together because of the exceptionally cold weather that seem to grace her today but she smiles looking at the sky because she loves the cold weather more than the hot one whereas everyone else seems to love it.

"You should have worn something better". She heard a familiar voice say

She turns around a smile appearing on her lips, "Sameera, you here?".

He frowns at her name knowing she is not normal he ignores it, "You seem happy".

"How come you are here?". She asked as she passes her restaurant flyers to the people who ignore her not that it's new for her

He sighs holding the flyers from her throwing her his coat and handing the people flyers a little forcefully but it works because he was done with the flyers in few seconds.

She looks at him in awe, "Woah! You are so good at this. Teach me".

He watches her shivering still not wearing his coat and that didn't sit well with him.

"How long do you have to stay here for?". He asked

She looks down at her broken watch which has a crack, "Well, I decided to do two swifts today unless I take another-".

"Don't". He said angrily not wanting her to stand in the same cold again, "Tell the owner you are leaving".

"But I can't". She said, "I need the money and if I do the second shift-".

"You will die". He stated, "It's too cold that they have the children stay at home and close down some other places. How can you stay out so long like this?".

She grins at him, "I am a strong woman".

He sighs, "I know you are. No doubt. Just tell him not today".

She didn't want to do what he said but she finds his eyes alluring casting a spell making her nodding her head which gifted her with a beautiful smile of his on his equally beautiful face.

"Your cheeks are red". He commented, "Come on, tell him quickly so we can leave".

I am sure my cheeks are not red because of cold. She thoughts

She spoke to her owner and he agreed as she takes her bag walking out of the restaurant to find him leaning against the wall waiting for her. She stops for a second looking around to find people whispering about him among themselves especially girl but he didn't cast a single glance to anyone. She has to agree that his presence demands attention in many ways.

"Are you done?". He asked when he finds her walking towards him in slow steps

She nodded grinning brushing her hand on up and down to warm herself.

He steps in front of her from his leaning position placing his coat around her. For some odd reasons he finds himself looking down at her and his breathing hitched. Her brown eyes were looking at him so innocently that he felt like the world had stopped and he had found something so precious in this world that might not even belong to this world in the first place.

Her brown is that shade of brown that haunts him in his dream and every single time he closes his eyes. That shade that he finds rare in the thousands of brown eyes he had seen his life.

His favourite colour at the moment.

"Thank you". She said with a beautiful smile of hers

"Y-You are welcome". He replied taking a step back taking a deep breath

She nodded smiling, "Where are we going?".

"Somewhere". He said hitting his chest to behave

"Are you sick?". She asked when she finds him hitting himself

"What?". He asked opening the door of his BMW converter for her as he runs to his own seat

"You were hitting yourself". She speaks with innocence pouring out of her and she looks at him with pure concern

He laughs, "I was just doing that for no reason".

She frowns confused, "No one does that without reason".

He shakes his head with a smile switching the heater on it's highest speed to warm her quickly even when he feels boiling with that temperature.

"You are right I didn't hit myself without a reason but I can't tell you the reason". He said softly

She nodded, "Understandable".

"It's late why are you out of your house at such hours?". He asked watching the clock saying 2 AM

She shrugged like it's nothing, "Because I have a dream I need to work for. Remember I told you how much I love doctor and how much I admire them?".

He nodded.

How can he forget when he had been replaying every single thing from that day.

"Yes, I remember". He said

That excites her, "Do you know how many people apply for doctorate degree every year?. Approximately 15,000 and only a few of them actually get in. They have so much studies to do in five years and all that cutting people body parts and understanding them. For five long year, they put their blood, sweat and tears in achieving such a big honour of saving lives. Imagine how amazing the feeling must be to know you have revived someone who was dying and someone who someone else was praying to live for. The smile of patients and their respect for them".

He nodded enthusiast listening to her every word when she stops he turns to find her cheek getting red.

"Why did you stop?". He asked confused

"I am sorry I was babbling I have some weird problem of just speaking non-stop and people usually get mad at me for it. I didn't mean to speak so much but I just do it and I-". She started rambling again and someone she feels his hands getting tighter around the steering wheel, "Did I upset you?".

Her voice was so low that if they weren't inside the car he cannot even hear her.

"No, people do". He replied then turn to her smiling at her making her relax, "I like listening to you so don't listen to what people say to you they are just idiots who don't know you".

She grins at him taking his advice immediately, "I don't listen to them much. They sometimes say too many mean things so I don't say anything and just do what I do".

"Smile and move on". He said not really liking that she didn't reply instead does this as her strategy

She nodded somewhat shocked that he knows that, "Yes, I do that. They won't understand so what's the use of using words".

He nodded understanding stopping his car in the drive-through of McDonald's, "True. People are truly useless talking to when they think they are righteous and all others are plain wrong".

She nodded her head enthusiast that he understands her, "Yes, yes. I know I have seen too many people. I used to speak before but it's no use".

He doesn't miss the little hurt he felt in his chest.

"What would you like?". He asked

"Anything which cost less". She replied not sure if she should be using her money at food at the moment

Because of the wedding and buying her friend expensive gift she has used a lot of her saving already.

"I will have two big macs meals". He said making her eyes widen as he was about to protest he shakes his head, "Add two McFlurry I will have one M&M and you?".

"Same". She said softly

He nodded placing their order as he moves the car to the paying area, "I know you can pay, Maria but not with me. Just relax, eat and enjoy".

He passes his golden card to pay the bill moving to the next step to take their food.

"But it's bad if I don't pay you". She said lowly

"Cheer up. I am the one who pulled you away from your extra shift so I should be paying". He argued not wanting her to stress when he pulls her with him to relax

She nodded and takes the bag from him placing them in her lap. She holds the bag of chips in her hands looking at it excitedly as she eats the chips hungrily.

He smiles watching her eats eagerly, "When was the last time you ate?".

"Yesterday". The words leave her mouth before she can stop them

"What?". He asked shocked and worried, "Maria, you-".

"I know. I know. Please don't say". She said sighing looking out of the window still eating the chips

He parks the car on the seaside walking outside and she exits as they lean at the front of the car watching the waves. She passes him his food while she went to get his chips her eyes widen when she didn't find any.

Oh no. What have I done?. Am I the chips monster?.

"Why are you a chips monster?". He asked chuckling

She blushes furiously, "I am so so sorry, Sameer. I didn't mean to eat your chips and I-I just did".

Her voice quietens down at the end of her words and he cannot help but laugh aloud at the way she holds her hand together looking down guilty.

She is cute.

"It's fine. I don't eat chips, chips monster". He said making her blush but laugh

He does like chips. But it doesn't matter.

"Please don't tell me you are going to keep calling me that". She whined eating her burger

"I will. But to stop you from embarrassment I will call you CM. What do you think?". He asked like it's the best suggestion in the world

She huffed, "It's fair since I call you Sameera".

He chuckles lightly.

"Did someone came to your home?". He asked cautiously

She frowns eating her burger, "I am not sure. I didn't went home".

"Oh". He said disappointed, "Are you planning on marrying someone?".

She chokes on her burger, "Why are you asking that?".

He shrugged, "no reason".

She looks at her watch quickly eating the last bite of her burger, "I need to leave now. I have to do a shift in convenient store".

"At this time?". He asked looking at his watch which shows 5 AM

His eyes widened because he had no idea they spent this long together.

"Yes, can you please drop me if you don't mind". She said smiling sweetly

He bites his lips hiding his smile but somehow he didn't want to hold back his smile with her.

"Come on". He said sighing because he doesn't like how she is working to death

She squeals happily running inside the car and he shakes his head following her inside.

"Thank you". She said genuinely once he sits down

He nodded.

They drive silently in their own thoughts as she gives directions every few minutes. He stops the car in a rather darker neighbour and she immediately gets down running inside.

He sits in his car watching the people who look hideous and dangerous at the same time entering and coming outside. He finds her smiling when a bulky man slammed his hand with his things in front of her.

"You have been gone for days". She said softly placing his things in the bag

"Can't you stop smiling?". The man said groaning

"Go on". She said chuckling waving him off

Sameer watched surprise when the man turns around smiling to himself. He remembers Zuhair words about what people think of her maybe they were right. Before he knew it he stayed right outside watching her work when his phone rings.

"Yes?". He said still watching her

"I am going to her house today". Zuhair said excitedly

He slammed his hand on the steering wheel as anger fills him, "We need to talk".

"I was waiting for this, where?". Zuhair asked

*******

"What do you want to talk about?". Zuhair asked raising his eyebrows as he sips his coffee

"Don't send any proposal". He said firm

"Why?". Zuhair asked leaning back in his seat

"Just don't. I don't want you to marry her". He said

"Why not her, Sameer?. I like her and I am capable enough to take care of her and-". Zuhair said

He glares at him, "No, I don't want her to marry you because I want to marry her".

"Are you sure?". Zuhair asked smirking

He nodded, "I am going straight home to speak to my parents to go to her house".

"Ok then". Zuhair said, "Just a reminded don't judge people on other mistakes".

He frowns, "What does that mean?".

Zuhair shrugged walking away.

Sameer immediately went to his car and to his villa. He enters inside to find his parents in the lounge.

"I want to speak to you two about something important". He said sitting in front of them

******

"I cannot believe you went this far". Maria said as she stands beside him on stage dressed as his bride

He admires her as he has been from the moment she walks in and shrugged, "I had to do it".

"You shouldn't have". She said in a low voice

He frowns looking at her when she said the words but she has her usual smile on her face as she greets people.

"You shouldn't have married your precious son to a girl like her". One of the guests said to his mother

His mother frown, "Why?".

"You don't know?". The woman asked shocked

"No". His mother said confused

"Oh God". The woman gasps, "This had to be a fraud".

Everyone looks at them as the woman glared at Maria standing on stage.

"You don't know who she is". The woman asked as she pointed her finger towards Maria, "She is a bastard child. Her father had an affair and had her as a result with another woman. She is nothing but unhallowed".
