Disguise

Zoa pushed Asher toward the washroom. "Go and take a shower. I've bought food for us.", Zoa told him.

"Did you go out without telling me?", Asher asked furiously.

"I don't need your permission.", Zoa replied loudly.

"Fine, you don't need to ask me. But at least, consider me as your friend. Bye, I'll be back.", Asher kissed on Zoa's cheek and left.

Zoa was left alone dumbfounded. She gently touched her cheek and she realized that she was blushing.

"Am I losing my mind?", Zoa thought.

Zoa took the food out of the bags and placed it on the kitchen's shelf. She wanted to decorate the food but it ended up looking like wasted food.

"What's this?", Asher came from behind and asked Zoa.

"I was trying to make food look delicious but it went wrong.", Zoa replied with disappointment.

"Let me help you.", Asher helped Zoa and the food ended up looking more delicious.

"You are a savage!", Zoa complimented him.

"Then give me a kiss.", Asher pouted his lips.

"Shut up!", Zoa clasped Asher's lips and shut his mouth. Zoa dragged Asher with his lips and ordered, "Let's eat!"

"It's yummy!", Asher complimented.

"I know.", Zoa responded.

"Why are you giving me a treat?", Asher asked while eating.

"We are leaving today. Here are the tickets.", Zoa placed the tickets on the table after they finished eating.

"I see. You bought two tickets.", Asher smiled and washed the dishes.

"Yes, we have to leave at 10. You have ninety minutes. Get ready.", Zoa announced.

"I've to visit the camp before leaving. I need to pick my stuff from there.", Asher told her.

"Ok"

Zoa helped Asher cleaning the house. She packed the garbage and dig it.

It took half an hour to clean and leave the house.

"Now, we are ready to go.", Asher said.

Zoa had wore a white cap on her head and covered her face with a white mask and black sunglasses.

"You are looking suspicious. I don't want to walk around you. When you are looking like this.", Asher complained as they had left the forest and were walking on the road.

"If you don't want to go with me. Then we can go on a separate way.", Zoa declared.

Asher took her to a guest house. They had tried to ask for a lift but the appearance of Zoa had forbidden anyone from stopping near to them. The other reason was the remoteness of the area.

Asher had tried to unlock the door but he had lost his keys.

"What's wrong?", Zoa asked.

"I'll go and grab the spare keys from the caretaker. Wait for me.", Asher left her in search of the caretaker.

It was daytime. The sunlight directly fell on broad shoulders of Asher's back. He looked behind and smiled at her before leaving. Zoa felt that scene similar.

"Is this a déjà vu?", Zoa asked to herself.

"Am I remembering my past?", Zoa thought.

Zoa was lost in her thoughts when Asher grabbed her shoulder.

"I've unlocked the door. We are good to go now."

Zoa entered in the room. Asher grabbed some clothes and gave them to Zoa.

"Changing is that way.", Asher pointed toward the right side.

"Why?", Zoa asked.

"Think of it as a guise. Please remove that cap and mask. Trust me. It'll be a best disguise.", Asher assured her.

Asher pushed her toward the washroom and locked it. "I can join you. If you want.", Asher shouted after closing the door.

Zoa looked at herself in the mirror. She was looking like a patient in the mask and the glasses.

"He is right.", Zoa removed the cap, mask and sunglasses.

Zoa changed into Asher's clothes. She tried to made a bun but her hair strands were coming out.

Zoa searched the drawers there. She found a scissors. Zoa was going to cut her strands which were disturbing her.

"What are you doing?", Asher grabbed her hand and took the scissors from her.

"Are you keeping an eye on me?", Zoa asked while blowing her hair strands from her face with her mouth.

"I wanted to check on you because you were taking long. Now, I want to know your reasons.", Asher glared at her.

"I was trying to tie my hairs. But I suck at this.", Zoa avoided Asher's eyes.

"Let me help you.", Asher grabbed the comb and gently comb Zoa's hair.

Zoa felt relaxed. A sensation was running in her body. Zoa recalled that someone was caressing and tying her hairs. Nobody had ever done that to her.

Zoa had a few attendants in her house. But all of them were females. Zoa had saw a male hands caressing her hair and gently embracing her.

"It's done."

Zoa opened her eyes. Asher had made a perfect hair bun.

"You have did a good job. You are good in everything. You know how to cook and you even know how to tie the hair.", Zoa complimented to Asher.

"I'm glad. You have noticed.", Asher smirked.

Zoa wore the cap and took a last look of herself in the mirror. She smiled at her reflection. Zoa had liked that look.

Asher had packed his stuff. He was wearing a bag. Zoa was also wearing the hitman's bag.

"Can you leave like this?", Zoa asked to Asher.

"Leaving like this?"

"You had came here for a camp. Can you leave like this without informing anyone?"

"I had came here as my friend's substitute. I had not registered myself there as well. So, everything is alright. But how did you know I've not contact anyone. Are you keeping an eye on me?"

Zoa rolled her eyes at that question and responded, "Your phone is broken. It is not working. You have not stop at any phone booth as well."

"It was better if you had agreed with me.", Asher showed his inner motive.

"Asher, when had we met for the first time?", Zoa asked.

"We..", Asher was going to reply but looking at Zoa's curious eyes. He smirked and didn't speak a word..

"What?", Zoa asked.

"Why don't you try it remember it by yourself?", Asher came close to her ears and whispered to her.

Zoa glared at him and moved a few steps away from him.

"Why did you ask this question? Why are you interested in our past?", Asher asked.

"I saw an illusion. The two hands were caressing and tying my hairs. The hands were manly. I thought you may know that person.", Zoa told him the truth.

"I wanted to think that you were finally taking interest in me. But that's not the case. Who do you think that person can be?"

"My late father?"

Asher nodded his head and agreed with her. The bus arrvied and they left that place.
