I was not able to sleep whole night. I wake up in the morning with dark circles...
On the breakfast table my mother got worried
"Zumar...!! What happened..? Why are you not eating anything.. all these things are your favourite..." She interrogated.
"Are you worried about your exams...? see there are dark circles around your eyes... Now, your exams are over take proper rest..." she advised.
"ok..." I replied and started struggling with my food as I was not feel like eating anything.
I came back to my room and lie down on my bed .. I kept on thinking about him...
In the evening, I took his gift and fairwell note and knocked on his house gate... But no one answered... I knocked it again n again but no one came out. I went back and asked my mom about their whereabouts...
"Zayden's Uncle's family met with a fatal accident and the whole family died on spot..."
she informed... "and because of this shocking news his Grandma got heart stroke and she is in the hospital struggling with life and death, their whole family is in chaos.... they all went to the neighbouring city where his grandma is admitted"
I was not able to speak a single word after hearing this shocking news. I went back to my room and tried calling him. But was not able to reach him... I could understand his situation. He must be very disturbed and distracted. University entrance was in few days time. I just hope that he would be able to do well. He always wanted to get admitted to the topmost Management college of the country. He worked hard for that. He was an all-rounder student, perfect in everything. I was feeling useless as I couldn't help him with anything. Even his phone was not reachable so that I could deliver him some consoling words. I felt like I was good for nothing. I just kept on praying for him and was waiting for his return.
Finally my prayers were answered, I saw him coming out from his car a day before the University entrance. I took a sigh of relief and ran towards him. He came alone.
"How are you Zayden.... Is everything alright..?" I asked.
"Yes, now everything is almost settled... " he replied..
"Thank God...!!" I exclaimed.
"Are you worried about me...?" He asked smiling.
"Yes, I am worried about you... I mean your entrance.... tomorrow...." I sluttered.
"I am fine, don't worry..." He rubbed my head.
"Let me help you..." I offered my help carrying some of his luggage..
"No thanks... I can manage.." He replied.
I rushed back to my home and ask my mom to prepare some refreshment for him and I went to kitchen to prepare a coffee.
I knocked his door and he came out. He might have taken shower and his wet hairs were on his forehead dripping with water drops giving him a very sexy look. I blushed and looked down.
"You must be tired, Mom send these things... please help yourself..." I offered him the things I brought for him..
"Come inside..." He invited me.
I arranged the things on the table and offered him a cup of coffee. He took the cup but his phone started ringing... I think it was his mom. He was talking to her and I was watching him as I was not able to see enough of him for the last few days. He finished talking and turned back...
"Have you seen enough...I think I have grown more handsome..." He teased me.
"Narcissist..." I murmured.
"Coffee is great..."
"Thanks... you can have some more..." I offered him
"You made the coffee... it's really good..." He again appreciated me and looked into my eyes.
His eyes were very seductive, I started feeling nervous. I wasn't able to understand what should I do so I took the dishes in the kitchen for washing.
"Let me wash these dishes.... you get busy with your work.." I said to him.
"Thanks Zumar for all this... but leave these dishes I can do that .." I don't know when he came to the kitchen.. just behind my back
I got shocked...
"What happened Zumar... why are you so nervous...?" He asked.
"Nothing... I just got startled..." I replied... "Let me finish these and then I will take my leave.... you just go and prepare for your exam
" I smiled
"Ok... then, I have to thank you..." He went back. I finished all the dishes and then knocked on his study...
"Come in..." He said.
"Sorry to disturb you... I just came here to inform you that no need to prepare for dinner I will bring that for you.... please tell me your preference... apart from that if you want anything or any help please don't hesitate to call me...."
Thanks a lot for all your care... I am fine with anything.... just don't tire yourself too much... if I need... I will call you .. once again thanks...." He smiled with gratitude. I left him and went back home satisfied.
