Ifza's pov :

"My head is still hurting, these dreams are giving me tough time..!!" I groaned.

I wasn't feeling good enough so I ditched the college. Ramsha could be mad at me. Last night's dream was probably the worst and why am I dreaming about this Ruhaan these days. What if all these thing's aren't just dreams. He didn't even answered that question. Ugh!!! Idiot!! He could've answered it instead of warning me. Now how am I supposed to know if all theses are true or not. Should I just try facing it?? "Do not get involved. I repeat do not." his words  banged my silly head. I couldn't shook off his warnings which was more like threats to me. 

A text from Zain brought me back.

"Ifza call me asap. I'm worried"

I completely forgot how foolishly I called him at 3am without even thinking twice because of that stupid dream. My heart is drenching in guilt because I left him to die and ran for myself, even though it was dream I didn't helped him. This thought is killing me.

I tried keeping the negative thoughts away from my mind and hurried downstairs. Baba is sitting in the lounge as usual drinking his morning tea. I sat beside him leaning onto his shoulder.

"Baba. I want to ask your permission."

"permission? Have I ever denied anything you asked my princess?" I said no nodding my head. "then why you need permission." he asked.

"Actually..., no wait promise me you'll not ask me anything. No questions and more importantly no assumptions either. Understand?" he was confused but he still promised me.

"Actuallly... I wanted to call Zain here. For breakfast." I said keeping my volume low. His eyes grew wider in shock. "Za-in" he mused.

"Baba please. You promised. And no questions and no assumptions." I reminded him. "fine go ahead" he said still in confusion.

I called him as soon as baba gave the permission

"Hello, Ifza... Thank god you called me"

"Hey Zain,are you free now?"

"yeah just woke up"

"Hmmm... Breakfast?"

"not yet. What about you, you okay?"

"Good. Ah-wanna join me for.... Breakfast? "

"What? Breakfast..... Sure sure... Okay cool.... Ummm... Yeah I'll be there..." his reaction made me chuckle.

"okay then... See you."

Zain's pov:

"What? Breakfast..... Sure sure... Okay cool.... Ummm... Yeah I'll be there..."  I couldn't actually believe what just happened.

"Zara! Zara! ZARA!!" I was a bit excited.

"What is it Zain? Why are you screaming?"

"Hey Zara you won't believe what just happened. You know I'm freaking losing it"

"You are behaving like Ifza said yes to you" she said sarcastically.

"Kind of yes..." I replied enthusiastically.

"Whatttttt? Are you serious? When? How? Why am I not aware? "

"she just called me... She said she wanna have......breakfast with me."

"then?" she was waiting for more details.

"then what? That's it."

"When did she exactly said she'll be marrying you, duffer." she said teasing me.

"she didn't said it directly...but but but have you ever seen her calling me moreover she never offered me a glass of water and today she called me for breakfast....can you believe for BREAKFAST....get the hint dear sister."

" HMMM...my baby brother you've finally lost your senses...congratulations love struck idiot." she said pouting.

"Shut up! Help me pick a nice dress". I pushed her towards my wardrobe.

"Hey wait.... I've an idea I could ask her out....how about for a date?"

"Breakfast date" she busted out laughing.

"no idiot...for lunch date. I'll spend my entire day with her, we'll go out and we'll have lunch, then--" Zara interrupted.

"Then go on your knees, wave your hands and start screaming IFZA ZAFAR WILL YOU MARRY ME...YES ZAIN I WILL (blushes mimicking Ifza) and yeah don't forget the bouquet."

" I wonder how Rayyan is putting up with you" I winked at her.

Ifza's pov:

I received a text from Zain cancelling our breakfast programme and shifting it to at lunch time.

Ugh!! I don't know what his silly and flirty mind is planning now. Poor Zain, he got the wrong idea. I felt guilty about it.

I heard mom and dad discussing about me and Zain and she gave me some weird tips to get ready for the lunch which I don't want to do but I can't escape from this...Oh God!!

Ramsha's pov :

I got distracted while studying when my phone keeps on buzzing and it was Zain calling me. Why is he calling me out of a bloom.

"Hello, Assalamualikum. Zain?" Zain never called me. We only interact through Ifza or if we come across each other.

"Waleikumassalam, Ramsha. Hope I'm not disturbing you, just wanted to ask you something."

"Yeah Zain, no problem I'm free right now anyway."

"If I ask you out for a date, where do you want to go, any special places or something?"

"Wait, what??" I couldn't just believe this. Did I heard him correctly. Was he interested in me. Then Ifza? Oh my God what should I do, how should I react. My heartbeat raced, I couldn't understand what to do next.

"No questions, just answer me. Okay pick one instead. Park or hotel??"

"Hmmm...park"

"Ohh!! Ummm... Chinese food or Italian?"

"Chinese"

"and what about in desert, what do you prefer?"

"Ice creams....but why are you asking me ou--" he interrupted me.

"Because I don't know about Ifza's likes and dislikes....and I remember she once said you guys have same taste in these things....but please don't let her know okay!!" Ohh all of these things were for Ifza..and how foolish I was to think it was me. Jealousy ran over my mind, stupid mind, I scolded myself.

"yeah sure, I'll not let her know."

"Thanks sweetheart. Any suggestions you--"

"Sorry Zain I've to go now."

"yea--" I didn't let him finish. What's wrong with me. I lost my mind. He'll soon be my besties fiance idiot Ramsha.

Zafar's pov :

"Kinza, who left this card here?" I was furious. Someone is digging into our past.

"I don't know Khalid. I haven't seen anyone?" she replied.

"who the hell is this person and what does he want from us?"

"look at the card Khalid, it must be them. But why are they doing it? Why after these many years?" she said sobbing.

"don't worry, I'll never let anyone harm my daughter,no matter with whom we are dealing. I'll take care." I assured her.

"Hello Zaroon sahab" I called Zain's father to invite his family for the dinner on Sunday.

Ifza's pov:

Hey Ifza sorry I got held up. Meet me at the park behind our school.
We'll have lunch over there. See you!!

He texted me the address. This is how you impress a girl without picking her up and sending her the address idiot. And the area behind our school doesn't come under park it is more like a leftover agriculture land more like a orchard.

I reached at the park and honestly I was amazed and quiet impressed by the setup he arranged there. I know I know I hate him but I love surprises and this was just amazing.

But where the hell is he....!!!

It's been an hour I've been waiting for him but he hasn't reached yet, nor answering my calls. If it is any kind of prank he's pulling, I swear I'll kill him.

"Hello gorgeous!" a voice interrupted my furious mind, " thank god Zain you are here." I frowned.

It was Ruhaan. Now how he knows I'm here. Ugh!! I wanted a normal day but these both jerks never let me spend one. God!! why does he look so handsome. What? Handsome? Have you forgotten his misbehaviour? I reminded my mind, which tends to be out of control when ever he's near.

Ruhaan's pov :

It's a beautiful setup her boyfriend arranged for her. And there she comes. Who the hell let her girl come alone what an idiotic pair it is. One with no brains and other with a bit of extra.....perfect couple, made for each other.

It's been an hour and she was sitting all alone. Uh-oh she got ditched and how could I let her wait feeling all misery alone, come-on Ruhaan it's not the way to treat a girl.

"Hello gorgeous!" listening me she frowned turning towards me. "Thank god,Zain you are here"

Damn she looks beautiful.

"Wrong guess PRINCESS" ( Ruhaan teased Ifza as Zain calls her princess)

She rolled her eyes over me and walked past ignoring me. SERIOUSLY!! DID SHE JUST IGNORED ME, IGNORED THE RUHAAN MALIK.

" *Ahem* you look beautiful" I mused. And still no response.

"Are you mad at me, coz it seems like you ignoring me"

" does it? Actually yesterday I had a really bad dream which warned me to avoid the unwanted problems, so I'm trying to do so." great!! I was the one advised and she's using it against me.

"so you think I'm a problem for you" she just rasied her eyebrows saying me yes.

"and you dreamt about it, which clearly means you were dreaming about me, is it PRINCESS??"

"stop calling me princess. And no why would I dream about you, who are you to me, we are not even friends." she wailed and it's kinda fun to see her lie.

"so you want us to be friends haan" I said stepping forward and bending down to her face. I could see her getting restless and hear the sound of her heart beating louder and faster. Her cheeks were pink Now. Did she just blushed?

"No!!" her expression changed. Something startled her and by this time I could guess what scared her. The shadow which chases her and the man from her dream last night who was eating the flesh of dead bodies.

"don't make noise and just run" I tried to hold her hand but she refused my help.

" No! First tell me how do you know what is it and why should I have to run everytime either in the dreams or in the reality? Tell me what is happening"

"I'll tell you everything but for now we have to run" she still refused me. What the hell is wrong with her.

"secondly" she was adding conditions "you have to apologize for your past misbehaviour".

I could sense the shadow coming near to us and she wants an apology. RUHAAN MALIK NEVER APOLOGIZED TO OTHERS!!

"I'M SORRY! NOW RUN!!" I held her hand forcefully this time and dragged her along because I don't want her to be his meal unless I solve my mystery here.

Ifza's pov:

He seriously apologized me and dragged me along with him. How did he know about this person chasing me. Did he had the same dream like me?

"Ruhaan stop" I said panting when I felt the person no longer chasing me.

"I should leave and you don't go back there. Go to your home" he commanded me.

"Thank you" I said keeping my voice low.

"For what?"

"for helping me. And actually I lied to you back there. Yesterday I saw you in my dream and you helped me even in my dream, so thank you." I explained.

"I know" he whispered smirking at me.

" you know??? How??"

"just forget what I said. Anyways you've accepted my apology and I've accepted your thanks. So.....FRIENDS then?" he then moved forward to shakehand.
