Qureshi Mansion- Alhaan's room:

Some days we are extremely happy while some days we feel lonely. May be it's the passing time which makes a person both happy and sad, wise and dumb, strong and vulnerable.

Life have given everything, Inaraah wished for but surely at the cost of something else. It's true that we value things after losing it. In Inaraah's case she did value that person but she didn't knew separation from him would break her to an extent that she would loose her old self.

Sitting in the balcony of her room, Inaraah gazed at the slightly orange sky which was slowly consuming the darkness around. The sun which was all set to enlighten the world and eliminate the negativity.

Alhaan left to pray Fajr Salah while Inaraah came to the balcony as she wasn't praying these days. It was too early, yet she could hear the chirping of birds who were welcoming the rising Sun. The shining stars dissipating along with the black blanket to unfold the beautiful blue sky.

But there was something about the new day which was drowning Inaraah in a pool of negativity. The surrounding silence engulfed her and dragged her back to the memory lane which still holds the capacity to break her.

Sure enough she was beyond happy with Alhaan. He was truly a blessing in her life, Allah showered upon her. Inaraah appreciates every effort Alhaan does to make her happy but then there are times when she gets scared of being happy.

After whatever happened in the past, Inaraah was scared. Afraid that she would lose Alhaan. He is not only her husband, her friend, her better half but now he has become the meaning to her life. As he said before, he was a rainbow in her cloudy life.

With tearful eyes, Inaraah looked at the sky and prayed to her Creator. She was asking for forgiveness for every single wrong deed she committed knowing or unknowingly. Her thoughts were scattered everywhere making her want to run away from the reality.

How I wish to hide somewhere..
To save myself from despair..

Loneliness follows me like a shadow..
Not letting me enjoy my rainbow..

I am entrapped in my own fear..
Longing to live in a free atmosphere..

My heart yearns for the love..
White and pure just like a dove..

Whenever I try to move towards my flare..
I am consumed back by an awful nightmare..

Few tears spilled from her eyes carrying the pain she endured these years. After few seconds, Inaraah composed herself and made her way to the washroom to wash her face. When she came back into the room, she found Alhaan sitting on the bed waiting for her.

She smiled at him and joined him on the bed. Alhaan placed a kiss on her forehead and caressed her cheek. Inaraah was feeling weak in his arms and was trying her best not to breakdown in front of him. They both lied on the bed to have a nap. Inaraah clung on Alhaan as if he would disappear.

Fears and insecurities damage a relationship but sometimes it takes a relationship to a whole new level.

Everyone settled in the living room and all eyes were fixed on the big tv screen where Alhaan's pictures were on display. He connected his laptop to the LED to show his pictures which he clicked back in London.
