Modesty Is Beauty

Sick friend

Fareed snapped out of his hypnosis when he parked his car in his friends drive way. He got out of the car and walked to the front door. Taking the duplicate key which his friend has given him for situations like this, he opened the front door and stepped inside.

"Assalamu Alaikum Rayyan, where are you?" He shouted as he closed the door behind him.

"I am here." He heard his faint voice. Just by his voice, Fareed could tell that his dear friend was really sick otherwise he would have shouted.

He walked to his bedroom from where the voice had come and opened the door. The living room looked like a mess but it was much organised as compared to the bedroom which looked like a complete disaster. Sheets were on the floor, open medicine bottles placed on the bed side table and their lids were no where to be seen. Fareed sighed and went to his friend who was lying on the bed.

Rayyan opened his eyes as he heard his best friend opened the door. He smiled weakly at his friend who started organising his room as soon as he came inside.

"What have you done to the place?" Fareed asked finding the lids of medicine bottle and putting them on after washing them with water.

"I couldn't even move for two days you asshole." Rayyan answered.

"What? But you called me today telling me that  you were sick." Fareed said bewildered.

"Yes, because I didn't even know I was out for two days." Rayyam said closing his eyes and getting up on the bed to rest his head against the headrest.

"What do you mean?" Fareed asked scrunching his brows in confusion.

"I mean that I was unconscious for two days." Rayyan answered.

"How so?" Fareed asked stoping for a moment to hear what his friend had to say.

Rayyan didn't answer. Fareed pulled the sheets which was barely covering him off and he opened his eyes to look at Fareed who had an angry expression on his face. Rayyan sighed and decided it was best if he tell him the truth.

"I..I was..I was at the club two nights ago where I met this girl. She was sexy, perfect for a one night stand so I brought her home. Ow! What was that for?" He shouted when Fareed punched him on the arm.

"You are such a..." Fareed stopped himself before he could say anything he would regret.

"I have told you thousand of times to stay away from one night stands but you do all the things which would cause you trouble and nothing else." Fareed shouted.

"I have stopped sleeping with girls now." Rayyan told him at which he galred at him.

"Yeah right! You slept with a girl three days ago and you were unconscious for two days. You gained consciousness few hours ago and you are saying that you have stopped already. Wow!" Fareed said sarcastically.

"Why don't you go and live with your family? At least then there would be someone to take care of you all the time. You were unconscious for two whole days, anything could have happened. You could have died. Why don't you understand?" He finished throwing his hands in air with frustration.

He had told Rayyan to live with his parents again or at least stay in touch with them but Ammaar was too stubborn to listen to anyone.
He just shook his head at his best friend.

"My parents cannot stay with me all the time either." Rayyan told him and he smiled.

"Right! So there is only one option left. Get married. Your wife can stay with you all the time." Fareed winked at him and he huffed in exasperation throwing a cushion at him.
