Falling for her

#Chapter-17

Zain's pov: 

On call-

"Hello uncle! How are you?" I dailed to Ifza's father to know her whereabouts.

"I'm fine my son. How are you?"

"Son? Ahem *clears throat* umm...how's she?" I asked not knowing how to react him calling me 'my son'. 

"Who? Your aunt, she's perfectly fine. I'll let her know you are asking for her" he said teasingly. He's a very fun and joyful person. Ifza surely is a blessed person to have such a loving dad. I envy her.

"Ah! Yes please. Convey my regards to auntie." I replied awkwardly.

" Why don't you say it yourself, talk to her" he handed the phone to Kinza auntie, Ifza's mom.

"Khalid stop teasing him." She whined before taking the phone from his hands.

We did the greeting parts and she started asking about how family is and what are they doing right now and blah blah..!!

"Ahh, auntie where's Ifza? She's not receiving my calls." I asked cutting into her interrogation.

"What? She's not receiving your calls. Did you too got in a fight" 

"No" 

"Then what happened?"

"Ugh (sighs) How would I know auntie,she's not receiving my call." I was irritated by her response. Both of them cares and worries alot when it comes to their daughter which sometimes pisses me off. I wish my parents could have shared the same amount of affection as they do.

"She's not home." she replied hesitatingly. Ugh my words would have offended her. It's no time to loose my impression upon them.

"Ohh, I see. Don't worry auntie I'll reach her, no worries." I answered with utmost awkward confidence.

Ifza's pov :

"I need you, to trust me. I've no one else. I wanna be with you, please don't leave me. Please!" he begged.

I looked for his eyes and they were really really attractive. I've seen those eyes earlier in my dreams too, manipulative and magical eyes. They seem so pure and honest which left me in an amusement.

Every ounce of my heart was shouting to stay and listen to his ghost-y story while my brain was triggering the alertness down my spine.

Finally, I decided to trust my heart and his devastated eyes.

"How long y-you? " Completely unaware of how to react to this situation, I gathered few words to break the silence.

"It's been five years." he replied fixing his gaze upon mine.

"How's this possible?" I cried.

"It was a car accident, I lost my life. I don't remember anything about that night but yeah, I ended being like this. Since that day No one ever saw me except you." he paused for a brief moment to examine my reaction which was blank and I stood like a numb statue.

"You are the only one, who could see me, talk to me and even feel my touch. In all these years, you made me feel more alive and human. Trust me, there's no other intentions besides I don't wanna loose you, Gorgeous." he yelped clutching me into his palms.

I was like a cat on hot bricks under his cold touch. His sight was still fixed,never leaving my eyes, making me even more nervous.

I could only hear his heavy breaths and my rapid heart beats echoing in the atmosphere until he decided to break the intimidating silence among us.
