Forever Together ✔️

Chapter 31

Zain sat near Naaz. He wanted to take her hand in his but then he didn't want to wake her up either. He just continue seeing her.

Zain in mind: What I assume to do? Without a doubt, she is a simple girl with little desires from life. Her life was very simple until I got her here. I want to spare her from each fiendish thing on earth and what I am doing? Because of me, evils can hurt her. What ought to I do? She doesn't love me. But she doesn't hate me either. I made Sidharth to remain here so that she can recover from stress. But what if he would not be here? Will she once more go into depression? I am pissed at the fact that she loves him. I can't see her with him. But seeing her in that stressed condition is also more difficult for me. I will set her free with her love. No! No! No! I will be all alone then again. I don't want to live alone. She is my only family. I don't want to lose her.

Zain was struggling with his inner battle. His love was ready to leave her for her love but then his loneliness was not allowing him to do so. Again there was no conclusion. He slept without coming on any firm decision.

The next day morning Naaz woke up and saw Zain was not there in the room. She wanted to talk to him but then he was not there. She got freshen up and was ready to go downstairs for breakfast. Zain entered the room.

Zain: Good Morning Naaz!

Naaz: Good Morning!

Zain: How are you? I am really sorry for yesterday. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have introduced you to people at a party.

Naaz: You don't need to say sorry. It was not your fault. Except that man, everybody was nice to me. You know the most important thing, you threw him out and I am sure that he would not dare to even think about me in the future. I know your capabilities.

Naaz laughs little while saying this. Zain was not at all expecting this. But then he was happy with the fact that she was trying to understand him.

Zain: Yes that moron is not capable of thinking about anybody now. I just wanted to give you the surety that you are safe. Nobody would not dare to harm you.

Naaz: Haayyee Zain! Don't worry! I am not scared. I know nobody can harm me until and unless you and Sid are with me.

Sid entered the room at the same time.

Sid: I think you people are talking about me. Good morning Zain!

Zain: Good Morning Sidharth! By the way, thank you for last night. You could have overreacted and made the issue of the situation but you didn't.

Sid: I am not opportunist Zain. I already told you I am not concerned about her safety. I know she is safe here.

Naaz: Ok! Ok! Boys! Zain can you grant me my wish?

Zain was happy that she was demanding something for the first time.

Zain: Sure. You just command.

Naaz: I want to go for a picnic. You, me, Sid and Tara. Can we?

Zain got a little worried. He got lost in some thoughts. He was not worried because she could run away with Sid but now he was genuinely concerned about her safety.

Naaz: What happened? If you don't want to then leave it.

Sid: Naaz please understand jaan. We can't go to a picnic now. We have to wait for some time. Please try to understand.

Naaz: Oops! You people are tensed because of my safety? As long as my two friends are with me, I don't need to get scared about anything.

Zain: You are right Naaz. We will go for a picnic tomorrow. I will tell you about the place later. I need to make sure about everything.

Naaz was almost jumping in happiness. Sid was a little worried but then he shrugged his thoughts.

Naaz: Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much, Zain! You don't how much I am missing to go out and enjoy.

Sid: Picnic ki baat sun ke tera pet bhar gaya hoga moti! But I am hungry and I need to eat for survival. So let's go and have breakfast.

All three leave for breakfast. They all were genuinely happy. Naaz and Sid were trying to become friendlier with Zain. Most importantly it was genuine. There was no planning or plotting as such.

While going to breakfast Sid reminded Zain about their talk. Zain assured him to talk after breakfast.

After breakfast, Zain and Sid went to his office to talk.

Zain: What happened?

Sid: I don't know Zain how would you take it but I need to talk this. I don't have any intention to hurt you.

Zain: Though I have an idea about it, please go ahead. I would not jump any conclusion.

Sid: Honestly, when I came here, my moto was clear. And I used to hate you. It was obvious. I love Naaz and I would do anything to save her. And trust me, I have the capability to take her away from this prison. When I say prison, I mean it. Naaz is a kind of girl who has always lived her life carefree. She is the only child of her parents. She is very much pampered but yet very matured. She has not seen any struggles in her life. I was with her in every difficult situation. Actually we both were for each other. When she was my just best friend, at that time too I was ready to do anything for her happiness. And now, I have realized my love for her. We both love each other. Our bond is not ordinary. I can do anything for her. I am able to tell you all these things because I have seen you're the love for Naaz in your eyes. Love can't be selfish. Believe me, If Naaz was not in love with me, I would have never forced her for it because love can't be forced. I have seen genuine feelings for her in your eyes and I respect it. Naaz is the kind of girl, anybody can fall for her. I understand you are not ready to lose her. But Zain please try to understand, she is not yours. But I promise you one thing, you will not lose the friend. And I can bet you will never find a better friend than Naaz. I know, I am talking too much. Sorry.

Zain was quiet. He was listening to Sid very carefully.

Zain: I too respect your feelings. There are my own reasons for which I don't want to talk. But I am not angry with you. And surprisingly I am not much hurt too. I will continue this conversation after the picnic. Is it ok?

Sid said ok happily. He was feeling burden-free suddenly.
