Story

It is not easy to say it has been days since Amir and Sara met at the bus station. But the feeling of joy could seem in the eyes of the pair as they endlessly stared into each other’s eyes. >>Haven’t seen you much lately?<< Amir asked silently as their past argument flashed through his eyes. >> I know, I wasn’t supposed to say that because she is dear to you. I only wanted you to give her some space and figure out things herself. With an understanding, she nodded. She was figuring out her mistake, too. >>I also want to apologize for my outburst<<. Sara said. >>Don’t think about it. You weren’t at fault<<. Amir replied. The pair couldn’t help but desire to dive further into their conversation. Sara looks side to side, and Amir unintentionally invites Sara to the date, wanting to break off the awkwardness and not knowing what to say. The young lady was indeed surprised. She thought about the probability of him having a girlfriend in her mind. But before she could get much time to figure out the appropriate answer. Surprised by what just came out of his mouth, Amir tries to take his words back, but Sara stops him and agrees to go on a date with him. On the whole way to school, Sara was smiling and couldn’t stop thinking about her earlier encounter. The same thoughts ran through her head. Does he have a girlfriend? Or I didn’t get him right or something? As Sara thinks about the date, she crushes on someone with a complex, muscular figure. It was the one and only Lukas. With a strange but severe look, he tells Sara to help him to confess to Sabrina. After hearing him, everything clicks. She realizes her misunderstanding of the situation. She apologizes to Lukas and, not hesitating, accepts his assistance in confessing to Sabrina. >>I need to think outside the box sometimes<<. Sara said to herself, not after Lukas had barely left. Her lessons were usual. The grumpy Biology teacher is messing around with students again with his unpredictable class tests. The long line at the school kiosk made the girls impatient. It was ten minutes after the bell rang, and waiting that long in line could reduce the chances of the girls sharing gist. Out of knowing where Lukas had appeared, he insisted on helping the girls. Sara had no problem. Sabrina did but unwillingly gave in, wanting to chit-chat with Sara. The girls did know the school they attended. They knew everyone who passed the table. As they continued, Sara raised the topic of Lukas. >>So, what do you think about Lukas? Isn’t he so adorable? Fetching our food for us, and you know, you two make a superb couple<<. But with a disgusted face, Sabrina answered >>Sara, can we not talk about him?<<. This response unsettled Sara because she thought they liked each other. So she asked for the reason, but Sabrina just ignored the question. Amir was still lost in his thoughts on the other side of the city. The last time he checked, he found out he was married. Could he go on a date with another girl? Deep down, he knew he liked Sara, but what about his wife? He twists the story and asks his co-worker whether a friend, who is married and has children, wants to go on a date with a new girl he loves deeply. Amir’s co-worker slashed his best friend, seen through him since they weren’t twelve, and put two and two together and confirmed the situation to be Amir’s. >>Love is a special gift to humans. Not all living things can be loved. Some people think love is all about pleasure, but it isn’t. Love chooses where to stay and grow<<.
