S: Alright guys.. Forget all that.. Tell me what did you bring for me..?

R: I didn't know we had to bring something for you..

S: What do you mean.. You went to UAE and your telling me you didn't bring anything for us..??

K: Ok enough.. Don't start arguing now.. Ofcourse we did.. Everything is in my bag..!

She picks up her suitcase keeping it on the table and opened it.. There were many shopping bags They took out one by one giving it to them.. There were shirts and watches for the boys.. She gave one to aliza that had a dress and shoes along with a few accessories.. Sofia sat patiently watching as all the shopping bags were given to three of her friends.. 

S: What about me.??

K: Oh my gosh.. Where are her's Ryan.??

R: How would I know.. You were the one who packed every thing..

K: I think We left it over there..

R: OH NOO.. poor sofi won't get anything.??

S: Are you both serious.. You know what.. Do what ever you want.. I'm not speaking to you guys..

K: Ok ok.. I'm sorry.. 

She picks up a small bag beside the sofa and handed it to her..

K: This is for you..

S: All this.??

K: Yeah..

S: Oh My God thank you..!!!

A: Ok now.. If the gifting ceremony is over.. I think you both should go and rest.. You came through a long flight.. You guys must be jet lagged.. Especially with all the preparations you had to do..

He says pointing at her appearance as they all laugh..

R: Yeah I am pretty tired..

K: I'm also exhausted..

S: It's pretty late.. I think we should all get to sleep..

They all agree as she stood up from her place along with the others following her hoping towards the stairs when she suddenly winced playfully..

S: Ouch..

She stumbles back as Ayaan rushes to her side followed by the others..

A: Sofia.??

He holds her arms stabling her as she hops on one foot.. He helps her to sit on the sofa nearby and kneels in front of her.. Nick runs to get the first aid kit as Kiara grabs a few tissues.. Ayaan slowly lifts her foot.. Taking the tissues from Kiara he slowly removes the piece of glass.. Taking the first aid kit from nick he carefully addressed her wound.. Aliza went to clean the glass as they all stood there staring at her worried...

A: What is wrong with you.?? Couldn't you be more careful..?? Sometimes you have to look before waking.. 

S: It's not like I did it intentionally..

A: Then be more careful.. Do you always need someone to be your body guard.??

S: I didn't ask you to.!!

A: Sofi-

Kiara keeps a hand on his shoulder whispering..

K: Relax.!

He takes a long breath calming himself down.. He was done with the bandage so he slowly kept her foot down...

A: I'm sorry.. Are you ok..?

S: Yeah...

She answered softly..

K: Alright everone.. c'mon let's go to our rooms..

She says eyeing Ryan as he gives a secretive nod.. Ryan drags Nick to his room and Kiara drags aliza to the other guest room saying she needs to change first.. And why she needed her for that was beyond her understanding.. Ayaan helped Sofia to stand as she let goes of his hand..

S: Thankyou..

A: It's ok..

S: I'll go to my room..

A: How..? Are you planning to play hopscotch all the way to your room..

S: It's not that hard..

She says walking cum hopping towards her room.. Ayaan quietly stares at her as she struggles hopping on one foot.. She was already huffing by the time she reached the stairs.. Ayaan chuckled walking up to her..

A: Tired of hopscotch already.??

S: It's not that easy after all..

She sits on the stairs tired as he looks around trying to cover his smile..

A: How about now.. Like any help..

She extends her right arm as he held her hand helping her stand up.. She holds the railing with the other hand.. She climbed a few steps as Ayaan pulled her hand making her stumble back as she lost her balance falling back.. She grabbed Ayaan's shoulder to stable herself as he held her by her waist.. She stared at him astonished as he had a small smile on his face.. He held her right arm with his left hand and leaned down placing his right hand under her knees all the while staring at her.. He lifted her top as she yelped grabbing onto his neck..

S: What are you doing.??

A: Giving you a lift.. Don't worry.. you  can repay me later..

He said smirking as she wondered what he'd mean.. He reached her room laying her on the bed adjusting the pillows behind her and placed one under her leg.. 

S: What do you mean by.. Repay.??

She asked leaning back on the head board.. He sat beside her placing a hand on the head board beside her head as she looked at him confused.. He leaned close to her ear..

A: You know.. A reward..

He said tapping his cheek as she scrunched her eyes pushing him away.. He laughed moving away as she blushed with embarrassment.. Looking at him laugh she too smiled a little..

A: Ok I was just kidding.. don't take it too seriously..!!

He said standing from the bed as he poured water passing it to her.. She took it with a smile drinking it..

S: Ayaan.. I.. I wanted to ask you something..

A: Go on..

S: About that case-

He placed his finger on her lips stopping her..

A: It's pretty late.. Go to sleep..

S: But-

A: I'm there to handle all that right.. you don't have to worry about it.. Just trust me..

She stared at him with a smile as he moved back helping her lay down properly and leaned down placing the extra pillows aside..
