Author POV
It was a tiring day for him. Attending meetings after meeting and visiting his mom and having dinner with her, he felt exhausted after he came to his own mansion. His eyes were pleading to sleep yet his mind and heart didn't allow that. Whenever he closes his eyes to sleep there he saw that beauty. She didn't let him sleep. His mind and heart was fully consumed by her thoughts.
Her beautiful small and soft hand and her beautiful face did things to him. Her milky white skin gave brightness to her face. Her sharp and pointy nose perfectly suited her other features.
Thinking her strawberry like lips which was covered in a thin layer of lipgloss, he felt like tasting them even though he is allergic to strawberries. Her sharp jaw chubby pink cheeks, thin eyebrows everything is flashing before his eyes since he is on bed to sleep. Her lashes were very thick and long like it was almost kissing her cheeks.
He thought what about her eyes. He couldn't see her eyes because she was only seeing the ornament when she told him to take that if he wants. Her eyes were lowered to the ornament while talking. As he is much taller than her he couldn't get a glimpse of her eyes.
He bought that same ornament but didn't feel like to present that to his mom, instead he bought something else for her. He doesn't know why something is bothering him since the time he saw her. He wanted to see her again. He wants to see what's her eyes look like.
It's a new feeling to him. He doesn't believe in love. He hates women who are ready to throw themselves whenever they get a chance to meet him. When it comes to his business, he knows many business partners who are ready to marry off their daughters to him. Who doesn't like a successful man like him after all. But how can he believe in marriage when he himself doesn't believe in love. Some have tried to seduce him while, some women had genuinely conveyed their interest in him. He has never laid them any attention.
Sometimes his best friend Aryaan who is on a business trip to Australia who will return tomorrow asks him, "are you bro, really a gay" Which will anger him to the core but he will neglect him as he is his only friend whom he can trust his life.
Nowadays he is avoiding to visit his mother often only because of Zaina, his cousin. Lately she is behaving odd with him which he didn't like at all.
Only woman in his life is, his mother and his sister Zahra.
But who is that girl he met in the mall. She triggers him to meet her again. He wants to see her eyes. He didn't like his thoughts but he is not in his proper sense.

Banging sound on the door disturbed his sleep. Avoiding the noice he tried to sleep again.
"Arrey Arsh, what's wrong with you? Open the damn door man. It's already late. How on earth you sleep this late?" Came the annoying voice of Aryan which made Arsh to open his eyes.
Looking the clock he got frustrated. It's 8 in the morning. He has to meet someone about their next weapon shipment to Saudi. How can he be so careless. He has never slept like this. He is a morning person. His day won't start without going to his own gym which is in the second floor of the mansion at least for an hour.
Cursing himself he hurried to open the door only to meet his maniac friend.
"Oh man why are you..." His words stopped in the middle seeing his friend's red puffy eyes.
" what's happened to eyes?" Aryan asked confused.
"Why? What's wrong with them?" Came the cold reply.
"It seems like someone is bothering you so much and whoever the person it is didn't let you sleep properly" Aryan spoke with the same confusion.
"Stop your nonsense and get ready. Mr. James will already on his way to the office. You go, reach there before him and get all the documents and papers related to shipment. I don't know why he wants to meet us about their shipment when we have already finalized everything. Something is fishy here." Saying this quickly he hurried to get ready for the day.
" where is your manners? Your only friend is here to meet you after a whole month and this is how you welcome me" scolding his friend he went to do the task which Arsh told.
.....................
His black Tesla halted in-front of that huge building making a screeching sound. Before his guard come and open the door for him he hurried inside the building. It's not like he is afraid of that James. He is a punctual person. He wants everything on right time. And he is a man of word. Stepping inside his private lift he pressed the floor 46 where his office was.
He directly went in to his office nodding his head to his staff's greetings as his response. He was wearing a black suit with red tie which is perfectly tied around his white shirt's collar.
Seeing Aryan already talking to Mr James he made his way to the head chair which is his.
"Why so sudden Mr. James?. Everything is settled. You are supposed to be busy in working on the shipment now" Arsh spoke in dominant manner which made Mr. James little uncomfortable.
"I am here to talk regarding that. Due to some sudden government rule of Saudi Arabia I am afraid that we can't send the weapons on estimated date."
"That's your problem. You have agreed to send them next week and I have paid you more than you asked. When everything is settled I don't like to hear any of your reasons." Arsh told Mr. James sternly.
"I understand that but..."
"No buts and ifs. I will deal about that new rule and you are responsible for the shipment till it reach safely to Saudi." He cut Mr. James in the middle.
"Afzal to my office" Arsh called Afzal through his phone who came there in a minute.
"Contact Zamaal Sheikh regarding our shipment. Ask him to clear the shipment without any problem."
"Done boss". Afzal left there with the order.
"You can leave Mr. James. I won't tolerate any mistakes from your side." He warned Mr. James as he left as soon as possible giving him an assurance.
"So?" Aryan asked Arsh rising his one eyebrow.
"So what?" Arsh asked casually.
"So you didn't tell me who is behind your sleepless night" said grinning.
"I will be the reason for other's sleepless night. I have to go and check the warehouse and after that have some business meetings to attend. Stop wasting my time with your useless questions. I hope you have some business to do too. If you have nothing to do, go and visit your Sumaiya" Arah spoke to Aryan .
"No business is more important than her, at leastI have a girlfriend,I am about to meet her. You enjoy your boring day with these documents and weapons" Mocking his friend he left there.
Suddenly her beautiful features splashed inside his mind.
