“So ? Did you like the room ?” - Shifa asked with a smile.

‘Like ?’ - Zunera thought as she took in the splendid guest room. To say she liked it would be injustice to it. It was beautiful and she absolutely loved it!

“Oh yes. It's lovely.” - she replied Shifa, smiling politely.

“There's a nightgown in the almirah. Change in it you'll feel comfortable.” - Shifa told her. “And if you need anything, this right here is the intercom. Call the staff whenever you want.”

Although, Zunera knew she wouldn't disturb any servant in the middle of the night but the way Shifa asked her warmly touched her heart.

“Thank you so much.” - she said softly and Shifa smiled again.

“No problem. You must be tired. I'll leave you to rest now. See you in the morning.” - Shifa said and left the room.

Zunera sighed. She really was feeling tired. Walking towards the wardrobe, she found two nightgowns in there. One for a male guest and one for the female. She picked out the one for her and walked to the bathroom to change. She returned fifteen minutes later, freshly showered and wearing the silky nightgown and was just drying her hair when there was a knock at the door.

‘Who can it be ?’ - she thought frowning and went to open the door.

Arbaaz couldn't believe he was walking in his own house like a thief. He was tip toeing towards the guest room at 1 in the night. The house was almost dark sans the dim golden globes lit on every floor. He also had successfully stolen the spare key of the guest room from Aamir, the head of the staff, who was busy shaking the house with his snores.

He reached his destination at last. Inserting the key, he unlocked the door and entered.

Only to find the room empty.

He frowned. He had made sure to check that Zunera was in the guest room a floor above him. He himself had seen Shifa taking her along upstairs. So where was she now ?

“Zooni...” - he called her out in a low voice, thinking she might be in the bathroom.

But no response.

His frown deepened and he checked the bathroom but she was not there either. He returned to the room, panicking, when his gaze fell on a paper, folded on the nightstand. He quickly went to pick it up and read :

Dadi Jaan has called me to her room. I have a guess she wants me to spend the night there, talking. I know you will come and find me gone. That is why, I'm already sorry for your ruined plan.

He let out a groan, collapsing on the bed with a thud.

p.s. you are absolutely adorable when you whine. Feels like watching a 4 year old throwing a fit :D

A surprised laughter escaped him at that and he fell back on the bed with a smile.

She knew him inside and out. Like they were together since forever. God! He loved her so much!
