Agh! I can't stand that attitude guy! Stuck in the lift for 3 hours?? With him?? That was like the most torturous torture ever! Is that even a word? Oh well who cares.

The way he had the freaking audacity to keep blaming me! Like WOW!

Right as I was about to go to bed, I hear a knock on the door.

"Saria? Ghumai gesis?" Kabir bhaia's voice was heard. (Are you asleep?)

"No." I say and open the door.

"Come out. Let's have a chat."

"This late?" I ask confused.

"I'll tell you about my feelings for Ezra." I instantly followed him to the balcony. I kept to myself, yes. But when it comes to these things. Specially with my family members, I am the most curious person ever. I even tried to help Sayan with his love life.

Though it didn't quite go as expected but still, I tried!

"I never really paid much attention to her. Whenever I went to their house I only talked to Ehaan and sometimes Ehsan. But never her. Sometimes I even forgot about her existance to be honest."

"How romantic." I say in a sarcastic voice.

"She hated me. She always did." he said while ignoring my failed sarcasm.

"Because you stole her teddy bear when we first met the Rezas." I chuckle as I remind him.

"Yeah." He admitted looking a bit guilty.

"Sooooo, what changed?" I urge him to continue.

"It was all fine and all. But then I noticed her again after so long in Rayan bhaia's engagement. She looked..." he paused, trying to think of the word.

"Beautiful? Gorgeous? Yours?" I tried to help. He looked at me surprised at the last word.

"You're getting so annoying these days. Anyways, I went over to her and tried to talk to her. You know what I saw? My name in her Mehendi."

My eyes widen in surprise.

"Hayeee Wow! So your dream came true? Are you two dating?" I ask excited. Already planning what design I'd do in Ezra's hand. Where I'd hide bhaia's name.

"No!" his voice disrupting my thoughts.

"Then?"

"I pretended like I didn't notice."

I facepalmed myself. "You. Are. Hopeless!"

"What? I- It wasn't her. Esma wrote it to prank her. I overheard them."

"Sooo like what's going on between you two? You friends? Enemies? Lovers or what?" I ask.

"I like, no I think I love her. But her? I don't know what she thinks. Whenever we talked, I'd tease her about the teddy bear and she'd threaten me."

"Is that how you think flirting works?" I ask while glaring. Still annoyed about the fact that he ignored his name on her mehendi!

He simply shrugged like it didn't matter.

"So like, you sat beside her on the plane ride. What happened there?" That's the only reason I sat beside Ehaan. Or else, I'd swap back.

"Esma switched seats with me."

I facepalmed myself for the second time. All that for nothing.

"Are you stupid or are you stupid?"

"Hey! Boro bhaiyer shathe ebhabe kotha bolte nei!" he defended himself. (That's not how you should talk to your older brother.)

"And when do you plan on confessing?"

"I don't know, I- Anyway, enough about me. Now, what do you think about marrying Ehaan?"

"I- WHAT?" I almost shout at him.

"Don't shout, people might wake up. It's a simple question. Come on, he is nice, he is tall and his personality is identical to yours. Your ideal type basically."

"Nice? HE is NICE? Wow. No! He is so annoying and-"

"Gosh then the elders' pairing might not work." he mumbled.

"Huh what?" I was even more confused now.

"Nothing."

"No tell me."

"That lift thing? It was actually Zaneera chachi's plan to get you two alone together to see how you hit off."

"It was WHAT?" I was completely shocked now.

"I told you this cause I trust you. Don't you dare ask them about it." he warned.

"So it was them all the time? WOW."

"Yeah, and I'm supposed to give them feedback. I'm saying it was amazing." he chuckled.

"If you do, I'll tell Mr Attitude you like his sister." I warn.

"Come on Saru. I know you more than you'll believe. You won't speak of it even if I myself forced you to marry him." he stated the obvious.

That's what I was. I'd never leaked secrets. Even if I blackmail anyone. I wouldn't actually ever leak a secret. Fariha knew quiet a lot of them but those secrets were of people she didn't know. I never named them so she wouldn't know who did what.

"Agh! Bhaia!" I say annoyed.

He chuckled. 

"Anyways it's getting too late now, go to sleep." 

I nodded and went inside my room. I let myself slop into the bed as I was exhausted. 

Suddenly, there was another knock on my door. People just can't let me sleep. Dear peace, what can I do to get you to like me?

I open to see Mr Attitude standing there.

"What do you want?" I ask in an annoyed voice.

"Manners. Something like, 'How can I help you?'"

"I'm not here to entertain you am I?" I say.

"Ofcourse not." he holds out his hand and I see my bracelet.

"How the hell do you have this?"

He shrugged. This guy!

"Well since you took it. You're going to help me put it on." I say stubbornly.

"No?"

"If you didn't take it. So it just magically appeared in your hands?" I say annoyed. That bracelet takes ages to put on just with the help of another person. It's my favourite bracelet so I never take it off.

"Agh, stop bickering I'll do it!" he finally says so I hold my hand out.

"It's too dark I can't even see." he complains as the hallway was basically pitch black.

I sigh and gesture him to come inside. The lights of my room were still lit.

He came in and the door automatically closed behind him.

"Done," he said with a 'so done' voice itself after closing the hook of my bracelet.

"Thank you Mr Attitude." I give him a fake smile.

He gives one back and turns around to open the door when-

"Why is it not opening?" he asked confused.

"Huh?" I go over and try to open it myself. But it wasn't opening.

"Not this again!" I say annoyed. I knew exactly what was happening.

I go over to my bed and take the phone on the bedside table and call the front desk.

"Yes, Ma'am how can I help you?"

"Hi I'm in room 303 and my door is not opening." I inform.

"Oh ma'am. We've shut all the doors because they needed to be shut while we fix the electric problem in the lift."

"There wasn't any problem was there? You were paid to shut it off. Come on, I want to sleep and there is this attitude dude is in my room."

"Sorry Ma'am, we don't know what you're talking about." she cut the line off.

AGH!

"What was that? Paid for what?" Ehaan asked.

"Nothing, just shush." I say annoyed.

"How am I supposed to go to sleep when I'm freaking stuck with you!" he says.

"Well it's not like I'm peacefully sleeping right now." I glare.

"It's your room! You can just freaking doze off." he stated the obvious.

"You know what? As a matter of fact, I will just doze off." I say and lay down on my bed.

"With the lights on?" He asked confused.

"Yeah, I don't have problem with lights. Just shush and don't make noises." I say and turn around.

Suddenly he starts whistling.

Agh! Why did I even tell him that?

"Shut up!" I say annoyed without getting up.

He starts whistling even louder.

I put a pillow in my ears and try and ignore it. But I could still hear him.

"Just stop!" 

"Nope. And you even slept on the plane. So stop complaining."

"No I didn't! I was awake the whole time. I even heard the freaking flight attendant calling me your wife!" I say truthfully.

I didn't want to talk to him that's why I acted like I was sleeping. The only reason I didn't go and swap back my seats with Kabir was because my seat was beside Ezra. Thought they'd have some time bonding. But that didn't happen.

So much effort to get nothing!

"And you didn't correct her?" he said in a grumpy voice.

"I was supposedly asleep! You weren't and even you didn't correct her! So shut up." I finally got up, annoyed. There wasn't a point in just laying down.

I couldn't sleep so I was replying to some emails from my phone. Rehan and Shazad were both fast asleep as if this was their first time sleeping. Snoring loudly.

Very loudly.

Kabir went outside for some reason. Which I obviously need to ask when he comes back.

The door of the room opens, revealing Kabir who came up to me and fake yawned. Feels like he is basically making fun of me for not being asleep.

"Where were you?" I ask.

"Went to talk to Saria. Oh-" he paused and held out a bracelet to me.

"What is that?" I ask even after knowing the answer. 

"A bracelet."

"No I meant why are you giving it to me?" I rephrase the question.

"To give it to Saria."

"Huh? What?" I ask confused.

"I don't how it came to me, and I'm too sleepy to go back to her room. Since you're not seeing any sign of sleepiness, you can go give it to her." he said like it was a normal thing to do.

"But-"

"Just go." he yawned again. "I'm too tired." he handed me the bracelet and started dozing off before I could say anything else. 

How lovely.

I stare at the bracelet for some time debating which is worse, hearing Kabir's lecture for not listening to him (which he knows I wouldn't that's why he gave it to me) or hearing Miss Firecracker's attitude voice.

Since the first one wasn't an option, without any other choice, I go out and go to her door and knock.

Is she even awake anymore?

Surprisingly, she opens the door.

After bickering, and I mean lots and LOTS of bickering, I finally agree to help her with the bracelet because I wanted to get over with it.

I couldn't see because of the dark so she let me in her room.

After helping her with the bracelet, I try to open the door to go out, but it wasn't opening.

Saria tried as well, but it was locked.

"Not this again!" she mumbled as if she knew exactly what was happening, which was probably the case, and went to call the front desk.

I couldn't make sense of half of her sentences. Apparently someone paid someone for something?

Who would pay for what this late?

When she got off the phone I asked her about it but she just shrugged it off.

"How am I supposed to go to sleep when I'm freaking stuck with you!" I say annoyed. I was already not sleepy, and now I can't sleep for the whole night!

"Well it's not like I'm peacefully sleeping right now." she glared at me.

"It's your room! You can just freaking doze off." I tell her.

"You know what? As a matter of fact, I will just doze off." she accepted the fact and laid down.

"With the lights on?" I ask confused. How can someone sleep with lights on? That's just hella weird.

"Yeah, I don't have problem with lights. Just shush and don't make noises." she turned around and tried to sleep making me even more surprised. But then it hit me.

I started whistling. Surely enough, she told me to shut up.

But will I listen? Of course not. I start whistling even louder.

She put another pillow over her ear, but obviously it didn't work thanks to my whistling practice (I never practiced whistling don't mind me) so she shouted "Just Stop!"

"Nope. And you even slept on the plane. So stop complaining." I say annoyed.

"No I didn't! I was awake the whole time. I even heard the freaking flight attendant calling me your wife!" she admitted which made me surprised.

"Then why did you not correct her?" I ask annoyed.

"I was supposedly asleep! You weren't and even you didn't correct her! So shut up." she gets up.

"Finally up your highness?" I say annoyed.

"Is it really still locked?" she asks. 

I checked again but it was the same results.

She got down from the bed and pulled another bed from under the bed. I didn't even know this was here in her room, Isn't it a single room?

She threw the blanket and the pillow at me.

"Sleep on the floor. And let me sleep in peace." She said grumpily.

"Why should I sleep on the floor when there is another bed?"

"Well it's still part of my bed so I'm not letting you sleep here." she said.

"Well, I'm not letting you sleep if you don't let me sleep on that bed." I reply.

"Agh! Fine. Take the bonus bed Mr Attitude. It's all yours." she said with a fake smile and turned around.

Honestly I don't want to stay here. But do I have another choice? No.

*The Next day.

I wake up by getting a pillow thrown at me. For a second I forgot whose room I was in and I thought it was Kabir, or even Rehan or Shazad playing pillow fight.

But then I saw her. Agh! This girl.

"Wakie wakie Mr Attitude. The lock works." she said.

I got up and left the room.

"Bhaia, where did you go?" Shazad asked me.

"I-" I wanted to say 'for a walk' but someone cut me off.

"To see his soulmate." Kabir put his arms around my shoulder.

"Who?" Rehan asked confused.

"You- Was it you?" I ask annoyed.

"Not really." he shrugged.

"You're becoming so much like Ehsan these days. Are you even Kabir Syed anymore?" I ask surprised and then pretend to check his temperature by putting a hand on his forehead.

"I am Kabir Syed!" he said.

There was a loud knock on the door that startled all of us.

"Everyone! OUT! It's time to start the day!" Saria shouted from outside. 

Of course it had to be her.

Always her.
