Zain's pov:

"Ahh..! You scared me." I was startled to see him standing right behind me in the dark. I'm so not used to his presence.

"So....did the plan worked out well!! Scaring her with a toy and all?"

"I do not recall any situation where I mentioned you could actually question me." Ughh I totally forgot I'm not allowed to question him and I've no rights to disobey him.

"Relax. I just wanted to be assured as we have the same motive, we can't make any mistakes" I said making myself comfortable on the couch ignoring his raging eyes.

"You think I don't know how to do my work!"

"Beside being such a useless creature, thank me for not killing you. If you have no death wishes then shut your bloody mouth."
in a blink his both hands were on my neck suffocating me to death.

"pl--pl-ea-se l-eav-e m-m-e" it was hard to breathe under his grip. His grip loosen when we heard the door open. Thank god it's Zara. She saved me today.

"Good news! Good news! Good news!" she grabbed my hand and pulled me for a dance.

"what is it? You seem so happy? Wedding date is fixed?"

"Nah bro it's related to Ifza not me."

"Princess? What is it? Come on speak up" I demanded stopping her weird dance.

"Uncle Zafar called us for a dinner TOMORROW!!" She screamed hopping like a frog.

"Seriously??? That means a yes? Oh my god.....OH ZARA! I haven't prepared anything what to do now....help me select a gift for her." I couldn't believe this her parents actually agreed to this proposal. Thank god he'll be happy with me this time.

"Our plan is working" I heard his enthusiastic voice whisper in my ears.
What the hell is he doing here. Zara should not stay here any longer I've to send her away.

"Aww have you ever thought of preparing for exams?" Zara teased me.

"haha very funny now get lost, I've a lot of things on my to-do list......so get lost." I pushed her out of my room.

"Happy now?" I asked him when he made himself appear again.

"Very much" he said smirking.

Ifza's pov :

Following Ruhaan's suggestions, I wrapped this teddy with three, four news papers and covered it with black polythenes and buried it under a tree almost three miles away from my house.

"Where were you Princess?" I heard my dad when he saw me entering like a thief.

"with Ramsha." lying straight on his face, what a shameful daughter I am but I have no other choice either.

Ugh! What a hectic day it was. I recalled all the events when I met this Rude gentleman Ruhaan. Well he's strange, weird maybe but not a bad person. I could trust him.

Ramsh's call distracted me from my illusional world.

"Ramshhhhhhh!!!" I answered the call.

"wow! Everything is fine Ifza?"

"Perfectly."

"soo where were you? Whom do you met today? Spill the beans already."

"Ohh well!! There's a guy--"

"Zain?"

"no idiot why would I meet him. His name is Ruhaan."

"Ruhaan? Never heard of him."

"ahh yeah....I met him at Zara's engagement.Rayyan's friend I guess."

"Ooo....so...how's he? Smart? Handsome??"

" I must say he looks damn hot..." what the hell I just said. Anyway it wasn't a lie and atleast I can be honest with my bestie.

"Woah! So you guys have a thing or something?" she just can't stop teasing me.

"What? Thing? No no no okay. We are just trying to be friends."

"Friends......haan. Friendship trumps relationship baby...."

"Shut up. he's just helping me with these dreams thing maybe he had some experience."

"wow what a dream connection" she said laughing.

"I'm gonna sleep. Bye." I ended the call to end this conversation.

Ramsha's pov :

"Bye!"

Hmm Ruhaan. I don't think he's just a friend to you Ifza. But what about Zain then? How will he react when he gets to know his Princess is crushing on someone else.

Oh my God. Why am I having these vicious thoughts these days. Come on Ramsha IFZA IS YOUR BEST FRIEND.
I reminded myself.

Wow these two have perfect timings. Why is he calling me now.

"Hello Zain."

"Hey Ramsh! Hope I'm not disturbing you?" RAMSH??ugh Zain please don't do this to me.

"nope. Not at all."

"Great. Actually I need your help."

"About Date thing then I don't know much what does she likes."

"Uh-oh not about the date it was an epic failure anyway and because of me."

"Epic failure? Why?"

"Ifza didn't tell you this, I ditched her as I had some work you know."

"Ohh! We didn't had this conversation. So what do you want?"

"Ah-well. Help me select a ring for her.... You know I want to make tomorrow's dinner a memorable event for her.."

"what? Tomorrow's dinner? Sorry I've no idea about it" why didn't she informed me.

"yeah a family dinner.... May be her parents want to fix a date or something.....so I think that's the best time to propose her. What do you say?"

"Wow....so great...all the best then."

"Hey why don't you join us...you know much about her so you can help me..."

"I don't think I'm invited to this FAMILY DINNER Zain."

"Come on sweetheart, don't be so disheartened, I'm inviting you please help me out."

"but Zain--"

"no excuses dear, you are coming and that's final, see you there. Bye"

Why does he always boss around me. I cannot actually say no to him. Why didn't Ifza said a single word about this dinner. Why'd she kept this a secret. I'll not snatch him away form her if she informs me. I hate this act of her.

Ifza's pov :

"IFZA!!! WAKE UP!" my mom screamed from the downstairs.

I hurried downstairs looking for her."what is it mom?"

"Come here and help me in the kitchen" she handed me a list of some food items.

"mom please. Today is Sunday and you know I don't do these things on this day."

"You have to. Zain's family is coming for dinn--" I saw Dad giving her some visual cues to keep quiet.

"wait what? Why are they coming today? DAD?"

"Nothing beta.....it's just a family dinner. Go back to your room, no need of cooking anything here." he ordered me.

"No Dad, actually can I go to Ramsha please, I have some important notes to take down."

"No you can't" mum interrupted me.

"okay but be on time." haha I love him so much.

Instead of going to Ramsh I decided to go the park and he was there just as expected.

"hello gorgeous!"

"Hey Ruhaan. Didn't thought you'd be here."

"still came here to see me"

"I don't get it what's the deal with your overconfidence"

"just that I got some really irresistibly attractive charm,you know."

"oh come on! You ain't the only handsome man here okay. I mean I know few people."

"Ohh please if you are referring to your so called boyfriend then please don't, that would be an insult." he said smirking.

"Very rude!" I frowned.

"I'm sorry just kidding....Kind of" he said playing his favourite smirky annoying smile.

"Why don't we just grab something to eat?"

"Sounds like you do have some manners left."

"After having a super special Chinese lunch I made last time....VERY RUUUDE" he said mimicking me.

"Oh my god! You made all those dishes. Wow....well you ain't that useless at least."

"Ahhh!! It's been a while getting judged like this..gives my overconfidence a self satisfaction."

"heh-!(laughs) how do you do this all the time. I mean you...,you are just--

"hot? Told you Can't resist my charm!" his self bragging chants kept interrupting me.

"YOU ARE IMPOSSIBLE!" I completed my sentence.

"Why there's no one around?" it was a bit unusual and weird there is no crowd around all the time I met him.

"I hate the noise of humans chirping." Now is this a joke ugh! I rolled my eyes. I can't actually figure strange behavior.

"Tell me about the toy and the some new dream?" there was a change in his flirty expressions. I was really having a relaxed day and completely forgot the great warrior missions I've been through lately.

"Ohh I forgot to mention, your idea of burying that toy was an epic success I must say. And great part to this I didn't had any dream today."

"Yeah, okay! I get it I get it. You successfully dumped that toy without any creepy ghost-y feelings nor even dreams. I noded my head said no. Now its-

"Amazing right!"

"Weird." he exclaimed to my extra ordinary never going to be in any problem-happy face.

"what that supposed to mean?"

"Means either you are dumb or something's is wrong here. Or both! Loop hole you know!" his poetic riddles are so not my thing to solve.

"Easy words please!" I demanded explaination.

"until I figure this out, do me a favor and try staying out of the problems."

"okay I didn't get anything you just said."

"Which part of me helping you to get rid of yours dreams mission isn't registering in your brain Gorgeous?" ouch! That was a way too rude. Can't he just talk to me normally like, like Zain does. How stupid of me to compare him with Zain. He's maybe insensitive and impudent but I need his help. Oh Almighty! is this my patience test? Then please give me strength to deal with him.

"You seem lost.Still here?" he waved his handed in front of my lost-in-my-inner-world face as I sat like a statue probably.

"Yeah! Anyway I was wondering if you would you like to join me--" there he goes, interrupting again. Now I'm seriousKY annoyed.

"I would love to, where and when should I have to meet you?"

"Ahh? You can read people's mind? How about today evening for dinner if....if you ain't busy." I made the cutest puppy face I could ever make.

"uh-oh did I just created a problem for myself?" he didn't said this sentence a loud but still I was able to hear his lowest whisper so clearly. Am I blessed with some super hearing gift??

"Sure I would" he agreed. Great! It'll be fun now. I'll make him meet Ramsh and Zain because probably he wouldn't brag more about him being superior.

"then see you in the evening.Bye!" I left giving him the address. I was wondering why didn't we exchanged the numbers. If I would ask him first then he'll get the wrong idea. Never mind.

"Dinner invitation? Let's have some fun."
