-For you,
I would cross the line, I would waste my time,
I would lose my mind
They say, "She's gone too far this time"

"Tumhe yeh chot kese lagi?"

Sohail's worried voice was heard as he hung up his phone on which he was speaking while walking inside house before his eyes fell on his daughter sitting in living room. She was watching tv. He noticed first aid band on her forehead. Shehnaaz's face turned pale what to tell him? She doesn't know. She didn't think about this as he was gone Lahore right after protest few days ago

"Wo dad college mein I fell down while playing badminton." She lied

"Did you go to hospital?" He sits beside her and examine her injury for second "It might be something serious since it's your head."

"It's not that serious." She assured. He takes sigh and nodded, turning his gaze on show she was watching and blankly stared at screen he must be stressed about protest. For them it went good which means worst for government. This was nothing in front of what they have actually planned. She kinda feels guilty for being involved. Looking from her perspective she can't help but feel like she has wronged her father

"Sab theek dad?"

"I don't know." He murmured to himself before looking at her "How's your study going? I don't want any lower grade not even just A. I want A* in all of your subjects." His voice turned stern

"Jee." Is all she said looking back at screen on wall with lips pressed together. They were sitting there in silence when Zain walked downstairs

"Asalam-o-alaikum dad." Zain greeted looking at them before his father stands up to leave towards his room murmuring Walaikumsalam to his son with nod

"Chalo Shehnaaz."

    Finally! She sprung out of couch with smile on her face. It's been few days since protest and she wasn't able to see Sidharth or talked to him now she finally is getting chance. She had this whole week think about his rejection which actually wasn't rejection. I mean, he didn't say anything nor he refused. She can still try and change his mind but what if he already like someone?? What he already was engaged. Possible because he's an Arab and they marry in early age. No if he were changed he would have said it or koi ring toh hoti in his finger

  You can do this Shehnaaz! She tells herself. He's man after all, he will give in someday if he likes her even a little bit and has no partner

    When they get there, everyone was so concerned about Shehnaaz they kept asking her if she's alright and her injury she was overwhelmed by their so much care. She could cry at moment but as thanks to afia who said something mean ruining her mood. She doesn't gets what her problem, why she's having so nasty towards her. She has done nothing to her and it is always her who starts arguing. Shehnaaz try to avoid because she doesn't want yet want Sidharth to think she's that orange cat who's always ready to jump on person who insults her

   Her world halt when she saw him making way tomorrow her dreamy, he was wearing white button up shirt and vest with black slacks. His hair done professionally like he's going somewhere or has came from formal meeting. She noticed how his eyes scan her injury as he stood in front of her with hand in his pocket he's looking at her! Her heart start pounding and breath seems to be stuck
