"Ap mujhe talaq dey deh."
Hearing this Shehbaaz lost his temper, he pulled Mashael by her waist. Mashael directly fell on shehbaaz's chest.
Gripping mashael's jaw he pulled her near

"Aj keh diya, agar phir kabhi meine suna mujsey bura koyi nahi hoga."

Shehbaaze left her and gave a distance between them.

Tears was falling down Mashael's eyes, with the leftover courage she had, Mashael said

"Kyun? Kyun nahi deh satte mujhe talaq?"

Shehbaaz eyes turned red, tears were begging to come out. It finally fell when he heard

"Dum ghutta hain mera."

He looked at her

"Dum ghutta hain tumhara?"

He took hold her hand and started to caress it.

"Please, si-"

He cut her off

"Sir nahi! Ek baar tumsey mera naam sunna chahta hu."

Mashael was shocked, tears were falling as if it had no end

"S-sh-ehbaaz." She uttered softly with stuttering

He cupped her face and attached his forehead with her.

"Bolo na shehbaaz."

"S-shehbaa-z."

Both of them were crying continuously, Shehbaaz eyes fell on the lips of Mashael. Mashael's doe eyes were on Shehbaaz

Shehbaaz inched closer and closer and attached his rough lips to her soft ones. It was not an ordinary kiss it felt somethibg magical as if a perfect puzzle, neither that soft nor passionate, it was full of emotions.
Feeling out of breathe they pulled away from each other.

Her eyes was full unspoken words. Shehbaaz caressed her hair while saying

"Mein tumhare bina nahi Ji satta, meri jaan ho tum. Ik lamha tumhare begair sochti hoon toh mere saanse band ho jaate hai. Bakhuda tumhare bina kabhi raha na usi din meri saans e ruk jana hain."

Hearing this mashael's eyes widen she had horror on her eyes, still keeping pause on her emotions she said with quivering voice

"Ba-az mein apke liye nahi hoon. Bhul jaye mujhe."

Hearing her words, shehbaaz understood this is the end of their journey

Detaching himself from her, he wiped away his tears and went out of room slamming the door hard. As soon as Shehbaaz left the room, mashael broke on her knees and started sobbing out loud.

The next day,
It was night time, and the walima of wahaj and javera

The hall was shinning, the youngsters were taking care of the guest along with the guest. Mashael and khunaas entered the hall. But there were no emotion her face. She looked around to see everyone adoring wahaj and javera. Javera was blushing and wahaj was sitting beside her fixing her head piece which seemed to moved a little.

Everyone was busy in the functions. Her eyes were looking for someone particular. Her eyes was desperately looking for him.

She was really lost to find him that she didn't realise her mother was calling her

"Mashael! Mashael!"

Coming to sense, she said

"Jee ammi?"

"Kaha kho gaye ho?"

"Kahi bhi nahi."

"Acha suno mein bhabhijana ke paas ja raha hoon, tum na shiza aur dua key pass jao."

"Jee ammi."

She went toward the youngersters

Rameen was all jumpy and laughing and talking all free minded

Suddenly there came an announcement, she looked up to she see it was faizaan standing on the stage

"Assalamualikum to everyone , apka bohat sukriya mere bhai aur pyaari bhabhi key walima pey ane key liye. As its the first wedding of our family, toh isliye ek chota sa couple dance ki arrangements ki hain hamne. So sab apne apne partners ka haath thamle aur jo meri tarha bina partner ke hain, ap kursi tham key beth jaye aur apna dil maat chota kijiye ga."

The whole hall laughed at his mischievous behaviour.
Soon lot of couple came to the center along with wahaj and javera who was in the center. Lights were dimmed.

Mashael was standing, when she heard the voice she was eagerly waiting to hear.

She looked back to see

Umar and rameen was saying something more like trying to persuade him

"Are sherry bhai kuch nahi hota. Please please!"
Rameen Said

"Nahi Meen, bilkul bhi nahi."

"Kyon?" This time it was faizaan

"Are nayi pasand yeh chize mujhe."

"Mujhe pata sherry bhai kyun nahi raji ho rahe hain." Said umar

"Kyun?" Asked Meen

"Kyunki bhai key paas partner nahi hain na."
Said umar behaving like a love guru

Before Shehbaaz could say anything else, meen jumped

"Are yeh baat hain, ruk jao." Saying that Meen started to look around when her eyes fell on me she called me

"Mashael baji idher ana jara."

I came towards them, looking at me Shehbaaz face expression from the happy expression it turned to more cold

"Baji apka koyi partner hain?"

I nodded my head negative

"Toh baas tai hain, hamare new couple sherry bhai aur mashael baji."

Everyone there started to cheer. But I knew baaz will never agree after what happened last day. Suddenly I felt hold by a big palm.

I was taken to the space where everyone was dancing.

His face had the same cold face.

He put his arm around my waist, I put my hand on his shoulder and we started dancing like other couple around us but what was going through me I don't think no one else is feeling this emotion.

We both had our eyes fixed on each other.

Lost in their feelings, unknown of the world they were following the rhythm of their heart. An unknown attraction was pulling them closer and closer

"Jab maula neh inka jor banaya hain
Koy mamuli insaan kon hota hain inko alag
Karne wala."
