This chapter is dedicated to eristaaa21. A very Happy Birthday dear....I hope you all like the chapter.

After finishing all my work, I packed all my stuffs, tightened my hijab before leaving my cabin. Before going out of the office, I was continuously calming down myself. I didn't wanted to go home because today I didn't have any more strength left in me to face any things.

I sat down beside the reception, and drank water. After thinking alot, I decided to stay the night at Muskaan's place as it is tomorrow I've to reach here early. Since Muskaan stays alone, so I don't have to worry about anything. But first I need to ask from my Uncle. I quickly called him.

"Yes dear" he said as he picked up my call.

"Umm..Uncle, I need to take permission from you" I said biting my lower lip.

"What permission dear?" He asked calmly.

"Can I stay at Muskaan's place today? Actually, my boss has called me tomorrow early in the morning at five am. It's already eleven now and Muskaan doesn't stay far from here." I said.

"Dear, you don't have to give any explanation. I know why you don't want to come home today. It's okay, I understand. Stay safe and if anything happens call me" he said.

"Yeah, Okay. Thank you, Uncle" I said and ended the call.

Then, I texted Muskaan that I'll be staying at her place, in result she spammed my cell because she was over excited.

I was now waiting for a bus or cab, but they both seemed to be angry with me because they are not coming. I sighed, I looked at my cell but it was useless, Muskaan kept on sending me texts. I was waiting on the side pavement when a black BMW stopped right in front of me.

The driver's seat opened and a man got out dressed in a black suit. When he turned, my jaws dropped.

"Hey" he smiled as he waved at me.

"Hii, my same title brother" I grinned.

Imran scowled.

"Am I mad or what that I'll become your brother!!" he said. I laughed. "Anways, what are you doing here at this time?"

"Waiting for the bus or cab" I sighed.

"Why so late?? Does your shift end at this time??" He asked

"No...but today I had a lot of work. That's why, I got stuck!!"

"Ohh..okay, then come, I'll drop you to your home." He said.

"Oh no no...thanks. But I'm not going home now, I'll be staying at my friend's place."

"Ohh..then I'll drop you at your friend's place"

"No no, thanks again. I'll manage"

"How? Because I can't see any mode of transport here" he said

Yup, he was right. But he's a stranger, I don't know him also, but I can't even stay here also, it's already midnight.

"Now what are you thinking?? Don't tell me that you still think me as a stranger." He said and I just smiled.

"Oh God!!! And here I thought that we're friends" he said facepalming. I laughed. But at last, I agreed.

"So what do you do?" He asked

"I work as a head manager" I said.

"Apart from working"

"I rest, sleep, watch TV" I shrugged

"Wao...what an interesting person you are" he said sarcastically. I laughed

"And what do you do?" I asked

"You mean apart from bumping with you" he asked I again laughed

"Yesss"

"I give lifts, I share the same title with a beautiful girl, who ofcourse is not my sister and I'll never make her my sister. And I do have a cell which is of no use"

"Why??"

"Because, it doesn't have your number" he said and I again laughed.

"God, Imran...you're so funny"

"You laughed, that's the most important thing for me." He smiled

"Thank you"

"For what?"

"For making me laugh...lately I've been in a lots of stress"

"What are friends for? We are na friends?"

"Ofcourse ofcourse"

"Then, your number please"

"Next time" I said as he stopped in front of Muskaan's gate.

"That means I have to again bump with you" he said opening my gate.

"Good then, at least you'll not disappear like before" I said getting out.

"I'm really sorry for that evening. I got a call and then I've to leave suddenly."

"It's okay, I was just kidding" I said. "I should get going now, I've to leave early morning for office"

"Early morning??"

"Yeah, five!!" I groaned.

"God, who calls at five in the morning?"

"Well, that's my boss" I said.

"Don't worry, I'll come to pick you up" he said.

"No, Imran...I'll go by myself."

"No, I don't want to hear anything from you"

"Fine then, I won't give you my number"

"Blackmailer" he scowled. I laughed.

"Once again Thank you and now finally good bye. Good Night." I said walking towards her door.

"Good Night...Ta ta ta" he said waving like a child making me again laugh. He sure is a cartoon.

I rang her doorbell and she jumped on me with her questions bombarding. God, this is gonna be a long night. I sighed.

My alarm clock was very much punctual. It started ringing right at four thirty. And I hate my Alarm Clock for it's punctuality. I groaned and threw the Alarm Clock on the floor. Guess, I'll have to buy a new one.

I woke up got freshened up since I didn't have my new set of clothes, I had already borrowed Muskaan's clothes for today. I quickly got out and prayed fajr. After praying, I got ready properly and then I left for the office. I knew I was running late but I can't help it. I'm a human not a robot.

Muskaan was sleeping so I left quietly, not wanting to disturb her morning sleep unlike mine. She didn't have to pray so she was sleeping like a horse!! When I got out of her house, I saw a car was parked, outside her house and a driver was standing. I ignored and continued walking.

"Excuse Me, Miss." The driver called.

"Yes?" I turned and said.

"Are you Miss.Hooran Ahmed??" He asked.

"Yup, that would be me"

"Mr.Imran Ahmed has sent this car for you. He has asked me to pick you up and drop you at the desired destination." He said.

"What?? No, that's not possible!!" I blurted.

"Yes, it is, Miss. Please this way Mam" he said gesturing me towards the car.

"No no, please. You don't have to trouble yourself. You can go please. I'll manage." I said.

"No Mam, you're not understanding. If you won't come, then Sir will fire me" he said in a low voice.

"Ohh, Imran. What to do with you!!" I muttered before getting in the car.

After settling down properly on the back seat and giving the address to the driver , I found a card and a rose. I opened the card and there was a message written.

Good morning,
A pretty rose for a pretty lady,
Whose number is still not saved in my cell,
As promised, I didn't came to pick you up but my car did because my car didn't promised you to not to come.
I hope you enjoy the ride.

And yeah, I know you'll miss my awesome presence in the car so I've sprayed my perfume in that rose.

Now whenever you'll smell that rose, you'll not miss me ;-)

Have a great day ahead...but don't forget to bump with me. ;-) ;-)

"Flirt" I muttered and smiled. And yes I did smelled the rose, it was smelling like him.

Since, It was morning, so there was no traffic... because of which I reached office in ten minutes. I thanked the driver and told him to thank Imran also. I went inside the office when guard told me that Sir wants to see me.

I sighed and mentally prepared myself for the bomb blast. I went to his cabin and knocked twice before he said Come in.

"Good Morning, Sir, guard told me you wanted to see me." I said.

"Yes, here are some files, just go through them and whatever the outcome is mail me. After you finish mailing then make a presentation regarding the sales margin." He said and my eyes bulged out. He really think of me as a Robot!!

"Okay Sir" I agreed because it's useless arguing with him.

"And Miss.Ahmed, I wanted you to be here at five not at five ten" he said.

"Well Sir, then let me tell you, unlike you I don't have my private cars. And like common people, I've to depend on public transport. Last night you made me work over time due to which I didn't found any transport who can drop me home safely. Well, thanks to my friend, who came at the right moment and gave me a lift.

But you're torture doesn't end here. You called me here at five in the morning, without even thinking that how difficult it'll be for me." I yelled.

"If you would have gone home last night then you would have known, that I've sent a car for you in the morning. But since you decided to stay at someone else's place and come in someone else's car, then it's not my fault!!" He roared. As it is the office was empty so his voice echoed all around.

"What's your problem? Me coming office ten minutes late or Me coming in someone else's car??" I was now confused.

"Just leave right now, before I lose my temper" he barked gripping his chair so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

"What's more to lose?? You're already shouting and angry!!" I blurted.

"Miss.Ahmed" he yelled at the top of his voice.

"Okay, Geez...calm down. I'm leaving!!" I said and left his cabin.
