The Prescence

Hello fellow knights🏇! The picture above is the photo of Rani Halima that Azad hid in his cupboard! I edited the picture to make it look old..hehe!! To be honest, i dont really know who she is but she fits the description of Rani Halima! Do enjoy the 3rd last chapter! LOVE YALL!

Author POV

The icy grey sky restlessly grumbled. The thick blackened clouds were dragged down by the heavy rain which it held in its delicate frame. The clouds which struggled to withstand the burden of the weight which the rain held, soon gave in. The rain poured down over the mansion with a roar. The sound of emptiness was disrupted by the loud gregarious boom of thunder.

Azad went back to his room and took out the photoframe. He placed in on his chest and hugged it like never before. When he cried, there was a rawness to it, like the pain was still an open wound. He would clasp onto the frame, and then his whole body would shake. The sobs were stifled at first as he attempted to hide his grief, then overcome by the wave of his emotions he would break down entirely, washing all his defences away.

Th door opened and Alia entered.

Azad POV

I was clasping onto the photoframe and crying profusely when Alia entered the room. I tried to hide the photoframe i was holding, but it was too late.

"Azad,whats that? Show me"she claimed and reach out her hand.

"You dont need to know" i replied curtly.

"Im your childhood friend and now your wife to be. You have to tell me everything"she urged and took the frame from me.

"This is Rani Halima! I can remember her now! You have the same smile and nose of hers!"she exclaimed while seeing the photoframe.

I snatched it back from her and put it back inside the luggage and made my way to the balcony.

"Azad, dont show me this attitude again! Look! You and i have found our family. If you think that i dont know how you feel,you are terribly wrong. Do you know it has been 20 years ever since i saw my parents? I have been living for 20 years without even knowing who my real parents and family members were!

You, turning away from me whenever im talking to you,its stupid! Your ma is coming back and here you are still crying looking at her picture"

My lips trembled and my shoulders heaved with emotion, unwilling to back down.
My dark lashes brimmed heavy with tears and my hands clenched into shaking fists, in a desperate battle against the grief.

A lone tear traced down my cheek, and just like that, the floodgates opened.

Alia came forward and wiped the tear away with her dupatta. "Everything would be fine once your ma comes and we return back to Ar-Rahim" she reassured me and patted my back, pulling me nearer to her.

"Bhaiya! They all are here!" Aisha dashed into the room.

I couldnt believe her words. They were here. My ma was here. I clutched on the railing of the balcony and didnt want to move a single step.

"We will be there Aisha. Give Azad a few more minutes" i heard Alia instructing. Aisha gave a nod and turned around to leave.

"Azad, its time, for you to meet your ma and for me to meet my mother-in-law"she claimed and took my hands into hers.

I followed behind her, without uttering a single word. Afterall, i was about to meet my ma, after 20 solid years.

Author POV

A bolt of white hot lightning broke the utter blackness, cleaving the night in parts, but just for the briefest of moments.

Alia walked along the hallway with Azad. Memories came rushing down when she remembered holding Azad's hands and running along that enormous hallway when she was young.
