We found each other at the wrong time
- Eight word short story!

Authors pov

Bright moonlight shone like silver ornaments in the glistening water. Only the sound of crickets and some of dogs could be heard.

No humans were around causing her shiver to at the thought of some mishap happening She should have listened to Ahaan and gone with him instead of being stubborn and sitting here all alone.

"Ain't you too feisty and stubborn?" She jumped hearing the deep masculine voice near her ears.

"You scared me fool" She scrunched her face in disgust while her hands were still on her chest, near where her heart beats.

"I am glad that I was able to scare a Chudail" He gave her a toothy grin while taking a seat beside her.

"I was always a chudail for you" She whispered, narrowing her eyes remembering something from her college time.

They were both silent but this time, the silence wasn't suffocating. Because both of them were indulged and immersed in the same thought and memory.

Flash back

It was a hot sunny day. Ayesha and Ahira were back from their boring lectures and were sitting in the hostel room. Well, Ayesha was sitting while Ahira was hastily getting ready to go to the library to complete her project.

"Is it necessary to go?" Ayesha whined for the 'n'th time and Ahira rolled her eyes at her friend.

"I gotta complete my project in this week or else I won't get time later" She replied taking her backpack.

Adjusting her hijab for the last time she walked out saying her bye.

Ayesha sighed softly looking at the way Ahira exited. She closed the door and decided to take a small nap before she start her studies.

She laid down but sleep was nowhere. Sighing softly to herself she got up and decided to do some self care stuff.

Washing her face, she put on her favorite papaya scrub and was massaging her face when there was knock on the door.

Knock knock

Knock knock

Knock knock

"Man! Have some patience!"

Knock knock

Knock knock

"Are coming! Who the hell is this now?" She asked in an annoyed tone while opening the door.

"Your future husband!" Exclaimed a voice.

Ayesha looked at the person in front with her eyes wide, jaw on the floor and her heart beating wildly.

"What?" She whispered.

"Ahh! Just kidding! Have you looked at yourself, I would never marry a chudail" He joked unaware how this joke one day would be both of theirs reality.

"Get lost!" She glared at him and pushed him out, closing the door with a thud.

Knock knock

Knock knock

Knock knock

Knock knock

"Ugh!! Why the hell are you here?" She shouted.

"Duh! My sister studies here!" He shouted back in a duh tone.

"Your sister is not here, so sorry"

"Oh God! Ayesha, everyone is looking at me weirdly so open this damn door" He shouted while trying to control his laughter.

"Its your punishment for calling me chudail" She shouted back.

"Acha na Ms. Lioness! Sorry" He stifled a laugh.

Ayesha opened the door, all freshened up with her hair now tied up into a ponytail.

"Woah! Chudail to Pari!" Exclaimed Ahaan playfully to earn a glare from Ayesha.

Flashback Ends

With a sigh she kept her head on Ahaan's shoulder and closed her eyes feeling content.

Feeling Ayesha's head on his shoulder, Ahaan got up abruptly making Ayesha lose her balance but she steadied herself giving him a 'are you serious' look.

"I am going back home. If you don't want to then you are more than free to stay here the whole night" He said before walking out.

Ayesha just stared numbly at him not able to pinpoint her emotions. She looks to her right side to find her mobile on the bench.

Ahaan went out and spotted some drunkers lurking in the surrounding. Something inside of him made him walk back inside the park.

He spotted Ayesha in the same position. He walked towards her and held her hand. Without saying a word or letting her protest, he walked out of the park with her trailing behind him  dumbfounded while her hands were still trapped in his hold.

He opened the passenger door and pushed her inside while he got into the driver seat.

"Where are you taking me?" Ayesha asked.

"To your house, safe and sound"
