19th July

Surprisingly, my morning didn't began with my husband's berates that day instead it was the sounds of beautiful birds singing nearby with wonderful smell of sweet honey nectar and the mist. The sun wasn't out properly, yet it's light was simmering from beneath the mountains right into our room. It felt like our room was in the middle of the woods with snow covered mountains in the background. I instantly started praising Allah.

My husband and the rest were sound asleep so I went out of the room found no one there as it was fajr time. Maybe everyone was praying inside their rooms. I knew Hadia would be needing her feeding cup filled with milk soon enough so I prepared it for her, went back to my room and started preparing for the day. I could hear the little buzzing sounds in the background that turned into whispers, the incline didn't stop until it became loud rumblings. Mostly it was bhaiya's bawl outs on each and every door telling everyone to get ready for the day. As we had planned to cross the border and touch the other side of the world.
Just kidding
We had planned to visit China border that is khunjerab pass that day.
'We'll do our breakfast on our way to khunjerab pass.' I heard bhaiya as I opened the door. Bhaiya and Api were standing by her room which was just opposite mine.
' I think we should at least boil these eggs here.' alluded Api.
'Yes if you please.' bhaiya said.
'I need some of that hot water for the kids.' I told Api who was boiling the water on a portable gas stove by the door.
'Well you can use this one I've been boiling this for my husband but it seems that he's not getting up anytime soon. I'll fill the pan again for him.' Api said and I complied to her offer happily.
'Just take necessary stuff for the day. The temperature will be low at khunjerab pass so please do pack the jackets you bought.' bhaiya was standing at the door after a while when I was dressing up shaji, my little one.
'Okay.'
