Hot summer day making the skin burn as well as the heart. Holding the backpack Sara runs inside the classroom with her only friend Aria, they took their seat infront of a group guys.
Class continuous Sara's attention shift to a voice coming from behind, Ari got irritated with that voice but Sara started adoring.
Teacher ask questions to the class suddenly the answer comes from that voice. Sara couldn't hold back anymore, she turn around to the person.
Her eyes widen when her eyes met with him...His long black hair with dimple on his cheeks making him look cuter yhan any guy she ever met. His bad eyesight giving him an advantage cause with glasses he was giving that smart nerdy vibe.neither of them say anything, Just a little eye contact left their heart shaken.
Days passed now Sara's eyes wonder only to see him, she couldn't hold herself from wanting to see his face. Ari noticed something is going on in Sara's head so she asked 'what happen Sara? Are you searching something or someone?' Sara's eyes widen, she quickly look away and lied 'yeah i was wondering our class seems too quiet' Maye that wasn’t whole lie,a half truth cause that guy makes the whole class laugh with his silly jokes. Ari couldn't understand her and drag her towards college gate. There's a event going on in their college, everyone dressed up to pretty. When Sara about to enter Ari whisper something in her ear, Sara heart stopped hearing her "Sara, look at that guy. Wasn’t he the one who was sitting behind us in class?" Sara quickly look at the direction Ari pointed, Her heart dropped for a second. She whispers in low voice "He shorten his hair" Ari replied playfully "Awww, did you wanna braid his long hair?" Sara swat Ari's arm playfully "shut up. Why would I? He's nothing special" but in her mind that guy is more than special. They both started walking inside, Sara secretly looking at him while he was busy on call.
Suddenly he tilted his head, their eyes meet again but this time it wasn’t just Sara but that guy also felt something in his chest. Before he could say her something his friend calls out "Aron?" Sara quickly walk away with Ari without wasting a second but inside she's happy that finally she comes to know his name.
Aron's friend- Louis tease him "Were you eyeing on that little bird?" Aron said nonchalantly "She's not my type." Louis sigh and grab aron by his neck playfully "Did you thought i haven't noticed how you look at her? Just don't eat her,she looks so innocent" Aron roll his eyes and push Louis away while walking towards the event area "No one is innocent or naive, maybe she knows how to manipulate others" Louis chuckled and reply "Looks like someone trying to read her". Louis raised his hands in surrender when Aron glare.
While enjoying the event and decoration Sara bumped with someone, juice spill over her pink dress. She looks up in pure annoyance then she found out god was in her side "Aron? You?". But Aron panicked cause the dress is ruined "I'm really sorry i was looking up so i couldn't notice you, let me making this up to you". Sara frowned "looking up? See, i know I'm short but no need to make fun of that like this." Sara got hurt thinking he's making fun of her insecurity like everyone else. Aron leans down to meet her eyes "You're misunderstanding, little bird. Your height makes you look cuter than anyone here" He removed his jacket and wrap around her. Her cheeks flushed she forgot her dress is ruined and she was annoyed "What are you doing?". Aron took her hand and pull her to a scheduled area. Sara ask in fear and panic "where are you taking me? Let me go, my friend is waiting." Aron stopped and put his hands on her shoulders "Shhh little bird, I'm not trying to hurt you. But you're quite anxious, are you always this much scared of everyone?" Sara nod looking down her hands are trembling "I should leave, my dress is also stained". Aron stopped her "Let me give you a ride. To make uo the mess I've done". Sara couldn't refuse it when he ask, she agreed. Aron took her hand and lead her towards parking in the way Sara informed Ari about everything.
Sara got surprised when Aron start his bike, before she could stop her voice comes out "Is this really your's?" Aron chuckled and nod "yup, it's mine. Now will you sit or just stare at my bike like it's the last meal?" Aron tease her. Sara's face turn red in embarrassment, she shyly climbed behind him hesitating to hold onto him "Don't drop me please". Aron wasn't showing any mercy to this shy baby, he again tease her "How could I drop a babygirl?". Sara frowned "I'm not". "You’re an angry bird for sure" Aron tease before starting to ride the bike. Sara wrap her hand around his waist to not fall or maybe to feel him more closely. Aron got distracted but didn't say anything.
The the bike stopped right infront of Sara's apartment. Sara get down from the bike "Thank you, Aron" she smiled warmly making his heart beat faster. Aron nod and leave giving her his charming dimple smile. That smile, bike ride was more than enough to keep Sara in her imaginary world for years. She felt like his scent is still lingering with her, then she realize Aron's jacket is still wrapped around her. "Omg! He left it" she hug that jacket against her chest while walking towards her place. The night fall silent but two hearts beating faster than usual.
Months passed and Sara hold onto his memories of that day, she couldn't able to see him again as if he vanished. Six months later he comes back to attend classes, then she comes to know that Aron was out of country for his father's business. She felt a little insecure again her mind warn her 'he's so rich, don’t dream about him. You’re nothing infront of those girls he must hang out with' but her heart says to keep going. In the battle of her heart and mind somewhere she lost. Aron didn’t talk to her, he just stare at her in classes. Sara noticed but brush it off 'May be I'm overthinking, maybe he forgot that night'. The only reason that kept her burning heary safe was Aron's presence now also felt heavy. She got tangled between the urge to get close to him again and the fear of getting ignored by him.
Sara distance herself again. She stopped searching for him in every crowd without knowing that Aron search for her. Aron couldn't understand why she turn distance, he tried to talk to her but she's either busy with her friends or not attending classes.
Distance grows faster and Aron meet someone else, someone who's every Sara isn't. That girl wasn't confused or shy like Sara, instead she confessed her feelings to him. After a year Aron gets into relationship with that girl but Sara still hanging on him even if she ignore him. She felt a sharp pain through her chest when she saw Aron with another girl on the same bike "i was late, too late." She whispered to herself before walking away from their.
"Feel the warmth
until they have
Feel the kindness
until it’s there
Cause who knows
when God plans to take it away"
