Finding The Love In Your Eyes

*Nia home*

*Nia's Pov*

I finished all my homework, so that I will be free this whole weekend.

Then I get and go to what Lia is doing. I open the door and see her lying on the bed.

"Hey!" I said

"Hey." She said in a sad tone.

"Are you alright?" I asked her.

"No. I am not fine Nia." She sits in her bed.

"What? What happened to you?" I asked.

"Oh. What happened to your knees?" She saw the wound in my knee.

"That's nothing. You tell me what happened." I asked seriously.

"He didn't come. I don't know what happened to him. What if I am not going to see him again?....." I cut her.

"Lia, stop overthinking. He might have his own things to do. Maybe he won't go in the bus where you go. That didn't mean you won't see him again. Okay."

"But Nia. What if he has a girlfriend?" She starts worrying.

"Stop it , Lia. I told you that I found him for you. Tomorrow we go. So get up early." Then I saw her face become happy.

"Really!" She asked excitedly.

"Yes!" I said casually.

We were talking about it. Then she looked at my wound.

"You didn't say what happened?" She asked me.

"Oh I just fell down." I said casually.

"Don't lie to me. I can tell if you're lying or not by seeing your face." She said, How does she know about it? That I am lying. I was shocked.

"Tell!" She asked again.

"Umm… that's because Emma's friend Sarah and her minions pushed me."

Then I said everything that happened today.

"How dare she push you? Did Emma know it?" She asked me.

"Yes. She will know that. Because now the whole class. When she pushed me, one of her friends took the video and uploaded it to the class group." I said sadly.

"What? They also took the video. Aah these girls are crazy or what?" She was furious.

"And one more thing is there. Today morning Emma came to me and asked me to say sorry to her friends. But I said no."

"What? She asked you to apologise to her?" Lia was getting angry.

"Yeah! She asks Harry not to be involved in this problem. And she said that she was doing and asking to apologise because she cares for me. Is it true Lia? Does she care for me?" I asked this question with a heavy heart.

"No. That's not. If she cares for you she will help you and ask her friends not to hurt you. But look Harry, he really cares for you Nia. He stands for you when you're in trouble, he treats you when you are hurt. This is what care is." Lia said in a soft tone. She knows that I'm hurt.

"I don't think so, Lia. He was angry at me. I don't know why he was behaving like this. He cares for me but today he scares me." I'm curious. "Why does he care for me? I am no one to him. I didn't do anything to him. Then why does he care so much for me and gets angry when it comes to matters? Even he didn't know why he was like that." I sighed and looked at her.

"Hy, you don't even understand that so many things happen. He is in love with you."

"What? That's total nonsense. He is not in love. I think he was just…." I don't know what to say. I sit confused in front of her.

"What? Say." She teased me.

"I don't know!" I start biting my lips.

"Hahahaha… you will understand it later." She said,

Then my mobile gets the notification. It's from Harry. He sent me a video of me playing guitar. Then I played the video and Lia saw it.

"Today also you play guitar? Yaa you're good at playing guitar and you sing well." She said while watching it.

"Really, thank you." I bow to her and she laughed.

Who took the video?" She asked.

"Harry." I said casually.

"Ohhhhhhh!" She teased me.

"What?" I shout at her.

"Nothing!" And she giggled.

"Okay be ready tomorrow. Wake early and wake me up also." I said and started leaving the room. She hugged me.

"Thank you so much my Little sis." And she kissed me on my cheeks. I show eww expressions.

Then I came to my room and lay on my bed and started thinking about what Lia said. Is he in love with me? Why should he love me? Why does he care for me? Ahhh it's hard and confusing. Then I close my eyes and try to sleep but I can't sleep. Everything that happened today was playing on my mind. The way he searched for me the whole school, the way he hugged me, the way he cared for me. I don't know if he loves me or not. But I think I am falling for him. After a few minutes I slept.

*Morning*

"Nia, wake up." Lia starts to shout in my ears.

"Get lost Lia. Let me sleep." I shouted.

"Hey. Did you forget today we have to go and search for my man. You promise me you will help me." Then I realised.

"Lia, 5 more minutes. Please." Then I start sleeping. But she didn't leave me.

"Wake up Nia wake up." She shouted again.

Then I get annoyed. And l wake up and sit on the bed.

"Fine." I said in an annoyed voice.

"Good girl. Get ready fast." She said,

Then I wake up and start to get ready. After getting ready I went downstairs and saw Lia was waiting for me. She gets ready really fast. She already asked for permission. So I go then we say bye to our parents. Then we left.

Now we are sitting on the bus. After a few stops.

"We have to get down at the next stop." she said.

"Why?" I asked.

"That's where he gets on the bus." She said,

Then I realised that in that stop only Harry also got on. It's where his house is also.

"Lia there was Harry's House also." I told her.

"Really! Our men are from the same place." She said excitedly.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" I scolded her.

She giggled and the stop arrived. We got off the bus. Then we slowly started walking through the road. There is only one way. She started to look into all the houses.

"Lia. What are you doing?" I was ashamed because some of them looked at us weirdly.

"Stop it Lia." She checked without hearing me.

*Harry's Pov*

I finished my breakfast and sat on the couch and watched TV. Because I have nothing to do. Then he called me.

"Harry! Harry!". My mom called me.

"Yeah mom." I shouted as she could hear me.

"Hey look at this girl, she looked the same as the girl who played the guitar."

"What?" I asked her without moving from the place where I sit.

"Yeah, I too think that's her." My dad also said.

Then I stand and go to them. They are standing outside the house.

"What are you guys saying? I don't understand. What girl? What guitar?" I am confused.

"That day you showed us a video of a girl playing a guitar." Then I realised. They are talking about Nia.

"Aaa that's Nia. What about her?" I asked them.

"Look at her, she looks like her right?"

I saw 2 girls. I only saw one girl's face. She has little features of Nia. But that's not her. The other girl was controlling the other. The girl in the lavender colour shirt fork tries to control the girl in the green shirt. They look like sisters.

"Yeah mom she looks like her but. That's not her." I told her.

"Are you sure?" My dad asked.

"Yeah dad, that's not her. And the act is so weird she is not like that." I said confidently.

"Are you talking about the girl in the green shirt? Mom asked me.

"Yes!"

"Actually we are talking about the girl in the lavender dress." Mom said.

"Lavender dress."

Then I looked at the lavender dress girl. I didn't see her face clearly. Then she turned a little and now I can see her face. Yes. That's her. Nia. She looked pretty in this dress. I am standing there shocked. Then dad shakes me and makes me come to reality.

"That's her. Nia." I said.

My parents get more excited than me.

"Call her!" They encourage me.

"Nia…." I called her louder from the lungs.

She turned and looked at me. And start waving at me. I got butterflies.

"Hey, go and bring her home. I will prepare something for her." Mom and dad went inside.

*Nia Pov*

This girl makes me embarrassed. She is acting so weirdly. I try to stop her but she is not hearing me. Aa this is crazy.

Then I heard someone calling me.

"Nia…."

My sister and I turned back to see who that was. It's a familiar voice.

I see Harry is waving his hand. I waved back at him. There is a woman and man standing near him. Probably that may be his parents. Then he came towards me.

"Hi Nia." He greets me.

"Hi Harry." I greeted him.

"What are you doing here?" He asked me. I don't know what to say. Because I can't say I came to search for a man.

"I came with my sister. She is my sister. Lia" I somehow managed.

"Oh! She is your sister. Hii." He greeted her.

"Hi Harry. How are you?" She asked him like she knew him.

"Hi. How do you know my name?" He asked her confusingly.

"Oh Nia told you about me. And now she says your name then I knew your Harry." She said,

"Ohh… What did he tell me? Is something good for me or…?" He said and looked at me sweetly.

"Yeah. You're her only true friend in her school. And you saved her from her bullies. And all."

"Ohh.." He smiled. He looked so cute.

"Thank you for helping my little sister."

I stand there awkwardly. She is so cringey. I smiled at him. He was looking at me. And he stops looking at me when I look at him.

"Okay. Why are you guys here?" He asked again.

"Umm…" I looked at Lia. I thought she would help me. But she didn't.

"We are looking for someone we know." I said.

"Who is that?" He asked.

"Oh that…" Lia cut me.

"Actually….." She started to say everything. I looked at him. He was hearing everything. I am looking at him without blinking. He looks handsome. Then I shift my gaze.

"Oh I don't know many people here. Because I am new here. But my cousin may know him. He was staying for a long time. He might help you guys. Do you know his name?" He is into this now.

"No." She was disappointed.

"Do you have any pictures of him?" He asked her.

"Yes." She started searching for the picture in her mobile.

"You even have his picture. Why didn't you show me before?" I asked.

"You didn't ask." I laughed in disbelief.

Harry smiled at me.

She showed a picture. He looks handsome.

"He looks handsome." I said. He looked at me.

"Thank you." She said shyly.

"I said he was handsome. Okay." I said sassily. He giggled.

"Actually. He is my cousin I am talking about." He said after I finished.

"What?" We asked in unison. I didn't expect this.

"Yes." He said.

"Will you take me to him? I wanna see him. Please." Lia asked him.

"I will but now there is no one home because they went to their hometown." He said.

"Look, I told he will be fine. You're always overthinking." I scolded her again. She nodded.

"Does he have a girlfriend?" She asked worriedly.

"No." He said confidently.

"Are you sure?" She asked him.

"Yes. We are more like brothers, we share everything." He said. Now Lia was relieved.

"What's his name?" She asked shyly. I laugh at her.

"Ryan."

"What a nice name?" She was blushing now.

"I don't think so." I said to her, She glared at me. I glared at her. Harry laughed at our stupidness.

"He told me that he will come today but he hasn't come yet." He said.

"Ohh." She nodded.

"It's ok. I will see him on Monday. Thank you Harry. Thank you so much for helping me." She thanked him.

"It's fine." He smiled at her.

"Okay then. Shall we leave now?" I asked her, she nodded.

"No, come to my home. I will introduce you to my parents." He said.

"It's okay Harry. I will come next." I hesitate.

"No. You have to come." Then he grabbed my hand. "Lia you to come inside." Now I can feel the whole zoo inside my stomach.

We reached the door and opened the door.

"Mom, dad. Where are you?" They come and excitedly welcome us inside.

"This is…" Harry started to introduce me but he cut him and said "Nia. Welcome."

"Oh Hello uncle. Nice to meet you. How do you know my name?" I asked him confusingly.

"Oh dear. He showed us your video." He said.

"Video?" I looked at Harry.

"The video that you are playing a guitar dear." His mom said.

"Oh that video. Okay." I smiled at them.

"And this is…" His dad asked by pointing at my sister.

"Oh, I am her sister Lia. Nice to meet you Uncle and Aunt." She greeted them.

"Oh Nia Lia, nice name actually." We smiled at each other.

Then his mom served us juice and some snacks. He sat opposite of me. He looked at me now and then. We chatted a little with them.

"Okay then, we are leaving Aunty." Lia said. I nodded.

"No sit for lunch, we can eat together. Ryan, his cousin, will also come." His dad told us.

"But uncle…" I tried to speak but then Lia cut me and said.

"Okay aunty we will stay." Lia said. She is unbelievable.

His dad patted my head and walked away. Then Lia went to help his mom. I tried to go but his mom said to give company for Harry. We are sitting on the couch.

"Come let's go to my room ." He said. Then I followed him.

His room looks really nice. It's so neat and clean. Not like other boys. Have some of the singer's posters on the wall. The study table was cleaned and arranged the books neatly. I was looking around him then I realised he was staring at me. I go near him.

"What are you looking at?" I asked him.

"You look pretty in this dress." He is still staring at me.

"Thanks." I said shyly.

I sit near him on his bed. He slowly comes near me and tugs a strand of hair behind my ears. My heart beats so fast. He didn't do anything but why heart was beating so fast. I just look at him and smile.

"Don't smile!"

"What?" I stop smiling.

"Because you're so pretty when you smile." I started laughing. And I saw him. He was not joking, he was damn serious. He looks deep inside my eyes and I look into his eyes. He slowly came near me. look at my lips and then my eyes. God. Is he going to kiss me? I didn't move or do anything. He came even closer and closer.
