It was a lovely morning One girl was studying while seated in her room, taking notes on the lecture she was listening to on her Macbook.

Her ears were equipped with AirPords and she couldn't hear her phone continuously ringing.

One girl kept calling her name as she entered her home.

Her Phuphu inquired, "Why are you shouting Afiyah?" upon spotting the girl.

As soon as Afiyah saw her phuphu, she stopped yelling and gave her a hug.

"Assalamualaikum Phuphu, I'm not getting a response when I called Nailah. Where is she?" questioned Afiyah.

"Walaikumasalaam phuphu ki jaan, Nailah is studying in her room as her exams are coming up" replied Phuphu.

"Okay, Thank you, Phuphu".

After Afiyah said this, she hurried to Nailah's room where she was studying and taking in her lecture. She sat on her bed in silence.

When Nailah saw her, she turned off her MacBook, set it aside, and asked,

"When did you come Fiyu di?"

"Just now". Declared Afiyah.

"Leave all this, I have wonderful news". Afiyah exclaimed with great enthusiasm.

Nailah became intrigued upon noticing the enthusiasm for her countenance and inquired about the good news.

She said "i just found out about the results and i have topped in the entire institution".

Nailah hugged her and congratulated her, adding, "I knew you would top Fiyu di." She seemed really thrilled.

She went on to question Afiyah if anyone else knew that she had excelled in college.

In response, Afiyah said that she visited her as soon as she learned of her result.

Nailah had a playful expression as she abruptly remembered something.

Fiyu Di, what if we play a little practical joke on our family members? Nailah questioned Afiyah.

Afiyah became ecstatic and grinned while saying, "Why not, little sister?"

A man in his mid-twenties is sitting in his office cabin, intently working on his laptop.

His phone started buzzing nonstop, which caused him to lose focus.

His face was irritated as he looked to see who was calling.

His irritated expression softened when he noticed the caller's identity.

With a small smile on his lips, he answered the phone and said,

"Assalamualaikum Afiyah."

He heard wailing on the other side, and his tone of voice changed to one of concern.

"Walaikum Assalaam, Bhaiya". Sobbing, Afiyah responded.

"What happened Afiyah, Why are you crying?" Asked Shehzad with worry.
