"Hello",Jennifer on phone call.
....,no response
"Hey,hello,say something",
.....,no response.
She glared at her phone and switched it off with disgusted expressions.She was coming inside without looking up and Zen was reading his book while walking here and there his attention was on his book he didn't noticed her and due to that she bumped into his chest.She was about to fall he held her waist strongly and pulled her closer which made her hit his chest again giving him goosebumps and she got shiver all over her body.
Her eyes were still closed and she was holding his collar with full of her strength.He warped his second arm around her waist unintentionally and gripped her strongly.He moved his head towards her ear just exactly right beside her cheek near her tragus he spoke softly,"why you always close your eye's like a scared kitten when you're about to fall,hmm?",when he said 'hmm',his lips touched her ear lobule gave her bundles of butterflies.
Her stomach started hurting due to the rush of butterflies and she hurriedly opened her eyes and saw him looking at her with his deep ocean eye's.Her Cheek's turned red,she tried to free herself from his grip but he was so lost in the moment so he didn't realized.
"Leave me",she spoke in a soft tone and blushed cheeks.
He loosen his grip and released her from his cage she took a back step and by avoiding an eye contact with him she walked towards Ana.Roby was staring at them secretly none of them noticed him.He smiled at them and again continued his work.
Ana was looking at Roby with her half opened sleepy eye's.Jennifer came to Ana and caught her staring at her Mr perfect without even blinking.
"Oh you're awake",Jennifer said.
"um,yeah where were you?",Ana asked.
Jennifer told her that she was outside for phone call.Roby stood up from his place and came to Jennifer.
"We are done for today just a few project images are left I've to collect them then I'll let you know",he said and switched off his phone.
"OK,do you need any help?",she asked.
"No"
Zen closed his book and came near them to see what was going on.Roby told Zen that they're free so he asked him for coffee and they walked out of the room.Jennifer got a flashback of the incident which happend a few minutes ago and lastly how he helped her a sudden smile appeared on her face and her heart started racing.
"Jennifer don't be stupid calm down and don't think too much about him I mean about all of this",She said to herself in her thoughts.Someone interrupted her thoughts.
"Mannerless",Ana said while rolling her eye's.
"Why?",Jennifer asked while setting her glasses.
She just shook her head as nothing and grabbed her bag which was on the table.
"Shall we go?",Ana asked with a spoiled mood.
"Sure".
Both of them walked out of the room.Roby and Zen reached home.Zen was continuously thinking about Kyro that how he was flirting with Jennifer.The moment when Kyro flirted with her he felt like someone stabbed him with a knife.
"Relax Zen relax,it's absolutely fine why you're being so serious about this just let it be and think about something else",he said to himself.He smiled at his condition that he was feeling like this for a girl who's not even a friend of him.
He got a flashback of the last incicident which made him blush.
[Zen's POV]
When she bumped into my chest I felt a rush of butterflies in my stomach.She is so cute I mean how she always close her eye's tightly whenever she's about to fall.When I held her from her waist it was like she felt comfort she didn't resist the touch even her grip on my collar tightened.Her body felt cold when I touched her may be it was because of her shyness and fear also.She's too cute to handle.I never felt something like this before.Zen control yourself.
[POV ended]
When he was lost in his thoughts he got a notification on his phone.He tapped his phone to check it out.As he saw the notification bar he noticed 3 missed calls from his dad.
"3 calls from dad",unlocked the phone and immediately called him back.After 3,4 rings his dad picked up the phone.
"Hello dad",he greeted.
"Hello my baby boy,how're you doing?"Mr Jackson asked with a pleasant tone.He was so happy after hearing his son's voice after month's.
"I'm doing great,what about you how're you doing is everything alright?",he asked in a serious and respectable manner as he always speaks with his parents and other seniors.
"Yeah,I was just missing you,I know you haven't missed us because there is nothing to be missed,huh right",Mr Jackson said with a cracking voice.He was ashamed for not giving Zen the time he deserved.
Mr Jackson and his wife Zen's mother were not a happy couple after giving birth to Zen his mom became more mean and never gave any attention to her house.Always busy in parties,friends and shoppings.Mr Jackson was always busy in his business and projects.He always tried to give Zen his quality time but due to business he never found time to spend with him.
Even he always tried to make his relationship better with his wife but she never tried back and never gave any attention to his efforts.His dad was always very kind towards him but due to shortage of time the misunderstanding occurred.
Zen was the only child of his parents but never got the attention of them.He never made any friends in school and his behavior turned cold for everyone.Even on his birthday's his parent's never spent time with him.He always had a wish to hug his dad and tell him about his feelings that what he want to do,what he's doing,what are his goals but everything shattered and now when he was away from his parents sight his dad realized his mistakes.
Zen never complaint about this and showed patience all the time.He never tried to make his dad feel irresponsible.He just wanted to spend his time with him but never even got the chance to talk properly.
"D-Dad,there is nothing like that I missed you",he replied and a tear rolled down on his right cheek.
"I'm sorry for everything",Mr Jackson said.
"Dad"
"I-I'm so sorry"
"No please don't be,I'm very happy that you called me it's the first time you've taken a first step to talk to me you can't even imagine how happy I'm right now ",Zen said while cleaning his face.
"So have to made any friends?",his dad asked to divert his mind.
"Yes"
"Well glad to know who're the lucky one's?"his dad asked.
"Roby my first friend he always treats me like his little brother and I always feel blessed to be a friend of him,Ana she's kind of clumsy she's not my friend yet but she's good we'll become friends soon and....ah",He told his dad excitedly about everyone but then stopped at someone's name.
"And?,Jennifer?????",his dad asked and teased him a little.
"How do you know about her dad?",he questioned him back in confusion.
"Mr Chang told me about you four and your project also.I've all the reports of you and your specials one's"
"S-special one's,what do you mean by this?",he replied nervously.
*fake cough*
"Jennifer Samuel the topper of the college and a very kind girl who's making my boy crazy.He always help her and save her from bullies.The one who always ignore girls is now giving attention to that one girl so it means there will must be something special in her",Mr Jackson said while smiling.
"Daddddddd,she's not even a friend of mine yet",he said in a sad voice.
"So make her your friend,take the first step and show her that you're concerned about her it will help you,ah I'm having a call,I'll call you later okay take care of yourself and remember dad loves you",Mr Jackson said and disconnected the phone.
"Bye Dad,I love you too",he replied and threw himself on the bed while imagining the whole scene of today.
