Author's POV

Its being a month now. Sehar is focussing hard on her studies just to make her father. Where as Daniyal is losing himself in crowd of world.

He has even started going to his father's office just because his father said. But he can't forget those eyes who always looks very keenly. He knows he is better at hiding everything but those seems like to catch him. Infront of those eyes he feels he is the culprit of hiding his own feeling.

He groaned getting up the from the seat and went into the library to issue some books.

Again he saw her seating in the library minding her own business. Something twitched in his stomach seeing her seating there with a frown.

Before he can move forward to search the particular book a peon came and informed the librarian

"Sir, Malik Sir behosh ho gye h" before the librarian can take any action.

Sehar asked the peon
"Baba kha h"

"Woh apne cabin m h" replied the peon and the 3 of them rushed towards his cabin.

Daniyal too followed them as the librarian was too old to help them.

They saw Professor Malik' body on the ground.

"Baba, lgta h inka sugar level low ho gya. Kuch mitha laye jldi" said Sehar seeing his father on the ground.

Till the peon came Daniyal and Nial helped the Professor Malik to lay on the couch.

"Aap Malik sahab ki beti h?" Asked the librarian.

"Ji" she said in trance looking at her father.

"Ye lijiye" peon gave the jalebi to Sehar with the glass of water.

Before she can go to his to make him eat. Daniyal asked for a offer to help seeing her working like a robot. She was too engrossed in thoughts to help. That's why Daniyal came forward.

After some time Professor Malik woke up and said in soft whisper

"Mujhe maaf krdi meri wjh se aap logo ko itni taklif hui"

"Nahi sir aesi koi baat nhi wese bhi hm logo ki koi classes thi hi nhi. Hm log free the. Or ab toh chutti ka bhi time ho gya h" said Nial with a small smile.

"Acha toh ab hm chlte h" librarian said and all moved out coz it was waste of time to stay in the cabin.

Sehar went to library to take her forgotten things.

Entering the library she saw khan sitting on the table going through her things. Seeing this anger bubbled into her veins. But she composed herself and snatched the bag from his hands.

Before she can do anything he grasped her wrist tightly in his hold.

"Masla kya he tumhara" she said with anger evident in his eyes.

"Tum ho mera masla tum-" before he can speak further.

Daniyal came asked Khan

"Masla toh mujhe bhi h tumse toh phir me kya karun tumhara"
His blank eyes screaming death made Khan lose her wrist and he disappeared from their eye sight.

She looked at him directly staring at his soul less eyes. And he moved his eyes away from her because he felt she read him. Amd he don't want anyone to read him, specially his eyes.

"Apka shukriya" he heard a small whisper from her.

"Insan hi insan ke kaam ata h" he said and went away coz he couldn't control his heart which started beating loudly after listening her voice. That was strong and firm just like her.

"Aap ne dawai kyun nhi li" she asked her father seating in the car.

"Aap jante h aapke alawa mera koi nhi h, uske bawajood bhi apko laparwahi dikhani zroori h" she continued looking out of the window.

"Aesi bat nhi h beta bs me thoda buzurg ho gya hun or ab bhul ne lga hun" he tried to clear.

"Lekin mujhse wada kro ki meri baat manogi" he asked parking the car.

"Aapki hr bat mani h, yeh bhi man lenge" she tried to act playfully but only she knows how sacred she was seeing her father like this.

"Toh phir ajj ka mene tumhara dentist ka no lga diya bina koi masle ke wha chli jao. Mujhe mere dost ne bulaya h me wha jaunga" he said opening the door with the key.

"Yeh kb hua abba mene nhi jana" she whined and started throwing tantrums.

"Bilkul chup krke chli jao" he said in a stern voice making her quite.

"Ok lekin jana kb h" she asked while making faces.

"Abhi adhe ghante baad chli jana" he said and went into his room.

"Waah yrr yeh bhi shi h" murmuring she laid on a bed.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"Kya tooth extraction. Are are hmari is baare me bat toh hui nhi thi" Seher whisper yelled.

"Beta nikalna toh pdega its totally destroyed upr se swelling bhi h, isliye extraction is the best option" dentist said.

"Acha, toh phir kb ana h" she asked half-heartedly.

"3 din baad dubara ajana" dentist said giving her medicines for her swelling.

She was frowning holding her left cheek. Lost in her own world she collided with a person. Saying sorry hurriedly she went away from there.

Daniyal was laying on a bed with on arm beneath his head and other on his stomach. Flashback from the evening was replaying again and again making him go restless.

*flashback*
"Haniya aapko jana pdega wrna apke cha jaan naraz ho jayenge" he said to her niece who was whining to not go.

"Pr dard hoga" she said with a pout.

"Nhi hoga woh apko inject krenge pehle"

Listening to this she yelled loudly in the car. By passer gave them a weird look. Some even whispered "khi yeh kidnapper toh nhi". To which he yelled back

"Bhatiji he meri or aap apne kaam se kaam krenge"  rudely.

"Agar app nhi manoge toh thik h fir ajj se cha jaan naraz, katti" he said crossing her arms.

She went from the and opened his side of car door she said

"Chaliye Nawab sahab" he took her in his arms and went inside the dental unit.

Talking with her he didn't paid the heed to the by passers and avoided their gazes. Suddenly he collided with small frame who's honeyed smell enchanted him in which he just want to flow away from the world.

"Sorry sorry" the girl said and hurriedly went away from there.

Recognising the voice he turned back just to see frame going away from him.

"Seher" he tasted her name on his tongue and felt a different kind of emotion engulfing him.

Shrugging his thoughts away he went towards his destiny.

*flashback ends*.

"Pagal kr diya tumne mujhe. Ek. Sirf ek jhalak se" he murmured to the full moon and felt asleep seeing that moon passing through the clouds.
