Khali hai mera hath, tera hath chahiye!!❤"

Anfal Ibtihaj Usmani🌷

"Arsh got a new best friend!!!"

Burhan said blankly rubbing his arm on which she slapped.

Anfal's jaw dropped to ground and she punched him hard in stomach.

"Why are you beating me?"

Burhan yelled in pain.

"Cause I know who that bestfriend is!!"

" Who?"

"Offcourse me!!!"

She said proudly and this time Burhan seriously wanted to pull his hair out on her confidence but controlled his nerves.

"Apart from you!!! He made another best friend apart from you!!!"

He said .

"THAT CAN'T BE POSSIBLE!!!!"

She shouted.

"What are you both doing?"

Anfal and Burhan were talking when they heard someone say from behind.

"Plotting your death!!"

Anfal said and turned only to gasp.

Burhan took change and ran inside.

Anfal too tried to walk pass him bit let me rephrase it tried to pass by him when Ibtihaj held her wrist and pulled her back.

Anfal's back collided woth his rock chest.

Her facial hair of neck raised up getting alert when his hot breath started fanning the exposed part of her back below neck.

"Well I heard that someone was too eager to sit in my lap!!!"

He said drawing irregular shapes on her neck and shoulder.

She shivered under his touch.

"No..no!!"

She muttured.

He turned her around facing him and her hands went on his chest.

"Really??"

He raised brow grazing her jaw line.

"Yea..yeah!!"

She said lowering her head.

"Does my touch making you nervous??"

He smirked raising brow.

It is!!!!"

"No!!"

She said trying to be confident but all her confident went in vain when he started leaning on her face.

His lips were so close to her cheeks.

She closed her eyes tightly waiting for it but it never came.

She opened her eyes only to see an am used Ibtihaj.

She somehow felt disappointed.

"What were you thinking?"

He smirked.

"Nothing!! Leave my arm!!"

She said with annoyance.

"I never held your arm!!"

He said shaking head in no along with

surrendering his hands in air.

Her mouth hung opened.

She quickly retreated her hands from his chest and went inside making faces.

"Stupid girl..."

Ibtihaj smiled looking at her who going in while stomping her feet on floor.

____________

Arsh was messaging someone when Anfal punched him directly on head making him fall from sofa whincing.

"Kon jhungali aagya hai yahan ?"

(Who is this wild here??)

Arsh whined rubbing his neck .

"Its me!! How could you do this Arsh? How??"

She said punching Arsh nonstop.

"Bit first tell me what I have done?"

Arsh said trying to stop her who was contiously kicking and punching him.

"How could you make a new best friend apart from me? You said that I will always be your only best friend!!'

Anfal said with teary eyes.

"Who told you??"

Arsh said out of shock and his gaze directly landed on Burhan who was hiding his face behind cushion.

"Leave that just tell me it's true or Not? Did you make a new best friend?"

Anfal punched him again.

"I didn't know that bhabhi can be this fierce!!"

Burhan said wide eyeded looking at her who was beating Arsh like a punching bag.

"She is doing what she had seen before!"

Shaaz winked at him.

Just then Ibtihaj came in and his jaw was touching ground looking at the WWE happening in front of him.

"Oooooo"

Burhan hooted when he remembered that she went gym with Shaaz.

"Well bhabhi he didn't only befriended with her buttoday morning he also proposed her!"

Burhan said whistling.

Arsh was about to chime on his breath hearing this.

Anfal gave them a strange look.

"Wanna know how he proposed her?"

Burhan asked and Anfal nodded.

"Allah bhabhi!! It's hilarious but I will still tell you. He said

Ek hath ma coffee ek hath ma pasta..

Mujhse shadi krlo Allah ka wasta!!!"

(Coffee in one hand and pasta in other hand. Marry me for Allah's sake )

Burhan said and they all burst into laughter except ibtihaj who controlled his laugh looking at vulnerable situation of Arsh.

Anfal gave Arsh are you insane look.

"Arsh!! Seriously?? Were you proposing her or begging?? Who the hell proposes like this??"

She said raising brow and Shaaz and Burhangave HiFi to each other laughing like lunatics.

" How do you know??"

Arsh raised brow at Burhan.

"Cause the Asma whom you are asking for coffee out is none other than me!!!"

Burhan grinned.

Anfal exchanged looks with Shaaz and they all burst into laughter.

"Tu Bach ab!!!"

(Save yourself Now!!)

Arsh yelled and ran behind Burhan.

Whole house was watching their cat rat show.

______________

"Allah!! Now I have to walk all the way long to kitchen to drink water!!"

Anfal groaned looking at empty water bottle and lazily stood up.

It was raining heavily outside woth thunderstorm.

She went directly to kitchen and after drinking and filling her bottle she went to her room.

Again and again light was shining on sky giving the night horrific look.

She was about to open the door of her room when she heard a sound of something falling.

She froze on her steps.

After thinking for quite some time she walked towards Ibtihaj's room from where voice came.

His room's door was slightly opened.

She peeked at the wall call which was in front of her and found it indicating 2 in morning.

She looked here and here but couldn't find anyone.

Strange!!

She was about to turn back when again a shattering sound came startling her.

She turned around and opened door slightly trying to not make amy noice and entered in.

The room was looking like a complete mess.

All the things were scattered here and there.

Just then she noticed Ibtihaj sitting on floor beside bed.

Again a flash roared outside and she saw his hand shivering.

This continued until she sat beside him on floor and intertwining her hand with his shivering one.

He looked at her shocked.

"What are you doing here??"

He shouted.

He didn't want anyone to see his miseries.

"I am here with you. Don't worry!!"

She said politely looking at their intertwined fingers.

"I don't need you. Just get out!!"

He shouted again pointing at door.

She stood up and after giving him a last glance she went towards door.

He heard door locking and thought that she left but his notionfaded away when after locking door she again sat beside him.

"I am not leaving you here alone. "

She said and he glared at her.

"I said na Idon't need you why.."

"Shut up!! Just shut up!!! Why you have to be this egoistic every time?? Everyone has their own fears. What's wrong in it if you are afraid of thunderstorms and flashes??"

She shouted interrupting him

He was afraid that she will make joke of her but instead he saw concern in her eyes.

He felt quite and didn't say anything.

He looked at her who again intertwined their fingers.

She smiled politely and he averted his gaze.

Again a flash roared and he shit his eyes closed.

He felt a slight squeeze on his hand and found her looking at him woth assuring smile.

He leaned back putting his head on bee's edge.

Moments passed with them sitting like this when he felt something moving behind his head.

He opened his eyes quickly and saw her who quickly cupped his face and made him lay on her lap.

His head almost fell on her lap.

"What the hell you are trying to do?"

He glared at her trying to get up but she made him lay again woth his head in her lap by pushing him back with her hands on his chest.

"Lay down!!! I will make you feel peaceful by caressing your hair. "

She said.

"No I don't want!!!"

"Please!!!"

She pleaded and he laid back cursing.

She started caressing his hair and massaging his head.

She remembered how Amma consolded her that night when she ended up unconscious under study table.

A flash roared outside and he shut his eyes tightly.

" You know about Hazrat Musa, Ibtihaj??"

She asked out of no where.

"Offcourse!! What type of stupid question it is?"

He raised brow.

"So you must also remember the time when Pharaoh put rubies on one side and sparking coal on other side and asked Hazrat Musa to pick one of them. Hazrat Musa was a child back there and any chilď would have picked coal due to its glow but Hazrat Musa being the special one he was, reached out for the rubies, but the angel Jibrael directed his hand to the coals fulfilling Allah's command. Musa grabbed a glowing coal and put it in his mouth, burning his tongue. After the incident Musa suffered from a speech defect but was spared by the Pharaoh."

She said stroking his hair.

" Yes I know!! Why are repeating it?"

He said woth his eyes closed.

"The thing which I want to specify is that, Musa suffered from taunts and brickbats all his life due to his incapability of speaking fluently. Little did he know that he will be granted by Allah such high status that all the people will respect and value him as he was? At that time when he put that burning coal in his mouth he must have felt unbearable and unexplainable pain but little did he know, that pain was temporary and a first step of his Allah saving his life?"

Anfal said .

"What ecaxtly you mean to say?"

He said sighing.

"I mean to say is when we feel hurt and pain, we underestimate the fact that Allah has a plan for everything. If He is giving us pain then that pain is for our upcoming betterment for sure but at that instance when we are broken we forget all these things. Let suppose if Allah hadn't asked Jibrael to move Musa's hand away then what would have happened??"

She asked.

"Offcourse Pharoah would have killed him."

He said casually.

"Exactly that's the point!! Being killed is more painful or having a small wound on your tongue is more painful?"

She said excitedly.

"Indeed being killed is more painful!!"

"So this is the message in this story that Allah don't burden you more than your will. Before throwing you in battlefield He makes a door for your escape!! Before hurting you, He gives you the will to endure!! He lessens your pain without even you knowing. He fulfills His wishes from the resources you can't imagine of!!"

She said and he found his soothing shelter in her lines.

She stopped talking and kept on massaging his head.

Moments passed in silence.

Rain and flashes had stopped long ago and Ibtihaj even forgot about them when she made him indulged in talking.

"I am not afraid of thunderstorms!!! It just.. it's just that they remind me of something I don't want to!!!"

Silence in room broke by his voice.

Anfal looked at him and he opned his eyes and their eyes met.

"Wanna share?? I am not forcing you. It's totally go to you but I will suggest you to share it. To get your frustration out and bekieve me it will ease you!!"

She smiled.

Ibtihaj scanned her face closely and clearly with his sharp scrutinizing gaze but didn't see not even a sign of betrayal and plan of mocking him.

He sighed .

" It was the same haunting night when they brought him dead to our doorsteps!!"

He said.

Anfal looked at him in utter horror getting alert what else she was about to hear.

"Whom?"

She whispered.

"My dad!!!"

He said looking here and there.

Shivers ran down to her spine.

Unknownliy she placed her hand on his hand which was kept on his chest.

His eyes snapped at her.

She nodded in assurance.

He took a deep breath and took her hand in his both hands.

"My dad was a fruit seller!! Their was a leader of land mafia who wanted to build a building on the place where many poor people used to sell their produts and fruits in thier little shelter less shops. It was called poor's market that's why no one gave a damn about that market when that builder ordered his men to destroy those shops. But those people who used to feed their families by their little earnings were grieved to death. One day one of them raised his voice about not undergoing that torture and some of other fruit sellers and other workers supported him while others pulled these steps back in fear of that land mafia.

One day they all protested and in return the people of that land mafia shooted those poor sellers dead mercilessly."

He said playing with her finger tips.

A whimper left her mouth which caught his attention.

She stretched his hand and wiped her tears.

" You know what? The one who started protest was none other than my dad, Ibrahim Usmani!! It was raining badly when me and my Amma was crying and soaking beside his body which was drenched in blood."

He took a painful sigh.

" You must have loved your dad too much??"

She asked in teary voice.

"Loved?? I used to worship him and amma after my Allah. He was my hero whose superpowers were only for me and amma. He was the poor among all people but for me he was the king and richest man of the world because he never refused to give me the things I asked for. You know what he used to say to me before sleeping every night?"

She said turning completely towards her with his head still on her lap.

" You tell me!!"

She shoke her head.

"He used to say that Ibtihaj!!! No matter what never let evil get empowered on you. If you ever feel lonely then look at your yourself in mirror and there you will find your strength. Don't step back in fear of lossing. If you think you will be defeated then you are! Now!! At that same instance!! If you think you won't be able to keep up the battle then you are already beaten!!!

Don't beg for people to join you and make a gang but start working alone silently and let your success show them the meaning of one man army!!! Those days when I left the hope of living anymore I saw dad in my dream. He repeated the same lines and further said that you are defeating yourself. After that I started a new life with a determination of stopping all these evil. Just when I found Rehab bhai and he helped me alot whehter it's about my education or any other thing."

He stopped and saw that her hair strands was rolled on his fingers.

Unknowingly while speaking he started twirling her hair strands on his fingers.

"I am sorry for your loss!!"

She whispered lowly.

He nodded.

"That night I felt like it was the end of world. I felt that I won't be able to smile again and look at life again. I was broken beyond repair. I felt like i wont be able to take my next breath but look here I am strong and unbeatable. This all is the mercy of my Allah. All that gave me the message that life goes on and on whether you have shoulders to cry on or you are burning in hell alone. Allah when gets affected by all this?? Neither it stops nor sticks on one memory or a tear."

He sighed.

"All that situations passed like a beautiful sad song leaving you with many lessons and this will pass too!! Time is no one's property. It was in favour of evil whole ago and it will soon be in your favour. All matters is that whom time chooses to favour."

After that they talked for sometime and didn't know when sleep consumed them in its embrace.
