The Night with No Light !!!

Daraksha Khan, princess of her "King & Queen", that's what she cal her parents as, lived together in their big  "castle", her house. Daraksha, a very kind, humble, innocent & a brilliant personality. She was very fond of books. She loved to read, as books were only her best friends. She gets everything under her nose, whatsoever she asks for as she's the exclusive child of her parents. She had plenty of friends, only because of her high status in the society. Dozens of maids to take care of her, but still the spark missing in her life. The reason was vivid, her parents used to be so busy with their business work, hectic schedule, so they hardly spent any time with her.

Somewhere in the crowded world, she was all alone, sad & gloomy.

One night, after offering her night prayers she remained vigil. She raised both of her hands up towards the sky & sobbingly made a wish to the Almighty to put an end to her loneliness. Day by day months passed by with her sobbing every night on the holy carpet.

One day her maid took her to the nearby hospital. No, not for checkup or consulting any doctor. But for something else. Something she never imagined. She kept on asking questions to the maid but she remained silent.

Once she reached the hospital, she found her father holding a new born baby in his arms. She ran towards him as fast as she could & excitingly asked, 'Is this ours?' Her father smiled & said 'Yes my princess! He is ours'.

Her happiness knew no boundaries. She felt like finally her prayers has been answered. She secretly thanked the Almighty by looking towards the sky & smiled elatedly. She was on top of the world.

On the following day, she screamed out loud to the whole world by telling them about the exquisitely blessing the Almighty had blessed them with.

She especially invited people for the 'Naming Ceremony', by personally visiting their houses with a box of sweets in her hands.

As the naming ceremony begun, everyone started congratulating her mother, father & her. One of the room was full of the gifts that the guests brought for the newest member for the family. Everyone was happy in their own happiness.

As it was the naming ceremony, therefore naming him was mandatory. Her father named him "Aqdas" meaning pure holy.

Later as the time passes by, both Daraksha & Aqdas grew up. Aqdas was 4 years old & Daraksha was 12 years old now. Like Daraksha, Aqdas too didn't got to spend enough time with their parents. So now both of them spent most of the time together.

In the starting, Aqdas had a hard time crying for his mother as he was too young to be separated from her. But Daraksha took care of him & never made him to realize the absence of his mother. She loved him as her own child. She used to play with him, give him a horse ride on her back, played with the remote controlled cars, made him laugh. She used to rush to get home as soon as her school gets over as her concern for Aqdas was growing day by day.

With time their eternal bond of love also got deeper & deeper day by day. Their bonding became too strong to be broken by anyone.

As the years passed by, Aqdas was now 17 years old & Daraksha was 25. She completed her Bachelors as well as Masters degree too & now their parents had started searching for the perfect match for their princess, whom they can settle down her with.

Aqdas just completed high school with an A+ grade. He was in love with his brand new Karizma bike which his dad awarded him as a present for scoring an A+ grade in high school.

He was so excited about his new bike that often he use to forget that it's a bike not a fighter jet plane. Many times Daraksha used to scold him for being a speed freak. She was very concerned about her bother as bike accidents were so often these days.
