I love you dear sis, for the sake of Allah :)
The beautiful season of Spring also known as the Queen of all seasons was slowly preparing for her departure. Her charming & enchanting aura seemed to cease each passing day & the bright warm coat of summer was about to take over.
The month of April had just started a few days ago & it symbolised the slow fading of the spring & beginning of the summer.
The pleasant morning sun was smiling brightly at the busy & engrossed working folks in the glamorous city of Mumbai who hardly had time to take notice of any seasonal transformation. Be it the gorgeous spring or the scorching summer to them all days were the same except when the heavy rains would seek their attention by interrupting the normal work schedule!
In a certain area in the city; a well known IT company was bustling with work & activity as it was the start of another hectic day.Most people had reached the office on time, some were caught up in traffic while a few indolent ones were still resting at home!
In one of the spacious cabins, a stern, young corporate was sitting infront of his computer screens with a deep frown on his handsome face.
Being the punctual person that he was he had arrived on time in fact a little earlier to his office.
However his new trainees hadn't yet shown up & the fact that he had been waiting for them for the past half an hour only proved to elevate his grumpiness! He was already in a snappy mood these days plus this careless behaviour of his trainees was getting on his nerves. The moment he got to see their blessed faces this morning, he was determined to give them a piece of his mind!
Trying hard to contain his anger he kept his focus on the screen; the frown never leaving his handsome face. Just as his fingers moved speedily along the keyboard his cellphone buzzed all of a sudden startling him a bit.
Which poor being dared to call him this early in the morning?
He stopped his fingers mid air from typing further & instead picked up his cellphone that he had kept nearby on the table.
It was an international call from an unknown number which only augmented his determination to snap at whoever the poor being was!
"Assalamualaikum Afzal uncle", A familiar ,cheery little voice greeted as soon as he swiped the screen & put it to his ear.
The frown that had etched on his face since morning all of a sudden disappeared as if it hadn't been there in the first place & a gorgeous smile came onto his lips.
"Waalaikumassalam; Asbah baby is that you?" He asked in a surprisingly cheerful voice.
Asbah giggled on the other end."Yes yes Afzal uncle I am Asbaaaahhh. " She shouted merrily.
Afzal laughed at her reaction as he continued speaking,"I am so glad to hear your voice.How are you baby?"
"I am fine Alhamdulillah." She answered & instantly added,"I was missing you sooo much Afzal uncle."
His face lit up with a bright smile at those words,"Atleast there is someone who misses me.I missed you too, little one."
"Afzal uncle nobody brings me candy here", Asbah almost whined in her cute way & his frown returned.
"Why is that? Shall I come to your place with a candy then?"
He asked amusedly.
"Yes, yes", she excitedly said & Afzal could almost imagine her big brown eyes sparkling with excitement.
