*Help?*

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

-Shehry-

"Fatima, please open the door." I knock on her door again, but like last time she yelled to go away. I sigh heavily and went back in the living room where Dad and Mom were sitting. I sit on the couch and rested my head back with my eyes closed.

"Did she agree?" Mom asked me hopefully, but I shake my head. Mom has been trying to get Fatima in college, but she doesn't want to go. I can understand that she wants to live here with us after spend almost 17 years of her life with adopted parents. As the days passed, she get more childish. She didn't talk to Mom or Dad. She didn't even eat anything properly. I don't want her to get sick or anything that may hurt her. She had already suffered a lot with those people and now I can't see it again.

"Leave her alone for sometime. I know she will understand and went to college." I pleaded Mom because she was pressuring her and Dad was quiet because I know he also want to spend time with Fatima like I want. Mom wants her to go to the best college and do her best, that is why she want her to stay in dorm and concentrate on her studies. They didn't send me because they weren't here that time.

"But Shehry-" She was cut if off when Dad glared at her. She sigh heavily and walk out of the room.

"Dad, you shouldn't have do that." I told him sternly. He sigh and shake his head.

"I know, but she leave me no choice. Can't she see Fatima don't want to leave us, then why she is pressuring her?" Dad asked annoyed.

"Dad, Mom wants what is best for us." I told him politely. He sigh and nodded before standing up and walking toward his room. I also stood up and walk upstairs in my room. I grabbed my laptop and open it before log in on Facebook.

When it's open, I went through some feeds and recent activities. I move to search box and hesitantly type the name of the person I want to see. When the profile open I scroll down on the timeline and saw many recent activities. There was a picture of a girl who had her face hidden behind her hands, but I can tell by the eyes that it was her. I look at the comments and saw Misha, Waniya, Alina and some more comments. Suddenly my eyes went on the name that I hate. I just wish if he didn't interrupt that time, then maybe I would be able to tell her about my feelings. I still remember what happened that day when I was going to tell her about my feelings.

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

Rayyan and Misha went upstairs in their room while everyone was seated in the living room. Everyone is happy that Misha is okay. We don't know what will we do if something happen to her. She is everyone happiness. Without her, no one is happy.

"Shehry Maryam, come and help me in setting dinner for everyone." Rayyan Mom said standing at the door. I nodded and stood up with Maryam. We walk toward the door and I let her go first.

"What you want me to do Aunty?" Maryam asked politely. Mom give her some plates and told her to set it on the table. I grab the glasses from the glass cupboard and went in the dining room to put it on the table. I looked up and saw her already looking at me. I don't know what to say or what to do. I don't know why, but I feel like Rayyan and my other friends are right. Did I really like her or love her? I don't even know what happened to me whenever I saw her with him. I just want to punch that guy, but I couldn't because I have no right to hit anyone without any reason.

"How are you?" She surprised me when she asked me that. I could feel a light blush on my face when she smiled at me. I look down, put the last glass on the table.

"I am fine. H-How are you-you?" I asked and mentally slap myself for stuttering in front of her. She smiled again and nodded.

"I am good." Silence fell between us. None of us say anything and I was lost in her brown eyes. What should I say? Should I tell her about what I feel whenever I saw her? Now maybe she will make fun of me. I mentally shake my head because I know she wouldn't do that type of thing with me. Taking a deep breath I open my mouth to say, but cut it off when suddenly her phone ring. She look at it down before frowning.

"Yes Saim?" She answered his call. I glared down at the table and turned around to walk away.

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

"Bhai" I looked up from my laptop and saw Fatima standing at the door with a tear stained face. I quickly shut it and sit straight when she walk in.

"What happen?" I asked her softly as she sit on my bed. She sniffed and shake her head before looking up at me.

"Mom is angry with me?" She asked me quietly. I sigh and shake my head with a small smile.

"She is not angry. She just wants you to get the best education." I told her. She nodded and look down.

"I know Bhai but can't I study at home for a year. I am not ready to leave you all again. Not yet." She mumbled, still looking down. I sigh heavily and think about it. She can study at home if she wants, but what about her college?

"You can and I will talk Mom about it tomorrow. Don't worry, I will make her ready for your home studying for a year. Now stop crying and give me a smile." I say and a smile come on her face. I am happy that I am making my almost broken sister happy.

"Thank you Bhai." She thanks me and give me a hug. We talk about more and I search up home studying on internet. She can study at home, but for that she had to take tuitions from someone who is a genius in all subjects.

"It is late now. Go in your room and get some sleep. I promise you that I will talk about this to Mom tomorrow morning at breakfast. Okay?" I told her softly. She nodded and stood up. As she walks out of my room, I shut down my laptop and put it aside. I yawned and lay back in bed, staring up at the ceiling. Slowly my eyes started to drop and take me into a deep sleep.

-Maryam-

"I didn't do any of these things like her at my time." Waniya says laughing on line. I chuckle and could feel Misha glaring at us.

"Don't laugh at me." Misha whined, making us laugh more. I calm down and nodded, but she can't see me. I take a deep breath to calm myself.

"Sorry Misha but that was funny." I say chuckling again. She told us what she did with Rayyan when he again come late when she call him.

"I could imagine him in long red hairs." Waniya laugh again making Misha groaned loudly.

"It was a mistake stop making fun of it." Misha say and I could feel angry in it but it was her mood swing. I sigh, but the smile didn't left my face.

"Relax Misha. Don't get angry. We were only tease you." I say and looked up when my room door open and Saim come inside.

"Yeah, don't get angry. I love you and my stupid brother." Waniya says through her phone, making me smile and I can tell Misha was smiling as well.

"Waniya you forget me to mention?" I fake pout and hear her laugh.

"How could we our little shy Maryam who loves Mr. Shehryaar Sheikh?" Waniya teased me and I could feel a blush on my face. I groaned mentally and rolled my eyes when Saim looked at me suspiciously.

"Yeah, how could I forget my future sister-in-law?" Misha says mischievously and I could feel her smirk on the other side.

"Can we change the topic please?" I sigh heavily and glared at Saim when he tried to listen about what I am talking.

"Why? Is Maryam blushing?" Misha says and I heard Waniya awww.

"I am going. Bye, I will talk you guys later." We say our goodbyes and hung up.

"That was mean! I want to hear what you and your friend were talking about." Saim whined and snatch my phone from me.

"Don't be childish Saim." I rolled my eyes at him and take my phone back. He glared at me before he sigh heavily. "What you want from me?" I raised my eyebrow at him.

"I need your help." He said and sit straight. I looked at him confused. He never asked me to help him before.

"What kind of help?" I asked him suspiciously because I only help him once and for that we get into trouble from our parents.

"Can you please convince Mom to let go of my marriage topic?" He asked me with hopeful eyes. I looked at him blankly.

"Why? Don't you want to get married?" I asked him standing up from bed. He sigh and stood up as well.

"I want to but I am not ready. Right now I have to focus on my career and partnership with your Dad." He told me the reason. I nodded with a smile.

"Okay. I will try to do something, but what will I get in return?" I asked him. He smiled at me.

"Anything you want me to do." He says confidently. I look at me mischievously and nodded.

"Anything?" I asked him again. He nodded.

"Yes."

"Okay. Be ready for it." I smirked at his confused look and walk out with him following me.
