CHAPTER 6

CHAPTER 6 : The Sweet Doc

------------------------------------------------------

"You are so sweet Mr-"She stopped mid-way looking for the name of the man standing in front of her.

"Augustus-Augustus Hueston" Augustus introduced himself.

"And you are?" He asked .

"Zeheb-Zeheb Yousuf" She smiled. The way her doe eyes crinkled around the corner when she smiled , made Augustus's lips curve a bit from the sides in a small smile.

Seth who had just woken up from his sleep, coughed seeing this this.

"Sorry , I didn't disturbed you right?" He asked Augustus who wanted to yeet him out of the 9th floor they were at .

"Ofcourse you didn't " Augustus gritted his teeth and rolled his eyes. For the first time , his eyes had found any person in this world attractive and Seth had to ruin it.

"So-Mr Fawad , did you had any food since morning?" She asked to check him and seemed serious now.

"So..Mrs Zeheb-" Seth interrupted the check up and she looked at Seth.

"It's Miss-and how can I help you?" She politely asked.

"Can you tell me do you handle the first aid cases too? Like if a person is injured , do you bandaid the wounds too?" He asked and Zeheb shook her head.

"No-it's not my department. But I surely do know how to do it " Zeheb replied while flicking her finger on the injection to release the air bubbles , before she inject it to Fawad.

"Really?" Seth looked at Augustus with a teasing look.

"Soo-I have heard few doctors work extra hours in orphanage to provide service as charity, do you do that too?" He asked , while Zeheb injected the injection in Fawad .

She hummed in a reply.

"Which orphanage?" Seth asked .

"Little Flowers in West Delhi" Zeheb mumbled the reply . She was getting a bit distracted by all the questions which Seth was asking , but she kept herself calm .

After a few more minutes of continuous interview , Zeheb finally finished her work and bid farewell to others.

As soon as she left , Augustus punched Seth on his back hardly.

"Why were you annoying her?" Augustus was pissed.

"What would she think about us?" Augustus worriedly said.

"For her to think something...we should come in front of her again . Atleast we got information. You can go to those places and possibly donate a little . And Voila ! She will fall in love !" Seth said .

"Love isn't that easy" Augustus rolled his eyes.

"Love is . Especially the love of girls . Woman fell in love with actions " Seth told Augustus confidently.

"You both are fools to think she gave you real information" Fawad said while taking a sip of the soup and he stopped in his moments.

The soup gave him a throwback of nostalgia. He remembered himself going to a shop around the corner of the busy streets to drink it . The shop was always empty , but the food quality was great . He didn't suggested it to anyone too , so that it can remain his little secret. But with the passage of time , as life got busy , he left visiting that shop along with the other things he seeked pleasure in .

"Fawad !!"Seth's voice brought him back to reality.

"Huh?" He asked cluelessly.

"Come back to reality princess" Seth sarcastically said.

"Gosh-what was I saying?" Fawad asked again to confirm what was he talking about.

"You were saying something about her lying about her info and then you went in falalala wonderland" Seth told him.

"What he means to say is-you got lost in your thoughts" Augustus rolled his eyes.

"Okay...yeah-basically there is no such orphanage as Little Flowers in West Delhi. I have been there many times , but didn't saw any single one with that name there" Fawad said.

"What if it's hidden?" Augustus asked .

"Hidden? You stupid . Ladies lie all the time if they find a person annoying" Fawad said and Augustus frowned.

"Everyone is different don't generalise" Augustus defended.

"I don't think that's the case. Dad told me this , and I don't think he is ever wrong about anything" Fawad said.

"Respectfully. Your dad's opinions are as important as white crayons" Seth told Fawad while walking towards the door and a guard came with a tray with two tumblers full of cold coffee in them and one cup of espresso.

"You think I would drink a cold coffee just after you insulted my father?" Fawad asked.

"Well-I have two things to say . First , I wasn't insulting , I was stating a fact and second, what made you think it's for you ? I can drink even 10 cups of coffees without bothering to offer it to anyone " Seth said while taking a sip from both and sitting down.

Fawad closed his eyes to calm himself down .

If there was an award for being the most annoying person , it would go to Seth with that unfiltered mouth of his .

He even used to reply sarcastically to Fawad's father . He was the most feared man in the family , but the one person he tried to avoid at all cost was Seth.

Fawad just looked on the side and his eyes again fell on the bowl of soup and memories of past night again flooded in his mind. But for some reason , not matter how much he tried , he couldn't bring his focus on killing the man , instead just wanted to find more about the girl who helped him last night .

"Augustus" He called out and the other looked at him.

"Yes?"

"Find out about that girl . Her name , address . Everything"

Seth just sipped from both the coffee tumblers listening to that .

"Why?" He asked.

"I want to meet her" Fawad said after thinking for a while.

"Why?"Augustus asked in an unbothered tone.

"I want to know more about her" Fawad simply replied and stirred the soup with his spoon and took another sip.

Safia:

Ismail:

Safia :

Ismail Calling

Safia quickly picked up the phone and started to tell him about everything which happened last night , while preparing breakfast for herself to go to job .

She tossed the bread on the pan and made sure both the side were fried properly . She put them on the plate and poured tea. The phone was balancing between her right ear and neck as she kept telling him everything.

The chai was hot and it's vapours were mixing with the air . Today was a better day than the rest . Atleast she was feeling that way . She was tired due to not sleeping the whole night , but the fresh air felt like a boon .

She sipped the tea while continuing to tell Ismail everything in detail .

"Okay...so that's all what happened right?" He asked from the other side of the phone.

"Technically yes" Safia said .

"Oh-Can I say something Safia?" He said and she hummed while chewing on the piece of bread.

"You are stupid. He's a criminal ! If someone see you with him , they would surely doubt that you are his accomplice and try to kill you. Is it that hard to understand" Ismail started scolding her . She tried to explain that how she couldn't leave a man in front of her to die , but her arguments felt stupid to Ismail and the scolding continued , for what she felt like hours.

"Ismail !! You are awake from hours and still laying down in the bed ! You fool get up and go to the shop to help your abbu !" His mother screamed from the side.

"Ji Ammi" Ismail said quickly sitting up on the bed lazily.

"I will talk to you later . I still have a lot to explain to you " Ismail said and Safia hummed , feelings grateful that his mother interfered , because she won't be able to bear all the anger .

Safia smiled and cut the call , but then within a few seconds her phone rang again making her frown . It was her boss.

Mr Khadoos calling

She frowned and picked up the call.

"Safia-safia ! Come to-Come to restaurant quickly" He stuttered and fear was evident from his tone .
