Some people just voted dil pe pathar rakh ke lol😂

The world of little Nataliya Haider revolved around her doting mother, Shabnam and her much older friend, Kaif.

"See, it's twinkling" Nataliya clapped excitedly as Kaif opened his palms. There was a firefly on his hands.

Kaif chuckled at her eagerness to get hold of the little firefly. It was past 9 pm. Kaif just sneaked in the lawn to smoke a cigarette when Nataliya ruined his plan. He just started smoking cigarettes occasionally with his friends recently in the university. Now, suddenly he had the urge to smoke and no one in the house knew this new habit of him. His father would have been enraged to know it anyway.

"What's that?" Nataliya stood behind him and tried to see the thing in his hands. It was a fancy lighter gifted by one of his new friend.

"Fuck" Kaif muttered under his breath and hid the cigarette in his palm. She thankfully didn't see it.

"What's this?" She asked once again.

"It's nothing and what are you doing here?" He said strictly to her, that was the only way to distract her otherwise Kaif would have been in danger.

"It's boring inside" She pouted at the end.

"Go play watch cartoons" He pointed to the TV lounge.

"Uncle is watching news" She told him.

"You play with me" She hold his hand and requested innocently.

"Kahan phass gaya hoon" He muttered, putting the lighter in his pocket.

(Where I am stuck)

He was now sitting on the stairs in the lawn and she was standing in front of him. She was telling him a story from her school when he got distracted.

"No, listen to me" She held his face in her little hands and pointed it at her direction.

"I am listening" He smiled.

"No, you aren't liar pants!" She shook her head.

"Who told you this word?" He asked about the new word in her vocabulary.

"Asad's elder brother told him and he told us" She explained the whole chain.

"It's disrespectful to say that to an elder person and my Tali is a good girl. She doesn't disrespect her elders. Right!" He said to her.

She nodded her head.

"Don't this word again bache" He always tried his best to take care of her in every way.

The time was passing. Nataliya and Kaif was very close to each other. Life was good these days when suddenly after a year Kaif lost his parents in a car accident. His heart shattered into million pieces when he came to know about his parents passing.

When he had reached the hospital they had already been pronounced dead. After that day, Kaif had become silent and lonely. Shabnam ignored her own loss and tried to take care of him as best as she could but she couldn't replace his parents after all.

"Mama told me your parents went to the same place where my father is" Nataliya stood next to her who was sitting on the grass.

He nodded sadly, a tear rolled down on his cheeks.

"Aww don't cry. See I don't cry either!" She wrapped her arms around his neck and tried to provide him comfort.

He patted her arms and pressed his lips together harder to not cry in front of the kid. He removed her arms gently and stood up. His cheeks were covered in tears as he rushed to his room.
