"Proud of you meri Jaan." Azlan said kissing her temple and taking it from her and inspecting it.

"Azaina shoe laces tie karo, abhi girke bhi samjh nahi aaya na." He scolded. She looked at him sheepishly and he raised his eyebrows.

"Aata nahi hai." She said slowly embarrassed. He pinched the bridge of his nose and the next thing he did was something noone was expecting. The great Azlan Ahmad got on his knees and tied her laces.

"Aaj toh tum apne bhaiya ko unko ghutno tak le aai." Ahzam teased.

"Quiet." Azlan said.

"Atta girl." Ahzam came throwing her in the air.

"Waah bhai Kamal kar diya tumne toh." Ahaan friends high fived Azaina.

"Azaina isse milo, he's Yazaan my best friend." Zaviyan introduced him.

"Hi." She said. He was kinda cute.

"Hello, you did really great." He complimented and she blushed.

"Aaj bahir dinner karne jaenge at 8pm." Dadu said and everyone nodded.

"Ahzam aap bhi invited ho." He told him.

"Ji Dadu hamari princess ki celebration hai hum toh zaroor aaenge." Ahzam said and they all left to their respective cars.

"Bhaiya icecream." Azaina asked Azlan as he was driving.

"Konsi?" He asked with the same excitement level even knowing her favourite flavour.

"Chocolate." She replied and they had their icecreams and Azaina slept on their way to the home. Azlan picked her up and layed her down in her room.

"Ahaan Aahil se kaho iske bandaid krde infection na ho jae." He ordered Ahaan. In a few minutes Aahil came with his supplies.

"Bhaiya yeh kahin uth na jae kyunki jalega." Aahil said.

"Koi baat nahi I will take care of her." Azlan said taking Azaina on his lap cuddling her on his chest and rocking her back and forth so that she doesn't wake up. Aahil started disinfecting her elbows and Azaina hissed in her sleep.

"Shh shh." Azlan lulled her back in sleep and Aahil carefully cleaned her knees too. He slowly moved towards her head and she woke up as soon as the cotton made contact with her skin.

"Bhaiii." She said.

"Bas hogya hogya." Aahil coaxed her and tried reaching back on her head with the disinfectant however she immediately held his hand. She had quite the reflexes.

"Jal Raha hai bhaiya." She complained to Azlan as tears gathered inside her eyes.

"Bas bhaiya ki jaan bas hogya." He said cradling her but gave a look to Ahaan and before she know what was happening Ahaan grabbed Azaina's hand while Aahil tried cleaning.

"Bhaiya jal raha hai." She said thrashing crying bitterly.

"Azu bhaiya ki brave girl hai, hai na princess? Aapko toh bilkul darr nahi lagta." Azlan kept asking questions to her.

"Aaahhh lagi bhaiya." She said crying hysterically.

"I know I know bas hogya." Azlan said when Aahil was done.

"Azu toh bohot brave hai." Aahil said kissing her once he was done.

"Chalo shower lelo fir soo jaana." Azlan said wiping her tears.

"Nahi Pehle soona hai, I am tired." She said sleepily.

"Achha change toh krlo." Azlan said to her but she only shooked her head in response. He carefully laid her down and removed her shoes. He opened her hair removing the band and clips and tucked her in.
