"Tune bhi odh liya rang-e-zamaana aakhir,
Tujhe to zamaane se alag samjha tha..."

Next day, the sun started to rise and the birds started chirping at the trees but there voices were muffled due to the curtains covering the windows. Inaayat's eyes started to flutter at their own because it was usually time of her waking up. For the first time, she felt that she slept so peacefully because she didn't felt fear of Abhinendra barging inside her room.

She was still in her slumber that she didn't realize where she was. When she opened her eyes, her honey brown orbs met with an unfamiliar feeling. A slight confusion came upon her face. She blinked her eyes few times and then all the incidents from last night hit her like a truck. She immediately sat up on the bed with her eyes wide.

She looked around and saw Ryker still sitting at the couch while slight light passing through the curtains falling on him. His carribean blue gaze eyes were already on her but her oblivious, naive mind didn't think even for once that what if he was looking at her the whole night like this which was true. Since she slept, Ryker couldn't able to move his eyes away from her.

His gaze was noticing each and everything keenly. The rhythm of her breathing, her heaving chest up and down, slightly parted lips, he noticed each and everything with so much sharpness and patience that her image is stuck in his mind and he didn't know why he was looking at her whole night. It was obvious that he doesn't gets sleep due to his nightmares but why he chose to waste his time in noticing her was the question.

Inaayat immediately jumped down from the bed and moved the duvet away trying to check if she stained the mattress or not, which fortunately she didn't. Then she slowly lowered her head feeling bad thinking he didn't sleep because she was sleeping on his bed the whole night. She thought he was also disgusted by her that's why he didn't want to sleep beside her.

Inaayat didn't know what to say to him so without looking at him she ran out of his room with her heart beating at fast pace. Ryker also didn't stop her from leaving because he knew it must be awkward for her besides he didn't have anything to say to her. She reached to her room and immediately took out her clothes.

She entered inside the bathroom and saw her previous stained clothes with Ryker's expensive tuxedo with it. Her eyes widened because she didn't realize when she brought it there. She washed her clothes and then with uttermost care and delicacy she started washing Ryker's clothes. Then she also washed the new clothes she was wearing.

After done with all the washings she bathed herself. It took almost an hour to her in morning chores. Then she put all the wet clothes in her room only to dry because she wasn't allowed to dry them on terrace. She hanged all the clothes on the rope in her room and wearing her old torn clothes.

She sighed in relief because still no one was awake in the haveli so she started doing her daily chores. She started cleaning with everyone's room but today there was nervousness at her face. Nervousness of getting caught because if anyone will gets to know about last night's incidents she will be dead.

After cleaning all the corridors, rooms and other places she reached to Ryker's room with slight hesitation in her demeanor but nonetheless she had to do her work so with a soft knock at the door she gulped. Ryker opened the door for her and with her eyes at the floor she entered inside.

Without looking at him for even a bit she opened the curtains letting the light enter inside the room, because it was also her daily routine now, she started dusting all the things. Ryker was looking at her with his keen gaze which she tried to ignore. When she was cleaning she saw her mattress and blanket still in the corner which she clearly forgot.
