It was pretty dark outside the car as Farah drove her car on the busy roads of the area while Ahmer was seated beside her on the passenger seat.

Farah adjusted the rear mirror for a moment, placed the lock of hair dangling on her face neatly behind her ear and once took hold of the steering wheel as the signal turned green.

In the meanwhile Ahmer gazed outside the window, checked his phone a few times and unconsciously played with the cuffs of his blue shirt.

"Ahmer, directions?" Farah asked him while taking another rough turn.
"The next left towards the building. " he answered, chuckling at her.
"What? I know the directions, just asking in case." she replied naughtyly.
"I can see that already." he replied softly looking at his phone screen.

"What's wrong with Rohail and Sohaib?" he murmered to himself.
"What happened?" Farah asked while maintaining her eyes on the road.
"They are fighting again." he told her frustratingly, putting his phone down.
"Just like we do." she smirked at him and he turned to her.
"Hmmm yeaaaah." he replied with a mysterious smile all over his face and she laughed carelessly at it.

"I still remember how you ORDERED me to leave your apartment that day and," he said emphasizing on the word 'ordered' following Farah's gaze.
Now Farah was looking into his eyes embarrassingly as she smoothly held the steering wheel.
"And your lifffeeee." he finished.

"And what did you do?" She asked him.
"I stayed there for you, never went anywhere." he answered.
"Yes you came back after a week." she taunted him.

"Because I had to leave to for my presentation, you fought with me an hour before I had to leave for my flight." he objected humorously.
"And the moment I came back, I came to You." he finished smirking at her.
"Can we just not go there." she pleaded him sarcastically and he laughed.

"We already went there," he said and started to look outside the window.
"You know what, you are very sensitive and all you need it is someone to hold you tight." he told her giving a mesmerising smile to her, as a reply to which she smiled back shyly. Then she turned towards the steering wheel while he moved towards the window.

"By the way, baba was behaving really weird few days back when he probably saw me getting out of your car that night." he broke the prolonged silence.
"What??" She laughed.
"I was so frightened." he told her.
"He is such a chill person, I don't know why you fear him so much." she mocked him and he gave an annoyed look.

"So I couldn't tell him everything, like that." he replied.
"Like what?" She asked while honking the horn.
"Like now in a sudden." he answered.

It was a one calm and warm evening. Mahreen was not home nor was Farah but Seher was, and she was strolling restlessly around the house. Suddenly something struck her mind and she rushed into Farah's bedroom, looking for something.

As she entered her room, she randomly turned to her bedside table, and opened the very first drawer of it. She scrolled a few of Farah's things in the drawer and finally closed it.

She then jumped herself up her bed, clutching the pillow, picked it up expecting to find her stuff but she smirked childishly as she again didn't found it.

She turned back and scanned the whole room
"Where did she put that dvd?" She shouted in frustration as her eyes caught her laptop bag laying in the corner of the room.

Seher pov
I noticed Farah's well organised grey laptop bag placed in the corner of her room, on the floor.
I lousyly walked myself to the bag hoping to find my dvd in her bag, and if not, then I can probably watch some thing like a movie or series on her laptop.

I reached and clutching it in my hands, I settled on her tidy bed. I unzipped it, reaching for each and every single thing in her bag, and to my bad, the dvd was not it it.

"Argh." I sighed heavily as I stuffed her things roughly in the bag except her laptop.

I stretched my legs on the bed, and sat with my back alligned with the bed and laptop in my lap.
I turned it on, browsed YouTube on the browser, and finally managed to find a good movie to kill my boredoom.

After almost an hour, I rushed to the kitchen and got myself a can of coke with a packet of chips. I again settled on the bed while munching the chips and drinking coke.

How much I love to spend some time like this, chilling? But sadly my job won't ever let me do it, thank God I finally got some days off.

I was peacefully watching my movie when suddenly an email notification popped on the screen to which I responded by swiping it off the screen irritatingly.

But after a few seconds another email notification popped up, I frustratingly swiped it off again, rewinding the scene when another notification popped but this time, I did read the heading of the email above the screen.

As I read the email, I felt extremely suspicious and without wasting any more time, I clicked it to open. Farah's inbox opened with lots of email from a same email id as the one she just received.

I opened the recent one email with my heart thumping really hard and wrinkles on my forehead. I kneeled forward as I read the whole email from the introductory greetings till the formal bye.

I abruptly closed the laptop flap without turning it off and kept seated on the bed as a number of things were going through my mind just when I heard a familiar voice and I was kicked out of my mind.

"Achooo." Farah sneezed as she made her steps towards her room with a bunch of tissues in her hands.
I immediately stood up from her bed facing Farah who again sneezed and gazed me confusingly as I stood rugged as a rock.

"Hi." she greeted me as she entered the bathroom, and came out in about thirty seconds with her face and hands wet.

"What's wrong with you?" She asked me as I was continuously not answering her questions.
"Farah can we talk?" I said.
"What else are we doing?" She laughingly replied while wiping her face with a yellow towel.

"I saw your email," I said and she placed the towel on the bed, looking at me constantly.
"I saw his email and I want to know what's been happening since months." I finished and she approached me, making me sit on one end of the bed while she took the other end.

"Fine, I'll tell." she replied me slowly.
