The sun was out bidding farewell to the last signs of the night, unfurling it's shine around the area. The air was fresh and fragrant with the smell of flowers from the garden. The birds were chirping in the most melodious sounds catching the attraction of passerby. Zayn observed the beauty and thought there is something about the morning, some vibe,a positive maybe. He inhaled the air and a certain kind of wholeness surrounded him giving him content. In the meantime clouds came out of nowhere and blessed the earth with rain. He inhaled deeply once again and this time the wholeness was accompanied by the petrichor,he smiled and adored the rain,the birds,the clouds for a little more than usual.

"Breakfast is ready brother dear."

"Coming sister bear."

Mahjabeen groaned at this remark and headed towards kitchen.

"Amma your son is always making fun of me."

"When will you both grow Mahjabeen."

"Amma it's all her fault I was just rhyming."

Zayn tried to be all innocent.

"Yeah it's always my fault. You are so innocent big brother. And that tactic is so old now please Bhai come with something new."

"Uff whatever you said was so boring Mah."

Mahjabeen rolled her eyes and they all started breakfast calmly when their mother broke the silence.

"Zayn beta it's an important day today. I know you don't need any of this but still I'll say be careful. Take care of your sister and yourself. You both are my only hope. Go in the name of Allah and come back healthy and alive."

"I don't think so someone is going to a war."

"Mahjabeen I am serious. And you too don't act so stupid and careless on this atleast. Your presence and composure means alot. Be confident and successful."

"We will win the case after all there are kids,women,men, institutes and foremost humanity involved."

" Inn Sha Allah"
