The Billionaire's Protection

chapter 16

I feel sad for Zaki.... bechara! poor kid! Ehehehehhehe! 

N'Joy!

++++++++++++++++++++++

i knocked the door 3 times and Zaki opened it. 

"Bhai?" he asked me gesturing me to enter

"Uh..yeah....." I said feeling uneasy. 

Who would want to talk to their younger brother's about the girl they like who eventually likes the younger brother? Get it? nope? Even i did not get that! Never mind....

I walked in and saw Hasti looking down at the book in her hand. She was reading I think there is plenty of space in the house to read apart from Zaki's room! 

"Ahh... salaam" I said to Hasti and she looked up. 

All of a sudden that calm facial features turned into shock and surprised features. What was that? 

Her hand went up to her heart and she took deep breaths. 

"Is she okay?" I asked Zaki

"Yes Bhai she is fine, it usually happens.. lately" replied Zaki. 

I turned to Zaki. 

"I need to talk to you, now" I said and he gave me a puzzled look

"Talk now?" he repeated and i nodded. 

"Cool- be right out!" he said and went to Hasti. 

he whispered something to Hasti and she nodded smiling at him. 

I have to admit, they do look cute together.... Ya Allah, I thot I asked you not to attach me to something that is not meant to be miiinnnee! I mentally whined. 

I walked out. since ammi was downstairs and Hasti was upstairs, one place was left; the terrace. 

"Bhai?" called out Zaki. 

I snapped out of my trance 

"Terrace" I replied and he jogged to keep up with my long strides. 

++++++++

I set on the swing up on the terrace as Zaki laughed uncontrollably. The fella needed a slap on his face! 

He started laughing when I asked him about the whole deal with hasti. 

It went something like this: Please don't laugh!

Flashback:

I sighed and since I was nervous as hell, I took deep breaths. 

"Zaki?" I said and he nodded

"Bhai are you okay?" he asked 

I smiled knowing he is there for me... 

"Uh yeah... Zaki be honest with me, please?" I asked him and he gave me a puzzled look

"What happened bhai?" he asked me

"You like Hasti or not?" I asked in a serious tone. 

Coz if he did, I swear I will make sure he gets her!

"Say what?" he asked again leaning in to hear properly

"You like Hasti or not?" I asked him

he looked at me and then smirked. 

"Why ask?" he questioned

"Coz of this!" I replied frustrated with all the emotions building in me, while holding up the book.
