Hi Mohammad

The decision to use 'here' or 'there' in reported speech depends on whether the speaker is still at the location that was referred to as 'here' in the direct speech.

If the speaker is in a different place when the sentence is reported, then you need to use 'there':
- Layla told me to wait there until she came back.
