Daniyal's POV

****Flash back****

"Assalamoalikum . How are you Ami(Mother)? "

"Walikumoassalam , Im good my dear son. You never forget to greet me in typically Islamic way." Amber further says "Its so good to hear you in the morning. Have you prayed Fajar?"

"Yes mom, how can I start my day without Fajar prayer? "

"That's great! You know Prayer is the key to Success. Im so glad that you're offering prayers regularly in such a busy schedule."

"Mom Religion is always first in my priorities.You can't let down your majors because of minors . Islam is Major for me and Prayer is major in Islam. This world is so for temporary pleasures but Islam is forever."

"Well said son. Im so proud of you. Anyway are you going somewhere? "

"Yups mom, Im going to Orphanage. Im missing kids."

" This is I guess the third time you're saying the same statement son. Im sure this isn't effecting your work."

"No mom not at all. Don't worry Im managing time for both of them. They are adorable and innocent that I cant stop myself to go there. They made me feel like normal and ordinary person. No protocol, no VIP attitude for me. I can eat biryani with my hands , just like our ancestors' tradition. I so love Pakistani traditions.

*******

I was parking my car in the parking lot behind the orphanage for Kids , when I saw her first. She isn't just a girl. She is more like Greek Goddess. So beautiful yet so innocent. I would say that she has just landed at Earth a second before. She has the prettiest eyes and angelic smile. I can stare her like forever.

She's gone !!! No way!! I don't even know where? I was lost in her magical personality that I couldn't figure out where she has vanished.I'm now dreaming about her ....in my car... at parking lot. This is ridiculous that I lost all my senses because of a girl. I mean , I met so many beautiful ladies from all around the world but she is someone beyond explanations.She is the hype of innocent beauty. So perfect , so unreal, so hard to keep your senses work accordingly.

I was so absorbed in praising her that I almost forgot that I came here to see kids. So I locked my car and went straight to the Orphanage.

They're so happy . Everyone is in a mood of celebration. I mean, they become happy when I visit them but not this much. I'm curious to know  the reason or reasons behind their happiness.

"Assalamoalikum, Dani beta ( Daniyal my son) what a pleasant surprise! "

"Walikumoassalam" I smiled back and added " How are you doing amma jee ( dear aunty).

"Alhumdulillah, Im absolutely fine. This is the third visit in a week Dani beta. "

" Amma jee,I'm missing kids all the time . Im miss your lovely nature . The place is something which is like magnet for me. It attracts me towards it."

" Oh Dani beta , you are such a humble person. May Allah bless you with happiness , healthy , long life ameen."

" Ameen"I smiled and asked" amma jee , why these kids are so happy. Is there some girl going to tie a knot? "

"Haha no beta. Actually a girl comes regularly, once a week along with cakes , cookies ,some toys and clothes .She is an angel. She loves kids just like you. She often reminds me of you" she smiled " Have some cup cakes. She baked them by herself ."

I smiled and picked a chocolate cup cake. Just one bite....and it flew me to the heaven. It is so delicious...fresh....It melts in mouth. You just bite it and disappear . This is the best cup cake ever.

"Amma jee who made these cupcakes? This is the best cake ever. I mean even PC can't reach to this level."

"Beta , her name is Aleena. She is learning baking and cooking.She's actually too good. She just left before your arrival." She smiled while knitting a sweater." Let me ask Afifa to show you photo. Afifa love taking selfies.

I saw the photo and she's the same girl I watched in the parking lot.Oh ,her name is Aleena. Nice name, perfect for her personality.

Ok, amma jee whenever she'll come next time, do call me. I want to meet her."

" Bad luck beta jee. She's going to Uk this Sunday. Allah knows when will she come here again!"

"Why is she going there?"

"To fulfill her only dream! " she paused and added "She has dream to be Chef and present Pakistan positively, for that she has to be expert and officially chef."

"Okay.... Which city ?"

"London I guess. I don't remember actually due to my age. " She smiled again.

*******

I met and played with the kids and later said goodbye to them. Im now fresh due to them and especially Aleena. I went straight to the travel agency and booked a ticket . Luckily my sectary Moin found out about Aleena's airline and seat number. I called him when I was with the kids. I just cant wait to meet her.

******
I was in a gym and thinking the time when I saw her first. She is absolutely stunning. I mean I'm not a tharki guy but she is making me fall for her.

***Flight day***
I reached Allama Iqbal International airport before time. I just want to see her again. God knows when will she come.

Three hours later:-
Finally she's here. I can see her from my VIP cabin. She is hugging an middle age woman, probably her mom, now she's hitting a guy , must be her brother. Moin has actually stalked her and her whole family ,he can tell the names of her khala , khaloo, chacha chachi etc. He has done his work perfectly. After hitting her brother , she's complaining to her father and controlling her tears. She is definitely not ready to leave her family. I can feel it even in my cabin. Her father is somehow worried about her lovely daughter and sacred to send her alone but at same time , he doesn't want to stop her daughter's fly beyond the skies. His eyes were saying "Go and get your dream comes true". You know , if you get to know about successful lady's story, there will be a father behind her who wants her daughter to explore the world , who trust his hard work of training her daughter to be a lady, a brother who isn't jealous of her sister's success and naming his jealousy as a matter of honour and a mother who is not desperate  to turn her daughter as an object of  marriage material...This is what Im actually seeing in the form of her family.

*******

She said goodbye to her family with heavy heart and entering inside for boarding.

I wish , I can console this sacred soul.How could someone be so pure in such time?

She has pushed by someone. This is driving me crazy . A big guy! She is so confused that she picked his phone instead of her. Actually they have the same phone set . Yeah freaky same phone set!

Time for action.

I went there straight to her so that she can ask me for help or so because I know she'd need me.

*****

Just as i thought , she asked me for help . She needed to call at her own phone and she needed someone elese phone so I gave her. Thank God , I haven't save her number in my phone otherwise I'd have caught by her. Its saved in notes anyway. We're seat partners too but she has no idea about it.

She is so in a hurry that she is not bother by me. She isn't asking me for selfie or autograph or a hug , shakehand . She is so normal with me . This thing attracts me towards her even more . Im trying to talk to her or start a conversation but she's not interested in it. She is busy in her own . Im sure if some ordinary girl would travel with me instead of Aleena, she would die out of happiness, thats what I face almost in every flight. But Aleena isn't impress to my star hood. She is taking me normal.....stranger... that's more about her personality, she's complete in herself.

*******

I want to meet her again . After that flight, I really want to be with her all the time. There is no one like her in this whole universe. The good thing is that she's in the same school where my cousin Palwasha is studying. Im dead sure that Aleena and Palwasha will become friends or bff .

******

Im at Palwasha's mansion, waiting for Aleena. Either she's always late or I come before time, whatever answer is , Im the one who's surviving. Waiting for someone is such a pain.

She comes and looks absolutely stunning like always. I don't know how she managed to look pretty always she without evening trying. She just wears simple kurta and nova pants or shalwar and looks way gorgeous than those models in Paris .

All the wedding days have gone superb . I gotta a lot of time to spent with her. TBH she is way more amazing than I thought. She is true patriot, she loves Pakistani food , clothes , customs and traditions, however when people leave their country, they leave their traditions and fond of others. But she's proud to be Pakistani and want to promote Pakistan positively just like me.

The day when she was leaving for school , after wedding, something happened beyond expectations. She was running so fast and without looking infront , I was busy with my phone , I couldn't notice that we're about to collide but when I got to know i was on top of her.

At first I couldn't realise it . Her eyes are tightly closed, like someone ate 10 red chillies at once. I was just looking at her beautiful face .... so pretty... so beautiful. You know what? What you think , reflects at your face , thats true . Beauty reflects from your face . Aleena is perfect example of it. I..... dont want to leave her .. but she won't be comfortable in this position. And this is clear from her expressions.

An hour later , Palwasha came and asked me to drop Aleena. I think she has some sort of hint about it. She is purposely doing it .

But good for me ! *wink*

We were in the car and Aleena is trying so hard to avoid eye contact and it makes her even more attractive.This wedding is best one so far .

******

Chef David is the pain in the ass. I know he has something in heart for Aleena. And that is not good. Aleena is pure and innocent, she cant handle that fox.

Palwasha called me and told me everything that chef David has done with her after that stupid competition. My blood has start boiling . I was devastated. How dare he even think of it. I really wanted to do something to stop him. He needs to know his limits.

I stopped him to touch her . He was holding her hand and Aleena was so restless . He eyes are full of fear. Im so ashamed to witness it .... I should protect my girl at every cost.

My sixth sense was right! He was about to.... his intentions were so wrong. I punched him hard , as hard as I could. My blood was boiling and my anger was roaring. I was so angry that I lost my senses ...I just wanted to kill that bastard. He was trying to hurt Aleena and this made more angry. The sight of Aleena in such fear and thought of him holding her hand , made me more hit him hard . I punched and punched and punched him .

She was struggling to stop him but his grip getting harder and stronger. Right than I couldn't control my anger and came in and hit hard Chef David at his face. Chef David lost his balance and fell on the ground.

I was on top of Chef David and punching him really hard.

First punch....

Second punch.....

Third punch....

Aleena has started to stop me.

"Daniyal stop. ......Daniyal stop it."l wasn't listening her. I just kept on punching him. My blood was boiling, I was unable to stop or connect to the world.She was grabbing me towards her to make me stop or

Forth punch.....

" Daniyal stopppp" She screamed while crying.

I stood  up and grabbed her by her hand and took her along with me. I was was actually holding her hand so tightly that She must be  feeling pain in it. I was just trying to remove his touch from her skin

"Get in the car NOW!!" I said loudly . I didn't notice it . But I was loud.

"Where are you taking me ? " she asked. Something in her eyes , pinching me really hard, like she is asking me that how can she trust me.

" Aleena just get in the car or I'll have to do it by myself." I couldn't tolerate the questions in her eyes.

She was staring at me.So lost .. she was so devastated. I feel more guilty after seeing her in such situation.But ....

" Aleena GET IN THE CAR ... Nowww!" I roared this time. She jumped due to my roar and suddenly got in the car

******

I took her to my flat in Parklane. She's confused and seeing the flat with wide opened eyes.
I grabbed her to the terrace . I just couldn't take this out of my head.

Silence......

"Im gonna kill that bastaed. How dare he touched you? "

" Daniyal, you really dont need to act like that. I'll manage." She said with failed attempt of pretending all right.

" you ... You will manage? Skip it ! I saw how did you manage it ?" I walked so  fastly towards her. I just couldn't tolerate it. " You will never see his face again . I will make sure to make him terminate from the school."

" What ? You can't do this . You almost beaten him to the death. You will not do any further harm to him."

"Did you just say that ? Or Im just hallucinating it ? "I came  near to her and she stepped back.

" You're crossing now Daniyal. Let me just-t leave. I'm getting late now." She tried to leave but Im  unconsciously holding her against the wall. And I was just an inch away from her. I was actually hear her heart pounding inside her chest.

"You , Miss Aleena Imran , Stay away from that desperate bastard! I'm telling you to stay away from him and from every wanker. You don't know anything about anyone.Just stay away from them especially from him. This is my warning to you. Got it ?" 

She's scared , very very scared. I cant take this anymore. I cant do this to her.

I stare at her for a while.  She is scared of me now. I was supposed to make her feel secure and protective but what have I done with her ... with us..This thought bring tears in my eyes .I lost the hard grip , lower down my head and asks her to leave.

"What happened Daniyal? Are you all right? " she asked with a concern.

" Leave" I replied with a weak voice.

"But Dani-----"

"Please" I said

She's picking her bag which is lying on the floor. " Be safe Aleena . Just be very safe" he said it.

The innocent soul can't handle such cruelty.
