Afreen groaned when the p.o.s of the cashier wasn't working. She held the heavy basket of items she had just bought from the supermarket. She hissed softly feeling annoyed. She thought that this day couldn't possibly get any worse, but she was wrong. Everything had to get messed up. She couldn't blame it on anybody, but on Mother Nature. 

Of all time it chose to arrive in the middle of a theatre. "Why?" Just why? She had to wait after she finished a five hour operation before she drove fast to the supermarket to buy a sanitary pad.

She opened her bag and counted the money she had, but it wasn't enough. She thought of possible ways to get money and at the end she didn't have an option but to call her brother.

"How much is her stuff ? I will pay it. " she heard someone's voice at her side. Right now she is in a very bad mood. Which was because of her period hormones. All she wants to do now is scream out loud, but she had to hold it in.

"Who the heck is this fool!" She thought as she lifted her head up because of the height difference to face the person. Lo and behold it was TARIQ Yaya Abdullah's friend and a son to her father's friend who she doesn't know.

"Hey Afreen! Do you remember me?" He asked her smiling cheekily.

"Excuse me?" She raised an eyebrow and eyed him up and down before turning her head the opposite direction. People often say that she is rude but she doesn't give a damn, that is just how she is. 

"No, I don't and will you 'please get out of my way!" She demanded.

He shrugged at what she said and Faced the cashier woman. How much is her items, he asked.

"9,500." The woman replied after calculating the amount.

"What do you want Mr Man?" She asked stressing the mr man.

"Nothing, just trying to be a gentleman. I can't just leave my little sister stranded in a supermarket." He replied. He paid the money while she stood there just looking at him, dumbfounded.

"And also, don't worry you will soon remember me." He smirked and walked away.

After closing at the hospital she stopped at an Ice cream shop. "Three cups of oreo milkshake please." She said to the woman at the behind the counter.

"Can you please wait for some few minutes, your order will be ready by that time. " the woman said.

"Ok, sure no problem.

She found a place and sat down while she did some stuffs with her phone. She saw Anwaar calling her so she picked it.

Assalam alaiki~ Anwaar.

Wa' alaika Salam." How are you?" She asked.

Alhamdulilah. " what about you?" I am perfectly fine " Alhamdulilah. "

Mashallah!
how is work and everything?" He asked.  Alhamdulilah, everything is fine.

"Are you still in the hospital or at home." He asked. "I am on my way back home, right now. Just stopped to buy an ice cream. "

"Icecream! Didn't you say you have catarrh yesterday." He complained. "Yh! I have been craving for it...,so I decided to buy it."

"Be taking good care of yourself dear. Let me leave you now. Bye."
