Chapter 35

"What a shame that Allah comes down to the first heaven at night, only to find his slave asleep."

Ahmad's POV

I felt someone's hand on my forehead in the middle of the night. I opened my eyes and saw the blurry Ayesha.

"What?" I asked in a sleepy tone.

"Umm I am just checking if you have the mark of salah on your forehead." She said watching my forehead which made me wide awake and now I could see Ayesha clearly.

"What? At 3 a.m. you woke up to see whether I have a mark of salah on my forehead or not?" I asked sitting up.

"Yes what's the problem in that?" She asked casually.

"That's so weird, it fells like you are possessed by a jinn" I said laughing and she gave me not-so-funny look.

"By the way what makes you think that so suddenly?" I asked her.

"Nothing I was just wondering." She said with a sigh.

"By the way how did I come here? I remember I was in the car." She said changing the topic before I could say anything.

"Don't be mad at me for that but Shirana insisted me to pick you up because you were soundly sleeping and didn't wake up when I tried waking you up. She said me to pick you up as she didn't wanted to interrupt your beauty sleep." I said.

"Aw my Shirana."

"Huh what about me? You know how heavy you were?" I said sarcastically and she twisted my ears.

"Okay okay you were so light that it didn't feel like that I was holding a girl." I said and she left my ears turning it red.

"Now think before you say a girl fat." She said and went back to her area to sleep and I did the same.

"Ahmad."

"Hmm."

"You knew me before you saw me in the college?" She asked suddenly. I wonder what she is up to.

"Hmm." I again responded the same and that blew her up.

"Tell me." She again sat and forced me to sit up too.

"Have you seen the time?" I said to her.

"Yes but I don't care." She said and I just glared at her with a NO.

"Come on." She said.

"Hmm okay so it wasn't the first time in college when I saw you." I said and she gave me a look of i-know-that.

"Umm okay so when I was around ten years, its then I saw you the very first time." I said and she looked shocked.

"Really?" She said widening her eyes.

"And you would be around six or seven." I informed her.

"Where did you see me?" She asked curiously.

"Umm you and your dada use to come for a walk in a park and my abbu use to take me for a walk in the same park."

"But why don't I remember?" She asked.

"Because your brain's processor is slow." I said pressing my lips and she rolled her eyes towards me.

"No I was just small." She said.

"Yeah exactly. See I told you your processor is slow." I said and she tapped her hand on my shoulder.

"Then?" She asked taking the cushion on her lap as if I was narrating a story.
