Hurrying downstairs, he shouted, "Mom, where is kinza?"

"Mom.. "

But Heena was offering nafl salah.

He rushed down the basement only to find an empty room.

"What happened?"Ghaffor asked rubbing his eyes and yawning, as Daniyal made his way to the living room.

Daniyal's anger flared up just at the mere sight of him. Striding over to him in long steps, he asked,

"Where is Kinza?"

"Am not her watchmen for your kind information!"Ghaffor said with a shrug.

"What did you do to her, huh?"Daniyal said closing his knuckles to prevent them from gripping Ghaffor's coller.

"I dont know. Maybe she ran away!"Ghaffor said with a smirk."after all she was forced to marry you!"

"You know I strongly believe in the saying that everything happens for a reason."Daniyal said as he cocked a grin.

"What are you talking about?"Ghaffor asked instilling himself on the sofa.

"If it weren't for you, we would not have got married in the first place, it was because of you that Ahsan uncle was forced to make this decision!"Daniyal said which boiled Ghaffor's anger.

"But you only married her for the money and her Abbu's properties,you were not even interested in her to begin with."

"Not the same thing again, Ghaffor."Daniyal said gritting his teeth and walked away before warning him to stay away from Kinza.

Daniyal went back to kinza's room, searching for her in the balcony. Suddenly he thought that she would be in the terrace,but it wasn't even five o clock.
As he climbed up the terrace, he felt relaxed and happy, seeing Kinza standing in solitude,
gazing at the disappearing stars.

He ambled over to her and engulfed her in a tight hug.

He just felt in peace.

Kinza was taken aback as she stood there simply, she could feel Daniyal's breathe lingering near her ear, which sent shivers down her spine and her breathings hitched, she could literally hear his fast beating heartbeat. She embraced him back after a few seconds.

"Where were you?"He whispered, hugging her even tighter, if that was even possible.

"I.. I..couldn't sleep!"

"I was really scared."Daniyal said moving back and cupping her face in his hands.

"Are you okay?"He asked, worry evident in his tone.

And she gave him a nod.

They stood there in a companionable silence, when Kinza broke the air.

"Uhmm.. Daniyal,"she hesitated before saying..

"Yeah.. "He asked looking into her eyes.

"Umm.. We weren't able to talk about the problem on the yesterday,"

"What.. what do you mean?"Daniyal asked his eyebrows creased.

"Remember why we even argued in the first place,"

"Oh yeah, because of that jerk!"Daniyal's jaw clenched, unintentionally.

"Yeah, Ghaffor bhai.. "Kinza trailed off.

"Umm.. he had texted me that you.. you were interested in some one else."

Daniyal's soft grip on her hand loosened and kinza couldn't help but mentally smack her head.
She shouldn't have said that but she wanted to clear everything.

What if he had wanted to marry someone else but he accepted it because of her abbu.

What if?

Though deep in her heart, she knew those what it's are not true.

"Kinza.. he is trying to create misunderstanding between us."Daniyal replied trying to keep himself calm.

He can't believe that they were having this conversation.

"I know.. I.. "Kinza stopped as the Fajr Adhan started.

She prayed after the adhan to Allah azza wa jal to making everything perfect.

No problems.

No misunderstanding.

No arguments.

Only trust.

And love.

As she turned to look at Daniyal, he was walking away.

Already.

"Daniyal.."She called but he didn't pay any heed to her.

"Where is Ghaffor?"He asked standing at the threshold of the room.

"Why?"Heena asked closing the Qur'an.

"Mom.."Daniyal's anger was at its highest peak.

"In the basement!"Heena answered resuming her work.

________

"Mom.. where is Daniyal?"Kinza asked.

"Why is everyone asking about someone or the other?"Heena said in a teasing tone. "Few minutes ago, He was searching for you and now you are asking for him, can't you both wait for one more day"

"Please mom.. "Kinza said shifting in her place.

"What, Let me tease you for one more day,"

"But I will tease her even after the rukhsati.." Said AbdulRahman uncle who had just came out after making ablution.

"What, why,.. no, I can't handle it."Kinza replied and stomped out of the room in a haste.

As She came out of the room, she saw Safina walking in a zombie state.

"Hey sleepyhead, you got up early?"Kinza asked as safina was not praying salah, as she was in her holiday.

You know what I mean, right?

And Safina didn't wake up this early if she wasn't supposed to offer salah.

"Yeah, congratulations, you are getting married."Safina said as she hugged Kinza.

"Am already married."Kinza said with a chuckle.

"Its your shukrana today, am
Very excited."Safina said breaking the hug.

"Did you see Daniyal?"Kinza asked ignoring her over-excitement.

"Oh wow Masha allah, your mehendi is turning much dark, ah ha.. bhaiyu loves you soooo much"

"Your mehendi is also dark, then who loves you soooo much, eh?"Kinza asked mimicking her.

"No one,"She said with a pout.

"Aww.. "Kinza couldn't help but pull her cheeks.

"Aye.. stop it, am not a kid."Safina smacked her hand.

"You are, by the way where is your bhaiyu?"

"I saw him waking over to basement!"Safina said and kinza nodded and left before she could start teasing her.

________

The sight that greeted her in the basement, shaked her whole body, and she was so shocked that she was neither able to do anything herself nor call anyone.

And the only thing that caught her attention was Blood!

Ya allah!
