I’m captivated by you, baby, like a firework show.

Zoya got dressed in a white colored suit with black dupatta. Since it was Friday, it was a casual day at work. She let her hair down because they were wet. Some light makeup and black sandals completed her look. She had her breakfast with Sehrish and Malti.
"Don't watch too much TV." Zoya told Sehrish while throwing her dupatta over both her shoulders.
"Okay, mama." She replied while coloring her drawing.
Zoya kissed her cheek before walking out of the home. Outside, she again came face to face with the man from the opposite balcony. He was standing at the threshold of his apartment, talking to another man who looked like a delivery guy.
Zoya adjusted her laptop bag on her shoulder and called for the lift.
"When will the rest of my stuff arrive?" The man asked, with his husky voice.
"Sir, it should be here by evening." The delivery guy said.
"Okay." The man said and took out his wallet. He paid the guy and said a thank you.
Zoya could feel his eyes on her, and subconsciously she pushed her hair behind her ear.
The lift arrived and she didn't waste even a second to enter it.
Work was normal. She got free by 6 in the evening. But before she could leave, her boss summoned her to inform her that her tickets had been booked for the next Thursday.
"You have a meeting with the CEO of the company on Friday." He told her, "And then you can either come back on Friday itself. Or if you want to stay with your parents over the weekend, then I'll get your tickets done accordingly."
Zoya thought about it. She wanted to spend some time with her family. Her and Kausar's relationship was rocky, but she could stay with her for two days. So she asked for her return tickets to be booked on Sunday evening. She was going to stay the Thursday night at the hotel, and after the meeting on Friday, her colleague would come back and she would go home.
While coming back from the office, she called up Mahmood and informed her about her visit. It was no surprise that he was very happy about it.
She was almost home when her period tracker app notified that her period was supposed to start in two days. Since she had run out of tampons, she asked her cab driver to drop her at the supermarket which was inside her society.
She quickly grabbed a box of tampons and some chocolates for Sehrish. After paying the bill, she came out but her feet stopped moving as soon as she saw three dogs in front of her. She was petrified of dogs. They were looking at her and one of them was even barking. She looked around to find a way out, but they had blocked her.
