Zayn’s POV

Devika was with her. Safaa and she were playing with her mini tea party set and Devika was playing along. She seemed to enjoy herself too!

I cleared my throat to announce my presence. Her eyes widened as she looked at who was at the door. She stood up suddenly and adjusted her shawl. She sent me a pretty smile, which I gladly returned.

“Can I have a moment?” I asked Devika. She looked at Safaa. “Zayn, main Devika ke saath khel rahi hoon (I’m playing with Devika) Can’t you see?” Safaa asked me with an adorable pout. I shook my head and pulled Devika’s wrists and pulled her along with me. I can hear Safaa protesting loudly and Devika’s laughter.

The sound made him happy. It was official...Zayn Javvad Malik had fallen for Devika Sharma.

I didn’t realise I had stopped walking until she asked me, “Uh...Zayn..Why are you standing like this?” She asked with a slight confusion and giggled in the end.

I shook my head and laughed. “Just wanted to get to know you better...” She laughed with me and said, “Sure...” and followed me

We went to the swing in our back garden and started talking about almost everything and anything. It was such fun to talk with her.

Devika’s pov

Time flew when I was talking with Zayn. He is a great guy! I got back from his home, with Safaa almost dragging me back! But, Tricia came to my rescue, saying that after a month or so, she would be permanently with them. Me and Zayn both blushed furiously at that and I saw Zayn shoot a mock scowl at Tricia.

I seek blessings from both the elders and Waliyha and Safaa tackle me in a hug! I hug them back and pat both of their heads and smiled. Zayn came over and we shared an awkward hug and Zayn stepped back, rubbing the back of his neck. Waliyha, Tricia and Yaser chuckled at that and Safaa looked at us lovingly.

I came back home and slept peacefully.

1 week later:

Today was the day, we would head to Gujarat. I had to practice for the dance for Navratri. Idk if I had mentioned, but I love dancing! I’ve starred in a few music videos. Some of them quote popular. But not enough to get me mobbed in public!

We reached the airport in Gujarat and were welcomed home. We reached at 10pm almost and went straight off to bed. I woke up late in the morning, I think at 10 or something! Twelve hours of sleep can be so peaceful! <3

Zayn’s family would arrive tomorrow morning! And I had one whole day to practise for the dance with my friends here!

I freshened up and went downstairs. (Dress on side>>) The first sight I saw was my Nani (maternal grandmother) performing a pooja. I went behind her and joined my palms and prayed for the wellbeing of everyone I love. And Zayn’s name somehow made its way to the top of the list!

After the pooja was done, I engulfed Nani in a very tight hug. “Naniiiii...Maine aap ko bohot miss kiya! (I missed you so much!)”

My nani was a 70 year old lady with a wrinkled but pleasant face. She was everything to me! I love her to bits! She gives the best advice and she always scolds, yet pampers you. I missed her like hell in the UK!

“Main bhi....” She said in her deep voice. She had a perfect voice which gave bed time stories the awesome effect! She was also a traditional person. She never missed to celebrate a festival!

“Chal! Aaao mere saath..Tu kitno patli ho gayi hai! Khaana peena chhod diya hai kya? (Come with me! How frail have you become...Have to stopped intake of food and drinks?)” She asked while pinching my cheek. “Nahiii nani...Aisa ho sakta hai kya...? (No, Nani. Do you think that can happen?)”

See, I was a foodie...Till date; I have never skipped a meal except when my Dada (paternal grandfather) died. That day was the worst in my life!

We seated around the huge dining table with me in between Nani and my cousin sister, whom I loved. We had so much catching up to do!

Nani fed me atleast 3 parathas saying I was all skin and bones now! I being her little pampered girl couldn’t refuse!

Breakfast passed and me and the girls were gonna go head for practise! There was me and my cousins! There were atleast 12 of us all together. This was going to be a loooooooong and tiring day!
