I hear a knock on my door so I open it to see all the girls in front of me.

"Oh wow, shobai ekhane keno?" (Why is everyone here?) I ask surprised.

Fariha pulls out a basket full of Mehendi cones when I finally realise it. Of course.

"Hmm come in." I say and everyone rushes in.

"Do me first." Ma holds her hand out.

"No me." Boro chachi said while holding her hand out.

"Tomra shobai jhogra koro. Ami shobar sheshe jabo." (You all fight, I'll go at the end.) Fariha said from the corner.

"Areh, I will do everyone's don't worry," I say and start off with Boro Chachi.

-

One by one, I do everyone's Mehendi and they all leave my room, leaving me with Fariha. Or Fapu, as I called her.

"Sooo, any tea?" she said after everyone left and I started putting mehendi on her hands.

"Haire (Oh god)! Something so embarrassing happened to me!" I say as I remember the incident that happened to me today while I remember the incident.

Flashback*

I was waiting for my bus to go back home when a guy came up to me. Agh these guys! Why are they always behind me.

"Ma'am-"

"Not interested," I say while cutting him off.

"Huh?" he looks at me confused.

"I don't want to give you my number, so get out."

He scoffs. The audacity of this guy! 

"You must think so highly of yourself." he said and held out his hand. I was going to shout out another insult when I noticed the object in his hand. It was my phone! 

"Oh, umm. Thanks." I said while taking the phone. My face was red with embarrassment.

"Yeah." he left without another word. 

*Flashback ends

She breaks out laughing.

"Stop laughing! Your mehendi will get ruined!" I say annoyed.

"Okay, okay sorry. But it's too funny."

"No it's not!"

"I can imagine you at first going 'Not interested.' I've seen it happen way too many times." she says while still laughing.

"Yes! I thought he was one of those annoying guys who flirts with every girl they see!" I say while finishing her design. Hiding the name 'Ehsan' in her design just like boro chachi told me to.

Normally I tell her everything but chachi made me promise not to tell her so here I am.

"Tui mehedi dibi na?" (Won't you apply Mehendi?) she asks confused.

"I want to but my hands are tired after applying it on 10 different hands! And I can't put it on my right hand anyway."

"So what? At least do a small one on your left hand. It's Rayan bhai's wedding after all." she requested.

"Okay okay I will."

I take out another Mehendi cone and start applying a small design on my left hand.

"Accha, anything else happened today except that guy incident?"

"Something did but with the same freaking guy!" I said annoyed. "He was sitting beside me in the bus!" 

Fariha bursts out laughing. 

"Did you ask for his number?" she says still laughing.

"If you don't shut up, I'll draw a moustache on your face with mehendi so you can't show your face to anyone for 20 days!" I threaten.

"Okay okay sorry," she said while controlling her laugh as I finish my design.

"Do you want me to do your other hand?" she offered. Though obviously as a joke.

"Na na! Er theke bhalo ami ekta gorur kach theke mehedi kore ni." (No no. It'll be better if I get my Mehendi done by a cow.) I say as she looks at me annoyed. "Areh Fapu! Don't worry. One hand is enough for me. Now go. I want to sleep. I couldn't get much sleep yesterday as I had to wake up at 4 am for a mehendi appointment." 

"Okay okay. You need to wake up early tomorrow don't forget to turn your alarm on!"

"Listen to your own advice for once apu!" I say and close the door.

I finally kick Ehsan out of my room and lock my door so he can't get in anymore. Was he seriously just born to annoy me?

I lay in my bed and think about the interaction with the crazy girl I saw today.

Who did she think she was? 

That confidence when she said not interested? Honestly, I should've just taken the phone since she was not interested in taking it back.

Did she really think I wanted her number? Like I'm ever going to like someone like her!

And she really had to be beside me on the bus as well? Like why?

That disrespectful mannerless girl didn't even apologise!

I shove her thoughts away and open my laptop again to work on the deal with the Syeds our company just started.

Dad and Chachu were really excited to work on this project. Probably because Syeds have been friends with us Rezas for a long time.

It is their oldest son, Rayan's wedding tomorrow and Chachi herself is probably more excited for tomorrow than Joha Aunty (Rayan's mother).

And for some reason she wanted me to babysit Ehsan tomorrow.

Why should I babysit him when he is older than me? Though seriously acts like a child anyway so he could use some babysitting.

Everything will be fine.

As long as I don't see that crazy mannerless girl tomorrow. Gosh why am I even thinking about her?
