Allah will bring him out of the discomforts of the day of Resurrection."

The door opened and I was met with the same deep grey eyes.

I quickly lowered my gaze.

I moved a little, giving him space to go. He flashed a tiny smile and made his way out of the house.

Why was he here?

"Assalamualaikum!" I greeted Mamma as I saw her standing in front of me. I didn't notice her because the man was standing in front of me.

"Walaikum assalam!" She replied. I entered the living room and plopped down on the sofa.

"Take off your Abaya first, Inaya." Mamma ordered gently.

"Hmm."

"Inaya!"

"Two minutes, mamma! Please!" I don't know why but i was feeling tired.

"Mamma?" I called after a minute.

"What?"

"Why was he here?" I asked, casually, referring to the man I saw at the door.

"Oh! Uncle Nahid's son! He was asking about Gym to Adyaan." Mamma replied and sat on the single sofa.

I got up and went to my room. I removed my Abaya and simply laid on bed.

"Assalamualaikum, Sista!" Adyaan said entering the room.

"Walaikum assalam!" I said and sat on the bed, resting my back on backboard.

"Why are you so tired?" He asked as he took my trophy from the study table.

"Umm...I don't know!" I replied.

"Is this your last year's Trophy?" He asked, showing me the trophy.

"No, I won it before last year!" I said with a smile because I defeated two brightest students of our class when I won that Trophy.

"Are you sure?" He asked suspiciously.

"Yes! why?" I asked.

"I think it is mine!" He said taking another look at trophy.

"Huh? Why would I bring your Trophy in my room?" I asked.

"I don't know!" He said and kept the trophy back.

"Now, why did you came here?" I asked.

"Oh yeah!" He said as he sat beside me. But then he seemed to be in a deep thought.

"I forgot!" He exclaimed.

"Good!" I mocked.

"I forgot it because you started talking about your trophy!" He said.

"Me? you started it!" I replied.

"I-" I cut him off before our another argument began.

"Okay! I'm in no mood to fight with you! Tell me when you will remember it!" I said.

He just nodded and made his way to the door but came back again and stood beside me.

"What?" I asked

"I forgot to ask. How was your day with your friends?" He asked.

"It was good!" I replied with a smile.
