Ali hum kahan ja rahe hain?

Mariam asked to Ali who had held her hand tightly as they walked to a river with great difficulty. The river,s water had turned bright red.

Humare paas Sirf 72 ghante hain sabko bachane ke liye.

Ali said and Mariam held her breath. Ali felt it and rubbed her back. She breathed.

Ali took some drops of the bright red water and sprinkled it on a beautiful tree. Soon a shiny golden door appeared. The door opened.

Ali looked at Mariam and pulled her close and held her hand . The wind was still blowing at a thunderous pace. Some huge trees fell on the ground. Ali looked at Mariam with love filled eyes to which he was himself unaware off. He cupped her face. She looked at him with fear laced eyes and shook her head sideways.

Nahin.

She whispered. She couldn't afford to loose him again.

He smiled and wiped her tears.

Nahin Ali.

Mariam whispered and held his hand tightly and rushed inside the magical world.

The door closed. Ali looked at her in shock. Unable to stable themselves they fell on the ground with Ali on top of her. They were lost into each other,s eyes. Their breaths were uneven.

Raaz aankhen Teri
Sab bayan kar rahi
Sun Raha Dil Teri khamoshiyan

They both stood up.

Yeh kya tha shehzadi Mariam aap janti nahin hain kitna khatra hai yahan per.

Ali wanted to say more but she shushed him by keeping her finger on his lips. He shivered. She smiled and cupped his face with her hands. His breath got stuck in his throat. Ali was shocked by his own reactions. Why was he reacting this way in front of her? Why his heartbeat doubled everytime she touched him? He wondered.

Kuch kaho na sonu
Paas mere raho
Yeh ishq ki kaisi hai yeh gehraiyan

Hum aapko akele nahin chod sakte Ali?

Mariam whispered still holding his face in her palms.

MARIAM!!!

Ali screamed as she was harshly pulled back by some not so humans into the dark jungle.

They were covered with black clothes from head to toe with axe in their hands. Ali ran after them.

Ho na ho yeh wohi rakh jin ki toli hai.

Ali thought. He chanted something under his breath and breathed out.

Aaaaaahhh!!!!

Mariam screamed out in horror as she flew up in the air towards Ali. Her breath got stuck in her throat. She started to come down. Her feet touched the ground. Her legs were shaking badly.

Unable to stabilize herself, she was about to fall but Ali held her keeping his hand on her lower back and pulled her closer. She was still holding her breath.

Mariam.

Ali called her out softly. He rubbed her back to which she finally breathed out. He breathed in relief. He looked at the creatures with fire laced eyes. The creatures and Ali chanted some spells. 2 huge fire balls were formed. 1 ball was coming towards Ali while the other one was going towards the toli. Ali held Mariam,s hand tightly and they ran to save their lives while a huge explosion took place.

They rushed deep into the jungle and stopped near a fount.

Ahhh!

Mariam yelped feeling something prick into her skin.

Kya hua?

Ali asked worriedly.

Kuch nahin bas aisa laga ke kuch chubha.

Mariam said slowly.

Ali sat down and held her foot. He touched it careful enough to not to hurt her. He found a thorn pricked into her skin.

Yeh toh kanta hai.

Ali whispered. He slowly brushed his fingers over her feet. Mariam closed her eyes and held her breath. Her heart raced. She fisted her hands. He carefully took out the thorn from her other foot.

Ho gaya.

Ali said in a hushed voice. Mariam opened her eyes and breathed deeply. They looked at each other. Moonlight shined over them. He grasped her wrist. Her breath hitched. Her cheeks turned warm. He stroked her warmed cheek with his fingers. She closed her eyes and breathed leaning into his soft and gentle touch with her heart beating loudly against her chest as a smile adorned her lips. He looked at her eyes which were closed and then his eyes moved towards her parted lips. He leaned closer and slowly placed a soft kiss over her forehead. Mariam closed her eyes. Her heart raced. She held his shirt in her tight fist. He pulled away and she opened her eyes upon not feeling his soft lips over her forehead.

Sab theek hai.

Ali said, his voice was extra soft. He tore a piece of his cloth and dipped it in the water and cleaned her wound. The wound healed within seconds. Mariam closed her eyes feeling the cold water on her foot.

Once he was done, he stood up and made an Ivory circle around Mariam and himself.

Yeh kya kar rahe hain aap Ali?

Mariam asked.

Hathi hathi dant ka dayra bana raha hoon Mariam. Isme koi bhi buri taqat nahin aa payegi humare paas.

Ali said. Mariam just hummed in response.

He walked to her and looked at her. He smiled at her. She was looking so peaceful and innocent while sleeping, but her neck will pain in the morning. With this thought he pulled her close to himself and hugged her and chanted some spells. 2 quilt appeared. He wrapped 1 quilt over themselves. She smiled feeling warm. He also smiled and laid down over the other quilt.

Ali,s Point Of View

Yeh Kya ho gaya tha mujhe? Kyun shehzadi Mariam ke liye yeh sab mehsoos ker raha hoon main? Yeh kaisa ehsaas hai mere Khuda? Kya main shehzadi Mariam se mohabbat karne laga hoon? Per filhal abhi yeh sab baton ka waqt nahin hai abhi sabse pehle Kabul ke logon ko theek karna hai

Ali,s Point Of View Ends.

With these thoughts in his mind, he finally slept. Mariam opened her eyes and looked at his sleeping figure lovingly.

Mariam's Point Of View

Aap ko pyaar toh ho gaya hai humse, bas ehsaas nahin hua hai. Per fikr mat kijiye aapko ehsaas bhi bahot jaldi ho jayega. Per filhal yeh inn baton ka waqt nahin hai sabse pehle Kabul ke logon ko theek karna hai.

Mariam's Point Of View Ends.

With these thoughts, she finally slept but not before interlocking their little fingers together.
