Rayyan's POV :

As I entered my room, the wave of nostalgia hits me. I looked around my room to find the room was neat and clean.

The bedsheets was spread neatly.  My books and school trophies are arranged on the shelf.

The prizes and awards kept without any dust. I walked towards my closet to see it was also arranged neatly.

There were some brand new outfits which my parents had brought for me.

My things kept exactly at the same place where I leave them when I visited last time.

My ammi keep my things clean in the hope that may be I will come back and stay with them.

I heard a knock at door to see a butler standing with my bags. I give him space to enter my room and he came and kept my bags in my room.

I started unpacking my bags and started arranging my clothes in the wardrobe.

I was keeping my watches and perfumes in the drawer when the door creaked open.

I turn too see Haroon, my best friend standing at the door with his usual grin on his face.

I looked at him and a huge smile came on my face. I went towards him and took him in a brotherly hug. I broke the hug and asked him

"Haroon tum aa bhi gye Europe se or tum ne btaya bhi nhi?!!"

He replied "Haan yaar, mene socha surprise dunga tumhe. Me toh tumhare penthouse bhi gya tha but waha Jaake toh me khud hi surprise ho gya.

Tumhare guard ne btaya ki tum yaha shift ho gye??"

He asked me or almost Complaint. I take him towards the balcony and we sat there.
I said to him

"Saach batao toh mujhe khud nhi pata tha ki me yaha aaj hi shift ho jaunga. Even me toh aapni cheeze bhi nhi laaya tha".

"Haan, mujhe mila tha zain neeche usne btaya mujhe ki Aunty ka order tha ki tum ab yahi rahoge". He said to me.

I just hummed simply. Then after a pause he asked me

"Tum khush hona?" He said staring at my face.

I looked at him suddenly and shrugged my shoulders.

"I don't know. Like I want to stay with them but I can't shook of the feeling of living as a stranger in my own house".

I replied being honest. I agreed them to stay here but I missed my independence and solitude.

He then kept his hand on my shoulder and said

"Look Rayyan, I know you are not that type of person who easily shares his feelings with everyone. But you need to understand that they are your family. You can talk to them. You can share your feelings with them.

You never deny anything to them, you always obey what they said but it's your life. You had a right to choose what you wants. I know you are the eldest son of your family but it doesn't mean that only you have take responsibility of everything.

You should have take a break from all this".

"I can't do this haroon, everybody had a lots of expectations from me. And I can't run away from my responsibilities like this.

I am fine. I am just shifted here that's why I m feeling like this. I will get normal by some days".

I completed my sentence and give him an assuring smile. He was not looking fully convinced but he gave me a nod and then said

"Accha mujhe zain ne btaya ki tum dusri city jaa the ho shadi me??"

"Haan yaar, jaa rha hu. Bus packing hi karne wala tha".
I replied him.

"Ok then I should take a leave. I have some work in the company".
He said getting up from his seat.

I also stood up and went behind him to leave him. We bid goodbye and then I started packing my things.

Time had passed and we had leaved for our destination. It takes almost 3 hrs to reach there.

We stayed at the new five star hotel there.

It was the time of evening and till now phuppo's family also reached there.

Ammi, abbu,  chachu, chachi along with phuppo and phupa have their separated rooms.

Meanwhile, we four brothers stay in one room. Fawad hadn't come here because of the fate happening in his college.

Zaina, rasha and farwa  shares the same room.

They all started getting ready for the function meanwhile zain and rehan started their search for the movie to watch tonight.

I was working on my laptop when zahaan came and took the laptop from me. I glared at him.
He simply shrugged his shoulders and said

"Bhai hum itni mehnat kar rahe hai movie dhund ne me or aapke kaam khatam nhi ho rhe hai!!".

I said to him "tum log movie dhund rahe ho, bna nhi rahe jo itni mehnat lag rhi ho".

I said with the gritted teeth.

Then zain said "bhai baat ek hi hai. Aap ek kaam karo ki kuch acchi jagah se kuch order karlo. Bohot bhook lagi hai".

He said with his puppy eyes. I sighed at his dramatics and started ordering something.

Just then, rasha came and informed us about their leave. I got up went towards her and said

"Rasha, ammi ke saath rehna or zaina or farwa ko bhi saath hi rakhna. Koi bhi stranger se baat mat karna. Or especially ladko se dur rehna".

I said to her. She said " bhai, I know. You always says this same thing. And i m not a kid now".

She complained scrunching her nose.

"Mere liye abhi bacchi hi ho". I said pinching her nose lightly.

I am a bit possessive towards my sisters. I never tolerate any boy around them other than us.

She sighed and then walked out of the room.

We bid goodbye to our family and they left for the event.
