Chapter 10

Zain' POV

I took a paper and read the name "Shiza Waseem"... thanks to God that Eva was not my partner. But now who was Shiza. One more task...now I'd to find my partner but what if she would be worse than Eva.

"What has written, speak it loud" professor Hemant rolled his eyes.

"Shiza" I spat out. I looked at the class for my partner.

"Sit next to her" professor Hemant pointed at Her...waitttt...Her name was Shiza... God...

Maybe God wanted us together,  I smiled and sat next to her.

Our shoulders were touching, I could see...  She was feeling uncomfortable.

"Hey, I'm Zain", I outstretched my hand ...as we were going to work together so I tried to initiate the conversation.

"Hi, I'm Shiza"  She ignored my hand.  It felt like an insult, I didn't know what was the problem with these nerds.

"Sorry, I don't touch boys," she said .. it seemed she read my expressions.

"Leave it, we should talk about the topic, so would you mind coming with me after class" I forced a smile.

"Where..library?"

"Your wish, you can also come to my dorm " I replied simply.

"I think the library is a better option" she hesitated.

"Okay, see yaa" And the bell rang.  I moved towards Abid and Mike.

Shiza's POV

Why he had to be my partner,  I frowned.  He was like a distraction for me and I wanted to keep the distance from him but it seemed Allah wanted something else.

We had decided to meet after class and I was too tired to take the next class so I went to my dorm.

Lana was already there, She was writing a journal. Well, I always wanted to keep a journal, but I failed every time.

"Hey, do you want some food," I asked throwing my bag to my bed. My stomach was grumbling so I bought some cookies and cupcakes.

"You know, I love eating " she snatched the cupcake from my hand, I smiled. She was cute just like Maya... I started missing her again...

She was ignoring me...idek what happened between her.

Believe me, it hurts like hell.

I should talk to her... she would listen to me I know.

I saw the clock, I have to go now. I put on my favorite black cotton long shirt,  with grey trousers and grey hijab. I put on some mascara and lipstick and admired myself in the mirror. 

Zain was fifteen minutes late. I hate when people don't show themselves on time. Finally, he came and smiled.   Gosh...his smile will kill me someday.  But the next second I realized that I was staring at him... I averted my gaze.

We talked about our topics. He seemed to be a nice guy, we exchanged our number. I said goodbye to him and moved a step towards my dorm.

I met Maya in the aisle,  She was looking weak and sad.

" Maya" I shouted her name.

She stopped and turned her face towards me.

" Maya,  we need to talk" I pleaded.

She didn't speak a single word and started moving on.

I ran after her and grabbed her arm.

"I miss you" I almost cried.

Her facial expressions became soft, I could see there were tears in her eyes, sadness all over her face. 

"Maya, are you okay" I pulled her into a hug.

"Everything is finished" she sobbed.

"What...t..do....you...me..mean" I stuttered.

"I don't want to live anymore " she cried in my arms.

I took her to a nearby park, we sat on the bench.

"Now, tell me what happens," I said squeezing her hand.

She stared at my face for a while, then sighed...

"Tell me Maya" I scoffed.

"I..i...am...preg...pregnant " she spat out...

"What.." I was shocked, I looked at her with wide eyes.

"This baby belongs to...Lakshya?" I was still in shock.

She nodded.

"He knows about this?"

"Hmm...and He denied to accept this. He called me a slut,  he said ..." She cried her eyes out.

And I felt like my heart is shattered into pieces. We both hugged and cried together.

"Don't cry for him plss, we will find a way, I will talk to him"  I tried to console her.

I requested Lana to exchange a room with Maya's roommate... I can't leave Maya alone... She needs me...

"Shiza, I'm sorry, I ignored you for a week,  I thought you would hate me," She said with a sad smile.

"How could you think,  listen to Maya,  I'm always with you no matter what the situation is. I love you the most, how could I hate you" I pulled her into a hug and she smiled.

"I'm starving " she pouted.

"Okay let's go and grab something 1."

As we stepped in my blood boiled.  Lakshya was laughing with his friends.  This was the first time when I didn't notice Zain.

I squeezed Maya's hand, her hand felt like ice.

I moved my step towards them. I stopped in front of Lakshya.  They started looking at me. Lakshya raised his brows.

I slapped hard on his face. " I will make you pay for it" they all stood there in silence and shock.

Lakshya groaned but I moved my step towards Maya completely ignoring him
