Priya's P.O.V
Zara sits down in front of Starbucks with the packets of muffins in her lap devastated.
"How much are these for?" A little chubby girl comes and asks her. She looks at her aghast. Her face pale.
"It's for free." She forces a a smile and hands her over the packet.
"Here" the little girl offers her some money. "I think you need them more than I do." She speaks with innocence.
"She ain't a beggar kid!" I exclaim horrified.
Zara looks at her and declines the money offer.
"Thankyou but no and enjoy them." She says.
"I hope you soon feel better." The little girl throws her arms around her and squeezes her in a gentle hug.
"I am feeling better. Thanks hun". Zara pinches her nose playfully.

It's 7:13 pm and I am done with packing up my stuffs. My shift js over. I dial zara's number. No response. I send her a voice mail.
"Zee I am bringing pizza and bread sticks and cold coffee. Don't prepare dinner."
I take an elevator down and stride towards the hospital's exit gate. Today I made friends and got a warm welcome from my colleagues. The work environment is excellent except that Matt. God he is zara's head.
I take a cab and reach Park Avenue and checking my phone in between. Still no response. I take the elevator up. I unlock my flat's main door and keep my things simultaneously ring zara's door bell.
"Why isn't she opening?"I whisper to myself. Suddenly I start getting negative vibes and thoughts. I unlock zara's door from the emergency key I had and run inside.
It's dark. All dark. Zara hates darkness. I walk few steps ahead and stumble upon something. I fall onto the floor. I stand up shocked and frantically search for the switch. I switch on the lights.
"ZARA! "

Shawn P.O.V
"I don't know doctor what's wrong." Andrew is talking to somebody.
"The boy was all merry in the afternoon. "
I see someone. A man in Italian beard is standing on my left side.
"Shawn is okay. He will be fine." He smiles reassuringly at andrew.
"But why has he got temperature? It's not cold. "
"According to me he has got 103°F cause of a breakdown. Maybe something happened which has affected him deeply. Or he confronted something he dreaded. There are 'n' number of reasons. Depends on the emotional quotient of the person. "
"Thankyou doctor."
"Welcome. This is my card. Call me if you need me again. Talk to the little chap."
"Sure."
Both leave my room mumbling about medicines.
I sit up on my bed. I remember the girl again. Her eyes! Oh no. What the hell!
"Shove aside that thought shawn". I remind myself. She was a hater. No you can't afford to like her. Nopes!! Nopes. I started breaking down again. I spring myself off the bed. I feel dizzy. Maybe cause of temperature. I grab the notebook and pen and start scribbling as fast as I could.
The song writing ended.
"She'll be the one."

Priya P.O.V
"ZARA!!Get up baby."
I touch her head. She is having temperature. I lift her and make walk to the bed. I dial josè number.
"José speaking."
"Hey josè. It's priya zara's friend. Remember yesterday you came to deliver the food parcel at park avenue?"
"Oh yes! How is it going?". He seems to be genuinely surprised.
"Umm. I need some help . Zara is having temperature. Can you please bring some medicines?"
"Sure. Name the tablets."
"Paracetamol. "
"Coming."
He hangs up.
José comes up in another 20 minutes. Meanwhile I rub her hands and switch off the central AC.
"Here." He hands me the medicines.
"How much?" I ask.
"Nothing. Free for friends."
I raise my eyebrows. When did we become friends? I mentally calculate. Doesn't he need money?
"Ah! No. I am a professor LANGHORF UNIVERSITY and I work as a delivery boy as a hobby." He answers sensing my unspoken question.
"Alright! Wierd hobby though."
"Hobbies are hobbies. See you soon. Bye!"
I take the medicines and glass of water.
"Here. Take them." I command.
"I am okay." She answers back weakly.
Tough. I make her sit upright and forcefully slip the tablets.
"Now talk."
"About what?"
"This condition. You had a breakdown. "
She stays silent. But her silence is shouting.
"What is this bussiness with shawn?" I shout irritated at her.
She lifts her face with tears in her eyes. Oh. No.
"Okay. I am sorry. But it's okay. I know you have waited like ages for him. And you gonna meet him after 1 month right?" I try comforting her. No change.
Zara opens her lips to speak but then shuts.
"What zaraaaa? It's not one way conversation! Speak up."
She looks straight to the infinity.
She break the silence.
"SHAWN IS MY EVERYTHING. I CAN DIE FOR HIM. HE HAS BEEN MY INSPIRATION THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE JOURNEY. WHEN NOBODY WAS WITH ME HE WAS THROUGH HIS SONGS. WHAT EVER I AM TODAY IS BECAUSE OF HIM AND MY PARENTS. OKAY? ? HE MEANS A LOT TO ME. A LOT! AND NOT MEETING YOUR IDOL WHILE HE IS JUST FEW STEPS AWAY TO YOU SUCKS! I AM A DIE HARD FAN. OKAY?" she breathes in composing herself.
"Plus shawn literally ignored me. I was crying shouting wailing and he clearly cut me off like I was a street dog! Plus. ..."
Her speech started fumbling. The medicines have kicked in.
"Sleep zee."
Her eyes flickered.
"I love you shawn. I really do."
I switch off the lights and go.
"DAMN YOU SHAWN."
