*Making Breakfast & Giving Favor*

-----------------------------------------------

-Maryam-

"Everyone ready to go?" Misha asked us as she and Rayyan come down with Shehryaar behind them. He had a relaxing smile on his face and he looked at everyone. I quickly look down when his eyes caught mine. 

"I am ready for the dinner. It's almost 8:30. Can we go now. I am hungry." Zaheer whine making us look at him confused.

"Zaheer you just eat two large packets of chips and still you are hungry?" Hassan asked in disbelieve. We all chuckle slightly as we saw Zaheer glaring at him.

"So what? Do you have any problem?" Hassan raised his hands and take a few steps back when he saw Zaheer taking a step closer to him. 

"Let's go before his hunger takes over him." Rayyan smirked and went out with Misha. Waniya and her husband, Alina, Aashir, Shehryaar, Zaheer and Hassan followed them. I was about to go, but stop when Saim call my name. I turned to face him and raised my eyebrow.

"What?" I looked at him confused when he looked at me nervously. He closed his eyes and take few deep breaths.

"I-I wanted to tell you something really important." He stuttered. I nodded telling him to continue, but before he could say something he was cut it off by Waniya when she clear her throats.

"Everyone is waiting for you too." She told us. I nodded and give Saim a look to continue to after dinner. I don't know what he wants to tell me, but I do know that it would be related to the accident that happened a month ago. I just hope he tell me everything and If he need my help then I will help him.

"It was awesome. I think I ate too much." Zaheer says as we all walk in a house together. We all agreed because the food was delicious. 

"I think we all should go to sleep as we all are tired from the trip and unpacking." Aashir suggest and on cue Zaheer, Hassan, Rayyan and Misha yawned. We chuckle at them and nodded.

"Shehry is that bed in your room still available?" Rayyan asked him. He looks at him confused but nodded. 

"Yeah, but I am saying this right now, I am not going to let any of them in my room." Hassan and Zaheer glared at him before pouting. Aashir chuckle and shake his head.

"Not them, but there is one person who still didn't get a room. We want you to let Saim stay in your room." Shehryaar look at them, then at Saim who was shifting uncomfortably on his place. 

"Fine." He mumble before going upstairs in his room. All guys went after him while we stay at our place.

"It's okay. I can stay in the living room if he doesn't like sharing his room." Saim says but his voice was unsure. Waniya step forward and shake her head. 

"Don't worry. It is just that he doesn't know about you much that is why he act that way." Saim looks at me to see if this is true or not. I nodded at him but honestly, I didn't know about it.

"Go upstairs in his room with your bags. Rayyan will convince him." Misha says with a small smile. He sighs and nodded before grabbing his bags and walk upstairs. We all bid our goodnights and went to our rooms. 

There were only 5 rooms in this house and 4 were already full. Only one person space was left in the Shehryaar room as Hassan didn't want to stay with Zaheer so Aashir agree to stay with him. Hassan decide to stay in the basement that had comfortable couches. This house is big and Misha tells us that they are planning to buy it as their picnic point.

"I will be back." I told Alina when I remember about Saim telling me something important but he was interrupted. She nodded and take out her clothes to change before going in the bathroom. I walk toward the room where Saim was staying. I knock twice before it open by Shehryaar. I quickly look away from him to the ground. 

"I want to talk Saim." I told him quietly and heard him sighing.

"He is not here right now. He went outside." He says with a shrugged. I frowned and raised my head to look in his eyes that was blank. 

"Uh... Okay. Tell him I come here to meet him." I say and went away when he nodded and close the door behind me.

"Assalam-o-Alaikum." I give my Salam to Waniya, Misha and Alina as I enter into the kitchen. They turned to me and smiled before greeting me back. I walk toward Misha and sit beside her on a stool by counter as Waniya place two cups of coffee for us. 

"So, what is the plan for today?" Waniya asked us leaning back on stove. I looked at Misha and Alina then at her before shrugging.

"I don't know. I am in for whatever you guys planned." I told her and take a sip of my drink. Waniya nodded and take our coffee making us frowned. She poured it in travelling mugs before giving us.

"Let's go for a walk without our husbands or fiancée. Just us to spend some girls together and let the guys make breakfast for us." Waniya suggest. She went out to do something. Alina and Misha grinned nodded before standing. I sigh knowing it wouldn't be a good idea because when the guys wake up they will get worried. 

I stood up and followed them out in the living room where Waniya was writing something on a notepad. When she finishes whatever she was writing, she tore the paper from the notepad and went in the kitchen. After a few minutes, she comes back with a wide smile on her face and handed our coffee. She looped her arms with ours Top of Form

and we all walk together through the front door. I don't know about everyone, but I know Rayyan will get a heart attack when he couldn't find Misha.

-Shehryaar-

I hate him. I hate everyone. They make me do something that I don't want to. They know how much I dislike Saim and still they make me share a room with him when I don't want to. I don't know if I should feel concern or not, but since he got here, his phone didn't stop ringing. He looks tense and frustrated. He didn't sleep last night because whenever I wake up in the middle of my night, I saw him doing something on his phone.

I woke up by someone banging on the door. I sigh in annoyance and look at Saim bed only to see it empty. I sit on my bed and was about to stand up, but stop when the door of bathroom opened and Saim came out with a frown on his face. I shrugged and rested my back on the headboard when he look at me questioningly. He walks over to the door and open it only to see Hassan. 

"What you want?" I asked him rolling my eyes and stood up from my bed. He looks at me and Saim before rolling his eyes at us.

"Rayyan want you two downstairs." He told us. We both nodded and he walk away. I quickly freshen up and walk downstairs to see them sitting in the living room discussing about something.

"What happened?" I asked as I sit on single couch. Rayyan looked at me and Atif handed me a note. My eyebrows shot up in surprise when I read it. This is from all the girls saying that they are going for a walk and will be back as soon as we prepare breakfast for them. They mention the things we have to make for them in breakfast. 

"I am going. I have to find Misha." Rayyan says, standing up making us stand up with him. I grabbed his arms to stop him. He looked at me confused when I shake my head.

"You are not going anywhere. Misha is with other girls to spend some time and I am sure they will take care of her." I assured him, but he shakes his head and tried to get out of my grip. 

"No. I want her back here. It is not safe for her to go around here where she didn't know anyone." He says childishly and tried to walk toward the door but others block his way.

"Rayyan, we came here to enjoy. Let them enjoy like they want. If you want her to be happy then make her favorite breakfast for her." Aashir tried to convince him. He looked at us before sighing in defeat.

"Fine, but at least can I talk to her?" We all nodded and saw as he take his phone out of his pocket and dial Misha number. We all frowned and looked at each other when we heard someone phone ringing. Zaheer went in the kitchen and come back with Misha, Waniya and Alina phone in his hand.

"Seriously, they left their phone here?" Aashir and Atif shake their head in disbelief making me chuckle silently. 

"Did you find Maryam phone?" Saim asked Zaheer. He shakes his head with a frowned and we all watch as Saim takes his phone out and dial someone number. After a few minutes someone pick the phone and the name he say freeze me. Top of Form

"Maryam, Where are you?" He asked and listen for a few minutes. I looked at Rayyan and saw him looking at him confused. Hassan and Zaheer looked at me with a look, but I just shrugged and put my hands in my pocket and see as things goes. 

"I want to talk Misha." Rayyan didn't request him, he order him and Saim didn't have other choice but to do what he says because of the look on Rayyan face. I study Saim as he awkwardly handed his phone to Rayyan and see him as he walk away to talk to his wife.

After half an hour later, we were standing in the kitchen staring at things that we take out to make breakfast for the girls. I looked at everyone and saw them looking at the things strangely expect Rayyan. Only Rayyan and I know how to cook while the other had no idea because they didn't cook anything before but now they had to for theirselves. I sigh heavily and shake my head before taking a step forward and start to make breakfast for myself. A few minutes later I feel Rayyan coming beside me and make his favorite cheese omelet and some pancakes of Misha choice that she mention.

Atif and Aashir also join us and start making what Waniya and Alina mention. Soon Zaheer and Hassan make their breakfast and they tried not to do anything stupid. After I was done with my task, I put it on the table and turned around before frowning. Saim was standing in corner with a phone in his hands Suddenly his phone starts ringing causing the guys to jump in surprise. Saim looked at them nervously as they glared at them. He cut the call and walk toward me.

"What?" I asked him confused when he stop in front of me. He sighs and looks down before looking up at me.

"I want a favor. I have to go for some important work, can you please make breakfast for Maryam?" He asked me with a pleading look. I raised my eyebrow at him. Where he is going? Why he wants me to make breakfast for her when there are others.

"Why me? I mean there are others doing cooking as well." I asked him, pointing to the guys trying to complete their task as soon as they can.

"I can't trust anyone else because I don't know how they cook. Maryam told us that you cook for your little sister and I can trust your cooking skills." He told me with a shrug and look down at his phone when it vibrate in his hand.

"Fine."

"Thank you so much. I owe you." He smiled and walk out. I sigh heavily and start making breakfast for Maryam as well. An hour later, everything is ready and Rayyan message Maryam from Misha phone as everything is ready so they could come back.

Rayyan, Aashir and Atif were impatiently waiting for their them at the front door while Zaheer, Hassan and I were sitting in the living room watching some Tv to pass our time. I wasn't really watching it because my mind is somewhere else. I am curious the way Saim was behaving. I know I don't know much about him, but I have met him once before, but that time he was different or maybe I am thinking too much. I couldn't help but think about last night when Maryam came asking for him.

I don't know what is happening between them, but I am sure that something is going on that is stressing both of them. Since we came here both were lost in their own thoughts. I just hope everything is fine in Maryam life because it make me sad to see her like this. In almost 2 years as much as I know about her I can tell that she is not a person who shares her problems with someone. She needs someone to share her problem and I so badly want her to share it with me, but I know this would never happen.
