AHAAN'S POV:

"Sorry, but yes it's me." She confirmed. I was startled on seeing her here. I mean, actually... ahh I mean nothing. Of course those eyes were the most femiliar ones. The ones who saved my life.

I too didn't got to know when, but my arms automatically encircled her into a bone crushing hug.

"Unm... Sir if you could please..." she said shifting back.

"I'm sorry! I was just... Maya!" I said, still not believing on my eyes.

"On your duty sir." She replied, I could bet she was smiling under her covered face. Her blue sarine eyes were still the same and that is when I realised, not everything changed. Some places are reserved in my heart.

"But I thought, you were a secret agent?" I questioned.

"Actually, I too thought that until Queen Madeeha phoned this morning and asked me to serve you as a bodyguard and your secretory." She replied confidantly.

"Ohh, in that case I should thank Madeeha." I gave her a smile and saw her lowering her eyes.

"Anyways, how have you been?" I asked her with a gentle smile.
Oh My Allah! I'm smiling? Since when did I started to smile?

"I'm good Alhumdulillah, how about you?" She asked adjusting her hijab.

"Alhumdulillah, I'm fine too." I answered and we kept on talking on random life stuffs for sometime.

"Ahaan, you have to..." Ruman bhai slammed the door as he always do while entering my cabin, and stopped between his sentence.

"You are smiling? Since when did you started to smile?" He asked changing his sentence.

"Wo... bhai, meet Maya." I stammered. Ahh! C'mon, I'm not dead. I can smile.

"Assalamualikum!" Maya said.

"Walekumassalam! Well, so this is the reason behind his smile. Thanks a lot girl." Ruman bhai winked at her and my jaw dropped to floor. Wait! What! Was she blushing under her Hijab? Ahaan! Control, you can't let your emotions run wild! At least not in front of your life saver.

"Bhai, you were saying something." I said breaking the silence.

"Yeah, I was. Actually, are you free today? We are planning to visit the city of Zohrab." He said smirking and unknowingly my lips turned to a smirk to.

"When are we leaving?" I asked.

"You are not leaving anywhere sir!" Maya ordered.

'Ahem, so now she is ordering you?'

The devil in my head said. 'Naah, she isn't ordering, or is she?' I questioned the devil too.

"But why?" I asked Maya.

"Cause, you have a doctor's appointment. And at any cost I'm not going to let you miss it. So be a good boy and follow me else, I have just learnt Judo too." She said in the most serious tone I have ever heard. Darn, please Allah, pity me.

"Well in that case, you better follow her." Ruman bhai winked at her and left us alone laughing.

"Shal we?" She asked. Her eyes being too stubborn to repel.

"Can we go back home first?" I tried to make excuses.

"Sure. Queen Madeeha also wished to come along." She said excited, almost jumping on her feet.

Yeah right, so that you and your queen Madeeha could kill me together.

"Sir, driver is here!" She said ending up her phone call, which I too didn't noticed, when she made. She is fast!

Within half an hour we were back home. Ravish bhai and Ruman bhai, already left for Zohrab and the kids were busy playing in mud. I swear if their mother see them in this condition, they are gone.

I hurried to the garden and tried to stop the kids. I ran towards Rudeeha first, but she being so small escaped my grip easily. Next I ran after Rumad. It was easy to catch him but he being Madeeha's son started to fake tears. As soon as I left him, both the twins started to run after me and that is when I realised, they are not less than Nimu!

Maya's P.O.V:

Allah Miya, I never knew Ahaan sir was this dramebaz, I mean how silly excuses is he making for not going to doctor.

Anyways I need to hurry, else I'm gone! I rushed towards the palace garden after picking up his coat and some files. I closed the car door with one leg and hurried to the lawn.

I kept the files on a bench and took his coat along with me to the center of the garden. What I saw there was beyond shocking. THE AHAAN KHAN was all messed up with mud. Two kids, may be of 3 were putting mud on him and he was enjoying with them.

"Ya Allah! Rumad! Rudeeha!" I heard a shout from my back. I turned around and saw Queen Madeeha coming towards us. Freak! Allah Miya, now only you can save Ahaan sir.

"Rumad! Rudeeha! What are you doing? And you? Who are you? Spoiling my kids! Look at your face! Ahh, your face is totally muddy! Who are you? Security! Security!" She kept on scolding him.

"Nimu! Nimu! Bhabhi! It's me!" He shouted.

For a moment I saw Queen Madeeha's face turning confused and then she said, "What the! Ahaan? Is that you?"

"Unfortunately, yes!" He replied and she slapped her forehead.

She brought a pipe that was attached to the water tap and washed the kids hands and dresses. She was about to give water to Ahaan sir when the little princess started to cry. The kids began to fight soon and she left us saying she needs to take the kids inside.

"Poor guy!" I murmured looking at him trying to remove the mud from himself.

"Did you say anything?" He asked.

"Nope! May I help?" I asked changing the topic.

"Please." He replied.

I went close to him and with the help of the pipe gave him water to wash his face and then his body. Soon he was all wet and I had no choice than to follow him to his room. I took his coat and the files and followed him. Oh My! This palace is so beautiful.

I stepped into his room and kept all the things on a chair. Ahaan sir went to the washroom to change into something better, while I adjusted his files. He came out in a blue T-shirt and Grey lower. Hnm, these are also branded.

"Can you stop staring at me like that? I mean c'mon, I know I'm handsome." He said smirking and I almost flushed red.

"I'm sorry. But sir, can you please change into something better, I thought we were going to hospital?" I questioned ignoring his gaze.

"Can't you see! I'm already tired and look I'm suffering from cold and cough. You better call the doctor here!" He said somewhat in his harsh tone. For once I was almost about to cry but suddenly I sensed guilt on his face.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way." He said consoling me.

"I'll arrange for a doctor." I said and left his room.

Third Person's P.O.V:

"Bhabhi, don't you think he is acting a bit weird? I mean by now he would have fired at least 3 of his secretories and look at him, asking sorry from her." Madeeha said to Humairah overhearing their conversation.

"Yeah, I think you are right." Humairah agreed.

"What's cooking?" Ahaan asked surprising them.

"You tell?" Madeeha asked raising her eyebrows.

"It's not a love story this time!" He replied winking, leaving both of them amazed.

"Well, I hope so it isn't." Maya completed and the new duo began to laugh.

"Haye Allah! Ahaan miya! You are laughing? Since when did you started to laugh?" Madeeha teased and all the three ladies chuckled.
