Arsalaan had everyone yet no one. He had a family, his father's younger brother's family was still alive and they stayed with him, for sure.

But they were there for the name sake. They stuck around because of his wealth and nothing else. He could't care less.

His Mom and Dad are no more, all he had in the name of blood related family was his only little sister, who was battling for her life in the ICU. He stood outside the ward, helplessly as he eyed the stains of blood on his shirt. He cannot imagine a life without her and seeing her in that state, unconsciously; with a cut on her wrists has broke him from within. He couldn't erase that image out of his mind.

Who knew that his first no to her would cost him this much? He has never said no to her before, he has fulfilled all of her wishes and the first time he does it, she took such extreme step. Why didn't she ever think of him before taking that crazy step?

Tears rolled down his cheeks as he sat on the waiter's seat, waiting for the doctor to come up to him and say that his sister is going to be okay. Apparently she has lost a lot of blood already and it was quite difficult for her to survive, He cannot lose her too, not yet. He loved her to death and can see anything but not her dying. It can be anything but that. He patiently waited hoping nothing but the best.

Suddenly he felt someone else's presence around him, someone who is not his so called family. He has banned them from visiting here anyways. Snapping his head curiously, he saw who it was and it turned out to be a girl, a girl who he has seen before.

He saw her just yesterday and was surely surprised as she gave him a handkerchief, she had no reason to do that yet she did it and it shocked him, it sure has.

"It'll be alright, have trust in Allah." she smiled at him assuring-ly as he stared back at her blankly whilst taking the handkerchief.

Trust in Allah. He has lost that long ago when He snatched away the two most important people of his life just at the age of eleven and he doesn't believe in Him anymore.

"Malaika, what are you doing there, come on the doctor gave us permission. We all can go now." yelled a different voice, which was heard from outside of the other ward and she gave him a small smile, a kind one at that.

"Remember to have trust and faith in Allah. He will making everything alright." by saying those words she disappeared, not before turning around and staring at him for the one last time or so she thought.

Arsalaan couldn't think straight anymore
