How many times, he will end up hurting her?

JANNAT KHAN (age 18)

First year student in eagle college.

A sweet soul, who cares for everyone. Sacrificing herself for others is not a big or a new thing for her. What will happen when she be forced to hurt the people she loves? Which limits she would be on, that she will start thinking about grieving a person intentionally?

We can see a guy laying on bed. He was covered with the blanket till his waist. The peaceful silence of the room was broken by the shrill tune of phone call. He picked up the phone from the side table without opening his eyes and placed it on his ear.

" Hello!?" he asked in his sleepy voice.

" Shah wake up and come to college. " Hassan said.

Yes! The guy laying on the bed is Zaroon ali shah. He groaned and opened his eyes running a hand over his face.

" You do realise that I have returned around 3 am in the morning and I need to sleep right now?" Zaroon said stating the facts. He had been gone for a wedding to Dubai and just returned last night. He planned to have an off today.

" I know, but there’s an important lecture today, so you need to come. "Hassan said.

" I will handle it later. Right now, I just want to sleep. "Zaroon said closing his eyes.

"Shah get up before I have to come and make you do it. "Hassan said and Zaroon groaned sitting up.

"Okay "he said grudgingly. There weren’t a lot of people who could use this tone with Zaroon and he would let it go.

Zaroon got out of his soft plush bed covered in dark bedding. It went well with the dark theme of his room. The only colours used in it were chrome black and white.

After an hour, a beautiful black Mercedes entered the college premises. Many eyes turned towards it. Some contained admiration, other jealousy, but there wasn’t anyone who could avoid it.

Zaroon parked his car and got out. He was dressed casually, but the way he carried himself. It was enough to melt girls. Zaroon knew his effect on girls very well.

Even then, he could feel the gazes of the girls. He carried on without caring. It wasn’t the first time the girls were noticing him or the guys were getting jealous. With his looks and his status, it was a normal thing. His dark soul sucking eyes forced the girls to lose themselves in it. His shiny silky hair was more than a handful. The beard covering his jawline was neatly trimmed. His lips full and plum. There wasn’t a single thing undesirable or just okay in him.

Hassan saw him coming and headed towards him. He was the only true and trustable friend, Zaroon had. He had brown hair and warm brown eyes. If he was light than Zaroon was the darkness. And it was true in more than one sense.

"Class is about to start.” Hassan said clapping Zaroon’s hand.

They headed towards their class. "Areej was asking about you again.” Hassan said with a teasing smile, but a look from Zaroon was enough to shrink it. "I don’t know why she can’t get my no! “Zaroon said pinching his lips together.

Areej was his junior by a year, who was crazy about him. She wasn’t the first girl who was at this point. But she could definitely be the most stubborn one. Girls got attracted by him, but his behaviour soon made them realise that nothing could happen. But Areej, she wasn’t ready to understand it.

After class, Zaroon and Hassan went for their football practice. They had an important match in a few days. Coach saw them coming and barely controlled his anger.

"Finally, you both decided to show up. Can I know the reason of missing practice for so many days? “he asked in a strict tone.

"Zaroon was out of the country due to some family plans and I couldn’t come as well due to some family issue. "Hassan said scratching the back of his neck. It was the lamest explanation he could come with, but coach couldn’t do much with them.

Rivalry with Zaroon ali shah wasn’t something he could afford. And fortunately, he was one of the best players on his team. He couldn’t afford to lose him just before the match.

"Okay, change and start with the warm up. "coach said and they headed towards the changing room. Football was something, Zaroon and Hassan enjoyed from a young age. But it wasn’t something, they wanted as a profession.

They had set up their own business from the age of 18. They wanted to make their name without the help of their parents. Both belonged to strong families, but the craze to make their own name drove them to do all the hard work.

Now after 5 6 years, they were known for their own hard work in the society. The small business they had started was now one of the biggest companies in the country.

Somewhere in the middle of the practice, Areej came and started watching Zaroon from the benches.

Once they were done with practice, Areej went near them.

"Hello Zaroon, where have you been? "Areej said pouting a little. Zaroon hated it when girls tried to act cute Infront of him. He could see through it. The heavy makeup on Areej's face wasn’t even helping her in her act.

A raised eyebrow from Zaroon was enough to make Areej remember her limit. She was no one to question him. They weren’t friends. She went beetroot red in second due to embarrassment.

"I have told you; he was gone due to some family affair. "Hassan said trying to lessen the bitterness of the situation.

"Hmm, was it the wedding of your cousin?” Areej said touching Zaroon’s arm and his patience ended.

"Let’s go. "Zaroon said moving away. The anger in his eyes was clear. He hated how she touched him so casually and secondly, he couldn’t bear her interfering in his life.

The problem of their city was that the elites were close knitted, same parties, same places to have fun, same functions. Everyone knew each other, and shah family had always been in limelight.

Getting information about them wasn’t a big deal, though Zaroon preferred to keep his affairs private, but when it came to family things, nothing stayed hidden for long.

Zaroon went towards his car, Hassan took the passenger seat.

"You could have been a bit less rude to her. "Hassan said and Zaroon gave him a cold look.

"I hate her behaviour; can’t she stay in her limits? I hate all the attention.” Zaroon said angrily.

"Really!? I would have loved if the girls have been this crazy about me. "he said teasingly. He had a fair share of girl's attention, but he was more like a white prince.

The aloofness, the roughness about Zaroon attracted every other girl.

"Don’t be so hard on all the innocent girls, I don’t think you will like it, if even a single girl will start ignoring you. "Hassan said smiling.

"I don’t care about all these girls. And about the scenario you are sketching, I don’t think it’s ever going to happen. "Zaroon said the last part rolling his eyes.

"As you say. "Hassan said with a grin.
