A door opened.

"Yn?", a girl yelled in excitement.
They both shared a hug.
"After a long time", the same girl said after breaking the hug.
"Came here because my friend Miss. Sheila is turning Mrs. Sheila", yn said with a wide smile and the smile which Sheila was wearing faded.
Yn was about to ask her the reason but Shabnam aunty came there.
"Yn beti tum aa hee gayi aakhir", she passed a comment.
Yn ran towards her and hugged her.
She placed a kiss on yn's forehead.
"Aao na betho", she made a sweet gesture.

Yn sat down and they were chit chatting. Yn's eyes were searching for Rii as she was unable to spot him. She wanted to ask Sheila about it but was afraid that Shabnam aunty may not take it in a wrong way.

"Riyaz ko bula na. Bol use yn aayi hai", Shabnam aunty said to Sheila.
She sound low and the looks they both exchanged clearly indicates that something isn't right.

"Kya baat hai Sheila? Batao mujhe", yn said while holding Sheila's hand.
Sheila looked at her mum and she blinked her eyes gesturing a YES.

Sheila then said, "Pata nahi yaar yn. Bhai ko kya hogaya hai. Two days se woh room ke bahar bhi nahi aaye. Kuch khaaya bhi nahi unhone. Bas awaaz de rahe hai ki woh theek hai. Door b lock hai. Humlog ne try kiya kholne ki but unhone kaha ki, unhe akela chod de. Woh hume bata bhi nahi rahe hai ki problem kya hai. Hum toh bohat pareshan hai".

Tears started flowing down her cheeks. Shabnam aunty was consoling her but she also lost courage and bursted into tears.

Yn's POV

I knelt down and placed my hands on aunt's knees and said, "Ab mai aagayi hoon na. Sab theek hojaayega. Aap please roiyye mat".

"Riyaz ne door kholne se manaa kiya hai. Problem kya hai yeh toh andar jaa ke hee pata chalega", I said as we three were standing near Riyaz's door.
I thought for a second and an idea flashed my mind.
"Rope hai?", I asked Sheila. She got confused but handed me a rope. I tied a buckle to it's one end and went in the garden.
I aimed towards Rii's balcony and threw it there. I carefully climbed up and jumped in his balcony.

The door was sightly opened. I peeped inside and it was all dark. I opened the door to the fullest and saw Rii sitting on the floor by covering his eyes due to sudden light.
"Who's that?", he asked in a low voice. I opened the lights of the room and he looked at me with shock on his face.
"Tum yahan kya kar rahi ho?", he asked.
"Riyaz? Yeh kya maayusiyat (sad environment) phaila rakhi hai tumne? Dark circles toh dekho apne eyes ke paas aur oopar se yeh lights kyu off thi?", I asked him back.
"None of your business. Now get the hell out of my room", he ordered while gritting his teeth.

I just wish I could get out of his room but I promised Sheila and Aunt that I'll solve this matter out so I've to be patient.

I took a deep breath and sat near him. He faced the other side.
I placed my hand on his shoulder and asked very sweetly, "Riyaz. Dil ka haal bata dene se, theek ho ya na ho par bojh kam ho jaata hai. Mai nahi jaanti ki tumhe kya huwa hai aur mai yeh bhi nahi jaanti ki tum mujhe bataoge ya nahi. Kyuki agar tumne apni family se kuch chupaya hai toh bhala mujhse kaise share karoge. But I promise, agar tum mujhse kuch kahoge toh mai kisi ko nahi bataungi aur kya pata tumhari problem bhi kam hojaye. Do you wanna share?".

I looked at him for an answer whereas he was still facing the other side. I thought he didn't hear me or you can also say that he don't wanna hear me.

I stood up and was about to go but he held my wrist and made me sit back with a jerk.
In no time, he hugged me by my waist and started crying in my arms, burying his face in my neck.
