She finally wiped her tears covering her face with her hands sighing loudly she was tired... tired of crying because nobody was there to comfort her...

She meekly nodded following Burhan who smile lightly trying to cheer her up...
"Khana khaya tha..."Burhan asked her as he drive towards his home looking at her who nodded lightly...
