#Chapter5

/"What could have Ahad done to her? ... What did he say to her?/" Mahnoor said to herself while lying on her bed, staring at the ceiling.

She reached out for the stuffed bear which she got from Kanwal on her tenth birthday, /"Do you have any idea, Mr Bear?/" Mahnoor asked the bear, holding its both hands and stares into his artificial eyes.

/"Yes,...I am worried about her too./" She said to the bear and hugged it tightly.

It's already past three a.m., but sleep is far away from her eyes. She couldn't sleep, nor function normally after returning from the Basant festival. Her mind is cluttered, she hasn't changed and is still donning the same dupatta she wore earlier.

Kanwal's painful expression lingers in her mind.
