The soft rays of sun were shining on her face making it look more brighter and beautiful. Those dark black eyes were glued to the section in the news paper, correction, her favourite section in the news paper. She was deeply immersed in the column as if she was actually there living the moment. The trance was broken by a call from outside.

"Armeena... breakfast is ready."
"Yeah coming."
She kept the newspaper on the side table and quickly started arranging clothes and making the bed. She stood in front of the mirror, self praised herself and upon hearing the second call from her mother she dashed into the washroom. After ten minutes she was all dressed up for the day, giving last touches to her makeover she went out for breakfast.
"Here you are, God knows what makes you take such a long time in the morning when all you do is put a mascara and a lipstick."
Her mother complained, little did she know about the columns obsession.
"Eat slowly,you are gonna stuck it in there"
"I am getting late I need to be on time"
She spoke in between eating. And was already up for going to work,when her mother stopped her midway.
"Beta(daughter), I pray that may Allah SWT keep you blessed always and forever"
"I already am amma, I have you, baba,my job and such a loving family, what else do I need? You stop worrying Mom."
"Yes Alhamdulillah, but bad eyes are always staring at us don't let them ruin you."
"What are you for? Your prayers won't allow anything happen to me mom, now Good bye I am already late"
"May Allah SWT bless you through all your way, and all the goods surround you."
Saying it she left for hospital thinking about the conversation between her and her mother.

"Being a student of university now, you should stop behaving like a pampered kid. Have mercy on my old bones Furheen."
Her mother complained while giving her breakfast.
"Amma nothing will happen to you, why you always talk about dying? You haven't even seen my kids yet"
"Let her be a kid till she is in this house Amma."
"What do you mean by 'till' bhai? I will always be here. My husband will be a sweet guy, we will live here, TOGETHER FOREVER, as baba would say"
