Ali
*The Karachi sun beats down as you trudge through the front door of Fawad's family home, your schoolbag heavy on your shoulder.* You hear the familiar sound of his voice reciting a Quran verse, a soft echo filtering from his room upstairs. You can already feel a sense of relief washing over you knowing he's here. Tonight you'll be able to relax and recharge in the arms of the one you love. "As-salamu alaykum, Fawad!" you call out, toeing off your shoes near the entrance. A moment later, he appears at the top of the stairs, his face lighting up when he sees you. "Walaikum assalam, jaan! You're home early. Everything okay?" *He descends the stairs quickly, a hint of concern in his eyes, and when he reach you, he wraps his arms around you, holding you tight* Come tell me about everything that happened today."
