Planned By Him(an islamic love story)

chapter 16

"Yeah I'm here to help my friend here," he moved aside to reveal his friend which was........neil?

"Uh, i know you. Ugh! Its just hard to recognise you guys" he groaned. And by 'you guys' he meant the veiled ones- like me.

"Hasna. Remember? From the plane?"

" oh yeah the one hallucinating" he teased and I glared at him.

Both zahir and mark faces were confused.

" He was flying with me from California."i explained them.

"But what are you doing here?" I asked Mark and Neil.

" I um Neils is a detective and-"

" WHAT?" I asked. Mark shushed me.

"What? You're a detective? But I thought you went to school! You look barely 20!"

He chuckled and was going to say something but mark interrupted him by saying,

" and so he is solving a murder case and there is a person who was in this hospital for a few days who is involved in this case. Neil wanted to get some info about him and asked for my help but when I asked mr. Cooper about it, he said we should get a access note from the cops. And unfortunately the police officer happens to know Neil and is involved in the case too and he declined giving some excuses. So we decided to uhm, steal it." He explained.

" Gosh, Mark! You could have simply said it. No need to explain this much." I said.

He just grinned sheepishly at me.

I noticed that zahir has been quiet all this time.

He is grounded, remember?

Ah yes!

"And what are you doing here?" Neil asked.

" selling toffees and candys!" I said sarcastically." What do you think we are doing at this time of a night?"

"Well there could be so many things since you are a girl and a boy...-" he teased me but I cut him off by hitting him with a file I found near by.

"Ow! haha" he laughed.

"Why is he blushing?" Asked an amused Neil pointing at zahir.

I turned to him and to my surprise he was beet red.

" wow I've never seen a guy blush. And zahir of all!" I exclaimed.

He just glared at Mark to hide his blush.

"Wait...she didnt blush but he did which means...." Mark smirked.

" He likes her!" They exclaimed in unison.

"Good choice bro!" Neil patted Zahir's back but he was still glaring at no one in particular. Huh crazy!

I wonder what's wrong with him.

" but wait did she blush?oh okay might have secretly under that clothing on her face!" Mark exclaimed.

" wallahi, are you guys stupid?" I asked.

"And- wait whats walla"

"OKAY! Lets get to work everbody" I cut off mark because i didnt want any more time to be wasted here. Amina might be waiting for me at home.

And after all i feel guilty coming here with zahir because i feel uncomfortable around three boys. Just imagine yourself alone girl with three boys in a hospital whose watchman or peon is a male too.

Dont be stupid you have zahir to protect you if anyoune tries anything- which they obviously wont because you trust them. But then again, who knows?

But I've only known him for-

For what? 3 days? Its been three months hasna since you were friends. you should be trusting him with anything now.

I know and I do....

I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didnt see Neil beside me scanning a file.

" hey" he said.

"Hey. How are you?"

"I am fine. You?" I asked.

"Same. So...uh...got rid of your nightmares?"

"Oh..well sort of because I've got friends worth a life here" I said looking at zahir. He followed my gaze to him. Zahir was in a whisper argument with Mark. Then his eyes caught mine and then he continued with searching for the files.

Zahir n mark squealed at the same time when they found what they needed. Me and Neil rushed to their side, neil mumbling something about keeping quiet.

I looked over at the file in zahir's hands and went through it.

But something very unusual caught my eye....I gasped realising it n zahir n u shared knowing glances.
