Unknowingly His ✓completed

Chapter18

Kinza was making supplication after Isha salah when she heard a knock, though the door was open, she knew it was her uncle. She completed her dua with
darood-e-shareef and Aameen.

"Assalam alaikum uncle,"She said folding the musallah(prayer mat)

"Wa alaikum Assalam beta,I was thinking to spend some time with you."He said patting her head and sat on the bed and Kinza smiled sitting beside him.

There was beat of silence before he spoke again.

"Am sorry beta."He apologized.

"For what?"Kinza asked, astonished.

"For not telling you about my promise to your Abbu!"He was guilty.

Kinza shifted uncouncomfortably in her place.

"Please uncle, don't be sorry. You all were worried about my health and that's why you didn't say anything about that thing."She smiled.

"Masha allah, my niece is very strong,I didn't expect you to handle it well."

"Sometimes you have to be strong and face the situations instead of sulking and crying, though I cry alot more than necessary."Kinza chuckled.

"Any person in your place will do the same beta,and don't keep your emotions and feelings locked, let it out, we are all here for you!"He assured her and kinza nodded, smiling.

"Is there anything else I should know?"She asked curiously.

"No."AbdulRahman said before thinking for a while.

"Come, let's have dinner, heena has made your favourite dish!"He said and they both walked out of the room.

"Hey kinz, I helped phupi in making pasta for you."Safina said excitedly and Kinza just smiled. She was still angry and sad because of safina's joke about her getting engaged. Safina looked at AbdulRahman for help and he raised his hands as if saying you have to deal with it.

"What? Just a small smile! Aren't you happy?"Safina asked keeping her hands in her hips.

"Kinza, you can't ignore me.I won't let you do that to me."Safina said embracing Kinza in a bear hug and Kinza laughed hugging her back. This girl knew how to convince someone who is angry on her.

"Okay, I will make your favourite brownie, Am so sorry Kinza."She pouted.

"Okay okay. But I won't help you."Kinza said as they broke the hug and Safina jumped excitedly with an "yayy" and dashed over to kitchen after hugging Kinza again.

Kinza turned to see that Daniyal had been sitting in the dinning room all the time and was noticing them with a smile on his face. She looked around to see that uncle wasn't there.She sat in front of him, pouring a glass of water, She was taking the first gulp of water when daniyal asked,
"Will you forgive me, if I give you a hug like safi?"He asked quietly.

Kinza dribbled the water and choked so hard that heena who was coming from the kitchen, rushed towards her and gave her a few whacks. She flushed as she looked into daniyal's eyes.

What did he just say.

A hug.

Way to make things more awkward.

"Good?"Heena asked.

Kinza nodded looking past Daniyal and avoiding his gaze. He extended the tissue box and she hesitated before taking it.

"Sorry."Daniyal mouthed in a whisper when she glanced at him for a mere second. Kinza just rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Safii.. How much time are you taking to decorate the dishes!"Heena called and Safina came with the tray and Banu followed her with another tray of dessert.
