Shiza's POV (Edited)

It was night now. Khala was in the kitchen making dinner. Since morning, when Shah Zain left me there, I was instantly engulfed by khala's sweet embrace. Her motherly scent enhanced my senses.

The way her face contorted into pure surprise and joy just made my day. Although, I felt bad for lying to her when she asked me where Shah Zain was. She was looking forward for him to come here. I did make a reasonable excuse

"He was running late for a very important meeting. He should've stop by if he wasn't getting late."

Khala nodded her head in affirmation and said

"Don't worry dear. It's ok."

I tried to smile at her but my smile came out forced. Well, I spent all my day chattering to her. We talked and ate together. Bisma also decided to come home early as her lectures was canceled and she also reached early. She was really excited when she saw me sitting there.

Since then, khala was busy in kitchen while me and Bisma decided to chatted along. We talked about all the things I missed. Bisma told me that how she passed with flying colors in her recent tests.

I was really happy for her. She is doing really best. I am satisfied that both my family members are doing all right. They are satisfyingly living their lives. Ya Allah! Keep them safe and sound and always keep them in your protection...

It was almost nine in the night. We had already ate our dinner. Khala had made my favorite Chinese rice. I loved to eat them especially made by khala's hands. We catch up everything in this span of time and enjoyed the time together.

After we got freed from dinner, it was already 10 in the night. Shah Zain had messaged me that he will pick me up at around 11. He will directly come here and pick me up. Since then, I have been waiting for him to come. Bisma had gone to bed as she has an early class in the morning. Khala is reciting Quran as her habit.

She always recite Quran before going to bed. I was sitting beside her resting my head on her lap and closed my eyes. Her beautiful voice and the intriguing words of the Holy Quran were a melancholy in my ears. They were sweet like honey. Khala was even stroking my hairs and it almost made me sleepy. But I can't sleep.

Shah Zain will pick me soon. I was on the verge on sleep when the door bell rang. Khala and my attention went towards the door. I sat up from her lap and she stroked my hairs before saying

"Go and check beta. Shah Zain has come."

I nodded my head before making my way to the front door. As I opened the door, I found him standing there. His usual clothing was a little unmanaged. His hairs were messy. His jacket was off and was hanging on his arm. His eyes looked tired and his shoulders were slouched. He looked worn out. His tired yet edgy voice brought me out of my wonderland
