Hazik looked around and saw his angel enter the hall. She looked calmer and more put together than before. She seemed to be searching for something, and then appeared to have found it. Hazik wanted nothing else than to take her to his room and keep her there, away from all eyes. It was as if her presence lightened up his surroundings. She started to walk towards them.

Mr. Jahangir smiled at her and introduced her as Zarmeenay. He was a bit shocked when he heard him. His heart pained for her knowing she lost her parents at such a young age. It was new for him to feel something so deep for someone.

“You have grown up into a beautiful girl.” His mother pulled Zarmeenay into a hug. Zarmeenay was uncomfortable by the sudden affection from a stranger, but didn’t say anything.

“What are you doing these days?” Rikza asked her.

“I’ve just finished high school, I’m planning to apply for a BBA now.” She replied softly. She liked Rikza, she looked like a sweet lady.
