She admired him in secret, while he remained completely unaware of her existence.
She prayed to marry him, while he prayed for another woman.
She loved him wholeheartedly and he did too.
But his heart belonged to someone else.
The hospital corridors were chaotic, as usual.
Accident victims were being rushed in one after another. Amid the noise, a man lay unconscious on a stretcher, his body stained with blood, injuries marking every visible inch of skin.
"Nurse, get the patient's details and contact his family. Quickly.", the doctor ordered.
Zoya, passing by with her equipment, glanced toward the commotion.
Another accident case, she thought, her heart tightening with sympathy.
"Ya Allah, please save him.", she whispered under her breath.
She turned to leave, but then her eyes landed on the man's face.
Her steps faltered.
Her breath stopped.
"Shaan...?"
The world around her blurred.
"Ma'am, none of his family members are answering the call.", the nurse informed the doctor.
Tears welled instantly in Zoya's eyes.
Without thinking, she stepped forward.
"Ma'am... what happened to him? Please, treat him quickly.", she pleaded.
The doctor turned toward her, confused.
"And who are you to him, miss?"
For a moment, Zoya couldn't answer.
Then, in a trembling voice, she said,
"His... friend."
Zoya is a Biology student currently pursuing her PhD at Aurobindo College and Hospital. She completed her undergraduate and postgraduate studies at SSR College. An ambivert with very few friends, she rarely speaks and has little interest in boys. She loves spending time in the library, a true representation of a typical "nerd."
Shaan, on the other hand, is a software engineer. He is also an ambivert with a small circle of friends. While he speaks little around strangers, he opens up and talks a lot once he feels comfortable. He loves attending parties and would go to any extent to prove his love, a classic example of a charismatic yet reserved personality.
