A/N: This chapter does contain mild swearing but it's nothing too serious and isn't aimed at anyone in particular.

————————————————————————————

I attempt to turn on my lamp on my bedside table but unfortunately it wasn't working.

"Iski battery abhi katham honi thi, pata nahi kis cheez ne mere hath ko chooba" I whisper to myself frustrated.

(The battery had to die now, I don't know what pricked my hand.)

I slowly get out of my bed and try to navigate my way to the entrance of my bedroom because the main lights' switch was right by the doors.

Before I could turn on the light, the doors open really quickly and I fall in front as the bright light from the hallway had stunned me.

Thankfully, I wasn't face flat on the floor.

Wait..

What?

NARRATOR'S POV:

Maheen had landed straight into the arms of Kaleem.

He uses this as a way to hug her as he heard her scream from just a room away and ran straight to her to make sure she was okay.

Maheen fixes her head into his chest feeling safe and protected.

Oh how they both loved this feeling.

Realising that she was still nuzzled into his arms she backs away a little bit using her hands as she rests them on his hard chest.

For a few moments, the two stare into each others' eyes and get lost for what seems like an eternity to them.

It was as if it was only them in the world and no one else.

KALEEM SHAH'S POV:

"Are you okay, Mahi?" I ask her after hearing her cute but worrying scream. She gives me her response through a slight nod whilst keeping her small pretty hands on my chest. "Gosh you had me worried, I had no idea why you screamed and then you didn't even think about turning the lights on."

"Hey don't say that! I was just about to on my lights until YOU opened the doors which stunned me because of the bright lights causing me to fall, so you could've caused my pain if you hadn't caught me in your muscular arms." She says to me very cutely whilst empathising the word 'you' whilst she pointed at my chest with her index finger.

"Oh, so Miss Mahi thinks I have muscular arms that saved her life right on time?" I ask her teasingly.

It's so nice to see her eyes widen when she realises what she has done.

It's quite cute to be honest.

I'm not mad that she called me muscular, I'm proud.

Maheen then removes her hand from my chest leaving me to feel empty and says, " Well no... I mean yes since you have been going gym these days.."

I raise my eyebrows at these particular words stunning her once again as I ask her, " I never told you about me going to the gym these days, how did you know?"

Her eyes widen again in shock.

Oh I love her, she makes my heart melt.

"Cmon now, I only know you go gym because you go with Hamza bhai and Rashid bhai and before they always get me to make their protein shake before going so they forced me to make an extra one for you" She says answering very convincingly.
