Another Hate Love Story

39.

Sweat droplets were gathering on his forehead resembling the morning dew on fresh green glass, jaws were clenched tightly and breath was something between rushing and normal.

"Don't give up... Just few seconds more" He muttered for himself.

"5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1.." And with the countdown of five his forth set of three minutes plank was complete and he throw himself on the black yoga mat which was in between his body and floor. Taking few deep breaths he stood up for another exercise when a soft knock on the bedroom door disturbed him.

"Ji phuppo Jaan.. Come in" Granting permission he looked towards Sara who was sleeping on her stomach then at the clock which was showing quarter past five.

"jaag rahe ho?" That was the silliest question which anyone can ask and Adnaan shook his head with mischievous smile.

(Are you awake?)

"Nhi phuppo Jaan, abhi to so raha hu." He replied in playful manner just to got a glance of fake anger.

(No phuppo Jaan, I'm sleeping)

"Naam ke musalman reh gaye ho tum log... Exercise ke liye subah uth sakte ho.. Lekin namaz nhi parh sakte.." Scolding Adnaan with a glare Rushda made her way towards Sara who was lost in her land of slumber.

(You people have become name sake Muslims only, you can wake up early for exercise, but not for namaz)

"Uth jaa (Wake up)" Slapping Sara's head her mother said and she open her eyes with a jolt. "Kon Mar gya?" (who is dead)

"Wake up and pray namaz" Sara made a pout and again close her eyes.

"Mummy lemme sleep na.." She muttered in half sleeping state and again got a slap.

"Wake up in no time." This time Sara sat down lazily And Rushda glare both them.

"Aakhri baar namaz kab parhi thi?" She asked and Adnaan scratches his head with an embarrassed smile.

(When you've pray namaz Last time?)

"Umm.. On the day of Eid" He replied meekly with a hesitation filled smile and got a glare from his phuppo Jaan,

"And you?" that was the question for Sara

"Last Friday" She replied meekly

"Great.." That was a clear sarcasm as Adnaan had offered her last namaz some eight months back and Sara did that work six days back.

"Come on, both of you do ablution and pray namaz" They both nodded and Obey the order, Rushda left the room and they both husband wife offer the smallest but most important prayer of the day. Adnaan was going to remove the prayer mat when Sara looked towards him and he was stopped as she was going to say something.

"Jo tumne kra hai us ki maafi sirf mujh se nahi Allah se bhi mango, wo bhi pure dil se" She said making him guilt ridden and he raised his hands in air after making a cup of them.

(Apologise in front of Allah for what you've done in past, that too from the dept of your heart)

After a very long supplication and apology Adnaan's lips captured by a smile when looked towards Sara who was sitting on the bed, and reading Surah Ar-Rahman, a chapter of quran, which one should read in morning.

'I think Allah has already forgiven for my sins, because he has made my life beautiful by giving me my jungli Billi, if he isn't pleased with me then I must me living a miserable life' Adnaan's heart confessed and he looked towards his hands which were still raised in air in the form of a cup.
