CHAPTER 5

CHAPTER 5 : The knock of love

--------------------------------------------------

Safia looked around worriedly . She decided to go to the camp site to call the other girls to help , but then a thought came into her mind which made her stop in her tracks.

Fawad wasn't any normal man . He was known for his hidden illegal works , the girls could freak out and people don't always understand that if you rescue a person doesn't mean that you are necessarily related to them.

So she decided to take the matters in her own hands .

She got up and headed towards the other side of the forest , while still keeping an eye on the man laying down to ensure that he hadn't fallen into any problems or got attacked by any person .

Her eyes fell on the other side of the road , where a car was going and the loud song of music being played on the car's radio could be heard . She ran as fast as she could in front of the car and waved her hands upwards as a gesture to stop the car .

The car stopped and a British man peeked his head out .

"Yes Miss?"he asked.

"Eh-Actually-My-My brother is in problem ! He fell down during our camping and have injured his head-Can you please help me to take him to a hospital?" She requested.

The man's face couldn't be seen properly earlier, due to the darkness inside the car , but as he got out, Safia could see him properly .

He had a fine jawline along with dusky skin , which matched with his deep black orbs and jet black hairs . He was tall and broad and Safia could tell he was around 6'3 feets .

As her eyes fell on his expensive suit , she doubted if he was actually had some connections with the dark side of the world , with that kind of outfit.

"Where is your brother?" He asked and Safia blinked her eyes trying to process what she should do now .

What if this man turns out to be an enemy of Fawad ? Or worse ?

"Urm...give me some time. I will be coming with him in a moment" Safia said and walked towards the forest . She stared at Fawad and then at surroundings.

She circled her arms under his arms and tried to make him sit up . It seemed as if Fawad became a bit conscious with the moments taking place near him, she looked at her with sleepy eyes.

"Try to stand please" She requested and with all the strength he had in his body , but even after that , he had to lean on Safia for strength .

"It's okay lean" She said and his head hung low while he tried to focus on walking .

As soon as they reached the side where the British man was standing , Safia quickly removed her duppatta and covered Fawad's face with it , while pretending to wipe the sweat.

Fawad was too much into focusing on walk that he didn't bothered to remove the dupatta.

Instead he leaned a bit more towards her and Safia quickly hugged him from the side to support his body.

*CLICK*

*CLICK*

Safia looked around at the sound confused while the British man was helping Fawad to lay down properly behind .

With her left hand , Safia ensured that the duppatta wasn't moving away from his face.

She sat with his head on her lap . Fawad's eyes were filled getting slightly moist due to his attempts to keep his eyes open . The duppatta on his face was another barrier which was preventing him from properly seeing the face of the girl who helped him .

For a split second the dupatta flew away from his face due to the strong winds which were coming from the window . In the soft beams of the moonlight , he could see her face .

Slightly chubby cheeks with gentle eyes and dull pink lips which were slightly chapped due to improper care . Her eyes had a bit dark circles but they weren't that visible . She kept looking at him in worry and for a second their eyes met . She quickly covered his face . He tried to remove that to have a proper glance at her , but she just irritatedly covered his face.

"Gosh...please co-operate" She huffed.

And when Fawad again tried to do it , she smacked his head lightly with his palm and clenched her teeth glaring at him.

"I am trying to protect you . P R O T E C T !! So C O- O P E R A T E " she spelled out the words to him.

And Fawad decided to just relax . He will find see her properly later. For now he needed to relax.

--------------

Fawad opened his eyes on the hospital bed with the same British man on his side. It took him a moment to adjust and understand what was going on .

He remembered the incidents of the past night and the girl who helped him.

There was a grey couch on the side where Seth had dozed off. Seth was his cousin brother and ran his own company , 'REM' . Nobody could come near Seth when it came to business. Even Fawad. But he liked to believe that was because his attention was divided between 2 different worlds.

On one hand , where he was a reputed C.E.O of his father's company . On the other , he handled the illegal business , like smuggling of weapon and drugs.

Seth's dark brown hair was falling on his fair face , and a tasbeeh was hanging down his wrist . Despite being young , and having all the time of enjoying his life . Seth was deeply religious. Quite opposite of Fawad .

Fawad rolled his eyes and noticed that his friend was standing near the huge window .

"Augustus -"He called out and the man looked towards him.

"Yes?" Augustus said while turning around while still talking with someone on the phone.

"For how much time was I sleeping?" He asked.

"Around-"Augustus looked at his phone to check the time .

"It's around 8 hours"Augustus answered whole again continuing his talk on the phone and he sounded pretty annoyed.

Fawad's throat felt very dry , so he turned on the side and grabbed the empty glass of water on the side and started pouring water from the jug . There were tubes connected to the veins of his hands. The stinging pain in his head was still there.

He sipped the water and put the glass back on the small table , when his eyes fell on a little plastic container with soup in it .

He stared at it for a few second confused , as to what it was doing here.

Fawad's eyes then shifted to Augustus who had now cut the phone call and sat on the side of the bed.

"What happened?" Fawad asked Augustus, noticing the look of annoyance on the other's face.

"Nothing. The stupid doctor who was appointed to take care of you , is running a bit late . I called at the reception and they were asking us to wait for another 10 minutes -Like...WHAT THE HELL???" Augustus angrily said.

He was already worried that Fawad had so many injuries and on top of that , the stupid doctor was running late .

"They have made such a big hospital, so can't they just send another doctor ? Instead of that Zeher..wait..Zeheb.."Augustus's always talked in a monotonous tone , almost sounding cold , but the fact that he was annoyed was pretty obvious.

"Zeheb? Who is that? Is he a reputed doctor?" Fawad asked , because he didn't wanted to be treated by any rookie who just got into the practice.

"Maybe. He must be some old fat midget" Augustus grumbled.

"Leave that-tell me where is the girl?"

"Which girl?" Augustus frowned .

"The girl who helped me yesterday" Fawad still remembered her voice properly.

"Oh-her...Once we got you in the hospital, the doctor came to take you in , and the dupatta which was on your face kind of fell down . I immediately recognised you and asked her to go as I can take care of you , although she was kind of hesitant to leave you , I showed her our pictures and she was finally convinced and left" Augustus said remembering the incidents of the past night.

"Okay..now the next question, what's that dirty container doing on the side of my table?" Fawad inquired.

"Right , I forgot one thing . She came back after half an hour and gave me this container with soup and asked me to wish you luck for recovery" Augustus told him.

Fawad slightly nodded.

"And...do you have any information about her?" Fawad asked Augustus who shook his head.

"I tried to ask , to give her money to thank her , but she just refused and went away"

"Who doesn't want money?" Fawad was hella confused at that .

"Many people-"before Augustus could ask some questions about his health . The door opened .

Augustus was almost ready to charge angrily at the doctor for being late , but he froze as soon as saw her -

Instead of a fat old midget. There stood a gorgeous girl with her thick black hairs falling till her waist . She has dusky tan skin and black doe eyes which looked apologetic for being late.

Her body was wrapped up in a black saree with golden borders .

"I-I am so-sorry for being late" She stuttered with embarrassment looking at Augustus, who was still in his place looking at her dreamily.

She looked like his whole dream was wrapped up in a saree and presented in front of her.

The moment she looked at him . He could feel the world stopping for second and all the Bollywood movies he used to mock , made more sense than ever.

His heart was beating differently now . He felt more alive than ever the moment his gaze fell upon her.

"It's fine. Infact-you came on the perfect time" The monotonous voice of the man , became so soft and it was as similar as the silversmith taking care of a porcelain vase.

Fawad who was about to drink another class of water stopped at stared in direction of his friend with disbelief.

All those years of being cold and heartless-handling all the legal works and being rude to almost everyone just vanished in thin air after seeing the doctor ? Wow. Fawad wanted to go there and gift Augustus himself for that if possible .

Gift him 6 bullets deep in the heart .
