âI know just the place,â Zayn said as he pulled us up from the couch we were sitting in. I didnât even want to go anywhere at all, but i guess Zayn just wanted to get my mind of off things and stop the crying for a while. All I really wanted was to curl up in a ball, and just bawl my eyes out.
Zayn was here when i got the bad news, and he immediately wanted me to feel better. He gave me space to grieve my dad in, of course, but he also wouldnât allow me to break down completely. Which Iâm sure I would be grateful for later.
My dad had been killed in war. He was an outstationed soldier, and i hadnât seen him for three months, and now I never would. He wouldnât be there to see me at my wedding, he wouldnât be there to see his first grandchild, he wouldnât be there to see anything ever again.
We were walking down the street his arm slung over my shoulders, pulling me to him. âIâm sure you know where Iâm taking you, Kana.â He said smiling down at me, while looking into my  Brown eyes. âYouâre taking me to the playground, arenât you?â I asked, my lips curving upwards at the thought.He just smiled down at me and kissed the top of my curly brown hair. As weird as it sounds, the playground was where we had met each other for the first time. It was there, at the swing set, he had asked me out on our first date. Â
I sat down on one of the swings when we got there and Zayn started pushing me. it felt good to laugh a little and get your mind of off the things, but i could feel peopleâs eyes on us almost all of the time. It was mostly teenage girls, who had their envious eyes fixated on us. It didnât really bother me, not even when a girl would man herself up, and go ask for an autograph or a picture. It is his job after all.
We continued playing around on the swings, and it wasnât long before we heard some high pitched screaming, and before we knew it a group of girls had surrounded us. âKeep holding onto me.â Zayn whispered into my ear, and tightened his grip on my hand. In the end as the girls shoved him and i, and more girls showed up, we were separated. Zayn looked over the crowd and out into my eyes, and mouthed an âIâm so sorry,â before trying to get a picture with all the girls.
I just walked alone through the park. I know I canât expect him to be only mine all the time, but it would have been nice if we could have spend a few hours without being interrupted. I walked alone for an hour, just thinking. Thinking about my dad, and thinking about zayn.
I found a bench and decided to sit for a while, when i got a text from Zayn asking where I was.
I quickly answered and decided to people watch. A man was out with his daughter. They were eating ice cream and they both looked so happy. I remember when that was me. Having that special glint in my eyes that only a child can have, and having my dad around everyday.
Suddenly someone covered my eyes with their hands, and leaned their head next to me. âGuess who,â the person said, and i let out a giggle. Of course I already knew it was Zayn. I just knew. âIs it Channing? I knew you would come for me one day!â I said faking shock. He just laughed a little and  removed his hands. âYou know itâs me.â he said and kissed my cheek.
âI have something for you. I actually wanted to give it to you at a special time, but I just canât wait.â He took something from his pocket and looked at it behind me. âWhat is it?â I asked smiling at him. âClose your eyes.â was all he said, and i happily obliged. âYou know Kana, Iâm really sorry about what happened back there, I know you were disappointed, and probably a bit mad,â And of course i was, but really, it wasnât really anything to be mad over. Â It is his job after all. âand I want to make it up to you, so I got you this.â He said and i felt him hook something around my neck. âOpen your eyes.â He said, and when i did I was staring into his perfect orbs. I looked down at the necklace. It was simple, yet breathtakingly beautiful. I looked into his eyes and kissed him.
I could feel him smile into the kiss before he deepened it. It was the worst day of my life, and yet it was also the best day of my life.
And it was in that moment, that I realized I was madly, deeply and truly, in love with Zayn Malik.
