The car stopped at the Sayyed Haveli, Khawar got down and opened the door for her, then took her suitcase out from trunk

"Take care! And call me if you need anything or there is any problem." Kissing her forehead he said, she just nod her head

"Allah Hafiz!"

"Allah Hafiz." Her voice came out like she would cry any moment, Khawar gently pat her cheek and drove off in his car

They didn't invited him, that's one of the reason why she also didn't wanted to come here but Khawar told her it's her family

With a heavy sigh she strolled her suitcase behind her and came in front of the big black gate, she rang the doorbell and waited for someone to open it

She didn't had to rang the bell twice because someone opened it, the girl who opened the door looked at her from head to toe then her face broke into a big grin

"Andar aiye...... Laiye yeh mujhe de dijiye." She took the suitcase from her, she followed her inside

(Come inside...... I'll take it.)

The house looked like it was made in ancient time, first you entered from black gate there was a lawn then moving from lawn to inside was aangan

"Aap yahi rukiye main sabko bulati hoon." The girl said and left

(I'll call everyone.)

Meanwhile she again looked around on right side was kitchen, behind her were was the door of outside and beside it was stairs

She turned around when she heard noise of footsteps,

There she saw Asfand Sayyed the man in his old age but yet still had powerful aroura around him

"ASSALAMUALAIKUM!" She softly said, he took steps forward

Getting in front of her he was met with familiar eyes of grey which was just like his making it look like he is looking into mirror

"Diya!" He whispered, she awkwardly looked behind him at the family standing there then again at him

"Aap bilkul apni maa ki parchaiye Hain, bilkul Meri Diya jaisi dikhti Hain aap." He said while some tears came in his eyes which he didn't let fall as he hugged her

(You look just like your mother,)

This wasn't first time she has heard it, Khawar always told her that she is exactly like her mother

She was very little when her mother Diya passed away

"Chaliye main apko apki family se toh Mila doon." Asfand Sayyed said as he wrapped his arms around her shoulder

(Let me introduce you to your family.)

"Roshni! Apne Mamu se milliye aur woh apki mumani, unke bachhe Rohail aur Rumana," he pointed at a man who looked a little bit like him beside him was standing his wife then beside them was third kids, Rumana was her age maybe one or two years difference, Rohail was eldest one, Roshni nod her head at them

(That's your uncle and beside her is his wife and their kids Rohail and Rumana.)

"Baki yeh Ghar ke servants aur yeh bano hai yeh apke sath hi rahegi, apko koi bhi kaam ho toh aap I he keh dijiyega." Asfand Sayyed said Bano was the same girl who received her on the gate

(She is Bano, she will be with you if you need anything just call her.)

"Bano! Roshni Bibi ko unka kamra dikha dijiye," Ajmal Sayyed said

(Bano show roshni her room.)

"Ji Papa hum apna khayal rakhengey, aap bhi apna khayal rakhiyega aur raste mein kuch kha lijiyega." After getting freshen up she called Khawar and told him everything, Khawar still hadn't reached home

(Yes I'll take care of myself but you will also take care of yourself, and eat something on the way.)

"Ji Allah Hafiz!" She said and hanged up, now she was feeling relieved after talking to him

This was the first time she has been away from home and her father,

Her room was on first floor with it was attached balcony, placing the towel on chair she went to balcony

There the house in front of theirs the house was mixture of modern and ancient look but what cought her attention was the plant of motiyo ke phool that was so tall that it's branch were barely reached outside of the boundary wall

"Roshni bibi!" She got startled by someone calling her, she turned around and found Bano on the doorway of balcony

"Khane pe sab apka wait Kar rahe hain," she informed him

(Everyone is waiting for you on lunch.)

She left her room with Bano,

"Bibi sambhal ke yaha farsh Thora geela Hai," Bano told her

(Careful floor is wet.)

Roshni carefully put her right feet forward when she thought she could walk in it she put her left feet forward like this she took few steps when cross the wet floor suddenly her feet got slipped

She thought she will touch the floor any moment but instead felt someone's hands on her waist and head,

Her eyes were tightly shut that she slowly opened and saw Rohail leaning down on her

Rohail who was also going downstairs for lunch saw Roshni losing her balance before she could fall he hold her, he was there to save her from falling but he couldn't save himself for falling into her eyes

"Tha.... Thank you." Strumming she said,

"Agey se dhyaan rakhna," he said and left, Roshni also left after him

(Be careful next time.)
