As the day marked end. Barq was pacing back and forth. As in he has not seen her single glimpse since they shared the kiss. May be she must be shy or scared. He thought. Done with assumptions, he gave a nod to his idea to check upon her. As he first checked upon his little hurricane who was sleeping peacefully. He kissed her forehead and smiling at her. He walked out. As he walked through the stairs, he heard some sniffings. Which made him narrow his eyes at the shadow of a lady. He was sure, as she was not Noya.

He could feel it.

As he stepped closer to her. His eyes widened, it was Layla. She was pouring her heart out.

Her tears made his heart shrink with worry and guilt. He kneeled down at her level. Sighing, he cleared his throat. Gaining her attention, he passed the tissue paper to her.

"Please don't worry about me" Layla chuckled making him feel more guilty. "Layla... I! I am sorry, but I can't help" he shurgged having no idea what happens when a heart breaks. May be he never suffered it?

Layla smiled with glossy eyes. "You know what Barq? I am nothing but a burden to you and your family. I spent my whole life being in delusions with you! Please leave me alone" she requested with a very helpless tone.

Barq felt like his heart was pounding with guilty and going to tear apart anytime. He sighed and wiped away her tears. "I am sorry to hurt you Layla, I am in love I guess" he confessioned his feelings which he was feeling for someone else. But not her.

Layla smiled and looked away. "Does Noya know this?" She asked in a small whisper. A small smile curled upto his lips, hearing her name. "No, obviously she not. I know she will freak out once she find outs" he says making her nod.

Again a spere of uncomfortable silence surrounded them. Barq sighed again. "Layla, i have no words to console your heart. Please move on" he suggested making her nod. As he stood up leave. Layla smiled with tears.

"Its not easy to move on Barq. "I have included you in my thoughts every moment. You live in me, and I die in you." She whispered, her voice and words hold intensity.

While here, Noya was awake scribbling down something on her diary. Her mind was racing with thoughts, that how will she face him again and why was all this happening to her. Hearing a small knock on the door. She flinched and turned around to find him standing there looking at her already.

Her heart raced and she stood up. "What brought you here? At this time?" She asked in her rude tone. Honestly, she was not liking the fact that her boss just stole her first kiss!

Barq shooked his head and entered her room. "How about sharing a room?" He questioned making her eyes widened. He purposely teased to make her fluttered.

Befre she could say something, he quickly covered her mouth with his palm. "Shhh, no more words. I need your help" he whispered as his grey eyes collided with her hazel ones.

She just blinked feeling the tension between them. He couldn't help but find her the most beautiful woman. She had big eyes and her features were sharp. As in her diet was not proper. He removed his hand from her mouth.

"What kind of help you want? At this hour of the night?" She asked crossing her arms near her chest. Acting all rude. But deep down she wanted to blush and smile at his cute expressions.

Barq gulped and asked, "I don't know, you know I feel like I can't wait to wife you up!" He spatted shrugging to which she nodding understanding but when she literally understood him. She gasped and stomped his feet. Making him whine.

"You wild woman! Can't act sane eveb at this hour of the night!" He grumpily says making her gasp at his words.

"Did you just call me a wild woman? If yes!? Than you are right! I am more than a wild woman" she says making him roll his eyes.

"Alright, how wild you are?" He asked raising his one eyebrow. Smirking internally.

"Me? I'm really wild. When I get angry, I curse people, and than feel guilt and cry!" She says making him chuckle. To which she rolled her eyes.

"You are cute" he says pinching her cheeks.

She turned all red and looked down blushing hard.

"Anyways, go to sleep. Its already too late" he says making her nod. As he walked out of her room. She smiled unknowingly and hided into her duvet.

The very next morning. Barq was not ready for the office. When Amayra dashes to Noya's room. Noya was all ready for her day. "Annie I am sick" says Amayra pouting.

"Oh no, what happened my baby?" Asked Noya thinking she must be playing around. "Daddy said I need to visit the regular checkup" she says feeling all dull. "Oh, cheer up amor. Its just a normal checkup" she says making her smile a little.

As Noya stepped downstairs. Barq was talking on a call with the doctor. Noya found the situation bit strange. She walked towards the dinning area to his mother.

"What's going on?" She whispered his mother.

"Its Hubaab, he fainted this morning" she says with glossy eyes. "Oh! How? I mean why?" She asked.

Meanwhile Barq interrupted, "mom we need to shift him to the hospital" hearing this Amayra let out a cry. She hates hospital. Being a kid, it was worse to explain her why.

Noya hushed her, somehow. She quickly walked to Barq. "What's happening ?" She asked to which he sighed and rubbed his forehead.

"He often gets medical issues, he heart is on the opposite side" Barq disclosed the matter making her gasp. "May Almighty bless him with health" she mumbled making his heart feel better. "Thank you, Noya. Your words means alot" he whispered making her smile. "Don't worry sir, Hubaab is a strong boy, he will make it out" she says giving him some strength. Which he never got.
