Chapter no. 30

After two years.

"Honey, did you pack all your things?" My Aunt asked as she entered the room to check on me.

I glanced around the room to see if I was leaving something.

"Yes, I've packed everything." I smiled.

"Great, now come downstairs. Sarah will come from bank after 2 hours. You will leave then." She explained me.

Then her face fell.
"You've spent five years of your life with us. I have been used to see you around here everyday. Now how would I spend my day without you."

I also saddened at her words. Five years, they never made me feel like it was not my home.

It was decided that I'd go after 2 months when my Medical studies will end. But Mariah was getting married that's why I had to go early. Not that I minded, but I was a bit scared how would they react if they'll see me after five years.

After packing my bags I went into balcony to see Arsal and Arsh already sitting on the wall, swinging their legs liesurely. Arsal had some meeting with his Client but he declined saying he has much Important thing to do.

See me off.

Arsh was first to notice my presence, he came to me and hugged me tightly.

I didn't mind and put my head against his chest.

"Five years ago, when I had met you I did not know I'd grow so much fond of you. You're leaving me here alone. I, I had thought we'll do this doctor's duty together in the hospital. You are not like my sister. You are more than my sister. Heck, I've never felt this special for Arsal as I feel for you. That Allah has sent you to be my sister. Hareem, I love you and I'll miss you. Harry." He finished, his eyes were red of tears and his nose and cheeks resembled his eye's color.

I felt myself crying too. I hugged him again as he pecked my hairs lightly Making me feel like little sister.

"Arsal." I said to get his attention.

I heard him sniff, when he turned around his eyes were wet and red.

He's crying.
Oh God!

"Harry, I'll miss you. And I-" he stopped for a moment, thinking something then shook his head and said.
"No, I'll just miss you."

He finished his two lines.
Arsh glared at him.
"That's all you got to say?" He snapped at him.

"What else I was supposed to say?" Arsal challenged him.

Arsh looked at him in disbelief and said.
"Nevermind."

Then I poked Arsh in ribs.
"How's it going with my Cousin?"
A shy smile appeared on his lips as I teased him.

"Aww, look he's blushing." His complexion was so white that despite Asian background his face could turn Red.

I was Very Happy when he got engaged with Sarah last year. And that was first time I saw him blushing. He looked so adorable that I had to refrain myself to pinch his cheeks after every second.

Sarah worked in a bank, Arsh fortunately had got his Ward in the hospital. I didn't though. I had to start my career from MY CITY.

The five years didn't change me, but the two years did.  Two years before something happened that turned my life upside down, made me realize that what I had been doing was nothing but stupid.

I still was same, Atif Aslam's Fangirl Hareem. The simple yet outgoing girl. The chatter box though had stopped two years before, I stopped talking that much. I stopped being immature and Childish there was no chance when He-

Nevermind.

I walked up to my train, biding goodbyes to everyone I had learnt to love in the five years. I had that deja Vu feeling when tears slid down my cheeks.

More tears ran down as I realized that there wouldn't be any Arsh to lift up my mood, no Arsal to listen to my chatter, No Tabrez to bicker with, No Sarah spend my nights with.

No one.
