So which of the favours of your lord would you deny-Surah ar-Rahman


___

Kinza and Safina had just came out from the university after the Mu'allima(teacher) informed them about Heena aunt's call that Daniyal would come to pick them up as driver was busy with some other work.

Daniyal came within few minutes and they both sat at the back seat.

When did Safina started wearing niqab? He pondered.

"Assalamualaykum bhaiyu. I learnt so many good things and I also memorized one of the Ayat's translation."Safina chirped happily, before Daniyal could start the car.

"Wa alaikum assalam Safi.. that's great. What's the translation?" He asked, taking a sharp turn.

"Um.. hmm what was that.. yeah. . "Oh which of the favours of Lord will you deny?" She read it out loud, proudly. Just learning a small Ayath's translation had made her happy. Kinza was quiet all the time, smiling at Safina's enthusiasm.

"Masha Allah Safi.. you are smart haan.. you learnt so soon." He encouraged her.

"Thanks bhaiyu.. but not like Kinza huh.. she has memorized some of the Surah's too."

"But I never knew that." Daniyal replied, looking at the rear view mirror. It looked like Kinza was glaring at Safina. But why?

"It's not good to tell everyone about it, because who knew all our good deeds will be wasted if we get even an ounce of feeling like ria(showing-off) in our heart." Kinza explained, remembering the beautiful things she had learnt as a small smile played on her lips.

We must do everything for Allah subhana wa ta'ala. An ounce of self amazement and pride and showing off will put our reward down the drain.

Oh, the pleasure of learning and memorizing the book which was revealed by thy himself, the glorious Ar-Rahman, can't be described in mere words!

Kinza had changed a lot in these past three years since he left to London for his study and internship for two and half years, Daniyal thought.

Pulling the car in front of the house, they all got out of the car and walked in.

"So are you gonna wear niqab (face veil) and hand gloves from now on?" Daniyal asked to Safina, as they walked in.

"I don't know, its kind of difficult, but I will try!"Safina beamed.

Osman and his family along with the inhabitants of Rahmani house were enjoying the cool climate as they all sat in the wooden chairs in the garden area. 

"Here comes tea!" Kinza walked in with a tray in her hand and smiled as she handed it to everyone.

"Only your tea is the remedy to my headache, dear!" Abdulrahman said as he took a small sip inhaling the aroma of masala tea.

"But Dad,just a mug of cream coffee works much better,"

Abdulrahman waved his hand dismissing his sons views as he was a lover of tea. While kinza rolled her eyes at his taunt and asked Safina to come with her to terrace. It was her favourite time of the day, playing with the wind.flying kite.

fter a while the two ladies sat in kinza's room,

"Wow, this ring looks so beautiful Kinz, but its so small and old," Safina admired, taking the shining emerald ring from the table. Kinza was reading Surah Mulk after Isha prayer. She closed the Qur'an and kept it in the Almirah.

"Umm, my Abbu gifted to me on my ninth birthday, but I lost it and....um.." Kinza couldn't complete her sentence as the tears started blurring her vision.
Safina didn't notice her tears as she was still looking at ring, "but this doesn't looks like a kid's ri.. ." Safina stopped noticing kinza's tears and Kinza blinked back her tears and wiped the small droplet with her finger.

"I am sorry Kinza. . I am... sorry," Safina kept the ring aside and hugged Kinza tightly;She didn't ask any other questions about how she got it back.

"Thanks." Kinza spoke as she got up from the bed. "I am feeling better now."

"And I am sorry."Safina was sad that because of her, Kinza almost cried.

"Don't be Safi." She smiled, assuring her that she was alright.

"And I can't control my tears, you are pretty strong kinz, controlling your emotions so well, "

"I used to cry over silly things but now I have learnt to stay strong and not to be sensitive over silly little things."

"What's the plan for now?"Safina asked

"Will spend some time with Heena aunty and Mami. I have been busy the whole day." Kinza replied and they both walked out of the room whilst Daniyal was coming upstairs carrying a pile of papers in his hands. He noticed that both the girls looked sad.

"Where is Adeel Bhai?" Safina asked.

"I heard from Mamu that he is with his friends." Daniyal shrugged, looking at Kinza, who was deliberately looking anywhere but him.

"Oh. I wanted to go shopping but He was not here the whole day,"She whined.

"We will go for shopping tomorrow. In sha allah. Were you girls crying?" He asked. Curiosity kills the cat.

"No!"Kinza replied instantly before Safina could say anything and walked off. Daniyal thought that something is wrong and ambled to his room. Some of the papers slipped from his hand and fell on the ground near Kinza's room. He picked all the papers, arranging them correctly.

"These girls didn't bother to switch off the fan." He mumbled, when he noticed that the fan was on in Kinza's room. He went in and switched off and then he noticed that ring. Emerald ring.

'So that's why she had been crying,'he realised as he thought to himself and took the ring; putting it in his pocket and walked off to his room.

"I heard some noises at midnight. I guess it was Kinza and Daniyal bhabi. How can you allow them to be.... " Fariha mami trailed off noticing Kinza and Safina, entering the room but Kinza stopped in her tracks. She had obviously listened to what Mami was speaking about. Safina was shocked too. Heena gave Kinza an apologetic look; She smiled and walked away from there.

"Ammi, they weren't alone; I was with them too.. and how could you.. " Safina said but didn't want to say any more words as she knew Kinza was hurt therefore she went out of the room searching for Kinza but met with Daniyal in the living room and told him what happened a while ago in Heena phupi's room.

Daniyal was fuming in anger. He barged furiously into his Mom's room before Safina could stop him.

"Mom, I need to talk." He stated,his jaws clenched. It looked like Heena was giving some explanation to Fariha.

"What happened Dani?" Fariha Mami asked with the extra fake sugary sweet tone.

"Mom, I will be in the lounge,"He informed before striding away without waiting for a reply.

"Mom, why don't you tell them? " he asked as soon as Heena entered the lounge.

"What? When you are not even accepti... " she was cut off by Safina's loud scream and they both ran out to where her shrill scream came.
