It hurts when someone you like ignores you and hurts you silently.

It hurts when people change sides so easily.

Be yourself because you will never be able to please all people they will always find faults...

Zahid:
It's been three weeks since Zainab started working here and I have been ignoring her for two weeks I just couldn't see her breaking down after what I will do she will hate me.

I know what I am doing is for her own happiness but no one will understand.

I called her in my office I knew her eyes were on me I could feel it I wanted to look back at her tell her everything now I care for her deeply but I couldn't after all I am also culprit.

When I heard someone clearing their throat I knew it was Zainul one of my best friends what surprised me more was when I saw him staring at her but as usual, she was looking away still I couldn't hold it any longer and asked her what did Zainul mean by best friend?

Now as I lay on my comfy bed sleep was the last thing I stared at ceiling mum and dad will call me tomorrow for the next step.

Just then I heard a knock on the door I sat upright after putting a  pillow on the headboard and smile crept up on my lips my sister Rehmat was standing in front of me.

"Since when did you need my permission to come in my room?"I asked her gesturing her to come and sit next to me she smiled but her smile didn't reach her eyes something was up.

"Since you started ignoring me and hiding things and you think I don't know?" she asked me she has always been mature more than her age she understands people and advises them if needed.

"I don't know why mum and dad doing all this to an innocent girl?"I asked her and her eyes widened and she smiled this time genuinely I narrowed my eyebrows and asked her what.

"Oh someone cares for someone and likes her?" she concluded with excitement and the realization hit me I really like her I like her Ya Allah this amazing person but she's too good for me and if she will be near me she will be destroyed.

"So you not against it?"I asked her and she just smacked on my shoulders.

"Hey, bro, I like her since day one I wanted to know more about her but mum always interfered and insulted her I feel like there's a connection between us she's someone I know," she said and I wondered that how strange it is we both have an answered questions.

"Who is Zainab?"

"She even told me once to wear hijab," Rehmat said and I smiled, of course, she will say she herself started niqab.

"Please bro don't hurt her don't break her," she said while tears in her eyes as if she has gone through some rough patch I will ask her tomorrow InshaaAllah.

"That's why I have been ignoring her because mum will call and inform me next plan and you know I can't go against her plans and dad they have given us everything even when they weren't with us they did for us, "I explained to her and she nodded.

"You know she likes you," she said and my mouth was left open how did she know?

"No she can't like a person like me who's been in the plan," I said shaking my head and I know what to do next just then m phone kept ringing we were upstairs.

"It's mum, "I told Rehmat and she gestured me to pick it up while she left.

"Come in the room now, "mum's voice was heard from another end she sounded harsh but I decided to stay calm.

I went into her room and there mum and dad stood with papers.

"What's taking you so long huh? Zahid we are almost close to plan, "mum smiled evilly and dad came and stood next to me.

"No backing out son you know what will happen if you back out, "dad warned me and they both waited for my reply.

"We need her signatures on these papers and it's your work to get them that's the first step, "mum showed me some papers and it shocked me why were they after Zainab and her family? I wish my grandparents were here to guide me.

"You know she likes you, "mum said and frowned she didn't like Zainab at all.

So everyone knew Zainab likes me except me who knew now but  I can't let them know my feelings also they might hurt her.

"Now it's easier since she likes you all you have to do is make her fall for you and you just confess you like her I know you don't have any feelings for low-class girl like her, "I just stood there dumbstruck unable to form any word my throat felt dry my heart ached I really like her and mum wanted me to play with her feelings she wanted me to fake it all.

I just nodded and turned away from the opening the door and slamming it shut but I stood frozen on my spot unable to move any further there stood a figure in the dim light staring back at me.......
