Also wirklich die Menschen sind so verschieden und doch finden sie sich, oder?

Ragini was looking at him, "who are you? Mr. Lakshya Maheshwari, how dare you to lie that too into my father's face?"

Rehan, who is actually Laksh gulps, "please calm down, let me explain you." He was moving to her, but she stopped him.

"Stay there or I will shout as loud as possible, you are in the house of an army man. Did you thought you can come to our county and spy on us? Hindustani ho {are you an Indian}? Jadoo si karne aaye ho {You come here to spy on us}! Chorenge nahi tumhe {I won't let you}!"

Laksh was standing in front of her, he closed her mouth with his palm, "shut up! You talk so much and aren't ready to listen to anyone. I'm here not to spy but to find someone."

Ragini frowns, she rolls her eyes and bites into his hand, she spits it out from her mouth, "yuck!" She went over her lips with her sleeve and he moans in pain, "ouch and yuck." He glares at her, shaking his hand in pain.

"Don't you have a better excuse? 'I'm here to find someone' let me guess your lost brother?" Ragini said in anger and he nodded to her disappointment, "what really? Such a lame excuse to enter a country, the highest in you enemy list. An Indian here in Pakistan, have you lost your mind? Do you want to be killed?"

Laksh glares at her, "no one can kill me, and I'm not mad, but I have a sister-in-law waiting for the return of her husband. The army has stopped searching for him, but it doesn't mean I will stop!" He said in anger and looked at her, "did you changed my clothes?" His eyes become sharp like a knife.

Ragini moves backwards, "I had to, you were soaked in water and there was no one who could change your clothes, so I did. Don't worry I covered you." She said with crossed arms around her chest, "as if I have seen anything from you. I'm a very good girl." She shouts at him and he frowns at her.

"Good Girl?! Why on earth I'm not wearing an underwear? Do you even have an imagination, how it feels?"

Ragini shrugs, "no and I don't want to know it. Besides I didn't had anything to make you wear."

Laksh shook his head, "where are my clothes and my bag?" He asked her and she was irritated by his questions, "you can go up to the roof and get your clothes, which I have washed and hanged to dry. You can thank me later for keeping your identity as my secret." She opens the door and left from there.

Laksh went through his hair and shook his head in disbelief. Where I got stuck? Oh gosh I'm so death, but even I'm an army man and can fight for myself. This girl could become a hurdle.

He left the room and went upstairs, he was looking into the beautiful afternoon.

Wait the Azaan was for Asar and I talked so long with that girl that the next Azaan appeared, they are calling for Maghreb.

Laksh wore his clothes, he went down and saw Shafaqat with Abdul, both were enjoying their food.

"There you are, where you taking a nap?" Shafaqat asked and he shook his head, "I'm sorry I hope you didn't missed the pray because of me?"

They shook their heads, "no, we waited but when you didn't returned we left as the time was running we don't like to read the Namaz {Pray} in Khaza {Delay}."

Laksh, who is Rehan for them nodded understandably, "Maghreb?"

Abdul stood up, "I told you this boy isn't bad, might have modern views, but value the traditions." He placed his arm behind Laksh back, "come."

Laksh nodded and they left for the prayer, Ragini was fuming in anger. How dare he? He can't read the Namaz then why is he going with them?! Anger was rising inside her, till her mother called her, "Ragini come it's time for the pray."

Ragini huffs, but she won't forget it.

It was late in the night, the men stayed near the mosque as the Isha pray wouldn't be far. They drunk chai at a nearby street stand and just talked about here and there.

"What you do?" Shafaqat asked Laksh, "I'm a simple employee. I got holiday and thought to make a small tour through Pakistan."

Abdul looked at him, "and you landed here in Marala?"

Laksh nodded with an awkward smile, "yes, Marala. Punjab/Gujrat, right?!" He was nervous and they nodded, "yes, right."

They returned home after the prayer and Laksh went upstairs to his room, where he got a shock seeing her sitting near the balcony, her legs were hanging down the railings and she was keeping her eyes fixed on him.

Laksh gulps. She won't leave me. He closed the door and went closer to her, he was standing and she was moving with her eyes, "Sit." A clear order he followed.

Laksh was sitting next to her, he was looking into the beautiful night.

"Tum Namaz parne kyun gaye the {Why you went to pray}?"

Laksh looked at her, "because I want to keep my identity to be a secret. And therefore I had to go for a prayer."

Ragini hits him, "how dare you to use my religion for your benefit, you disrespected it."

Laksh shook his head, "no, I didn't." He rubs his arm, "I respected it. If I had to disrespect or insult it then I wouldn't have worn my underwear. I did a Wudu and performed the prayer according to the right standard. If I'm not wrong it doesn't hurt if I perform as long as my heart and mind is clear."

Ragini was glaring him with the corner of her eyes, "you are smart, you are a Fauji {Military}?!"

Laksh nodded, there was no way out she would find it out anyhow, "I'm major Lakshya Maheshwari."

Ragini looked at the night, "so your brother?"

Laksh nodded, "yes, my brother." He too looked out into the night.
