Daniya's POV
I felt warmth fill my heart at that, and I couldn't help but shoot a grateful smile at him. He lifted his shoulders slightly in response, as if it were nothing big for him. As if his protectiveness for her was a natural thing. I was happy that she had someone who put her safety before anything else. Because all her life, Gauhar had catered to others, putting everyone's needs before her own. Disregarding her own safety while trying to protect those around her. I hoped that Altamash would be someone she could rely on, though I still didn't know if he was someone that I could trust with my best friend.
