Not knowing what was happening, Rehan started to feel suffocated in that room, looking at Gul, He turned, and had only taken a few steps outside when the call of gul stopped his steps.

He looked back, Gul was struggling to took hold of her dress, She was trying to get out of the things lying on the ground,

" That's when, her worried eyes found Rehan's hand in front of her, he offered his help because he wanted to get out of here as soon as possible,

Poetry :

 " There is only one desire,
May my hand be in your hand."

"Gul squealingly puts her hand in his, holding the dress in one hand, she was slowly getting closer to him, at last they both had reached the door,

As she opened the door of the store, Rehan let go of her hand,

He was going down the stairs, that the voice of the gul stopped his steps once again,

"Listen! Thank you!" Gul's soft voice reached Rehan's ears,

Rehan nodded in agreement, As if he had accepted his thanks, he quickly went down the stairs.

He was going down the stairs, when Hisham was coming from the front, Rehan closed his eyes as he mourned,

" Rehan!...where..." Hisham stopped,

holding food in hand, He was surprised to see  him coming down the stairs.

"Where are you coming fro...., He was still talking when the girl coming down the stairs startled him,

Gul was shocked to see both of them, looking at both of them, she tried ran away, limphing,

Blinking, he was looking at him with searching eyes,

"What? why are you looking at me like that!?"

Rehan was annoyed,

"Who was that girl and what were she doing upstairs?"

He narrowed his eyes,

"How would I know?!" he said carelessly.

"Well?" He kept the plate and juice on the table and turned towards him.

"Okay you don't know about her, but you can tell me what you were doing upstairs!?"

He folded both arms on his chest as if investigating.

"When did I go upstairs?" he feigned surprise.

"No need to be too smart. I saw you coming down the stairs myself."

"Yes... Ahh..., " he was saying while rubbing his forehead with his fingers.

"I...I was getting sick, so I was walking up and down the stairs. "

"Walking WHAT?"

"Shut up man! My head is already exploding with pain." He was now getting irritated by Hisham's questions.

Taking a deep breath he started going towards the room.

"Hey! your food? " Hisham said from behind,

"Eat youself!" He went away speaking out of disgust.
