Zain's pov :

"you'll have an important guest today" He entered my room making himself appear out of nowhere.

"You?" I asked him hiding my despise to his creepy voice.

"you are so bad at this guessing game seems like your little brain does not work. Does it?" insulting me, mocking me off he could do this all day.

"then who? The other mysterious guy. Ruhaan?" I was a bit shock how did he invited him but yeah he got these supernatural powers, he could do anything no doubt.

"Ruhaan?" our little secretive chat was disturbed by none other than my most stupidest friend Ramsha.

"You know him too?" she continued her little steps into my room,him being around, which is a very bad sign.

"Know whom? What are you talking about?" I played dumb surely. I guess she didn't heard anything except the name. He could of have sensed her if that was the case.

"I heard you calling Ruhaan's name. Were you talking to someone?" and obviously she could not see him. I've already pissed him off and I could not take another chance. Before he gets more angrier ate Ramsha as his dinner I should send her down.

"Ramsh are you alright, I mean no offense but I don't seriously know what are you talking. And who is this Ruhaan I didn't called him--

"but--"  before she could say another word I figured a way out to stop her from talking. Just a normal touch to her cheeks and there she goes, distracted.

"Shhh!! No but and nothing" I said in my heavy sexy voice holding her warm cheeks under my palms. Her face expressions were more shocker and her eyes grew wider when my palms touched her pink blushy cheeks.

"Listen to me. Today is the most special evening of my life and I....you.....your eyes they are really brown and beautiful."  there was a long pause and I was almost lost in her beautiful brown eyes. I actually haven't noticed this distracting colour of her eyes.

"Ahem....um.....I think I should probably go now. I'll be waiting downstairs." She ran as quick as she can avoiding our eyes to meet again.

"You are a d*ck." he smirked at me.

"All thanks to you"  I said with a relaxation smile.

"Do not forget to ask where did she threw that bear?" he reminded me in a very serious tone.

"You easily could find it right. Why bother asking her. Why don't you just directly scare her. That would be more fun."

"you'll never know the fun playing hide and seek with your prey. The moment they think they are free to run is the most appropriate time to attack them." he shared his beautiful thoughts which honestly creep me out.

Ifza's pov :

"Mom is it necessary to wear this? You making things awkward." she handed me dress and a bunch of accessories and cosmetics.

"yes it is necessary now hurry up they'll be here at anytime." she said pushing me inside to get ready.

"Just for a dinner" I reminded her.

" not just a dinner. We are going to fix a date for your engagement." she explained.

"Wait what? No...no no no! You can't do this to me. Why didn't you guys asked me before making a decision?" I clearly had no idea of what they've been planning behind me. Ohh God!

"Well in that case, I'll ask you now. MARRY ZAIN" she said sarcastically mocking me.

"that's not asking it's called commanding which I'm definitely not going to obey. I will not marry him....understand?!" I yelled.

"What's the problem? Tell me one reason why you can't marry him?"  she demanded.

"because I HATE HIM" I immediately thrown a fake frown and she caught me. She knows I'm lying as she raised an eyebrow demanding the truth.

"okay!  I don't actually hate him but I definitely not like him. Atleast not for marrying purpose." I was amazed on my answer. I wonder why I don't hate him when all he does nothing but to annoy me.

"You will. Everyone will fell in love with each other after marriage. So not a big deal."  she handed me the dress again this time it was a bit serious.

"Mom!! Dad!  Please help me. Please tell her that I don't want to marry him." I yelled him to help me as he was trying to escape from the room not be dragged in our conversation.

"Why not Princess? Zain isn't a bad guy. You two would make a wonderful pair." he clearly gave this look that he is not going to support me here.

I cannot win this argument when my two support systems are up against me so I gave up agreed to dress and get ready like my mom instructed. I texted Ramsh to get over help me out only she's the person who could rescue me from the torcher. Till she writes back I decided to help myself with the makeup stuff.

I stood infront of the mirror applying the blush on my cheeks when my mind replayed the scene when the disappearing blazing red eyes man broke into my room. Nothing I could see except his eyes in the darkness of my room that night. I wonder who was he. Why is he following me and torchering me in my dreams. And the funnier part yet another strange man Ruhaan is helping me to get rid off these dreams. Suddenly I remember the fact that I invited him for dinner tonight.

"ugh! Idiot Ifza." I scolded myself on my stupidity. How am I gonna deal with this awkward situation now. I don't even have his number to cancel the plan. Great.

Zain's pov :

Mom, dad, Zara and her beloved fiance Rayyan headed in one car. Leaving Ramsha and me behind as there was no space.

There was a long pause unless I decided to break the silence "Ahem...shall we." I held the door of my car. I could see her expressions getting weird more like embarrassed to sit at the front side with me or maybe the thing which I said in the room a few moments earlier. Whatever.

"You having the ring right?" I asked her watching her expressions keenly.

"No. It's with Zara." she replied me so coldly. Is she getting jealous? No wonder you cannot know the true feelings of a girl behind their expressions.

"Ahhh. Why did you gave it to her. She'll definitely ruin my plan before I could propose--" she interrupted me in an annoyed tone.

"no she won't. Trust her after all she's your sister. She's in your team." she replied. I could see a little bit of anger in her eyes.

"As if you don't know her. She admires Ifza a lot more than me. Remember?" I growled at her. I definitely bet that she's jealous. God. I'm enjoying this. How evil of me.

"I'm sorry Zain. Please don't talk to me now." her eyes were almost full of tears.

"Sorry. Sorry. I was just kidding. See you are acting so weird so I thought of joking around." I consoled her before a shiny drop of water escapes her beautiful brown eyes.

"Well, Ramsh! Do you know something about a gift Ifza received recently. Like a toy or something?" I asked as these girls have no secrets among themselves.

"You mean that gift hamper she received with a teddy bear by an unknown person." she specified.

"Yeah. She asked me wondering that I was the one but it was not me. And honestly I hate the fact someone else sent her a gift." I clenched my jaw to show her how jealous I am by this thing.

"Relax. It was just a wrong delivery. And she definitely hate that bear. So don't worry." she assured me. There she's getting on the point. I have to dig more about it so I could know what Ifza did with that toy.

"Why? I mean she loves soft toys right?" I asked.

"Yeah but this one is giving her a tough time." she said laughing.

"Tough time? What do you mean?"

"She said she had a really crappy and a scary dream because of that stupid toy." she spilled the beans finally.

"what? What kind of dreams?" I asked her as if I don't know this fact already.

"uh...well..that I don't remember anyway it was just a dream." she hid the actual thing which I wanted to know. Clever girl.

"Please do me an another favor and ask her about that bear. I wanted to gift something more beautiful than that gift." I tried to get her in the web of my lies and it did work when she replied "Sure."

Ifza's pov :

The door bell rang. I wished it shouldn't be Ruhaan. I don't want him to know what's going on here. I don't know what's with this feeling but I was hella confused.

Zara entered my room screaming "surprise"  and I was really surprised to see Ramsh with her. I scanned her expression with the corner of my eye which was full of anger  while Zara was hugging me.

"let's go Zain's Princess." Zara dragged me.

"wait. Let me do a final touch up."  I quickly finished my make up and glanced a look over myself to fix the dress.

Ramsha stood there giving me death glares.

"Where were you. I've been texting you." I whispered standing next to Ramsh.

"Congratulations. Thanks to Zain who informed me about this and invited me here to your Family Dinner." she replied coldly ignoring my question.

"Look Ramsh. I get it. You are mad at me because you think I didn't informed you this before but trust me I swear even I didn't had the idea about this dinner." I dragged her to the front yard and explained my situation.

"I did another blunder." I paused.

"What?" she asked me showing no interest.

"I-invited-Ruhaan-for-dinner" I mumbled in a low voice.

"What??? Are you insane? Ohh God! I wonder how Zain would react" she became all furious again.

"it wasn't my fault. No one informed me about this dinner and beside this he's helping me with my weird psychotic problem. I wanted to introduce him to you guys. That's why I invited him. " I explained my situation denying my fault.

"To whom?"  Rayyan interrupted us.

"Rayyan I may need your help." I asked him as Ruhaan is his friend he'll definitely help out in this situation.

"Sure. Now we are going to be a family after all." he teased me.

"I've  invited your friend here to the Dinner."  I spoke nervously hoping he shouldn't get the wrong idea.

"My friend? Who's that?" he bombarded me with his questions in amazement. I guess Ruhaan didn't said him about our friendship. How would he after all I'm his best friend's Sister-in-law. I wonder does he know about this engagement proposal or not.

"Hello? Miss Ifza?" Rayyan waved his hand in front of me dragging me from my lost thoughts wonderland.

"Ruhaan." I said feeling a bit of guilt.

"What? Ruhaan? Who's this? I don't know someone of this name? " his answer left me in shock.

"The guy from your Engagement. You were searching for him for the pictures. I guess he's the only friend who attended your engagement. I met him that night." I gave his more details.

"His name is Saad. And definitely he's not the guy you invited here." he exclaimed.

"why?" I don't know how to react Now. A lot of confusion filled in my mind.

"Because he went back to Mexico that night." every word of him made me more confused and lost. And finally I sighed in relaxation when I saw him walking towards my house.

"Look he's here" Rayyan turned to have a look at him. Seeing Rayyan with me Ruhaan stopped near a tree.

"Where is he? I can't see anyone here" Rayyan exclaimed in confusion looking here and there while Ruhaan was standing right infront of the gate. There was no one else outside except him and yet Why Rayyan is unable to see him. This thought made my knees to tremble in fear.

"n-ne-near the tree" I struggled letting the words out of my mouth as Ruhaan's eyes furious eyes locked with mine. A tear escaped my eye when I heard Rayyan saying "There's no one here" .  While he was still standing there with the rage filled in his eyes.

"Who the hell is he?" I mumbled
