In love and heartache, to you my love, I offer my heart, body, and soul.

Zayn was so engrossed in his painting that he didn't notice a figure leaning on his doorway watching him with careful eyes. That's until the recorded Chopin Piano Concerto he was listening to was turned off.
He looked at the woman who is smiling sheepishly, encouragingly, and a little bit comforting at him, looking beautiful she deserves to be. But behind those eyes, he knows deep inside that she pity him but trying her hardest not to show it.
"Hello, my little brother!" Doniya greeted sweetly with much enthusiasm but failing since she's trying to hold back her tears as she looked at her baby brother.
What happened to you?, she wanted to ask but opted not to.
Zayn just smiled at her, a smile that seemed like not a smile at all. He approached and hugged her before kissing her cheek.
"What brought you here?" he asked.
"Oh, you know how a worrywart the guys are at home!" she smiled cheekily, "but y'know, if it's mum who called me about you then I wouldn't be surprised, it's something she would do." She shrugged.
Zayn just looked at her with no emotion whatsoever. But there's a hint in his eyes questioningly of where his sister is going with the conversation, though he feels like he knows already.
"But it's Baba, and you know what it means if it's Dad who called, said he wants to go fishing with you. Well, you know, it's more than that." She continued.
Zayn just stayed quiet though as he averted his look from his sister.
Doniya was really worried and took it upon herself to go to London when she received a call from their Dad. She knows that their Dad is worried too like everyone else in their family. Yaser is a type of father to not show emotions and just plain strict, so for him to call her about Zayn is really something.
And now that she's inside her brother's house, her worry increased to even higher degree.
When she arrived, the house was quiet so she thought Zayn would be in his art room, which indeed he is. Zayn was painting.
But that's not what caught her worry, it's the fact that Zayn was painting Harry and walls in the room was filled with Harry's faces featuring different emotions. There's Harry with his goofy smile. A laughing Harry. A crying Harry. A pouting Harry. A sad Harry. A worried Harry. A Harry wearing a flower crown. A Harry who looked like Bambi with his big green eyes. A happy Harry. It's all Harry.
And it makes Doniya want to cry and hug her brother so tight.
The room was quiet.
Love is cruel. Sometimes, it makes us... Sometimes, it breaks us.
"Zayn, it's been five years. Don't you think it's time to move on?" she asked but almost like a whisper.
"I tried Don. Why do you think I married Perrie? But what happened? I ended up hurting her too. I think that's all I'll ever be. A monster who hurts people. I deserve to suffer alone."
And that's all the tears Doniya had been holding up the moment she stepped on her brother's house burst. She couldn't hold it anymore. She scurried to Zayn and hugged him from behind, shaking her head.
"No, you're not. You're not alone. We are here for you. I'm here. You're big sister is here." She turned him around and cupped his face with her both hands as she continued shaking her head disagreeing with him. Tears continued flowing in her eyes, she just cried even more when she saw the tears in Zayn's eyes.
"I don't want this love Don. It hurts so much."
Now Zayn is crying hard. He always bottled it up to himself. Ever since he left One Direction, it seemed like he lost his direction. Cliché.
Because he said he wanted a normal life and yet this is the outcome.
When he joined the band, he got accustomed to the guys. The way he would fool around with Louis and get scolded by Liam afterwards. The way he would talk to Niall because Niall was always the good listener. The many brave stuff he never imagined he would be able to do because of Harry.
And it's funny cuz he is indeed living a normal life, but the life he have now is too unfamiliar it makes him empty.
"It hurts so much Zayn, because it's true love." Doniya said to him.
He just cried harder and buried his face in his sister's neck. He have disappointed everyone and he's very disappointed with himself. It's a shame.
"It's not too late, brother. I know Harry still loves you! It's never too late." She continued as she hugged her brother as comforting as she could.

One Direction was in Warsaw when it all happened.
They just finished a concert and management gave them the whole day off so they could wander around the city. It was quite astonishing.
Of course Harry wandered off to himself declining Niall's offer to go with him saying "C'mon Niall, I know you wanted to go with Josh in that Polish Restaurant and try their cuisine."
Besides he can't really drag Niall around in the shops looking for this Piano bracelet Gemma requested, telling him that if he doesn't bring her a bracelet symbolizing a piano, she's gonna tickle him to death. Gemma is fond with Chopin and she wants a remembrance specifically from Warsaw.
. . .
After going to different shops and trying to disguise himself to not be noticed, he finally found the bracelet matching his sister's request. He ate in one of the restaurants and bought himself a coffee before taking a cab back to their hotel.
And then it happened...
First the cab stopped in the traffic light, then he heard a lot of loud honking.
And there was a shocking crash.
Everything went black in a matter of second.
. . .
At that very exact second, for some odd reason, the wooden stick holding the unfinished painting of Harry loses its screw making the painting drop on the floor.
Startling Zayn, he accidentally drops a can of red paint on his unfinished canvas as well, ruining the whole painting.
Love is cruel...
