I was lying in bed, just staring at the ceiling, when my phone suddenly rang. I closed my eyes for a moment and answered,

"Hello." The voice on the other end of the line asked,

"Hey, where are you? Didn't you come to college today?"

"I did come, but you were too busy with your match," I replied with a blank expression and rolled my eyes.

"Oh, yeah, sorry hehe. Well we win our captain is like a bomb well leave it . Btw I wanted to let you know that we're going to a party today. Be ready at 7 pm, and, you know, the party is at my club, okay?" the boy said.

"Hmm," I hummed in response and hung up the call. then I looked at the time and saw it was still 4 pm I still had time so I thought to take a nap,

I closed my eyes and relaxed my muscles...

                           Eshal

"I was on my way back home after buying groceries that my mom asked me to get. As I was walking, I noticed an injured cat by the side of the street. I quickly went over to the cat and gently picked it up. I saw the cat's leg was injured and it needed medical attention, so I looked around for a lift or a ride to take us to the animal doctor. Unfortunately, after waiting for some time, I couldn't find anything,  Determined to help the cat, I decided to cross the road on the other side. Suddenly, a car approached,  I gasped and closed my eyes, preparing for a possible accident. However, to my surprise, I didn't feel anything."

I opened my eyes and saw that the car stopped just inches away from me. I felt angry and decided to approach the driver of the car.

"Hello, sir, please come out," I said with frustration. A tall and handsome man wearing a full suit and sunglasses stepped out of his luxurious car. He took off his sunglasses and replied,

"Yes, miss?" I continued, "Can't you drive more slowly? What if I had been hit by your careless driving?" I expressed my concern, and the man leaned closer to my face...

"I think you must be blind, because if you had eyes, you'd know this is a road and I can drive as I please. It's my wish, and you should be mindful of your surroundings while walking."he said

"I pressed my lips together, acknowledging he was right; I should be more aware of my surroundings. He glanced at my arm and exclaimed, 'Ah, I see why you were in such a hurry! You're trying to tend to this cat, aren't you?' I followed his gaze and looked down at the cat, who was peacefully resting on my arm, watching us both with innocent eyes."

I nodded, and he put his sunglasses back on. "By the way, can I ask you something?" he said. I nodded in response while gently patting the cat. "Why are you wearing that box over your head?" he asked. I stopped what I was doing and looked at him, his gaze piercing through his glasses. "Um, because I like it," I replied. I didn't know what else to say. I wasn't wearing my niqab, so I decided to wear this box that I made. I couldn't show him my face, which I considered unattractive and ugly.

"Alright, forget about it. Let's go and get this cat treated," he said, opening the car door for me. I hesitated for a moment but eventually got in and sat down. He took his place in the driver's seat and started driving towards the animal hospital.

After a while, we reached the animal hospital. I walked in, and he followed closely behind me. The doctor took the kitten and began treating it. As I stood there, I heard him whisper, "Can you please take off that box so I can see your beautiful face?"

I turned around and noticed him smirking, which made me take a step back. "No," I said firmly. He backed away, still grinning and nodding.

Suddenly, I felt something touching my feet, causing me to jump and let out a small scream. In the process, my box fell off my head. As I looked down, I saw a little puppy sitting beside my feet, wagging its tail. I let out a sigh and looked up, only to find him staring at me with a shocked expression. I felt confused by his reaction.

"Hey, mister, are you okay?" I asked, snapping him out of his thoughts.

"Y...your face," he stammered, clearly taken aback. I instinctively touched my face and realized that my box was nowhere to be found. Panic rushed through me, and I quickly glanced at my box on the floor. I hurriedly picked it up, avoiding eye contact with him.

Miss, don't worry. He's alright. It's just a minor injury, but we'll take good care of this kitten. We have pet care services available at our hospital," the doctor reassured me. I nodded in understanding and then proceeded to pay the bill before leaving the hospital.

As I stepped outside, I noticed that the man was still following me silently, without saying a word.

"Hey, wait!" I heard him say. I stopped and looked at him, and he just stared back at me.

"Do you want me to give you a ride home?" he suddenly asked out of nowhere. I shook my head and started to walk away, but he remained standing there, watching me from behind. I stopped and turned towards him.

"Thanks... um, Hamza," I paused for a moment as he had just mentioned his name. I nodded in acknowledgment.

"Thanks, Mr. Hamza," I said, and we went our separate ways.....
