Mehendi

~Adira~

I was sitting in the cafeteria. Zoya was completing her 500 writing. Sara was saying something I wasn't thinking. My mind was not here.

Both didn't dare to talk about yesterday. They know me better.

Zoya was complaining about some noodles she ate last night. Sara was arguing about it. I closed my eyes. When both of them went silent. I opened my eyes to see, someone lunch was on our table. I lifted my eyes to see. Maira was smiling at me. I roll my eyes before closing it.

"Can I sit here?" Maybe she didn't get the answer of my eyes rolling.

Sara moved her bag , making her some space. "Yes, sure. Maira right?" Maira nodded. Zoya was looking at me then Maira.

"Will you mind if I ask something?" Zoya asked politely. "Yeah sure I wouldn't mind."

"Why your here?" Zoya went straight forward.

Maira smiled. "To have lunch and make new friends." Her positiveness melt Zoya's eyes now for sure. Sara let out a chuckle.

"I'm serious."

"I'm serious too."

"And I'm Sara." Sara entered the conversation because it wasn't going anywhere. Maira said salam to Sara. Sara replied.

They start having lunch. I leaned in my chair with close eyes.

"Maira which department are you?"

"I'm from Math department."

"Then you must be a freaking genius" Zoya said excitedly. Maira laughed. "I'm not. I stuck in it every time.'

"And we can't even go to the way let along stuck in it." Zoya said sadly.

"Math is all about clean mind . If your mind is calm then you can concentrate the formula well . I'm lacking of concentrate." Maira said and drink her juice.

"You can come to Adira, She's the future psychiatrist." Sara said with proud. "I sometimes listen her nonsense then my mood and mind became fresh and clean." I slapped Zoya's hand. Maira and Sara laughing hard.

"Awwwwu" she rubbed that place. "Your ban for your whole life in my treatment." I said and moved close to Sara. Zoya made a puppy eyes which I didn't give a second look. Which made Sara even more laugh.

"Adira, did you hear that, crack crack, my heart break " Zoya said while holding his heart. I looked at her. "You're holding your ****** " I said with a flat face.

"No I'm not. It's under my baby's natural feeder than what I can do?!!!!" I let out my laugh.

We all talked for a while. When Sara took out a Mehendi cone. "Guys I brought some Mehendi. Give me your hand Adira. I want to design it " I gave her my hand. Suddenly my side site pulled, Maira sat beside me, holding a cone in her hand. "I'll do it too."

They both started doing their art work on my palm.

"Make it less gorgeous. I'm looking like a newly married girl."

" What kind of flower it that? Lotus or Lily?

"Why your drawing net in here?"

I'm bothering both. They Told me to shut up but I didn't listen. I end up falling asleep.

Someone shaking me, I opened my eyes. Zoya was waking me up.

"Come college is over. You sleep the whole time." I nodded before getting up. We all got three free period.

"Where is Maira?" I asked after looked around.

"She felt 30 minutes ago. She had a class." I nodded.

Sara pulled my hand up to my face. "Look were done with it!" I looked at. In simply it was beautiful, gorgeous, awesome. I told them not to give heavy design, still they did. My hand looked beautiful.

"You can stare at your hand and look for your husband name later. Right now you have to go to the library, me to Hamza sir, and her to office. " Zoya Said before walked toward the exit.

I was so sleepy that Sara had to dropped me in the library. First thing I have to do is wash my face. My eyes were sore for sleeping. People will think I cried the whole night. Which I did but that doesn't have to know anyone. After washing my face I got out of the washroom. The librarian woman smiled at me.

"I'm surprised you came." She said. I chuckled. "I'm also surprised you didn't give complaint against me for breaking so many rules " she also did a small laugh.

"What happened nothing is your fault." I smiled at her replied.

"So what is my work for today." She checked the schedule before putting it down .

"You're quite free today. Just have to put the books which is messy. And the kids will be here in a few minutes with there project. You can help them with books if they needed." She said before looking at her computer. I turned around to see the library. It was quite a mess.

I walked around looking at everyone. There maybe some competition going on. Everyone was so busy.

In the end of the room, there was a book laying in the table. I went there picked it up. It's a science reality based book. When I about to put it in it's place another hand grabbed it from the other side. In progress, it grabbed my fingers too. When the fingers touch me, I pulled back my hand, which cause the book to fall. And I could see the person.

His hand was also hanging in the air. Mouth was opened a bit. Starring at my eyes. My eyes roam around his whole face.

He quickly gulped and looked away. Before walking away from there.

My eyes dropped down to my hand. I still feel his touch in my fingers. Eshaan's fingers were warm. My heart was beating fast. I took a sit to calm it down.

I again looked at the book when I noticed something.

"Oh no. I forget that I have Mehendi on my hands. It's still wet." On the book cover, there was my fingers mehendi marks. I looked at my hand sadly. Top of the fingers got ruins. I turn my hand when I saw the other side a small part was smashed too.

This might happened when Eshaan's fingers touch.

"I have to wash this." I got up and walk toward the washroom to wash the Mehendi off.

~Eshaan~

I couldn't believe I again touch her. I didn't thought that her hand would be there. I can't kicked out the memory out of the mind. Her fingers were cold. Why doesn't she used any cream or heat pad.

I didn't stay in the library after that. I couldn't. Looking at her was enough to make me feel something weird. I don't know. I never felt mad to other. I can't help it get mad at her, talk back to her. I don't know what I'm looking or asking from her. I am still looking for something in those eyes. Maira isn't less trouble. She also very curious about this Adira.

Her name is also make me shiver. I can't help but look at them who take her name.

I'm ruining my trust on Allah by thinking about her. She's a non- mahram!!!!

She's a Muslim just by name. She wears jeans, tops. Doesn't wear hijab. Always talk around like she doesn't care about anyone.

She doesn't even care that boys look around her lustly.

I sat beside my sister who was talking with my cousin Saifar.

"Maira pass me the water bottle." She took the bottle and gave it to me. When I hold the bottle she looked at me, raising one eyes brow.

."What?"

She smiled a little before pointing at my hind and asked.

"Who's Mehendi is that?" When I noticed I have Mehendi on my finger tips. My palm was red in mehendi's colour.

Saifar start teasing me. Maira looked at laughing.

"Who's Mehendi design you have ruined?" Saifar said tease.

"I don't know how this--" I shuttle.

"I know something but I'm not sure about this." Maira said and smirked.

"What you know? Tell us." Saifar asked with curiosity. I looked away because I have a feeling that I know from who I got this.

"This morning, I applied Mehendi on someone's hand. If she's not that person than I don't know who. Want to know who I applied?" She said to me with loud voice.

I got up. "I could be an accident. It's not a big deal.."

"Saifar Bro wanna know who?" Saifar nodded.

" Brother, did you ruin her whole Mehendi or just a little. Because I didn't heard any argument thou.."

"It's just a tip of the finger. I don't know Adira was wearing Mehendi." I said it in annoyed. Maira and Saifar looked at me. Saifar was shocked and Maira was holding her laugh.

"I thought you said you don't know how you get that. Now you know you didn't ruin the whole thing. Still you know That girl is Adira." I was speechless. Saifar was laughing looking at my face.

When Maira looked behind me.

"Adira!!" Hearing her name my whole body got alert.

~Adira~

I walked around for a while. When Librarian told me , I can go home today as she will go somewhere too. I step out if the library , walking toward the park lon whom someone called me.

"Adira!!" I looked at my right to find Maira running toward me. Behind him, there was Eshaan who's back was facing me and Another man I don't know him.

Maira came to me and gave me a big smile. I reflect her smile.

"Show me your Mehendi. I want to see how it looks." She pulled my hand and scanned it.

"Mashallah, it's turned out beautiful. Saifar looked how talented I am!!!" She called that man. I look at him.

"Adira, he's Saifar my Cousin Brother, he's also the same year with my brother." Saifar greet me and I did too. When I greet him , he gave me a big smile.

"The colour turned out so deep. Your husband will love you very deeply." Maira teased me and pushed my shoulder playfully.

"Yeah, your Mehendi looks good on you. The brown colour shinning on your palm. Our brother also did some colour. Just the difference, it looks gorgeous in your hand and funny on his hand. " Saifar said and pulled out Eshaan's hand. It was red on some some places. Eshaan pulled his hand out and slapped his head. Walked towards the car.

My eyes moved to Maira only to find her looking at me with a smirk. I was taken back.

"I will take my leave now then. Thanks for this" show my Mehendi hand.

What she did was unexpected, she hugged me tightly. There was Hong sound came.

"Coming. Patient!"

"Okay bye!!" And she waved at me , ran to the car.

I still can't believe she's so cheerful and she didn't even have said anything or keep grade against me for yesterday. Eshaan was right, I'm not qualified to talk to her. She's very precious.

I moved toward my car.
