Rizwan had thought he will convince Naseem but Naseem looks like he is not gonna get fooled. At least not today. He pushed Rizwan slightly in the passenger seat. He then locked the car.
'What the-'Rizwan thought.
He then came towards the driver's seat and unlocked the car.
"Am I that unreliable?"Rizwan asks with genuine curiosity.
" Absolutely,yes." Naseem replied back with a straight face in no time.
Jeez. Rizwan's doomed. He can't. Naseem can't do that. He starts to think of an excuse as Naseem starts the engine. 'Goodness gracious' he thinks.

"Why won't you say anything??Are you really that much scared??!!" Naseem asks rather amused which Rizwan finds annoying.
" Do you think it's fun??" Rizwan asks not looking in his direction.
"We got the mighty scaredy cat MUHAMMAD RIZWAN going to the dentist before gta 6." Naseem laughs hysterically.
" It's all fun and games until you are on that dental chair." Rizwan says sighing.
"Oh please, I've been on that thing so many times, for god's sake.To be exact, every 2-3 months."Naseem brags.
"I don't care even if you've been on that thing a million times. I'm scared and that's all."He says in a defensive manner.
Naseem grins like a maniac.
"Well you won't be scared anymore. I'm taking you to a very,very,very,very, very trustworthy and professional dentist. He is not scary,not intimidating like most dentists, not harsh,very handsome and wait, isn't that too much, because he's a bit of nuisance.He keeps calling if I don't come home in time. It's a good thing but a little annoying for a grown up, don't you think, Mr scaredy?"He says.
Rizwan just sighs and rolls his eyes, "Whatever. I don't care. You are not that grown up and it's a father's responsibility to make sure his children are home, you dumbass.'Grown up', whatsoever." Rizwan says knowing he couldn't find an excuse the whole ride and they are probably there.
"Right. It's the responsibility of a father, not a brother,you dumbass. He is my brother, you jerk." He replies back.
"Really? How old is he? It's hard to find young successful dentists these days."Rizwan asks genuinely surprised.
"He's 28. And what are you even gonna do after finding a young dentist? It's not like you're going to their clinic." Naseem says in a chill manner.
Rizwan pinched his arm. Naseem just slapped his shoulder back as a revenge.

"Here we are. Come on, Mr scaredy. Nothing will happen to you. Get up, now. " Naseem yaps.
"Do you think he'll let you come without an appointment?? " Rizwan asks noticing his own accelerated heartbeat and respiration rate.
"I own him, you know. " Naseem says looking like a typical younger sibling bragging about their older siblings' achievements.
Rizwan comes out with his hands shaking slightly. Naseem notices when he holds Rizwan's hand to drag him inside the clinic. He shots a Rizwan with a 'a bit too dramatic, don't you think? ' look.
They were about to enter when Rizwan saw the timing board and it said:
Clinic timing

Opens: 5:00 pm

Closes:8:00 pm

"You idiot, look at that."Rizwan slaps his head.
" Holy shi-wait, I can convince him. He is very, very nice, too." Naseem feels his concern alleviated.

They enter the clinic. There was no one there except the turned on lights. The receptionist had probably left. The door to the dentist's room was open though. Naseem took his hand and dragged him once again.Naseem knocked at the door and saw his brother about to leave. Babar saw him and stopped packing. Wait there's someone else, too.
'Isn't that Muhammad Rizwan? '

"Babar bhai, are you leaving? My friend needs an urgent treatment. His tooth is aching. Reason unknown. Could you help?" Naseem asks with a embarrassed and fake smiling Rizwan standing beside him.
"Of course, why not. I can provide help. Well, isn't that Muhammad Rizwan, the Superman?" Babar says with a calm smile on his face,a soft gaze directed towards Rizwan.
Rizwan scratched his nape and replied with, "Yes,nice to meet you."

Still nervous, Rizwan starts to shift in his place. Seeing that,Naseem states loudly, "Chill, my guy, he's not cannibalistic."
Rizwan shushes him in response quickly stealing a glance towards the dentist. The dentist was looking at them, confused.
"And what should that mean exactly? " Babar's calm stare was fixated at Naseem.
Rizwan looked at the dentist and realized he really was handsome, as Naseem said before.
"Babar bhai, he's just a bit scared , nothing els-ouch why on earth would you do that?" Naseem flinches when Rizwan pinches the skin on his shoulder from behind.
Babar just smiles and softly chuckles.
'Does he really finds this fun?' Rizwan thinks.
Naseem swiflty opens his mouth again, "In fact, he is very ,very, very ,very scared. He can't stand dentists. He hates them because he's a scaredy cat. This is all I wanna say in my defense, your honor." Naseem leaves the room and closes the door.
Rizwan just stands there like a statue. He doesn't move. Not until Babar says.
