Chapter-2

Ahad's pov.

"Anayaaaaaa - I woke up, screaming and breathing heavily, as I looked around. I was in my room, I sighed. I wiped the sweatbuds formed on my forehead.

Again the nightmare.

"Raat ki khamoshi raas nahi aati

Meri parchayi bhi ab mere paas nahi aati

Aati hai to bas aapki yaad,

Jo aakar ek pal bhi mujhse door nahi jati"

(I don't like the silence of the night

Even my shadow doesn't come near me,

If comes, I only remember you

Who comes and does not go away from me even for a moment)

Anaya, I miss you please come back - I thought.

I messed my hairs which were already messed up, I rubbed my forehead with my fingers. It's not new for me as I usually gets nightmares while sleeping. I got up from my bed and went to do my morning chores, its sunday so no office.

***

As everyone saw me, mom came towards me with a beautiful smile on her lips, my lips automatically curved in a smile seeing her.

"Ahad, come have breakfast come - said mom caressing my cheeks lovingly, I nodded my head and sat on chair, I greeted everyone.

My friends were also here. Reyan, well he has a father who is like my father, my mentor. Her mother died when he was 10. Sharik, is an orphan and they both considers my mom as their mom also.

As we all sat on chairs, my father came and as he saw me his damonear changed, he did the things which broke my heart.

"Rahima (the servant) I want my breakfast in my room - he roared and went in his room. Everyone started talking to cheer up my mood.

"That ours makeup kit bhabhi (sister in law) didn't come to have breakfast - said adam (my brother) filling his mouth with food and everyone burst out laughing.

"I am really sorry everyone, actually hadiya and Danish. Both are sleeping till now I think - said chachi (aunt) with a guilty look. She is really sweet unlike Danish and hadiya.

"Ohh god, I wish my mom and dad have kept some beautiful name for me. My ahad would have opened a hotel, but my fate. Kulsooma seriously who names her child with this name - said grandma dramatically making everyone burst again into fits of laughter.

She is really dramatic, but cute. She hates her own name.

"Don't worry grandma, your second grandson. I will open a hotel for you - said adam with I-can-do-anything look on his face.

"Seriously adam, you will open it. Tell me then, I am excited - said grandma jumping from her chair like an enthusiastic kid who got her chocolate.

Can anyone say, her age is 81.

Its freaking truth!!!! Age is just a number.

"I will name it 'kulsooma begum da dhaba' (kulsooma Begum's roadside restaurant) - said adam making everyone laugh.

"Beda Barak ho tera naaspeete (I wish your ship sank, you idiot) - said grandma, my friends were literally clutching their stomachs.

"Good morning everyone - a voice came from behind, which I knew was hadiya. She came and sat on chair.

"Ohh good morning my sweetest makeup kit bhabhi (sister in law) - said adam in the sweetest taunting way, we were controlling our laughter which were about to escape from our mouth, she was fuming in anger.

"Adam, don't you have office today - said hadiya, gritting her teeth and fuming in anger.

"Ohh I think you forget. Oh god, I am also dumb, for you everday is Sunday. As you have nothing to do, sorry I forget - said adam fakely gasping.

"Rahima I want mine and danish's breakfast in my room, why I came here. I want my bed tea - she screamed and went to her room stomping her foot, aunt left to gave them their breakfast.

"I want my bed tea huhh - said grandma mimicking her, we all chuckled.

We had our breakfast, talking, laughing and pulling each others legs. We sitting in living area in hall now.

"Hey ahad, its Sunday. Let's go somewhere, it's been days we've gone for outing - said reyan pouting.

"Yes, we should go. I also want to go out, let's go - said sharik whining like a child.

"But reyan shari..... - I started but was cut of in between by adam.

"Ahad brother, let's go please - said adam making puppy dog eyes.

"Ok, let's go - I said shooking my head at their antics, three of them starter jumping.

Can someone say, my friends are of 27

And my brother is 24.

We were talking and laughing, in that whole time. Neither dad came out nor Danish and hadiya. I didn't do anything, I was not the culprit, I was never at fault but he doesn't understands me.

I love my dad,

It's been years we've talked, or we can say he talked to me.

Four of us got up, bidding bye to everyone. We decided to roam just on streets. I sat on driving seat, reyan beside me and they both on backseat.

"Oh god, I'm getting bored. Switch on the radio - said reyan, the drama queen. As he switched on, the song started.

Chithhi na koyi Sandes,

Jane wo konsa des jaha tum chale gaye <2

(No letter or something,

I don't know where he left leaving me alone)

As I heard the song, her thoughts came in my mind. Everything started coming in my mind, her naughtiness, her pranks, her cuteness and every memory we made together.

"Ahad dudee ahad - said reyan shaking my shoulder, I was so lost in her thoughts that I forget I was driving.

"Yeahh, yes wh...what happened?? - I said stuttering, I blinked my eyes to hide the moisture in my eyes.

"Are you ok - he asked placing his hand on my shoulder, I just nodded my head with a forced smile.

We all started talking, but suddenly we saw crowd formed on the streets, the whole street was blocked because of the crowd.

"Hey look, the crowd over there - said sharik pointing at the crowd.

"I think we should see - said adam, I also thought to go outside and see. What if someone got into accident.

"What if someone needs our help, let's see - I said getting out of the car, everyone followed me. As we came little forward, the scene which we saw shocked us.
