She was walking down to the park which was near her house, she got to know about this today so she decided to check it out

When her feet got tired of walking she sat down on the bench and started looking at the kids which were playing on the play ground

Smiling she took her phone out to click some snaps

While taking photos her smile turned upside down when her mobile camera cought a snap of an old man who looked really tired or maybe sick

She quickly got up and started walking to the direction of the old man

"Sir are you okay?" Getting near him she hold his arms because she can see he was having trouble to maintain his balance

She made him sit on the near bench and again asked the same question, but the man couldn't answer as he tried to answer he only gasp for air

Roshni understood the situation

"Your inhaler? Where is your inhaler," worriedly she asked, the old man pointed at floor, Roshni took her eyes there she saw a silver tinged

She quickly went to pick it, making the old man hold the inhaler she took it to his mouth, he inhaled it two times as Roshni rubbed his back

"Than.... Thank you beta! Allah tumhe khush rakhe," after getting his breath back the old man blessed her

(May God bless you.)

"Koi baat nahi, but aap akele bahar na Jaya kare'n"

(There is no need to thanks me but you shouldn't go outside alone,)

"Kya karu koi Hai hi nahi sath aney ke liye, ek pota Hai woh bhi nalayak. Tum batao tum Kon ho? Pehle toh tumhe yaha nahi dekha," he said but when his eyes fall on Roshni who was seated beside him rubbing his back he was met with a familiar eyes of grey that he thought he has saw somewhere.

(I don't have anyone who will take me here, but you tell me who are you? I haven't seen you before.)

"Hum woh Asfand Sayyed ke yaha ayen Hain woh humare nana jaan hai,"

(I'm here for vacation, I'm granddaughter of Asfand Sayyed.)

"Asfand Bhai ke yaha? Affan ne bataya nahi ki koi mehman ayi hai Asfand Bhai ke yaha," last part he whispered to himself, Roshni just sat there not knowing what to say

(Asfand Bhai? But Affan didn't told me about you.)

She didn't even know who Affan is and why would he informed him about anyone's arrival in Sayyed Haveli

"Sir apko hum apke Ghar Tak drop karde'n?" when the old man stand up, Roshni couldn't help but offered help

(Sir do you need help?)

The man needen help because he was still weak, so he took her help

"Waise mujhe nahi pata Tha ki Asfand Bhai ki koi nawasi bhi hai?" While walking he said, Roshni didn't know what to answer for this question

(I didn't knew Asfand Bhai has a granddaughter.)

As few months ago she also didn't knew she has a whole family

She always thought that Khawar is her only family

Her feet got stopped when she saw the old man opening a familiar gate of brown coloured

"Kya hua? Ruk kyu gayi? Andar aao," he invite her

(Why did you stopped walking? Come inside.)
