He taps his feet anxiously as he looks at the screen in front of him. He heard his phone ringing and answered it without looking at the name.

"What do you think you are doing?". Akbar snapped

He moves his phone away from his ear looking at Akbar name on his phone making him groan in frustration.

"What am I doing?". He asked acting oblivious

"You asked for our best men and spies just so you can stalk your woman?". Akbar asked controlling his anger

"You don't understand". He said watching as she leaves her house, "She asked for a day off in the middle of the week without any reasons. I need to know what she is doing".

And that night she talked to that man until their coffee were cold so he just sent her home because his mood was ruined.

"You follow each of your employee who asks for a day off?". Akbar said rolling his eyes, "I am calling our team back to quarter. They have better things to do than stalk someone, on your behalf".

"No. No. Akbar- don't do this. They are good at it". He pleaded

"How did you restore to stalking anyways?. We don't stalk our woman, we straight up go up to them". Akbar said sighing, "Go and stalk her to your heart content on your own. The team is coming back".

Just as the call ended he saw her sitting in someone car and the screen turns blank knowing Akbar had called the team back. He pulls on his hair frustrated as he quickly takes his coat running out of TJC tower towards his sports car.

He enters inside his car, trying to think of the way he could find her location since Akbar took the men away, he has his guards which are better at protection than investigating.

He groaned slamming his hand on her wheel when his phone rings with a message from Akbar with a location. He grinned entering the location on his car Gps to find her in a mall. He speeds his car zooming out everything beside him as he reached the mall in record time.

He covers his face with a mask and a hat over his head as he enters inside trying to find her. He asked his guards to be at a safe distance and not too close to him so no one knows that it is him.

She places her coat on the chair sitting on the chair beside it looking at the man in front of her.

Falak.

He is the man who owns the stocks market and she is interested in investing while she has such a big salary, if possible in the companies of the top tier. It will be fun to play with them in their business.

"You said you wanted to see me regarding some information?". She asked as they were done ordering

Falak chuckles, "You are straight forward".

She shrugged, "I don't have any reasons to not be".

"I do have some information and suggestion but I was wondering if we could have a warm lunch before that". Falak said softly

"Are you asking me that or telling me?". She asked curiously because it didn't sound like a question, it sounded like a demand which she hates

Falak chuckles nervously, "I must have come off rude. I didn't intend to that. It's just it's not natural for women to come to invest in stock on their own".

"Ahhh". She said thoughtfully, "So, they must come with their husband/boyfriend to be eligible?. Or if a woman comes alone does that mean she is not educated enough to make her own choice?".

She hates hypocrites the most. It's not her first time to be in such situations. Back home was worse because those people won't even acknowledge their insensitive and make it a joke, those bunch of trashy people.

"No. No. You are making me into a bad man now". Falak said smiling

"Should I be guilty of your words and actions?". She asked placing her hand on the table as her eyes hardened, "I am not responsible for anyone besides myself".

"That is the precise reason why you interest me". Falak said smiling

"And you don't". She said standing from her chair, "Send me the information through a woman if you appointed any. I will speak to only women from now on, if not, forget about all of this".

She turns around to leave when he holds her hand.

He looks at her hiding behind a decoration tree as his narrow at her clothes.

"Who told her to wear white with that man?". He said irritated, "Does she not realise?. Why does she have to provoke me?".

"Who are you speaking to, young man?". He heard someone say and he turns to find an elderly man

"I am just looking out for someone". He said hurriedly before he could think

"Must be someone special". The elderly man said smiling, "Oh, he is going to get a slap".

He turns around to find that bastard holding her hand and it all took a minute before he was marching towards her removing his mask and hat in the process.

She slapped him hard.

Everything and everyone around them stopped looking at them.

"Don't ever think about holding anyone hand without their permission". She said angrily ready to leave when Falak grabbed her turning around, "Are you going to hit me because I bruised your ego?".

Just as Falak raised his hand to hit her someone grabbed his hands twisting it so hard that even she can hear that it was broken.

"What made you think you can touch her?". Awais growled as his raged know no end and it only starts to gets worse, "If I ever found that you came near her or any women at that, I will find you and kill you".

He turns around as his fury filled eyes fall on her and he grabbed her coat a little too hard placing it over her asking her to move in front of him while he followed.

The shock that she felt was nowhere near to register in her head. She can feel his anger sighs, groaning and more as he moves behind her and she feels her heart pounding harshly against her chest.

That's when she felt something else, the fluttering of her heart. But like they say a crush is better when they don't speak.

"What were you thinking?". He shouted startling from the daydreaming she's been in

"Excuse me?. It wasn't my fault, he held my hand". She said leaning against his car crossing her hand

He took two large strides and maybe she shouldn't be appreciating his long leg in this moment of her near-death but she can't help it.

He leans closer to her making the pounding becoming almost unbearable, "Trust me. I know you were not wrong neither I ever said you were. I know he is in wrong and it is taking all in my power to not go back in there and beat him until he can't even remember his name".

"What's stopping you?". She asked boldly

"You". He replied making her throat dried, "You should start thinking before you do things because, with everything you do, there will be consequences".

"It's my day off and I can do what I want". She said narrowing her eyes, "Which reminds me why are you here?. Are you following me?".

"F-Following you?". He said laughing nervously, "Why in the world will I do that?. I was just passing by and saw you, thought I should say hi".

"We are not close to saying hi to each other wherever we see each other". She stated

"That's the only regret I have right now". He mumbles sighing deeply, "So, is this the reason you decided to take a whole day off?".

"Precisely. I wanted to have a day where I don't see your face anywhere but it can't be helped". She said rolling her eyes

"Why?. Is it because you think of me even when I wasn't in front of you?". He asked excitedly

"No". She said blankly pointing to somewhere and he found his name flashing on the television with some rumours he could care less about, "You are everywhere. From my phone, television, newspapers to the billboard".

"Or maybe you just look for me everywhere". He said grinning adorably

She sighs, "In a year I thought you would know I am not interested in you".

"In a year of being with you, I thought I can change that". He said softly, "Guess we need more time".

"No matter how much time we have, somethings will not change". She said harshly making him frown

"Why is that?". He asked confused because she looks angry but the more he sees she looks hurt

He never hurt her though.

"Did I ever hurt you?". He asked genuinely wanting to know if he had done some mistake he didn't know off

"Maybe you have. Then, what will you do?". She asked angrily pushing past him to go back home to relax

He follows behind her, "I have to apologise and do my best to make it right".

"What if you are late?". She asked taking even faster steps down the road

"I will have to try harder". He said making her halt

She sighs, "I am in a bad mood. I don't want to see you. Can you leave?".

"No". He said shaking his head, "I am not that easy to get rid of".

"Trust me, I know. What do you want?". She asked anxiously

"What I want is what I can't say". He said making her frown and even when she is frowning, why does she look so endearing to him, "What you can do instead is stay with me".

"Why will I stay with you?". She asked tilting her head, "You have a whole fan club of people who will stay with you until you are old and wrinkly".

He shakes his head, "It's not the same".

"What is?". She asked

"They will stay with me for my wealth or the image I have made of myself in front of them". He said moving closer to her looking in her crystal clear eyes, "You will stay with me while knowing all my flaws, pointing them out and straightening me".

"I don't have to do that". She said

"Will you please do that for me?". He asked making her heart stilled, "No one ever stays. Can you?".

"It's not easy". She said sighing, "You are annoying".

"That can't be helped". He said shrugging

She chuckles softly, "You know you are weird".

"So are you". He said smiling lightly making her smile too

He never saw her smiling. But watching her smiling like this in front of him because he said something is something unfamiliar but warm. He felt the need to see and know more of her. He wanted to do so much with her.

"Did you use butter to have me buy you another car?". She asked turning around as she walks down, "If so, I am not that easy to convince and you are not buying a car".

"Why not?". He whined following her, "I bought my last car about a year ago".

"I bought my last phone two years ago". She said shrugging, "Your car takes you wherever you want, why the new one?".

"But I need the thrill of cars. Do you know how much I love them?". He asked as he looks at the people giving her glance especially male and he didn'tliked it so he glared at them making them run away

She turns around abruptly making his heart leap out of his chest at the sudden action.

"Why else do you love more than your cars?". She asked looking at him making everything around them vanish

"Can I say what I love?". He asked softly

"Why not?". She asked confused

"Will you tell me what you love then?". He asked

"Why will I?". She asked

"It's only fair that you answer a question when I am answering one". He said bending down to her level, "How about you tell me what you hate and I tell you what I love?".

She nodded as they counted to three.

"You".

"Yo--". He stopped mid-sentence feeling his heartbreak
