MEANT TO BE TOGETHER

CHAPTER 16

ZOYA ANWAR - POINT OF VIEW:

I parked the car and went out without looking at Zeeshan. I went up to the bridge and felt the fresh air which made me forget everything I had in my heart.

I took a picture of the place from my phone and then turned to go back to the car to see Zeeshan standing behind me. "Let's go" I said and he nodded.

He added the address in the navigation and then drove off. The drive was silent and I was looking out of the window to find the street all empty, just getting the view of trees. The car suddenly stopped and I questioningly looked at Zeeshan.

"What happened?" I asked and he answered "Wait here I will just check it" and then get off the car.

He came back minutes later and I asked "what happened?".

"The motor in the electrical fan burnt out" he said making me shout "What?".

"Yes and the worst part is that we can't contact anyone for help as there isn't network here" he told me.

"And there is only one way left to come out of this" he said.

"And what's that?" I asked.

We were walking on the empty street for I don't know how much time. No one to be seen and the worst part no network connection. I pulled out my phone in the hope of getting network but no use.

Zeeshan was walking beside me, trying to get a network connection to call somebody but nothing happened. Getting thirsty by walking in the sun in I don't know how much time, I stopped.

He turned around when he felt I wasn't beside him "what happened?" He asked.

"I am sorry I can't walk anymore I am thirsty" I said and sat on the grass on the side of the road.

He walked and sat beside me handing me the water bottle he had in his hand.

"You sure?" I asked and he nodded.

I took the water bottle from him and drank the water till the bottle was half empty, feeling him looking at me I took the bottle away from my mouth and extended it towards him but he shook his head.

I requested him to drink to get energy as we don't know when we will reach back to the hotel.

He took the bottle from me and drank while I sighed in satisfaction.

Sitting there some time I looked at the phone screen which told that the time almost was seven in the afternoon.

"Let's get going, if we just sit here and don't do anything to get back we would never reach back" he said getting up while extending me his hand I nodded and accepted his help as I still was feeling very tired.

We walked and walked "you know what this walking section is not letting us coming near our climax but deeper in it" I said panting after walking for a bit more time.

He laughed at me and then commented "You know what I thought you was the girl in good form but right now you are looking like a lazy child" I looked at him and asked "And how did you get that thought in your mind?" He laughed.

"You remember when you walk up the stairs in the hotel not using the lift" he explained and I felt the air hardly blow through me as I remembered that lift incident on my birthday.

I came back to my sense when I realized that he was waving his hand in front of my face. "Let's go" he said and I nodded while starting to walk.

"Let's play something then we won't get bored" he said and I nodded.
