Ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The False Messiah will come upon this marsh of Marriqanat (near Medina). Most of those who go out to him will be women, until a man goes back to his wife, his mother, his daughter, his sister, and his aunt to shackle them tightly, fearing they would go out to him.”

The two days passed quickly while Rehan busy with his work. Since he wasn't here for a month there was a lot he needed to check in, even though everything was going on smoothly he just needed something to take his mind off.

"Rehan what are you doing here?" Kaif said waking in his cabin, gazing at Rehan who had his eyes on the laptop a frown on his face.

"Nothing was just going the presentation." Rehan said and Kaif nodded his head taking a seat in front of him.

"But what are you doing here? Don't you have to be at the airport to receive your father?" Rehan asked looking at the time and Kaif nodded his head taking the magazine that was kept on the table aimlessly.

"Well I had to be but their flight got delayed so I might leave in an hour and you are accompanying me." Kaif said and Rehan raised his eyebrow at him shaking his head.

"I never said that I would be coming with you." Rehan said glaring at Kaif who was now reading the magazine not giving a heed about what Rehan was speaking.

"I know you never said, but I am telling you this." Kaif said and Rehan did not argue because he knew arguing with him would be a waste of time.

"What is wrong with you?" Kaif asked Rehan making him confused. He shrugged his shoulder not knowing what he was speaking about.

"Nothing is wrong with me." Rehan said taking a file that was kept at the end of the table, "Why would you ask me such a question?" Rehan asked after going through the file while glancing at Kaif but then again going back to the file.

"Because you have been utterly quiet since the day we visited Saif's house and you are trying to neglect your food and not to forget you have been engrossed in this files." Kaif said snatching the file from Rehan, making him glare at him. He ignored what he said and continued working on his laptop avoiding the heated gaze that was on him.

"You are just overthinking." Rehan said after a long period of time making Kaif to sigh. He didn't knew what was wrong with Rehan but he was sure it had to be something related to Rida. Gaining enough courage he asked,

"Does it have to do something with Rida?" Kaif looked at Rehan who stiffed at her mention but then slowly shook his head and continued his work.

Kaif sighed in defeat not asking anything further and left, giving Rehan his personal space but not before reminding him that they had to leave in an hour to collect his parents.

Rehan saw Kaif leaving his cabin making him sigh. He didn't knew what was wrong with him. He knew Kaif had pointed out the right thing but he did not feel like he should disclose what was bothering him because he himself was confused onto what exactly was bothering him.

He didn't knew whether it was Rida's marriage talk or the fact that Rida and Kaif knew each other and that he had hidden it from him? He didn't knew what was pissing him so much and that was the reason he had been avoiding Rida too.

He looked down at his phone that had so many messages from Rida. He knew she might be thinking that he would be busy with his work, and he was glad but he was also ashamed knowing that she wasn't even wrong and he was ignoring her.

He kept down his phone and after checking his time, he shut down his laptop getting up to leave when he saw Kaif walking inside reminding him about the departure.

"Shall we leave?" Kaif asked and Rehan nodded his head while wearing the coat that laid lazily on his chair. Kaif looked at Rehan taking his phone and the car keys before looking at Kaif. They both started walking out of the cabin. Rehan informed his assistant to cancel all the meetings that were scheduled for today since he was busy and after instruction him some more things they both headed towards the parking.

Rehan started driving towards the airport, lost in his own thoughts while Kaif was busy on his cell phone. Ten minutes and they both were on the airport busy with their phone.

"Kaif?" Both the lads looked up when they heard someone calling out to Kaif. Rehan realised that it was Rida's father and behind her were his entire family. Rehan got up followed by Kaif and they both greeted the man and Kaif fell in a conversation with Mr Shaikh while Rehan's gaze fell on Rida who looked lost to even notice him. Faiza noticed Rehan and waved at him making him smile while he walked towards them to greet them when he saw Kaif busy talking.

"Assalamualaikum." Rehan greeted Rida's mother his gaze lingering on Rida who now was pretending of ignoring him, her back facing him.

"Walaikumassalam Rehan, how are you?" He had a small conversation with Mrs Shaikh before he headed to Faiza who was standing with Rida looking at the people around her.

"Assalamualaikum Faiza how are you?" He asked gazing at Rida who huffed a little making him smile. Faiza looked between the two understanding that they both not on talking terms and smirked.

"Walaikumassalam jeeju, Alhamdulillah I am fine but I guess someone is not fine here." She said loud enough for Rida to hear. Rida pinched Faiza making her wince but the blush could be clearly seen on her face.

Rehan rubbed the back of his neck embarrassed on the term Faiza used for him. He knew she was just playing around and there was no harm in it.

"Oh I see." Rehan said looking at Rida giving her a sly smile while she glared at him, her blush not leaving her face.

"Someone is blushing." Faiza whispered in Rehan's ear but loud enough to Rida to hear. Rida ignored what she said and kept herself occupied with her phone.

If he was gonna ignore her then she would do the same!

Rehan smiled at Faiza and continued talking to her, not even daring to speak to Rida because he could clearly see how pissed she was.

"Assalamualaikum." Kaif greeted them making Faiza to squeal knowing he was here in India making a lot of people to turn to them which made the trio embarrassed.

"Walaikumassalam." Rida said from behind Faiza slapping her sister for being not so decent on the airport.

Kaif and Rida fell in a conversation, Rida's back facing Rehan, purposely showing that she was actually angry on him. Faiza had gone to her father to ask for something to eat while Rehan tried using his cell pretending to avoid the two who were having a good time talking. Kaif could see Rehan glancing their way more then he should be and he smiled at that.

"Everyone is being call. The flight has been landed." Faiza informed them and they nodded their head before going to were the elder couple was. Faiza ran towards her parent's while Kaif and Rehan were talking about something with Rida trailing behind them.

They went and stood behind the couple, Kaif eager too meet his parents. Everyone were busy searching for Mr Sayed and taking this as a chance Rehan moved away from Kaif and stood besides Rida. She noticed him besides her and she could feel her heart hammering in her chest but she pretended to not have not noticed him. She was upset that he was not talking to her. She thought that he might be busy with work or Kaif but when she had seen Rehan had replied to Faiza's message she knew that he was ignored her, and the reason? She didn't knew!

She smiled bitterly because she always had no idea what happened around her and for what reason but it pained her to know that Rehan was ignoring her without nay reason or so she thought.

"Angry?" Rida glanced at Rehan from the corner of her eyes, who had his face straight looking ahead.

She did not reply but shook her head.

"I had no reason to be angry." She said almost painfully and Rehan turned to her to see her face but she excused herself and walked away from there and there was nothing that pained him more than watching her walk away from him!

Rida walked inside the washroom and stood in front of the mirror. She looked at herself in the mirror. She could clearly see the tears that have welled up in her eyes and just as they were waiting for her to notice, a single tear fell from her eyes.

"Why do I always end up like this?" She whispered to herself, mad on her own self for always ending up crying. She stood there for a few minutes when she heard a click. She hurriedly turned the tap on of the water and splashed water on her face.

"Di, what are you doing here? They have come." Faiza said looking at Rida wash her face. Rida nodded her head and wiping her face with the tissue paper that were handed too her by Faiza, they walked out.

She noticed that even Mrs Sayed and Sheerin had come. Sheerin ran towards Rida, when her eyes fell on her and embraced Rida in a bear hug. Rida was taken aback but overcoming it she hugged her back. She moved away and allowed Sheerin to drag to the place where everyone were present. She could feel a pair of eyes gazing at throughout but she ignored it. She did not wanted to talk to him at the moment.

After exchanging greeting and some words, everyone walked out Rida trying her best involve in the conversation with Faiza and Sheerin but failed miserably.

"So where are you all going to stay?" Mr Shaikh asked and Mr Sayed informed about his house in India and that Kaif would be driving them

"Ahh actually dad I thought that you alone will be visiting so I did not get our car." Kaif explained and his father gave him a glare while Rehan had no slight idea of what was going on, his gaze still on Rida who was doing her best to avoid him.

"Don't worry I will drop you'll home." Mr Shaikh and they nodded their head not in a position to decline the offer.

"We elders will go in one car with all the bags and you girls can come with the boys okay?" Mr Sayed said to Kaif and he nodded but Rida so wanted to reject the idea but with a smile on her face she assured her mother that they will be alright.

The elders went to the car and after Rehan and Kaif had put in all the bags, they left while the girls along with Kaif waited for Rehan to get his car. After Rehan had brought his car, he waited for everyone to settle. Faiza and Sheerin jumped in the backseat while Rida was almost inside while Kaif called out to her. She looked confused and got down while Rehan noticed this. He felt a pang of jealousy hit him. He tried listening to what Kaif had to say but it was inaudible.

"Do you want to seat in front?" Kaif asked Rida and she gave him a confused looked before shaking her head.

"You know just wanted to play safe so that we don't end up in any accident." Kaif said smirking at her and she knitted her eyebrows together more confused not understanding what he was trying to say.

"You know someone is unable to remove his eyes from you since the time we have arrived." He said and without any other word he got inside the passenger leaving a flushed Rida behind.

Rida got inside the car trying her best to calm the hammering of her chest and even the deep blush that was residing on her cheek. She knew he had been gazing at her but was it so obvious? She smiled a little at Kaif's words and looked up to see a pair of dark eyes staring back at her through the mirror. She didn't knew what she was in those eyes but she was clear those were not the soft black eyes but the one she would never want to witness.

"Dude lets go." Kaif said snapping back Rehan from his staring. His hold on the steering wheel was tight enough to know that he was angry. He didn't knew what was making him angry but he was sure that it had to b Rida.

They reached Kaif's house almost twenty minutes later as it was situated away from the city. They got down and started walking away, Kaif eager to have something since he was famished while the girls were still busy with their conversation not even once glancing around while Rida walked behind them her head lowered not interested in their talks. Rehan walked behind Rida trying to figure out his own emotions his gaze on Rida's back.

They entered the living area to see the elders busy in a conversation while Kaif was having an apple. The girls walked and sat down besides their mother while Rida stood behind Faiza when there was no place for her. Rehan stood at the corner finding himself out of place when he saw both the family having a good time together.

"I think I should leave." Rehan said gazing around the room, his gaze lingering on Rida for longer but then he averted his eyes, focusing on Kaif.

"Rehan have dinner and leave." Mrs Sayed but he shook his head and told that he had some important work to be done and after biding everyone bye he walked out but Kaif followed him.

"Rehan I am coming with you." Kaif said and Rehan arched his eyebrow.

"You don't have to, I can handle everything and you should spent your time with your family." He said pointing in the direction they just left. Kaif shook his head and they both got inside the car, Rehan not in the mood to argue with him.

"What's wrong?" Kaif asked once they were out of sight of their house, and Rehan looked at him confused before shaking his head, his hold firm on the steering wheel.

"Well I can clearly see that something is definitely not right." Kaif said pointing to his hands, and Rehan hurriedly released his hold, embarrassed to have shown his emotions very easily.

He shook his head, giving him a smile and pretending that nothing was wrong but his smiled vanished when Kaif asked him a question he was dreading. A question for which he had an inner turmoil.

"Were you jealous of me?"
