Ayena

Part 7

"This place is very crowded. So you all have to be very careful. Don't roam around alone." -Afaq advised the students.

As the students were moving together, the place started getting very crowded. Ayena had held Farsha's hand but due to the crowd Ayena got missed.

"Sir, Madam, Ayena, Ayena."- Farsha started shouting.

" What happened to Ayena?" Afaq asked.

"She is not with us. She is missing"- Farsha was crying

"You all go. I'll search for her and get back to you all." -Afaq ran as fast as he could.

"I'll come with you." Rizwan said. Both ran as fast as they could. They searched every possible place. But she was no where to be seen.

Afaq's heart was beating very fast. His mind was flooding with negative thoughts.

He searched her everywhere and gave her many calls. But she didn't pick up the call. He was tensed.

After walking for hours they reached a garden and there they found Ayena sitting on the bench. She was crying.

"Ayena!" -Rizwan and Afaq shouted.

Ayena ran towards Afaq and hugged him.

"I am scared. I am scared." - She was crying.

"Calm down Ayena. I am here, there is nothing to worry."- Afaq caressed her head. He broke the hug and made her sit on the bench. Rizwan got a water bottle and gave it to Ayena.

"How did you reach here?" Rizwan asked Ayena.

"My sandal broke and I fell down. Farsha's had held my hand tightly and because of the broken sandal I missed her hand. I walked and walked and reached here." Ayena stammered.

"OK, OK . now don't worry. Everything is fine. Take a deep breathe and calm down." Afaq held Ayena's hands.

Rizwan was astonished to see how caring Afaq was for Ayena.

"I am fine now."- Ayena whispered.

"Are you sure?" Afaq asked.

"Yes. Afaq leave my hand."- She whispered again.

" I am sorry." - he took his hand away.

"I'll get you a pair of sandals. Rizwan you wait here."- Afaq walked away quickly.

"Ayena, is he the same Afaq who married you to take revenge." asked Rizwan.

Ayena pursed her lips.

Afaq came back with a pair of sandals and made Ayena wear it.

"Are you comfortable now?"- He asked her softly.

" Yes"- she whispered.

"OK then let's go."- The three of them went.

"What are you thinking so deeply?"- Farsha shook Ayena who was lost in thoughts.

"Nothing."- Ayena pressed her eyes.

"Tell me na." Farsha insisted.
