Next day-
After dropping fariha to zara's home, faaris returned back, he saw zaheda bi's health deteriorating because lack of sleep, her husband died few weeks before, leaving her alone, stress had taken a toll on her and she couldn't sleep, she keeps thinking all the night
"Zaheda bi, aap soyi nahi raat?" He asked noticing her pale face
"Nahi chote baba neend hi nahi aayi" she replied with a weak voice
"Maine kaha tha na aapse, nahi soncha kare itna, aur neend nahi aayi to mujje batana chahiye tha na, acha ruke mai aapko medicine deta hu khakar rest karna" he said softly
He went to his room to bring medicines to her, he opened his drawer, and noticed his medicines where not on its place, being an organised person he could tell at a glance if someone had touched them.
He opened the bottle and found two pills missing from it, he always keeps a count on his medicines, he frowned his eyes and headed to living room where zaheda bi is waiting for him,
"Mama aapne pills li kya?" He asked his tone was firm but controlled, only his mother was allowed to enter his room, he strictly warned everyone to not enter in his room in his absence.
"Nahi beta mai ne nahi li,kyu? Kya hua?? She asked
"Koi mere room me gaya tha kya?" He narrowed his eyes
His mother thought for a moment before responding "Haan shayad fari gayi thi kal".
"Fari?" He repeated
Faaris psychiatrist instincts kicked in, he recalled how fariha was avoiding eye contact, her fear over results which was not usual, his mind raced with possibilities.
"Kya hua faaris sab thik hai na" her mother asked worrying
"Kuch nahi mama, mai dekh lunga don't worry" he replied.
"Zaheda bi aap yeh dawai khaye aur rest kare" he handed her medicines and left for his hospital, his mind raced with thoughts of fariha consuming pills, he couldn't shake off the feeling that his sister dared to steal from his room, a sense of concern and anger rushed within him.
Malik mansion-
"Bhaiya tv toh dekhne dein na ,bohut bore horaha hu mai" Umer whined, still in his punishments which included no phone which directly means no screen time, no laptop, no tv, nothing.
"Padhayi karlo bore horahe ho to" Ahaan replied smiling.
"Abhi to exams khatam hue hai" he protested.
Just then, the Doorbell rang and umer deliberately ignored it, pretending he didn't heard it.
"Umer utho dekho koun hai" Ahaan ordered
"Ghar me itne servants hai fir bhi mai hi dikhta hu" he mumbled and reluctantly got up to answer the door.
"Saad bhai, kaise ho aap, bohut din baad aaye ho!!"...umer exclaimed, hugging saad warmly
Saad chuckled "Haa yar tumare bhai ne 2 hafto me itna kaam karwaya na mat pucho" he wiped fake sweat from his forehead.
They both laughed, while taking place on couch in front of Ahaan
"Hogaya kaam" Ahaan asked raising an eyebrow.
"Haa mere baap hogaya, ab mujhe 1 hafte ki leave chahiye" he said grinning
Ahaan rolled his eyes seeing his best friends antics. Saad is the chairman of Malik Industries and best friend of Ahaan.
--------------------------------------------
Fariha returned home, and collapsed onto the sofa. She scanned the room, expecting to see Faaris, but he was nowhere to be found. Assuming he was still at the hospital, she let out a sigh of relief. Little did she know, Faaris was actually in his room, waiting for her.
