Zayn's POV

Someone nudged my side hardly, and I stirred in my sleep, annoyed already. My eyes opened slightly, only to find my band-mate looking at me, with an apron tied around his body.

"Zayn! Get up! You're the only one that's late." Liam informed, nudging me awake again. I groaned and dug my face into the pillow. I hate it when someone interrupts my sleep.

"Coming daddy direction." I mumbled, knowing it will annoy him. He groaned and left the room, making me smile lazily. I got up from my bed, finally, brushing my teeth and having a quick shower before going for breakfast.

We were all staying at Niall's apartment, being too tired from the party last night. As I reached the kitchen, I saw all the four already their. Niall was on his phone, talking on his phone, glancing at his plate of breakfast once in a while. Liam and Louis were bickering about something, while making pancakes. Harry was amusingly watching them, eating his pancakes.

"You're late, ya silly goose!" Harry mumbled with a full mouth. I sneakily picked the pancake from the pan, which went unnoticed by the two chefs and sat at the dining table.

"Hmm..." I nodded at him and started eating. Thank God I wasn't hungover...

"Ah finally!" Niall sighed, picking his plate and digging into the pancakes.

"It was Paul, wasn't it? What did he say?" Harry asked, and Niall nodded.

"The next tour's starting in five months. And this month, we are having a holiday. Paul said we can go home." He answered, making Zayn and Harry nod. Louis and Liam joined them.

"That's great! But how about we have some good time together? A trip?" Louis asked, wiggling his eyebrows. I froze in my position for a quick second. Not a bad idea.. All of us nodded.

"Hmm.. Maybe a trip, all five of us together. And Paul and some other lads too." Liam continued. Harry gave a single, loud laugh and shook his head.

"I have a better idea.. We're gonna without security. Just the five of us, no one else! We'll have a secret trip!" He suggested, raising one eyebrow. I smirked.

"That's a great idea, Harry!" Louis exclaimed, I nodded in agreement. "C'mon Liam! Don't be such a wuss! We've never done that before.. Some change will be good." He argued, making Liam roll his eyes.

"Okay... fine. Where are we going? A country that we've never visited?" Liam asked.

"Maybe, a country which we're gonna tour for the first time." I suggested and looked at Niall. "Niall, what are the places we're touring?" Niall mentioned a few places from our tour schedule. He mentioned India, and my eyes lit up. I've always wanted to visit India.

"So.. which one?" Harry asked excitedly.

"I think India.. Our fans will be delighted!" Niall said as he took another pancake.

"I've always wanted to go there! It's a beautiful place. But no lad, we aren't informing our fans." Louis scoffed at Niall. He nodded knowingly.

"What place? The city we're doing our concert?" Louis asked. We nodded eagerly. Everyone of us seemed to like the idea. We hadn't had a proper vacation not being surrounded by fans or paparazzi, or our management taking toll. Of course, we loved our fans, but we needed a moment to breath too.

"I've heard India has great food." Niall mumbled with a full mouth.

"Yes it does, but stop talking about food Niall." I chuckled, and he laughed. "India is overall a great place to visit. So are we going?" I asked, glancing towards all of them.

"Yes, of course we are. Right guys?" Harry asked impatiently. He seemed too excited. 

"Done. Niall, what do you say mate?" Louis asked him.

"Anything for the lads, and of course, the food." Niall said shrugging. We laughed. All of us looked at Liam expectantly. He glanced at all of us and rolled his eyes, finally giving up and smiling a little.

"Okay, fine." Liam chuckled. Our moods lifted and we enjoyed the rest of the breakfast merrily. This is going to be great.

After a week, in the hotel room...

"Guys, are you done? I'm hungry." Niall asked. He was ready already, along with Louis.

"When are you not Niall?" Liam yelled from another room, making us laugh.

"Come on Liam, we can't be late. We're going to India!!" Louis yelled at him, his voice genuinely excited.

"Hey guys, I'm ready." Harry said, maybe he went towards Louis and Niall. Guess who's late?

"Me too. Zayn, come out buddy. We've to leave." Liam yelled at me. Yup, that's me. I'm late.

"He's probably flirting with his own reflection in the mirror." Louis said and I imagined him smirking. I rolled my eyes. Niall laughed at his statement. I took hold of my bags, ready to leave.

"I'm here, let's go!!" I said, rushing out of my room.

After a few hours..

We landed on the Chhatrapati Shivaji International airport in Mumbai. I was already feeling good, despite all the tiredness through the flight.

We all were in a diguise. Harry wore a hat, even Liam had an oversized hat on his head, Louis, Niall and I were wearing oversized hoodies with caps on. We knew we were looking strange, but it was better than getting crowded. We had taken a huge risk, and we had no idea what we were gonna do if the fans found out. Hopefully, that doesn't happen..

As we were heading out of the airport, trying to get to our hotel as fast as we could, I bumped into someone, so hard that the person fell down..

Aisha's POV

I entered the Chhatrapati Shivaji International airport, looking for my best friend, Muskaan. She had called me and asked me if I could pick her up. I had reluctantly agreed.

I was wandering there looking for her, as I bumped into someone, so hard that I fell down.

"Ouch!" I screamed because of the pain, rubbing my ass.

"I'm extremely sorry, are you okay love??" The guy in front of me, said in British accent, crouching down on the ground.

"Yea, I'm okay. Don't worry." I assured, taking my phone off the ground. The guy extended his hand to help. I took hold of it as we both got up.

"I'm sorry too, I was in a-"

I stopped talking as I noticed a pair of similar eyes staring into mine. A pair of hazel brown, beautiful eyes. My body wasn't under my control, I couldn't take my eyes away from his. They were irresistible. I stayed silent as he leaned in to kiss me.

I didn't knew why I was tempted to kiss him, even though I couldn't look anywhere but his eyes. We were about to kiss, just then...

Pehli nazar mein, kaisa jaadu kar diya..

Tera bann baitha hai mera jiya...

Janne kya hoga....

I woke up from my dream, quite startled by the sound of my phone. I groaned and took hold of it. Muskaan..

"Hey what's up?" I ask her, yawning. I missed her though, she had been gone for weeks.

"Where the hell have you been? I am waiting at the airport." Muskaan said. 

Shit... Shit! Shit! Shit! I cursed myself. My eyes looked at the wall clock. She had asked me to pick her up at 7:00 am and it was fuckin' 7:27 am right now. I ended the call and got up rapidly. I got dressed in a hurry and headed towards the airport. It was 7:43 am. 

I rushed into the airport, my phone started buzzing again. Her call again..

"Hey Muskaan, I'm really sorry. I was just-" I bumped into someone and fell on the ground. "Ouch!" I yelled quietly, forgetting I was talking to my best friend.

"I'm extremely sorry, are you okay?" The guy I bumped into said, in British accent, crouching down on the ground in front of me. Deja vu.. 

"Yes, I'm fine." I replied. The guy extended his hand to help. I took hold of it as we both got up. I lifted the phone to my ear.

"I'm going to my aunt's house for now. I'll be back till evening, Okay? Bye." She said and ended the call. I bit my tongue, she was angry, clearly. I sheepishly put my phone down and turned towards the stranger. There were 4 more guys around him, all of them looking at me.

"Are you okay? I was in a hurry and-" I stopped suddenly. I gazed into his eyes... I've seen them, in my dream?

Suddenly, somebody stepped on my foot. "Ahh!! You--" I yelled but his hand covered my mouth as his other hand's finger went to his lips.

"Shh! Please... We've worked really hard to come here unnoticed." The guy said. I pointed my finger towards my foot. He immediately looked at lifted his foot from mine. Then, he lifted his hand from my mouth.

"Oh! Sorry!" he said scratching the back of his neck. Damn, that accent!

"Its okay. Umm.. why unnoticed?" I asked curiously. Unnoticed!? Who even are they?

"Ah.. so the fans won't notice us?" A guy with short hair added.

"Fans? Why are you guys talking like you're some multimillionaire pop stars?" I asked in an amused tone. They all looked at each other.

"No, he's just kidding." A short guy said from behind him.

"Yea, do you know some place to eat? I'm really hungry." A blonde haired guy said.

"Yea, I do. If you're hungry, I can take you to a nearby cafe. If you don't mind." I really wanted to help them, they didn't looked like they're from around here.

"Why would we? Thank you, beautiful." A guy with curly hair said. Umm...Okay.... 

I took them out of the airport and towards the cafe. They were dressed awfully. Don't judge me, I'm a designer.. The first thing I would notice in people is their sense of dressing. But I didn't mind. They all seemed good to me. They ordered their food, while I ordered mine. Why was I still with them? I had no idea. Something just kept me there..

"Are you from around here?" The guy with short hair asked me.

"Yea, I'm from Mumbai." I replied. The boys exchanged looks before turning to me.

"Hey! So do you know every corner of Mumbai, like all the places to enjoy, eat and all??" The short guy asked hopefully.

"You can test me." I said confidently. Of course, I knew every corner of this city. I was born here. I lived here from the past 20 years.

"We've heard so much about India! We're from UK and Ireland. But, we love Indian culture and everything about it, so we decided to give a visit." The stranger guy said. After hearing this, suddenly a wave of patriotism flew through my body.

"Yea, India is special." I said proudly, my cheeks warming up slightly.

"So would you like to guide us for this trip? If you want, we will pay you for that." The guy asked. I shook my head.

"You don't need to pay me for that. I'd never take money from anyone, who loves India so much, to introduce them to this beautiful city." I replied with a smile.

"That's so sweet of you." The blonde one added. I blushed lightly.

"By the way, we didn't even introduce ourselves. I'm Niall, Niall Horan." The blonde one added. He directed his hand towards me and I accepted it.

"Aisha Mehra." I said with a smile.

"I'm Harry Styles." The curly said.

"Louis Tomlinson." The short one said.

"I'm Liam Payne from-" the one with short hair said, but suddenly stopped when the stranger nudged him. Strange....

"And I'm Zayn Malik." The stranger said. Nice names..

"Wow!!" I said wondering.

"What happened?" Liam asked.

"I don't know, your names sound awfully similar. And even your face." I replied and turned my gaze towards Zayn. I've seen him somewhere.

"Umm... Maybe, you just find my face similar?? Coincidence!" Zayn said shrugging his shoulders. I nodded my head after some seconds. Possible!

We enjoyed each other's presence for some more minutes. These guys were really so sweet. They interacted with me as if I was an good old friend of their's. But after sometime, they decided to leave for their hotel.

"Aisha, It was really nice meeting you!" Louis said as he got up from his seat.

" I am grateful I met you. You guys are really so sweet." I replied and took a look at everyone of them.

"Maybe we can hangout again." Harry said hopefully.

"Sure, Harry!!" I assured him.

"By the way, can I have your number? If.. you know.. you wanna show us some places?" Zayn asked.

"Huh..? yea.. Of course." I replied and smiled. He gave me his phone while he asked for my phone. We exchanged numbers and they were set off for their hotel.

"See you soon Aisha!!" Niall screamed from the window of their cab as I waved them.

I couldn't believed what just happened to me. I met 5 amazing guys and became friends with them. I was surprised, I didn't even knew them, but we connected so easily.

As I came home from airport, I went to my room and started thinking about the incident. My phone ringed, indicating a message.

From Zayn

Hey, what's going on ? 

Wow, I didn't see that coming....

To Zayn

Nothing special... What bout you ??

From Zayn

All the boys are resting in their rooms. Niall ate a pizza after entering our room.

To Zayn

Wow! He's a big foodie, I guess... Don't you need rest?

From Zayn

No.. I had a good sleep on the plane 

To Zayn

That's good 

From Zayn

Yea.. btw I'll talk to you later

To Zayn

Yea sure.. Bye

From Zayn

Bye ;)

Zayn's POV

I kept my phone aside and laid on the bed, thinking about Aisha. I won't lie, she was beautiful. Her smile was beautiful. Her brown eyes had a unfamiliar warmth, they were so.. captivating. And her hair were just as gorgeous. She had an unusual charm, it was attractive..

Wow, Zayn.. you just met her. Stop thinking so much.

"Mate, what happened?" Harry asked as he wiped his wet face. I shook my head rapidly

"Nothing, Harry. I was just thinking about today's plan." I replied. 

No, I lied.

"What do you mean by that?" He asked again.

"I mean, are we staying in the hotel today, or we're gonna explore?" I asked hopefully. I wish I could see Aisha again today, I didn't know why.

"Oh come on, Zayn. We're here to enjoy, of course we're doing something today. Why don't you call Aisha? Maybe she'll suggest something." Louis suggested.

"Yea, just a second." I replied. I pulled my phone out and dialled Aisha's number.

.

.

"Hello?" Aisha said. Her voice gave me goosebumps. Maybe it's just the journey..

"Hey Aisha, Zayn here. Do you have any plans for today?" I asked her.

"No, I don't. You wanna do something today?" She asked, I nodded.

"Yea, we were thinking about it.." I said wondering, but Louis took my phone away.

"Hey Aisha, Louis here. Why don't you come to our room with some of your friends? Maybe we can have some fun." He suggested. I tried making out what she replied, but failed.

"That'll be great! I'll tell Zayn to text you the address. See you at 4!" Louis said excitedly and hanged the phone, giving me my phone back.

"So lads, Aisha and some of here friends are coming at 4." Louis declared.

Aisha's POV

So, at 4. Maybe I'll take Alia and Muskaan with me. I quickly dialled Muskaan's number on my phone, hoping she wouldn't be mad at me.

"Hey, Aisha. What's up?" She asked me, her voice was calm. Maybe she wasn't angry now.

"Nothing much, but be ready at 4. I wanna introduce you to some new friends, we have plans. I'll pick you up from your aunt's house?" I asked, she hummed in response.

"Ok done." She said and hanged the phone. I sighed.

I had to convince Alia to come with me by telling her that we were going meet some of my cute friends, she wasn't that difficult to handle. Even, I haad convince Mom to make some vada pavs for the guys. They'd love them. Hope everything goes good!

......................

Friends... I'd really appreciate if you vote, comment and share this story. This is my first story, so it could be a bit crappy * nervous laughter*..

Edit: So, first when I entered the fandom, the first impressions of the boys were.. Harry: Flirt, Niall: Foodie, Zayn: Mysterious, Liam: Daddy of the group, Louis: Loud and funny. Now, that I know them pretty well (not well than some of the directioners, ofc), I feel a bit guilty, trying to portrait them the same in the story.

Take care and stress less... Lots of love!!
