A Prayer For His Heart

She was his junior, and he was her senior.

She admired him in secret, while he remained completely unaware of her existence.

She prayed to marry him and he prayed to marry another woman.

She loved him wholeheartedly, and he did too-but he loved someone else.

It was a hospital. As usual, there were many accident cases. A man's body, covered in blood from multiple injuries, lay on a stretcher.

"Nurse, get the patient's details and contact his family, quickly.", the doctor said.

Zoya, who was heading to her department, noticed the commotion.

"Another accident case," she thought, feeling sympathy for the person.

"Ya Allah, please save him," she prayed. As she was about to leave, her gaze fell on the person lying on the stretcher.

She froze, recognizing him, unconscious and covered in blood.

"Shaan?"

"Ma'am, none of his family members are answering the call," the nurse informed the doctor.

Hearing this, Zoya felt tears streaming down her face as she looked at him. She stepped forward.

"Ma'am, what happened to him? Please, treat him quickly," she pleaded to the doctor.

"And who are you to him, miss?" the doctor asked.

Zoya hesitated.

"His... friend," she replied.

Zoya is a Microbiology student currently pursuing her PhD at Aurobindo College and Hospital. She completed her undergraduate and postgraduate studies at SSR College. An introvert with very few friends, she rarely speaks and has little interest in boys. She loves spending time in the library-a true representation of a typical "nerd."

Shaan, on the other hand, is a software engineer who completed his M.Tech at SSR College. He is an ambivert with a small circle of friends. While he speaks little around strangers, he opens up and talks a lot, once comfortable. He loves attending parties and would go to any extent to prove his love-a classic example of a charismatic yet reserved personality.
