You Are Not Alone

I am leaving

Khizar was busy with his office work when Pareeshay entered his room pushing the door with her all force that caused the door to bang loudly and hit the wall.

Khizar stared at her angrily, only she and Shajia were the ones who dare to open his office door without knocking or bothering to ask permission.

"How many times I have told you guys to ask permission before entering my room and opening the door slowly, no need to barge in my office in this way, do you guys want to break the door?" Khizar scolds her, but she didn't care, instead, she grinned at him.

"Oh, come 'on, why you are getting so angry, it is not good for your health, cheer up, and for the door, if it's broken then you can replace it, in fact, you should thank us, we gave you the chance of having a new door." Saying to him playfully she slumped at three seated sofas in his office.

Khizar rolled his eyes at her.

"Tell me the reason why you have come here, and shouldn't you be attending your class at this time? You left the class?" crossing his arms he throws back-to-back questions at her.

"Yup, I left the class, and it is because I wanted to talk to you," she said to him.

"We could have talked at home there was no need of missing your class" Khizar definitely didn't appreciate her leaving the class, Khizar left his chair and went to sit with her on the opposite sofa.

"Hey, it's just one class, and you lectured me" she huffed at him.

"Well, leave this, I want to ask you, you were supposed to do my one work, what is the status?"

Khizar knew what she wanted to talk about, when his suspicion got correct, he instinctively holds his head in his palm.

"you've gone mad, finish your studies first and then do your stupid adventures, you have no experience we can't risk losing our money"

Pareeshay got angry at him and picked the vase on the center table to hit him before she hit him, Khizar raised his hand to stop her.

"Hey, that's what your father said" he exhaled when she kept the vase back in its place.

"Oh, that's what dad said, what is your opinion then?" Khizar looked at her and then at the vase, before answering her, he carefully took the vase in his hand.

"My opinion is also the same as your father" Khizar smirked at her, while she yelled at him.

"Brother" and she made a crying face, turned her face from him.

"Pareeshay listen to me" Khizar tried to make her understand.

"I promise I will not do any damage or loss, please talk to dad, I wanted to do that" Pareeshay pleads, upon him calling her to listen to him.

"I was saying keep your legs down, you are making my couch dirty" he ignored her pleading and mocked her.

His words ignite a fire in her, she picked up the cushion and throws it at him but he caught it.

"I knew you'd say dad to not allow me to do it, I shouldn't have talked to you first" she stood from the place and was leaving his room, Khizar sighed at her childishness, but she came back again.

"What did you forgot something?" he asked her, Pareeshay didn't say anything and rubbed her shoes on his sofa, marking her footprints on the couch's cloth.

"Now it is dirty, call someone to come and clean it" saying this to him she runs away from his room not forgetting to sticking out her tongue to mock her cousin.

Khizar sighed and shook his head, putting his weight on his knee to stand and go back to continue his work.

When Hadi and Mahtaj reached the dining room, all the members of the Paracha House had already left for their work and only Tooba was sitting there, feeding her son his breakfast.

When she saw both of them entering, she smiled at them.

"Come you both and eat fast."

"Dad and Uncle had gone for the work?" While eating Hadi asked from Tooba.

"Yeah, they all left, well, uncle told me to inform you to reach early in the office, he has to discuss with you today's meeting agenda" giving morsel to his son, she delivered Ali Paracha's message to him.

Tooba shifts her gaze at Mahtaj who was quietly eating and was having a quick glance at her brother. Tooba pursed her lips to hide the smile that formed at Mahtaj's cute act.

"How are you feeling now?" Tooba liked Mahtaj, but she didn't leave her room that could give her a chance to talk to her.

Mahtaj looked at her surprised, it was not wrong though, since she had come into this house except Hadi no one came into her room or even asked her if she is feeling fine not even her dad.

Before she could answer her, she looked at her brother who was ready to leave, her heart dropped, she doesn't want to stay in this house alone, it was better to stay at her mother's house instead of living here.

Hadi was understanding the quiet message his sister was sending to him, but she has to adjust, there is no other place now where she could live.

"You spend your time with Tooba today, freshen up yourself, set your room, hang your dresses that are still in the suitcase." Instructing her he shifted his attention to Tooba.

"Please stay with her today and check her room if she needs something, place everything that is missing or if she asks you to provide, though I doubt she would ask, also ask the maid to clean her room."

"Don't worry I will do all this and will also take care of her." Tooba happily agreed to him.

"Mahtaj I will come home early today, then we both will sit and have a detailed talk, meanwhile you do what I had instructed you to, okay?" Mahtaj nods at him with a sad face, tears were ready to come out and show her emotions to her brother.

"I am leaving then" ignoring her sadness and tears, he picked up his laptop bag and left the house.
