Playing cupid

It was evening, Eshal paced back and forth in her room, distressed as she dial Zoya's number on her phone, pressed it on her ear and patiently waited for the line to connect. After a few rings, the line was finally answered as Zoya's voice raised on the other side, putting an end to her anticipation.

"Yes Eshu???"

"Zoi!!! Is Zain bhai at home??" She inquired, hoping to get a positive response in return.

"Uhm yeah why???"

"Actually I require his little help. I need to work on some files but they are encrypted. I need to open them but I can't remember the password. I can't reach my other colleagues either. It's urgent, I need to submit them by tomorrow." She explained her misery, distress evident in her voice.

Zoya pondered for a few seconds before exclaiming, "Arre Eshu! Stress kyun leti ho meri jaan. Come over, he'll help you. I'll send the driver."

Eshal felt the weight of heaviness lifted off her heart as she smiled, "Okay thanks. I love you, you're the best!!!"

"I love you too janam!!!" Zoya chuckled and with that they disconnected the call after bidding goodbye. Eshal walked back to her bed and quickly copied the required files on the USB flash drive from her laptop and dashed into the washroom to change her outfit.

"Mama! I'm going over to Zoi. I have some work with Zain bhai." As she received a message from Zoya that the driver had reached her home, Eshal immediately strode out of her room, setting a dupatta on her head and informed her mother on the way.

"Right now? It's getting late Eshal!!!" Her mother protested since the evening was getting dark and she didn't want her to go alone anywhere at this time.

"Maa it's urgent, don't worry I'm going with the driver, I'll be back soon Allah hafiz." Reassuring her mother, Eshal sprinted out.

"Oye!!!" Here Zoya sat beside Zain and nudged his arm who was engrossed watching a football match on LCD getting his attention as he glanced at her questioningly.

"Esha is coming, she needs your help but when she arrives you'll act as if you're busy." She informed more like order him.

"Why???" He frowned.

"Samjha karo na, In that way I'll take her to Zamin bhai."

Zain stares at her with narrow eyes, "Are you playing matchmaking, begum??"

"Ofcourse I have to play cupid when those two stupids won't take any action for themselves."

Zain kept staring at her, who blinked her eyelashes cutely, silently persuading him to do it for her sake. Sighing, He just nods his head without uttering anything, showing his agreement.
He can't win against this girl!!!

"Thank you!!!!" Zoya pecked his cheek and flee away at which he chuckled, shaking his head at her antics and shifts his attention back on the screen.

After a while there was a knock on their bedroom's door. Zoya quickly handed Zain his laptop who switched on the screen and randomly opened the software as she went to open the door, revealing Eshal there.

Both best friends greeted each other while exchanging hugs and Zoya invited Eshal in. Upon entering inside, she greeted Zain too but her face paled when she saw him working intently.

Is he busy? Did she by any chance disturbed him?

"Uhm I'm really sorry Eshal I was free until something really urgent came up. Its need my attention but Zamin is free he can help you with your problem." Zain apologizes to her as per instructed by his little wife. It was awkward for him to lie directly on her face but he was left with no other choice.
