She slowly opened her eyes and sat up on the bed. She looked at her other side and Elam was sleeping there peacefully. He had woke up to read Fajr Salah but then he went back to sleep as it was Sunday today. She slowly moved away dovet from her and slowly got up from the bed while trying to make no sound to disturbed his sleep. She got into restroom and then cleaned herself up. She changed her clothes and walked out. She started walking towards room's door but before she opened the door she stopped in her tracks then walked back in. She walked towards him and sat down on bed next to him. She got hold of his hand and looked at it. His wound was still fresh and he hadn't even put any medicine or bandage on it. She sighed then stood up and walked toward side bed drawer to get medicine. She took it out medicine box and walked back towards him. Then she opened pain releif medicine and softly put medicine on his wound which was right in middle of his palm. After putting on medicine she put bandage on his hand softly while trying not woke him up or cause him pain. After finished doing his bandage she got up and put back the medicine then walked out.

Jannat nervously looked at closed door. She was standing in front of her father- in- law and mother- in -law's room. Mostly everyone was woke by this time but today was Sunday. Everyone was there in their rooms. She was double minded should she disturbed them or not. She took in deep breath to gained courage then softly knocked on the door but no one opened the door. She sighed and turned over to walk back when the room door opened. She looked back and there her mother in law was standing while smiling.

'Salam.' Jannat said

'Wasalam.' Mrs Malika replied cheerfully.

'I hope I am not disturbing.' Jannat said embarrassed.

'Off course not dear, you didn't disturb me at all. Come inside.' Mrs Malika said and pulled her inside the room. She entered in the room and her father in law was sitting on sofa while reading quran.

'Salam.' Janant greeted her father in law and he greeted her back while smiling.

'Jannat you are so shy?' Mrs Malika said smiling and Jannat lookeddown.

'You know Farooq she is asking that is she disturbing me or not.' Mrs Malika said then they both start laughing whereas Jannat embarrassed looked down.

'Jannat dear we are never busy. Specially in this age. You know we are old.' Mr Farooq said

'Hyy I am not old. I am still young and happening. 'Mrs Malika said in her defend and glared at her husband.

'Off Course you are still young. I am sorry I was only talking about me.' Mr Farooq said whereas Jannat lovingly looked at their cute fight.

'Better. Thats like a my good husband.' Mrs Malika said and they start laughing. Then Mrs Malika turned back to Jannat.

'Yeah to my friend's house. ' Elam said and Jannat nodded her head in yes then walk and sat down on bed. That was good, it will give me time to make dessert. Janant thought happily.

'When you will be back.' Jannat asked after a while

'Maybe around 11:00.' Elam said

'What? Thats too late' Jannat screamed and stood up from her place while Elam confused looked back at her.

'Late for What?' Elam asked and Jannat came back to her senses.

'Oh nothing.' Jannat said quickly and sat back on bed then quickly picked up the book from her night stand which she was reading last night and put it in front of her face. Elam looked at her weird then shrugged his shoulder and got back to his hair.

'God, that was close. Stupid me. Becaue of me he might have found out about the surprise.' Jannat mutter undet her breath then sighed in releif.

'Have you put this bandage on my hand.'Elam askes after a while and Janant looked up at him. There eyes met though mirror and Janant nodded her head in yes. Then quickly put book in front her face again. She was still too embarrassed with her last night behaviour and still don't want to answer his questions.
