Sunday was finally here and the happy faces that surrounded Holly House three weeks ago walked around sombre.

Mr Shekhar smiled to himself 'Mrs Gill, Mr Kapoor what did I tell you by the time that they leave we will have to be pulling the apart...look at them such a beautiful day and they all wear such sad faces' 'you were right Mr Shekhar...I hope the friendship groups that they have made here will continue to live on in the future' 'oh they will...you just wait and watch'

Asad kept hold of Zoya's hand throughout the whole morning, they did everything together, when it came to preparing the food for the barbeque the two off them sat and took charge of the salad making sure that they did not split up.

With the help of the cook the students had prepared everything they needed to, the chicken and lamb had been seasoned, the salad was made, the rolls and been buttered and all the deserts had been refrigerated.

'Zoya, let's go and get ready, Mr Shekhar has asked for all of us to gather around before we start the barbeque' Zoya stood up and followed Humera inside 'what you going to wear?' she said looking through the top of her suit case 'I have worn everything in here a million times already...I guess this dress will have to do' Zoya also pulled out a full length black dress, it was plain with a sequenced neck line.

On Humera's insistence Zoya applied a little lip gloss and some eyeliner, she straightened her hair and to finish it all off she wore the pearl around her neck. 'Masha'Allah...Zoya you look beautiful' Zoya raised her eyebrow at her 'beautiful...Humera since when have you ever used an adjective like that to describe me' Zoya was right she never dressed up in any way for anyone to call her beautiful, she was always in her jeans, on the rare occasion she would wear skirts or dresses. 'Maybe not before now...but seriously you look stunning, Asad is going to be left speechless'.

When the girls came out the boys had already started up the fire and started cooking, Mrs Gill, Mr Shekhar and Mr Kapoor were also chipping in.

Everything around Asad froze, it was as if time had ceased and stood still. Zoya looked up at him and felt the heat of his gaze all over her, his eyes conveyed silent messages that were enough to make her face turn bright pink.

The minute she reached him he wrapped on hand around her tiny waist and pulled her closer, pushing her hair off her shoulder with his other hand Asad leaned in closer to her ear 'you look beautiful Zoya, like an Arabian Queen' he whispered and at the same time places a soft kiss on her neck just below her ear. Zoya felt her body go hot and cold at the same time, keeping her shy eyes lowered she stepped back and thanked him.

Mr Shekahr addressed everyone sitting around him.

'I cannot thank you all for coming here and making the last three weeks so amazing. I hope you have enjoyed every minute as I have done. I know you are sad as this is your last evening together and by 9.00am tomorrow you will have boarded your coaches and left...but that doesn't mean it is the end. I hope that you have found and made some strong friendship groups and will stay in contact. This last night is to celebrate the hard work you have put in, you guys put in a lot of effort and hard work and you took up every challenge you faced. I hope that sometime in the future you would consider coming back to visit me and the people who help run Holly House...ok now that I have said my little piece I guess we can all start to get some food ready'

As everybody got busy cooking, eating and serving the DJ arrived along with a local band. Once they had set up they started to play soft music in the background, the whole ambience started to change, as the afternoon turned into night the music got louder and the boys and girls finally started to come alive.

Shona, Rajni and David made their way to the middle of the ground and started dancing, it didn't take long for everyone else to join in. 'You want to dance?' Zoya's eyes widened as she shook her head 'no way...I can't dance...seriously me on the dance floor equals disaster' 'all you need to do is follow my lead...I won't make you go crazy and break out into some crazy hip hop move' Zoya withdrew her hand 'Asad please don't make me...look if you don't believe me ask Humera, she will tell you what an embarrassment I am'. Asad walked around her and held her in his arms 'I won't let you fall, or wiggle or anything that you think will embarrass you...it our last night together...and I am going to dance with you...so move it' Asad kissed the back of her head and then held her hand in his, leading her to the dance floor.

Asad kept to his word he held Zoya so close it was impossible to tell if there were two bodies or one, after the music picked up beat Asad held on to her hand and made her spin out and when he pulled her back in he twirled her letting her fall against his chest. Zoya smiled and then started laughing 'you trying to get me to dance?' 'you are dancing' he said with a wink. Zoya had never had so much fun, after Haider, Humera, Rahul and Anna joined them she found herself being swung and twirled from one person to the other, after a little dance with Rahul and Haider Zoya fell back into Asad's arms, and to her these very arms had become home.

It was almost 11 and even though Mr Shekhar had said that no one was allowed out after 10 he made an exception 'just don't wonder off to far into the woods...and try and make it back before sunrise' he joked. Mr Shekhar gave out a few torches 'although most of the nearby areas are well lit, if you do decide to go out further you might want to take these with you'.

'Where are we all going?' Humera said as she jumped up 'I don't know about any of you...but me and Asad are going that way...so see you guys later' Zoya held her hand out to Asad which he took 'so rude...you don't want to come with us?' Humera said pouting 'nope...and am sure Haider would like to spend some crazy last moments with you too'.

'Where are we going?' Asad said as the continued to walk 'to the hill top' she said. Asad stopped 'you want to go all that way...the last time you went you didn't stop moaning' Zoya turned around 'I know...but I promise I won't moan today...please Asad...there is a reason' 'ok'.

They finally made it to the hill top and sat down, Asad looked out into the open and all that he could see was darkness, there were small pockets of lights scattered indicating that there were small communities residing down below but other than that there was nothing 'Zoya...what are we doing here...I can just about see my own hands'. Zoya pulled out the torch and switched it on 'there now you can see your hands and my face' Asad chuckled 'ok...but you still haven't told me what we are doing here'.

Keeping the torch held in one hand Zoya shuffled closer to him and then for the first time initiated a kiss, Asad placed his hand on her back and pushed her that much closer to continue kissing her back 'because you wanted to kiss me' he said against her lips Zoya started laughing 'no...well yes but that's not the only reason...this was the place when I realised what it is I felt for you, the place where we met that man that I believe came because I asked Allah for guidance...this is the place where we came together as one...and if this is our last night together then where better to spend it...and sitting here looking out to what is nothing but darkness, that is where the sun will rise from and I want to see the sun rise with you...I want to remember this night and the morning to come forever Asad'

Asad cupped her face 'did I ever tell you how much I love you' 'no...I don't think you have' she said with a twinkle in her eye 'well then it's about time I did' 'I agree'. Asad held her face close to his and then slowly moved forwards making Zoya lie back on the cool grass beneath. Asad positioned himself so he was comfortably lying next to her and then kissed her tenderly, as their kiss deepened Zoya rolled him over and lay on top of him making sure that their lips never parted.

Asad lay with his arm out letting Zoya rest her head against it. 'The minute you get back home, you tell your parents about us...' 'I will, and even I don't my sister will make sure I do...well at least the majority of our next academic year matches...so I can come to see you over Christmas and you can come over Easter' 'And then I can come to your graduation'.

Staring into the night sky that was filled with the most shiniest stars Asad and Zoya talked until the first ray of the sun finally rose. Siting up hand in hand they watch the sun in all its glory light up the sky and give beauty to the valley around them, they had never witnessed anything of its kind, they were left totally mesmerised by Allah's natural creations.

As they stood up they looked deep into each other's eyes, Zoya placed her hand over his heart 'this is mine...and will forever remain' Asad placed his hand over hers and then put it against her own chest 'and this is mine...I love you Zoya' Zoya kissed him one last time before they went back to camp.

By 8 everyone was standing outside with their bags and belongs all packed and ready. The coach drivers loaded the bags whilst everyone else spent their last hour together. Zoya kept feeling her stomach summersault, as the time quickly approached nine her nerves started to get the better if her. Asad had one hand around her waist and was holding her close to him and he wasn't planning on letting go until the very last minute.

'Ok guys...let's make a move we are ready' Mr Kapoor shouted out. Zoya looked at him with all colour drained but before he could say anything Haider jumped in to hug her and say good bye. One after the other everyone came to say bye to Zoya and the rest of the girls. Asad was amongst the last ones to board the coach, Zoya's grip on his hand was so tight that her skin had turned white.

Asad turned around and cupped her face 'you ok?' Zoya shook her head 'don't go...please' she said as she tried to stop herself from crying 'I am not going anywhere Zoya...I will see you soon...promise, you look after yourself and remember I want a call a text every single day...I love you' at this moment in time Asad didn't really care who was looking he moved forwards and placed a soft kiss against her lips causing a lot of whistling and clapping in the back ground. Zoya started laughing through her tears 'I love you too' she said before she kissed him again 'now go...before I make you run way with me' Asad winked at her and ran towards his coach.

As the driver started the coach and pulled away Zoya let out the breath she had been holding onto, she waved her final goodbye and turned around to face her own journey back home.

Zoya and Humera went flying on to Ghaffur and Razia's arms. The two of them held their daughters close 'Shukar hai Allah ka you are finally home, we have missed you so much' Razia said as she kissed them both.

Zoya and Humera went to their rooms to shower and change, they were more than just exhausted. When they came down they found Razia laying the table with all their favourite foods 'Ammi...this looks yum' Humera said jumping on her seat and starting straight away 'Humera, at least wait for your Abu to come' 'Ammi I can't I am too hungry and all this yummy food...I am not waiting' Razia shook her head and Zoya just rolled her eyes 'Allah only knows where all that food goes, you eat like a horse and are skinnier than a needle'.

Humera started coughing she looked up at Zoya and narrowed her eyes 'that is so evil...how can you compare me to that animal...after what it did to me...it pains me to even hear its name' Zoya started laughing 'what's so funny?' Razia asked not understanding the joke 'nothing Ammi...your sweet Zoya is just rubbing salt on some very painful and sore wounds'.

Zoya couldn't each much all she wanted to do was sleep 'Ammi, if you don't mind can I go to bed, I can catch up with you in the morning' 'of course beta, you go ahead...Humera I think you should join your sister, we will catch up after breakfast'

Zoya tucked herself into bed and picked up her phone to call Asad

'Hey, I was just about to call you' he said smiling

'Well I beat you to it, how are you?'

'I am ok, and you?'

'Tired...about to nod off...how are your parents?'

'They are well, Ammi isn't home she has gone on a conference, will be back tomorrow...when do you plan to talk to your parents?'

'Tomorrow insha'Allah...I'll text you in the morning...just in case you are still sleeping'

'Ok...sweet dreams...and Zoya...I love you'

Zoya felt a little flutter in her stomach 'I love you too Asad...good night'

Zoya started to feel extremely nervous she wasn't sure how to approach the subject, she sent up a silent prayer before she closed her eyes and let sleep take over.

By the time Zoya and Humera woke up and came down it was past eleven 'Ya Allah...finally I thought you two were never going to wake up' Razia said 'Ammi where is Abu?' Zoya asked 'he is right here beta' Zoya turned around to see Ghaffur come out of his study 'Assalam O Alaikum Abu' she said hugging him tightly. Ghaffur kissed the top of her head 'how is my princess?' 'she is fine' 'Abu...you forget you have another princess sitting here too' Humera said making him laugh 'really...then why is she not here giving me a hug too' Humera ran up to her dad and hugged him, holding both his daughters in his arms Ghaffur sat down.

Razia came into the living room to see her beautiful family all cuddled up together on the sofa 'Do you two not want any breakfast...although its nearly lunch time now?' 'No Ammi, not just yet...come sit we have so much to tell you' Razia took Humera's hand that she held out and sat next to her.

'So, how was it...the glow on your faces says that you had a lot of fun and enjoyed being there' 'Ammi, where do we start...it really was the best three weeks of our lives...' Humera and Zoya spent the next hour and a half talking about everything they did, what they liked and the friends they made.

'Zoya...kahan khoye hui ho beta...you seem miles away' Razia said noticing how quiet she had suddenly become 'only a few hundred miles away Ammi...' Humera covered her mouth as Zoya glared at her Razia and Ghaffur looked between the two of them 'what do you mean...Zoya is there something you want to tell us?' Zoya started to feel a cold sweat come over 'Ammi...I...' not being able to talk Zoya stood up, it was the first time she stood in front of her parents looking so nervous, so much so that her hands started to shake. Feeling like an idiot Huemra got up and put her arm around her "sorry...it just came out...its ok Zoya, tell them' 'tell them what?' Ghaffur said as he stood up.

Zoya looked into his eyes and felt her stomach churn 'Abu...I...at camp...I mean...' Ghaffur walked towards her, he looked at Humera who understood that she needed to move away. When she did Ghaffur took her shaking hands into his 'Zoya, you have never hesitated in saying anything to us beta...is something wrong, did something happen' 'no...no Abu...nothing is wrong...I'm sorry I just don't know how to tell you'.

Razia looked deep into her daughters eyes as she stood in front of her Abu, she came to recognise the reason behind her hesitation. Razia smiled to herself before she got up and joined them. She placed her hand around Zoya's shoulder 'Ghaffur, I think what your princess is trying to say is that she thinks she has found her prince...am I right Zoya?' Zoya held her breath and turned towards Razia, Razia saw her face starting to turn the faintest of colours 'Ammi...I' 'is that true Zoya...what Razia just said?' Zoya closed her eyes before she looked back at her Abu 'y...yes'.

Everyone stood silent for a few seconds, but for Zoya those seconds of silence felt like a life time. Razia and Ghaffur looked at one another and secretly conveyed a message that they both seemed to have understood. Ghaffur cupped Zoya's face 'don't look so scared beta...will you not tell us who he is?' Zoya smiled as her eyes filled up with tears, she couldn't discibe the relief that washed over her as Ghaffur kissed her forehead and hugged her dearly.

'Ya Allah...I can't believe it...Zoya you really found someone...if anything I thought it would be Humera coming back proclaiming to be head over heels in love' Zoya started laughing as she saw Humera put her hands on her hips and pout 'Ammi...you might just want to turn around and ask her' Razia looked at her wide eyed and then turned around 'you too...what kind of a summer camp was this...wahan enjoy karne ge the ya date karne'. All four of them started laughing and then stood hugging one another.

Zoya sat down next to Ghaffur 'don't be shy Zoya...you need to tell me about this boy' he said reassuring her that she could openly talk to him and her Ammi.

'His name is Asad, he is a second year medical student and lives in Delhi...he is really nice...and even whilst we were there becoming good friends he already had told his parents about me' 'Zoya I don't doubt how nice this boy must be...he really must be special for you to like him...for you to have let him close enough to you to befriend you in such a way'.

Ghafuur agreed with Razia 'Who are his parents, what do they do?' Ghaffur asked Abu, they are the owners of Khan Group of Industries, their names are...' Dilshad and Rashi Ahmed Khan' Ghaffur said finishing her sentence. Zoya looked at him wide eyes 'Abu...you know them' Ghaffur couldn't stop smiling 'of course I know them beta, Rashid is a good friend of mine, he is also a business associate...I can't believe it...Razia you know Dilshad' 'yes I do' Razia had her mouth covered wih her hands as she conituned to look on in disbelief 'Zoya...look how small the world is...I just met Rashid a few months back...in fact I am due to go to meet with him and other associates at the end of the month'.

Zoya couldn't believe what she was hearing 'Abu...really...does that mean you are ok with Asad?' Ghaffur hugged his daughter 'even if he wasn't Rashid's son, I would have been ok with him Zoya, I know that no matter what my little princess would never chose anything or anyone who isn't right for her'.

Zoya was over the moon she couldn't believe this was happening, her parents knew his, they were friends and of all the people she fell in love with was him.

Ghaffur pulled out his mobile phone 'I am going to call Rashid right now' he said unable to stop smiling. Humera came running to Zoya and hugged her 'what did I tell you Prince Charming...see it is just like a fairy tale' 'Humera...tell Ammi about Hiader' 'and what burst your bubble...Haider can wait...' Zoya hit her over the shoulder 'Humera that is so rude...Ammi...Humera needs to talk to you...I mean tell you about someone too' Humera looked at Zoya, giving her and exaggerated smile she elbowed her in the stomach 'oww...you cow...now actually you horse' Humera turned around and poked her tongue out to her.

'Humera stop' Razia called out as she was about to run off Humera turned around 'jee Ammi' 'drama queen, you can stop looking like that I know you too well...so what is his name?' Humera who was looking down pretending to look all shy shot her head up and started smiling and swaying at the same time 'I tell you this girl is impossible...no shame' 'why shame...Ammi mere un ka naam Haider Ali hai...so cute' Zoya fell of her chair laughing and Razia just looked at her daughter as if she had gone mad 'Ya Khuda, yeh larki kya cheez hai?'.

After a long hour Ghaffur came back to join his beautiful ladies 'what did Rashid Bhai say?' 'Asad had already told them about Zoya, he was talking to them just now too...when I told him that Zoya was my daughter...Razia you should have heard him he was ecstatic. Zoya could feel butterflies in her stomach, her cheeks started to turn a shade darker as Ghaffur continued. 'Zoya, it is Asad's twentieth Birthday on the 10th and Rashid has invited us all to his party and has asked us to stay with them for a few days as guests'. There was no words that could match the happiness she felt, all she could do was run into her father's hold and shed a few tears 'shh...I am proud of you beta, never forget that...but Zoya you have to keep it a secret...you can't tell Asad we are coming , Rashid wants you be his surprise birthday gift'.

Straight after they were going to come back from Delhi Zoya and Humera were to resume with their studies, they were both going into their third and final years of studying 'I want both of you to spend the next two days making sure you have everything ready for the new academic year, there won't be much time after we come back' 'jee Ammi, on to it now' Zoya said dragging Humera behind her.

Zoya felt bad as she kept on having to lie to him saying she still hadn't spoken to her parents. 'Zoya it's been almost five days now...why are you so scared...if they say no...I will come and beg them to say yes...Zoya you have to tell them...or is it' Asad stopped 'or what Asad?' 'Is it because you have changed your mind' Zoya's eyes instantly watered over on hearing what he had just said 'As...Asad how can you think that...No...look just give me two more days and I promise you it will all be out in the open...I love you Asad and that is one thing that is embedded in me...so deep that if you ever tried to take it away you would be taking my life with you'.

Humera and Zoya sat behind their parents 'will you to stop with all your giggling...and Humera put your phone away did you not hear the stewardess, we are about to take off' their short flight to Delhi was filled with excitement Humera was finally going to meet Haider and Zoya was going to meet Asad and his family.

Asad came down to find the house being decorated a little more than he had anticipated 'Ammi, I thought I said I didn't want a big thing...what's with all these decorations' Dilshad cupped the side of her sons face 'you are my only son...and as for as long as I live this is exactly how we are going to celebrate your birthday...plus we have a surprise birthday present for you' Asad hugged his mum 'I hate surprises...you know that...what is it' 'you could always try guessing' 'hmm...no way you bought me that bike, the one me and Abu were looking at the other day' Dilshad started laughing at her sons beaming face 'I don't know...I guess you will have to wait and find out...just one more day' 'you mean another 9 hours...that's when my birthday will officially start'.

Rashid waved at Ghaffur as he saw him come through the arrivals gate. Zoya stood trying not to shake as she waited for the two friends to stop hugging. 'Rashid, you know Razia...' 'Salaam Bhai' Razia greeted him 'Wasalaam, how are you...it has been so long' 'Alhamdulillah, am very well' 'Rashid this is my daughter Humera' Humera stepped forwards to greet him, Rashid placed his hand over her head and blessed her 'nice meeting you beta' 'And this is..' 'Zoya' he said finishing his sentence. Rashid stepped forward 'Assalaam O Aliakum uncle' Rashid cupped her face gently 'Wa Alaikun Assalaam beta...it is so good to finally have met you' Rashid places a soft kiss on her forehead 'come, let's go'.

Luckily for them Asad had gone to his college to pick up his timetable for the new year, which meant that Dilshad and Rashid could get Zoya and her family nicely settled before he came home and found out what was going on.

Dilshad met Razia and her two beautiful daughters, she was so happy to meet Zoya 'Masha'Allah, you are absolutely beautiful Zoya, just as Asad had described you, you know when he first told me about you I was surprised as Asad has never paid any girl any attention before, I thought maybe it was just a crush...you know being so close for three weeks you can build up feelings but they don't necessarily mean anything...when Asad came home and he told me everything that had happened, what I saw in his eyes was something I had never seen before...I don't know how long it takes for someone to fall in love, a day, a week, a year or maybe not even a life time is enough...I didn't want to doubt what he felt for you as he is my son, but I guess somewhere deep down I did...but not know...I can put my hand on my heart and truly say that my son loves you Zoya'

Zoya didn't know what to say, she felt extremely emotional. Razia placed her hand over Zoya's Dilshad as parents we have a right to be concerned and have doubts, everything has happened so fast, in a short space of time they became so close that they fell in love and then to top that...look at this coincidence, we knew each other, we have known each other for a long time. If today we are sitting her in front of you it's because it is what Allah willed, these two are destined to be together' Zoya couldn't stop the tears that escaped her eyes, both Dilshad and Razia hugged her.

'Zoya...Asad has just pulled up in the driveway...go to his room and hide' Zoya looked at Humera as if she had gone mad 'Humera...stop being so immature...what will aunty and uncle think' 'it was aunty and uncle's idea beta...go before he comes in' Dilshad said. Before Zoya could say anything or react she felt Humera dragging her across the hall and up the stairs.

When Asad came in he saw his parents sitting with some guest 'Asad, come here beta, I want you to meet my friend and business associate Mr Ghaffur and his wife Razia' Asad stepped forward and greeted them, he shook hand with Ghaffur and took blessings from Razia 'Abu, Haider is coming around later...we might head out for a bit' 'that's ok, why don't you go and freshen up, your Ammi is just setting the table for some tea'.

Asad walked into his room the minute he opened the door he stopped, he started to look around as if he could sense her presence. Zoya hid behind the curtain holding her mouth making sure that she didn't let a peak out. Asad closed the behind him, he took of his top and walked in to the bathroom. Zoya was left burning red firstly because she had been holding her breath, then she was trying to control her urge of rushing out to hug him and to top it he stood there in all his glory.

Asad kept washing his face with cold water, something inside him kept twisting, he looked up into the mirror and let out a gasp, he quickly turned around but there was no one there 'stop going mad Asad, she is not here' he said to himself.

Asad came out the bathroom and walked towards his cupboard to get a clean top out when he closed the door he saw her standing right there before him. Shaking his head a little he walked off. Zoya looked at him not believing he had just seen her and walked away 'unbelievable you're going on to become a neurosurgeon...you need your own head examined...talk about hallucinating' Zoya started laughing at him as he continued to talk to himself.

Zoya walked around him so the minute he turned around she was standing right in front of him again I am not a hallucination Asad...it's me...Zoya' Asad looked at her ' oh man...this is bad, I can't believe I am talking to a figment of my imagination...really you are here...in Delhi, in my house, in my room?' He said to what he though was an imaginary Zoya '...seriously Asad get some help' Asad was about to walk off when Zoya held her arm out, she tried to supress her laughter 'I am here in Delhi, in your house, in your room...I am real' Asad sucked in a breath he felt a cold wash over him, slowly picking his hand up he went to poke her but then stopped 'if you are real...then kiss me' Zoya looked at him with her mouth wide open 'Asad' 'if you are real, kiss me' he repeated. Thinking he had lost his mind Zoya started to step forward, with every step she took towards him he took one back until he hit the cupboard behind him.

As Zoya tip toed up and closed the gap between them Asad closed his eyes. Smiling at his child like face Zoya placed her lips onto his and kissed him softly. In an instant Asad opened his eyes Zoya started laughing and stepped back seeing his face, he stood there in total shock. Zoya turned around to run off when he caught her hand and pulled her back. Zoya fell against him making them both back on the bed 'I can't believe it is you...you are really here...' Zoya cupped the side of his face 'yes I am...am really here...' Asad didn't waste any more time thinking how, why and when he dived straight in and claimed her lips and kept them locked with his for as long as he could.

Zoya explained everything that happened from the moment she told her parents to the moment that Humera made her hide in his room 'this is unbelievable...so this is the surprise present Ammi was talking about...and those...I mean it's your parents that I just met downstairs?' 'Yes...come on they are all waiting for us' Asad and Zoya came out hand in hand, their smiles mirrored those of their parents who were waiting for them at the bottom of the stairs. As they hugged one another Asad heard his name being shouted out, Humera came running towards him and hugged him almost making him fall back 'I have to apologise for my daughter Dilshad, she sometimes forgets how old she is'.

Asad and Zoya's parents took to the main hall where they sat down and openly gave them their blessing, they expressed their happiness and talked through about some of their concerns especially the long distance and the fact that they did not want anything to come in between their studies. 'We don't disapprove of you relationship, as we believe you are old and wise enough to make certain decisions in your life, we don't mind you coming and going to visit one another, but there are a few things you need to keep in mind, you both have worked hard and are working hard to get where you want to, Zoya this is your final year and Asad you still have another few years to go. Your studies are paramount and there will be no compromising when it comes to your education. The other thing is that we want you to know that we trust you and resect you as individuals and as a couple...what we ask is for you to always respect us and your surroundings...you need to maintain and keep within the limits and boundaries of the relationship we have allowed you to have' Asad and Zoya looked at one another whilst Humera was trying not to laugh at their expressions. Rashid finished his long speech letting Ghaffur take over 'Ya Allah...how long is this going to take' Zoya thought to herself, she resembled a tomato, she couldn't believe her parents were having this open discussion with them, something she had not expected.

'Ammi I was going to meet Haider, you mind if I take Zoya and Humera with me...we will be back just after midnight' Dilshad looked towards Razia for her approval and permission which she gave happily.
