Wait, Zaria. You mean that tall guy with the half-sleeve shirt and laptop?
Zaria
Yeah. The one who looks like a poetry line in motion.
Zenobia
Omg. That’s Arif — Computer Science. Final year. Rumour says he rejected the prettiest girl in the batch.
Zaria
Arif.
(Repeats in her head silently.)
So that’s his name.
Zaria
He walked past me today… his perfume? Oud, I think. And his eyes?
They didn’t just look at me.
They paused.
Zenobia
Haha, don’t fall too fast. You have assignments to survive.
Zaria
Too late.
My soul already knows his name.(typing...)📨
She didn’t know then what kind of storm Arif would become.
But in that moment, all she knew was someone finally made her forget the boy with the dragon keychain.
(Zayyan and Arif.... unknowingly she was torn between the two...unaware of the storm that awaits)
