Since Manha's family was staying at Sehrish's home, it had been amazing for them. Life really seemed beautiful. Late night snacks, movies and what not. They used to tease and protect each other just like siblings.
Mr. Ahad is a really great man, kind, generous and a huge hearted man and the same was the case with Mr. Saif except he was a bit preotective towards her daughters. Just like every dad is :) You know that moment when everything is going all perfect and everyone is happy and you start wishing that these moments stay forever..yeah right, that's just what Manha was wishing for until Mr. Ahad received a call from his office saying that there is an emergency and he had to report within 48 hours. That's when Manha ran towards the bathroom and burst into silent sobs. As Manha only had brothers it effected her more. She loved to receive the affection and care from Sehrish and her sisters. She was a sensitive girl you see.
When the time came for Manha's family to leave for Dubai. Manha just couldn't speak much with Sehrish, afraid that she might cry again. All Manha could mange to say was - "Nothing's gonna change, we will be back soon In sha Allah (If Allah wills). The sad goodbyes were said and with that a little part of Sehrish also went.

*Manha's POV*
I just can't believe that the days we spent together went so fast and I wasn't even ready for goodbyes yet. I just wish I could spend more time with Sehrish. I had so much to speak to her and share so much. I just hope that I see her again. I prayed my Fajr prayer and before sleeping I made Dua that may Allah keep our families happy and together always.
*6 months later*
They all met up again but not because they were on a vacation or something but because it was Faiza's wedding. Manha's family decided to stay at Sehrish's home until the wedding was over. During the wedding Manha and Sehrish had a lot of time to spend together and they were thankful for it.
*Sehrish's POV*
As I was walking towards my room and thinking about all the stuff that Manha and I did in our last meeting and how they had to leave so soon. I was smiling at the fact Allah gave us another few days for us to be in each other's company...until I hit something hard *ouch* I soon realized that it wasn't "something" that I hit it was "someone" It was Adam. Ya Allah! I couldn't say something but it really did hurt :| He said a shy sorry..I could notice how he was becoming nervous so, I managed to mumble an okay and ran towards my room. I also noticed that since Adam came here he's been really nervous around me. Today morning as I was on the breakfast table sitting across him and just as I looked at him he spilled all the water on himself. Manha and I couldn't control the laughter and started to laugh. He just got up and went towards the guest room. This evening too, after we finished our dinner he was going towards the living room doing something on his phone suddenly just as he saw me, he dropped his phone. I wonder why he gets so nervous.
*Adam's POV*
Ya Allah! Why am I so silly and careless. I felt so stupid thinking of how i managed to embarass myself infront of Sehrish. In the morning, where i spilled water all over myself, after dinner when i dropped my phone just as I saw her and just now when I bumped into her. At that moment a got a complete glance of her. She was beautiful, Masha'Allah *I shouldn't be thinking all that.*
I wonder if she's alright. She must be thinking that I am such a careless person. Tomorrow I will ask her if she's okay. But what if I do silly stuff again? Ya Rabb she's going to think that I'm stupid. But I still have to ask her.
I told myself that I will decide tomorrow to ask Sehrish if she's alright or not. I hoped she was okay. And with that I slept in no time.
*NEXT DAY FAJR TIME*
After performing the prayer as everyone went back to their to catch some more sleep Adam saw Sehrish going back as well. When suddenly he called her name and she froze all of a sudden but quickly turned around to see who it was calling her name. She started to wonder what he was gonna say. He stood a few steps away from her wanted to say something.
*Sehrish's POV*
I was very tired and just wanted to sleep more. Just as I was heading towards my room, I heard someone calling my name. I quickly recognised that voice from the previous night when I bumped into him. Yes it was Adam. I wonder what he wants? He started walking towards me and I breathed heavily as if it was a very difficult thing to do. Anyways, he stopped a few steps away from me and was trying to say something. But it was as if he was talking to his ownself.
I wanted him to speak more clearly but, I was waiting for him to finish. Just as he finished, he looked at as if wanting an answer. The only thing I managed to say was "What? I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you." Just as he was about to speak again Manha started yelling my name. I turned towards from where the voice was coming and then bakc to Adam told him "Sorry, we'll talk later." With that I rushed to Manha. In a worrisome tone I asked her "Yeah, what's wrong?" and all she said was "Could you please switch off the lights, I want sleep." I gave her a death glare and she gave me a cheeky grin in return.
*Adam's POV*
I'll never be able to ask her now if she's alright. How could I be so dumb? -_- I just said everything to myself and now she might be thinking I'm the stupidest person alive. Only if I had spoken loudly. Ya Allah! Help me get through this :|
I still have a chance I can talk to her after breakfast. Yes I'll just do that. As these thoughts were storming in my brain, before I could even realize it was breakfast time. I just prayed that I don't ruin the chance this time. I saw her going towards the garden with my sister. After 5 minutes I went towards the garden and saw Sehrish sitting with Manha. She looked so beautiful, the sun hitting her skin and making it glow, the way she was laughing with my sister, she seemed so innocent and fragile. *What am I doing? I shouldn't be thinking about her in this way.* I thought to myself that I would say whatever I had to say to her without looking at her and just leave in a few minutes. I went towards them and looking towards Manha I said "Manha, mom is looking for you. You should go and check if she needs anything." After listening to that my sister asked Sehrish if she was coming.
Great! My sister will never give me a chance to be alone with Sehrish -_- But thank goodness, Sehrish told her "Yeah, you go ahead. I'll just be there."
As soon as my sister left, I asked Sehrish "Are you okay? Did you get hurt from bumping into me the last night?"
Nice choice of words! It was your fault even if she got hurt.
I was brought back to my senses just as Sehrish started to speak and said "Yes, Alhamdulillah I'm fine and no I didn't get hurt at all." She let out a soft giggle and it made me grin widely. I bet I was looking like a monkey doing that. I then somehow managed to say "Alhamdulillah, I'm glad and I am sorry again."
She then said "Its okay. I must go now or else Manha will start to yell again." We both laughed a little at that and with that she went back inside the house.
I'm sorry if this is a short chapter but I'm trying.
