She was staring in the mirror at her reflection while her best friend entered the room. With a loud joyful shriek she wrapped her arms around her neck. "Tashu! My darling, you look no less than a fairy landed straight from the heavens.”

Suddenly she noticed the dead silence in the room. “Zartasha you alright, babe?” She glanced at her face. It was pale and her puffy eyes were hidden in the layers of make up but still redness is prominent in them as she had been crying for hours.

“Zartasha! What happened ? Tell me why are you so quiet ? Are you not happy? Is there something wrong with the dress? Or the makeover is itching somewhere?”

She hastily asked too many questions. She looked at her pretty but somber face."Ommi..’ her lips quivered. “I…don’t feel like talking at all. Pp..please bring me a glass of water.” She held her hands tightly.

Umeyra felt the chills running down her spine due to her utterly cold hands and the way she was talking. She squeezed her hands a little ,nodded and left the room.

She stared at her hands covered in hina with blurry eyes and hid her face in her palms. She was crying like a kid again.

“Fuck you bastard. You should be here in 5 min or I’ll be parceling your carcass back to Islamabad in next 15min mind that.” “Roger!” Musa held back his laughter and replied in amusement. He threw himself on the sofa.

“Wait for me. Just a little more please, wait for me. I’ll be with you in no time. I am coming for you just hang on tight.” His stretched features are now getting relaxed as he closed his eyes.
