chapter 6

                                   1"I have googled everything now. India is behind in time. So when you wake up in the morning let's say around 6 am, it would be 2:30 am here but by the time you get ready for the hospital, I will wake up and we can talk. The time lag is good enough to compensate for our talks.I have seen a few apartments too near your university if staying in a hostel bothers you as I talked to Gourav, a friend of Tushar Sir. He said that sometimes there is bullying. You will be an outsider for other students so...", said Prague, and Zaini cut him in the middle."Waooo... Like really wao... I just can't imagine. You are now sounding like a big brother to me", said Zaini and smirked."Why do you have to always take things in the wrong ways? Can't you digest that someone cares for you?" asked Prague in a bit of irritation."It's just that I am not a little girl. I can handle myself. If I feel uncomfortable somewhere I will shift, If I am bullied, I will complain. I will make friends as soon as I reach there...", Zaini was going on but Prague interfered and said, "You will complain and you will be heard?? For South Korea only USA returning people are valuable. The students coming from other Asian countries do not matter to them."Zaini went silent after hearing this as she was also aware of all these facts."Look Zaini... I am not your enemy. I just want you to be safe and happy. Just for your happiness, I am agreeing to let you go... Otherwise, I want to keep you with me. I have never appreciated long-distance relationships but for your happiness, I am ready for that too. At least you can appreciate my efforts", said Prague calmly trying not to spoil Zaini's mood and their last date.But Zaini had different thoughts. She said nothing, as she was getting feelings like Prague was doing some kind of favors by knowing everything about  South Korea."I know... You must be thinking like I am bragging. But this is not the thing. I am in love with you and I want to be sure that wherever you are, you are safe and well. I have found some restaurants that offer vegetarian food too. I have bought a book on South Korean language learning. I will give you that tomorrow if by any chance you get stuck with some hardcore Korean driver there..", said Prague.Zaini's mood was again getting better after hearing Prague. She realized he went through extensive research for her dream place stay to be memorable and comfortable for her. She could feel his love and care for her.Zaini came over to Prague, which was sudden for Prague who was still speaking. Zaini placed her lips over his and they started kissing.They snuggled, cuddled, and kissed.Zaini came back from her romantic date and found Huma sleeping. She had been on dates earlier too with Prague but this was different.She wanted to tell everything to Huma who was sound asleep. Zaini changed her clothes and she went to freshen up. She was happy. Sleep was far away from her eyes. She called Prague and talked for a while. It was 3 am and she was still up. Finally, she woke up Huma."Please wake up... I can't sleep. It is my last night here", said Zaini."Ahhhh... I am sleepy", said Huma rubbing her eyes but she woke up.Zaini hugged her and said, "I had the best date of my life. Thank you so much!!""I just helped Prague a little bit. It was all his plan... I am quite impressed how Prague planned and did all in between the exams and also feeling jealous of you for having such an awesome boyfriend", said Huma.Zaini giggled.Both friends talked about how they two met and how all the 5years were so amazing. They recalled little incidents of birthday celebrations, Holi celebrations, watching horror movies at night, late-night Maggie, truth and dare, and knocking on others' doors at night around 3 am."Life has been amazing here. I really wish we could continue like this", said Zaini in tears.Huma consoled her and said, "Don't cry Zainuu... You are going to South Korea after this.""But you will not be there", said Zaini."But Your forever love Kim will be there..", said Huma and winked."Yeah... He is waiting for me to come to Seoul!! He is dying to meet me after all!" said Zaini in sarcasm.Huma laughed and then Zaini too.It was 6 am now. Zaini's Father was coming to pick her up around 9:30 am. She had to pack up her all stuff yet."Let's go in the mess and have tea for the last time", said Huma."Yes... Then I will pack up my stuff", said Zaini.As Zaini got up and bent down to wear her shoes, her hair moved to the right side of her neck, and Huma saw a red patch on the left side of her neck near to shoulder."Ahem.. Ahem... By the way, no one told me what happened between the love birds yesterday night", said Huma teasing Zaini.Zaini looked at Huma with a smile and noticed her watching at her neck. She settled her hair first and then said, "No one asked me...!""Ohhh... Now I am asking. Tell me... Fast. Spill all the beans quickly", said Huma."Let's get tea first then we will do "Chai pe charcha"..", said Zaini and laughed.Both of them got tea and settled on the table in the mess only. There was no one around.Zaini told Huma the whole story."Waooo.. I am feeling more jealous now", said Huma."Don't worry... You are getting engaged soon. You are going to enjoy everything even better than me", said Zaini and winked.Both the friends laughed hard.
