When Eman walked through the streets, a cold wind blows upon her cheeks and filled her with delight; This wind made the space marvellous.
Understanding an opponent's mind was an interesting task, but difficult too. She wanted to understand khizer's psyche to know about the steps that he'll take in the future. The problem was that he was not one person at all but he was the collection of many personalities. It made her task seem like climbing on a heightened mountain of an unknown height.
Allah only knew what khizer's mind consist of.
If she could understand one face of his, then next will come. If she understood the second, then so will the third and so on.
He had so many masks, so many faces to differentiate. What made them up? She had no clue.
She was now driven by her anger due to his presence there.
She thought a lot but she could not find even a word... Just a word to define his personality or show his real face. It was simply too much, He was just strange, really strange.
One day, his Assistant thew a cup of tea on one of the important files, when Eman was passing from the lounge to her room in the hotel. Khizer and his PA were working there. He didn't show any anger to her PA, even he acted like a loving and caring brother.
Then He passed a smile to Eman who was watching all this from the door.
"Well, now I get the point; you want to know your value from me, so you are pretending to be a good boss," Eman's voice was cold with anger.
His lips tipped up in a smile as he responded, "Not at all, I know my value very well, and I don't expect this from anyone to show me my worth."
When his PA came closed to Eman, she asked about her boss.
PA inhaled a deep breath, "He has a special kind of shine with those wide and deep eyes." She tilts her head and continued, "Actually, rich people usually have an attractive personality. I don't know how, but they inspire everyone easily with their magical auras. Sir also has a magnetic power that attracts everyone strongly and with ease ."
Eman further asked, "When he speaks to you, does his way of talk forced you to feel like you are talking with a rich or great man?"
She answered, "No, his personality has a way of making people feel that they had good luck, so they were able to meet him. His personality haplotize all."
PA chuckled, "He had an important property, He listen how much he wants to, neither one word more nor one wordless."
Eman questioned, "How does he behave with girls? "
She replied, "Sir has done many projects with many girls. Through them all, there wasn't a single one who didn't love him. Well, if there wasn't any love but they must be affected by his magnetic attraction. But Mam, the fact of the matter is, Sir never crossed the line with any of the girl. His personality simply has a strange way of attracting hearts."

That day Eman was not feeling well. She was missing Farhan.
Everything was silent except for the leaves of trees which were being gently shaken by the wind. It was nearly dark and the air felt as if it was filled with sadness.
She knelt on the grass. Her lips trembled and she spoke out loud. Her blood ran cold. Suddenly the circle of the moon rose.
She suffered from hunger and lack of sleep. But it was meaningless to her. She carried her eternal hell about with her. The weather became almost too cold to bear.
Her emotions were so deep, that she could not control her tears. The burning drops ran down her cheeks, faster and faster, she wept aloud.
She thought it would calm her but after a short while her sorrow was too much and she could do nothing. It was bitterly cold.
Suddenly Khizer and Yamna came. They joined her and she quickly cleaned her wet face and passed a smile to them.
Khizer was busy in enjoying the weather. When he sat with her, he'll be like a heavenly spirit whose heart was entirely free of sorrow and selfishness.
Khizer asked her to go inside because of the cold weather but she refused.
Then yamna insisted, so she became willing. As they started walking, after a few steps, she lost her energy. She was unable to walk and saw properly. But as she was falling, khizer restore her position. Hold her shoulder, with his hand on her he drop her to room.
Yamna was sitting with her. She was holding her hand. Khizer prepared tea for them and gave her medicines too. He was continuously holding a thermometer and constantly checking her fever.
It got very late. At 1'O clock everything was silent except for the sound of rain being blown against the window. Yamna had fallen asleep as well in Eman's bed. khizer was sitting on the chair beside the bed. Eman heart was beating so quickly as she opened her eyes. She could feel every vein and artery inside her bursting with blood.
All her hopes and dreams had suddenly turned into nightmares, and she felt so ashamed. She was weeping until she fell into sleep again.
As morning came, It was wet. Eman's tired and aching eyes could see him sitting beside her with their fingers interlocked.
She quickly untie her fingers and she was astonished how it happened. He was still in the same position as he was before.
Rain began to pour down from the black and comfortless sky.
* * * * * *
Eman don't feel so familiar with Khizer. There's nothing substantial about him. It's nearly all space like space pervaded.
He became that part of her world which in more devious ways had forced himself on her attentions.
He was just a strange presumption who lies visible to her eyes and tangible to her grasp.
She felt his personality was outside the scope of human consciousness. His personality had thus become a world of shadows.
In removing our illusions we had to remove our thoughts first. We had seen that our thoughts were one of the greatest of our illusions. Perhaps we may inquire whether in our zeal to cut out all that was unreal. We may not have used the knife too ruthlessly. She should forget what was unreal that is Farhan. She thought about Khizer too who was beyond her mind.
Perhaps indeed, reality was a child who cannot survive without its nurse illusion.
She was not insisting on his shadowy nature because of his philosophy. But because of the aloofness from familiar conceptions will be apparent in his nature. If someone was not prepared for this aloofness, they are supposed to think him ridiculous, as she does, many people would do so.
But now she became corrigible. She could understand his personality and nature up to some extent.
