Shehry's POV:

I laid in bed and just didn't feel like sleeping. Aah ! I just wanna spend some time with her.

I grab my phone from the table and text her.

Me: Yo, you awake? :/

I texted her but didn't get an answer. Hmm... must be asleep. But right when I was about to put my phone back in disappointment, it vibrates and I swipe across the screen to reveal a message from her.

Nida: Just by mistake, BY MISTAKE, I forgot to put my phone on SILENT today -_-

Me: Oh, sorry yaar :( You can go back to sleep :(

Nida: Dil da buaa khol mein andar aana chandiyaan ;) #JustPasswordAndNothingElse :P

Me: Hahaha :P

I mentally screamed a 'yes!' and bolted towards the door to reveal a Nida with her messy hair and blinking eyes. She looked....hot.

"Haan. Kia hai?" She lazed, leaning against the door frame.

I smirked and jolted her inside by her arm, shutting the door behind her.

Her eyes widened. "Mujhe tere iraade achay nahi lag rahay." She pulls her shawl closer to herself and I just stared at her face.

"Iraaday buray bhi ho, to kia?" I winked and her eyes almost popped out as she hurriedly turned around to open the door but I halted her midway, pulling her to myself.

"Chill, will you? Mujhe apni izzat ka khayaal hai." I smirked.

She laughed. "Acha? So now your izzat is more important than mine, huh?" She spoke naughtily.

"Teri ho ya meri, aik hi baat hai." I smiled and she hit my arm.

I let her go and she sits on the edge of the bed.

"So, why did you wake me?" She narrowed her eyes at me.

I went and sat down beside her. "I was bored, and couldn't sleep na."

"So?" She raised her eyebrows.

I smirked. "Talk me." I spoke Mary-um style, and she laughed.

"Okay, so what about?" She asks.

I sighed. "Well, larte marte rahay thay, to aik doosray ke baaray mein kuch jaan nahi paaye. I wanna explore you." I smiled at her and she looks down, smiling.

"Umm...okay. Where do I begin?"

"Family?" I suggest.

"Okay. So,it's just me, mom and dad." She says and I furrowed.

"And Sara?" I asked.

"She's adopted. But she's also a huge part of our family. She lost her parents in a car accident, when she was a baby. She...she was all curled up and safe in her dead mother's arms when mom and dad... found her." She begin weeping and my heart softened.

I turned her face to me and wiped off her tears with my thumbs and she gave a small smile.

"Were your parents there when....the accident took place?" I inquired, though reluctantly.

"Y...yeah. They were one of the passer-by cars and stopped to help the victims of the accident. And that's when they took charge of her after fulfilling her legal formalities. They raised her up eversince." She explains.

"Must be terrible having lost parents at such a young age. Her world must've fallen apart." I felt my voice become shaky too. I can never imagine not having my parents with me.
