Raaz ( Mystery)

Chapter 5

Mihrimah :

After reaching home the first thing she did was call Fajar ( her best friend ). She was the only person Mihrimah trusted after her baba. They first met in highschool in 2014 when Fajar and her mother had recently moved to Russia after her parent's divorce.

Fajar was new and didn't know anyone there while Mihrimah had known them all her life but still wasn't friends with them. When Fajar tried approaching her for friendship Mihrimah reciprocated.

Mihrimah always thought they both had so much in common which was true because they both were Pakistani , they both were potter heads , they both loved reading ( even though Fajar was a selective reader) and Fajar missed her father just like Mihrimah missed her mother.

When Fajar told her things she missed about her father. Mihrimah always asked herself."How can I miss someone I've never met ?" She never understood why she missed her mother even though she never got the chance to know her. "Somethings really are just inexplicable" she thought.

Fajar picked up at the first ring. She kept saying hello but Mihrimah didn't reply. "Hello Mihri are you okay ???"

Mihrimah saw her voice cracking up"I'm so lonely Fajar".

"What happened? Are you crying Mihri ??" Fajar said.

"I need you" Mihrimah managed to say in between her tears.

"Are you at your place ?"

"Yes"

"I'm coming there wait for me".

After hanging up Fajar changed her clothes quickly to reach Mihri's place. She stopped at Dunkin donuts to buy Mihri's favorite chocolate Doughnuts. After 30 minutes she was at her house. The house was locked from the inside so she rang the bell.

Mihrimah opened the door after a few moments. Fajar's brow furrowed at the sight of her face. Mihrimah's eyes were swollen it looked like she had been crying  from a long time. She hugged her while Mihrimah rested her face on her shoulder hugging her back. They stood like that at the door until her tears soaked Fajar's shirt.

"I'm here Mihri. I'm here".

"Please don't leave me" she said while crying her eyes out.

"I won't leave I promise" she replied.

Fajar calmed her down and they both sat at the living room sofa eating doughnuts. Mihrimah told her everything that  happened earlier that day at her baba's office. "Oh so is he hot?" Fajar tried to lighten the mood. "What the hell is wrong with you Fajar ?" Mihrimah said.
"Well that's not the answer to my question. What was his name again?" She asked.
"I don't remember" (Mihrimah remembered everything she just didn't want to talk about it. )

Mihrimah changed the topic and they kept talking about their favorite books for hours. Fajar stayed the night at her house even though Mihrimah insisted that she'd be fine. They watched two parts of Harry Potter together before going to sleep.
