chapter 47

                              1Zaini was feeling anxious so she went into the garden. She sat on a bench and started sipping her coffee. She looked around, there were so many people. Some in patients' dress and some in normal attire. Some were looking sad but some were smiling. She wanted to talk to someone about her problem. She was finding it difficult to figure out why Prague went to Huma's house running and why he even stayed there last night. He was not picking up the call either. Kim Jae was looking for her. When he could not find her he called her."Why Kim Min Ho is calling at this time?" thought Zaini but she received the call thinking she might feel better."Hello""Where are you?" asked Kim Jae as soon as she said hello."A... Why do you always ask me where I am? It feels like you are here in the hospital looking for me", said Zaini."Amm... A. No, I call just Leo whenever I need him, and usually my first question to him is where are you? Maybe it has become a habit now", said Kim Jae laughing.Zaini laughed too. "You are crazy!" said Zaini."How are you doing?" asked Kim Jae thinking she would praise him for the breakfast."Not well. Can I discuss something with you", said Zaini.Kim Jae went aside to the stairs section where there was more silence to hear her better."Sure, why not? I told you I am a good listener", said Kim Jae assuming she was going to tell him something about her boyfriend."I don't know how to start but this matter is consuming my time and energy and I need to come out of it to focus on my work", said Zaini."I am listening""I hope you don't find it boring. I am still confused if I should share it with you or not. I think I should tell Nazma. She would understand", said Zaini.Kim Jae was dying to hear but Zaini was taking her time to start with it. "No pressure. If you feel Nazma is a better person to talk to then you should share it with her. And, nothing can be boring for me if it is related to you", said Kim Jae with a heavy heart.Zaini felt comfortable telling him and she narrated the whole story to him from the time she was selected for the internship till now. It took her 45 minutes to narrate the story and Kim Jae listened to her sitting on a step of the stairs. "Hmmm... So now he is neither picking up your calls nor calling you! And, your friend is also not answering your calls?" repeated Kim Jae."Yes, what do you think? What could be the reason?" "See... I think your best friend has feelings for your boyfriend. And, it usually happens between friends when you discuss your boyfriend with your best friend a lot", said Kim Jae."What nonsense!! It is not at all possible", shouted Zaini."You asked for my point of view and I am telling you that only. I wonder instead of calling you, her mother called him. How could she have your boyfriend's contact number? There must be a reason to call a guy to your home for your daughter. She knew her daughter would listen to him", said Kim Jae. Zaini gave it a thought and realized Kim Min Ho was saying the right thing. She used to talk to her about Prague a lot. She knew everything about them. Where had gone? What did they do? What did they eat? What else did Prague do for her? How romantic was he? How caring was he? That date night... She was also a part of the planning. She used to say that Zaini was lucky to have such a person in her life. She also compared her fiance with Prague. She also knew how Prague would react if he found out Zaini had drinks alone outside. She knew everything."Let's say she had developed feelings but what about Prague?" asked Zaini."Maybe he went there to support her as you told me Huma has helped him in planning your dates and also when you were answering his calls, he called her. Maybe he felt obligated to go there and help her when she was in need", said Kim Jae."He didn't even talk to me before going there?""Maybe he didn't want to worry you. It was already upsetting news that her groom had run away. Knowing that your best friend has locked herself in the room and might attempt suicide would have worried you even more", said Kim Jae."Why do all the man takes a man's side only!!? I thought he would think like me but he is showing me another side of the story", thought Zaini."I know it is a golden opportunity for me to separate you from your boyfriend but I don't want to grow by pulling down someone. I will make my own space in your heart. I don't want to be a vamp in your story instead I want to be the hero of your story whom you have not found yet!!" thought Kim Jae. "So, the conclusion is Hema is in love with Prague and her mother knows about it. Prague went to help as he felt obligated and he didn't tell me because he didn't want to worry me... Hmmm. Nothing sounds wrong except that Hema fell for him", said Zaini."That's also not wrong. Love can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. Sometimes we don't even know that we are in love with some specific person. It might be the wrong person. Loving someone is never wrong!!" said Kim Jae thinking about himself and how he fell for Zaini out of the blue and was not even aware of it until he met her again. "My God!! You are the writer! I can say it. Kim Jae's dramas contain so cheesy dialogues and you must be the one after them!!" said Zaini and laughed. "No, it is me! Kim Jae. This is what my heart says!!" thought Kim Jae."Why aren't they calling me back? I want to know what is happening there", said Zaini sulking."Maybe they are struck somewhere. Let them come back. Don't assume things. Focus on your work. Remember everything happens for a reason", said Kim Jae."Hmmm... Now my heart is at peace. Thank you so much!! I never knew I would find an awesome friend here", said Zaini and smiled. "I have been looking for you in the whole hospital and you are here sitting in the garden sipping this coffee!!" said Ji Hoon.Zaini looked up at him and immediately got up. Kim Jae heard him and ran toward the garden.
