Past.

Zoya's.

Third person's POV.
"They are here." As she heard, her heart beat quicken.

"Ya Allah what's happening to me?" She asked while placing her hand on her heart which was beating so fast.

All ladies stood up and went ahead to welcome the guests with all the teeangers. Zoya took two steps ahead but stopped, feeling strange on her condition. Rather than going out, she stepped toward kitchen and took bottle of water to drink. Taking few sips of cold water, she tried to calm her beating heart. 

"Hold yourself Zoya." She muttered to herself and with deep breaths, she took steps out.

The guests were warmly welcomed and now they were in living hall of Salman villa. Everyone was looking happy to meet each other. As Zoya  stepped in, she looked at the family seated with her family.  Her eyes went on her grandmother who was seated with Mr Ahmad with tears in her tears but a happy smile was touching her lips. Feeling awkward, she moved ahead to greet everyone.

"Assalam-u-Alikum." She greeted as she stopped in front of Mr Ahmad.

"Walikumusalam. Who's this pretty girl?" Asked Mr Ahmad while standing up and placed his hand on her head to give blessing.

"She's Zoya. My daughter." Mr Salman introduced her and she smiled looking at her Chachu (uncle).

"Welcome Chachu." She said and moved ahead to meet her aunty and cousins.

One by one greeting everyone, she felt nice with them but still the reason of her fast heart beat was not revealed.  Her heart beat didn't calmed down after meeting the whole family but it was still the same. Mr Ahmad's elder daughter Noor-ul-Ain and younger daughter Aleezay went with Zoya in the kitchen while Hooria and Ruhi also followed them. Aleezay, Ruhi and Hooria were of same age so they become friends so quickly. All of them start talking as they stepped inside the kitchen while Noor-ul-Ain and Zoya served the refreshments in the trays and walked out to serve it in all.

Both served the water and juices in all. Meanwhile Zoya walked toward Rehan who was standing with someone talking with. Zoya moved toward them while placing her dupatta rightly on her head and holding the tray with other hand.

"Rehan this.." As she called  him, he turned and her eyes fell on him who was already lost in looking at her.

Both heart stopped for a second to beat and the next moment, the heart beats quicken, running the hearts fast in their ribcage while eyes forgot to blink, lips got silent, breaths stopped in their chests . Even though every movement, every voice, every breath, was stopped in its action. Because those two pairs of eyes were lost in each other.

"Zoya api." Rehan's voice broke the magic which had hypnotized them both.

"Huh!" She said and looked away fron his eyes which made her lost her senses.

"Give some juice to Zain." Said Rehan.

"S..Sure." Her tongue stutter while she never made the mistake of looking at him again but she could feel his gaze on her.

"J...Juice." with trembling hands, she forward the tray she was holding and said, still looking down.

"Thank You." And his voice fall on her ears, making her lost completely.

Before she could lost herself here completely in him, she turned and without looking at him almost ran toward the kitchen.

Zain's.
Third person's POV.
"She's zoya. Chachu Salman's daughter." Said Rehan smiling and Zain could give a nod while making his lips to form into a smile but truly he got restless more as he saw her.

She saw a girl coming with his elder Sister but couldn't see her face as Rehan was standing in the middle. Both were talking and he found a good friend in him but what caught his attention was that Red colour dupatta girl who was serving juices to everyone. Someone said something to her and she giggled which tingled his heart. The voice of her laugh made his heart ro run fast and he felt strange.

"Rehan this.." Aa she called Rehan and as Rehan turned his eyes fall on her and his heart stopped there.All the restlessness and strange feelings ran away but a new feeling knocked on his heart.



Her beautiful face in the nimbus of the red dupatta her dark black eyes on him, her thin nose which had a small gold nose ring stick to the left of her nose, and her pink beautiful lips. He thought he just lost it. At her first sight he just completely lost his heart to her.  On the way, she was looking at him, it was making his heart more crazy.

"J..Juice." Her voice brought him out of her trance.

On the call, his eyes fell on her beautiful hand while once again, he looked up at her who was now not looking at him. As he took the juuce she almost ran from there while his lips smiled for an unknown reason.

"She's Zoya. Chachu Salman's daughter." Rehan said and his lips slowly moved taking her name.

"Zoya." He whispered her name and his heart jumped as he took her name.

"Everyone freshen up. Then we'll have our lunch." It was Mr Salman and nodding everyone left to their rooms to freshen up.

Mrs Salman with the help of Mrs Hameed and Zoya served the food on table and soon everyone joined them. Mrs Ahamd was happy to be there in such nice people. All boys took seat in one row while girls took the other side.  As Zoya took seat, her eyes went to the chair in front of her. And at the same time Zain sat there, making their eyes to tangled with each other and their heart to skip their beats. He smiled lightly looking at her and she passed a smiled too and looked down. 

"Where's Aaliyan?" Asked Mr Salman looking at his better half.

"Dad he went to take some notes from his friends. He must be coming." Zoya replied looking at her father.

"Okay. You all start please." Said Mr Salman and all start having their lunch while it was getting difficult for Zoya to eat as she could feel those dark brown eyes on her.

She looked up at him who was looking at her without blinking, making her nervous. She looked around to see if anyone was noticing but all were busy in having their lunch. Her eyes shivered when they again met with his who looked down for a second but again looked up at her. Nervously, she placed her dupatta on her head which wss already on her head. He smiled on her nervousness while his heart flattered more looking at her. It was getting crazy for her. His heart beat was increasing with every blink of her eye.

"What happened to you Zain?" He asked himself smiling and looked down at his meal.

She took a breath of relieve when she saw him having his lunch and not looking at her. Her eyes moved on him time to time who was now fully engrossed in having his lunch but was aware of her gaze which was falling on him time to time. As she looked at him, he looked up at her, caught her gaze and she looked away immediately.

"Assalam-u-Alikum Everyone.  I'm sorry I'm late." As Aaliyan came, he said as he saw whole family on lunch table.

"Walikumusalam. Welcome son." Said his father and moved ahead to meet his uncle and cousins.

"You're so cute young boy." Said Mrs Ahmad and all smiled looking at his smiling face.

"And you're so beautiful dear Aunt." He said leaning to her who was seated next to his mother and she ruffled his hair with love and his eyes went to the girl seat on the left side of her.

Aleezay was smiling while slowly talking with Ruhi and as she turned their eyes met and both lost themselves for a second in each other's eyes. She was the first one to look away and start having her meal again and he straightened up with a smile.

"I'll join you all after meeting up with Dadu." He said and turned to go.

Zoya smiled on his brother's act. He always meet his grandmother when he came home and after that he ate something.  It was his habit to visit his grandmother first after reaching home. All kept having their lunch but Zoya was looking for her brother who must had forgotten about lunch.  All finished their lunch and again went to the living hall while all ladies cleaned the table. All ladies walked out in the hall after cleaning the table while the maid started to wash the utensils.  Hooria with Rohi and Aleezay walked out in the hall as well but Zoya stopped there in the kitchen and placed the water in a pot on the stove to make tea for everyone. She let the water boiled and on other side she started to serve lunch for her brother.

"Ahem." She startled on the voice and turned.

Her dupatra silpped from her head and she looked in those dark brown eyes which were fixed on her. He was standing on the entrance of the kitchen while she felt her heart tingled on his presence.

"You..need anything?" Composing herself, she asked and turned again toward the plate in which she was serving food for her brother.

"I heard you are making tea for everyone." And his voice rang again around her, making her hands to stop their movement.

She closed her eyes tightly scolding herself for feeling such like that. How his voice was affecting her it was beyond her thinking.  It was not in her control. Her heart her feelings everything was getting out of her control. Slipping her tongue on her dry lips, she tried to make herself normal in front of him and turned to him again.

"Yes. I'm coming with tea." She replied and he nodded and turned to go and she let a breath out of relieve but he stopped, like her breath too in her chest.

"Lemon tea for me please ." He said as he turned his head a little and said.

"Okay." She replied and he walked out of the kitchen while she turned to the stove with a smile.

"I'm so hungry." Turning on voice, she saw her brother who just pulled the chair which was placed around the table in the kitchen.

"I was waiting for you." She said and placed his lunch on the table in front of him.

"Thank you api." He said and start having his lunch while she pour tea in the cups and hand over the tray to the maid to serve it in all.

She turned again toward the stove and start making lemon tea for zain while her lips were smiling unknowingly. Aaliyan who was observing his sister took a bite of kebab and kept looking at her.

"Something happened? You're smiling." He asked and she turned to him.

"No nothing happen.  Can't I smile?" She asked looking at him.

"Of course you can but this smile seems special so I asked." Aaliyan said with teasing look while Zoya narrowed her eyes at him who laughed on her act and again looked at his meal and start having it.

Smilingly,  She took the cup of lemon tea and walked out of the kitchen.  As she stepped in the living hall, her eyes roamed around to find him but he was nowhere. 

"Who are you looking for?" All of sudden someone asked and she startled.

"Oh Hassan it's you. I was looking for your brother." She said looking at Hassan who was grinning like an idiot.

"Which one?" He asked again.

"That...Zain." she replied still looking around with a nervous smile on her lips.

"Give it to me. I'll give this to him." Said Hassan and nodding Zoya passed the cup to him and left from there while he walked to find his brother Zain.

"It will be fun together." Said Aleezay as she entered in the kitchen with Ruhi who was looking over excited.

"I'll talk to Dad about this." Said Aleezay again as she walked toward the refrigerator.

"We'll take the fine arts classes okay." Ruhi said as they were planning something.

"I'll join you too." She said giggling and took a bottle of water out, couldn't see Aaliyan who was seated on the left corner of the kitchen but his eyes were on this girl who was looking beautiful in black dress.

"Mind if you give me some water." His voice made both of them jumped on their place and their head turned toward the direction.

"Bhai what are you doing here? You scared us." Said ruhi placing her hand on her heart.

"Yeah right. I scared you both? Its you both who scared me. I was busy in my lunch when you both interrupt my concentration." He said taking a spoon full of rice in his mouth.

"By the way our cousin looks like a black cat in this black dress." Said Aaliyan and Aleezay looked at him with wide eyes and then at her dress.

"Excuse me! Are you talking about me?" She asked taking a step closer to him.

"Yes." He said nodding his head up and down.

"Abd what you think of yourself? Looks like a...a...a.." She couldn't find any words to say as he was looking handsome at the time.

In camel colour pant with blue shirt on it, his hair beautifully combed, a wrist watch on his wrist while cuffs were folded till his elbows.  She kept looking at him for few second while he smiled on her gaze.

"I know I'm so handsome. Sakeena always says." He said as he stood up from his seat and walked toward her who was now glaring at him angrily.

"Handsome and you? Please. And tell your sakeena to check her eyes to some doctor." Saying, she rushed out of the kitchen while Aaliyan burst into a laughter and Ruhi went closer to him.

"Who's this Sakeena?" She asked placing her hand on her hip and asked like an old lady.

"Why to tell you." Saying, Aaliyan rushed out of the kitchen.

Shrugging her shoulders, she turned to go but as she turned she bumped with someone and as she looked up Rehan was standing. She got scared as she saw Rehan there because she was well aware of his anger.

"Are your eyes Working well?" With a frown, he said and Ruhi could see the colour of anger on his face.

"Sorry Rehan bhai. I didn't notice you." She said looking down but he just walked ahead toward the refrigerator.

As she saw him busy, she almost ran from there while Rehan smile looking at her back. "Silly girl." Mumbled Rehan, and walked out of the kitchen.

All were gathered in the living hall, talking to each other. Kashif and Waseem were watching tv while talking to Aaliyan who was seated next to them. Hassan was laying on the carpet floor with Wasi who was Rehan's younger brother. Zain and Rehan were seated together on a sofa talking while girls and ladies were busy in their own talks. Their grandmother was seated with her sons feeling happy to see her sons, daughter in laws and all grandchildren around her. Later on, boys went out in the lawn playing cricket while ladies started the preparation of dinner and all girls helped them.

As the dinner served, the men were called on dinning table to have the dinner. Every face was smiling feeling happy to be with each other. All took seats and start having their dinner while Mr Hamad looked at everyone and cleared his throat to get everyone's attention. All looked at him and he smiled looking at his brothers and mother.

"Its so good to see all of our children here together." Said Mr Hameed and his brothers nodded with a smile.

"Everyone you all are invited on dinner at my home tomorrow." Said Mr Hameed and all the young boys clapped with whistles.

"Chachu I'll come in the morning and will spend the whole day in your home." Said Hassan all of sudden feeling excited.

"Sure Son.  Its your home. You can come whenever you want." Said Mr Hameed and all smiled.

Zoya looked at Hassan and giggled looking at his excitement while Zain closed his eyes as he heard her giggle which made his heart to flutter. His heart beat increased as he took a deep breath calming himself but never looked at her again as he knew he would lost again if he did that mistake of looking at her. After Dinner Mr Hameed with his family departed to his home while Mr Salman and Mr Ahmad also went to their rooms to take rests. Mrs Salman and Mrs Ahmad sent all the kids to their rooms as all the day no one had taken rest so it was necessary to go to bed to have a proper rest. As Zoya took a step toward her room, she turned unintentionally and as she turned, her eyes met with those pair of eyes which were waiting to be lost in her. Their eyes met for a second and storm of butterflies rushed in their hearts making them to look away.

Zain's.

The second portion was set for the Ahmad family. Zoya's room was also on the second portion but Ruhi was shifted to the first ground and her room was next to her grandmother. Aleezay joined her and both decided to stay in the same room as they become like best friends. Noor ul ain decided to share room with Zoya who was happy to have a comany. Hassan and Zai were sharing a room while Waseem and kashif were going to stay in a room. Zain entered the room still lost in her thoughts while Hassan closed the door behind him yawning.

"Come out of her thoughts." Saying, Hassan walked to the bed as his eyes were closing down.

"Who? What are you saying?" Startled on his words said Zain and walked toward wardrobe and took his night dress out.

"We'll talk about this later. I'm sleepy now." Saying Hassan hugged the pillow laying almost on it and closed his eyes.

"Change your dress first." Zain said looking at him.

"I'm busy in thinking something." With closed eyes he said and in few seconds start snoring.

"Impossible guy." Muttered zain and went to change his dress.

After changing his dress, he went closer to the window side while a smile was touching his lips as his mind was lost in someone. Looking back at the sleepy face of his brother Zain closed his eyes, feeling the cool breeze touching his face while her face running on the curtain of his eyes. His heart beat increased giving it tingles and his lips stretched into smile while his hand went to his chest on his heart.

"Was that strange feelings because of you?" He asked looking at the image appeared on his close eyes.

"Are you the reason of these tingles I'm feeling inside my heart?" He asked again and this time his lips smiled and they took her name.

"Zoya." His heart fluttered as he took her name.

"Its you Zoya." He opened his eyes with the words while still smiling.

"I'm going crazy." Running his hand through his hair, he said and looked at the moon shinning in the sky.

"Zoya." He took her name again feeling happy.

Present.

Zain's POV.
"Zoya." I again took her name who was beating in my heart.

"It was a love at first sight. Right Sir?" I startled on the voice and saw my interns still standing there as they were listening what I was saying.

"Yes it was love at first sight." I replied and smiled sadly.

"What happened after that Sir? We want to know.  Why she broke your heart?" Asked Imraan and I smiled looking at all of them who were looking concern for me.

"Maybe she had a reason for that." I replied recalling that hurt full day which took everything from me.

"Tell us what happened sir?" Asked Emily and I smiled while standing up.

"Let's go for now on our duties. We'll talk about this later." Wearing my whitr overall, I said to them and nodding they all walked out and I also went to take a round of the hospital.

"Sir don't forget to come on my engagement." I heard Imraan.

"I will surely come." I ensured him and Smilingly he went with his friends.

"Zoyi." Calling her who was always beating in my heart i walked ahead to take a round.
