Chapter 36.

Zayn's POV.

"Doctor!", I heard Harry from behind me.

There was no limit to how happy I was seeing Zara awake.

Seeing her wide awake, and feeling her touch once again, I felt an extreme sense of relief rush through my veins.

It has been almost six hours, and the moment she opened up her eyes, I felt it had been years since I actually saw her looking at me.

It felt like it had been ages since she held my hand tightly.

All that I could do, was savour all these moments.

These moments that actually make me realise how much I love this girl. And how hard I'm falling for her, each and every day.

I had never ever imagined I would ever be so damn lucky. I had never thought of falling in love with someone to this extent, that the moment something bad happens to them , you wish it was you who could bear all that pain. You wish it was you who could suffer in place of them, You wish all their sorrows could be yours, and all your smiles could be theirs.You wish they could be the happiest person in the world.

And that's because they're really precious to you.

They're more precious to you than your own life.

That's what I felt for Zara, and these feelings would never ever change, I know that.

"Za..Zayn..", Zara's soft but groggy voice reached my ears, and I couldn't feel more delighted.

Listening to her voice left me with absolutely no worries. They all shed out of me. And all that was left was happiness.

"Hey..", I almost whispered to her, kissing her forehead, and sitting down next to her.

Zara gave me a slight smile, and that's when I felt how much I missed it.

"I'm so happy you're awake Zara. I'm so damn happy.", my eyes started welling up with the extreme sense of joy I was feeling inside me.

Zara didn't say anything. She kept staring at me, with her lips slightly pulled up.

I lifted her hand to a higher level, and planted a peck on her palm.

She blinked a few times, and once again, she closed her eyes.

"Zara?", I whispered, feeling worried once again.

No response.

"Mr. Malik? Please get aside, we need to check her.", the doctor said from above me, placing a hand on my shoulder.

"Yeah sure. She just woke up right now. She even called out my name! But she's once again asleep.", I told the doctor, never taking my eyes off Zara.

"Okay we'll check her. But you don't need to worry now, She's gonna be fine.", the doctor calmly told me, flashing me a smile.

I nodded to him, and Harry pulled me out of the room.

"She's gonna be absolutely fine! Come on give me that smile you gave Zara a few seconds ago? I deserve it too right?", Harry grinned.

"Yeah.", I flashed him a smile and shut the door behind me.

"She woke up!", Harry squealed, and everyone's faces lit up.

"Thank God!", Sasha chirped and walked up to me giving me a warm hug.

I hugged her back and she quickly pulled away.

"I knew she would wake up soon. Specially after you went inside to her.", Liam winked.

"What do you mean?", I asked, confused.

"Obviously! She needed you more than anything. And look what happened!", Liam grinned.

I chuckled and walked up to the bench, where two trays were kept.

"Come on guys lets eat up!", I called out to everyone, and within a second, everyone's hands went down to the tray carrying sandwitches, and then to the one with the cappuccino.

I quickly picked up mine, and sat on the bench, next to the trays.

Bringing the sandwitch to my mouth, I took a small bite, and relaxed onto the bench.

I was way too relieved, happy, delighted and full of glee at this time.

Seeing Zara wake up, and even almost talk to me, I felt my entire world just got back to me.

Everything is making sense now. And everything seems to be pleasant, even this disgusting coffee.

"I want some more sandwitches!", Niall cried like a baby standing near the bench.

"Of course you do! Bhukkad!", I giggled.

"Bhukkad?", everyone asked in unison.

Seeing everyone's confused faces, and how funny the word sounded in their accents, I let out a laugh.

"That's a word in hindi for a person who is always hungry, and eats a lot. Just what Niall is! Bhukkad!", I pointed to him.

"Oh!", Niall giggled. "So I'm bhukkad! That's so funny dude!", Niall cracked up.

All of us laughed and quickly finished up the coffee and the sandwitches.

"Guys! You can go back to the college now. It's all fine out here. I'll manage.", I told them.

"Stop saying that again and again dude!", Louis faked being angry.

"We're not going anywhere, so don't try it.", Liam glared at me.

I let out a chuckle and threw my arms to the front, surrendering.

"Fine fine!"

"Anyone else needs more sandwitches? I'm going to grab some for myself." Niall asked.

Everyone shaked their heads in a no, and Niall turned to go to canteen.

Where does all of this food go? I still wonder.

After a few minutes, the doctor came out of the I.C.U, seeming visibly relaxed.

I quickly stood up, and walked up to him.

"She's stable now. You don't need to worry. And she's just asleep right now because of the weakness. Otherwise it's all fine.", the doctor flashed a smile.

"Thank you so much Mr.-", I trailed off.

"Mr. Smith.", he told me.

"Thank you so much Mr. Smith. You guys are saviours trust me.", I grinned.

"That's our duty Mr. Malik.", he smiled.

"How much time will she remain here?", Sasha asked from my side.

"I guess she needs a lot of rest, and special medication that can only be provided in a hospital right now. So a week I guess?", the doctor said.

"A week?", I was surprised.

One week is a really long time.

"Yes. That's the minimum amount of time for a patient who has had such a severe accident."

"Okay. Thank you once again Mr. Smith.", I smiled at him.

He nodded at me, and walked past us.

..

"Zayn! I informed Zara's parents, they're coming here tomorrow morning.",Sasha told me.

"Okay.", I smiled at her.

Time to meet my in-laws!

"Well where is everyone going to sit tonight? This bench has space for just three people.", I asked everyone.

"There's a bench over there too.", Niall pointed to a bench near the reception area.

"Cool. So me, Liam and Louis will stay here. And Harry, Sasha and Niall can take that one. Okay?"

"Sounds cool.", Harry smiled at me.

Wait.

Harry and Sasha.

I looked back and forth between Harry and Sasha, and my eyes widened at surprise.

They were actually smiling at each other. And not just a normal one, that kind of smile!

I shaked my head as my mind got clouded with questions.

I'll talk to them later.

My mind went back to Zara, and a smile went up my cheeks.

Thank God you woke up Zara.

You actually scared the shit out of me.

Liam and Louis came to sit beside me, and I relaxed onto the bench, closing my eyes.

I felt sleep slowly crawling into me, and within a few minutes everything faded out.
