Regret or Fear.

We let fear control us yet we don't want to be controlled. But fear can't control us if we don't give it a chance to do that. Don't let fear control you.

A few days later, Yusuf couldn't stop looking at Armaan's box after Emad Ahmed had given it to him every single night before finishing his studies.

Emad Ahmed watched as his friend looked through the box while trying to hold his emotions inside, especially when he would pass by Yusuf's room, he would see him looking through the box.

"Yusuf, come on. You need to stop whatever you are doing to yourself. You are hurting yourself..."

"I am fine..."

"Really? Then why are you always looking through the box almost every single night," Emad Ahmed asks him. The expression on Yusuf's face was shocking. "Yes, I know. Because I know you and I know that what you feel is real for her," he added, taking a seat on the chair that was near Yusuf's desk.

"I...feel stupid because of the way I treated her when I could have just told her that I am the childhood best friend that went away," Yusuf tells his friend with a sad look on his face. "And now, I don't think she will accept me..."

"What makes you say that? Is it because of the guy she is sitting with in class?" Emad Ahmed asks Yusuf who is shocked that he knows about that. "Yes, I know because I keep seeing them in the library studying, and if you keep this up, then you will lose her for good," he added smiling sadly.

"I know but how do I get myself out of the situation I am in? I lied to her and told her that my name is Faiz which is my father's name," Yusuf explained to Emad Ahmed who was trying to hold his laughter because how would Faiz react when he learned that his son used his name?

"Go ahead laugh," Yusuf added making Emad Ahmed laugh out loudly without any care. "But seriously how will I ever tell her the truth?".

"You could start by being her friend. Dont you have a project coming up about making a model of the human heart of something..."

"How do you know about that?" Yusuf asks him raising his eyebrows. "I know that you are taking business and not medicine, right? Or did you change careers at the last minute?" Yusuf asks him. And he thought for a few minutes before shaking his head.

"Never mind. I think I know who told you. And don't you dare deny it," he added shaking his head at his friend.

"No, I will not deny it but all I am saying is that this is your chance to get to know her before you tell her who you are. She won't be happy about you lying to her but she might understand..."

"Emad Ahmed, I know how Armaan is plus when she tells her father thats when I will need backup. Because her father is overprotective of her, her mother, and her siblings," Yusuf tells him. "She will be more than mad at me because there's one thing that she hates and that is lying," he added putting everything back into the box and taking it to his cupboard for safe-keeping.

Meanwhile, Inaya was trying so hard not to tell Armaan the truth about what she did to the box.

But the main question is will Armaan be able to forgive her for lying?

"Ina, are you alright? Did something happen?" a worried Armaan asks her friend when she isn't responding to her calls.

"I am just worried about something but dont worry, I will be okay," Inaya tells her friend who nodded. "What did you need?" she asked.

"There's a project coming up and I dont know if your brother will be my partner because of..."

"Asya. Don't worry, I don't think that you will have to worry about her because she isn't the type of girl to easily get jealous. Plus, she is the same class as you guys and maybe they will pick each other as partners," Inaya tells her trying to be subtle because she knew that Yusuf would want to be Armaan's partner in the project.

"I know but all I am saying is that there's a possibility that the teacher would make us partners and I don't want his fiancee to think..."

"I don't think that she will. Besides, she has been his friend since childhood, and their engagement was something that both sides wanted. And my brother finally got the chance to be happy after what happened in our family. So you have nothing to worry about," Inaya tells her smiling at her.

Unless he makes a move then I guess Armaan will have to find another partner. But deep inside I know that Emad will pursue Yusuf to be her partner. Even though I haven't seen what or how he looks like, I know that my friend deserves someone who won't give up on her no matter how or what happened with their family.

"Okay, now can we get back to studying or do you need another break?" Armaan asks her friend who shakes her head.

"No, I don't. I just want to say that I am sorry for whatever mistake I will or have made to you in the past or in the coming future. Don't ask me anything else. When the time comes you will understand more," Inaya says surprising Armaan.

"Okay. I guess I will have to wait for that time. And one more thing Ina, I might get mad at you but I won't hate you. Besides, you are just like a sister to me," Armaan says to her.
