Everyone was looking at Ayzal as she walked downstairs. Ayzal walked towards the dinning table where everyone was sitting except maaz, Ayzal's father Mr Zayn spoke to her in a firm, and angry tone "where do you think you are going" Ayzal joined her eyebrows in confusion because everyone knows it's her office timings, she spoke in a low yet respectful voice "obviously office, I'm already late " Mr Zayn shook his head and spoke "you are not going anywhere after whatever happened yesterday, absolutely not" Ayzal got stunned at his words because they were talking about her job right now, she can't just drop it, she looked at her mother with pleading eyes to support her, aima looked at Zayn and spoke "honey y-" Zayn cut her words and spoke "stay away from it aima, I know what I'm doing" Mr Azaan who was sitting beside his brother, he put his hand firmly on Zayn's shoulder and spoke in a low voice so only they can hear "you don't know what you are doing, let me handle it" Zayn reluctantly nodded because he trust his brother's decision, Azaan looked at Ayzal with soft expressions and spoke "you can go to your office, sweetie and came back home on time" she nodded and again looked back at Zayn, then spoke in a hesitant voice " dad my car keys " Zayn looked at his brother and spoke "I'm not taking this risk again, no matter what you said" Azaan nodded knowing Zayn has already made his mind, he looked at Ayzal and spoke "hey, don't worry sweetheart, maaz will drop you, he is also ready in his room, go and wait him outside" he signalled Ayzal to leave before Zayn stops her again, Ayzal nodded and walked out of the house while taking big steps, she walked out of the house and walked towards maaz car, and spoke to herself "what should I do now, I don't want maaz favour but I guess I have no choice" an idea popped in her mind and she texted to her office colleague which was her close friend too, and asked if she is already in office, she waited for her texted. Her friend texted back that she is already in the office. Ayzal sighed and leaned back on the boot of the car while tapping her phone on her palm knowing her friend can't pick her up and she needs maaz help.
Meanwhile, as Ayzal walked out Zayn looked at Azaan and spoke "how can you let her do whatever she wants, did you forget everything that happened yesterday" Azaan looked at his brother with calmed expressions and spoke "you really think you can put curfew and she'll obey? You are wrong here, what she did is so disappointing I know but if you act harsh with her, she is gonna act more recklessly, and she is young blood that can do anything even in front of our eyes" Zayn reluctantly nodded and moved his attention back to his food, then maaz came out of the room and Azaan told him to drop Ayzal at her office, he immediately nodded and walked out of the house and saw Ayzal was standing while leaning back on the boot of the car, he walked towards her with a smile, he was feeling at the ninth cloud because she can't push him away right now.
Ayzal saw maaz walked towards her while wearing a sleek black suit layered over a double-breasted waistcoat, black turtleneck replaced the usual shirt, adding a modern, confident edge. A crisp white pocket square stood out against the darkness. She didn't realise and kept staring at his elegant yet a bit dominating figure silently, maaz stood in front of her and saw she was continuously staring at him, he smirked and snapped his fingers in front of her. Ayzal came back into the reality and saw he was standing right in front of her, his wide shoulders and big body was completely blocking the sun rays to reach towards her, he was practically towering over her, and he took a small step near her and leaned towards her ear and whispered "morning, buttercup. Ayzal saw as he closed the distance, she didn't think and slapped his face so hardly, maaz got stunned for a few seconds, he took a step back and let out an unexpected chuckle" Ayzal looked at her with piercing gaze as he chuckled and spoke in a low angry voice "don't you dare to get close to me, or the consequences can be more worse, mark my words" maaz kept adoring her angry face as she warned while tucking his hands in his pockets, Ayzal walked towards the passenger seat and slammed her hand on the door, maaz rolled his eyes and unlocked the car and spoke while walking towards the driving seat "feisty as always".
They both get into the car and maaz wore seatbelt and saw Ayzal was looking out of the window without wearing seatbelt and spoke in a teasing tone "hey buttercup want me to get close again" Ayzal looked back at him and shot a glare and spoke "well if you want me tochange the design of your face then yeah sure" maaz let out a soft laugh and pulled his hands up in mocking surrender and spoke "hey! Hey! No need to be violent I was just messing, I just wanna ask you to wear seatbelt that's it I'm saving your life, aren't I?" Ayzal rolled her eyes and wore the seatbelt and spoke "well, it's not a favour to me" she again looked out, maaz chuckled at her feisty attitude, and he adores and loves it too, he started the engine and started driving.
After a while, maaz spoke "give me the direction of your office buttercup" Ayzal looked at him and spoke "let me guide you" maaz shook his head and spoke "put my number in your phone and send me the location, intelligent right?" Ayzal looked at him silently, as he was driving, he took out his phone and handed her "c'mon, put my number in your phone it's a great opportunity, you know many girls die for it? C'mon hurry up before I take you to my office with me" Ayzal took his phone and spoke while giving him his phone back "enter your phone password" he looked at her and back at the road and spoke "your birth date buttercup" she stayed silent, and put her birth date as his phone password and it unlocked, her gaze again moved towards his face, while he was busy in driving, she took his number and sends him the location and put his phone above the dashboard silently, she was still thinking about, his password in his phone. Maaz took the phone and opened the location and drive towards her office. Ayzal kept sitting silently kept thinking about a lot of things at once and spoke in a low serious tone, but there was a hint of something else too maybe vulnerability "can I ask you.. something" maaz looked here and there dramatically and put his hand on his chest while saying "to me? Oh of course it would be an honour to me" Ayzal sighed at his dramatic nature and spoke "you were used to call me bubbles, right? Maaz nodded and looked at her reflection from the wing mirror and spoke "yeah, so?" Ayzal kept looking at him and spoke "then, since when it turned into buttercup?" Maaz looked at her with smile and spoke "since you started acting like a buttercup instead of the bubbles I used to know, but you know what I also love this side of yours too" maaz words caught ayzal's breath in her throat tightly, she has no words to speak further and she realises that he seriously have some feelings towards her that she doesn't want or just doesn't wants to accept.
"Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear—just like our past, always trailing closer than we think."
