Azlan pov
"Subhan Allah—that's the only word that came to mind when I saw this little beauty. Ya Allah, how can someone be this alluring? I just can’t take my eyes off her... uff.
I feel like I can’t breathe; my heart is beating so incredibly fast. The sight before me is breathtaking. The way she’s dressed completely shows that she doesn’t care what anyone thinks. She’s in a baby pink sweatshirt and oversized jeans, paired with cool sneakers and an expensive watch on her wrist. Her hair is casually tied back with an elegant clutch, and she’s wearing no makeup at all... God, I just can't resist taking in every detail of her appearance.
“Oh, here you are! Come, come,” Dada said with a smile. That's when her eyes met mine, and that’s when my heartbeat skipped. “Meet Hamza Siddiqui, my college buddy, and this is his granddaughter, Zara.”
"Zara... a name fitting for a princess, although her dressing sense might suggest otherwise."
"As-salamu alaykum," I greeted Mr. Siddiqui and the princess, who seemed unfazed and responded with just a nod. Okay... Well, no one has ever ignored me like that before; it seems everything has a first time.
"Wa alaykumu as-salam, my son. It's very nice to meet you, and congratulations on your success. May Allah bless you with everything you desire in life," Mr. Siddiqui said warmly. I glanced at Zara, who seemed to be scrutinizing me—not just checking me out, but analyzing and observing. "Insha'Allah, your blessings will be my only wish," I replied, taking another glance at Zara.
"Well, congrats, you did a very good job. Winning against Dada is quite an honor," I said, directly addressing Zara just to hear her voice, as I couldn't resist getting her attention.
"Thank you, it was indeed quite a game," she replied, and as I suspected, her voice was as alluring as her presence...
A genuine smile spread across my face, capturing her attention. Wait, what am I, an 18-year-old? Why am I behaving like this?
"Okay, Azlan, why don't you show Zara around? I'm sure she'll love that. Mr. Siddiqui and I will catch up with our other mates in the meantime. And make sure to have dinner, okay?" Dada said, smiling at Zara, who smiled back. That smile could make angels kneel, so imagine what it does to a devil like me.
"Just enjoy, okay?" Mr. Siddiqui added with a concerned smile, as if instructing her. She just nodded and looked at me. Well, why on earth would I miss such an opportunity?
"Take the lead," she said, standing up, brushing a lock of hair from her face, and moving towards me. We began walking... she took in everything around her. Then, I led her to the other side of the courtyard, into a garden where countless flowers bloomed—none prettier than her, but all very pleasant.
She seemed to like the garden. I couldn't help but watch her as she admired the flowers. Then, sensing my gaze, she looked back, and my heart skipped a beat again. Uff... it seriously hurts.
“so, tell me about yourself, you look pretty young, what do you do” I asked gazing straight into the pretties eyes. “what is it? Interview or something?” she said with a bored look. my expression got a bit amazed by her attitude okay ...now i know why her grandfather request her to enjoy.....she dont enjoy. Interesting.
"Aggressive much, huh?" I asked teasingly. She sighed and turned completely towards me. "Zara Siddiqui, age 19, student at Christ Technological University. Anything more?" she replied with a tight smile. "Yes, your favorite color, food, perfume, place, movie, books, any boyfriend, friends…everything," I said, looking intensely into her eyes.
She raised those beautiful shaped eyebrows and folding her arms in the front giving me a judgmental look “ aren’t you too old for this” she asked “ This?” I asked playing dumb…..she rolled her eyes and divert her gaze again into he garden . wait…she did not!! …woah someone has guts for god sake ……….
“Did you just rolled your eyes on me ?” I asked narrowing my eyes at her “ Am I not allowed to?...is there any rules n all when it comes to you or what?” she said looking intensely one of the flower and grazing it .
A genuine smile appeared on my Face and only one thought came into my mind
‘MINE….ONLY MINE’.
