My heart hammered hard. Pulling up my hands infront of my face I prayed, prayed for Allah to let Seher be all fine. She was the only family I had. My only family... And I did not want to loose her. Not like my Ammi and Abbu. It's was just like this the last time too. I was happy.. Very happy and then our world crashed down. It broke apart... My mind started wondering in the red zone, the zone I had blocked out 4 years back. Wanting to break free from it.

It was the day my result had came, my class 12th board. I was so excited, yet so nervous.
Will it be good? Did I lived up to my parents expectation? Did I...
A lot of thoughts ran around in my mind as I waited. Waited like hell, for my result to be announced. Though the result was all available on the web, but our school believes in delivering the result first to the students. They actually are something.
I heard my name being called out as I stood up to take it, heart racing fast as hell. As I glanced down at my result, I glanced up at my class teacher - Mr. Sanjeev. He passed me a smile as I went back at my seat, beside Seher. She took it from me as soon as I sat. Her eyes widened as she took me in a bear hug. I had topped my state and had actually achieved 97% . It is a good score and I am pleased, very very much. The class teacher dissmissed us as we all took to leave.
- You coming home?
I asked Seher as we stood at the entrance of the school.
- Nope, me Natz and Rahul are leaving for Mc.D.
- Kay, see you soon.
I hugged her as she took her bag and left.
I walked over to the car waiting at the door.
- Good afternoon, chah-cha.
I sat at the back seat as Abdul chah-cha drove me home.
