Hey, Stranger

Why now?

Zarah's POV
"Oh Miss Zarah pardon his childish attitude, mind joining us for lunch so we discuss on the arrangements for the dinner" Came Amir's voice making me to turn towards him and nod a yes, so he directed me towards the door down the lobby to the elevator as he pressed the button I closed my eyes because I had a phobia for closed spaces, I know weird right but there is a story behind that.

Miss Zarah you can open your eyes now we are down, came Amir's voice again so I gently opened my eyes and exited the elevator and headed towards his car which he directed us towards.

A few minutes later we were parked in front of Miemie's Kitchen so we alighted the car and walked in and I swear that was a mistake, I mean me agreeing to this lunch and ever coming here, Oh Ya Rabb please save me was all I could say on making eye contact with the man that ruined my life and burning my confidence so I quickly turned back and ran out of sight running to only God knows where. I've been running for a while and by Allah I had this sudden energy and I didn't want to stop till I got to a mosque so I quickly made wudu by the mosque wash area and made way inside it, I quickly prayed two ra'kahs begging Allah to grant me strength as i fell on Sudjadah i wept my heart out to the Most High.

Amir's POV
I had gone dehydrated looking for her after she took off from the resturant. I sighted her coming out of the mosque looking really pale and as I walked towards her she fell so I hurriedly ran towards her lifting her and carrying her towards the car I didn't even wait to thank the man that helped me before rushing towards the Hospital.
Zarah's POV
I opened my eye to an unfamiliar environment looking around only to find out I was in a hospital and right by my side was Mr. Amir.
" Oh you're awake" came his voice when he noticed that I tried to pull my hand from his hold.

'Let me help you sit up you look really tired and pale' I added before offering to pull me up and sit me upright.I was lost I couldn't remembered what had happened but only the image of the man from the resturant popped up in head making shivers go down my spine and memories rushing back, I didn't even realise I was crying until Amir wiped a line tear that fell down my cheek.
"Could you please not add to your condition you're already really weak as it seems. I think you should call your family now they must be worried" Came Amirs voice breaking me from la la land and passing me his phone.
Me--"Hello, Umma"
Mum--" Er Na (My child) Where have you been? I've been worried sick waiting for you"
Me-- " I'm at the hospital, Mind coming to pick me? You needn't worry I'm okay now "
Mum--"I'll send your brother to you now, take care"

I passed his phone back to him and asked him to help me out of the hospital I could wait for my brother by the waiting area.

About twenty minutes later I saw faisal walk into the waiting area using his eyes to look for me so I stood up and waved my hands at him so he could notice me and yes, he did and he made his way towards me. He didn't ask any questions because he knew I would talk when I found it right.

The drive home was a rather long and quiet one which only made me more sick of myself as the events of the day ran through my mind I didn't realise I was crying until Faisal passed me a handkerchief and told me that mum was already worried and me going in like that would only add to her worries. We got into the house and I was welcomed by my mum's warm embrace, i always found solitude in her embrace. After a turmoil of speeches from both parents I was finally allowed to go to bed after eating and saying my prayers.

Next day
I woke up the next morning with a very bad headache so I called in sick at work and layed under my blanket until everyone had gone out for the day. I stood up at past 10 and went straight to the kitchen to have my breakfast. I was met with the sweet aroma of pancakes mmmhm "my favorite" I thought to myself as the bell rung and I had to stand up to go open the door but not before using my scarf to cover my hair. I was shocked seeing whom I opened the door to and was someone I had never in this life expected, but there he was dressed in his well pressed kaftan and looking handsome as usual I was lost for words but brought back from la la land when we noticed heard a crash from across the street making both of us run towards the incident, I went on my kneels trying to turn over the victim and check if he was okay but I was met by the face of the man that ruined my life, my uncle or should I say the man that used to be my uncle. In shock I got up and ran into the house and bolted my door not bothering to look for my guess in all the bustiling chaos.

Amir's POV
I woke up the next day with the thought of going to her house to return her purse and phone that she dropped yesterday, so after I returned from the mosque from my morning prayer I had my bath and called her office and asked to meet her but I was told she called in sick but was given her home address and so I drove off to the address I was given. I rang the bell for the third time and it was opened by the crazy yet pretty looking figure of Miss Zarah, from how she was looking you could tell she just woke up from bed and was still in her PJ and there was only a scarf covering her hair, I was lost for words and just stood there looking at her until we both heard a crash from across the street and ran towards the scene of the accident. Zarah was trying to turn over the victims body so I helped her and she ran in after seeing the man and by the shock on her face you could tell that she knew him, I called out to her but she was already out of sight I lifted the man up with the help of two other men put him in my car and sped off to the hospital where we were asked for a report of what happened to him and why he was brought there in a pool of blood before he could be treated as it was part of their routine.
I got home after giving my report and that was when I recalled the man's face, he was the same man from the resturant I only wonder what their relationship is that keeps making Zarah run.
