"If You Were Mine"

Episode I

"Look at the World ! It is beautiful if you have all the luxuries of it but for people like me and you it is of no use"  said by Amaan with a heavy voice. He was talking to his friend Shan who was his childhood friend. Amaan was 17 years old and he belonged to a Lower Middle Class family of Karachi. His father worked as a Postman in a Private organization and the pay he used to get from his job was not handsome enough for his daughter Laiba, his Wife and his son Amaan. So the whole family was passing a very ordinary life, empty from all the luxuries.

Shan's circumstances were quite similar as well. Amaan and Shan were studying in an ordinary Government School and they both were in 9th standard. It was a part of their routine that they both spent time in a park near their school. One day they were sitting in the same park after school and Amaan was seeing long buildings, big cars and other things around him and at the same time he was thinking something as well and breaking the ice he said "Look at the World ! It is beautiful if you have all the luxuries of it but for people like me and you it is of no use". Shan asked him the reason for saying that. He replied "I don't know but in this world there is nothing for me to cheer about. You can tell me if you think I have any". Amaan always talked like that it was a part of his nature but Shan possessed an opposite nature than him. He always consoled Amaan when he thought things like that.

They were living their normal life but things went more hard for Amaan when his father became paralysed as a result of a road accident during his work. His home got affected. They were already suffering from a financial crisis and that incident made their crisis more severe to bear. He had to leave his studies because after his father he was the only man in his house who had to take care of all the needs of his family but he was too young to do that. He tried to get a job but in the beginning he couldn't find any. After a great struggle his father asked him to meet one of his friends Kamal regarding this matter.

He met Mr. Kamal and Mr. Kamal advised him to visit his friend Mr. Akbar who was the owner of a big Firm. Mr. Kamal said "I am sure Akbar can help you in your problem. He is my close friend so I will let him know that you are willing to meet him and you can use my reference as well. Just tell him all of your circumstances and he is a great guy by heart he will definitely do something for you". Amaan thanked Mr. Kamal and returned to his home after telling him that he will meet Mr. Akbar the very next day.

Next day he prayed to God that somehow he would get any job by which he can fulfill the basic needs of his family and he took his way towards Mr. Akbar's firm when he reached the address told by Mr. Kamal he saw a vast building in front of him where he had to go and meet Mr. Akbar. He was quite nervous. The first thought he got in his mind was not to meet Mr. Akbar. He thought it was a big company and he could never get any job here. He was about to take his way back to his home then he imagined the face of his sister and his mother. Somehow, He encouraged himself to step inside the building and after entering the building the first person he saw was a young beautiful girl who was asking the workers about something. By her actions she was appearing as she was on a big post and by her appearance she was seeming like a very rich girl full of beauty. Amaan was unable to take his eyes away from that girl and suddenly a worker came and said "Ma'am Maryam ! Boss is calling you" on which she turned back and replied to the worker that she is coming. By this Amaan came to know that her name is Maryam...........
