He entered his house totally drenched in water. His mother came runningly.

"Kya haal Kiya hua hai. Kahan the tum murtasim?", maa begum asked.

"Bas kaam se gaya tha, baarish aa gayi toh bheeg gaya tha", he replied.

His mother suspiciously looked at him.

"Tum toh car le kar gaye the?"

"Jaane dijiye na maa bhai aise hi bhig gaye hain", marium entered there with a towel.

She handed him the towel and gestured for him to leave. He gets the opportunity and silently heads towards his room.

After changing into dry clothes he sat on his bed. Duo standing in the heavy rain for two hours, now he's suffering from a cold and fever.

He heard a knock on the door.

"Kaun?", he asked.

"Bhai, main hun"

He heard his sister Marium's voice. Je was standing next to the door.

"AA jao marium", he uttered and she entered there only to give him a cup of warm coffee.

"Aapko accha lagega", she uttered with a smile.

He nodded his head silently thanking her.

"Bhai, meerab? Baat Hui usse?, marium asked

"Hmm", he uttered.

"Bhai ek baat bolun?"

"Bolo", he said sipping his coffee.

"Meerab bohot acchi hai, usse kabhi dukh mat dena. Woh sab ko saath le kar chalne walon mein se hai", marium said.

He nodded his head.

"Mujhe pata hai", he said.

"Aap dono ek dusre ke liye hi Bane Hain", saying this Marium went from there.

Sitting in her room alone. Her academic books and notepads are spreading on her study table, a pen was in her hand but her mind was somewhere else. Maybe in delusion or depression.

Something struck her mind and she reached to her phone, which was on the side table near the bed. She took the phone and dialled a number.

"Assalamualaikum", he uttered.

Her heart almost stopped beating. She took a deep breath.

"Wa.... Walaikum assalam", she stammer.

She walked towards the window.

"Kya kar Rahi ho?", she heard him asking her.

"Main toh bas apne room mein hun, padh Rahi thi", she said.

"Busy ho?"

"Nhi toh, Aapki tabiyat kaisi hai?", she asked.

"Main...thi..aacheuu thik hun"

She heard him sneezing.

"Thand lag gayi na?"

"Thoda sa"

"Joshanda pi lijiye na thik ho jayega"

"Mujhe banana nhi aata"

His reply was innocent. She chuckled softly.
