Entry Exams To Medical School.

Armaan was ready and nervous about the entrance exam she would be attending in half an hour. It was one of the most important requirements for her to gain entrance to her dream university.

But her father Fahd wasn't letting her go without giving her a call to ensure that she was alright.

Even though he disliked the fact that Armaan chose to stay at the hostel instead of at home with them.

"Dad, I will be fine. Plus, it's the entrance exams that I have been studying for and now I have to go and take it so that I will get entrance to my dream university...."

"I know, Aru but I am still worried about you staying in a hostel when you could just stay home with us," Fahd explains to his daughter who just shakes her head knowing how overprotective he is toward her.

"Dad, I am not staying alone. Besides, I am staying with Inaya, who is studying business administration and you have known her all her life. Now, I need to hang up and get ready to go to the hall. And one thing Dad, I love you so much and you are always going to be my hero", Armaan tells her father who can't help but smile on the phone.

"I know but I am still worried about you and I love you too habibty", Fahd tells his daughter.

After hanging up, Inaya looked at her best friend with love in her eyes knowing that Armaan had found the best father that she wished she had.

Inaya hasn't had the best life that Armaan had. She didn't feel any envy or even jealousy because Armaan had always treated her like a sister rather than a friend.

"Hey, are you alright?" Armaan asks her best friend. "I know what you are thinking, but always remember that you are always welcome to stay with us at home. Mum and Dad will always welcome you with open arms. And always have patience that Allah will always be there with you", she added, hugging her best friend.

"I know that. But you need to get going and so do I. I still have a morning class and I wonder why I registered for a class at eight instead of eleven. Now I will have to suffer the consequences", Inaya tells her, making Armaan laugh.

"Okay, but don't worry you still can change your classes later on. But for now, I need to go before I miss my place. Love you sis. Take care and say hey to Emad..."

"Aru...."

Armaan walked out laughing while leaving her best friend yelling after her. But what she didn't expect was to run straight into someone.

A guy.

"I am sorry...I didn't see you," Armaan tries to apologise to him but all she gets is silence.

When she looked to see who it was that she had run into, she could only see his back walking away from her.

"Idiot".

Breathe Aru. This has always been your dream and no one can take that away from you, not even the memories of him. He is in the past and that's where he belongs.

Armaan quickly walked into the hall and found her seat which unfortunately was beside the guy that she ran into in the hallway.

"Okay, this will decide whether you will be qualified to be in Shehzad University and you will have two and a half hours to do the exams. Good luck and you may start as soon as you hear this bell", the organizer tells them.

As soon as the papers were being distributed, the students started writing on their papers.

Ya Allah, this is for Yusuf even though he forgot about me. And most importantly this is for my parents. I wish to make them proud of who I will be.

Just for them.

After two hours, Armaan was done with her paper but she needed to review it for half an hour before submitting it to the organiser.

Armaan looked around to see who had finished their paper but all she could see was the guy looking at her without blinking.

Why is he looking at me? He does look familiar but he is still a weirdo.

She felt like he knew who she was but Armaan didn't know who he was as he just stared at her without saying anything.

When she saw the opportunity to go and give her paper to the organiser, she took it.

Armaan walked toward the front and handed her paper to the organiser who nodded and let her go back to her seat.

It turns out that the guy who was staring at her was none other than Yusuf couldn't help but continue staring at her and knowing how close he was to her yet he couldn't tell her who he was to her.

I guess we do have the same dreams. Both of us are doctors and In shaa Allah we will be but I need to stay away from her.

Yusuf couldn't help but admire the way she carried herself and the one she behaved. She has truly grown into a beautiful woman that any man would be lucky to have.

Except him.

Yusuf couldn't help but remember what his best friend Emad told him about Armaan.

"Will you be able to let her go when someone else will take your place? I don't think you would because I can see how you are clenching your jaw when I say those words. I can also tell that you will never forget her...."

"I have to do it....."

"No, you don't have to do anything. You need to follow your heart and tell her who you are or watch someone else take your place".

Yusuf shook his head dismissing the thoughts of telling her who he was.

Her Yusuf.

Her childhood best friend.

"Okay, now that all of you have done the test. The results will be posted tomorrow on the notice board. They will be categorized into three different categories. Like; The Aces. The Betas and The Omegas. You will be explained what they mean as soon as you receive an email explaining which category you belong to", the organizer explains to them. "That will be all. You may go back to your rooms until tomorrow and good luck to you all," he added dismissing them.

Armaan gathered her belongings and walked out of the hall heading to her room to get some rest and then heading to the lunch hall to get some food with Inaya.

"Hey, I just want to say sorry for ignoring you that time. I was in a hurry to get to my seat", Yusuf tells Armaan after stopping her from going out of the hall.

"It's fine. Don't worry about it. Excuse me", she tells him. And then she walks away from him.

This surprised him a lot and hurt him.

He didn't expect that from her but knew what her father was like.

Fahd Zain is someone that shouldn't be messed with especially when it comes to his family.

"Bro, are you alright?" Emad asks him while he walks into their room.

"I saw her and it hurt when she didn't recognise me but it's what I want and it...."

"It felt like your heart was breaking into pieces. I told you so, Yusuf. But that's up to you. It is your decision and I will always support you just as you supported me", Emad says, cutting him off.

"I will always support you. Besides, you two deserve to be happy and I am glad that I helped you in talking to your families about your relationship to make it halaal", Yusuf says to him making Emad smile remembering what he had done for his friend.

"Are you ready to know your results? I bet you're nervous right?"Emad asks his friend.

"Not really, I am not even nervous but I wonder what Armaan will score..."

"If she is anything like you. I would say you and her will have the perfect score and you might even compete in getting the perfect score in every test and exam", Emad says, interrupting him.

"That's true. We have always been competitive even when we were kids and it was hilarious for our parents especially when they would check our report cards and see that we almost got the same marks", Yusuf explains to Emad laughing remembering the memories that he and Armaan had.

Emad smiled at his friend but he knew that Yusuf won't be able to handle someone else in Aru's life.

I just hope you won't break your promise, Yusuf. But I will always support you no matter what just like you supported me.
