Ilham's P. O. V
''''
Birds were praising Almighty in their melodious voice, leaves swayed with happiness and sun peaked out of the clouds.

During all this, in a beautiful garden that was on roof top, a young couple sat. In different benches across each other with suitable distance between them.

There was silence between them. Ilham had so many things to say, but it was like his tongue didn't know how to form words.

He looked up after taking a deep breath and he felt deep ache as he looked at the emotionless look on Hana's face. She was looking at with blank look in her eyes and no emotion on her face.

Ilham felt the ache going deeper.

Did he do the wrong thing?

Did she hate him?

All these thoughts wandered in his mind until Hana started laughing, her joyous laughter echoed in the background.

All that pain, he felt seconds ago disappeared as he heard the melodious sound, and unconsciously a small smile formed on his lips. He liked that sound very much.

"You scared me", he chuckled, he realized that Hana was just teasing him .

"I am sorry, I am really sorry", she said between her laugh, "but you didn't say anything so this idea popped in my mind".

Ilham shook his head with a beautiful small smile on his face.

When she sobered up, she realized something and started to ramble,
"I am sorry I didn't mean to hurt you. That was an awkward silence and I wanted to break the ice. I didn't mean to_"

Ilham cut her off with a small chuckle in his deep husky voice, as he said,

"No, thank you for that. I am feeling less nervous now."

"You were nervous?"

"Yeah..."

"Why were you nervous to talk to your Hayati?"

This caused Ilham's head to snap up. He was shocked, that would be an understatement. He looked at her with wide eyes and his heart beat was unnaturally going faster.
