The few months went by like flash and Zaviyar was still here, waiting for his Zojah. Sending her favorite snacks, dresses, plushies and different chocolates. Even though the girl hated his guts but he didn't gave up. As Ayzel decided to continue her studies, he kept an eye on her from a distance, watching her hang out with her new friends and going here and there, he was always watching over her.

His heart was still in denyal, as if he was drowning in the sea of his own guilts and thoughts, waiting for someone to pull him back out. His eyes dull with pain and grief as he gave it his all to stay the 'Professional Son of the Khan Family' but at the end of the day, he was still just a boy, waiting for his comfort person to remember him and say that she was just testing him or she was just pranking him but nothing. Only thing that glimmered in her hypnotizing orbs was confusion and hint of uncomfortable emotion.

He was like a hopeless romantic now, keeping up his cocky grin infront of her even though his heart was shattering bit by bit as every second passed by.

"Main ny apko kaha tha ky mera peecha krna chor dein.", She crossed her arms, looking at him with her usual irritated expression.
(I told you to stop following me)

"I just came to pick you up. Or wese bhi andhera ho rha hai to apko main ghar akele nhi jany dun ga ", he said with a smug smirk on his lips as he held a single rose, hidden behind his back.
(And besides, it's getting dark and i won't let you go home alone.)

She fought the urge to roll her eyes before sighing and nodded. He almost jumped in happiness as he saw her subtle nod. "Or ye lein", he extended his hand which washolding the delicate Red Rose as she only looked between the rose and him.
(And Here...)

"Uhh...thanks", she blurted out awkwardly and took the rose from him, sniffing its calming scent with a faint smile on her plump lips. He smiled as he felt like his heart was mending back together at the thought of making her smile.

"Chalein? ", she said as he flinched out of his trance and rushed towards his car, trying to open the door but the car was locked, he chuckled awkwardly before unlocking the car and opened the passenger door for her. She muffled her laugh by pressing her lips together and sat in the car.

She was continuously shifting in her seat, indicating that she was uncomfortable with him. He stopped the car at a red light and looked at her. "Am i biting you?", he said, feeling a sudden rush of Dejà vu.

"No..", she said and sat up straight.

He drove off to her house as his fingers tapped on the steering wheel in a soft rhythmic way. " To...apka semester kesa ja rha hai? ", he asked in his low tone , which came out as a soft mumble.
(So...how's your Semester going so far?)

"Theek", she said shortly as her fingertips brushed on the velvety soft petals of the rose.
(Fine)

Silence engulfed the air again as he parked his car infront of her house and got out of the car, sprinting towards the passenger seat door as if his life depends on it. She chuckled quietly at his urgency before getting out of the car.

"Shukria", she cleared her throat and walked towards the front gate, opening it before looking back at him for the last time who was looking at her, waving slightly with a grin on his lips.

He sat back in the car and started the engine before driving away while grinning like a idiot. Memories flashing back in his kind, memoried which made him to keep on going in his rough life and memories which felt like a punch in the guts. He sighed as his smile fainted away and the slight glint of joy in his eyes fainted away and his gaze went dull like a black hole with nothing in it— completely emptied out.
