Zaina's POV
"Are you stupid? You will be considered as a terrorist and will be either encountered if you try to run away or will be in the custody for a lot of time. You don't have anything to prove yourself as innocent man who came to India by mistake through God knows what way. I understand your worries but we will find out a way and you can stay here for few days till we find any solution" I said and gestured him to sit.
I know that it's so so wrong to let anyone stay in your home that too from another country. But I have read psychology and I am really good at reading people. The way I found him and he reacted to all my questions I am sure he is really in trouble and is safe.
If I let him go from my home and something happens to him then I will never forgive myself for taking someone's life when I could have saved him. I took the oath that the I will work for the mankind and will always be true to my patients so I will help him through it no matter what.
"How are you so sure that I am not a terrorist and you are even letting me, a complete stranger to you live in your home. What if I try to kill you at night?" he asked with narrowing eyes as if he was doubting me.
"I had read psychology and I can easily find out when someone is lying or faking. I have been observing you from the first time you tried to get in front of my car. I believe in God and I think maybe I am just the medium for you to be safe and reach your home safe" I said and cleaned the table.
"Can I use your phone? Please I need to tell my ammi some excuse so that she won't worry" he asked me with puppy eyes and I passed him my phone.
"Hello" a woman with a very tired voice spoke and I looked at zayyan's expression as he gulped hard to stable his voice.
"Am...mmiii" he stuttered and there was a complete silence for a minute and then his mother started asking him questions.
"Zaayyyyann!! Where are you? From whose number you are calling? It is not of Pakistan. I have been so worried for you and you know I asked Zakir to find you and he only found your car at some desert road. We were going to file a missing complaint for you. You were never this irresponsible zayyyann!! Hania is 5 months pregnant you know how many complications are there and we didn't told her anything to not worry her and Zakir was continuously calling you but your phone was switched off" his mothere ranted worriedly and he chuckled.
"Ammi!! I forgot to tell you that I had a very important company work in India. I was not informed earlier so I thought I will call you after reaching here but as soon as I came out of the airport my phone fell down and got broken so it's my friend's number, Zaina. Don't worry I am safe and it will take sometime for me to reach home. Take care of yourself and say my greetings to Zakir and Hania" he said to calm her down.
"India? But why so suddenly? Have you eaten something? You don't even know anyone there and Zakir is also not with you. One of my friend lives in Kashmir and if you feel alone there you can contact her but I have to find her number. Last year when I got my new phone some contacts were displaced so was hers. Take care baccha and hope you come back with success and happiness" she blessed him and I felt my eyes tearing up feeling motherly love so close for the first time.
He hung the call after replying to her and assured her that he will contact her soon after work.
"Thank you so much Zaina. I will forever be grateful to you for all your help. I will repay you for this one day" he said with a smile and I nodded my head.
"Is Zakir your brother?"
"You can say that he is my best buddy and we have known each other from 22 years. Hania is his wife and she is 5 months pregnant. Though her doctors advised her to not go with it but she didn't listen to any of us. Her health is a bit unstable nowadays and she is on complete bedrest" he answered and I nodded praying for her well being.
"What about your family? You live here alone?" he asked me.
"I have a big brother, Ibrahim who lives with his wife and son in Delhi because of his work. They visit me from time to time as we don't get much time from our busy schedule" I told him and he nodded in understanding.
I sat at a bit distance from him and we discussed many possibilities but none seem as a completely safe idea. But an idea struck my mind and I immediately stood up excitedly.
"I have an idea. You can ask Zakir to come and bring your passport and visa with him. Then you can go to your home safely without any interrogation" I told and he smiled widely.
"Fantastic! I will ask Zakir for the same" he said and I passed him my phone.
He called Zakir and explained him everything in a short not telling exactly for the privacy. Zakir agreed but he didn't have a visa so he asked for 1 and half month time to complete all the formalities. He talked to me and requested that I take care of his brother.
"I am not a kid who needs to get babysit" he whined looking at the phone with narrowed eyebrows. I chuckled looking at him and assured Zakir that he will be fine with me but he has to do everything fast before anyone finds out.
"What will I do for a month?" he said and grabbed his head tightly.
"Do whatever you want but inside the home only. Don't roam outside otherwise we will have to answer many people unnecessarily" I told him and he nodded.
"You don't have clothes with you so come with me to the nearby store and buy some clothes to wear" I told and soon we reached a outlet of Allen Solly.
I bought 5 pair of trouser and tshirt for him and 2 formals in case. I got a little awkward when he went towards the undergarments section and I turned around swiftly.
After paying the bill and taking the clothes. I stopped at a grocery shop and bought few items for the snacks as I will go to hospital in the morning and will be late so if he wants he can have them.
We reached home and I showed him a room beside mine and helped him arrange the items though he denied but he was my guest so I had to be welcoming.
"Thank you so much Zaina!! I feel guilty you spent so much money on me but please trust me! I will pay you back soon after reaching my home" he felt a bit embarrassed and I shook my head.
"Not an issue!! Just rest for now, you are still injured and take these medicines after having dinner. You are free to roam and use things as you are going to stay here for a month so be comfortable" I said and went inside my room.
I took a relaxing shower and then made dinner for both of us. I know he is in need and is a good guy from the way he behaves and the way he talked to his mother.
I will help him as much as I can. To be honest I never felt what does it feel like to live with someone or have someone waiting for you after you come home tired.
I felt a little bit jealous when my colleagues talk about how they are in so hurry because of their children or spouse. It's not like I don't believe in love but I want someone with whom I will be comfortable and will understand me.
We had our dinner talking and he asked me about my work and then I told him my daily routine. After cleaning in which he helped me too, we wished good night and retired to our room.
I laid down on my bed and closed my eyes feeling so relaxed after the whole day and soon sleep engulfed me.
