MEANT TO BE TOGETHER

CHAPTER 13

ZEESHAN AHMED - POINT OF VIEW:

I woke up after sleeping peacefully for seven hours. Taking a shower, I felt fresh. I dressed up into white skinny jeans paired with a black shirt.

Taking out my phone I sat on the couch and logged on Instagram. Scrolling down I found a picture Aahil had posted. He, Mehreen and Zoya was on it, I think it was from her birthday. I don't know why but I just took a screenshot of it.

Scrolling down my phone rang, I picked it up and it was Dad, asking me to come down in the hotel lobby with Uncle, who was staying in room number 204. I agreed and went out to his room. Knocking on the door, he opened it with a smile on his face.

He locked the room and looked at the room next to his. "What happened uncle?" I asked and he replied "I think we shall let her be here, she wasn't feeling well while coming to the hotel. I messaged her that we are going out and she replied that she doesn't want to go out".

Woaw not feeling well. "Is everything okay?" I asked and he nodded.

"Let's go" he said and I nodded. Walking down to the lobby a staff member came to us and said "Sir Mr. Ahmed asked us to tell you that they are waiting outside" we nodded and was on our way outside when the lights of the whole hotel turned off. "What happened?" I asked one of the staff. "short circuit" he told and uncle run toward the receptionist.

"Give me the key to room number 205" uncle said in a worried expression. "I can't give the key of a room you don't owe" she replied. "My daughter is in there, please give it to me" uncle shouted.

She passed uncle the key and I spoke "what happened uncle?".

"Zeeshan please take the stairs and go into her room, it will take me time to get up there. Please meri beti ko Nyctophobia hai and she can't hold out being in darkness alone" he said and I nodded looking at his worried fatherly face.

I run up the stairs. Tenth floor, thank god I survived. I run towards the room and hurriedly unlocked the door when I heard a scream from a girl and besides that something fell on the floor.

I opened the door and walked in to find a girl sitting down beside the bed tugging the bed sheets. She was looking scared. I cleared my throats to get her attention and she looked up at me. "Pa ... Papa?" she asked and run up to me wrapping her arms around my neck.

I stumbled when she did that and then coming back on my balance I stroke her back, letting her feel better. "You fee..." I opened my mouth to ask if she was okay when I heard uncle's voice behind us "Zoya" he said.

When she realized that I wasn't uncle she pulled back and run towards uncle "Papa" she cried still in fear. "Zoya beta calm down" he said stroking her back.

Iska naam bhi Zoya, strange does everyone have the name?. Maybe I am just over thinking.

I come out of my thought when the lights turned on and Ishaan, mom and dad entered the room.

"Zoya" Ishaan said to the girl Zoya who had turned her back to me, she looked up and hugged Ishaan. What the .., I thought when she said "Ishaan bhaiya woh lights". "Shhh nothing happened everything is fine" he said consoling her.

Mom came in front of her and she pulled away from Ishaan. "You okay?" she asked and she nodded.

"Zoya beta come you have to take rest" uncle said walking towards her. "Papa I am all right" she said but when uncle insisted she turned to the bed where I stood. My eyes widened and so did hers.

"You" we both shouted at each other on the same time.

"What are you doing here, and why did you kidnap uncle's daughter, where is she? tell me or I am calling the police" I said and everyone looked at me and the she burst out laughing with the others.
