”میرے ذہن سے ماضی کو مٹا دے یا رب۔ کمبخت نے میرا حال بے حال کردیا ہے۔“

["I'm not going to take care of you if you fall sick this time eating so much ice cream." He exclaimed crossing his arms over his chest.
"I'm not gonna come meet you either." She stayed unbothered.
"I'm not letting you be my friend anymore then." He scowled making an emotional attempt.
"I'm not gonna let you go to the rain when you're with me now." She kept enjoy her ice-cream ignoring his blabbing.
"I'm not gonna protect you from those mean classmates of yours then, fine." He threw his hands up in the air as it would affect her but it made her giggle instead.
"Not letting you have the last two sips of my coffee ever now, you watch." She stayed unaffected knowing he'd do it all for her without even her asking for it.
"I won't be able to pluck no more flowers for you now." He was leading to something serious she could feel it as the moments of her hands slowed down somehow.
"I'll leave Pakistan zim-"]
She got up hurriedly as if someone electrocuted her, as if somebody was taking her soul out of her body, as if somebody was choking her with their bare hands. She could feel the fright seeping through every bone and vein making her blood cold. She couldn't breathe. Her hands started shivering as the numbness took over being entire being.
She poured some water in the glass sitting on her side table, with those shivering hands she chugged the water in. It took her some time to realize that she was dreaming. She was not in her senses still. She wanted to wake up her nano but didn't have the heart to bother her again. She often faced petrifying situations like these all alone and it was scary.
She got up to pray namaz and she could feel her nerves setting at peace now. She laid down on the prayer matt pouring her heart to the one who she knew would understand her. She talked to Allah about a lot of things and didn't sleep after that. Just when a conversation she had some years back with nano hit her mind in which she told her about the dreams of the dawn being real and coming true. She knew the truth of her dream already if she didn't it wouldn't have scared her so much. Only if she knew the outcome of her dream too...

She decided to leave early today so she wouldn't be able to face her grandmother. She didn't wake her up but texted her before leaving so that she doesn't panic much. She wanted to face no one right now. She even forgot to have breakfast. She was constantly over thinking on the way so she texted Rumi to see her at the cafe in an hour or two and she was there.
