Photo shoot was going on in full swing without a break.I am having a hard time controlling the urge to kill the lady beside me who was showing full teeth to all.

He was used to this, but she is really testing his patient. Finally the shoot was over, he changed to his casual wear and left from there leaving the poor girl who thought she could spend some quality time with him.

Driving always gives me some peace, I like to do things on my own without anyone’s help. It gives some freshening feeling. Now I want to clear my mind, I couldn’t hold it anymore.  I tried not to think about her because of, that I took on so many projects, expanding my business in almost every country. In short, I buried my self in work and locked myself in my fucking cabin.

Coming office at early hours and leaving to home at midnight become my schedule even my mom threatened my If I come lately she won't open gates for me. She will do as she says, so to avoid such things, I will stay at my sister’s apartment. She is like a baby to me, my sweet little sister.

There are cafés and restaurants even near my company, it’s evening people will be scattered here and there, and if they recognize me then it will come as hot news.

I know a cafe near the airport, most of the people don't know that there is a place like that. Only a few know that place.

I arrived there and parked my car a little far, as I wanted to walk. I covered my face with a mask, put on my gloves and cap.

I opened the door. There is a bell connected to the door, if we open or close it will make a noise and I have to say that it is different from other bells.

I thought no one would come at this time, but there was a line which was quite long. I stood there, adjusted my cap and mask.

I felt a little tug on my right forearm and a very sweet voice saying that the line is too long and I am super hungry. I need an ice cream like right now.
That voice is so soothing, not getting any reply from me. She raised her head a little and I can see red plum lips. She is also wearing a cap that was blocking her view to see me. She slowly removed her cap.

Is it  a dream or this is actually happening and she is actually here. In front of me.

She took a step back which I don't like and apologized saying that she mistook me as someone. I just nod my head as it is ok not able to find my voice.

A man who looked older, maybe in his early thirties, came and stood between us. Can't he stand behind me?

Now she is ordering, she is asking for so much chocolates. He Interrupted her saying Zaha , you don't have to buy this much! You can't finish it and we need to leave. Your sister was eagerly waiting for you. If we reach late, she will definitely make me sleep on the sofa.

I wanted to laugh at this but one word got stuck in my head . ZAHA what a beautiful name, so beautiful like her.
She nodded her head cutely and received her order and went.

I quickly got my espresso and went outside to see her but they were already gone.

I hopped in my car and headed home. Everyone was standing there with shocked expressions written all over their faces.

What an honor! My Overdramatic sister exclaimed after seeing me.

I saw my Mom coming from the kitchen.Oh my goodness! She opened her arms for me, I hugged her and kissed her cheeks.

Family hug saying that my sister joined us and coming shouted, my dad and hugged all of us.

I am going to prepare all of your favorite dishes for dinner. Mom said happily.

This is cheating. What about me and dad? She whined.

Darling, did you forget your hot husband? Raising an eyebrow, dad asked Mom.

If you want, go and make it. Today I am going to cook for my son. She replied sternly, but I can see a tint of blush.

We are also here, my dear old love birds.

We are still young by heart. He said loving looking at my Mom.

Benjamin! Will you guys please stop?

Ok Darling saying this he kissed Mom's cheeks.

Get freshen up and come down, Devyn. I will arrange the table.

Mom, you don't have to do this. All day you have been working on organization so, will you now take a rest? Me and Ingrid will arrange the table.

They all nodded their heads. I went upstairs to freshen up.

Me and Ingrid were arranging tables, I couldn't believe my eyes!

Then don't believe it. I said, as I did not want to continue this drama.

Hi Jacob, she waved her hand.
Hey babe, These two never change this.

May I know for what business you came here? I asked him, raising an eyebrow and keeping my hands in my pants.

What have I done to get a cold friend like you? Huffed my dear friend Jacob.

Enough of the dramas. I am hungry, you two arrange the plates. Saying this she comfortably sat on the chair.

Mom,Dad came, we took our seats and served ourselves. Jacob kept on stealing a glance at me.

Is there anything on my face? I grumbled having a morsel of Balti curry.

How come you are home at this hour? He asked me as if something unbelievable happened.

I want to come so I came. That's it. I just replied without even looking at any of them.

After that nobody asked anything, we finished our supper silently.

I went to my room, tried to sleep. But her angelic face is not allowing me. I want to see her. All this time I said to myself that she is far away from me, it is impossible to see her, but she is here, in the same country as me. Don't let your path Cross with me Zaha.  I fell into my dreamless sleep.

Can you do what i am gonna say?
If yes, then press that star only once😅😁
