"I don't want you to forget him. I know how much he means to you. Remember all those happy memories you shared with him. I know that you won't be able to remove him from your heart. Just give some space for me in there." Zain said wrapping his hands around her. "Give yourself a second chance!"
Hearing this, Esther started crying. Zain hugged her tightly and let her cry in his arms. After sometimes she fell asleep. Zain carried her to her room and made her sleep there.
When he tried to leave she held his hand tightly. Zain thought that she was awake but she was still sleeping. She started trembling in fear and started mumbling. He touched her forehead to check her temperature. She was having a fever. She stayed by her side the whole night and took care of her.

(NEXT DAY)
Esther woke up with a headache and found herself in her room. She remember being in the master bedroom with Zain. Where is Zain? She thought. She got up and found a note on the bedside table.
"I'm going to Dubai for a month for shoot. Take care of yourself. Love you.
-Zain"
It said. She smiled thinking about what he told her yesterday. He is a really good man! She thought.
________________________________
1 month passed in a blink of eye. But for Esther and Zain time crawled like a snail.
' Atlast, Zain is coming back today!' Esther thought.
Excitement was clearly written on her face.
She went to airport to pick up Zain. Zain was surprised to see Esther standing there, waiting for him. He ran to her and hugged her tightly and to his surprise she didn't push him away and also hugged him back!
She helped him load his luggage on her car. Zain looked really tired with all that work and traveling.
"Sleepy?" she asked as they got in the car.
"Hmm!" he nodded.
"Then sleep! I will call you when we reach your home."
"Ok!" Zain said smiling and slept peacefully.
Esther drove to Zain's apartment and even made breakfast for him. Esther was making juice for Zain but he was staring at her doubtfully.
"What?" she asked.
"Are you trying to poison me?" he asked.
"What?"
"You are being so nice to me! Are you trying to kill me?" Zain asked with a serious face. Esther burst out laughing hearing his question.
"Woah!" he looked at her wide eyed.
"What now?" Esther asked.
"You are laughing!" he exclaimed. Esther never smiled or laughed in front of Zain after he confessed his feelings.
"I want to give myself a second chance!" Esther said, smiling. "You are right! I should move on. I thought it over, again and again this 1 month!"
"And?…"
"Let's date!" Esther said.
Zain pinched on his hand. "Ouch!" he exclaimed.
"This is not a dream? Am I hallucinating?" Zain asked.
"No!" Esther replied shaking her head.
"Really!"
"Hmm!"
"Yes! " he exclaimed. He got up from where he was sitting and ran to Esther and hugged her tightly.
" So I am your boyfriend now?" Zain asked.
"Yes, I guess!"
" Boyfriend! That sounds really, really , really good!" Zain said.
" Really? " Esther asked giggling.
