Voice from the speakers of mosques were calling the people to come and pray.... Sun has still not risen..it was time of fajar.... A person in black kameez shalwar was praying... He was desperate while making Dua and was asking from his one and only lord almighty Allah.....

ARHAM SIKANDER Pov:
"Ya Allah main tujh say rehem ki bheek mangta hunn..sukooon mangta hun...mujh say yeh be sukooni,bechaini door kar day... Aye mere parwardigar,mere is bekarar ,zakhmi Dil ko karar day day.."
(Oh Allah I beg for mercy from you..for comfort from you...remove this discomfort and restlessness from me...oh my Lord give comfort to my heart)
While praying his eyes were closed and his cheeks were wet....he was broken...he wanted mending of his heart ,his mind,his soul...he just wanted peace in his life..

Author Pov:
Now if we leave Arham's room and from their go to the western side of Rawalpindi we reach in Mirza mansion which is standing with it's pride and glory....

Entering the mansion then going to the left and there comes the staircase...crossing it we reach to 2nd floor ..turning a right 3rd room on left side has its door open and a dim light is on....

An alarm rings and a girl is probably in her mid 20s wakes up to pray her namaz of fajr....she goes into the bathroom to freshen up then come later and lays the prayer mat on the floor and starts praying...after her namaz is finished she stands up and starts to recite Quran ... After about half an hour the gorgeous golden rays of sun peeks into the room and kiss her cheeks while she is reciting her holy book in her meledious voice....

ان مع العسر یسرا
(بے شک ہر مشکل کے ساتھ آسانی ہے)
(Translation: Verily, with hardship comes ease. Surah Ash-Sharh (The Relief) [94:6], Qur'an.
And a gorgeous smile makes its way on her face....

After reciting Quran she takes her clothes and enters her bathroom for a shower...About half an hour later she comes all freshen up...she gets her hair dried and leaves her room..

She goes downstairs and turns right to enter kitchen for her breakfast... She prepares herself a toast and coffee after she is done with her breakfast she gets a call...

Halay's pov:
I looked at the caller Id it was form Madiha one of my client who comes for her therapy as she is suffering from depression and anxiety..I attend the call..
"Aslam-o-Alaikum Madiha... How are you?ohh.... I will be there in just 20 mins...I hope it is not a big deal and you can handle it the way I told you.."
She hurriedly starts getting up and collect her things to leave for her hospital maybe as her patient is waiting..."very good..Madiha..I am proud of you..I knew it you can handle it on your own..I will be there.. ok byee Allah hafiz"

As she takes her car keys and is just about to exit...
"Halay beta..itni jaldi ja rahi ho AJ?"
(Halay daughter, you are going early today?)
"G ammi jaan... emergency hai"
(Yess mom..it's an emergency)
"Nashta kar liya?" (Had breakfast)
In hurrying she replies "gg kha liya..mai ja rahi hoo...APNA khayal rakhai aur baba ka bhi..Allah hafiz..fi Amanillah.."
(Yes I had breakfast...I am going..take care of yourself and father too...Allah hafiz)

And she exits the house....

Time skip..............

Inside the SIKANDER enterprises everybody is busy in their own gossips when everything goes silent and...only the sound of shoes tapping on floor can be heard.... He THE ARHAM SIKANDER entering his office like the king he is... His one hand on his buttons opening one of it of his blazer while he is walking hurriedly with his secretary(Sarah Imtiaz) who is informing him about the arrangements of the important meeting that is going to be held in about an hour.....

Female employees are fan of his style, personality and demeneour....He is handsome with broad shoulders...a well built body but not too bulky ...his eyes sharp glass like golden brown eyes that has no emotions in them or he has hidden them so well ...

He spares a single glance and while nodding his head replies to the greetings of his employees,enters his office.....

Arham's Pov
As I enter the office I see my mom their waiting for me...
"Aslam-o-Alaikum...mama you here?",
He said..."yes beta... Main a nae sakti apny betay say milny? "
(Yes son..can't I come to meet you?)
While entering he goes towards her and she stands up and hugs him with warmth and love....
"Ayain ayain jab AP ka Dil karay ayain. It's your office...take a seat"(come come...whenever you want you can)

He gestured her to take a seat after breaking the hug....and took steps to take his seat...and picked up the intercom to order coffee for his mother....

"Actually Arham I came to discuss about the girl I told you early about whom your dad is interested in for you",
His mother said

Listening to her instantly his expression became stern and he said with seriousness evident in his voice"we already discussed about this... I am not ready for a marriage now..mama..plz understand me"

"Beta kab tak aisay chalay ga... Meri baat maan lo..Dekho tumharay baad tumhari behen ki bhi Shaadi karni aur tum to Meri baatai mantai Thay... Kya ho gya tumhay beta.. mainay bohat ummedai lagai hai tumhari Shaadi ki.aisay na karo...is Tarah apny baba ka sar nicha karo gay"
(Son how long will you live like this...listen to me after you we have to get your sister married too..you always listened to me what has happened to you..I have many expectations for your marriage..don't be like this...you will embarrass your dad like this)

She said in a disappointed tone....

I felt guilty so thought to say yess.. and just meet her..I know she will reject me after the way I will behave with her...
"Ok mama... I agree..I will meet her but if she rejects me you won't propose any other girl for me.. okay??",he said In a demanding tone . She agreed nodding her head with a wide smile...

"Aslam -o-alaikum...g ammi...gg..theek hai jaldi a jao gi...ji kha liya Khana dopeher ka..ok bye.."(yes mom.yes yes .I am fine..ok I will come early..yes I have eaten lunch..)
She said and hunged up...

I went back to my cabin and got busy with my patient.... At about 4 pm I was free from here and decided to leave for home...

Timeskip..................

I reached and rang the bell..ammi jaan opened the door after greetings ... I went to room and freshen up...

Again he wanted to say something...
"Say it abbu ... I am listening" I said..
He cleared his throat and started speaking "beat I told u about Arham?"
"Yess .your that friend's son..what about him?""actually I like him for you and his parents has asked for your hand"...I first got shocked..the looked at my parents they both were looking at each other, contemplating maybe how would I react..."ok ok...I can meet him and then further things we will discuss "they both got instantly happy...."okay... I will ask about the day you both are meeting from his parents,is that okay?""it is absolutely fine ammi..I know you will choose the best for me"...I said and then stood up to leave as I was done with dinner.....
