Zaina's POV

I woke up and did my daily routine. I wore a simple lavender suit and tied my hair. After arranging my bed and clothes I went to the kitchen.

I made toast and still zayyan was not up as everyday he was in the kitchen before me. I decided to wake him up so knocked on his door but no one responded.

I tried a few times but when I knocked loudly the gate opened on its own. I peeked and he was not there and the washroom door was also open.

Where is he?

I searched outside in the garden but he was not there either. Only one place was left so I quickly went to the terrace and released a sigh but I got frozen on my place looking at him.

He was there shirtless doing pushups and he didn't noticed me yet as I was behind him. I was admiring him with a smile that soon changed into scowl.

Alisha was on her terrace and gawking at him with dreamy eyes. I went to the other corner in front of zayyan and blocked her view.

How dare she look at him?

He is mine I mean he is my friend how can she eyerape him so casually?

"Zaina? Sorry for delay. Generally I exercise early morning but today I woke up a bit late" he said with apologetic expression.

"No issue! I made the breakfast and was waiting for you" I said and he nodded. Though I didn't made eye contact with him as he was shirtless and it was doing something to me.

I could feel my heart rate quickening if even for a second we looked at each other. If it keeps on going I will sinus tachycardia then some heart disease and finally death.

No!! No!!!!!!

I was thinking looking at nothing in particular but soon gasped as I saw him getting close to me. I gulped as he took steps towards me with my eyes set in a  sweat bead which ran from his forehead to chest and abdomen then finally to his pants.

"Wh...what are y..yo...."

I was trying to say when he stood inches apart from me and showed me his water bottle and face towel from the stool behind me.

"Breakfast is ready"

I blushed profusely and ran inside my home. I don't know whether I heard correctly or not but he said cute. I prepared omelettes for us till the time he came for food.

We had our breakfast then I went to the hospital. The whole day was passed in a blur with me going on rounds and checking patients.

I was happy to see him after whole day but as soon as I entered my mood became sour. Alisha was sitting on my sofa with zayyan at a distance.

"Zaina!! You came" he said with a smile and stood up. I smiled lightly glaring at Alisha as she scoffed looking at us. Zayyan went to his room taking my phone as there was a missed call from Zakir Bhai.

Zakir bhai's flight is day after tomorrow and then zayyan will be free and safe. I am happy for him but about myself I think I will loose a part of my life after he will go.

Everything will be so meaningless and my life will be back to silence. Hospital, food and sleep. Though it never bothered me before but now I know how it feels to have someone for you so it is getting a bit difficult for me to get accustomed to it.

"Zaina!! I need your help please. I like your brother so much! I have been stalking him for a month and I think I have fallen in love with him. Please ask him to talk to me and at least give a chance to me" she said taking my hands in hers.
