"From who??" Rose voice made me looking up.

"Arr..nothing.Do you want some?"quickly, I changed the topic after hiding the card into my pocket and gave them the chocolate. I didn't wanted them to worry about me.

"Really? Thank you Zahra."Rose and Noor said to me with excitement on their face. I smiled at them and looked again at the card.

Who was actually this man?

What was he wanted from me?

Why he likes to give me gifts?

Why he was hugging me last week?

I sighed and running my hands into my dark brown hair. "Zahra?Are you okay?"Noor voice made me snapped from my thoughts.

I nodded before smiling. "Come on. Let's eat." I said to them and chirped excitedly. We started to dig in the chocolate and it's really delicious.

What?

It's chocolate actually. Who can rejected it. Well thanks to that man we can ate these chocolate.

Even it's still early in the morning, we're chatting and blabbering before laughing crazily with our mouth full with chocolates.

It's made me m felt good and relaxed at the same time because of my mind thought about that man too much.

🔥🔥🔥

"Zahra!" a manly voice shouted my name from my behind. I turned around and saw Nick was running towards me. Groaning, I fastened my steps.

"Zahra,wait!" He shouted again.

"No running at the corridor Nick."I said to him and giggling.

I heard him cursing and then I didn't heard any footsteps following me. Frowning, I stopped on my tracks before turned around.

As soon as I turned around, he was already in front of me towering my small frame. "Gotcha."he smirked and grasp my covered forearm.

I narrowed my eyes at him and then smirking."Not yet,Nick." I warn him, still smirking.

I grabbed his arm and flipped him over my shoulder onto the ground.
"Ouch,that's freaking hurt Zahra."he laid on the ground before rubbing his back.

"My back will be broken. How did you do that?" he asked to me with groaning and moaning in pain. I giggled and looked down at him.

"I learn martial arts." I replied and shrugged.

Actually when I was twelve years old my father taught me taekwondo until I have the black belt. When I was fifteen years old I learnt a little bit of judo and muay thai.

I still remembered my father's words that when I'm not with him I can protect myself because he always saving me from danger.

He's my hero, my superdad.

And I already missed him.

"Well even you're small you surely tough huh." Nick said and got up slowly with still rubbing his back.

Small??

I looked at him then glared my eyes. "Just kidding." Nick brought his hands up liked the surrender way.

"What do you want?"I said and crossed my arms across my chest.

"Err.."he looked at me and rubbed the back of his neck.

"Well....tomorrow I'm going back to my country because my courses already ended. So..I just want to say goodbye."he said to me with soft looked in his face.

I put down my arm to my side and looked at him. He's gonna back home. He will left me. Why did I felt sad at the thought of him leaving home?

But who will be bought food for me if not him?

Who will be the person to fight eith me if not him?

"Zahra?"

I hummed and clears my throat. "I want to tell you something." he said before squares his broad shoulders and straightened his body.

I looked at him and frowned. "I.....I.." He clears his throat and inhaling deeply.

"I love you." he said to me with confidence and in just a breath.

Huh?

"Pardon?" I asked him and then blinking.

Am I already became a deaf?

"I love you."he said again and looked at me with some loved in his eyes. My eyes widen at his words.

"Well I also love you cause you're my friend."I said to him and laughed awkwardly but I saw his face flashed a hurt expression at my words.

"No. I love you more than just a friend."

I looked straight into his green eyes and I saw some sincerity in it. I sighed and when I wanted to talk before he cut it off.

"It's okay if you don't have the same feeling as me. I just wanted to say that you before I'm going home." he said to me with a disappointed looked on his face.

"Actually I love you when the first time I saw you at the hall at the day we have the instructions. I fall in love with you at the first sight." he laughed awkwardly and gave me a fake smiled.

I was shocked and speechless. He fell in loved with me at the first sight. But I didn't have the same feeling like him.

"I...I'm sorry Nick. I don't have the same feeling as you. I love you not more than just a friend." I looked at him with soft look and smiled. He smiled back and nodded.

"It's okay. So, this is going the end for us?" he said and stared at me.

"No..of course not. We can always contact each other. You already have my phone number,right?" He nodded but still staring at me.

"Zahra. I will always love you. Your name will always have the place inside my heart. No one will take the place. You're the only my little girl." he looked straight into my eyes and smiled widely.

I'm speechless for the second time. He chuckled and then bent down and kissed me at the top of my covered head before I can reacted.

"My little girl." I heard him whispered on my ear before turned around to walk away from me without any glance.

I looked at his back with still a shocking face and staring at him until he disappeared from my eyes. I sighed and looked down.

He love me?

That's why he wasvalways took care of me. Bought some some food for me. Always annoyed me. Made me laughed. Made me happy.

I ran my hands onto my face then looked up at the place that Nick walked away from me.

"Goodbye, Nick. You will always be one of my best friend ever. I will not forget you till the end of my life."

🔥🔥🔥

4 months later

I put my arm on the table and laid my head over it. My schedule become more busy than it's usual. This was because next week my courses already ended and I can went home.

After the day Nick left, one weeks later Rose also going back to her own country. Two months later Noor also finished her courses.

I pouted because I already missed them. I missed how Rose always mad at me. I missed Noor who always woke me up to pray.I missed how Nick always annoyed me.

I missed all of them very much.

"Huh."a sighed came out from my lips.

Suddenly, I heard someone was knocking my door."Come in."I said and then looked up to see a nurse entering my room.

"Doctor Zahra a patient needs right now." she said worriedly.

"Come on."quickly, I picked up my white coat and my stethoscope before ran out towards the patient.

These job became my routine for this couple of months. As a doctor I loved to help people who were in need.

🔥🔥🔥

I opened the door before entered my room. My legs walked towards the couch and threw my body over it. I stretched my body and heard the sound of bones cracked.

I smiled because it felt so good. I glanced at the watch on my left wrist and saw it's already late midnight.

Now, I didn't have any patient anymore or some worked so I can went to the hotel back. I got up from my position then picked up my purse and sling it over my shoulder.

Walking out from my room, switching off the lamp and close the door. I looked around the hospital and it's already quite.

Slowly, I walked towards the main door and saw there's not many car left parked around the parking lot. I hugged myself as the air brushing against my body.

Then walked towards the bus stop and decided to take a taxi. I sighed because I always went back to the hotel together with Nick or Rose.

I sat on the bench and searching my phone in my purse. I unlocked my phone and saw there's many missed call and messages.

2 missed calls from Nick.

2 messages from Rose.

I opened the message from Rose and read it.

'Ara,I miss you baby .If you're free call me. ASAP.'

Then read the next message.

'Huh,you didn't love right? That's why you didn't reply my message. I hate you.'

I chuckled at her message. Quickly, I type on my phone to reply her message.

'I know you love me.My baby.'

I smiled at the message before put back my phone into my purse. When I looked up, I saw a white van parked at the other side of the road.

I gulped down and got up after searching around if there's any taxi around. And to my bad luck there's none. I looked at my watch again and saw it's already 12.35 p.m.

Maybe, I can walked by myself because it's just take for 15 minutes to reach the hotel. I looked back at the white van at the corner of my eyes and decided to walk.

I grasp my purse tightly and started walking. As soon as I walked the van was also moving. I fastened my steps and took a glanced at the van that still following me.

I guessed they wanted to kidnap me.

I shivered at the thought and moved faster. When I looked at my right side the van was already stopped beside me.

I screamed before ran very fast. I ran without realising that I took the wrong destination to my hotel.

Stupid Zahra!

I looked around and saw the black van was near. I turned around the corner and found a dark alley.

Once again I'm so stupid!

I groaned and thinking very hard to search a good place for me to hide for a while. And I found nothing because the alley was just a dead end.

I'm going to be kidnapped and killed.

I heard some manly voice talking with the footsteps already walking towards my place. I leant against a wall behind me with my heart thumping roughly against my ribcage.

I started to pray and hoping that the man will not found me. I looked at the floor and saw the shadow of the man was just right beside me.

I closed my eyes tightly and continued to pray. My breath hitched when a hand covered my mouth and a pair of muscular arm wrapped around my waist tightly.

"Don't scream." a familiar husky voice whispered against my ear.

"Boss there's nothing here. She already ran away." the man that was following me shouted to his boss before walked away.

When I heard nothing around me ,I sighed in relieved. But, I gasped when I realised that a hand still covered my mouth.

As soon as I opened my eyes, it's widen when I saw a dark figure in front of me because I can't saw his face that was covered by a hoodie.

I screamed but it's muffled because of his hand still closed my mouth before I bit into his palm hardly.

"Ouch."he let go my mouth and waist to rub his palm.

I ran as soon he didn't paid attention but he already grasp my forearm. "Not so soon my baby doll."he said and chuckled.

I smirked at him then grabbed his arm back to flip him over my shoulder. But what I got was he's really fast, now he held me with grabbing both of my arm and put it over my stomach while he hugging me from behind.

I gasped because no one ever dodge all my attack even he was a guy. He was the first person who beat that. I started to struggle and wiggling against his held.

"Don't move baby doll. I miss you so much." he said, tightened more his muscular arm around me.

My eyes widen when he said that nickname. The only one who called me using me that nickname was the 'DXL' guy. My heart become more thud fastly before my eyes widen when he put his head on the top of mine.

"I don't like the day that the stupid boy kissing your head. It's only be me to touch you. To look at you.To kiss you. You're mine."he said with some coherence in his voice.

"Let me go. I'm not your property. Who are you? "I started to struggle more when he said that word. It's made me became more terrified.

"No."he growled and tightened his arm more.

I inhaled deeply and stopped struggling. AstaghfirullahAlAzim. I didn't liked man touching me. It's a sin in my religion.

I have to find my way to escape from him. I closed my eyes and think hardly. But, he distracted me when he moved his head on the crook of my neck to inhale my scent.

What's wrong with this man?

He's Crazy.

I smirked when I already have a way in my mind. I bent down my body and kicked him at his shin. He loosened his arm and moaning in pain. When I started to run again he grasp my hand again.

Not this time, man.

I smirked and grab his arm and flipped him over my shoulder onto the ground. When he still groaning and moaning in pain, I ran away.

And to my luck once again a taxi stopped right in front of me. My eyebrow furrowed but I ignored it and entered the taxi after opened the door.

I looked up at the window and saw the man opened his hoodie, I was right he was really the 'DXL' named guy.

I shivered when he looked straight to my eyes and when I wanted to tell the driver my hotel address he already moved. He drove into the right place without me telling him.

Frowning, I take out the money from my purse and gave him. "It's okay,miss. Someone's already paid it for you." he said, smiling.

My eyebrow furrowed and I smiled back to him. "Thank you." I said to him softly. He nodded and I walked out from the taxi after opened the door.

I looked back at the taxi to ask the driver who paid the fare but it already drove away. I sighed and entered the hotel.

I threw my purse at the couch and my body onto my bed. My mind wandered about today's that has many incident happened to me.

I unwrapped my hijab and put it at my pillow beside me. I ran my hand on my face and my dark brown hair as a sighed escaped my lips.

There's so much happened.

I ignored all my thoughts and decided to take a bath. Before my legs can stepped into the bathroom, I heard my phone was ringing.

I ran towards it because it could be from Rose. Picking it up and unlocked it to see a message from an unknown number making me frowned but I opened the message.

I'm glad that you're already safe at your room. I paid the taxi earlier and the other day we met so you can save from danger. I already told you. I will always watching you. I love the way you fight back baby doll. Even you're smal,l you sure a tough girl.
Remember you're mine.
Only MINE.
-DXL

My eyes widen as I read the message over and over again. He couldn't be the same guy that I met before.

Was he stalking me for all this time?
