Synthesis of Scattered Pieces ✔️

"But I don't want to attend the event." She muttered in a defeated tone.

"But you have to! I want your performance at any cost." The assistant professor announced his decision making Shifa pissed off. She didn't want to attend the farewell party. And she tried her last chance.

"Sir, the party will last for late-night and my papa will not allow me," Shifa told and the professor shrugged like it wasn't a problem.

"Don't worry about that, I'll talk to Anwar." With this order, he left Shifa with no other way. He was very well known to Anwar so, his demand holds power to refresh Anwar's decision.

"What happened?" As soon as Shifa stepped out from the chamber Afifa asked.

''I don't wanna attend farewell party, I want to take rest and play Mario but he is saying that I have to come to sing a song." Shifa huffed and Afifa shrugged.

"Now you can't do anything." Sitting beside Shifa Afifa announced.

"What will I do in that party without you? Why are you going Affo? PleaseDon't go, please..." Shifa pouted because going to meet her grandmother who lives in another city, and she won't be in Delhi for next three days.

"Oh come on, Shifa it's a party, not punishment." Afifa rolled her eyes.

Who doesn't like parting?

Who doesn't like enjoying in gathering?

Who doesn't like to get ready to attend a party?

Shifa!!

Many of her friends call her weird but she is not! She is definitely different! A peaceful soul who like to stay away from crowd, who like to stay away from commotion, who like to be natural instead of doing make up and grooming herself unlike other girls.

"Assalamualaikum."

"Walekum as-salam,''  Daniyal answered the greeting while taking his seat beside her co-host.

" khairyat? Aapka chehra bata raha hai ki koi masla paish aaya hai!" Daniyal asked making her surprised.

(Is everything fine? Your facial expressions are saying that something is wrong!)

'Deni, how do you understand everything without telling? How could he read my face?' Shifa asked herself, it wasn't new but still surprising for her.

"Aap kuch bataogi?" He asked seriously and Shifa nodded.

(Will you like to share.)

"I informed mummy everything. Including my job and... And about your ammi's wish to come my home." Shifa told him in a whisper and Deni sighed.

"Better! At least one of your burdens is off."

"Not really, Deni, she is disappointed as well as angry with me. I can't handle her displease." Shifa's eyes filled with tears and Daniyal passed her a tissue. "What will be your papa's reaction?"

"I don't dare to face him... More than myself I'm scared for Mumma, how will papa treat her?" Without even thinking Shifa mumbled, but before Daniyal could reply their recording session was started and the conversation was stopped in between.

"Turn on the radio."

"C'mon mummy... Who listen radio in this era? If you want entertainment switch to Netflix." He rolled his eyes but his mother jerked her head.
