Afternoon.

That stupid boy still didn't stop his budging, he's teasing me, check his guts, he's braver than Zarnish.

"But big boss that girl is the same who messed with you in public then why her?" Fakhir asked while putting a spoon in his mouth.

"Because of that", I smirked recalling her angry cute face.

What was she?

"Oooo...look look, lover boy", he nudged his elbows in my ribs.

"Ahhh", it hurt man.

"So-sorry", he ran, no he couldn't run away from me, no one could.

"You stupid boy", I rushed behind him, chasing him in the entire mansion when at last he ran into his room and locked it, I was panting hard leaning to his room door. Yes we live together.

"You have to pay for this", I laughed a little and walked back into my room still failing at keeping the girl out of my mind.

Now we would meet often MY TIGRESS.

I was adoring those cute little babies munching the pancakes I cooked, they kept complimenting me with every bite they took. They're full of life, I love them.

"Zarnish", I heard aunty Parveen calling me out.

"Yes aunty", I entered her office, yes she had a homemade office.

"Zarnish my child, from tomorrow the volunteering program is starting here, this is the list of volunteers, they'll come from tomorrow morning, my child your burden will amplify a little", she tapped my hand gently.

"Ohhh come on, aunty, you know how much I love to do such works, well it's a moment of pride for me to be the head volunteer", I raised my collar and aunty laughed. I wanted to make her laugh and smile often. I smiled back to her.

"So tomorrow morning 9 am", she again said.

"Okay boss", I saluted her, receiving another chuckle from her. Her laugh was soothing.

"Okay now I'll see all the preparations, you go rest", I asked her to stand off the chair.

"No no! how can you do everything alone?" She protested.

"Aunty please, you already look worn out, get some rest, come on please for me", I gave her my best puppy eyes, she lightly tapped my cheek and stood.

"This stubborn girl, always thinking and caring for others", she pinched my cheek.

I was ready to lead the volunteering program, well I had already volunteered many times but it's my first time as head and I was excited.

I adjusted my hijab around my head, giving one last glance to my appearance, I wore a shirt reaching my mid things with jeans folded at the end, I always wear such dress, they're comfy. I folded my sleeves when a sudden pain erupted in my head, it's intense this time, I couldn't see anything, my vision blurred, I grabbed the nearest support and sat on the ground slowly with my head in my hands, the same pain had came back after a good long time, why? Ohh ALLAH I was scared.

After a while my vision cleared, I gulped in my medicines and sat on the bed for some rest. It's about to be 9 and no I couldn't miss my opportunity to lead the program, I couldn't let more burdens on aunt's shoulder, she trusted me, I couldn't break the trust. Mumbling some QURANIC supplications I walked down the stairs to find a huge group of volunteers of many ages. Wow, I felt excited and nervous at the same time. My heart was beating wildly but deep breaths worked a little. Now the pain had suppressed to a greater extend.

"Hello people, welcome to the 'Parveen volunteering program' ",I announced grabbing everyone's attentions. They all were now attended towards me, I saw aunty and she gave me thumbs up, I smiled to her.

"Well let's go to the lawn, your duties will be designated there to you", I led them to the huge backyard, oh man! I cleaned it all yesterday, it was tiring. It was sparkling under the sunlight, I mentally patted my back.

I saw her walking down the stairs, her grace and cuteness were still radiant from her body, she was simple yet beautiful. My heart fluttered.

Wait you all must be thinking how I was here in this program, well I planned to change my appearance, I disguised my self as one innocent boy dressed in loose pants reaching above my waist, hair plastered on both sides with oil, this oil smell was fucking killing me and heavy spectacles on my face, I looked such a nerdy but trust me I was loathing my appearance in my mind though I had done all this just to attend this program and watch my Zarnish for good long time. I was becoming one stupid lover boy, this girl was doing something to me but I was loving it all.

We were now in the lounge and my eyes roamed to find her but couldn't see her anywhere then her melodious voice made contact with my eardrums.

I'm becoming cheesy with time.

"So people kindly make one row, there's the list with the places of your duties and timings, kindly check and then you can off to your destination but before that mark your attendance so that we can easily calculate your working hours", she instructed everyone, she looked excited yet confident, the words became cuter as they slipped out of her mouth.

Ughh.. man I'm acting like a teenage lover boy. Come on Mohaib you're fu****g 30. Do you have to grow up more? My subconscious scolded me like a Mom. Ahh mom, I miss her. Should I really miss her and my family? I shrugged my shoulders and stood in queue, I observed her suspicious glance on me, my heart skipped to my throat, what the f**k, why I was feeling nervous?

I averted my gaze and concentrated on the line ahead me, looked like we're back to elementary school, this was all so weird. Me, a fu****g Mafia boss here standing in this queue waiting for my turn, I don't wait for anyone but here I was, I wondered what else this girl would make me do. I sighed and stepped forward when a small hand blocked my way, I abruptly turned my head to see her, the girl who's the reason for me to stand here, her eyes were narrowed and brows frowned, those black eyes looked suspicious, I gulped in, it was audible, dammit. She kept looking at me with those eyes but man I'm telling you she's was looking so cute, my eyes travelled to those plump lips of hers, I so wanted to capture them- stop Mohaib.

"Move aside we need to talk", her soft voice I heard, I nodded and stepped aside.

She was standing in front of me with hands on her hips, eyes still narrowed, she was scanning my face intently while I was scanning hers, I was again witnessing her angelic features from this near. ALLAH indeed crafted her with great care.

"BIG BOSS", she said after a while with a bitter laugh. Opsss, I was really caught.

I passed her my best sheepish smile, what 'best sheepish smile', like really.

"Woah!! Wait, wait, Mafia boss is giving me that smile, like really?" she smirked, even her smirk was cute.

"So?" I questioned while looking deep in her eyes.

Her brows again frowned.

"Well I'm in doubt, no one recognised me but you, Why?", I teased her but it didn't work, those narrowed eyes were now teasing me. I had to rolled mine.

"Looks like you know me very well or you have done great research on me", I continued my teasing.

"Hahahaha", she laughed out loud, a sarcastic one though but it was funny. My lips automatically formed a happy curve.

"Well I think I should tell the world that big boss is here", she snickered and was about to open her mouth when I grabbed her by waist and clamped her mouth with my big hands, her eyes widened.

I couldn't believe what he just did, his one arm around my waist and with other he covered my whole mouth, how dare he?

Both our lips were at mere distance, the only obstacle was his hand. His icy blue eyes were boring inside mine, they were beautiful yet intimidating. Nose tips brushing. His sudden action took me off guard, I couldn't move from my position, I felt my legs wobbling yet stuck to the ground. Heartbeat accelerating at some weird rythem, knots in my belly gave some weird vibes. We stayed like that for a while until I realized our awkward position, I jumped back from his grip feeling goosebumps all over.

How dare he? My ears and cheeks must be the darker shade of pink by now. He was staring me back shamelessly with a smirk plastered on his handsome face. ASTAGFIRULLAH... what did I just said 'handsome' no no, I mean I'm not interested in such things. I shrugged my shoulders on such thoughts.

"Your oil is smelling bad", the words just left my mouth without myself registering them, the next thing I heard was a loud manly laughter. His perfect white teeth added more beauty to his features, well why should I not compliment him, ALLAH has made him.

"You're so adorable", he pinched my nose.

"Owwww", I rubbed the skin harshly, he pinched hard.. man.

"WTH", I growled on his face but again received another chuckle from him. What's wrong with this man? Why he kept laughing on me?

"Okay stop", now it was too much, his smile instantly fell, a serious expression on his face, basically they weren't serious, they were innocent, I barely suppressed my laughter and turned my head away from him and then it instantly hit my mind.

Was he here to revenge me for that day? Was he really going to punish me? Was he here to kill me? The thoughts gave me chills. I shuddered.

Couldn't she just stop being any cuter? This girl would make me completely crazy for sure.

Now I saw her intently looking at my face, her eyes showed that she's lost in some thoughts. Wait, I guess she must be thinking I was here to revenge her and here it came.

"By any chance, are you here to kill me?" Her adorable accent flipped my heart. My lips were stretched in a smile. I realized I was smiling often these days.

"What do you think?" I copied her style and whispered back, she jumped back and gulped harder looking me back with wide eyes.

I so wanted to laugh at the moment, her adorable expressions were making me lose my control.

"Y-you can't just come and kill me", she stuttered a little. My smile became wider but I showed it as smirk.

"In one condition"

"What?" She asked with a whisper.

"Let me volunteer here, you won't tell anyone who I'm", I dumped hands in my pants pockets and stared back at her face.

"Okay okay", she instantly answered.

"And when duty hours will be over, we'll have a cup of coffee together", I added more spice, her expressions took a big U-turn.

"What? Why?" She again put those little hands of hers around her small waist. Her this gesture always makes her adorable.

"Fine!! where's my gun?" I pretended to look for my gun in my pants.

"Uhh! whatever, it's just a cup of coffee, okay okay fine", she mumbled back many things in return. A smile again formed on my lips.

I have started smiling often, I felt light headed. Ohh! my tigress what are you doing to me?

"Fine go back to your work", she ordered me and walked away with her same grace. I followed my tigress like a lost puppy.

Okay this fu****g Mafia boss was following a girl, come on its a matter of heart.

Evening.

I couldn't believe that I was sitting with this intimidating Mafia boss on the edge of small cliff witnessing the phenomenal view ahead, the black sky wore the blanket of stars with moon among them shining bright like a diamond. It was enticing, such things always steal my heart. How beautiful my LORD has created this world. MASHALLAH.

I felt him stealing glances on me. It felt weird. I knew I shifted about 29th time in my position.

"Why are you so uncomfortable?" He asked with a hint of tease in his tone.

"Would you just stop staring at me?" I snapped back.

"No", his answer was too blunt. Shameless man.

"Then I'm going", I grabbed my empty mug to stand but he hold my wrist making me glued to my position back. What the hell is with his touching. I jerked away my hand from his strong grip.

"Okay I won't", he said and turned his head away from me.

I mentally sighed, a loud one.

"Why are we even sitting here?" The question left my mouth after a while.

"I don't know, but I like it", he winked making the heat reached up my cheeks. I shrugged my shoulders.

I didn't like him.

"Are you trying to be friends with me?" Now my eyes were narrowed.

He again laughed. Ahh weird man, why he laugh for such things.

"What do you think?" He questioned back.

"You know na that I don't like you?" I bluntly asked receiving another chuckle from him. I thought he's crazy for sure.

"I know it very well", he was still smiling like an idiot.

"Then?" I hated for acting curious.

"Then what? I like it so yeah we are sitting here", he shrugged his shoulders and leaned back on the tall tree behind his back, his oily hair were now messy, flipping back and forth with the wind.

"Are you trying to be boss here?"

"What if I say yes?" He again questioned back.

"Then don't you dare", I snapped back at him and turned away my face from him.

I saw a hint of anger covering her face, still she looked adorable.

"You cannot simply rule my life, you're not my guardian or whatever, if people are scared of you they are fool but I'm not so you better stop pretending to rule over me", she said keeping her gaze ahead, I couldn't able to drift my eyes away from her face. Her small nose had a nosepin, that small white Pearl was sparkling under that moonlight adding more beauty to her personality.

"Im not scared of you, always remember, and I'll not let you rule other's people life", she kept speaking, her this bluntness, I liked. She's one sincere woman I could guarantee.

"I don't rule other's life", why she fu****g think this.

"Ohhh come on, I know it very well", she snorted. I didn't like that.

"I'll be going now", I stood up wearing my hoodie, I didn't want anyone else to witness big boss in this avatar.

He stood up, I guess my words didn't please him, but like I cared, note the sarcasm.

"Don't ever judge a book by its cover", his last words blew my mind off for a while as I witnessed his back retreating in the fog of the night.

He was gone leaving me stunned.

Was I really quick at judging?

May be he's right.
