"What on earth do you think about yourself Zoya? Why did you move away from the place where I told you to say? Don't you know you could have been in danger?"
Asad yelled at Zoya shaking her vigorously while Zoya kept on looking at him intensely. She was amused to see his reaction. Slowly freeing herself from his grip she told,
"Chill Mr. Khan. I am the one who is supposed to protect you and not the other way around. I can protect myself and that's what I had done till now in my life. So I suggest you stop worrying about me. Now, if you could please follow me, I would like to get out from this wretched place"
With that she walked away leaving a numb Asad behind.
"Why don't you let me protect you Zoya? Am I not worth it?"
