*Truth About Fatima*

__________________________________________________________

-Rayyan-

Getting home after hard work in office, I only wanted to see Misha and talk to her. She make me relax but not now. These days she has been acting weird and she is not telling me. I try to ask her but she refused to answer me. She get angry on little things and within a minute she say sorry and go back to normal.

Right now, she is pacing in room and checking something on her laptop. I asked her again but like before she said nothing and keep doing it. She was nervous about something because she bit her nails like she is doing now. Suddenly a beep on her laptop and she took deep breath before check whatever I was. I watch her as her eyes shifted left to right and in end she drop her shoulder and shake her head. I feel something happened so I stood up and walk up to her. I turned her around to face me.

"What happen Misha? Is something wrong?" I asked. She looked up and show me what she was seeing few minutes ago. I looked at it and shocked to read. I looked at her but she was looking at screen.

"I-is this true?" I asked scaring if she say yes and that's what she say.

"Yes. I asked my best detective to find everything about it. This is result and that's not enough. Have a look" she handed me her phone with a picture open. My eyes widened.

'Oh no! Is this true then why haven't I notice it before? What is going to happen when they know about it?'

"We have to tell them." She said. I nodded and quickly take out my phone. Misha walkout of room. I waited for him to pick up.

"Hello"He answered it.

"Shehry come to my house now" I told him.

"Why? What happen?" He asked worriedly.

"Don't ask questions just come now" I hung up without his answer. I walk down and enter in living room. Dad was gone to take Mom from airport. It all can be happy and sad moments.

After few minutes doorbell ring. I took deep breath and get up to open door. I walk in front and open door for him. He looked at me confused and worried but I didn't say anything. I make him follow me in living room. Leaving him there I walk for where Misha left. I knock softly and it door and she came out.

"He is here" I told Misha. She nodded and take Fatima with her in living room.Shehry was sitting on couch and patting his foot on floor. He stood up when he see us.

"What's happening here?" He asked confused. I take Misha phone from him and show him picture. When I give him he looked at me confused but quickly look at it.While Misha showing Fatima email on her laptop. We heard small gasped from both of them. They looked at each other before looking at us. I just shrug and point to Misha.

"Let's sit and talk about this." We all seated on couch. Shehry and Fatima still in shocked.

"I give picture to my IT expert. She made a new software by which when can make a picture older. The little girl in your picture is Fatima, Shehry. She is your sister. And Fatima I give your papers to Asher my best detective he send me all information about you. You live here and Shehry is your big brother." They looked at each other before looking away.

This is going to be hard for them.

-Shehry-

"Why?"This is the first word Fatima says. Her eyes watered and I looked at her nervously. I never get nervous before. But the girl sitting in front of me is my sister. My real sister who was lost.

"What why?" I asked want to know what she mean by why.

"Why you give me for adoption? Why mother and father send me away from them? Why didn't you say anything?"

"I-I don't know anything about this before. They told me few months ago but we didn't give you into adoption. They said you were lost at some carnival when we are racing toward car but suddenly you disappear. They tried to find you but they couldn't so they thought someone take you away."

"That's not true. My step parents told me they adopted me."

"Uh... Fatima I think you didn't read everything" Misha said showing her again. Fatima read it again. I looked at her and I notice similarity in her and Mom. She had grey eyes like me but same as Mom. Her eye, her forehead, and her nose everything was like Mom then why I didn't notice it before? I always saw similarity but never think about it.

"Didn't they  complain in police?"

"They did but they also didn't get any clue about you. I swear Fatima if I know about you earlier I will find you but I don't know a thing about you. Please forgive me for not taking care of you and leave you alone. I promise I will always keep you at first place, just give me a chance" I begged her and she looked at me with wide eyes.

"No, Bhai please, I am not angry at you or mad I was just upset thinking why you all do that to me but now I know it was all mistake. I want my family back. I want see Mom and Dad. I want to see what family is." She said and tear fall from her eyes. Without thinking I pulled her in my arms and we sobbed quietly.

"I will inform them. But tell me how and where you were all these years? Rayyan only tell me you something happen but never tell me" I asked pulling away. She wiped her face and looked at me with red watery eyes.

"I was not good until Zayan and Misha aapi help me with money and Rayyan Bhai with home.My adopted parents beat me every chance they got. Aneesha who I used to call my sister slap me and insult me in front of whole school. They said they want a toy for her daughter so they adopt me. They throw me out in middle of night. On last day of our school Aneesha threaten me that her Father find me out and take me back. Please Bhai I don't want to go. I am happy here with you all" she said and fear in her eyes. I hugged her tightly.

"No one is taking you away from me again Fatima. You are my sister and it is my right to protect you. I will fight with anyone who think about you taking away from me." I said angrily and clenched my hand into fist. I will kill them if they think about it. I will kill everyone who try to hurt my sister. I still want some answers from her.

"I will bring something for you guys" I heard Misha. I completely forget about both of them. She walk out to kitchen. Rayyan smiled softly at me.

"Well, you have not only one brother Fatima. I am also here for you."He told her. She smiled and nodded.

"Fatima can I ask you something?" I asked her. She smiled.

"Yes Bhai" I feel happy and proud when she call me Bhai.

"The day when you come here I saw some buries on your face and Rayyan was telling me about some trouble you and Zayan got. Can you tell me about that?" I asked. She looked nervous when I say trouble. There is something I should know.

"After they throw me out I start living with my friend and I give money as my contribution in apartment rent and grocery. I worked at cafe near at our school but that manager use girls like me and send them to other people and give them drugs to give other people and take money from them. He told me to do same or else he fired me but I never care about job I don't want to be a part me bad things.The day you were talking about he send his man to get me to him so he could forced my into this. Then Zayan saved me from them. When we were discussing where I should live Salma Aunty suggest me to live with them there so I take her offer and live here. After that they tried to follow me but never came near me. It has been few months since I saw them last time" She explained and sighed heavily. I looked at her shocked. This is all happening in her life and I have no clue about it. What type of brother I am?

"From today you are living with me at our house and I will talk Dad to give you protection when I am not with you but I will try my best to be with you." I told her honestly. She looked at me confused.

"Our house?You think our parents is okay with me staying there?" She asked. I frowned why they don't want to? They will be happy when they know about her, their daughter.

"They will be happy when they know about you."

"Okay Bhai I will move in your house"

"Our house." I correct her. She smiled and nodded.

We were talking and laughing about things. I watch as Fatima laugh. I never knew the girl live with my best friend is my little sister. I still blame me for things happen earlier. If we didn't think of playing that time then she would never lost.Then she never put into adoption and live with heartless people who didn't treat her well. I will file cased against them to hurt her and try to take her away from me. But one thing I still not understand how put her into adoption? I think I should ask Misha because she had all information about how she get there and I also have to thank her for helping me.

"How she get into adoption?" I asked Misha once she get back. She looked at me and smiled.

"I talk to Asher when I was in kitchen. He told me he asked agency that give Fatima to other people. The man who run it saw her crying and take her with him when he asked her about parents she says they left her so he put her with him. He says the family adopted her was his needy clients. So he give her to them and take care of her" She said and showed me her email where a photo is attached of a paper where everything was written she just told me with owner sign.

"Oh."That's all I could say. We get back what we were doing. Me, Fatima and Rayyan were taking about me. He told her my funny stories that I hate. Misha was looking at us smiling softly. I excused myself and sit next to her.

"Thank you" I smiled. She looked at me and smiled back.

"Don't thank me Shehry. I am happy you get your sister back. It was weird when I know about you guys but was happy at the same time. She really miss you all. I saw her crying in office when she wasn't doing anything. If we didn't find out now then she would be crazy for feeling lonely." She said looking at Fatima. I looked at her and my heart-clenched thinking about her crying.

"I would too if I didn't found her. Thank you so much. You're the best sister ever" I told her with big smile. She smiled back. I told them I call my parents and tell her about their lost daughter. I stood up and walk out as I dial their number and waited for them to pick up.

-Misha-

When Shehry walkout just then door bell ring. I told Rayyan and Fatima to sit I will get it.Rayyan was talking to her and telling his and Shehry stories of college. I walked up to front door and open it. Mom came in and pulled me into a big hug.

"Assalam-o-AlaikumMom" I hugged her back. I miss her when she was away. I get used to her motherly feeling which I have been craving for 3 years.

"WalaikumAssalam Misha. Why are you crying? Did Rayyan do something?" She asked worriedly after pulling back. She wipe the tears which I didn't notice.

"No Mom. I missed you so much" I said quietly. She laugh softly before walking inside and pulled me with her.

"I missed you too." She walked in living room and smiled at Rayyan. In a second he stood up and ran up to Mom. I love their bonding. They had true Mom and son bonding.I couldn't help but think when I become Mom did I also get this type of bonding with my children?

"Mom Dad come we have to tell you something" Shehry said walking toward us after finish his call. They looked at each other before following us and sit on couch.

"What it is?You guys again do something?" She asked suspiciously. Both Rayyan and Shehry chuckle and shake their heads.

"No Mom. It is about his sister."She quickly get serious and waited for them to continue.

"Fatima is my sister" Shehry said smiling softly at Fatima. Mom and Uncle looked at him with wide eyes.

"What!"Mom shouted still in shocked. He nodded and tell her everything. When they were explain I feel something turn in me but I ignore it and listen to them.

"That is good. I am happy you find your sister. Your parents will be happy when they know about this" Mom said smiling.

"Yes they are. They are back on their way. They said they will be here tomorrow morning" He inform everyone. Fatima looked happy and nervous for meeting her real parents.

"Don't worry Fatima they are good people. They never hurt their children" Mom said softly as she see her nervous. She looked at her and nodded slowly. I again feel something coming up.

"I will bring something for you" I told them and stood up. I feel my head spinning and my eyes getting heavy. I fall on couch and last thing I saw was Rayyan worried face before everything went black.
