“What did you?” he asked while clenching his teeth. “I, I didn't know, I…” she said, hesitant. He opened his mouth to say something when Haeem cried his name, “Roman, don’t waste time, I and Zain are going to shop,” he shouted from the room. He looked at Saliha while clenching his teeth. “Have you told your friends about it?” he asked. She gulped. She knew what he meant by this. “I, I did not,” she said. He gawked at her for a while and then he walked away. She was staring at his strong back. She walked towards the room. Hania was reading the book she had brought with her. “What?” asked Hunza, smirking. “About what?” she asked. “Between you and him?” she asked while pointing at the door. She looked behind but no one was there. “What are you talking about?” she asked, shrugging. “Don’t make us fools, we saw sexual tension,” said Hunza. “What?” Saliha said, half-laughing. “Yeah, what were you two up to?” she asked. “No way, no.no.” she refused. “Well, that will be f

“So he is your cousin?” asked Kashan. “No,” she said instantly. “Then?” he asked, curious. “Our parents were friends,” she said. “Oh, so that’s how you are living here. Where are your parents?” he asked. “My mum is dead,” she said, sadly. “Oh, sorry, I am sorry for your loss,” he said while looking inside her eyes. She looked so tense and upset. “No, it’s okay, I do miss my mom in my life, but I never met her, she died shortly after I was born,” she said while wiping her tears away. “And your dad?” he asked. “I don’t know, grandma has never said a word about him, maybe he is dead as well,” she said. He took a deep breath. “Come on, let's go up, the girls must have finished writing by now,” she said, and walked towards her room in order to change topic. Her room was across from Roman’s. There was loud music playing in the room. She took a deep breath while passing by his room, followed by Kashan. “Where were you two?” asked Hania, mischievously. “It’s nothing like you were

She turned instantly but at the same moment her towel fell to her knees, she grabbed it on time and held it tight on her breasts. He looked away. “What are you doing here?” she asked, embarrassed. “This is my room, I stay here whenever I come here, I stay in this room,” said Ehsan, annoyed. “What are you doing here, naked?” he asked, angrily. “I came here to take a shower,” she said. Her clothes were on the bed and he was standing next to the bed. He walked ahead, grabs outfits, and gave them to her. He walks out of the room. ********* She was preparing breakfast as Martha was not feeling well today so she asked for a leave. She decided to cook. It had been more than six months since she had cooked something. She was humming while cooking when he entered the kitchen and looked at her from the corner of his eyes while walking towards the fridge, she had put on headphones and was busy cooking. Her long knee-length curly hair was wet and the shampoo’s appealing fragrance was spread

Present Time She was standing there with empty eyes when Aisha held her arm and dragged her to the corner passing Roman. “Roman honey, how is it?” asked Tiana. “Fine,” he said, shortly. “Muaza, now please go,” said Aisha in a whisper. Roman could hear them due to his fast hearing senses. “You ruined my day, what for I came here? What I will do when you are dating your date?” she asked, annoyed. Roman was all ears. “Well go anywhere but leave us alone,” said Aisha, harshly. Tiana’s phone rang, and she answered the call. “What? Okay, I am coming,” she said and hung up. “Honey, we are leaving, Patricia said mum is looking for us,” said Tiana and kissed him on his cheek and left. Aisha walks off with her date. Muaza was standing there guilty. “Hey Muaza, it seems like we both are on our own,” he said, chuckling. She felt her heart rushing faster again. “Come on, let’s eat something,” he said, smiling. She smiled in return. ************ “Whoa, finally done with the damn project

She was cooking empanadas while humming when she heard a woman giggling.She turned, and there were more than two hundred people who were coming inside the house. Just then she saw some familiar faces."Hey," said Zain."What is happening here?" She asked."You don't know? Roman has thrown a party here," he said grinning. She looked around the place. All of them must be students from their senior years."Hey Saliha," said Zaryaab."Seems like you do not know about the party, he has not informed you?" Asked Ehsan."No he did not," she said clenching her teeth and then she looked at her clothes. She was stinking with food fragrance."This is insane," she said angrily and threw the ladle on the floor. "Girls," muttered Zaryaab, disappointed. She rushed towards her room."Idiot," she muttered but then she collided with someone. He was staring at her with a smirk on his face."You should have told me that you are throwing your jungle party here," she said, angrily but he did not change his
