After a week. Again it’s the last day of the week. Thursday.
I am right now in front of my desk working on some projects in the office. But suddenly my phone rang. I looked up and it was an unknown number.
I picked it up.
"Assalamualaikum. Who's this?", I said. Then someone speaks and suddenly my heart clinched.
"Walaikumus salam. Api? Is that you?", he said. My brother Zayan Khan.
"Zayan? Is that you? ", I asked. I was trying hard to hold back my tears. It’s been months I haven’t seen him. I haven’t seen Ammi. And abbu, I am sure he still doesn’t care about me.
"Yes. Api. It’s me. How are you? You didn’t contact us in those months and I know why. I understand. So I asked Riya api if she has you number or something. And she give me your new number.", he said. I went to the washroom because I knew I am definitely gonna end up crying.
"Alhamdulillah bhai. I am fine here. What about you? And I am sor..sorry to not con..contacting you guys. I..I didn’t con...contact you guys be..because if ab..abbu find out about this you...you guys will be in trouble for me. That's...that's why.", I said. And now I am crying.
"I know api. Don’t cry. It’s fine. We are here fine. But mom always cries for you in her prayer. We really miss you.", he said.
"I know bhai. But..but I couldn’t help it. I know abbu was so angry with me. Did he do anything with you guys?", I asked. Abbu can do anything. He may torture them by getting angry with me.
"Yeah he is. But he didn’t do anything. I feel suspicious you know api. Cause I've never seen him so calm.", he said explaining the situation.
"What? He was calm? How? No bhai now I am terrified.", I said.
"Yes api. But don't be scared. We are here for you. Just don’t be scared. And right now I am outside. Or else you could have talked to ammi.", he said.
"Oh no no. It’s fine. I talked to you. I am feeling good. Give my salam to ammi. And bhai listen please don’t give this number to anyone. Okay?", I said.
"I know api. Stay safe. And I heard you got a job? Alhamdulillah, I am so happy for you.", he said.
"Yes bhai. I did got a job. Right now I am at my office. ", I said.
"Oh okay then. I gotta go now. Stay safe okay. Allah Hafeez. ", he said.
"Allah Hafeez. ", I said and cut the call. I am so happy right now. After a long time I got to heard from him. Although riya was giving me time to time update. After changing my phone number, I give my number to riya. So that I can know what's going on there.
But something hit me. I was thinking that why abbu is so calm. Normally he is short tempered. And for me, it’s impossible for him to stay calm. Then why? What is he plotting?
I just hope he doesn’t do anything to ammi and zayan. I know I did wrong but I also want him to understand me. My feelings.
[Okay now let me introduce our new character.]

Zayan Khan
Joya's brother. He is one year younger then her. Loves his bike and loves to do sketch.
Then I went to my desk and finished my work. I quickly went to my home. I am feeling kinda happy today.
So I made myself a good dinner. I prayed my Isha Salah and got ready for a good sleep.
But when I was about to go to my bed. My phone rang. Again it’s an unknown number. I got confused who is calling me at this late hour.
I picked up the call.
"Assalamualaikum. Who's this?", I asked.
"Oh Walaikumus Salam. Joya api! It's me Mira. Remember?", she said.
Mira? Ohhhh mira Mr. Shawn Ahmed's sister.
"Oh yeah I remember. Ms. Mira. How can I forget you. How are you?", I asked.
"Yeah Alhamdulillah. I heard you are working at my brother's company. I should have called you way earlier but I was busy with my studies you know. Sorry about that.", She said.
"Oh Ms. Mira. I am so grateful that you actually remembered me. And yes I am working at your brother's company.",I said.
"Oh please api. Don’t address me so formally. Just call me mira.", she said.
I smiled. "Okay, mira. But I have a question. How do you got my number?", I asked out of curiosity.
"Oh, I found a project file in my brother's office. And it was yours. There was you contact number.", she said.
"Oh I see.", I said.
"Whatever. When you left that day without informing us, I was seriously so worried. But then I was informed that you are working here. And I was relieved. So what was I saying that let's meet. What's say?", she said.
"Huh? You want to meet me?", I asked.
"Yes don’t get me wrong. But I am still worried actually. How are you doing? How's your life? So let's meet na, please.", she said.
Woah, I didn’t know a stranger who barely knows me was worried for me.
"Oh, okay. Let's meet then. And thank you for caring about me.", I said.
"Great then let's meet in front of your office. Allah Hafeez. ", she said happily.
"Okay, Allah Hafeez. ", I said. Then she cut the call.
