The wind chime was swaying producing a harmonic music, the white curtains of balcony were flowing with the air. She was sitting on the bed a laptop in front of her and a journal placed on her lap. She was completing her assignment which was due tomorrow.

A yawn escaped her lips, her eyes were getting heavier and heavier by the minute. Now she was regretting watching a movie she should have completed her assignment. But it was fault of Beena who took her to watch a movie.

She looked at the cup but it was empty, till now she had drowned three cups of coffee. Her head was aching and the only solution was coffee. She placed the journal on bed and got up, picking the cup she went to get herself coffee.

The hall was dimly lit, it was past midnight everyone was asleep. She padded the stairs quietly and went in the kitchen. She put the kettle on stove and sat on the counter waiting for the water to boil.

"Zahe naseeb"

She jumped down from the counter hearing a voice. When she looked at the kitchen door Samar was standing there looking at her with a mischievous grin. She tightened her scarf around her, she was wearing a T-shirt and tights, she had picked up the scarf just in case.

He came closer to her slowly while she was backing away but the counter behind her stopped her movement.

"I didn't expected to see you here"

He smiled at her, she scoffed at him and turned her face towards the kettle, the water was boiled but she didn't pay attention. She quickly turned off the stove and poured the water in the mug and started mixing the coffee hurriedly.

She picked up the mug and turned to leave but he came in front of her quickly stopping her from leaving.

"Leave"

She told him quietly, and moved again but this time her hand was captured in his, she looked at him with a horrifying expression. She tried to pull her hand from his but he pulled her closer the mug fell from hands and broke into pieces, the coffee fell on the white tiles of kitchen making a mess everywhere.

She looked at him, he was smirking at her. Her heart skipped a beat and she pushed him away from her and ran from the kitchen. Running up the stairs she turned in the hallway and ran in her room. Shutting the door and then locking it she rested her head on it and breathed heavily.

"What are you doing here?"

Her eyes widened when she heard the voice behind her. She turned around slowly and looked behind her. He was standing there shirtless with only his night trousers on. She gulped and placed her back against the door. He started coming closer and stood right in front of her.

"What happened? "

He asked her but before she could reply a voice came from outside. Something just broke outside. He frowned and pushed her away from the door and went outside to check. She clutched her scarf tightly in her hand.

When he came back he shut the door loudly, she flinched from the sound. He looked at her came closer, she backed away but he grabbed her arm and pulled her closer.

"What the hell was he doing outside your room?"

She stuttered and looked in his dark eyes, glaring at her light ones.

"I..ii don't know..."

"Don't you dare lie to me Falisha"

Shahzain was pacing back and forth and she was sitting on the bed. He pinched the bridge of his nose and then turned towards her. She gulped seeing his furious eyes. He came closer, she quickly got up from bed.

"Why didn't you tell anyone that he was harassing you?"

"I was scared"

She whispered and looked at the floor. His eyes softened at her broken state, he sighed and turned around and went towards the door.

"Where are you going?"

He stopped and looked at her, she was scared he could tell by her state. Her eyes were brimmed red due to lack of sleep, her cheeks tinged pink. His eyes raked down her form seeing her dressing he cursed under his breath, she was uncomfortable by his stare, he quickly averted his eyes.

"I am going outside, you can sleep in my room lock the door after me"

He said and left, she walked towards the door slowly and locked the door. Turning around she took in the sight of his room. It was very spacious she could tell. There was a king sied bed placed in the middle. On the side there were two doors one was bathroom and other was leading to closet. A set of sofa was placed on the right side and a big led T.V was fixed on the wall.

She sighed and took off her scarf placing it on the sofa she walked towards the bed and laid down, sighing softly she got comfortable and soon she was in deep slumber.
