The night when Khan Mansion was attacked and burnt into ashes..

Sarfaraz calmed himself down, and sat back on his seat and got back to his work.

Time skip - after Sarfaraz reached home (night - 10:00 pm)

"Ammi, apke paas Zoya se baat karne ka kuch contact hain kya?" Sarfaraz asked his mom.
(Mom do you have anything to contact with Zoya?)

"Um no, Zoya doesn't have a phone.. And we also contacted there family with letters and Zara has a phone but she is most of the time in the library.." His mother replied. "But why do you wanna contact her?"

"Just.. I had to talk something i-important about Aahil bhaiya's m-marriage.." He lied, he did not wanted his mother to panic.

"Oh, okay then I will try to contact Zara and ask her.." She said with a soft smile on her face and Sarfaraz nodded. They all had dinner and everyone went to their respected rooms.

Sarfaraz was in tension now, he had to contact Zoya more frequently now, he knew Abhimanyu was dangerous he could do anything to their loved ones any second. Even though if Sarfaraz contact Zoya once and explains to her everything, her life would be still in danger as he will be not able to reach her everytime.

"S-should i get a phone for her? So i can contact her.. more frequently.." He went into deep thinking, and he finally decided that he will get her a phone.

Time skip - next morning (04:41 am)

Sarfaraz woke up to pray Farj. After namaz, he was praying to Allah to keep his family, Zoya and her family safe and sound. He was going to take a big step today. He would confess to Zoya. He didn't knew if she will accept or not but even if she doesn't, he would keep her safe from Abhimanyu.

8:12 am

Zoya was sitting under the same tree where she and Sarfaraz met, her eyes adoring the beautiful mustard field as always, and her ears listening to the beautiful chirping of the birds. It was too peaceful. Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came as she looked behind. There was him. Sarfaraz.

Sarfaraz sat beside her but maintaining a good distance. "Hey.." He said with a nervous smile.

"Hi.." Zoya replied shortly with a soft smile, meanwhile her mind was filled with various questions.

"I know you must be confused and wondering why am I here all of a sudden when we were supposed to meet on Sunday.. Well actually.. I have something important to talk with you and after I explain myself to you.. I am ready to answer all your questions.." He said with a soft smile while his heart beating wildly in his chest. Zoya nodded.

Sarfaraz slowly took out a rose and held it in his hand, while Zoya was confused.

"Z-zoya, yaad hain wo din jab pehli baar uss mele mein mile the?"
(Zoya you remember that day when we both met for the first time in that fair?) Zoya nodded.

"Uss din, mene tumhara..chehra pehli baar ke liye dekha tha, aur mene tumhara aawaz bhi pehli baar ke liya suna. Pata nahi kyu fir humesha usi chehre ko dekhne ka man karta tha, usihi aawaz ko sunne ke liye dil taraptatha.. uske baad hum zyada meet karne lage, aisa nahi hain ki mein abhi bhi tumhara utna close huun.. Par.. I do feel something for you.. Jo normal nahi ha.. Matlab.. Jo friendship ki thara to nahi lagta, jab bhi tumhara shakal dekh ta huun to dil khushi se bhaar jata hain, or aisa lagta hain ki humesha isi chehre ko dekhte rahoon.."
