I looked into the mirror and started cleaning my dress, I swear, I hate that girl.

"Are you okay?" Naina entered the bathroom panting heavily.

I ignored her completely and splashed water on my face.

"Zaynah..." She placed her hand on my right shoulder and a tear escaped from my eyes.

"Bro," I broke into tears.

"Shhh, don't cry," she wrapped her arms around my body and hugged her.

"Why is she doing..." I sobbed.

"Leave her, let me fix your dress and makeup, " she caressed my cheeks like a big sister and my heart became warm from her gestures.

She started cleaning my dress with tissue paper and then applied some makeup on my face. I looked at my reflection and smiled.

"Thank you so much," my eyes held a lot of emotions and I thanked her heartily.

"It's okay, let's come outside," she intertwined her hand with mine and headed outside.

She's such a sweetheart!

The rest of the party went boring as usual as I wasn't feeling well. Everyone was smiling, laughing, and celebrating the anniversary of Mrs. Umaisha and Mr. Abrar.

After congratulating them, I came back to Zara's room and hopped on the bed.

"You're lying here and I was looking for you in the whole house," Zara entered the room after an hour.

" Yeah I wasn't feeling well," I sighed.

"What happens? You okay?" Her eyes were filled with concern, fake concern! She's behaving like she doesn't know anything!

"You know what Farwa did..." I said frowning.

"Ohh, yeah... But it's okay babe, she didn't do it on purpose,"

What the heck is she talking about? Wasn't she the same Zara who kept telling me that Farwa is a bitch and now she thinks...

"Yeah, it's okay, it's okay that I was looking like a clown and people were staring at me," my voice raised and a tear fell from my eyes.

"Zaynah, you're overthinking, calm down..." She pulled me in a hug.

"Zara...I think...I think, Farwa is stalking me and she wants to harm me... she's sending people after me and she attacked me that day and today in my hostel's washroom I saw blood..."

" Have you gone mad Zaynah?" She parted from me and looked at me with surprise.

" Zara...I don't know why ain't you believing me?" I facepalmed myself and sighed from frustration.

"Because you're talking rubbish, yeah Farwa is a little mean but I know her very well, she can't even think to do all these things," she snapped at me which pissed me off.

" You're not getting me... she's a monster, remember you said the same things about her," I broke into tears.

"Yeah, I don't like her... never liked her, probably cuz I was jealous of her that my family especially my brother and aunty give her so much importance and yeah she's rude and cocky but still, I know her, she... It's impossible Zaynah," she explained in a brief and I held back the urge to roll my eyes at her.

How can you forget, Farwa is a part of their family... she's her cousin and you're nothing!

The only thing I realized that Zara was changing, how can she take Farwa's side?

"Okay," I replied curtly and exited from the room.

*******

I was lost in deep thoughts and my feet were lazily moving towards the IISC. I didn't have any proof against Farwa and I was really scared thinking about her next step.

I snapped back to reality as I saw a black car coming towards me at the full speed. My heart started shaking and my body became numb. I wanted to run but my feet didn't move an inch.

So it was my end!

I closed my eyes and covered my ear with both hands. The car was about to hit me when my body rolled with someone. I didn't even have a chance to think about this. I looked behind, a person in a black hoodie entered the car.

It wasn't an accident, someone wanted to hit me! But who??? It's obviously Farwa!

"Have you lost your mind," a stern voice reached to my ears and I cocked my head in another direction. It was Wajahat who pulled me with him or else I would be dead.

I didn't say anything, fear was growing in my heart and I clutched my heart.

"Are you okay?" He touched my face and bored his eyes into mine. My heart was pounding inside the chest and before thinking anything I wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him. He looked shocked but the next moment he hugged me back. I was hugging him so tightly as my life depends on it. His presence, his touch, his body's warmth were giving comfort, peace to my heart.

He started drawing circles on my back to soothe me and my eyelids got heavy, I was in so much fear that the next second I dozed off in his arms.

*********

I opened my eyes to find myself in a familiar place. My eyes started roaming in the whole room and I realized I was in Zara's room.

But how I'm here?

Oh yeah! I probably blacked out in....his arms! Damn! It sounds so...

"You awake?" Zara hopped near me and places her head on my arm.

" Naah, I'm sleeping with open eyes," I rolled my eyes.

"You okay? What happened today?" She asked solicitously but I didn't wanna tell her anything cuz I knew she won't believe me that someone was trying to hit me with a car.

"I'm starving," I pouted.

"I knew this," she smiled and handed me a large box of pizza.

"Iloveyousomuchhh," I said with a wide grin and focused my eyes on pizza.

" Ain't you gonna share it with me?" Zara asked snatching a slice from my hand.

" Naah bitch, stay away from me,"

"It's okay, I thought I'll share Shawarma with you but it's okay," Zara smiled innocently and the pizza slice dropped from my hands.

" Okay, I'm sorry, it's all yours, please Sha... shawarma..." I almost whined.

" Noo, Noo," she blew a kiss at me and took a big bite of Shawarma.

" I hate you," I was pissed off.

"Okay, " she shrugged her shoulders.

"Don't you care?" My eyes widened.

"Naah," she smiled cheekily and shoved the last bite of Shawarma in her mouth which brought tears in my eyes.

I thought she is joking but she didn't share it with me

"Nice,"

"Aww I'm sorry baby," she hugged me from behind.

"Stay away from me and don't touch me," I groaned.

" You sure?"

" Yeah," my eyes started bawling out.

" I saved a shawarma for you, baby," she whispered those magical words in my ear and I held back the urge to smile.

"I don't want it," I tried to act tough.

"Okay," okay? Did she just say okay?

How can she say okay??

It was your fault Zaynah, you shouldn't show her attitude!

"I'll kill you, Zara Shah, just give me damn Shawarma..." I pushed her on the bed and asked in a loud tone.

" Are you gonna kill me for that shawarma?" She groaned dramatically.

" Yes,"

" Okay okay, I hid Shawarma in Wajahat's fridge from Hamza and Hammad, "

" What the heck? Did you hide in your brother's room? " I narrowed my eyes.

" Yeah cuz it's safe there, now go and grab it," she pushed me from the bed and I landed on the floor.

" How I'm supposed to grab Shawarma from Wajahat's room? " I glared at her.

" He's your husband, " he cooed.

" Shut up,"

"Okay Soo Wajahat is probably in the gym and he's not coming before an hour, it's perfect timing for this, " she winked at me.

" Are you sure? " I didn't want to get caught by him again.

"Yeah, damn sure... Now go and hurry up," she pushed me away from her room.

My feet became heavy and started trembling. I slept so long but I was still sleepy. I rubbed my eyes and yawned. But I need to do this for SHAWARMA. Anything for you baby!

I stepped inside his room, and my heart started racing. There was a different scent and peace in his room. I was admiring his room then I realized my purpose to come here. I roamed my eyes all around and found a mini-refrigerator in the corner of the room.

I opened the refrigerator and took the shawarma from it.

It was looking so tempting that I didn't bother to reheat it. I took a large bite of Shawarma and closed my eyes from the extreme pleasure.

No one eats chilled shawarma but I was Zaynah, the weirdest creature on this planet.

Bruhh, my feet need rest!

I made myself comfortable on a couch and started enjoying my CHILLED Shawarma.

The taste was exploding in my mouth and I was having my best food orgasm.

But all the taste disappeared as I heard the click on the door. Wajahat Shah, with all his glory, walked in and as he spotted me, his eyes grew wide from shock.

Why Zaynah why?? Why do you always do this??

It was all Zara's fault!

Zara told you to grab the Shawarma not to sit here in the peace.

Damn, he caught me again!

I looked at the remaining Shawarma and without thinking anything else, I shoved the whole Shawarma in my mouth.

His eyes widened as he saw me doing this and he burst into laughter.

"Are you for real, Zaynah?" He asked between his laugh and the first time in my life I saw him laughing heartily. He looks so ...

But then I realized it wasn't the time to drool over him, I will do this some other time, I should do something of the mayonnaise dripping from my hand.

He started moving towards me and my heart started beating fast from the nervousness. I was in the most awkward position ever. Damn Zaynah, it's all happening cuz of that stupid Shawarma.

It wasn't stupid, it was tasty asff!

Focus Zaynah focus!

Wait...what...

Oh my Goddd!

What the hell!

Damnn!

Why didn't I noticed before?

Omg, I'm gonna die...

Holy crap!

Wajahat was standing in his room for the past five minutes and I realized just now that he was SHIRTLESS, he was HALF NAKED,

No shirt on, the only sweatpant and now I could see his toned body.

I averted my gaze and gulped the saliva formed in my throat.

His muscles were flexing with each step he was taking which caused my cheeks to turn red.

The heat grew on my cheeks, ear, and whole body.

"Where're your manners, Miss Zaynah?" He asked as he stood in front of me.

Is he going to insult me again?

"Huh? Zaynah Wajahat Shah," his voice brought me back to reality and I looked at him nervously. His proximity was making me nervous and blush at the same time. I looked into his eyes to find a lot of emotions dancing in them. My breath got hitched and I gulped the saliva again.

My eyes traveled again to his naked chest and I let out a deep breath, he was watching me continuously and I was feeling uncomfortable under his intense gaze. I started chewing my lips from nervousness and I heard a soft groan escaped from his mouth.

His hand reached to my wrist and as my body came into his contact, a spark of electricity shot in my body. My heart became hot and started racing fast.

He brought my hand near his mouth and looked at the mayonnaise which was dripping from my fingers. His lips curled into a smile.

He's making fun of me!

But what he did next was enough to give me a heart attack. He put my finger in his mouth and licked it. My whole body was on fire and I held back the urge to close my eyes.

His eyes were closed and he was enjoying the taste of mayonnaise. I never knew he likes mayonnaise that much.

"Eww, you unhygienic person, you can afford tons of mayonnaise packets and all you chose is to take it from here, Ewwww," I scrunched my nose with disgust and he opened his eyes and looked at me with a shock like I had grown some extra head.

"What? Why are you looking at me like this? It was really gross, I mean who..." words were left in my mouth as he pulled me closer by my waist and smashed his lips to mine. The whole world started spinning around me. I was still in shock, my eyeballs were popped out from the socket. And a lot of weird and new things started happening to my body.

He was stealing my first kiss!

Before his lips can work on mine, we heard a loud knock on the door and he came back to his senses, he parted from me and looked at me. I was all red and flustered. We almost kissed, damn! but now who the heck is on the door?

We both exchanged a look and fear appeared on our faces.
