A Bittersweet Journey [✔]

"Isn't… isn't he… Mr. Zafar's… driver?"

"Are you sure? Is it this guy?"
Ravi said from the call.

"Um… I am not sure. I saw his face just one time. But it seems like it's him."

"I'm going in the parking lot to find him."
Ayyan said.

"Wait. We are not sure if it is him or not. If he's really the tattoo guy then we need to be cautious. One wrong move can make us lose him again."

"Then what should we do? I can't sit quietly knowing that the bastard is in the house."
Ayyan said furiously.

"Ayyan! Don't do anything in anger. I'm coming within 15 minutes. Till then stay calm."

"But Ravi, I don't think we have that much time left. Mr. Zafar is about to go out. I heard it from mom."
Reeha informed.

"Then… do one thing. By any means stop Zafar till I reach there. Ok?"

"Ok."

"And listen. Don't disclose it to anyone. Not even your family. Am I clear?"

"Ok. We won't. Come quickly."
Ayyan said and then cutting the call went downstairs with Reeha to stop Zafar.

Going downstairs, they spotted Zafar, who was just about to go out.

"Zafar!"

Zafar looked at Ayyan.

"Going somewhere?"

"Hey! Yea. To the orphanage. How's your health?"

"Better than before."

"Good. Then see you later."

"WAIT."
Ayyan almost shouted, making Zafar startled.

"I mean… Have your breakfast before going out."
Composing himself Ayyan said.

"It's ok. I'll eat something from outside. I'm already getting late."

Zafar was about to leave when he was stopped again. But this time by Reeha.

"Mr. Zafar! Umm… I have invented a new recipe. Wanna try it out?"
Reeha said nervously.

"Yea, dude. Try it out. It's really delicious."
Ayyan added with a nervous smile.

"Are you guys ok? I mean both of you are acting weirdly."
With a confused glance, Zafar said.

"Of course. We're ok. I just wanted to chat with you. You see, we haven't spent time in a while."

"Ok… Let's talk after I come back."

"But I want to talk now. It's… it's about Ayana. It will take a few minutes."

"Ok."
After thinking for a few seconds, Zafar agreed.

"Reeha go and start to prepare our breakfast."
Ayyan said with a knowing look. Nodding Reeha went into the kitchen whereas Ayyan and Zafar sat on the table.

"So what did you wanna talk about?"
Zafar asked, looking at his watch. Seems like he was in a hurry.

"I am not seeing any improvement in Ayana's condition. You are a doctor so why are you not doing anything."

"Ayyan, I know how you are feeling. Even I'm helpless. We can't do anything except praying for her recovery."
Zafar said helplessly.
