At that evening, I was thinking about what happened at school. About how we made a club and how I knew that Ritika girl transferred here. Why didn't she find another glorious school and just study there?

There was a knock on my door.

"Please open it, Afham," I told him.

Afham opened the door.

"Oh! Assalamu Alaikum, Zanu!" Afham suddenly greeted the guest.

"Walaikum Salam." The guest replied.

I peeked out and I saw my cousin Zanu, Zanha and Yasir!

I ran and went to the front door.

"Zanu!" I hugged the tiny seven year old, who is also my cousin and my best friend Yasir's sister.

"Whoa, whoa! What a scene. It's her you all cared about, huh? What about me?" Yasir whined.

My bro went and hugged him, "Hey bro! It's so nice to meet you. I miss you a lot." He dragged his words as his affection when he saw someone he misses.

"You're gonna break my bones Afham. Let me go!" Yasir nervously chuckled.

"It was you who asked for it," my brother replied, winking.

"Assalamu Alaikum," my mother greeted and she just come from the kitchen.

"Walaikum Salam, aunty. How are you?"

"Alhamdulillah. I am fine, son. What about you and Zanu?" She asked, hugging Yasir and Zanha.

"Alhamdulillah. We all are fine, aunty," Zanu said in her cute voice.

"Masha Allah. You've grown up, darling." my mom smiled and took Zanu to the kitchen.

Afham went to his room.

"Hey, Why are you here?" I asked Yasir, feigning my glare to him.

"So I cannot be here, then. You're so cruel!" he also faked his whining, "I will not bring Zanu here, then, since you slashed me out of your home's welcome list."

"I am kidding bro. Let's talk from upstairs," I giggled and he followed upstairs.

We sat on the sofa upstairs and chilled for a while.

"Are you okay? I heard you fainted." Yasir asked me.

I shushed him before he goes further.

"Lower your voice bro. Mom doesn't know about it."

"Oops, Sorry" Yasir replied.

It's just weird that the clinic didn't call my parents when I fainted. But it's good thing that they didn't.

"So you are saying that Zayn is back?" Yasir asked me.

Oh yes, I chatted Yasir about Zayn before he came here.

"Yeah."

I told him all about what happened near the cafeteria and how I fainted. He was not there at that time as he had a basketball match.

" Zayn's return is not the problem. The problem is that why I fainted."

"I think its 'cause of Ritika. She might have brought back the memories of Lyn."

Hearing her name made us both silent and hurt.

"I miss her a lot," Yasir said after a long time.

"Me too" I replied silently.
