Chapter 8 Drench In Love

From Sahir's Point Of View

(Continuation)

As soon as we stepped outside the barista, I checked my watch.

It's already an evening.With Zoya, I don't even realise how time runs so fast.

"Can we go to the park now?" She asked.

"But Zoya"

"Please...please...please...Sahir, let's visit the park. Please please..." She held my hand while jumping like a small child and begging to me cutely.

I chuckled. How can I deny her when she is going to look cute like that?

"Sahirrr, we are going.That's it" and my love dragged me. We walked towards the nearest park. She dragged me inside the park happily. I just kept staring at our holding hands. I noticed kids were playing. I remembered our childhood days with her. Nothing has changed. She used to dragged me back then and she is dragging me now.

Suddenly I heard a loud thunderstorm. Zoya flinched hearing the loud noise. Soon rains started pouring. Everyone ran for the shelter.

I was about to run but Zoya gripped on my hand, I jerked at her a little. She turned & looked straight into my eyes, giving me heartwarming smile.

My eyes witness my life's most beautiful moment. If I start describing her beauty then my words may devalue her. My woman is standing in front of me & enjoying in the rains. She makes me forget that I was drenching in the rains too. I was so awestruck by her beauty. I let my eyes shamelessly wander all over her body. She took my breaths away.

She spread out her hands in the rain. Feeling each and every droplet on her skin. Her eyes were closed, feeling the rain, her long eyelashes were drenched. When she flickered it, the droplets sprinkled a little on her cheeks. Some droplets made their way towards her ears & hung on her ear nibs slowly, like the pearl ear rings. The rain was continuously pouring the love on her & she let her whole body get drenched in that love. I felt my heart beats thumping loudly. Some droplets made their way from her nose to the lips. Her lips shined in pink when the pearl droplets kissed them. When she smiled widely, some droplets stayed in her dimples for a while.She kept drenching in love of the rain, some droplets slide slowly from her jaw towards her neck playfully. She giggled playfully and swirled around. She looked like the beautiful peacock dancing in the rain, opening its feathers!

Her dress get completely soaked under rain. It showed her beautiful curvaceous figure. Still keeping the hands around in the air, she opened her beautiful pairs of brown eyes and slowly turned her face towards me.

Flashback

Teenage Sahir and Zoya

Sahir was getting all drenched in the rains. He looked around for a shelter but didn't find any.Rains were pouring down heavily with cold breeze.He shivered in the cold.He couldn't decide whether to go ahead or to go back. It looked like rains dont planned to stop yet. But suddenly he felt his head covered. He looked up and saw an umbrella.

"Sahir idiot duffer, what the hell you doing here ?" He jerked a little hearing the girly yelling.

"Its Sahir Malik Chaudhry not Sahir idiot duff..." He looked at his side to find Zoya already gazing at him furiously.Her wet eyelashes frickled, sprinkling tiny droplets of the rain.He stared at her while shaking, she was also drenched in the water. Her hairlooked completely soaked.

"I...I... aachu" He sneezed on her. She glared at him.

"Come with me " She kept his one hand on her arms and her hand on his waist, adjusting in her umbrella.His body shivered because of the proximity between them.

"Oh my Allah, you are catching a cold I think," She said.

He shivered but couldn't understand whether it was becase when she touched her or seriously catching the cold.

Both were walking on the street, holding the umbrella which was failing to cover both of them. While rains were continuously pouring heavily, suddenly heavy wind flowed in their direction & their umbrella cover floated in the opposite direction, making them all wet.

"Zoya, keep it in the front " He said. Both held umbrella in the direction of the wind, so it will cover them. While holding the umbrella, every time her fingers touched on his fingers, his body shievered & confirming her mind that he is catching the cold.

It was so difficult for him to not get attracted towards her. She looked so beautiful,drenched in the rain. Both kept walking with difficulty. He saw people were struggling to walk & vehicles couldn't drive properly. Suddenly Zoya's leg twisted. He left the hold of the umbrella and wrapped her in his arms.

He felt her little heavy but soft. She perfectly fitted in his arms. She gasped. Her mouth became a perfect O shaped when she saw their umbrella floating far away from them. For a while, Sahir just stared at her when both kept drenching in the water.

"Our umbrella " She screamed.

"It floated away" He calmly said. He was so lost in her & kept holding her in my arms.

"What ?" She widened her eyes at him. A loud thunderstorm broke his trance.

She closed her eyes & held him tightly with a fear. He shivered again.

Then he made her stand properly "Don't worry. No need to get scared.I'm with you" He said. She looked around and immediately dragged him towards a small corn shop, holding his hand.

Both stood there adjusting under the small shelter. He put his bag down. Never have I ever, I seen such heavy rains till the date, he thought. Suddenly Zoya swung her wet hairs, brushing his face delicately. His cheeks turned deep red shade. She looked at him biting her tongue and mouthed sorry.

He just looked at the ground shyly. She pushed her all wet hairs to the one side. She rubbed her hands, sneezed, then again brushed her palms on her arms, sneezed, her nose became red. He stared at her every movement.

He sneezed again, this time he kept hands over his mouth.She moved closer to him and put her hand on his temple. He froze on her place feeling the instant closeness between them. He felt his temperature got risen.

She gasped."I think you are catching a fever !!"

Yes, Zoya fever! He thought & giggled.

"Why are you laughing? Did you say anything ?" She asked him and he shook his head.Then he searched some money in his bag, turned at the shopkeeper and ordered one roasted corn. After a while, he gave him money and grabbed hot roasted corn carefully.

"This is for you," He said.

"No. I don't want it." She said.

Does she think I am asking her?

I just want her to eat this corn. He thought.

"EAT" He said it in a little commanding voice to her .

She came near & did something which made him fell in love with her again. She grabbed the corn and fed him. Tears gathered in his eyes, no one had ever done this for him.He never experienced this much of care from his family.

Not even his parents. But his best friend did. His Zoya.

How many times you are going to make me fall for you Zoya? He thought .

"Hun? Careful it's still hot" She said holding the corn infront of him.

One day,I will marry this girl !!

-End-

A loud thunderstorm broke my trance. I felt Zoya gripping and shaking my hand. I noticed her sheivering.Shit shit shit.

I dragged her nearby shelter.

I realized we were fully drenched.

"Zoya... ahh... aachu"

She widened her eyes and immediately placed her palms on my temple.

"Ya Allah! You are catching a fever!"

I chuckled when I remembered something. Deja vu!

She slapped her hand on her temple and shook her head in disbelief.

"When you will grow up Sahir?

I am telling you might catch a fever & you are laughing!"

"I never catch a fever. Remember that rainy day? We ate corn. You caught a fever and you missed the college for two days." I laughed on her.

"Ha ha ha...because that day only you ate that hot corn, that's why you didn't catch a fever."

She narrowed her eyes at me, which makes me laugh even more.

I looked around and saw a roasted corn stall.

"Oh really? Wait " I ran towards the stall and bought one hot roasted corn.I ran towards her and gave it.

"Eat the corn now, so this time you will not catch the fever " I smiled at her but I noticed an unknown emotion flashed in her eyes.

She grabbed the hot corn "This time also, I don't want you to catch fever Sahir"

And I felt getting whipped again! Hard enough to fall intensely in her love.

She fed me that corn.

Oh Zoya you still love me & you can't even hide it from me. My heart filled with all love for her.

I quickly looked away and wiped a lone tear.

"What happened ?" She asked.

"Something went in my eyes" I lied.

"What? let me see" She cupped my face in her hand and raised her toes up. She moved her chin up and slowly blew air in my eyes.

"Feeling better?"

Much better my love.

I just nodded & she smiled. I didn't even realise when it stopped raining.I was so lost in eating corn while she was feeding me. After eating, we walked towards the parking. We sat in the car.I drives towards her hostel.

-----

I pulled over the car outside her hostel.

"Wait Zoya" I quickly took out the medicine box from the dashboard.

"Take this. So you will not catch the fever" I placed it on her hand and grabbed the bottle of water.

"EewwIDontWantIt" She quickly moved my hand away. I sighed of thinking she is not at all changed. She still hates medicines. I do remember very clearly how I used to run behind her to give her medicines and she used to hide from me. But I'll not let her do this now. Right now she is trying to open the door but I've child locked it.

"ZOYA TAKE THIS MEDICINE" I used my minimal harsh tone for her.

She pouted "Oh, so this is how you gonna talk to me now? "

"TAKE IT. DONT TRY MY PATIENCE" I gave her warning.

She pulled out her tongue showing to me.

I want to bang my head now!

"Zoya, my Madonnaa, please take this medicine." I pleaded. She turned her head away.

That's it!

I pinched her nose & she quickly opened her mouth.I took this chance and put the medicine directly in her mouth.She grabbed the water bottle from my hand and instantly gulped it.I couldn't help but laughed on how she made her face after gulping the medicine.

"St...op lau.. eeqq.. ing," She said while making weird faces.

"You are looking like a frog"

I was continuously laughing at her & she kept hitting me by her purse.

"One day I'll give a contract to kill you" She frustratingly said.

"Ahan really? and to whom you will give that contract ?"

She narrowed her eyes at me & I curiously looked at her.

Really? I also want to know who will she select to kill me. The Sultan!

"To Sultan!" Said Zoya.
