"The ones who notice the storm in you eyes, the silence in your voice and the heaviness in your heart are the ones you need to let in"

This whole week I have been a Whalien. There was no BTS, no Simmi and no Nishi. I felt empty the whole week except the time I spent with Augustin. We were now quite good friends and he talked more freely to me now. I talked to Simmi and Nishi on the phone almost every day. I told them about Augustin. I also talked to Jungkook thrice this week. He was sad that he couldn't meet his best-friend, that was me. I talked to Jiminie and Tae once. I kept thinking about Elliot, but not much. I didn't go to the gym because I didn't want another such encounter with Elliot. Now, I was relaxed since, he didn't do anything; not that I trust him. He can come out of the blue and create a problem, so, I was being precautious about everything.

One more thing, I filled the admission form for 'Dance and Style Ballet Academy, Seoul'. I have liked ballet since a long time, but never got the opportunity. I just came across the advertisement and applied for it. 

Today, Nishi and Simmi are coming to Seoul and I am going to pick them up at the airport, sitting in the cab and waiting to arrive at the Incheon airport. Finally, the lonely and dull week is over. I was excited to meet Nishi and Simmi. I've missed them a lot. And, I decided not to tell them about Elliot; since, there was no problem now.

I reached the airport and waited for my friends. I took a look at my wrist-watch. I put my hands inside the pocket of my hoodie. It's been really cold this week. I hope Simmi and Nishi are wearing warm clothes. I don't want them to catch a cold.

I saw them coming out of the airport with their luggage. I waved towards them, they noticed me after a full minute of waving and waved back happily at me. I felt a wave of relief wash over me seeing them. I felt light now, after seeing them after the heavy week.

Nishi gave me a tight hug as soon as she reached me. Simmi smiled at me as she stood near us watching us hug. I extended one of my hands towards her gesturing her to join us. She gladly accepted my invitation and joined us.

"I missed you" all three of us said at the same time. We parted and giggled at out telepathy.

"Let's get going, it's cold" I told them and head home after buying some pastries for our dessert.

It was night and I kept the dinner ready at home since, I didn't have my shifts today, my Wednesdays are off.

"You know Jiminie said he likes my smile so much that he missed it" Nishi chirped happily on reaching home.

"Can you please explain what's going on between you two?" I said raising my eyebrows at her. Simmi kept their luggage and went in for a shower.

"Umm...nothing.... We just talk to each other as friends. Nothing else" she said blushing a bit.

"Oh my~ our Nishi is blushing. This is once in a million moment

" I said taking her face in my hands, teasing her.... "Simmi, come out fast!!!! Nishi is blushing, you can't miss this" I yelled at the bathroom door, calling for Simmi.

As Simmi was done with her shower and changing into her pajamas, she came out and gave a fake-shocked expression to us...

"What? Nishi is blushing? Ah~ she's in love with Jimin. I knew this" Simmi said joining me in teasing Nishi.

"Can both of you stop teasing me? I need to shower" Saying that, she ran towards the bathroom grabbing her clothes.

We started singing Jimin's 'Serendipity' loudly to her.

"When you see me,

When  you touch me..."

We heartily laughed at her reaction and started making fun of her. This is the first time in the whole week that I laughed like this. The credit goes to my best-friends Simmi and Nishi. As Nishi was showering, taking her time; me and Simmi plated the dinner. We were talking about stuffs and how was our week. I told her truthfully about my awful week. Nishi came out in her pajamas and sat with us for dinner. We started eating and playing with food and our usual bickering. Nishi complained, how Simmi is being so lazy nowadays. I said, she has been lazy since ages. Then, we had a good laugh while Simmi made a poker face.

We finished our dinner-cum-bickering and cleaned the dishes together. We were talkative and loud the whole time.

Nishi switched on the TV and searched through the channels for VH1. She finally got it and kept the remote down. She sat on the couch enjoying the songs. I took the pastries out on plates for me, Nishi and Simmi. I handed one to Nishi and another to Simmi. We sat on the couch together sticking to each other because of the cold. We enjoyed our pastries with the songs playing on TV. We sang along loudly and laughed. Simmi kept on forgetting the lyrics.

"We are going to BTS's dorm tomorrow" Nishi told us which I already knew.

"Oh~" was all Simmi said. I nodded. I can't wait to meet them, it's been a week since, I met them.

There was something that I was forgetting, what was that? I couldn't remember that.... Leave it... I'll remember it gradually....I hope so.....

We went to bed after talking about our endless gossips.

"Cherry, how are you and Kookie?" Nishi asked me.

"We are best-friends now. Our date went really well, and we talk on phone sometimes" I said happily.

"That is really good. I am happy for you Cherry" Nishi said, smiling.

"Me too" Simmi said who was listening to us silently.

"Good Night" we said to each other and went to sleep.

Now that my friends are around me I feel relieved. Nothing bad can touch me now. 

Author's Note:

After a week our lonely Noor is happy to meet her friends and is excited to meet BTS tomorrow. Yes, she applied for ballet classes. That's great. Let me tell you, she learned ballet in her childhood for a short time, after that she didn't got any chance for connecting to ballet again. I didn't included this in the story, but yes it is there.

Noor is so happy when he is with her friends. They had fun bickering each other. Without bickering friendship is incomplete. 

In my real life also I was a Whalien today. The only time I was happy was my lunch time at school with a few crazy people who were planning to create a band which also included me as a vocalist....they are all crazy...

The meaning of Whalien may not be clear to all...so here's a little help for you...   http://putriazizahfitri.blogspot.in/2016/04/short-story.html 

You may read this if you want to know...even I didn't knew what Whalien meant and then fortunately I got this site....and knew the real meaning....it's heart touching...

I hope you liked the chapter. Keep supporting 'DESTINY'. Thank you for reading.

Happy reading.
