Ayena

Part 16

The rays of the sun fell on Afaq's face disturbing his sleep. As he opened his eyes, he saw Ayena. He thought it was a dream and said," You look beautiful even in my dreams Ayena."

Ayena smiled at him and sat near him caressing his hairs. Afaq kept his head on her lap.

"You know what I always thought I hated you but the truth is I fell in love with you the day I saw you for the first time. You had been to our house when you were 15. Do you remember? You wore a navy blue colour anarkali dress. You looked like an angel." Afaq caressed her cheeks.

He again said," I cannot live without you but will you accept me after knowing the truth?"

Ayena nodded her head and kissed him on his forehead. Afaq was taken aback. He again touched her face and was shocked. It wasn't a dream. Ayena was really in front of him!

"What are you doing here?" Afaq pushed her.

" This is my house. I don't need your permission to come here." Ayena said.

"How did you know that I am here?" Afaq asked.

Ayena pointed towards the wind chime.

Flashback

A month back, Ayena and afaq had been to a local fair. Ayena liked this wind chime a lot and bought it. But afaq didn't like it much. He used to get irritated by its sound.

"Ayena please remove it yaar.its so irritating." Afaq started complaining like a small child.

Ayena pouted," Do you even know the value to a wind chime?".

Afaq raised his brows. Ayena said,"When the wind blows the wind chime creates melodious sound. Our life is also like that. There maybe problems, obstacles and difficulties just like the wind. But when it comes into our life we gain a lot. We become stronger than before. Our life becomes meaningful and melodious. "

Afaq was surprised by hearing her. Indeed she was right.

"Yesterday when you called me I heard the sound of the wind chime that's how I came to know that you are back home." Ayena got up and dusted her dress.
