That couldn't be possible! She couldn't love Hussain! After everything that has happened to her, how could she commit the same mistake once again? But, what if Hussain was not like that? What if he was different? Should she tell him her feelings about him? Nonsense, she wasn't even in love with him, but what was that feeling then?

Jiya's thoughts were interrupted when Shehry came to her, "Come on! You have to come with me!" and he threw another pair of skates to the icy floor. "No, I've already told Hussain that I don't wanna skate! I can't!" Jiya protested. "No you have to come and that's it!" Shehry dragged her along with him to the middle of the icy field. He held her hand tightly so that she managed to balance her weight. "You ok?" Shehry asked. "Yeah, seems like it!" Jiya replied as she laughed a bit. "Alright, we're gonna speed up now!" Shehry yelled and his voice echoed the whole centre. Jiya and Shehry both started having so much fun that they started laughing hysterically.

"Hey bro, are you seeing what I'm seeing?" Waqas asked Hussain. "They look good together, huh?" Hussain asked while he crossed his arms. "Sure they do, now what?"Waqas asked as he let a smirk and raised an eyebrow. "Just leave it on me..." Hussain reassured Waqas and continued to skate.

On the other side, Shehry slowly let off Jiya's hand and that's it, she could skate! "Woooohooooo!" she screamed happily. She's never had so much fun for years. She joined the rest of the people who was skating and sped up as well. "You're doing fantastic, Arzoo!" She turned around and shouted to her. "WATCH OUT!" Someone shouted to her. It was too late, Hussain was coming in her direction and basically it was too late to slow down or to do anything else. "BAM!" They collided against each other and both lost their balance and greeted the floor. Jiya sat back up and started laughing crazily. "I'm sorry but this is too much fun!" She could barely speak due to too much laughing. Hussain got up and extended his arm forward to help her up as well. As soon as she got up, Jiya noticed ice on Hussain's butt. It was so awkward that she couldn't control her laughter and started laughing again. "OMG HAHAHAHAHAHA, you've got your ass covered with ice!" "Sure go on, laugh!" he replied as he cleaned his pants. All of a sudden, Jiya lost balance and was about to slip but the savior of the day was right there. Hussain snaked his arms around her waist and caught hold of her.

For a moment, time seemed to have stopped. She couldn't see anything else apart from Hussain; she felt so secured in his arms that she could reside there her whole life. Her heartbeat fastened and she could feel her hand tremble and sweat at the same time. She was so lost in his deep brown eyes that she didn't notice Hussain talking to her. "Hello? Are you alright?" Hussain almost shouted in her ears. Jiya nodded and stood back to her feet. "Hmm, thanks, actually, we should get going, it's kinda late actually." Jiya stuttered as she searched for an excuse to leave. "Come on, it's only 9.30, we've got so much time ahead!" Hussain assured her. "No seriously, I wanted to stay but I'm sorry, I really have to leave." Jiya argued.

Hussain had no other choice but to agree to her. Jiya and Arzoo both greeted the boys and set out for their apartment.

"So what do you think of her?" Hussain asked Shehry as they both brothers sat down for a pause. "About whom?" Shehry asked at his turn as he took a sip of his black coffee to warm himself up. "You know 'her'..." "Oh she's a very fun loving girl, outgoing, carefree and a life lover. I never knew she was like that, I mean she seems to be a quiet girl but man she's just—" "I know bro, just leave it on me, I'll set everything alright." Hussain said as he patted Shehry's shoulder. "No, what if she's got her boyfriend?" Shehry asked at his turn, tensed. "I assure you, she hasn't..." Hussain gave him a reassuring look.

Hussain was damn sure Shehry was head over heels for Jiya; I mean who wouldn't, she was such a nice person, very cute indeed and so funny at times. He could have a chance with her but he was already taken.

Hussain was on his Ipad, chilling in the living room's settee when his phone went on full volume. "Oh look who's calling!" Waqas teased him. "Shut up, dude!" Hussain playfully nudge him.

As soon as Hussain answered the phone, he held it inches from his ear so that the organ doesn't burst out with Sara's shouting. "Four hours! Four hours Hussain! And not a single call from you? What's wrong with you? Are you seeing someone else?" Sara screamed through the phone. Thankfully it was only through the phone. "Babe, calm down, I was out actually, I was going to call you before going to bed!" Hussain explained. "But you haven't, have you? And besides with whom had you gone out?" Sara interrogated. "Come on, why are you acting like that? It's just a matter of four hours!" Hussain got up and went to the terrace of his apartment. There was Jiya, drying her hair up on her terrace as well. Hussain's attention was instantly driven to her. Those long curls; deep inside he wished he could play with them. His thoughts were interrupted when Sara once again yelled in the phone. "Hussain, answer me!" "I was out with the boys, and what's wrong with you? Look babe I don't wanna argue! Don't you trust me?" Hussain explained to her. "I do, but...anyways, I just called to say that we have to cancel our date tomorrow, we're having a girl's day out; y'know shopping and stuff!" Sara said on the other side. "But you promised!" Hussain angrily got up. "I know honey, but this is a last minute plan! Alright gotta go now, it's time to sleep, goodnight, love you!" and she was off the line.

Hussain was damn furious about this attitude of Sara. Like, when they first dated, she wasn't like that but later on, her true colors started showing up. She was the daughter of a rich business man but that doesn't mean she should behave like that. She always felt as if the whole world was at her feet. Those spoilt kids though. Take Jiya for example, she was such a nice and sweet person. Not arrogant, very helpful and loving and wow, she could be the perfect girlfriend. Hussain thought as he gazed at her from the balcony. She was like a little angel.

But no, what was he even thinking, he knew nothing about her and he had his girlfriend. It wouldn't be too nice of him to think of another girl. Sooner, Jiya noticed him and waved as she beamed. Unaware of what to do, Hussain instantly smiled back and waved as well.

He felt the hot temperature on his cheek as soon as Jiya looked at him. Her gaze was enough to make his heart skip a beat. He wasn't in love with her though, was that a crush? No definitely not! Jiya and Shehry would look good together so he couldn't think about Jiya like that. No, Jiya was meant to be for Shehry and he was going to unite them at any cost.
