ASAD POV:

Today was her first day, I don't wanna miss that, for some reason I wasn't able to sleep maybe excitement or being nervous?
Woke up early and too ahead of time, got ready and went downstairs.
The dining area was empty, i went into the kitchen mumma and maid were making breakfast
"Oooh my prince woke up early today, why? i doubt"
mumma exactly knew why yet here she is.
I gave her tight lipped smile
"Ahh fine, the Breakfast is not yet ready wait for me at the table"

"No mumma, I'll be late just an apple would be fine"
I said while tossing the apple from the fruit basket.
"Noo if you leave the house without eating don't dare to step again here, it will take just a few minutes to wait"
I eyerolled and listened to her
After a few minutes she brought my plate, and today there was no toast, no eggs, but poha
"Wow mumma poha? Nice"
she smiled
"Achha sun, ruhis father called last night and it was late, they asked us if a small meeting would be fine for us, we agreed and were invited in the evening to their house so make sure you come early"
She said, as the only thing I did was nod.
I did my breakfast and was about to leave
"Arey bhai, nashta?"
Zia spoke from the staircase
"You are late, I'm already done bye!"
I left. On my way a girl with scooty was visible to me and she was none other than ruhi I stopped my car, she was pleased but as soon as I rolled down the window disappointment was all over her face
"Thanks a lot but I'm all good"
she said while looking for another car
"It's 7 in the morning, and looking for a lift? Imposible. Instead of regretting later your future self might love to take my help"
I splitted the facts, for some reason she was done with me but I'll change that for sure.
She pressed her temple and hopped in my car.
"Thanks I'll make sure to repay"
she said while looking down
"It's okay, maybe we are meant to as we keep clashing into each other"

my eyes were on the road and I could see her cringing out by my side
Before she could speak her phone rang
"Ab jakar phone dekh rahi hai?"
"Achha theek hai sun, my scooty broke down in middle of nowhere would you please get a mechanic and get it done, leave it by my house I'll let my father know"
"Okok bye,love you"

Love you? Ain't she meeting me in the evening and love you???
She kept her phone and in a mili second I saw the name, it was written lobe with two heart emojis
Who the hell is lobe and what kind of name is this.
"Don't even dare to peak just focus it'll help both of us"
she said as she scrolled through her phone
"We reached"
I said her as we reached QHRS, she got off
"Thanks a lot, I'll repay soon"
she said before she could close the door I asked
"But how? Will you be okay if I get your number?"
She was thinking for way too long
"Maybe yours number will work too"
She handed over her phone to dial my number I did
"Your name?"
Oops, getting caught?
"Nevermind"
she saved my number and left
What even she put on as my name?
I shook my head, parked my car and went in.
I called ateek explained him everything and asked to take extra care of her.

RUHI pov:

Somehow I ended up taking help of this man, he wants repay so I took his number, no! more like I want to repay as I don't like owing something to someone.
I was walking inside the hospital until I realised how he knew I wanted to go to QHRS. I clearly remember i didn't told him where I wanna get off. I went back to see if he was still there and nope he was way long gone, Strange man.
I went up to the receptionist
"Excuse me, i recently joined as a doctor and it's my first day will you please let me know where should I go"
I asked the lady on the counter
"Go to the second floor where the mass interview took place"
"Thankyou"
I went to the hall where more doctors were waiting for someone
I took the seat beside a lady as it was empty.
Some guy entered the hall along with one more.
And it was him, the one who gave me a lift.
"Hello everyone, I'm ateek roy COO of QHRS and this is Asad Quraishi owner of QHRS"
Whaytttttt? My eyes went wide and we had eye contact, I can see him smiling.
I hid my face quickly, nothing can be more embarrassing.
So he knew all the way?
"Hello everyone, welcome to QHRS, you guys have been selected very thoroughly i hope I'll not face disappointment, make sure to be fit and not over do yourself that's all I wanted to say and this is the first time we are hiring so many doctors at the same time I'll guess you are ready for whatever it is, the departments are assigned to everyone make sure to take a look at the schedule pinned outside the corridor, and that's it thankyou! All the best"
they both left the hall
"Hii my name is Amelia"
the lady beside me approached, she seemed older than me and definitely not a fresh graduate.
Looking at the people around me made me think why even they selected me, by looking at their faces no one seemed young, was i the only one who is new?
"Hii my name is ruhi, nice to meet you"
i introduced myself
"Nice to meet you too, you seem young, is this your first workplace?"
She tried to communicate not letting me feel awkward
"Yeah! Now I'm nervous, maybe I'm the only young here"
I said while looking around
"No dear everyone has their first, don't worry you'll get this though, come on let's check our department"
I hope she's with me cuz she seems more who can take lead, im worst at this
"Yea let's go"
we went to check the list
I was assigned to the ICU but it was strange as my working time was for just 2 months while others had 6 months.
"Maybe you are new so they might change it after 2 months"
Amelia spoke as she saw me being confused.
I saw Amelia was with me too,
I sighed
"Thank god you are with me"
i said it to her and she smiled
We went off to our assigned department, as it was our first day we most observed than reacted, somehow the day ended.
At 4 I called aiza to meet me in front of the hospital. I was waiting for her at the entrance, Asad Quraishi went past by me i quickly hid my face, woah this was so embarrassing. Firstly he knew me all the way and secondly he also knew it was my first day, I might seem dumb in his eyes nevermind I'm yet to take my decision it's not like I'll end up marrying him.
"Hello kis khayalo me khoyi ho, let's go"
Aiza came out of nowhere
"Nothing, you took a cab?"
I asked her cuz ofc she doesn't know how to ride
"Nope took a lift"
she said while pointing someone with her eyes, i followed her gaze Asad and Zia were talking.
I quickly grabbed her hand and ran out of their sight.
"Want some drama?"
I asked her, we decided to go to the nearest restaurant which is at walking distance, as the Quraishi family is soon going to be at our house I wanted to get off my nervousness and I would say this is the best medium to do so.
"OMG YES YES"
yeah this is aiza.
"So many twists and turns itne toh dramas me bhi nahi hote hoge"
I shook my head in disappointment
"Bolegi bhi ab"
"So the ASAD QURAISHI i didn't know who he was right, I mean his face, it turns out I've already met him and the first impression was not quite good"
my head was down as I spoke.
"What? Ruhi yrr can you please be clear" her eyebrows frowned
