Chapter 2 The meeting

London

11.56 am

(Y/n POV)

We arrived at the airport of London. At last, I am in my dream place. I really did hardwork to come here and I've succeeded. A smile appeared in my lips.

We were waiting for Mrs. Malik's men to pick up us. Suddenly, I saw a middle aged decent woman was waving at us. I was confused. Then I saw my dad was also waving at her back. "Oh she must be Mrs. Malik". She came to us and welcomed us with a bouquet of flowers. "Welcome to our London, y/f/n. ", she greeted my father. My father smiled, "Thank you Zara. Meet my daughter y/n. " "Y/n, what a pretty name with a pretty face. "She said and hugged me. Her hug had the feeling of a motherly warmth. "Thank you Mrs. Malik. ", I said hugging her back. "You have such a pretty daughter, y/f/n. She looks like her mother. C'mon guys, lets go. You guys must be tired after this long journey. Let's go home and Take some rest and we can talk later. " "sure", my father said. "Come y/n ".

12.25 pm

Malik mansion

We arrived our destination -the malik mansion. The mansion was just like the palace of fairy tales that I used to read. A garden having colourful flowers in it, a fountain was also there in the middle of the garden. The house was so big. The decorations of its inside was just mesmerizing. With a pair of white sofa the drawing room was full of their memories. Mrs. Malik said that she liked to collect memories in the form of pictures. The house was so simple yet attractive.. Just the way I like it.

"Y/n, this is your room. Do you like it? ", asked Mrs. Malik with a nervous face.

The room... it was so adorable. Having a bed in the middle with white and pink bed sheet. There were two night stands also on both the sides of the bed. In one corner a white cupboard and next to it was a mirror. Beside the window, there was a study table with a book shelf on the top of it. And then there was a balcony from where I can see the sceneries of my dream place. I was left speechless. "Y/n, didn't you like it? It's okay I will give you another room. " she said. "Oh no, Mrs. Malik this room is so adorable that I can't understand how to express. " I said. "You like it! " she said with a relieved face. I smiled at her, "Thank you. " she didn't say anything just hugged me. "Well, now take rest and refresh yourself then come to dinning hall. We'll talk having some lunch. " "ok Mrs. Ma-" " And one more thing, call me aunty. " I smiled, "okay aunty. "

A few hours later

I went to the dinning hall. I was so hungry. I didn't eat well yesterday. I was so stressed about bothering The Maliks but now after meeting Mrs. Malik I felt relief. She has a

kind heart indeed.

"Oh y/n, come. We've been waiting for you. ", said Mrs. Malik. "Come have a seat. "

"Yes, aunty. The food looks delicious. " I said while having a seat beside my mother.

"Where're the other members of family? They won't have lunch with us? " I asked.

"Actually, we do dinner together. They are all busy in their works now " she said.

"Oh! Thank you for the food. " I said to her. She smiled.

"So y/f/n, for how many days you're going to stay in London? I will show you the whole London this time. Okay?! ", Mrs. Malik said.

"Oh no Zara. We are not going to stay for long. I have some things to do there. So we have to return as soon as possible. Just y/n's place get settled then we'll return. ", dad said.

"Y/n's place? ", Mrs. Malik asked with a confused look. "Oh yes, we have to fix a place for y/n to stay then we'll go ", mom said explaining to Mrs malik. "How can you think of y/n living in an unknown place when she has us here. She'll stay here. And beside Zayn is also going to that college so they both can go together and plus y/n won't feel alone. " Mrs. Malik said. "But Zara, don't you think it'll be.. ", my mom said. "No, y/m/n, she is going to stay here and the topic is closed now. Anyways, I have thrown a party for you guys. A welcome party. So now take rest and ready yourself for the party. " she said. "No aunty, the party -" I said but cut off by a voice "mom! Are you home? " we turned our head to the way where the voice came to meet the owner of the voice - a boy with a structured body, black hair and sharp eyebrows. His eyes -they are so deep. It seems like there are so many mysteries hidden there. I came back to reality when "y/n, this is my son Zayn and Zayn this is y/n", Mrs. Malik said. I didn't know for how long time I was staring at him. Gosh! I am embarrassed. "He-hello. " I managed to utter avoiding the any type of contacts with the pair of those seductive eyes. "Hi", he scoffed. "Zayn, don't you have recording? ", Mrs. Malik asked. "Umm yes mom, actually I forgot something so. I am here to collect that. "He said. "Oh! ", his mom said, "anyways, Zayn have you invite your friends to the party? " "yes mom! Now I'll go first. Bye. "

"Bye son!! Y/n? "

"Yes aunty. "

"Go and take rest. Katherine, I mean my daughter, will help you to be ready for the evening. "Mrs. Malik said.

7.34 pm

Mrs. Malik is a woman with a great taste. Her each work shows it. The decorations for the party are also done by her and it's breathtaking. Now I am in the balcony enjoying the night view of London.

"Y/n? Are you ready? " ask a voice. I turn and see a pretty girl with a smile plastered on her face.

"Katherine! Come. ", I invite her.

"I was wondering if you are ready or not. " she said

"Yes, I am. Just having some last minute touch up. ", I smile. "By the way, Katherine! Thank you for the dress. It's really pretty. "

"I am glad that you like it. I must say that I am amazed by watching how you carry this simple dress so beautifully. I have so many dresses with new heavy designs. But you choosed the simplest one! " said Kath.

"Uh actually, I prefer simple things. " I explained.

"You are looking pretty. " Kath said.

"And so do you. "

"Let's go, everyone is waiting for us. "

"Sure " I smiled and followed Kath.

(Zayn's POV)

"Hey Zayn!! What a party man! ", Harry said while giving me a tight hug. I was enjoying the party with my gang. Suddenly,

Someone gave me a back hug and kissed my cheeks.

"Babe, you are late. " I said after facing the gorgeous woman standing in front of me.

"Oh I am sorry babe. " she gave me another kiss on my lips. "You're looking handsome tonight. " "And Gi, what about me? I am more handsome than Zayn, right? ", asked our king of flirt - Mr. Liam Payne. Gi just rolled her eyes and said, " get a mirror for yourself, dude! " we all laughed by seeing Liam's expression hearing the comment. As we were having fun with each other, suddenly my eyes went to the stairs. "Gosh! She looks pretty. ", I thought. Y/n was coming down from the stairs. She was wearing a black long skirt with a white crop top. Her belly button was trying to play hide and seek on behind the top, but after many trials it was not easy to see her belly. And up there in her neck she had a simple necklace with a round blue pendent. She was looking too innocent for this environment with the messy bun .

"Babe! ", Gi called. "Yes Gi. " Nah! 'She isn't my type tough she is beautiful.', I thought.

"Hey Gi! Looking gorgeous tonight. ", said Kath. She had y/n beside her with a shy smile.

"Hey, Kath! Thanks and nice dress by the way. " Gi said.

"Oh Thank you. "

"And who's the pretty lady behind you Kath? ", asked Harry.

"Oh everyone, meet Y/n, she's from India and she's going to take admission in your college. "

"Oh hey Y/n, you are looking pretty. Anyways, I am Gi" Gi said stretching her hand for a shake, y/n smiled after accepting the shake, "hello Gi"

"Meet my girls y/n. This is Ariana "Gi said

"Hello y/n", smiled Ariana.

"This is Taylor and this is Jessica. "

"Hello y/n!! " they both said.

"Hello everyone " y/n greeted them.

(Y/n POV)

I was standing with Gi's girls and 1D. They are all having fun by teasing others, laughing, smiling. But I was feeling so uncomfortable there.

"Y/n, come have a drink with us. " Nial, one of 1D's band member proposed. "Oh no thank you. I don't drink. ", I said. "Don't be shy, here take this. ", Ariana said me pointing at a glass of wine. "No, I have to go there. I'll see you later. Bye. ", I said finding an excuse to avoid the situation.

I came to a corner of the hall. There wasn't many people. It was quiet place, actually. 'I don't know why but I am feeling afraid, feeling uncomfortable with this environment. This is so new and strange for me. But I can't show it to my dad. He'll be worried and I can't bother him anymore. ' All are having fun in the hall-Shouting, dancing. I sighed, "I guess I have to try harder to accept this society. "
