Raisha felt her heart breaking seeing the daughter of her best friend in grief. She could feel her grief, but it wasn't the time to be weak. The young girl was in the room with some ladies from the neighborhood. Raisha knew that her relatives weren't there.

She sat near the girl, whose eyes were red from crying "Ain..." She called her. The girl looked at her for a second, Raisha pulled her into a hug. Ain felt her heart wrenching, she had no one in this world anymore, who she could call the family. She didn't know what she would be without her parents.
She was in college, when they got into an accident. It was with a truck, and they couldn't survive it. The truck driver was alive, but he too was in a serious condition.

"Come with me, sweetheart!" Raisha said, all while trying to soothe Ain.
Ain shook her head "No...." Ain said, her tears were falling on Raisha's neck.

"Listen to me, I can't leave you here, dear. Please agree. '' Raisha said, making Ain look at her. No matter how much Ain denied, she didn't have any other option. She couldn't survive alone, she was a girl who needed her mother for everything.

After 2 days , Raisha and Hamdaan headed back with Ain. They had packed all the essentials Ain would need and le a er locking the house. Moving away was painful for Ain, she had no way to describe her pain or let it out.

Raisha made sure to keep Ain beside her all the time, but Ain was still a bit wary about Hamdaan. She found him a bit scary. It wasn't like he had said something to her, but the way he held himself or the guards which surrounded him scared her.

After reaching home in Peshawar, Ain looked at everything with apprehension.

The place was more like a mansion, there were guards surrounding the property.

Raisha showed Ain her room and asked her to rest. Hamdaan had le right a er dropping them as he had some things to check on. In the evening, she was sitting in the lounge area waiting for Raisha to come back, who had gone to the kitchen to inform the cook about dinner. Ain felt herself tensing up, just as she saw Hamdaan entering the mansion. He came near her, and asked about Raisha’s whereabouts. "She is in the kitchen, uncle." Ain said with a tense look on her face.

Hamdaan knew that the girl was scared of him and he didn't want that. It was going to make his wife really unhappy and he had also taken a liking for the young girl. He knew that Raisha's wish for a daughter was filled with Ain coming here.

"Okay." Hamdaan said with a smile, and seeing him smile made Ain relax a little.

Just then, Raisha came back.
"You are back! Go freshen up, I will go and get you, your tea." Raisha said with a smile to Hamdaan and he le for his room.

Ain was still looking at Hamdaan's back, not sure if she really saw him smile.

"You know, there is no need to be scared of him. I know he looks scary, but he would always be a guarding figure when it comes to you. I have always wanted a daughter and now seeing you, it's like Allah has fulfilled my wish " Raisha said touching her cheek. She adored the sweet girl, who looked more like a doll with her deep brown eyes and hair, her skin smooth and milky. Ain smiled so ly. She was really thankful for their love.
