Chapter 5 - chapter 6 The Unseen Attraction: The Face-Off**

Ye raha is scene ka behtareen aur asardaar translatio

Zooni's heart hammered against her ribs, a wild, trapped bird seeking escape. With trembling fingers, she abruptly ended the call and held the power button until the screen flickered to black. **Switch Off.**

The sudden silence of the room felt suffocating. Abraham's deep, velvety voice—and those words—*"I kissed your lips"*—echoed in her mind like a lightning strike.

She buried her face in her palms, her cheeks burning like embers. She had never imagined that someone's words alone could ignite such a fire within her soul. Her **attachment issues** pulled her toward him like a magnet, while her fear urged her to run in the opposite direction.

*"What is happening to me? Why can't I stop myself?"* she whispered to the darkness.

Sleep was a distant memory. She tossed and turned, burying her face in the pillow, but Abraham's image was everywhere. That towering six-foot frame, the software engineer who had somehow hacked into the very programming of her soul.

**3:00 AM:**

The shadows in the room grew deeper. Zooni stared at the ceiling, her breath hitching as she felt a strange phantom tingling on her lips—as if Abraham had truly touched them.

*"Is he really that bold? Will he actually come that close?"* Her body was exhausted, but her mind was a battlefield. Her eyes kept drifting to her phone. She craved to turn it on, to see if he had sent anything else, but her courage failed her.

Zooni—the smart business graduate, the woman who knew how to handle the world—was utterly lost in the web woven by a stranger's words.

### **The Morning of the Exhibition**

As the first light of dawn filtered through the window, Zooni's eyes were heavy and slightly swollen from the lack of rest. With shaking hands, she turned her phone on.

A flood of notifications instantly lit up the screen. She opened Snapchat with a racing heart.

**Abraham:** (3:30 AM) *"Turning off your phone won't stop my thoughts from reaching you, Zooni. I know you're awake. I know your breath still carries the heat of my words. Today is going to be difficult for you... because today, we finally meet."*

Her heart skipped a beat. Today was the **Exhibition**. The day the "Unseen Attraction" would finally have a face.

### **The Encounter at City Mall**

The Grand Hall was a sea of lights, music, and buzzing crowds. Zooni had decorated her stall, **"Zooni's Cocoa Bliss,"** with exquisite detail. She wore an **Emerald Green** suit that perfectly complemented her fair complexion and her graceful 5'8" height.

Despite the crowd, her mind was elsewhere. Her hands fumbled with the packaging as she constantly glanced toward the entrance.

*"Will he really show up? Will I even recognize him?"*

Suddenly, the atmosphere around her seemed to shift. The crowd near her stall parted, and a long, imposing shadow fell across her counter. Zooni held her breath and slowly looked up.

Standing before her was a man, easily **6 feet tall**, with a striking presence. He wore a crisp black dress shirt with the sleeves folded back, and expensive sunglasses perched on his nose. A devastating, eternal smirk played on his lips—the same one she had heard in his voice.

**Abraham:** (In a low, masculine rumble) *"I told you, Zooni... I would find you by your scent. Though right now, the scent of your nervousness is even sweeter than your chocolate."*

Startled, a box of chocolates began to slip from Zooni's hand. Before it could fall, Abraham reached out, his large hand firmly catching the box—and Zooni's hand along with it. The searing heat of his touch sent a jolt of electricity through her entire being.

**Abraham:** *"So much trembling? You seemed much bolder on the phone last night. Why are you avoiding my eyes now?"*

Zooni couldn't pull her hand away, even if she wanted to. People were passing by, but the world had shrunk down to those deep, piercing eyes that seemed to read her every secret.

**Zooni:** (Her voice barely a whisper) *"You... you are Abraham?"*

**Abraham:** (Leaning in closer, his voice dropping to that dangerous tone from the night before) *"The one and only... your 'Badtameez' Software Engineer. Now tell me, where is my free chocolate? Or should I just claim my 'Date' as the prize right now?"*
