Chapter 29. Alone with the Devil

Haya after following the source of the screams also joined them while Zahra kept sitting there watching them, laughing heartily. She forgot about everything for a moment and enjoyed the little happy moment.

Soon, the fight was over and all four of them sat and talked for hours. They also gave their condolences to Zahra. While telling her father's stories, Tears welled up in Zahra's eyes. Dua and Haya consoled her and Haseeb sprinkled his stupid jokes to make the thick atmosphere light. They kept on talking and playing for hours. Zahra was happy that her cousins were nothing like Nayab. She already felt attached to them. She enjoyed her time with all of them and neither did she feel insecure with Haseeb.
