My dear readers, here is an early update, I have no assignments, or any research work to do neither any shopping this weekend so I thought why not to spend my lazy weekend by updating new chapters. Here it is, enjoy!

FLASHBACK

EHTESHAMM'S POV

I am sitting in my spot in this park, which is my hiding place from my worries from that miserable life I am spending in that house which is owned by my mother, today I got beat up again by that man why? Just because I accidentally spill coffee on the table, so I ran away from there and came here to get some peace, I am sitting here watching the sun going down, so many beautiful colors spread across the sky, I folded my arms around myself to keep myself a bit warm from this cold breeze of November I zipped my jacket and looked at the sky again.

"You are hurt" I heard a soft voice from my left

I looked at her, there was standing a girl, wearing a pink frock with white lace looking me with brown eyes and brown hairs tied up in a high pony tail holding a small white rabbit in her arms

"No, I am not hurt" I said and looked away

"OH yes you are, look there is blood on your forehead" she said, pointing her little finger to my bleeding head, I didn't say anything, this was the first time anyone here had ever talked to me in this park.

"Here, take it, " she said, handing me a handkerchief

I looked at her and take that handkerchief from her hand and wipe the blood from my mouth and forehead

"Can I sit here with you I am exhausted by walking that long, " she said and I nodded

She plopped down beside me and takes a long breath

"Assalam O Alikum, my name is Mahi and I am five years old I am here with my parents to visit dado she lives here, what is your name?" she said but before I could answer her she continued

"Do you know I was looking for his parents, but I can't find them, he was so lonely down there, sitting under a tree just like you" she said and I looked at her again then at the rabbit in her arms

I opened my mouth to say something, but she beat me again

"Why don't you help me find his parents?"

"Okay, lets go, " I said after a while and stood up and help her up to stand we both started walking," where did you find him" I asked her

"Near the swing where I was with Bhai "she said

"Did you look around for any rabbit hole there?" I asked

"Um... no I was just looking for two big rabbits" she answered

"Okay, let's go and look around the swings" I said and we both headed towards the swing area, we both started looking for a rabbit hole and after roaming around, we found a rabbit hole near a large rock Mahi let go on a rabbit and he jumped inside that hole.

"There see we found his home, " she said, grinning ear to ear

"Do you want to sit with me for a while" she asked

I nodded

We both climbed on a tree and sat on a branch from where we could see the sun set clearly,

"Thank you for helping me today, I am feeling so happy right now you know today is a friendship day and I gave this friendship band to all my friends here I have so many friends do you want to be my friend?" she asked me, before I could reply she took out a band from her pocket and tied it to my wrist
