Fawad was sitting on the chair tiredly , his hairs were sticking over on his forehead with sweat , and he was taking deep breaths to calm himself down .

He irritably picked up his phone to cut the call but stopped when he saw the caller ID. 'Safia.' He closed his eyes and answered.

He closed his eyes , to calm himself down . He picked up the call .

"Hello Safia ? How is your day going ?" He asked trying to get the most peaceful voice he could muster.

"Mr Siddiqui are you free?" She asked .

"Ofcourse, how can I help you sweetheart?" He inquired while getting up from the chair , trying to fix his hairs with his left hand .

"You sure you are free?" She inquired again.

"Yes , tell me what happened? Did someone troubled you?" He asked.

"No , actually, yes . I don't know " Safia frowned.

"Okay , relax . I am coming to college . Don't panic " Fawad just got out of the room , and stared at Rudhra who was standing outside holding a bottle of liquor in his hand , his eyes half droopy .

Dark circles were clearly evident , and he looked tired.

"What are you doing here ?" He asked Rudhra .

"I—I wanted to talk about something" Rudhra blurted out , alcohol reeking down his breath.

"I will talk later , sit in my room , and you"he stared at the maid beside .

"Clean the room" he added to the order , but before he could go, Rudhra put a hand over his shoulder.

"Your reports were—" Rudhra tried to say but his eyes felt heavy , and the maid quickly rushed to his side to handle him.

"Will talk about this later Rudhra you should rest" Fawad just walked out , and rushed straight to the car . The maids stared at him, and his messed up attire. His hands were bleeding from the side which he just wiped in his handkerchief.

He sat inside the car , and stared at his reflection in the small mirror . Opening the small box on the side of the car , he started to tidy up his own self . Brushed his hair , tidied up his shirt and tie .

Fawad came to the house , it was late at night . Almost all the maids were sleeping by this time . He expected Safia to be fast asleep too.

Tick

Tick

He stared at the wall clock .

3 : 45 am

'It's late' He sighed and walked towards the hallway , and went to drink water from the kitchen .

He poured down the water into his cup , and came into the living room to drink it . He was tired and sat on the couch , almost collapsing .

"You are back" Safia said coming from the side slowly. She was in her night dress , wearing her pink pajamas with a purple slipper pattern over it .

"You are awake?" He asked her , and she hummed , still feeling sleepy . She came towards him and sat beside him.

"You should have slept" he brushed her hair from her face , feeling all his worries vanish .
