Amna’s POV

“Amna beta uth jao.”, I could hear my mom from downstairs.

“Jee mama..”, I said as I pulled my comforter over my face. It had been two weeks since I had started going to Shehry’s filming site everyday. All his friends, includomg Umer, my brother teased me everyday, saying I was his girlfriend, and I noticed that the words ‘girlfriend’ made him blush. I could clearly see his cheeks getting red, and his eyes trying to avoid mine. Did this mean something?

Right then my phone began to vibrate and I picked up to see who was calling me this early in the morning, that too on the weekend. It was Sana.

“Hello..”, I said in my sleepy voice.

“AMNAAAAA! Tu abhi tak so rahi hai? I’m coming to pick you up in half an hour. Get ready. Aaj final filming scene hai yaad hai na?” 

Oh shit! I had totally forgotten. Today was Saturday, which meant it was the weekend, and Shehry and his friends had decided to wrap up the filming for their video today. Surprisingly, Sana was making a special appearance in their video too.

“Yaaaar! Aaj meri tabiyat nai theek. You go ahead, I can’t come today.” I felt so bad. Today was my best friend’s first ever appearance in a YouTube video, and I wasn’t going to be there with her.

“Amna, bas 1 ghante ki to baat hai. Please aa jao”, she begged.

Although I wanted to go so badly, I had to say no, because I didn’t want Shehryaar to get a wrong impression. All this while I have been attending his filming sessions, kahin who yeh na samajh baithey ki I like him. 

“Nahi yaar aaj nahi hoga”, trying to sound sick. Sana agreed and decided to come over to my house after the shooting. 

Shehry’s POV:

I was really excited today. Although it was our last filming session today for this video, me and the boys had something planned for the girls. I knew Sana liked Hussain for sure, from what I had seen in the past 2 weeks, and now Hussain liked her back too. So we had decided that while filming, Hussain would pretend to be in character, but instead actually propose to Sana, and we would record her reaction on the camera. 

But, what the boys didn’t know was that I had secretly planned to give Amna a surprise too. Although she never really expressed her love for me, she always came withme for the practice session, and never really stopped the boys when they teased me about Amna being my girlfriend. This obviously had to mean something. Maybe she liked me too. Well, only time will tell.

We were at the filming site, waiting for the girls to arrive. Sana had told me that she would pick up Amna on her way, so they would arrive together.

Soon, Sana’s car arrived, and I could feel the butterflies in my stomach. My heart skipped a beat, and I got nervous.  I was actually going to ask her out.

The car stopped, and the door at the drivers side opened. It had to be Sana obviously. She was wearing  a pretty orange, lace dress, with black leggings and black high heels.

“Wow! Yeh toh full tayar ho ke aayi hia aaj”, said Hussain excited.

Sana locked the car and walked towards us.

Why did she lock the car? Where is Amna? Why isn’t she getting out of the car?

Hussain walked towards Sana, grabbed her hand, and made her twirl.

“You look very beautiful today.”, he told her. I could see Sana blush shyly. I bet she could’ve died from excitement at that point. 

But where was Amna? 

“Sana!”, I had to interrupt their lovey dovey session, “Where is Amna?”, I asked. 

“Umm Shehry, actually Amna ki tabiyat nai theek, so she couldn’t make it today!” 

WHAAAATTTTT?

“What? She’s not here?”, said Hussain. 

“No, I spoke to her over the phone this morning, and she sounded pretty sick.”, she said.

“Oh well, I guess we’ll have to shoot without her today.”, said Hussain casually, as if Amna not being here didn’t make a difference at all. Well, ofcourse it didn’t make a difference to him, and neither to Waqas, and Atif, but it made a very ig difference to me.

“Waqas! Atif! Amna’s not here today! We’ll have to shoot without her”, said Hussain walking towards them.

I suddenly felt really low. I didn’t want to shoot anymore. I didn’t want to do anything anymore. I just wanted to see Amna. She was here, with us, every single day for the past two weeks. EVERY SINGLE DAY! Then why is it that she suddenly decided to skip today’s session? 

“Shehry aaja”, yelled Waqas.

I didn’t realize that it was already time for the last scene. The proposal wala scene.

I walked behind the camera, while Waqas stood next to me holding his phone, ready to vlog, and Atif was ready with the flower petals, that he was going to throw over Hussain and Sana.

How I wished Amna was here. I want to talk to her ASAP. 

“Okay guys ready, roll camera, lights, and action!”, said Atif acting all professional.

I pressed the record button on the camera, and Waqas started to vlog too.

Hussain got on to hi knees, grabbed Sana’s hand, and said, “Sana! I love you.”. He kissed her hand, and I could see Sana crying with happiness. She couldn’t control herself. “I –I – love you too Hussain!”, she said, as Hussain got up and hugged her. 

“AWWWWW”, said Waqas, and Atif. Atif then poured the rose petals over them, and the whole scene looked like a scene from a perfect romantic Bollywood movie. 

Hayeee!

Hussain then decided to take Sana out on a date, to a restaurant, while Atif and Waqas packed all the equipment.

I went and sat in my car, pulled out my phone. I scrolled down my contacts list, until I reached Amna.

Should I call her? 

I mustered up the courage, and decided to text her, if not call. 

“Hey Amna! Sana told me you’re sick. Hope you’re feeling better now. I really missed you today”

I re-read the message, before sending it, and realized I should change the ‘I’ to ‘We’.

‘I missed you seems a bit too much, although that was the truth.

“Hey Amna! Sana told me you’re sick. Hope you’re feeling better now. We really missed you today”.

There. Much better. 

Send. 

I started the car and drove back home waiting for her reply.

Amna’s POV:

Sana had told me that she would come after the session, and she wasn’t here yet.

Uff yeh ladki bhi na.

‘Tweeeet’ my phone buzzed with a new message. 

Shehryaar: “Hey Amna! Sana told me you’re sick. Hope you’re feeling better now. We really missed you today.”

Show off! Trying to show as if he’s concerned about me.

I decided not to reply just yet, and chose to reply only after I had spoken to Sana.

2 hours later Sana arrived. She looked so pretty, in the orange lacey dress, as if she had gone for a date. 

“Oye hoye! Date wate pe toh hoke nai aa rahi ho”, I joked.

“Amnaaaa! Amna, Amna, Amna! Date se hi toh aa rahi hoon. You wouldn’t guesss what happened today!” she said, grabbing by my shoulders and spinning round in a circle. 

“What?” I asked as we both sat down on my bed.

“Hussain Asif. Asked. Me. Out. Today.”

“Whhaaa? Are you serious?”, I couldn’t believe what she just said.

“Yes. We even went for a date.” 

Sana continued talking about her date with Hussain, for the next 45 minutes, and I was so happy for her, and then she mentioned how it was Hussain’s and Shehry’s plan. 

SHEHRY! SHIT! I totally forgot I to reply to his text. 

I showed Sana the text message, and she told me how all of the boys missed me today. 

Okay! I guess I was wrong. I guess all of them just missed me today. Maybe Shehry isn’t that bad after all. 

I quickly grabbed my phone and texted him back.

“Hey I’m so sorry I couldn’t make it today. Yeah I’m feeling much better now. Thanks for asking.”
