Shanzay stirred at the sound of Azaan, opened her eyes to realize, it was the time of Fajr. She rubbed her eyes and looked around her surroundings groggily. She had been sleeping on the cold hard floor of her room. She practically dragged her cold feet to the bathroom for wuzu (ablution). After wuzu, she laid jaynamaz (prayer mat) and recited Salah.

She had a porcelain face where a light pink hue dusted her cheeks due to the cold weather. Her long back hair was covered under the hijab which she had carefully tied for Salah. She prayed patiently and upon finishing it, she never rose her hands for dua'a as she had left doing it a long time ago. As she folded the prayer mat, her hazel eyes began to water again but she tried to compose herself and laid on the bed and tried to sleep.

Azlaan woke up with the buzzing of Alarm which he had set for Fajr. He sleepily walked towards the rest room, 10 minutes later he walked to the masjid to perform Salah. As he rose hands for Takbir, his thick brown hair, which was usually set with a hair gel was covered with the cap. He was tall and muscular but a smile rested upon his face that left the people dazed. He had long thick lashes which covered his green eyes that sparkled with life.

After Salah, he rose hands for dua'a and then folded the prayer mat. He went home and changed his attire. Wearing a tracksuit, he went to the park for his daily jogging.
