Pakistan,

Lahore

Kiran POV.

Mom and Dad were not at home they both went to Mamu's place. I don't feel like going so I stayed at home with Fawad, his exams were going to start and I had to teach him.

After giving him work I went to my room and adjusted myself on my bed. I was mentally tired, even I didn't have much work in college today but still I don't know what exactly was going on in my life. I don't want to think about him but still I was thinking.

Meri taraf se dafa hoye jaha marzi, Allah kre darwazey me ungali ajaye uski phir maza ayega mujhe...

"Ughhhhhhhhh" I was on the verge of crying. I want some fresh air so I moved outside my room.

Rangeen hai tu rango'n se bhi ziyada
Shokh lagti ho reh ke bhi saada
Le jayenge tujh ko utha ke
Tere bina laage na mora jiya

Rangeen hai tu rango'n se bhi ziyada
Shokh lagti ho reh ke bhi saada
Le jayenge tujh ko utha ke
Tere bina laage na mora jiya

Rangeen hai tu rango'n se bhi ziada
Shokh lagti ho rah ke bhi saada
Hansti hai to aankhon se masti hai chalakhti-

"Hain??" I was passing by Fawad's room and My eardrums were almost ruptured.

This song was playing on Loudspeakers. Anger built in me. The door was partially closed. I knocked at the door with a thud and entered in his room. The room was no more a room. It was looking worse than zoo. He was jumping on the bed holding his guitar. When he looked at me, he halted in his place as if he had seen the angel of death. I turned off his computer and unplugged those loudspeakers.

"Ye kiya toofan-e-badtameezi aya hua hai yaha? Ye papers ki tyari horae hai hena?" I asked him angrily.

"Aap to soney gyin thi?" He replied. My arrival was unexpected.

"Mein tumhe batau? Mein kaha gayi thi?" I shot him glares. He put back his guitar to the table.

"Chup kr k parhayi karo jo test mene tumhara kal lena tha wo aaj lon gi." I dropped a bomb on him and he got shocked. Before he could say anything I left his room giving him last warning.

The weather was pleasant today. I sat on the cold grass of the lawn. I smiled looking at the flowers. I love flowers so much. Cold breeze was hitting my face. I could see the black clouds in the sky.

Aaj barish hogi shayad...

I smiled and looked at the flowers. This uneasiness was killing me. I took the scissors and start pruning the dried leaves of the rose plant.
Suddenly a thorn pricked in my hand.

"Ouch," I groaned, and suddenly tear start coming out of my eyes. I took that Thorn out of my skin. I could see a bright red blood drop. I never cried on minor things. But now, I was unable to understand what was going on with me. I placed my head on my knees and start thinking about all the things that were happening these passed days. I was avoiding Asad and even don't want to think about him but today I couldn't stop myself from thinking about him. I brushed away my thoughts.

Abbiya or Arzu chaley gaye hn isiliye mein udaas or bechain horae hn....Yehi wajah ha Or kuch bhi nahi...

My mood was off. I stood up and went back to my room.

Brazil,

São Paulo,

Abbiya POV.

I woke up in the middle of the night because of thirst, probably. I turned the side lamp on and looked at the other side of my bed and Aqib was not there. I took my phone to check what time was it. Then suddenly Aqib came out of the bathroom.

"Aap kahin jarahe hn?" I asked I was still sleepy but he was fresh.

"Han Masjid jaraha hn Fajar parhne or phir jogging pe jau ga Aap please jagti matt rahiye ga so jaye ga mein Ajau ga jald hi" He said and I nodded. I put off the blanket and tied my hair in a bun and start filling the glass of water.

"Ap kal Namaz timing schedule ka poch rahi thin. Wo apki side table pe rakha hua ha. Or waha pe ha Qibla." He pointed towards the Qibla direction with a smile. Actually, he was looking cute in Tracksuit. I nodded and passed a smile.

"Allah Hafiz." He said taking his belongings.

"Allah Hafiz" I replied I was so sleepy. I went towards the large Glass Door and removed the curtains. There was no sign of rain but the weather was pleasant. I offered Ablution. I was still tired and sleepy. I spread the Prayer mat beside the bed on the floor. After offering Fajar I made dua and I placed my head on the bed and don't know when I dozed off.

Aqib POV.

After praying Fajar I dropped Dad at home and I drove towards the park where Me and Asad used to walk in the morning. I miss Asad and his company so much. I have to walk alone until he comes back. I walk around the park. I have a lot of memories associated with this park. Asad and I have been here since childhood.

My phone rang broking the chains of my thoughts.

"Asalam o Alaikum! Good Morning Welcome back sir!" Mr. Aliyaan my secretary chirped on the other side of the phone. I plugged my hands-free and start Jogging on the track.

"Wa alikum Asalam, Mr. Aliyan Thank you. How are you?" I said and smiled. Mr. Aliyaan Habib, my Secretary, is Egyptian Muslim, Around 38 years old. He is such a calm and honest person. I trusted him and He never let me down in my past 5 years of this Company.

"Fine sir Alhamdulillah! As per your instructions I have arranged a meeting with Mr. Bruno Marcos company." Mr. Aliyaan told me.

"That's Great Mr. Aliyaan! I will be catching you people at sharp 12:30pm. Tell everyone to be ready and fully prepared." I instructed him and hang up the call.

I was out of breath. I sat on the bench to catch my breath. I felt like someone was staring at me. I looked here and there but couldn't find anyone I don't know what was happening but I feel so unusual.

That can't be my whim every time. I didn't feel this when I was in Pakistan, but here. This has been happening to me for the last two years and I have ignored it every time blaming my overthinking or Whim or delusion. Like someone is chasing me or keeping a check on me?

I heard footsteps behind the trees and I instantly start running towards that tree but Maybe he saw me coming towards him so he slipped away. I was worried now.

"Quem é Você???!!"

(Who are you???!!) I said loudly but no answer. I sat on the bench and opened my water bottle and gulped the liquid and make myself normal. Meanwhile, my phone rang and it was Asad. A smile crept on my lips looking the caller ID blinking on my phone screen. I instantly picked up his call.

"Adaaaab!" He chirped on the other side of the phone.

" Adaab! Adaab!" I replied and laughed.

" Mujhe pata ha k tum park mein ho is waqt." He said and a smile crept on my lips.

"Han aisa hi ha or tumhe yaad bhi kar raha hn" I said

"Awwwwweee" he replied in girlish tone.

"Ewwww! Asad Aisi fuzool harkatein kaha se seekhte ho?" I asked and laughed.

"Meri aik cousin ha Noori usse seekha ha" He replied. I know he was teasing her.

"Han har ghalat kaam mere se seekha ha" Noori spoke from back.

"Acha ye chaye rakho or niklo." Asad said.

"Han han jarahi hn" She said and Asad laughed. I too laughed.

"Waisey koi sar khaney wala nahi tha na isliye abhi miss kar raha the tumhe" I said and smiled.

"Very funny Aqib" Asad replied. Then we talk about random stuff and hung up the call. He will be there in Brazil in some days. I was feeling very good and relaxed now. I check the time on my wristwatch and left.

It was 7 in the morning I went home. Everyone was sleeping. No one wakes up in our house before 9 o'clock. I went to my room. It was brightened due to sunlight coming from the glass door. I looked at Abbiya smile crept on my lips. Abbiya was sleeping on a prayer mat. She was sitting on praying mat against the bed and her one arm was placed under her face. I covered the glass door with Curtain, some light was still peeking inside the room from sides but it was dark now I turned on the side lamp.

"Abbiya" I gently shook her arm she opened her eyes. I hold her hand and helped her to adjust on the bed and handed her a glass of water. And folded the prayer mat.

"Aqib sab uth gaye hn?" She asked.

"Nahi abhi to 7 baje hn koi bhi 9 baje se pehle ni uthey ga Aap so jayein me bhi change karne k badd soney laga hn thori dair" I said taking out a dress from the closet.

"Ok! Aqib mujhe abhi bhi thakan mehsoos horahi ha Itna lamba safar nahi kiya mne kabhi or sar mein bhi dard ha Ap please mujhe koi painkiller de dein" She said rubbing her temples.

" Fever to nahi Aapko?" I touched her forehead but thankfully she didn't have fever.

" Thanks Allah nahi ha or Han Safar ki waja se ho raha ha shayad. Mein daita hn apko painkiller Wo le ke thori dair so jayein Aap" I said and open my drawer and handed her a painkiller from medicine box. She gulped that tablet with water.

"Agar me na jagi hui to please mujhe Utha dijiye ga neeche jane se pehle" She said.

"Ok boss! Or koi huqum?" I said with a smile and she nodded her head in 'no' and smile. Soon she dipped into sleep. I changed myself and adjusted myself on bed. I turned my face around Abbiya's side. I was staring her innocent face. Flashbacks started from last days. How my life is changing because of her. She was sleeping peacefully. I don't know when I dozed off.

Abbiya POV.

I woke up at 8:30 in the morning and Aqib was sleeping facing my side. I looked at him and smiled. He always tries to lighten up my mood and made me smile. I tied my hair in a bun and open the glass door without removing the curtains, lest he is disturbed. I went to the balcony. The sun rays were directly hitting my eyes. My eyes squinted. I manage to look around the balcony, I was in a great mood.

The 8 feet wide and 14 feet long balcony. The balcony was on the front side of the house, the whole garden, and the main gate of the house was clearly visible from there. There was a hanging chair swing in the right corner of the balcony and two chairs and small tables were nicely placed in the middle. Both sidewalls of the balcony had some walled potted plants and flowers. And I could see a cute Hanging birdhouse at the left corner of the balcony. A smile crept on my lips.

Although It was beautiful and breathtaking. But I miss my house, my room, my study room, and my everything. Adjusting dupatta on my head I stood at the railing of the balcony and let the fresh air in. I love this balcony and the view from there. There is a lot of greenery in this place.

I went inside and headed towards bathroom and took a relaxing shower and changed into Ash grey coloured, light embroidered angrakha style kurti and same coloured trouser and Applied baby pink coloured lipstick, kajal and liner.

" Hey! Good morning Aap uth bhi gyin?" Aqib said and smiled I could see him from dressing table mirror.

"Good morning..... Jee mein uth gyin hn or bohat ziyada soyi hun mazeed nahi so sakti thi mein" I replied him brushing my hair. I glanced at him. His hairs were messy and He was looking cute in his loose T shirt and trousers. I looked away from him and again starting brushing my hairs. He was checking his phone.

" Itna lamba safar kr k ayin thin isliye...Waisey bhi achi baat ha thik se so gayin aap. Ab thakan to ni ha?" He asked with concerned and my heart filled.

"Nahi Ab thik hn" I replied and tied my hair into a pony tail.

"Good! mein shower le k change kr k ata hn. Phir chaltey hn Mom Dad uth gaye honge. Aaj se office bhi jana ha" He said.

" Best of luck for that" I said and stand up and took out the dupatta from the closet. He held my arm, glanced at me and passed a lethal smile.

"Achi lag rahi hn Aap" He looked at me and smiled, then move towards his closet. I was halted at my place. Heat start emitting from my cheeks.

"Mein bikul nahi daikh raha Apko magar Mujhe pata ha Aap ab yaqeenan blush kar rahi hongi" He said inside the dressing room. I didn't utter a single word. I just smiled and sat on the couch waiting for him.

After sometime he came out and dressed himself in grey Formal pants, white shirt and grey coat.

"Chalein?" He asked and smile, I nodded. I adjusted duppata on my head and we both left.

We both went downstairs and Khala and khalu was sitting in living room.

"Asalam o Alaikum." I said.

"Wa'alaikum Asalam! Beta neend thik se agyi thi?" Khala Asked me and Khalu patted my head.

"Jee agyi thi" I replied meanwhile Aqib phone rang and he excused us. I sit on sofa beside Khala.

"Masha Allah bohat piyari lag rahi ho" she kissed my forehead and My heart filled. I miss Ammi badly.

"Start hogyin aapke betey ki official calls" Khala stated.

"Han... Iskey bagair guzara bhi nahi uska" Khalu replied peeking behind the newspaper and smiled.

" Abbiya tum kabhi visit karna mere Cafe" khalu said with a bright smile.

"Zaroor visit karu gi mujhe bohat acha lagega" I replied and smile.

"Sorry kaam ka bht load ha or bohat sara pending kaam finish krna ha" Aqib said, suddenly entering in the living room.

" Apna ye kaam jaldi khatam karo Abhi shadi hui ha tumhari... Tumhari biwi pehli baar ayi ha yaha Usse ghumao phirao bahar" Khala ordered him smiling. I was quite and listening the whole conversation.

"Zaroor Mom Bas thora sa time chahiye. I hope Abbiya won't mind" He said and smile.

" No problem. I understand" I replied genuinely.

" Mein Nashta laganey jarahi hn ajao sab....Or phir iskey badd meri friends arahi hn meri Bahu ko daikhne" Khala said and smile. I too stood up with her.

"Tum baitho mein daikh ln gi" She said.

"Thori si help krwa deti hn" I said.

" Bikul bhi nahi...chup kr k baith jao yaha" She ordered.

" Lekin-" I insist but I was cut by her.

"Yaha baith k apney Khalu or Aqib ko Company do jab meri friends ayein gi tb chaye tum serve krlena" She said and smile.

"Ok" I said and she left.
