Flashback

Ten Years Old Kabir

Malik Residence:

His sweetie pie was the most beautiful version of the ugliest man he has not met yet.

Her face was his replica but what about her personality? He prayed to Almighty that it wasn't same too. A boy could only have so much patience. He didn't know what he would do if her personality was similar to that man too.

"Did you call me sweetie pie?" She asked in a confused voice, wiping her tears and nose with the tissue in her hand. Well, looked like she came all prepared to cry.

Stupid.

That's what he first thought. Who is all prepared to cry? And if she was, then why didn't she control herself? Doesn't she know that tears are weakness?

A single tissue wasn't enough to wipe away the rivers that were flowing from her eyes.

Stupid.

Once again he thought and offered her his hanker chief. She looked at him for a second before taking it and wiping away her tears.

Stupid again.

Who accepts things from a stranger without knowing his name? What if he was a kidnapper and gave her something to smell?

"Thank you so much. What is your name?" She looked at him questioningly.

Stupid question.

God she was really stupid, wasn't she? Hasn't she heard about Stranger danger? Even Ruhi and Amaan were more intelligent than her.

When he kept on looking at her without answering any of her questions she pouted.

He looked at her than at his hanker chief. Well, clearly he can't use that now or ever.

"Oh, don't worry about it. I will ask Ruksana aunty to give it back to you after washing it." She explained in her baby voice.

Stupid again.

Did she really think that he wants that thing back?

He wanted to shout it to her that she was thinking it in a wrong way. He wanted to yell at her for being so careless around a stranger. He wanted to fight with her for...for making him feel so...

Stupid.

Yes.

He was feeling stupid around her. He wanted to say so many things to her but when he opened his mouth nothing came out.

Absolutely nothing.

She was making him feel so many emotions and that scared him to the core because he hasn't felt them since his mother's death. He was feeling this over powering urge to protect her from anything that could possibly harm her in the slightest of the ways.

Just the way he felt for his mother. 

The realisation made him feel like he can't breathe. Like the world around him was closing, as if he was going to fall in the endless pit of darkness.

"Do you need something...? Can you speak?" She asked again, now feeling confused.

And just like that he was out of whatever thought spiral he was in. The darkness disappeared just by her voice because she was here, for real. This was the reality.
