One Shots Collection By Samayra Akhtar

Ayra is busy in her mobile phone and the music player is on. It's playing Emcee Hasnain's 'Yeh Mera Tareeqa'

[ Yeh mera tareeqa jeene ka

Jo Maine sikha

Waqt aaya tha jo pheeka

Chhoda saath sab ne kheecha

Yeh mera tareeqa jeene ka

Jo maine sikha

Waqt aaya tha jo pheeka

Aankhein khol maine dekha

Yeh mera tareeqa

Dekho likha maine dekha jo

Yeh mera tareeqa

Badla waqt aaya pheeka jo

Yeh mera tareeqa jeene ka

Jo maine sikha

Waqt aaya tha jo pheeka

Aankhein khol maine dekha ]

Ayra's sister interrupts her.

"Stop it Ayra! Don't you get bored of these songs? You listen these songs almost everyday."

"Yaah!! What do you mean by 'Almost'? I listen it EVERY DAY, okay? He is my favorite rapper. And if you are bored then get lost. Do Not Disturb Me."

Emcee Hasnain is Ayra's favorite artist, favorite rapper. She listens him daily without getting bored.

New song 'Tum Hi Ho' starts playing and Ayra busy herself again in her mobile phone.

[ Tujh mein basi Saansein meri

Tu hi to Ibaadat meri

Har Dua mein maanga tujhe

Kuch aesi Kahaani meri ]

"She is crazy." Ayra's sister mumbles and turns off the music.

"How dare you turn off the music. It's my favourite song."

She looks at Ayra and said, "His every song is your favorite."

"Heheheh. So let me listen." Ayra says childishly and turns on the music again.

[ Bin tere ab jeena.. hai gawara nahi

Tujh se shuru aur khatam... mera wajood kahin

Agar ho gaya juda... tujh se humnava

....... ]

"Ayra you haven't had dinner yet. It's half past ten already."

"I will have it in some time."

[Kuch haan iss tarah

Hai Tera mera rishta

Ke aansu....]

Annoyed Ayra's sister Zoya turns off the music again and Ayra gets pissed off.

"You stop messing with me now. Don't you dare to turn it off again."

"What are you doing? You have your exam tomorrow. Just eat and sleep."

"Stop nagging sissy. Let me finish this and don't turn off the music now. I have to complete this before midnight."

"What's at midnight?"

"Sissy!! It's gonna be 16th December. It's my Emcee Hasnain's Birthday!" Ayra exclaims in excitement.

"Huh! Why are You so excited. It's not like he's gonna celebrate it with you."

"Shut up! I just wanna wish him. That's it."

"He don't even know you."

"So what if he doesn't know me? He knows my existence. He knows that I like him, that I am his fan. He even shared my post on Instagram and he likes my post of him. Isn't it enough? And sissy he is a star. And stars are meant to be observed from far. They are not meant to be touched. Okay?

"You are saying like he is some Superstar.Hmph!"

"OH SHIT!! You have turned green." Ayra mocked her sister who was getting jealous.

"Get lost!"

"Hahahahah. This is my room you go. Shoo Shoo!! Let me concentrate."

"You would have topped the university if you concentrated so much in studies."

"Being a topper is troublesome and it doesn't give happiness. But this gives."

She the again started working on her phone. She was making a greeting card to send it to his favorite rapper. She was fangirling.

After some time she said to her sister who was sitting with a fashion magazine.

"I am done with this one. Have a look."

Ayra then passed her cell phone to her sister to show her creativity. She isn't a pro but she likes doing this.

"Hmm.... not bad."

"Com'on it won't cost you anything to appreciate my work. Forget it I just hope that he likes it."

Zoya then sajd, "'In soft gleaming of stars. May all your dreams come true, may every star of every night bring love and joy to you.' This is the best part."

"You are so mean. You know I am not good with poetry so I have borrowed it from someone else and you liked that part only."

Her sister started looking at the magazine again.

Ayra's lips curves into a wicked smile. She thinks of getting back at her sister for the annoyance before.

"At least I am blessed to be noticed by my favorite artist unlike someone."

Ayra's sister was a smart cookie as well and hence tried to shoo her away.

"Ayra Stop it and do your work."

"Okay Okay. Don't get pissed off but it's a truth. Your favorite hadn't notice you yet. He doesn't even reply to his fans. He is so arrogant."

Zoya wanted to argue back but she knows that she can't win against her sister, especially in this topic. Because indeed there was a difference in both of their favorites. Her favorite was also good but he doesn't interact much with his fans. Whereas when it comes to her sister's favorite..... He actively interacts with his fans.

"Sissy why don't you try something like this for his Birthday." Ayra gives advice to her sister.

Zoya doesn't like the idea.

"Keep yourself busy with your Emcee Hasnain."

"I am doing. It's almost done."

"What are you doing? Photo Collage?"

"Yep. I planned something else too but this examination, sigh, it ruined my plans. Next time I'll do something in advance."

"You can't. You are too lazy for that."

"Heheheh. You have got a point. I'll post it on my Instagram account as well."

"You are a crazy fangirl with so many favorites."

"Sissy..... you won't understand about fangirling. You are old and boring."
