Amyra : His Ruthless Obsession

Chapter 6

Amyra's POV

"Amyra?" I flinched a little as it was a sudden call.  I turned and saw Mr. Khan standing a few inches away from me. He was in a navy blue tuxedo, probably he just came from his office.

"I am sorry that I showed up suddenly. My driver had some personal issues that he couldn't make it, so that's why I am here to take you with me to the cafe." He said. Does he have only one driver? Why did he have to come to pick me up?

"Oh. Okay, Mr. Khan." I said. "Are you sure that he wants to take you to the cafe? What if he kidnaps you? Look at him. He looks like he will eat you alive. Better stay away from him." Kabir whispered. "Keep your rubbish to yourself, Kabir. He is bhai's friend. He is a trustworthy person." Glaring at him, I said.

"Who knows? People nowadays cannot be trusted." "Kabir! Stop making her nervous." Eyana scolded him, smacking his head a little with her stethoscope. "Ahh!"  Kabir let out a groan.

"Can we leave now? It's getting late." Mr. Khan asked and I nodded. "Bye guys." I said. When I was about to turn to leave, Kabir held my hand and pressed something on my palm. I looked down at my palm only to see a pepper spray. A. Pepper. Spray. This guy! "What the hell is this Kabir?"

"Pepper Spray." He shrugged. "I can see that. But for what? I don't need this." I said. "As a good friend and brother, It's my duty to protect you and I am just doing that. Keep this for your safety." I can' t believe this guy. I gave him and Eyana a smile and walked away from there. As Mr. Khan and I were walking, I was before Mr. Khan and he was behind me like a bodyguard.

After we reached the parking lot, I saw a black SUV in front of me and I understood it was his car. I wanted to open the door of behind seat. Before I reached the back seat door handle, a big hand came in front of me and pulled the passenger seat's door handle. I looked up to the owner of the hand, and there he was waiting for me to get in. He lifted his left brow and tilted his head a bit, silently gesturing me to get in the passenger seat.

I obeyed and got in muttering a thanks for which he replied a welcome. After some time, we reached our destination. Once he stopped the car, there were a few men lining up at either side of the entrance. They were in black tuxedo with sunglasses on. They had guns with them that made me scared. They looked like Mr. Khan's bodyguards. Two of them approached us, and opened the car door for us.

I hesitated to get down, that's when Mr. Khan said "Don't worry, Amyra. They won't hurt you. They are here for our safety. There are no harms. Trust me." I nodded. Once we got down, the bodyguards bowed their heads in respect to their boss. Although it wasn't for me, still I was feeling a bit uneasy as I wasn't used to this.

I was surprised to see the cafe empty when we entered. Only a few staff were there. Why is there no one here? I frowned while looking around the cafe. "I reserved the whole cafe only for us." I was too stunned to say anything. He said as if he knew what was going on in my mind.

"Why?" I asked in confusion. Usually this place will be packed every evening. "I don't like disturbance, Amyra. I don't want to hear any background noise while talking to you." He said, locking his blue eyes with my brown one. I could see his eyes lit up while talking to me. Why? I asked myself.

After that, we settled ourselves on the couch facing each other. There was a glass table in the middle of us. Just then, a waitress came and we ordered coffee for each of us. When the waitress went off, he started.

"Amyra, I will come straight to the point. My grandmother has a chronic illness. She has hypertension and heart disease. If she gets tensed, it will be hard for us to calm her down. Her high blood pressure leads to her heart disease. She even had a heart attack once and the doctor said if she gets it for the second time, it will be hard for her to survive. So, I don't want to take any risks regarding my grandmother. That's why I want you to check on her regularly and update me about her health. If can everyday. Only if you can."

After he finished, he took a sip from his coffee. I listen to him carefully and with full focus. "I see. So, this is your grandmother's problem. Don't worry Mr. Khan. I will check on her everyday after I graduate. After that, she will be my responsibility. You don't need to worry about this. I will be graduating in just two more weeks and then I will start to check on her."

"Thank you so much, Amyra. In this case, I can only trust you."

"You are welcome, Mr. Khan."

"Just call me Zayn, Amyra. I hate it when people that I like call me Mr. Khan. It makes me feel like a stranger."

What does he mean by 'people that I like'? He likes me? What the hell? Seriously?

"I don't know you well enough to call you by your name."

"It doesn't matter to me, Amyra. I want you to call me Zayn after this."

"But..." He cuts me off.

"No ifs and buts. Just. Call. Me. Zayn."

"Okay, Zayn."

A smile formed on his face. "Good." He said lifting his brows.

"Can I go out of topic for a while?" He asked.

Out of topic? What does he want to say? "Sure."

He took another sip of his coffee. His adam apple is moving up and down.

"I like it when I talk to you. It helps me release my tension. Whenever I see you, I forget all the problems around me. Your aura makes me feel good, Amyra."His eyes softened.

My heart skipped a beat. Tension started building around me.He likes talking to me? Helps release his tension by talking to me? Oh god! I don't know what to say. Somehow, I managed to say "Glad to hear that, Zayn." He smiled more.

"If we are done can we move out?" I asked, unable to carry the tension. "Yeah, sure."

I was so tired today with my college work. I went to my room, walked to the bathroom, freshened up, got changed into a comfortable night dress and did my skincare. When I was about to switch off the light, I heard a knock on my door. I went and opened the door revealing my brother.

"Bhai?"

"Will you just stare at me or let me inside too?"

"Come in" I said giving him a side eye.

We both sat on the couch in my room.

"What happened? You haven't slept yet?"

"I...I just wanted to check on you. You were
stressed with your assignments right? So, yeah that's why."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

He looked happy. So surely something had happened.

"Who?" I asked.

His head snaps towards me. "How do you know?" "You are smiling for no reason. So, it must be because of someone. Who's that?"

"Anaisha".

"Who's that?"

"Zayn's sister."

"What!? How?" I was so shocked. I couldn't believe what I just heard. Zayn's sister?

"Are you in love with her?" I continued.

"I don't know, Amyra. But I feel something whenever I see her."

I just stared at him. He looked at me and said " Sleep, Amyra. We will talk tomorrow." With that he left my room leaving me with thousands of questions in my head.
