Evening

As per our daily routine I was sitting with Zarnish on the same cliff witnessing the phenomenal view of sun setting. The cold wind gushed passed our body, the leaves of the tree walloped togather producing howling sound. The silence was drowned around as usual. I even enjoy her silence, her presence only matters to me.

She was staring the sky ahead looking lost, her hijab was whipping as the wind passed through it. I wondered how her hair looks. I had sudden urge to see them but I suppressed my stupid desire. I kept stealing glances of her innocent face, I knew she must have noticed me but she's not fighting, where she's lost? Anyways I was having my chance to stare her for long.

"You have a family?" Her question took me off guard for few minutes.

"Why?" I questioned back.

"I have heard that you have no one", she turned her face to look in my eyes, her black orbs were blank like a sky at night without stars.

"You have heard right", I mumbled back and swivelled my head away from her, I felt her soft gaze.

"Why are you like this?" Her next question blew my mind off.

"Why?" I again questioned her.

"Why you pretend to be the boss always, don't you like people ruling over you? that's why you rule over them", She continued to speak, her voice fading in the loud wind passing through our bodies. She was sitting at quite a distance from me but I could feel her nearness as if she's trying to barge in through the boundaries I have created around me.

"What if I say yes?"

She let out a humourless laugh on my response. I didn't know why but I didn't like that.

"So you think if you rule other's then they'll be happy", I noted sarcasm in her tone, it didn't please me.

"Why suddenly talking about me?" I tired to change the topic.

She turned away her head looking straight again.

"You know, when I was little they left me, I loved them with all my heart but still they left me, why? I don't know. I miss them badly but sometime I feel like whatever fate has decided for me is right. Till 11 I was one hell shy girl, I was one scared soul, I was only bold around them, I only used to smile to them, I only used to laugh with them. People used to call me rude maybe because I never smiled to them or never talked to them. Every night Mama used to taught me to live my life smiling, be good to everyone irrespective of the cast, race or religion. Everyone deserves independence, no one is bound under other's rule so I should never be scared of anyone, that's why I didn't backed off on seeing the great BIG BOSS that day", she laughed a little, it made me smile.

Why she's telling me anything? Does she trusts me enough?

"That day was hell for me, I couldn't believe that they left me, why I didn't go with them that day? Why I didn't die with them? Maybe because ALLAH wanted me to do something for this world, to do for the poor souls on this earth though I'm also one poor soul but the great ALMIGHTY has given me chance to make other feel good, make them smile, and I'm blessed to do this job", she passed a genuine smile in my way, my heart missed a beat. She looked gorgeous.

"Something must have happened to you that's why you try to be bossy around everyone, isn't it?", she narrowed her eyes, I followed her action. Her words sometime amuses me, I felt as if she knew everything, but why she's talking that way? I was confused.

"Tigress?" I called her out, she was again lost in her thoughts.

"Hmm? wait what, tigress? Like really? Mr. Big boss stop calling me that", she passed a glare to me but she even looked cute in that. I automatically smiled.

"Hahahaha, I'm gonna call you that, whatever you say", I straightened my posture and crossed my legs just like her.

"Huhhh!! being bossy again", her words made me roll my eyes, whenever she says this, I sometime hate myself for being one boss.

"Whatever, well I was saying, basically asking what do you think might have happened to me?" I questioned looking at he side profile, trust me she's side profile slayer.

"Something like, where you were ruled over by others that didn't please you, they must have tortured you to an extend where you could no longer take it, after that a new Mohaib came out, the big boss", she opened all the locks I created with just her mere thoughts. I couldn't believe whatever she uttered was somehow true. Well my name sounded more good when it rolled out of her mouth.

"Wahh tigress, you can be one good physiatrist, you can judge people by their action in such good manner", I mocked her, in return she giggled, uh! that was the scene to witness.

"It's means I'm saying right", I found pity in her eyes.

"Don't pity me", I turned my head away, I never liked when people show their sympathy to me and when Zarnish did, it made me feel worst.

"I didn't mean it that way", she suddenly spoke with an apologizing tone.

"Hmm", I hummed back in return still not looking in her eyes. I could feel her gaze, after a while she averted it.

We stayed there for a little long time, quiet in peace, I kept recalling the day when they left, just like Zarnish I lost my family but it wasn't the accident, it was murder, a bloody murder, my blood always boils whenever the scene crosses my mind. We sat for some time before retreating back. Though I didn't want to go but I had to.

Afternoon.

Today was the last day of volunteering program, many preparations had to be done, this year we decided to treat all the volunteers with lunch. I prepared it along with Aunty and some other chefs she hired. Well I was making the chocolate muffins on the demand of my cute little angels here.

Right now I was only in the kitchen as other chefs and aunty were enriching the table with food. I was late, well it's fine, everyone would eat muffins after lunch so yeah I could prepare it in the mean time.

I was looking like fool at the moment, literally if you would have witnessed me like that you would have let out many loud laughs until I would flushed into deep embarrassment. My dress and hijab was all drained in flour, I guess face with many stains of chocolate. Well this always happens whenever I bake, I was a complete mess at the moment. I wish no one would see me that way, especially big boss otherwise he would mock me to an extend that I would want to break his teeth.

"Where's that bowl?" I was searching the bowl to pour the batter in it but against my luck I couldn't fine that.

"Ugghhh", I did groaned loud when it hit my mind that I had put it on the highest shelf the other day when I was cleaning the kitchen.

"Now where's the stool?" I luckily spotted it at the far end of the kitchen.

Standing on the stool didn't help me out so much, I'm only 5'4 sadly, why I'm so short. Well I did put quite much effort, I was tiptoed on the stool, my hands did reached the bowl, wow, I won. I grabbed it and put my whole foot sole on the stool but little did I knew that I was standing on the edge of that, I couldn't support myself and stumbled backward, a loud shriek left my mouth but wait! what just happened, why I didn't hug the ground with open arms. My eyes were squeezed tightly, heart was beating wildly against my chest, some sweat beads covered my forehead I guess, I felt two strong hands around my body, I opened my one eye and then both widened on seeing already smirking big boss. I was again in his arms, ASTAGFIRULLAH, I flinched in his arms, he was scooping me bridal style. I flinched harder and he put me down slowly. I saw him laughing lightly and then loud laughs came out of his mouth. I wanted that ground to open up and swallow me at that moment. Please. I was a complete mess and here he came to save me from falling, I must have been looking fool.

Aunty came rushing in the kitchen, she was panting hard.

"Ohh Zarnish, what happened my child, you OK?" She took my face in her hands looking really worried. That big boss was trying to control his laughter, his lips were in thin lines. I so wanted to punch his face.

"Aunty I'm fine", I assured her, taking her hands in mine.

"But why you screamed out loud?" I could still detect the worry lacing in her tone.

"Because your genius Zarnish was falling off the stool and I caught her otherwise she would have been stuck in the bandages by now wincing in pain, owww", he mocked me, how dare he?

I passed a glare to him, a really hard one but in return he only smirked.

"Ohh thankyou beta and Zarnish, you should be more careful", she tapped my head lightly. I nodded back with a small smile.

"If you're done with muffins then the lunch is ready, come we'll eat it together", she said and my eyes widened.

"Opsss! no no, I'm not done, I haven't done anything yet, I'm so sorry, please give me some more time, I'll finish it", I mumbled and ran towards the counter to grab the bowl.

"It's fine, make it later, first come and eat", aunty insisted.

"No its OK, you all go on, I'll eat later", I ducked my head down as I could feel his stare and I didn't feel like eating right now.

"You're eating with us and that's final", his demanding voice I heard, it reflected authority. I glared at him but he glared back hard, the sharp icy one. I shrugged under his cold stare.

"No, aunty please, you know na I don't eat when I don't want to, and I'm not hungry at all. Please you go eat. Please", I gave her one puppy eyes.

"Fine, I can't push this stubborn girl", she smiled lightly and walked out while shaking her head a little. I sighed.

"Just come and eat", his tone was cite, cold one.

"Stop being bossy around me", I gestured him with a hand to stop but in blink of an eye he was towering my figure with his hulk one. My breath hitched on this sudden nearness.

"Stop being stubborn and don't talk back", his stern tone sent shiver down my spine. I was staring back in those icy blue eyes, they were cold, when I say cold I meant Antarctica cold.

"I'm telling you for the last time, just come and eat", he whispered in hard- core tone.

No Zarnish you just couldn't become a cat in front of him, you ain't scared of the big boss.

"No!!", I spoke hardly and turned away before he noticed my shivering.

He grabbed my hand and made me face him, not only face he jerked my body towards him, I collided in his hard torso hitting my head in it.

"Owww", my head hurt.

"Opsss, sorry", he suddenly apologized holding my face in his hands.

I backed of rubbing my head.

"Go away, stupid", I mumbled and walked away from him towards the refrigerator to fetched out some stuffs needed, I tried my best to ignore him.

I felt his burning gaze on my back.

"I'll soon teach you how to take care of yourself, very soon", he mumbled and walked out of the kitchen with hands in his pants pockets.

What did he mean by that? Why he said that? How dare he just boss me around? Ugghhh stupid man he's.

But what he meant by the last sentence?
