I walked out of the airport. I took out my phone and opened the message which my manager had texted me the address where I would live.
I took a taxi and in less than an hour I was in front of the appartment where I'll stay. It was raining heavily
I hurried inside to the receptionist.
At the same moment a girl entered. She closed her umbrella and her hair was kinda wet. She quickly came to the receptionist, standing next to me.
"Salut (Hi) " she said to the receptionist and I
"Hi" I replied and she giggled
"Am sorry. Hello" she said extending her hand forward and we shook hand.
"Am really really sorry I know am two hours late. It's because of this heavy rainfall. I missed my train first because of my friend and then" she was talking very quickly and the receptionist and I looked at each other and started laughing
She looked at both of us and realized that she was talking extremely fast
She joined us in our laugh
"Am sorry" she said in between her laugh
"Ms Zarah Malik, right?" The receptionist ask her
"Yea right" she replied
"Am extremely sorry but as u r two hours late, we thought that u won't come so we gave the flat to another person and we don't have any other which we can give u. All the flats are already booked" the receptionist said
"What! Oh god!" She said and her face turned pale
"It's all my fault. Where will I stay now" she asked herself kinda loud that we could hear her.
She looked at her watch and said
"It's already 23.00
Where will I go now?"
"Hey look, in my appartment there's two bedroom so u can stay in one and I'll be in the other one " I said
"Really! I mean r u sure?!" She asked and I nodded
"Omg thank u so much" she said happily
"No problem" I replied
We both walked and soon we were standing in front of a wooden door.
I opened the door and we both walked in. It was very beautiful. I loved the interior design.
"Wow! That's beautiful " she said
"Yea" I replied
"Zayaan" I said to her
"Ohh yea I forgot to ask your name" she said
"Zarah" she added and I nodded
We walked upstairs and there were two rooms.
"Uhm you can choose in which one you'll stay" I said
"Ok I'll take the second one" she said and I nodded
"Am going to fresh up for now ok" she said
"Uhh yea ok" I replied
I changed and then I walked down to the kitchen. I realized that I've not called aliyah yet.
I took out my phone and yea there was wifi
I called her and in a while she picked up
"Hello my love" I said as she answered
"Zay! How r u? You've reached there well?" She asked
"am fine and yes I didn't get any difficulties" I said
"What r u doing?" I asked
"Doing my homework for tomorrow. Wbu?" She asked
"I am in the kitchen and am hungry. Gonna find something to eat" I said
"And btw, I've got a friend. She's living with me." I said
"Friend? What's your friend name?" She asked
"Zarah " I replied
I told her everything about how we met and what happened and all
"Ahan alright" she said
"Ok am going now. And listen go to bed early ok " I said
"Yes sir" she replied with a giggle
"Ok bye I love you" I said
"Bye I love you tooooooo" she replied and I laughed
I disconnected and I turned around to saw Zarah
She wore a Mickey Mouse pajama and her hair in a bun. She was looking cute
"Girlfriend?" She asked as she opened the fridge
"Nope sister" I said as she looked at me
"Ohh ok" she replied
"She said hi to you" I said
"U told her about me" she asked and I nodded
"Am hungry" she said like a kid
"Same here ma'am" I said and she giggled
She opened the drawer and saw a packet of biscuit
She opened it and gave me
"Here u go. Have it" she said
"We have to do some shopping tomorrow. Like buy some stuff to eat and all you know" she added
"Yea" I replied
"So where r U from?" She asked
She's not the shy type girl who won't talk first. I liked that
"New York. I was living in uk for some years due to work and now I've got transferred to Houston. It's good tho cause I'll stay over there with my sister"  I said
"Oh great! What about your parents?" She asked as she took another piece of biscuit
I looked down and replied
"In heaven. They are no more. Dad passed away when my sister was one and mom passed away a few months ago" I said and she munched her biscuit slowly looking at me
"I'm sorry" she said
"No it's ok. And you" I asked
"Well, my parents are Pakistanis and I was born and raised in uk. My parents are divorced now and am their only child. Dad is a big business man and mom is the manager in a company in uk. So they are always busy you see. They barely got time for me. Dad married again and tbh I don't like his new wife. My parents gave me everything I wanted since my childhood and pampered me but they got no time for me. Like they give me money to enjoy with friends and all but no love and affection" she said
"Oh" was the only thing I could say
"They think that money will make me happy and all but they don't know that I lack their love. Well that's y to kinda destress myself, I go on holidays every year. This year it's the third time am in holidays" she said and I nodded
"You shouldn't stress yourself due to all these things" I said to make her feel better
"Yea I know"
She replied
"So what's the plan for tomorrow?" She asked
"Plan?" I asked her
"Yea" she replied
"Is it your first time in Paris?" She asked and I nodded
"Seriously. Ok I'll take you out tomorrow. I've lived in Paris for three years you know. Two years ago I went back to uk. That's y I said 'Salut' to u downstairs. I thought you were a French " she said and I laughed
"So u know French?" I asked
"Yess!" She replied
"I'll teach you later. Am feeling sleepy now. Goodnight " she said
"Goodnight " I replied with a smile

"Am 100% sure that this plan will work" Raihaan said excitedly. We were in my room. Raihaan came here to think about a plan. I walked to my window and inhaled
"U sure?" I asked as I turned around to face him
"Yess definitely!!" He said
"Alright I think that's a good plan " I said with a smile
"Alright then! Get ready for tomorrow!" Raihaan said and I nodded with a big smile on my face
He went away and I looked outside.
I can't wait for tomorrow! It's just the right plan I think....
