An eighteen years old boy was sitting in front of a computer in a gaming center. He had headphones on his ears, looking like an anime character with his beautiful face and red blinded hair. His golden hazel eyes were shining with computer screen light. He was pushing the buttons of the keyboard in a rapid way, holding his lower lip with teeth, fixedly staring at the screen. He was playing a fighting game. His opponent was playing the same game sitting beside him. Two boys were standing on either side of them, cheering them up. Both players were trying hard to win the game. Eventually the red blonde boy won. He took a deep breath removing headphones from his ears. Seeing his opponent staring at him in anger , he shrugged innocently.
"Superb Sufyan. You are a genius. I believed you would win. " Ali exclaimed and turned to mohid who was Sufyan's competitor.
" I warned you to not challenge him, you will lose. But you didn't listen to me and see , you lost the game." He was as proud as if he had won the game.
"It is not a great conquer" , said Mohid angrily.
"But you have lost the bet. Now give us a thousand rupees that was decided before the game," said Bilal.
"What ? a thousand rupees? I have no extra money to give you." Mohid said, wrinkling his nose.
"Hey … liar. How can you go back on your words? You were the one who bet 1000. Should I remind you properly …" Ali proceeded towards him angrily.
"What will you do ... huh?" Mohid also rolled up his sleeves for fighting. Sufyan, who had been patiently enduring their conversation, got annoyed.
"It's enough." He raised his hand and stopped both of them .
" Don't force him. It was just a bet of a thousand rupees. What's the point of fighting in this? The good thing is that we have won the game. That's it. " He said casually to Ali. Ali gaped at him
"I can't let a thousand rupees go like this? You are talking as if you are a millionaire. Don't forget that we are poor and how much is a thousand rupees for us. It was already decided that the loser will have to pay money. Now how can he dare to deny "Ali said angrily.
"We are poor, but not shameless. He is not ashamed of going back on his words, but you should be ashamed of begging for money. It was your fault to bet with him." he said in a huffy manner and headed towards the outside.
"Wait, Sufyan ." Ali wanted to follow him but he stopped and looked at mohid
"I will teach you a lesson later, " he said, gritting his teeth and ran after Sufyan.
"Did Sufyan insult me?" Mohid asked his companion who was hiding his smile.
"Why did you do that, Sufyan? A thousand rupees has gone." Ali said, coming close to him. His remorse was not ending.
"would you stop mourning for those thousand rupees? Yesterday we won a bet of five thousand rupees. Where is that money?" Sufyan asked, stopping walking.
"I gave that money to my mother. You know she is sick. I don't have a penny now. I want to go to a restaurant and eat chicken broast," he said, acting innocently. Sufyan stared at him and then took a thousand rupees out of his pocket taking a deep breath. He gave that money to Ali.
"Don't show me your long face again." Sufyan said. Ali smiled happily and hugged him.
"How many times you will win my heart. You are the bestest friend In the friend. "
"I know. leave me" Sufyan pushed him away, grabbing him by his shoulders. Ali tried to hug him again. Sufyan tightened his grip on his shoulders.
"I'm late. See you tomorrow." Sufyan said hurriedly and walked away.
He was loving, caring and always ready to help his friends. He had a charming personality as well as a good character both. Four years ago, his father , Ehtesham Shah , who was in the army died for the country. Since then he became serious and responsible. He was more mature than his age.
He passed the 12th grade exams gaining top position throughout the entire district. Now he had to go to college for higher studies. He used to play games when he was free. He didn't have his own computer so he went to the gaming center. He was obsessed with playing games. When played for winning and never lost. He liked singing but he had to go in the army like his father as this was her late father's wish. It was important for him more than anything. His mother also wanted this. But he was worried for her as they were poor. He wanted to give all the happiness of the world to her and his little sister. Another person who was important to him was Mah e Roo. Everyone was not away from her like everyone. He liked her bitter words too. He went to see her for two or three days in a week. But he was helpless in some matters related to mah e Roo. He tried to do the best for her as much as he could. He brought medicines and her favourite food for her. That's why she listened to him a little bit.
Now he bought a Zinger Burger for Mah e Roo and came to Shah Palace. Everyone there knew that he came to see just Mah e Roo, so no one paid attention to him. Nayab barely tolerated that he cared about mah e Roo and she couldn't stop him. she was helpless in this matter.
Ignoring them all, Sufyan went upstairs to the third floor. Mah e Roo was not in the room . He came to the terrace where she was seen sitting in a corner talking to her doll
"Maha." He called her, walking towards her. Maha looked at him, raising her face. Her eyes twinkled as she saw him , but a cute frown appeared on her face.
