Destiny Call
Going to university is hell hectic and when I say the word hectic I mean it! Sleeping in the morning hours and having 3- 6 hours of sleep was something pretty much common. Assignments, assignments and assignments is the only word you can hear! Yet the fun part is meeting new friends, starting a new page of your life and yet feeling thrilled not knowing what can wait you at the other side, still the joy of being at least ‘free’ is awesome. So here’s my story:
“(y/n)! Wake up its seven thirty already!”
“mmmhhhmm”
I hid my head under my pillow, not willing to get up! Come on I slept at 03:30 am! Still gotta wake up, I kicked the comforter off me, I got down the bed and advanced towards the wash room while stifling a yawn. And within 30 minutes I was done, unluckily I had to be at uni at 08:30 am and I’m still at home! Awesome! I got dressed, took my laptop bag, mobile, wallet, car keys and rushed outside.
“Shit! Shit! Shit! I’m late! And on top of that I’ve got a group meeting!”
I rapidly started the car, reversed it and drove towards the high way! And as shitty as it may seem the traffic on week days are horrible, the most frustrating thing ever! I waited for the signal to be green so I could move and it did, I pressed on the accelerator to move towards the one way diversion when BAAAM! Out of nowhere a huge vehicle collided with my car! What! What the hell! I got down saw my car‘s piteous state and got frustrated. I rapidly advanced towards the huge vehicle! Ha! A Range Rover! Wealthy idiot! And he’s ain't even getting down! I looked at the person in the other car he had his shades on and not moving! Man! If he’s not getting down! I'm so going to get you! I tapped the driver’s seat window, while talking in an irritated tone
“Will you get down please? Or you’re too conceited to come out as you’re afraid the sun will burn you to ashes!”
No reaction! Huh! I waited impatiently outside and after a few minutes, the person came out! That nerve of a man! Though he was well dressed in his dark grey skinny jeans, baby blue shirt and a long coat, with boots on his feet! No I won’t be affected no matter how good he’s looking!
“Hey you! The signal was red at your side! Didn't you see! Or you’re blinded with these huge shades on your face! And don't you know you should give priority to others! Or even when the signal is red you stop and let other vehicles pass! Do you even have a license idiot!”
After a few moments of silence, he decided to speak, he removed his shades from his face and I got the shock of my life, it’s Harry Styles! Ugh! No concentrate (y/n)! Harry or not! He collided with my car and the hood is smashed! He’s gonna pay for it! He looked at me and said
“Look I’m sorry! I was in a hurry ---”
“Everybody is in a hurry in the morning Mr! But that’s not an excuse for you to break the signal!”
“I know I’m sorry”
He advanced towards me and spoke
“Look I’ll pay for the damages and then matter closed!”
I looked at my car and sighed! This would take at least 2- 3 weeks to be repaired! Hell no! All this time, I’ll have to travel by bus! No way!
“No! I’m sorry! But I can’t let you go like this!”
He looked at me and said
“So what do you want me to do? Look I’m sorry! I was in a hurry and thought I’ll easily skip you and go! But we collided! Not my fault! Like I said I’m paying for the damages!”
“Huh! Not your fault! Are you nuts? What if it was more severe than this! What if you or I would have been hurt?”
He looked at my car and snickered and said in a mocking tone
“Well comparing your car to mine I’m 100 % sure you would have been hurt! Your car is so fragile compared to my rover! Look there’s not even a scratch on mine while yours your hood is smashed! Hey! Wait up! I got a joke! Knock knock! Who’s there? A car! Who‘s car? A girl‘s smashed car!”
And he laughed, I wrinkled my eyes brows at his humorless joke, I took a deep breath and said
“You think this is funny! Making tasteless knock knock jokes! Are you serious? You’re gonna pay for this! Don’t make me angrier than I am!”
He looked at me seriously while frowning and said
“Yea no problem I will pay for it”
It was my turn to snicker!
“Yes you’ll pay for it! BUT! On top of paying for the damage fees! You are gonna drop and pick me up to uni everyday! In other words you’ll be my driver! Until my car is repaired! Without any exception alright! And if you oppose I’m dragging you to the police station! Choice is yours!”
“What! No! Hey I have other preoccupations! I can’t drop you or pick you up every single day! That’s unimaginable! Come on be practical!”
“I’m being practical! You collided with my frigging car! A car I use every single damn day! Now take responsibility! Or else let’s go to the police station!”
He widened his eyes and said
“Well there’s something called public transport you know! There’re buses, cabs, metros and trains! Take what is the easiest for you!”
“No! You’re dropping me to uni that’s it!”
He huffed and nodded reluctantly! I rapidly ran towards my car, took my things and then rushed to his rover and hopped in the passenger seat and called out!
“Call a car tower for my car and get in here I’m getting late to uni!”
He sighed and did exactly what I said, he went in my car and put it in the corner, and ran a little to his car, sat down and started the engine, he glanced towards me and said
“hey fireball! what’s your name?”
Huh! He called me fireball! I huffed and replied with disinterest
“(y/n)!”
“(y/n) what?”
“tsk! (y/n+surname)!”
He hummed, then took out his phone and called the car tower and said the exact location of my car was and who was the owner, after that he hung up,
“so which uni you go?”
“X university”
He hummed again, then after a few moments of silence he spoke
“don’t you think it’ll be wise of you to take my number to contact me! What if I don’t show up tomorrow to pick you up! I don‘t want someone to curse me to death! ”
“At least for now you said something intelligent! Here gimme that number of yours! And after that you shut it!”
He chuckled and then told me his number, I saved it, then look out of the window, we were in a peaceful silence, when he decided to switch the radio, I sighed but said nothing! After 35 minutes I reached uni, I was 15 minutes late, still I collected my things and before getting down
“Thanks for the lift Mr styles! But remember come to pick me up at 14:30 pm. See you”
He nodded and then I got down and went away, thinking that what a weird thing is this life.

(Afternoon)
After the group meeting and a few classes, I went in the parking, and searched for Harry but he was nowhere to be found! Ugh! Still let me wait for 5 minutes! If he does not come I’ll call mom! I should be considerate maybe he’s working! After 5 minutes, I decided to call mom, she announced she couldn't and whether I could wait for 1 hour! Nope! I can’t! Well (y/n) time to take the bus! I was about to walk out the gates, when a huge car came fast in front of me and then slammed the brakes with a screeching sound, I jumped back freaking out and looked up startled while keeping a hand on my chest to calm my heart erratic beats. It was him! I huffed and went towards the car and opened the passenger’s door and while getting in I slammed it hard, and glared at him
“why are you pushing all my wrong buttons! Are you trying to kill me or something?”
He looked at me and said apologetically
“sorry I was running late, so just rushed here to pick you up and I didn’t see you in front of the gates! But no I’m not trying to kill you. I swear”
He looked traumatized himself, maybe it’s the first time something like that happened to him,
“yea it’s okay. I didn’t see you coming so yea sorry! Don’t look so miserable!”
He nodded and smiled looking somehow relieved, I couldn’t help but smile back, then he reversed the car, and I gave him the direction to my house. Finally we reached, I got down and said
“Thanks for the lift Mr Styles”
“hey don’t be so formal! (y/n)! Call me harry! And hopefully we’ll get to know each other within these 2 weeks.”
“umm okay harry. See you tomorrow”
“yea see you”
While I closed the door I heard him mumble ‘fireball’, but I let it go, I smiled to myself and walked towards my house. These 2 weeks would be interesting I got a feeling that it will.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the 1 week and following 4 days Harry came to pick me up and dropped me home, without fail, throughout these days I noticed how it feels great to be in his company, he’s a lively guy, loves to smile, but doesn’t talk too much, he loves to do knock knock jokes and weird antics yet he’s cute. He even accompanied me to see whether my car was being repaired or not. Though I’m happy that I’m the girl who gets to spend her days with harry, while the others are craving for his company, I shook my head and smiled, it would be an understatement to say that I didn’t fall for him. But loving him would be like chasing the clouds, and this part makes me anxious. I was about to go to take a shower when I received a notification on my mobile, I opened it and saw a message,
‘hey (y/n) no classes 2day! Luckily I came early, baldy is ill so u catch ya sleep! see ya later! ;)’
Oh well today was the last day that I get to see harry but I guess I won’t see him. I sighed and went through my contact list and called him, after a few beeps he answered
“Hey fireball you alright?”
I sighed and said
“hello to you too harry. I’m good. Listen my classes are cancelled for today so ermh no need to come from now on. Thanks for everything up till now. Even though you were busy with your work you picked me up and dropped me home without any complaints. Thanks a lot, and all the best with your work”
I waited for him to respond, but there was no answer,
“harry? You here?”
“huh? Ehh yea yea I am. Yea it’s okay no problem! Well see you. Bye take care”
“bye harry take care”
See you! No seriously! We ain't meeting any time soon! I sighed, and kept my mobile aside, while plopping down on my bed while pulling the comforter over me ready to fall in a deep slumber yet again, even if we’re in the middle of the day.
*DING DONG *
I groaned, at the doorbell sound but still didn't wake up! Maybe it’s those sales representatives trying to sell their products. I put the pillow over my head and was about to fall asleep again, when again the doorbell rang persistently! Now the world war 3 is about to start! Brace yourself for a speech whoever you are! I kicked my warm comforter and ran downstairs and opened the door, and I was flabbergasted
“Jesus! Finally you came! I thought you went somewhere else! Didn’t you hear your mobile ringing!”
I was in trance! Why is harry here? I called him right, but I was brought of my reverie when he snapped his finger in front of me,
“huh! Oh naaa. Sorry was dozing off”
He nodded and smiled sweetly, I raised my eyebrows and said in an unsure tone
“yea it’s good you’re smiling and all! You rang the bell, I came down too! Now tell me why are you here? I did tell you I’ve no classes today right?”
He hummed and seemed thoughtful, and out of nowhere he grabbed my right hand and pulled me towards him, and from behind, he closed the door.
“Harry! Wait hold on! Where are you dragging me like this?”
“wait and watch”
He opened the passenger, urging me to sit down quickly, which I did, then he also got in, started the car and began to drive,
“can you please tell me where you ‘re taking me! You just abducted me from my house and didn’t let me lock the damn door! Please do kill the suspense Sherlock!”
“sorry! Well you’ll see calm down your bum for now fireball”
I sighed and looked at my clothes, sweatpants, an oversize t-shirt, and the cherry on the top I’ve got fluffy bunnies slippers on my feet, oh my goodness! Hope we don’t go in a public place. I looked at the scenery outside, and immediately understood we are going outside the city! At least I’m assured! After 30 minutes, we reached at the beach! My mouth formed a big ‘o’, I glanced towards him still unsure of why are we here. I cautiously talked
“why are we here?”
“come down and let’s walk a bit! Will ya. Come on lazy bum quickly! You spent the whole day sleeping!”
I got down, but then remembered my slippers, I got embarrassed,
“hey let’s get going! What happen?”
“well erhm yea! Did you look at my state! I don’t think I would wanna walk around like this!”
He scanned me and shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly,
“you’re fine! What’s wrong?”
“you’re definition of fine is weird! I’ve got fluffy bunnies on my feet if ya noticed!”
He chuckled, and asked me to remove them and let them in his car, and walk bare feet, I sighed and did so, we both started to walk down the beach side by side, when he cleared his throat, I turned my full attention to him
“so (y/n), if I tell you something will you please listen to me and then give your answer”
He looked fidgety, still I nodded, he clasped his hands together, took a deep breath and spoke in a flash
“Ilikeyou!”
“huh? Are you sure you spoke English? Can you repeat what cha said?”
He took a deep breath and then said more calmly
“I erm started to like you”
“you what? You like me?”
He nodded, I felt my heart beats increasing it’s tempo, and felt my cheeks getting warm.
“you sure?”
He widened his eyes, and nodded again,
“why?”
We both stopped walking, he turned and looked at me
“what why! Do I need a reason to like someone?”
I shook my head in no, he caught hold of hand and said in a deep voice
“your answer? Do you like me?”
I knew that I wouldn’t be able to speak, so I squeezed his hand lightly and nodded in a yes. He flashed a smile at me and then he hugged me tight, I was surprised but hugged him back. After a few minutes I broke the hug and whispered
“why me?”
“because you’re a fireball! You just flared up on that day of the accident, you ignored who I was, made me your driver and you were daring and I liked that about you. So I fell for you.”
“what a weird reason to fall for someone!”
“but I did! didn’t I? Now that we are together let’s make the most of out it! What say?”
“even if I nag you, act like a fireball and be clingy! You still sure you wanna do it?”
He smiled and took my hand and entwined our hands,
“yes I ready for everything!”
We both shared a smile and continued to walk hand in hands on the beach. Indeed destiny is something which is very unpredictable, you meet someone either they stay or leave by leaving an imprint. But for now I’m lucky I got this someone which destiny made me have. He’s indeed my Destiny Call.
The End.
