Abeer's POV

The first rays of sunlight lit up the room. The golden rays of the sun poured through the window creating a disturbance in our peaceful sleep.

I tried to change my direction from that side, where the sunlight was coming on my face only then realisation hit me about the current situation. I remembered what happened last night and slowly tried to open my eyes.

"After opening my eyes, I encountered the most beautiful face of the world. She looks so innocent while sleeping, that cannot be defined in few words. I did not find anyone in my life, sleeping so peacefully till now. To see her smiling face is the best thing in the morning to start your day with."

"I did not even realise that after how many years of sleepless nights, Yesterday I slept so coolly."

"I can see her whole life sleeping peacefully with her smiling face, like this, but then suddenly I felt the pain and then the only realisation hit me about my accident and injuries, I still have."

"Ouch!", I screamed in pain, trying to release my hand which Khushi was holding for a long time.

She woke up rubbing her eyes from her deep sleep after hearing me screaming so loudly. And then she looked at me, then looked at herself and suddenly screamed so loudly that my eardrums just saved from torn apart and I just got saved from getting a heart attack.

"Why are you shouting like this girl?", I asked her groaning in pain.

"What are you doing here?", Khushi asked being stunned.

"As far as I remember you slept in my bedroom last night, how did you get here?", Khushi asked scratching her head, being confused.

"Oh! being restless, feeling thirsty in the night, I came here to drink some water and only then I saw that you are scared in your dream, so I sat beside you to help you and fell asleep sitting there", I said while making an excuse and I was wishing in my mind that she could believe this excuse as true.

And all of a sudden she became completely silent as if she was trying to hide something from me.

"Hey! What happened Khushi ?", I asked being concerned about her.

"Umm...No...Nothing"!, She said thinking something.

"Maybe she is not feeling comfortable in telling me, I thought in my mind, that's why I also let that thing go.

"I will be late for my work", Khushi screamed, after watching the time on the wall clock and started running here and there just like a small child.

"Hey! Sshshh....just calm down girl", I said, comforting her.

"Okay then...You go and take some rest. I am going to the washroom, get freshen up and then make breakfast for us and then get ready to leave for my work", Khushi told me, making a bun of her.

And that moment, seeing her making the bun, was the cutest gesture by her I have seen till now.

"Okay...okay. I am going to take a nap and you can continue with the rest of your work. I told her, to calm her down but I guessed that it was of no use because she was still in rush.

Khushi's POV

After opening the shower, soaking myself in that heated water, feeling it hug every inch of the skin so gently I started thinking about the incident Mr. Stranger was talking about that happened last night. Nevertheless, I cannot reveal the truth behind that nightmare in front of a stranger. But now I have to make myself more aware while sleeping because I am no longer alone in the apartment. Now He is with me. And if he gets the slightest clue, he will easily find out the truth.

I started thinking about that incident that made my life hell and dragged me here from India. I opened the tap also so that the sound of my crying could not go out and closed my eyes and put my hand on my mouth, and started crying, remembering that accident.

I felt light after crying for a long time and then immediately took bath and came out of the Bathroom changing myself into my working uniform given by the hotel itself to all the hotel staff members.

But after coming out I could not see him anywhere, I thought he must be taking a nap on the bed but to my surprise, he was nowhere in the bedroom. So I hurriedly rushed towards the living room to look after Mr. Stranger sudden disappearance.

And I was surprised to see him working in the kitchen.

"What are you doing Mr. Stranger?", I asked him, being surprised.

"Just preparing breakfast for both of us", Mr. Stranger replied calmly, making my mouth half-opened and my eyes widened in shock.

"But what was the need of doing this?", I asked being impatient.

"You are injured Mr. Stranger, Have you forgotten this?", I said to him, angrily.

"I was just coming. You didn't need to do all this", I mumbled, crossing my both hands over my chest.

"But I didn't do anything so big, I just prepared the toast and put some butter on the toast and from the refrigerator took out the orange juice from the bottle and poured it in the glass. That is it.", Mr.Stranger replied in a calm tone.

"So just chill girl...Calm down...No need to worry", Mr.Stranger replied, and this time with a smiling face.

"And maybe I saw such a smile on his face for the first time", I thought in mind.

"Are you not getting late now? Let's have breakfast soon or else you will start running here and there again." Mr. Stranger asked me, raising his eyebrows that brought me out of the world of my thoughts.

"His words reminded me of my father, he used to scold me in the same way. However, things have been changed now", I reminded myself and went to breakfast.

"You have your breakfast till then I also go and freshen up myself", I told Khushi and went to the washroom.

"Okay But Remember to eat your breakfast and then take proper rest",  She said shouting from behind.

While washing my face, I heard the doorbell rang and when I came out I found no one around but a note on the table written by Khushi.

"I am getting late for the job I am going with my friend without meeting you but you should take your breakfast and then rest properly. Take care Mr. Stranger",  a smile of happiness came on my face while reading this message from hers.
