Ammarah's POV



Pashmina- Amit Trevedi



After praying asr, we left the house with Rayyan trailing behind us. He had assured me that my parent would be found and I will be home.



I almost wanted to ask him if he feels the peaceful sheet that covers us while we talk. Right here, at the side of the road. I wanted to ask him if he sees the soft rays that circles us, the gentle aura that glows between us.



I wanted to tell him how I want to find my parent but not really my home. Because home was him, home only felt right with him.



But I didn't, I had nodded and thanked him then turned and reluctantly walked to meet Rahma as we hailed the taxi and drove home.



Rahma looked at me from her side of the car and smiled "You're smiling" She pointed out



I looked at her "And?



"It's Rayyan" She added



I rolled my eyes "No it's not"

She still hosts events, her friends still come and she still goes out, but now she comes home early. Immediately she steps into the house, she ask of me. It was almost as if she's scared, scared that she'll wake up one day and not find me or come home the other and hear I ran away.



But I wasn't going anywhere, not until Rayyan find them that is. And even if I'm leaving, i will inform he

Rayyan's POV



Fire on fire- Sam smith



I stared hard at the mirror and tugged my beanie cap, securing it on my head. My eyes were starting to look hollow and that, for the first time scares me.



It shouldn't scare me, it never scared me. So why now? What changed?



The door opened and Binta peeked in "Are you leaving?



"Yes"



"Breakfast?



I was about to shake my head when I decided against it and replied "Yes please, I'm coming down in a minute"



She nodded and closed the door while I stared at myself yet again before standing up, grabbing my phone and walking down the stairs. We sat at the dining table together with my sister, her children and her husband.



Her husband had looked at me when we were eating and said "Rayyan you're looking tired. Do you take your medications?



I nodded "Yes I do"



He said nothing and the dining fell into light conversation. After break
