How I Found You

Chapter 5

"Bhabhi,I was so busy these days how could I have attended his call?" "Azka listen,you didn't sign for this service right?I don't want to hear anything else,just come back" "Okay okay,chill Bhabhi,I'll come soon but this is not the time,the condition is not like this here,some days are needed please understand and I promise I'll call him today,okay?I'll call you later,Allah Hafez"

Azlan was searching for a file for the business record but instead of getting that he found Azka's diary which she brought to his office after her degree completion.
He kept on looking at the diary and the flashback of that day was coming in front of his eyes.

"What did she write here?" thinking so he opened the diary.

"I've told you Zain,some days are needed here,I can't tell her now,this will affect her health,even you're a doctor Zain" "Okay fine but try to do everything quickly,this is getting messy" "I'm trying,anyways Zain I'll call you later",she cut the call and laid down,yeah Zain was right everything was getting messy,too messy.

"Sir won't you go home?",he came out of his thoughts,"Yeah,do inform the driver please"

He was thinking about Azka's writing,how she wrote about her happiness,her thankfulness,the thing which hit him was her strong faith which she had on Allah,her every line were describing in whatever situation she would have been, she never lost faith, even Professor Rahman was saying the same thing to him the other day when he went to meet him.
"Sir your phone",driver said "Hmm?oh",he saw that there was 10 missed calls,he called back,"Hello" "Assalamu A'laikum Azlan Saab,aunty was asking about when will you come?" "Wa'alaikumussalam,I...I'm coming,she's still awake?" "No,she's just slept" "Okay" "Allah Hafez",she cut the call.

When he reached home, he found Azka walking around the garden and he remembered how in this same garden he once shouted at her but the impressing thing was that she was never timid,always so straightforward.

"You're still awake?" "Oh you've come",she stopped,"Samra went home so here's no one else.." "You shouldn't have to do it" "You should come inside and have dinner,then I'll go for sleep",she looked at him but he didn't trace any expression there,she's so reserved most of the time that he didn't get to know what was in her mind,both of them started walking towards the house.

He was once again reading her diary,he didn't understand how that diary was giving him so much comfort.

Azka woke up as the alarm was ringing, it still had time for the Fajr Azaan still she thought of making the odhu,till she's done with the odhu,she heard the azaan.

At Azlan's room....

He put the alarm,yes he decided that he would be praying 5 times salah from now.
When he opened the book which Professor Rahman gave him,he realized that it would be better if someone would personally teach him the prayer,yeah he could ask Professor Rahman but at that time he thought he wouldn't need help.

______________________________________

When she was about to start the prayer, there was a knock.

"Who'll be here at this time?I hope aunty is fine",thinking this she opened the door and find Azlan standing there and she remembered how he was standing there some days before in Fajr time but this time he had prayer mat with him.

"Yes?" "Actually...umm I thought of praying Fajr",he found Azka was looking at him with a questionable look so he kept on saying,"And...I've looked at the details even Mom taught me in childhood but you know....I didn't pray in all these years so (he looked down and again started)I don't remember how to pray,if you could help me(he was still looking down)",there she was looking at him with a slight smile in her face, "Come inside".
