Zoya POV's:
today is christmas and iam here making breakfast for everyone while they are still drooling in sleep. i have already kept gifts for them in a place which only they knew but thankfully i know it too. for each of them i have kept a gift in a place secretly known and owned by them but let the secret inflow to me. " hahaha!! i guess everyone will be surprised by it." " well i hope so..." i sighed. i wasnt good at this. I heard some noise from upstairs by the time i was finished with cooking. well, it now got more louder and clearer. it was like some shoutings. i quickly ran upstairs towards the noise. it was non other than my darling sister, the earliest to wake up in the six. but why is she shouting and waking up the whole world? i barged in her room and was soon accompanied by a few figures which was of women.
ME: what happend humeira? why did you wake up these poor babies?
H: baaji... see...there's a gift here...wow!!!!
ME: uhhh... so what?
I said stammering.
H: oh come on baaji, its a gift that too today is christmas, so what do you think it means?
ME: what?
H: it means that someone has kept this gift for me. cool right? someone gifted me!!!! wow!!! maybe this might be someone special...and wait how did he/she know my secret place. baaji you know right?my secret place?
ME: hhaaann...
H: likewise baaji...who do you think would have kept this gift for me?
' how much i tried to keep it for a surprise and...and i myself wanted to tell them, what will i do now?' i sighed.
ME: how will i- i i know?
H:hmmm...baaji accept it na its you who had kept this gift.
ME: no...no why would i gift you all?
H: hahaha !!! baaji i got you. you yourself admitted that you have kept for all of us!!
Before i could respond, i heard a series of squeals and a load of footsteps rush outside the room.i turned to see the triple N's rush to their rooms.
ME: okay i did this. but- but i wanted to surprise by saying it myself.
N1: arrey what surprise will be there if you say it yourself. this was surprise.
She said while the three made their way into the room.
ME: really?
N2: really!!
N3: but i couldnt find my present? where is it?
N1&2: yes even i couldnt find it.
ME: its in the place where you people keep you personal diaries.
N1&2&3: zoe this is not fair. how can you? i will not leave you
ME: let me see, now go get your gifts.
T: what with this gift going on here? why are you all shouting like anything? you people woke me up from my beauty sleep. iam going have dark circles.
Tannu said entering inside the room while still rubbing her eyes.
H: ha..!! now comes the sleepy head.
T: oh shut up humi. by the way what were people talking.
H: arrey tannu darling go check in that secret place of yours for a gift.
T: gift? what nonsense? who would have given me a gift?
I was about to respond when humi stopped me and winked at me
H: ya allah! as if you dont know. it must be some admirer of yours. we saw the name card and it was written ' one of you prince charmings who is waiting for you to come.'
T: what!?!?! my prince charming...!!!!!
She took a run to her room but stopped abruptly at the door and said " how do you know that i got a present?".
ME: as you see i woke up early as usual so came to wish you a happy christmas and thats when i saw this little gift sorry not little but huge gift of yours.
With that she ran excitedly to her room while me and humi hi-fived eachother laughingly and soon were joined with the triple N's with gifts in their hands.
T: guys!!! see what i have got...!!!! this is definetly my admirer. i think he will be very handsome as his choice of gift is very beautiful.
H: no i think he would be more beautiful like in gay as his choice of gift is 'beautiful'!!
T: hey!!
ME: there is nothing i scolding her tannu.had you paid a little more attention to what she said previously you would have found out that there was no secret admirer.
T: huh?
ME: oho!! she had said you to go search in you secret place and how would anyone know that except for me, so obviously who would have kept the gift...?
T: zoyyy...
" Yaaayyy!!!!!" we heard a male voice screech.
N2: Now lets see what this bhaijaan has got.
We all went towards his room and saw him dancing in his nightdress with a gift in his hands.
A: guys see what i have got. some unknown admirer of mine has sent me this present. see how beautifully it is packed. i guess the girl too must be beautiful!!!
he said in a girly tone. and then went on a rambling about the non-existent admirer.
H: MR. ayaan AK!
He looked at us to see everyone having a gift in one of their hands and the other hadn pointing towards me and i was bowing in front of them for their credits to me.
A: this is unbelievable !!!! it cant be you. it shouldnt be you. oh no then all of my wishes and dreams are of waste.you spoilt my mood and you will pay for this madam zoya. i will not leave you...YOU!!!...
He started chasing me and was soon joined by everyone. we all laughed and our day has begun.

Asad's POV:
I reached the french airport at 10 in morning. it was nice to be back and i felt so energetic that there was no travel weariness in me. i came out the luggage section and made my way towards the entrance when i heard my name being called. it was familiar but i dint have time to look towards the source of the noise. i have to go my house and look into the task at the hand. and moreover it was christmas so i have to send gifts to my dear lovelies.

Narrator's POV:
Anwar and zeenat who had wanted to suprise the girls had ended up in the same flight as asad but dint see him in the flight. but as soon they both got out of the luggage section, they saw him making his way towards the entrance. they tried calling him but there was no response from his side not even a single head turn. but nonetheless they decided to give him one when they get to home as they were staying along side asad's house. they were the only people who knew why asad's house is built in strange yet elegant way.

Narrator's POV:
It was nearly the late evening and everyone had tried out their outfits which were none other than zoya's presents for them. even kaka got a present but in his case it was a book he had always wanted. as zoya gifted them the dress they all could never refuse to wear it. and zoya has cleverly got tannu a dress which covered her whole body yet stylish and fashionable as she knew that they were going to a big party and that there would be may youngsters like them who would be openly drooling on her if she dressed in any handkercheif and zoya wouldnt be able to stop herself at that point of time and moreover tannu wouldnt like if it wasnt fashionable and showy so zoya had to choose with that in her mind too.
it was 4 and the party was at 7. so zoya had 3 hours of time. so she thought of going to the dargah- La Grande Mosque-
__________________________________________________________________________________
Zoya's POV:
Me: kaka iam going to the dargah, please tell everyone that i will be back just on time?
T: no atleast half hour before time.
She said stomping her feet and walking towards me from her room. i nodded cautiously looking at her and quickly slipped a bye and went out the load myself on my bike.
I wore a white and white kurti with a bright red dupatta as i was going to a holy place where i could be myself. i decided to tie the dupatta around my around and mask my face so that only my eyes were visible. i did it actually because i dint want my hair to fly out in all directions. in jeans it was okay to be a ghostie but in kurti it wouldnt suit well and i dont want disrespect the culture in which i have been brought up.
I drove to the mosque which was quite a long distance but not much. and as soon as i stepped into the mosque' gates, i felt a strange pull which was quite rare yet frequent these days. this was all so new to me that i dint know what to do with these feelings and emotions. how many times i get this feeling but still it remains the same like the first time. i just want to push this thing aside as well as i want to feel this to every bit. it sent me jitters. i felt that i was close to the source of the strange feeling, so i just frantically started searching. in all this i forgot to remove the dupatta that was around my head. i searched and searched but couldnt reach my goal so finally i just gave up but while i was at the edge point of giving up, i saw a tall, broad shouldered man clad in black and black kurta maybe an indian talking carefreely to his friends and laughing. his back was facing me so i couldnt see his face but could figure out what he was doing from his actions. i wanted to go near him and check whether the pull was from him but i dint the courage to do so but some where deep in my heart i felt that it was right. i wanted to ignore all this so i just put on a smile and went to go inside.

Asad's POV:
I wanted to go to the mosque as i wanted to start my mission with a good start. i got the perferct timing at 4pm when ryan and rahim will also be free. so i called them to accompany me to the dargah. i knew that something good was going to happen and that mere thought gave me jitters running through me.
i went to the mosque and waiting for my friends to arrive. and they finally made an appearance. i started scolding them for not being punctual and then we made a good catch up on the time i was in india and just like that we started talking and me forgetting about the main motive i came here. after a good few minutes of talking i heard a noise of some particular bike. ' of all the noises of various vehicles, only this particular bike's sound would reach your ears.' i scolded myself. but from the moment the bike came here, there settled a restlessness in my mind. it was very disturbing but still i managed to laugh and talk with my friends. i was fidgeting like a nervous teenager and looking here and there which went unnoticed by my friends. thank allah for that.
I suddenly felt a pull right from my backside and i couldnt suddenly turnaround as it would be awkward. but then it became very stronger and tighter and the all of a sudden i felt i ebbing away so i could care less about any awkwardness. i just turned around in that instant and what my eyes followed was unimaginable. it was a figure clad in white moving inside the mosque. my legs started to move on its own, before my mind could even register. i tride to reach the figure and the nearer i got the clearer the figure got. i could see it was a woman. i was just at the back of her when suddenly a strong breeze blew against us which made her dupatta to raise up in the air and flow on my face covering it the whole.
The dupatta was a translucent that i could see her stop and turn her head and face me. i started to remove the dupatta from above by head and kept on lowering till my eyes were uncovered. i looked up at her.
OUR EYES MET,THE WORLD STOPPED.
