Falling In Love With You : The Eternal Love

Calloused fingers falling on the black keys of the laptop, sharp hazel eyes staring at the screen with a frown, indicating the undivided concentration, on his flawless forehead before shifting his gaze on the white pieces of papers attached to a black folder, reading the letters and numbers printed on it and then signing at the end.

His concentration was interrupted time to time, in order to receive the phone calls, some times on the landline placed neatly above his expensive wooden desk which was being transferred by his assistant or sometimes on his cell phone.

A soft knock echoed around the silent room, soon the mahogany door flung open upon receiving the permission, revealing a man with a bright smile on his face which had the power to lit up the darkest hours.

"Umair", the handsome man called, grabbing the attention of the aforementioned male.
"Yeah", a deep yet soothing voice replied before turning his gaze to the electronic gadget's screen, again.

"These are the files of the orphanages you asked for", the eldest of the two spoke, placing six folders on the desk.
"Thank you, Zahid Bhai", the younger male spoke.
"No problem, brother", he chuckled, eyes held a mixture of admiration and adoration.

"You have a meeting with the project heads in about ten minutes", he further added receiving a curt nod.
"And Ma asked for your presence at the lunch table because you left before breakfast today",
"Alright! I will ask to clear my schedule for lunch", Umair said without diverting his gaze from the files, holding his usual cold, expressionless features.

Regardless of his loaded schedule, he would never disobey his parents. The happiness of his family mattered to him the most but his reserved persona would not allow him express it out loud.

He did care, as he had a pure, kind heart but unfortunately the perks of being a royal with immense responsibility took a great toll on him, at least that was what his parents agreed to believe. He built a strong cold shield around himself, reasons being unknown.

The unknown incident which took place at the states forced himself to be mature when it was time for him to fool around. He chose to master in close combat, sword fighting and shooting, when it was time for him to hold video game controller.

He chose to read law books or any kind which would acknowledge him, how the world works when it was time for him to read teenage novels. He preferred to watch news intently to keep a tab about the world or war videos, to be prepared for future, when it was time for him to watch fun programs.

That was not the end, he memorized the holy book of Quran within two years and accomplished the title of Hafiz-e-Quran, without anyone's knowledge.

His parents were pious and gave their religious knowledge to their children. But Umair was not a religious man from the beginning, this was also one of the traits which was added to his new personality. His parents were really happy for that. They did not have any complain for their son, just wanted to see him smiling again.

That was how a royal and a future CEO should be, his newly formed mind supplied.

Zahid sighed softly and left the silent room, mumbling a "see you later".

"Mama, why didn't you cook chocolate truffles for me?", a melodic soft whining voice of a surreal woman was echoing inside the dinning room. Her puffy fuller lips jutted out into an adorable pout, her angelic face holding a sulky frown.

"Jasmine, I made so many foods and you just pointed out the dish which is missing", a disappointing voice of another beautiful woman was heard.
"But I was craving for it", the younger woman puffed her cheeks more.
"Be grateful of what is in front of you, there are people who cannot afford a single meal a day", the royal lady of the house stated with a hint of somberness in her voice.
