~ Sorry i'm updating late. I have my GCSE exams coming up in May and was busy revising and am held back with school work. Nearer the time i might not be able to update as much. Very sorry once again but will try my best for now. ~

Now, without any further delay I get another cab and tell the driver the directions of where the car possibly was, but wait a minute the circle slowly started moving towards the highway where was Zaira going. I got anxious for some time thinking Zaira could be in some sort of trouble but if she was she would have told me by now. Why would she hide something. Thoughts came popping in my mind but they were unclear, blurred and confusing. I checked back on my phone to see where Zaira was now it seemed as if she was heading for a gas station on the highway.

I asked the driver if he could take me there he said no but i some how managed to persuade him by giving him extra money. I needed to get there no matter what. The wait was excruciating. I couldn't wait any longer i just had to know what was going on. Within a few minutes i reached the gas station. I told the cab driver to stay back so he could drop me back to the hotel but he said there were other passengers waiting for a lift and couldn't stay with me the whole time. He had a point so i thanked him and let him go.

I hesitantly walk towards the gas station with all these thoughts creeping up on all over again. It was almost the afternoon now. The sun peered away in the clouds making everything dim for some time. I was coming closer with every step i took. I stopped i could hear something my ears stood up and identified the sounds, the voices, the person or people? This could be Zaira i listened carefully but i guess i kind of regretted that because i could hear shouting, shouting which was so loud that it could make you deaf. Then all of a sudden silence dispersed into the cold air. Nothing not a sound nor the chirp ping of the birds. Except the sound of cars on the highway the honking of horns as i close in towards Zaira. I see her only her head i quickly hide behind a bush and listen in. I didn't get everything she said but she sure sounded angry it sounded like an argument. I peeked through the small holes in the bushes i could make out Zaira but who was this. It didn't seem like Hussain. I couldn't make it out exactly as he had his back towards me but it seemed as if Zaira has know him for quite some time. I listen in some more. Whats happening? This is what i hear:

Zaira: Why are you leaving like this. OK, i know its been tough for the past few months but we can do it. Together.

Mysterious person: (Holds Zaira's hand!) You know i have to go its important for us. Our future. I know you've been waiting for me, my reply for soo long but i was busy. You know why. Just try and understand my situation. I'm helpless i have no other option than this.

Zaira: I know but.... can't you... at least for our....

Mysterious person: (Hugs Zaira) It's alright i will be back. You know i'll come back for you.

Zaira: You will be in contact? You wont leave me mid-way. Alone like....

Mysterious person: (cuts in) I won't and i can guarantee that.

Zaira hugs this person for the last time from what i was figuring out and they then both parted ways.

I could see Zaira her face was lifeless i know she needed support and help but why wasn't she telling me what was going on so that i could understand and at least help her in this. Was this her boyfriend or someone more than that. Then what was all that in the mall, Hussain, love, meeting. This didn't seem to add up it was all puzzled in my mind. Was she acting in front of me and faking all this? How could she do this if it was true. For what purpose could she be doing this for. Nothing was clearing up in my mind. The more i thought deep down the more perplexed i got. I had to find out the truth. This act why did she lie? Who is this guy? And finally why was that guy cutting off Zaira when she was about to say the last words of her sentences? Did he know i was there? Was i being watched?

 Thants it i couldn't wait any longer i had waited enough with enough patience. Now I'm coming for you Zaira and i want the truth.
