How I Found You

Chapter 3

His eyes got opened by the Fajr azaan,he was still feeling restless and found Shanaya's pic there.

Without understanding what to do he went to the balcony,even the gentle breeze wasn't doing anything good.
"I have to clear it to her otherwise,I don't want her to think something else otherwise I won't find peace",he thought and thought and finally decided to go.

The time he came before her door, he heard her voice, she was reciting the holy Quran. He kept on listening and listening, didn't even realize how that recitation calmed him down. He came to his sense when he found someone was calling his name,"Everything alright? Aunty is fine right?",he remembered why he came here in the first place. "Hmm,yeah she's fine(he found her staring at him with a questionable look) Oh actually I'll be leaving early today and Mom is sleeping so thought of informing you", he left immediately and Azka was once again surprised by his action.

At his room...

He was getting flashbacks of what Shanaya used to say about the holy Quran and how today his whole restlessness got calmed down, Shanaya used to recite daily but why didn't he feel anything at that time, was his heart closed at that time? Azka's face came in front of his eyes, her in white hijab,he quickly closed his eyes and sat on the bed.
"What's happening to me? I just wanted to rectify all my past misbehaving,am I getting attached to her?",his eyes were getting too heavy to keep open.

"He said that he'll leave early today" "But Samra was saying that Azlaan didn't go for his office today",aunty was asking Azka and she wasn't understanding what was happening exactly.
"Aunty,don't worry I'll go and check" "Please Azka,go and check,he never does this",aunty was in full panic mood, "Aunty aunty relax,we don't feel like following the same routine everyday you know,nothing to get worried about,I'm going,you just relax,okay",she took her hand in hers and said.

She was about to knock but found the door open,still she knocked and called his name but no response was coming,she called again but nothing.
So she decided to go inside and found Azlan sleeping,his bed was not in an organized state and just beside his hand there was Shanaya's photo.

"Ya Allah, I hope he's fine (she again tried to wake him up by calling but no response)Azlaan Saab (she touched his shoulder with much hesitation and got shocked as he was having fever, the temperature was so high that even by a slight touch she was understanding,she touched his forehead and that's it he was having a high fever)Oh no,I've find the thermometer",she was about to go but Azlaan hold her hand,"Shanaya,don't leave,Shanaya,trust me,Shanaya",he was talking in this high fever and Azka looked at the photo which was lying beside Azlaan,she slowly removed his grip and found the first aid box in the drawer,there's the thermometer.
