"Mamma! Baba!" Next day was Eid, everyone was busy preparing for that

"Ayat!" Ayat was shouting on the top of her lung that made everyone scared, they all went to her room, and found her crying on the floor

"Ayat! What happened?" Azlan picked her up and asked, instead she just show him her hair still crying, for the five years old, Ayat hair was long but now it was short, which reached just her shoulder

"How did this happened?" Khushnuma asked as she also went to her,

Everyone there was worried. Not for her hair but because how much she was crying

"I was sleeping.....then I woke up and.....and." crying Ayat said and hide face in Azlan's neck.

"Shhhh! It's okay. Calm down." Azlan put her head in the crook of his neck as he rubbed her back to make her stop crying

"But who did this?" Rubab asked the question which answer no one had

"He did this. Yeh humare balo ko gandi nazar se dekhte hain." Holding her hiccups, Ayat said, pointing at Hanan. Khushnuma looked at her son, and seeing his expression she understood he is indeed the one who did this.

(He looks at my hair with bad eyes.)

"Hanan, because of you I'll also get caught." Kabir was bitting his nail, they were sitting on the stairs of aangan

"Shut up Kabir! You are my friend, you should take my blame also on you." Hanan scold him, he was also worried, if any one find out it was them who cut Ayat's hair, their father will definitely kill them

Hanan just wanted to take revenge from her,

Revenge because yesterday he got scolded by Shahzain because of her

"But, it was your fault." Kabir couldn't understand why he should take Hanan's blame on himself. But Hanan didn't replied to him

"Ayat!" Kabir suddenly said when he saw Ayat coming toward them, Azlan has took her to salon to get her hair properly cut and bought her some chocolates so she will stopped crying,

"You were also with him." Placing her hands on her hips, Ayat asked Kabir. She didn't wanted to do anything with Hanan. But Kabir, he was her friend, how could he do this to her?

"Yes he was, after all he is my friend." Hanan got up and said, crossing his arms over his chest

"I'll not forgive you for ruining my hair." Now she gave all her attention to him. Wearing a red which was right now matching with her red face, full of anger. She was short in front of him that's why she had to hold her head high to look directly into his eyes

"Kar Kya logi tum?" Hanan challenged her

(What will you do?)

"Bohot kuch Kar lenge, bas apne waqt ka intezaar kariye." Taking the challenge she glanced at Kabir for the last time and left them

(I'll do lot of things just wait for your time.)

"Ayat!" Kabir was trying to pacify her, but Ayat only turned her face to the other side. The little girl was very angry at him.

He tried to bribe her by giving her chocolates, but she did not take it.

"Listen! I can help you to prank on Hanan." At last, Kabir announced, knowing this will melt her anger. And it did, Ayat looked at him with keen interest.
