It is said that some things never change but perhaps the people who say that don't really know.

Definitely, everything changed in Tauhida's life.

Every minute of her life seemed new, not like the ones she used to live. It was like she was just born into the world and isn't herself anymore.

Everything was gradually making sense again, her life which turned against her was gradually turning to face her once again.

The four days she had spent with someone who was a stranger to her gave her a hope on what she didn't know.

He knew just how to make her forget everything even if it was for a split second. He knew her joy buttons and knew the exact rhythm for pressing them. He knew what to do and not do, he knew what to say and not say, he knew when to let her cry and he knew the words that could console her.

Sometimes she wondered if they had met earlier than then because he knew her too much for just few encounters.

What she didn't know is if a person loves you, then he knows every corner of your soul, the dark and bright cracks and all that made it.

Tauhida wouldn't complain, not about a single thing in her life.

She weirdly looked forward to their conversations everyday because he became her comfort zone in merely four days, she wouldn't wish for more.

Sitting in her room reading a book, Tauhida received a conference call from her squad.

"Hey there!!" Humaira said through the phone. "Prepare something nice for us" She added. "We are on our way insha Allah" Xeexee squealed making them to laugh while Tauhida smiled and she inhaled deeply enough to their hearing.

"We'll take that as an okay, buh bye" They said before disconnecting the call.

Tauhida's squad tend to give her such calls ever since she got married. They knew she wouldn't be able to reply them but also knew she loved the conversations they have whenever they have those conference calls.

And to ensure she knew they'd always be there, they tasked themselves to do the littlest things that meant her happiness.

Just after Tauhida dropped her phone back on the table, she heard a knock before the door jeered open, it was Sayf.

He moved forward into the room searching for only God knows what with his eyes, going corner by corner.

Tauhida kept the confused face while she looked at the person who was acting as if he owned the room. From what she knew, nothing of his was in the room.

She stood up and picked her phone before moving to where he was, she touched him by the shoulder making him to turn before showing him the screen.

"What may I ask, are you looking for?" It read.

"Never mind what I'm looking for, I just know it's somewhere here" Sayf replied and continued his searching.
