Zoya used to visit Sunshine orphanage and play with children every Sunday, where she and Humeira grew up after their parent’s sudden death. Today was also no different.
She had blindfolded her eyes with a red blindfold and was trying to catch children playing there with her. She raised her hand in the air and fumbled around in every direction, looking for others when she collided with a someone and fell into the mud with him. She removed the blindfold from her eyes to see where she was and a pair of familiar dark brown orbs looked back at her.
Those two familiar orbs belonged to one of the most handsome man she has attracted to, Asad Ahmed Khan. She couldn’t take her eyes off him. Neither could he. His eyes bore into her soul with intense passion. The laughter of the children brought them into reality with a jolt.
They were lying in the mud close to the person they were very attracted to. There was mud stuck in their hair, hands, and clothes, yet none of them wanted this to end. Realizing the situation and being embarrassed, they looked everywhere else but each other.
It drew Asad’s eyes to her simple yet mesmerizing beauty. They stood up from the floor, and started stealing the glance from each other in embarrassment.
After a long silence, Asad broke the ice, “Aap yahan?” breaking it.
She smiled and said, “Every Sunday I visit here every Sunday. This is my second home after my parent’s death.”
“Oh, I am sorry. I didn’t know,” he apologised, as he felt sorry for her.
She interrupted, “It’s okay Mr. Khan, I have no regrets of being a part of this family. I love this place,” an adorable smile crept on her lips, replacing the ghost of sadness that had appeared at the memory of her parents.
Then she continued with a frowned, “Aap yahan?”, asked Zoya with confusion when they were washing their hand which were covered with mud.
He exhaled, “Ah! Nothing. I just came here to donate some he replied. hesitatingly and showing towards her stained hair.
“Really! It’s so nice of you,” she smiled and then again fell silent after realizing that she was completely wet.
One child turned on the tap again and sprinkled water from a water pipe. Asad was staring at the water droplets dripping from her wet hair and her rose-like face.
She looked down, feeling shy when the children started showering water on them, as they were already wet. They joined the game with full enthusiasm and showered water on the children. However, A boy hid behind Asad when she was showering water on him. Her eyes met with Asad’s and they forgot everything except each other.
The tap was on. As the pipe was showering the water, she felt embarrassed as she was drenched, and he offered her his blazer to cover herself being a gentleman and turned away.
This was the time of realizing the pink shade of attachment for each other’s beauty, presence, feelings, and emotions.
