As Eifad walked towards the Star buck's outlet she felt like someone is following her. But whenever she turned around there was no one. She glanced at her watch, 7.30pm. Today, she got late. In one hour Kim and Kiran will be coming to her place. But before that she wanted to talk to Farhan.
As she crossed the road, a cab stopped in front of the outlet and Farhan came out.
'Hey.' He greeted her with a smile
'Good to see you are early.' Eifad taunted him. Farhan didn't seem to mind, he simply shrugged smiling at her.
'What is wrong?' Farhan asked as they climbed the stairs leading to the coffee shop. He noticed Eifad glancing back restlessly.
'Nothing' she said looking front again. Farhan also looked back.
As Eifad could take another step, Farhan held her shoulders and ducked with her.
And then, there is a loud gun shot and the shattering of the glass window. Eifad and Farhan fell on the ground.
There are chaotic screams as people began running around them. Eifad opened her eyes, her elbow and knee hurt but she isn't bothered about that.
'Farhan!' she called out terrified.
'Ei...Eifad...' he replied. She sat up and saw Farhan on the ground. Since he was right of her close to the window, the shattered glass piece has gotten into his palms. Eifad panicked and kneeled beside him.
'Oh God, Farhan.' Eifad tried to make him sit. Farhan sat on the stairs. Eifad noticed scratch marks on his face as well but thankfully no glass piece has gotten into his eyes or anywhere in his face.
Farhan yelped and Eifad winced as she took out pieces of glass from his palms. There is a stillness now, the outlet empty.
Eifad could feel eyes on them, eyes of people living around and passerby. But Eifad couldn't care, she is too worried for Farhan.
'Just wait...' she asked him and rushed inside.
Eifad got a glass of water and kneeled beside him. She helped him drink, she then quickly dialed Tansen and called him. She then looked at Farhan, seeing him wither in pain made her teary eyed. Her heart beat accelerated rapidly.
Tansen arrived and drove like a wind to the hospital.
'Eifad, these are just scratches...' Farhan said
'Shut up...see so much blood...God!' Eifad panicked, she then yelled at Tansen to drive faster.
******************************************************
'GET A DOCTOR, DR. SHEKAR...GET HIM...' Eifad roared at Mr. Saxena who stood at the entrance waiting for her. He nodded and rushed. Two nurses came hurriedly towards them and helped Farhan to the general ward. Eifad followed, her knees hurt but she couldn't care less. On their way, Kiran saw them.
'What happened Maam?' she asked but Eifad ignored her and walked into the ward following Farhan and the nurses.
'Thankfully, the cut isn't deep. But there are many cuts...All over the palm.' Dr. Shekar said bandaging Farhan's wound. He nodded listening to the doctor.
'Will he be okay, Doctor? Anything serious?' Eifad asked concerned. Dr. Shekar smiled shaking his head. He then prescribed some medicines which Eifad said she will have Tansen get. The doctor nodded and left patting Farhan's shoulder.
'That bloody loser...Idiot... Rascal... it is all that...Moron's doing.' Eifad paced angrily. Farhan kept staring at his palms, both bandaged. Thankfully, his fingers are free else it would have been difficult. With great difficulty, he picked up a hand mirror. He touched his face, there are many bandages there as well.
Farhan snapped out of his staring phase only when he heard Eifad say something about murdering Gaurav. He looked up alarmed. Eifad had pulled up her sleeves and is about to rush towards the door when he called. Eifad froze, she quickly turned around and hurried to him.
'What happened, Farhan? Is it hurting?' she asked urgently.
Farhan shook his head, he smiled at her. He is loving her concern, it is rare, very rare to see her care for someone so deeply.
'I am fine, Eifad and you need to relax.' he said calmly
'Why? That b****** had the audacity to get a gunman to kill me and you... why the hell did you come in between, you should have pushed me or something...what if something had happened to you?' Eifad said in a go. Farhan's smile widened.
'What if something happened to me?' he asked raising his eyebrow. Eifad froze with her mouth hanging open. She blinked at him as though processing what she had said.
Eifad composed herself and said, 'then I would have lost a very good friend.' Farhan kept looking at her with his eyebrow raised. Eifad glared at him folding her arms.
'And why did you risk your life?' she asked to divert him.
Farhan smiled sadly, he shifted in his seat. 'Because I lov...'
'Maam.' Mr. Saxena interrupted them. Both looked at him. Farhan mentally sighed sadly.
