Irrevocably In Love

"You will not attain to piety until you spend of that which you love."

"O believer give of what We have provided for you ."

[Qur'an- Surah Al-Baqara, 254]

The sun rose in a pool of crimson and golden, spilling the light all over the land of London. Spring season is one of the most beautiful season experienced by the Londoners. London comes out of semi hibernation in spring and offers a wonderful array of events to people. The city parks green and blooming. The birds chirping. The teenage commuting around the place. The elders having a gala time while having a walk in the beautiful weather.

But in this spring weather where everyone were enjoying their time, there was one person who was groaning and it was none other than Rehan Shaikh. He looked at the clock and sighed. It was 10 in the morning and he had no idea what he would be doing the rest of the day.

It's been a month here since he is living in London, but still he wasn't used to the lifestyle. Living alone in such a mansion that made him feel lonely wasn't his thing and that was the reason he used to live in a 2 bedroom house in India.

The project that he was working was going smoothly and by far was successful but he still hadn't met the owner of the company because the man was on leave with his family enjoying holiday while he was away from his family and friends.

Oh how he wished they were here!

He missed everyone. He missed Saif, he now wished to be with him enjoying his life. He missed Rida, who now had become a big part of his life. He missed everyone.

His phone beeped indicating an incoming call. He looked at the call and couldn't help but grin.

"Assalamualaikum soon to be father!" He exclaimed excited while he heard a groan from the other end.

"How did you come to know?" Saif asked looking his wife who was busy talking to her best friend, and Rehan chuckled before smirking.

"I have my sources." He said in Saif's tone making him laugh, and Saif glanced Rida's way shaking his head at this girl.

She was way too fast.

"And I know your source's name, she is infront of me." He said his eyes shifting from Safa to Rida and back to Safa, who now was giggling and Rehan couldn't help but grin.

Rehan was on ninth cloud when Rida had informed about him being soon to be chachu. He knew saif never did had any kind of father's love in his life and he knew his best friend would be the best father and he could already feel it in his voice, what expressed nothing but happiness. And a little bit of fear too.

"So how are you?" Rehan asked knowing well how saif would be feeling at the moment.

Even though both were miles away, Rehan understood Saif like the back of his hand. They almost had their entire childhood together and that was a huge reason that Rehan understood him, but this was his hidden talent, he understood everyone just by hearing their voice or just by their body language.

"I'm scared." He whispered and Rehan did not utter any words letting saif to confide in his worries.

Saif looked at the both the girls, who were engrossed in their talk. He moved a little ahead to not them by any chance hear him confiding in his worries. He knew he could trust Rehan with his life and he knew Rehan would never judge him. That was the last thing he would do!
