Inevitable Destiny- Mayi Ri

(28)

It is rightly said that time is the biggest healer of all, Aini and Fakhir were now on the journey of finding peace, comfort and protection in each other's company.

Even though the difficulties were not reduced or finished, but they were trying to navigate through them with patience, their intellect and support from each other. As the days turned into weeks, their relationship changed as well.

Office and school work got piling up, and along with that came times when family needed their support as well. But, with their mothers as their biggest supports... they were learning new things about life, people around them and about each other as well.

Both of them being so young, it took time to understand those files filled with excel sheets and graphs, while Aini was trying her best to get the hang of broom, spices and the managing of the kitchen.

The time after the dinner was set for their studies and office work. Both of them settled on the bed, with their heads bent over textbooks and laptop, trying to finish their never-ending work.

But everything was not so sweat and simple. There were times, when their frustration and anger because of work or family matters took over, leading to heated exchange of words between them.

However, now it was not like before... their anger would turn into silence and then slowly evaporate with one or other coming and saying sorry.

"Naraz ho?" Aini asked, as she came and stood behind Fakhir... while he was working on his laptop at his desk

"Fakhir" she shook him, making him roll his eyes at that

"Fakhir... baat nhi karo ge humse?" she asked while bending down, her mouth near his ear... making it difficult for him to act like he was very angry at her.

She sighed when she didn't get any reply and was about to go, when a hand brought her back. Fakhir looked up and saw Aini standing with a nervous smile on her face...

"When will your anger not get the best of you, haan?... yeh apko itna gussa kyun aata hai?" he asked while bringing her closer

Aini huffed and said "It's not me... wo Raheela Aunty, she always does or say something which makes my blood boil and to top it all off... Abba is always supporting her, making Amma go through the same pain again and again"

Fakhir smiled slightly at her and said "Ignore kiya karo yarrr and in some time she will know what exactly is her place in this family, and regarding the matters related to Chachi... she is stronger than you think. In Sha Allah with time everything will be fine"

"What do you mean by she will know?" she asked in confusion

"Nothing... leave her and..." Fakhir said while rubbing her hands, giving them warmth

"And..." Aini asked

"Just concentrate on Me... Samjhi Aap" he said trying to authoritative, but failing miserably... making both of them laugh out.

"Accha chalo, close all off this. Bohot raat ho gayi hai" Aini said, while arranging the files and Fakhir also nodded and after saving his work he also started winding up.
