Rooh-e-Zindagi (soul of life)

8|First time

It has been several minutes since Aabis left the shop in hurry but his oldest and his youngest were still looking at the door hoping for him to come back.

Arzoo was weeping silently as she felt all alone even though she was standing right next to her oldest brother. A brother she had no idea about.

"Excuse me." A lady who wanted to get something from the aisle Ashaar was leaning by said.

Ashaar snapped out of his thoughts moved aside. He rubbed his face and looked at Arzoo who was silently weeping and crying. She was continuously looking towards the door hoping for Aabis to come back.

Ashaar had no idea how to communicate with her but standing here only was not the option he decided to take her along with him. Going home wasn't a better idea aswell so he decided to take her to office and let his PA handle this all.

He didn't spoke a word but gently held her little wrist and started walking with her.

"No no!" Arzoo wailed.

"Excuse me!" The salesgirls who saw Arzoo shopping with Aabis stopped him as she thought he was taking her forcefully.

She tried touching Arzoo to pull her back but Ashaar's instincts were fast. He held shielded her immediately.

"Mam! I think ap mujhe nahi janti! Mera naam Ashaar Hamdaani yeh mere fath.. Meri choti bhen ha. My father had to leave because of an emergency so I am the one taking her back home." Ashaar's voice was sharp.

"Beta ap theek ho?" The girl nodded at Ashaar but still bent down to ask Arzoo. Arzoo looked at Ashaar and nodded. Her father asked her to trust him so she will.

"Come." Ashaar guided her away.

"Sir apki cart." The girl said behind but Ashaar ignored it. Arzoo kept on looking at her cart filled with all her favourite stuff toys and her new gadgets.

"Ap kon hai? Baba ne aisa kyu kaha ap mere bhai ha? Mere ek hi bhai ha mujhe ghar jana ha mama baba pass!" Arzoo cried as they entered inside the elevator.

Ashaar felt like kicking himself. He had never thought that this would happen. He doesn't want to deal with all of this right now. He wants to drop this child to her home but something told him that Aabis has genuinely asked him to keep his princess because something isn't right.

Ashaar had no feeling for this girl even though she has the same blood as him running in her veins but she was not his sister. Ashaar bend down so that he can get eye level, scaring her into obedience was the most better option right now.

He bend down and looked straight in her eye. Something happened to him seeing those brown orbs identical to his Amar. He remembers picking Amar for the first time in hospital and he was the first child of the family with brown orbs. That eyes made him fell in love with him instantly and now he was seeing the same ones again.

There was something about her eyes that screamed about their relationship no matter how much they deny it she was his sister. His blood sister.

"Arzoo!" Ashaar cleared his throat and looked at her.

"Beta apke baba ne apse kaha na wo ajange apko lene? Mein kon hu ye matter nahi krta apke father trust krte ha mujhe pe that is what matters okay? Abhi ap mere sath chalo he will come and get out." Ashaar couldn't say it as firmly as he wanted but the message felt lost on Arzoo.

"Mama pass jana ha! Bhai chaiye." She almost begged with tears.

Ashaar suddenly remembered about Maahad. He knows the boys school as he has dropped him there this morning. Yes taking her to Maahad seemed like the best option.
