With a jolt, I sat up to the sound of my alarm ringing. For a moment I sat numb in my bed, trying to make sense of it all. I could feel sweat beads trickling down my neck and a few damp hair strands sticking to my forehead. Sitting there in a daze, my hands began to shuffle around the blanket in search of my phone, which was still trying to pull me out of slumber.

She wasn't looking for love; yet, found it in the least expected person. When Dr. Mahnoor first laid eyes on Captain. Dr. Haider, she couldn't fathom even in her wildest dreams the mess she was about to get herself into. Haider, who was a quirky and charming neurosurgeon, could hardly be described as anything except trouble personified. The kind of man, whom she never thought she could give a second thought about, least of all get involved with.Yet, little did she know that all her prayers had led her to someone, who was going to challenge everything she had ever believed in and break down the barriers she had spent a lifetime building.

I mean, it's not like they are seeing me for the first time. Why create so much fuss?"I think this is fine. Rahima! Take baji's clothes for ironing—" She screamed from her place. I didn't lift my eyes from my phone. Anything that I say, will have a negative impact. So, for now, I have decided to lay low. Until, they leave; that is. It's not that I don't want to give him a chance. But, I don't feel right. From the few times, that I have met him in the past, it felt like he didn't like me very mu
