"How's your uhh...hand?" I asked him softly, while fiddling with the hem of the loose gown I was wearing. He looked up and scratched the back of his head, an action that I now understand he would do whenever he was nervous.
"Yeah...my hand it's good." He said and gently stroked his bruised red hand, which by the looks of it looked anything but good. I took a step towards him and instantly regretted it, pain shot up through my thigh temporarily blinding, me I gasped for breath.
"Zoya!" He said and grabbed me by my shoulders, and I could hear him wince in pain and the next moment I know I'm being lifted off from the ground and being carried bridal style somewhere.
Asad put me down on the infirmary bed, and hissed loudly his hand was even more red and swollen than before, it almost looked like a Sumo Wrestler's hand!
"The nurse is still there you should go to her and let her look at you hand." I said to him softly and he looked up from his hands and looked at me, and for the first time that day I felt my heart flutter. I quickly averted my gaze.
"Yeah..." He trailed off and went to the nurse and the next moment I saw Ayaan and Humeira rushing to the infirmary. Ayaan was holding an almost faint looking Humiera by the waist, I immediately felt guilty it was all because of me that she was so worried.
"Zoe! Goodness! Are you alright? We searched everywhere for you and Asad! Are you bloody out of your mind? Or do you just love giving people heart attacks? You have had 12 freakin' stitches! Do you get that?! 12 stitches! And what do you do? Go running around the school like a madman just because you heard that Asad broke his hand? I feel like slapping you across the face! Goddamn it!" She screeched loudly, I ducked inside the duvet I could almost feel her anger radiating.
"Oh no young lady, you are not going to hide your face away from me? Do you get that? I swear I'm going to kick your ass if you don't show me your face!" She screeched again and I curled up into a ball, no way was I going to face this mad woman!
"Miss Siddiqui please lower your voice, there are other students here too." The nurse sternly said and I could hear Humeira say something like buzz off'. I suppressed a giggle.
The next moment I knew the duvet was ripped off from me and I saw the nurse she looked at my thigh gave me a disapproving look and injected me something and I instantly fell asleep.
~*OoO*~Humeira
"I'm scared for her Ayaan! That's why I do that...I know I was wrong in shouting at her but wasn't she stupid herself? I mean she got 12 stitches and still all she cared was about Asad's stupid broken hand!" I said and heaved out a sigh, while Ayaan gently stroked my back.
"Humeira you're being too hard on her...You know she must've felt like it was her duty to check on him after all he was the one who brought her to the infirmary na!" Ayaan said and made me look at him.
"I have a feeling that this thing runs a lot deeper than just a sense of duty...I think she likes him." I said and Ayaan gave me a thoughtful look.
"Asad does of that I'm positive." He said and gave me a smile.
"How can you be so sure of that?" I asked him and a raised one eyebrow questioningly, Asad liking a girl was like Taylor Swift sticking with one guy. Impossible.
"Because, sweetheart he had a broken hand, and I'm pretty sure he fractured his knuckles and still he picked her up and brought her to the infirmary!" Ayaan said and I suddenly kissed him square on the lips.
"What was that for? Not that I mind it at all." He said and gave me a goofy grin.
"That was for showing me the light! God! It's been so long since I've been a matchmaker!" I said and clapped my hands in delight, Ayaan chuckled at my reaction.
"Well would you ever do something like that for me, Ayaan?" I asked him innocently.
"You know I would do anything for you Humeira, and that is a promise that I'll never break." He said seriously and took my small hands into his large ones; they fit perfectly together, almost like we were made for each other.
He kissed my forehead and I leaned against him and laid my head on his chest, breathing in his scent.
How on earth did I land up with such a beautiful guy?
~*OoO*~Asad
My hand was in a cast now which was making it very difficult for me to lie down on my side, I got up from my bed and saw that it was already 10 at night and I had classes tomorrow and still I could not sleep.
I sat down on couch infront the window and closed my eyes, and the first person that flashed across was Zoya. This was a whole new level for me, everything was different, I was falling for a girl who was a stark opposite of me.
For instances I was the golden boy, she was a walking trouble magnet. With fierce kohl-lined eyes, multiple piercings and hair streaked in every imaginable color, no one would ever have thought that I would fall for the bad girl.
I smiled at that one, wasn't it usually the good girl falling for the bad boy? But in my story it was the other way round, the good boy falling for the bad girl. I smiled again, I noticed that I doing this a lot since I'd met Zoya.
Though we had a fallout, I was willing to make it upto her and start afresh. If she needed time, then I am willing to give her all the time she needs.
Suddenly I got up and the next moment I see myself standing outside the infirmary, a quick peek confirmed that the nurse was sound asleep in her room. Gently I twisted the doorknob and carefully entered the room being extra careful with my broken hand.
Zoya was sound asleep in her bed, a faint smile gracing her lips; I went and sat beside her. She looked so peaceful when she slept that I was afraid that even the slightest of movement would cause her to wake up. I was going to pull her covers up when her eyes popped open; I almost jumped out of my seat.
"What are you doing here?" She whispered fiercely and sat up on her bed.
"I wanted to see if you were alright or not..." I trailed off, she quickly looked down but I had already seen the blush tinge her cheeks.
"Yeah...I'm good..." She said and started fiddling with her duvet, I placed my hand over hers and she looked up.
"C'mon there is something I need you to see." I said and her eyes went wide as saucers.
"Are you crazy? If you haven't noticed the nurse just gave me sedatives and I'm not allowed to walk." She said.
"I'll carry you." I offered and she looked taken aback, I was surprised at my own bluntness.
"What do you want me to see? And what about your hand...?" She asked me and eyed my cast.
"I'll be fine, c'mon now get up you don't want to miss this sight for the world." I said and smiled her eyes twinkling in the dark room.
"Asad I'm sorry for the uhh...argument earlier." She said softly.
"Don't worry I already forgave you, now c'mon get up already!" I said.
She smiled, took my extended hand and got up.
