chapter 39

                                1 "He seems very close to him", thought Zaini."Well, I am happy I could help you. And, I don't live alone in my flat. I have two flatmates. If you are okay with exposing your presence to them, then let's go to my flat", said Zaini."Are you talking about Dr Nazma?" said a voice.Zaini and Kim Jae looked at the door from where the voice had come."Leo? What are you doing here?" asked Zaini in surprise.Kim Jae looked at Leo with unbelievable eyes. "You might not know it but I am Kim Jae's agent. You could meet him yesterday evening because of me only", said Leo."What?? You mean You, Kim Min Ho and superstar Kim Jae all are friends?" asked Zaini with wide eyes."Not friends! We work with each other and know each other very well", said Kim Jae giving Leo a stern look."Mr. Kim Jae, it's time for you to leave from here. I have come to fetch you", said Leo coming close to Kim Jae."Actually, he could not eat anything. He is hungry. I was saying if he could have lunch at my place?" asked Zaini feeling guilty."I have brought his food and he can have it in the car. I don't think there is a need to go to your flat", said Leo."Can you please excuse us for a moment please?" said Kim Jae and pushed Leo out of the room with him."What is your problem? Why have you come here?" asked Kim Jae to Leo."Didn't you see the article?" asked Leo and scrolled over his cell phone. Kim Jae looked at the cell phone."Has Kim Jae found his true love?Kim Jae was seen with a girl on the bridge yesterday night. They were looking at each other with love. The girl was holding his face in her hands as if she wanted to kiss him"There was a picture shared below the article in which the face of the girl was not clear because of her hair falling over her face but Kim Jae's face was clearly visible. "What the f***!!" uttered Kim Jae."Get the article removed immediately", said Kim Jae."I have already done it. It was there for half an hour on the site and has been shared vigorously. No one can read the article anymore but the picture. Although the links have been removed but if someone has saved the picture, it is out of our hands", said Leo. "Got it! These media people never leave me alone anywhere!" "Let's leave from here. If Zaini found out about the image and herself in the picture. Your plan will fail", said Leo."Do you really care about me and what Zaini thinks about me or you are worried about Dr Nazma? She will also blame you for telling lies to her", said Kim Jae looking deep in Leo's eyes as he was not able to digest how Leo was reacting."I am attracted to her I admit it but saving you is my priority. If Zaini is exposed, the director might not want you in his drama and you need a superhit drama to shine back in the industry", said Leo in a serious tone."I am more worried about Zaini rather than the drama. She is humiliated here already and people will punish her severely", thought Kim Jae.Both of them entered the room."I will have to leave. It's urgent. It was a good experience following you. I will join you tomorrow morning. Till then See yaa", said Kim Jae and left hurriedly."Ya... Byee" Zaini was about to say this but they had already left. "I hope whatever has happened will not make him worry for long", thought Zaini.                                 2Zaini's shift was over. She was feeling happy after talking to Kim Jae. She pinched her left upper arm with her another hand to see if it was a dream or reality."Ouch! It's all real!! How can life be so beautiful!? I don't want this moment to fade away from my life. I wish Prague would have loved me that much. It was my first proper meeting with Kim Jae and he could read my eyes. I have spent 2 years with Prague but he never tried to do that.Maybe Kim Jae has worked in so many romantic dramas that he knows how to behave with the girls. Maybe normally boys are like Prague only. He loves me I know that", thought Zaini while going back to her flat.She recalled how Prague had proposed to her.Prague and Zaini were classmates. She was the most beautiful, intelligent girl of the class because of which many juniors, seniors, and her classmates had crush on her. Prague was also one of them. Being in the same class and then allotment of the same departments for practicals made it easier for Prague to stay close to her. Knowingly Prague would miss the practicals and then he would ask for notes from Zaini. Slowly they exchanged the contact numbers and Prague kept on going close to her with his friendly behaviour. No one else had the courage to talk to her and Prague was slowly making each move to get close to her and finally he was able to win her heart too. At the railway station, he proposed to her when she was coming back to college after the vacations. "What are you doing here?" asked Zaini as soon as she gets down from the train."I was waiting for you. My train came 3 hours back and I thought I will join you. So I waited", said Prague."For 3 hours? Have you gone mad? It is too hot here!" said Zaini."Hmm... I was dieing to see you! It's been 26 days since I saw you last", said Prague in a scared voice. Zaini looked into his eyes. It was the first time that someone had proposed to her. She found it too romantic. She wanted to taste how it feels being in love although she never knew what her feelings were. "Are you proposing to me?" asked Zaini.Prague could not say anything as he was scared of results of what he just confessed. He was frozen."Why were you dieing to see me? Do you need any other notes from me?" asked Zaini to make him talk."No... No. I guess I Love You", said Prague feeling breathless.Zaini smiled at him. And that's how their love story started. Prague was good with her but their thought processes were different which had always led to arguments between them.
