Anabia's POV

I was sitting on the lawn with Bua as we were waiting for Uncle Afzal.
When the gentle, cool breeze touched my skin, I felt my eyelids got heavy.  Soon, I dozed off.

"Bia, wake up" I was in deep sleep when Bua shook my shoulder.  I opened my eyes and realized I was on the lawn.  I didn't say anything and ran towards my room as I couldn't compromise with my sleep. I hopped on the bed and again drifted into a deep slumber.

My eyes opened from the notification sound of my phone. I rubbed my eyes and looked at the phone. It was 3:40. I ran to the washroom and took a shower.

I offered tahajjud prayer and started reciting the Quran. After fajr azaan, I pursued my fajr(morning) prayer and walked towards the terrace.

The cool breeze hit my nostrils and I remembered last night I slept on the lawn without seeing Uncle Afzal.  I didn't eat last night and my stomach was grumbling.

I made my way towards the kitchen, Bua was already there, preparing breakfast.

"Asslamalaikm bua" I hugged her from behind.

"Walekumasslam,  how was the night?" She smiled at me making paratha.

"Did Uncle Afzal come? " I asked picking a bottle of water from the refrigerator.

"Yes, he is sleeping. You want breakfast?" She asked and I nodded.

After breakfast, I went to Dadoo's room. He was mumbling something maybe he was reciting any surah.

"Asslamalaikm dadoo" I cupped his cheeks and he opened his eyes and nodded his head.

"How is uncle Afzal,  sorry last night I dozed off. I was tired dadoo " I said and sat on his bed.

"He was asking for you " he returned me a genuine smile.

"Does he know me" I widened my eyes and he smiled again.

"He was the best friend of your dad "

"Bia" I was playing with my rings when he called me.

"Huh?" I looked at him.  His face was full of unknown thoughts.

"Can I ask you something?" He said in a pleaded tone and I shot him a fake glare.

"Dadoo, you're my life. You don't need to take permission from me. Just order and I'll follow it" I said with a genuine smile.

"Do you trust me Bia?" He asked again.

"Dadoo,  what's wrong with you?" I said annoyingly. He was strangely behaving.

"Okay, then listen to me. I've decided..." He was cut off by someone.

  A tall handsome figure appeared,  he was probably Uncle Afzal. I greeted him and he hugged me. I was surprised but didn't say anything.  They both started talking and I  went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for him.

After breakfast, he asked me to sit with them.

"You're so beautiful Bia, you have adopted all the features of Waqar" he focused his eyes on me and I was awkwardly staring at my palm.
