Dil Jale

Chapter no 1

Aisa nahin hai.

Zaid spoke feeling his throat tighten. His heart ached for her.

Aisa hi hai Zaid.

She spoke and pursed her lips trying to choose her words carefully as she didn't wanted to hurt him.

Main manti hoon main perfect nahin hoon. Mujh mein main hai, egoistic hoon, selfish bhi hoon but....

She stopped and let out a trembling breath. The pressure on her head was suffocating her.

She held his hand and watched his eyes soften, a delicate sheen of tears welling up in them.

But I tried to change myself. Maine khud badalne ki koshish ki.

She added, her voice quivering with emotion.

Zaid,s heart ached hearing her. He closed his eyes and a tear rolled down his cheek. Mubashira reached out, her touch hesitant but tender as she brushed the tear away making Zaid,s heart skip a beat.

Kyunke main tumhein jeetna chahati thi. Apni ego ko satisfy kerna chahati thi.

Mubashira confessed, her words hung heavy in the air and Zaid,s heat shattered loudly in his ears.

Per I ended up falling in love with you.

She added, her voice a mixture of love and sincerity. His heart swelled with warmth hearing her as tears rolled down his cheeks. Mubashira reached out, her hands cupping his face as she gently wiped the tears away from her beautiful eyes.

Main chahati thi ke tum meri taraf bhi ussi narmi, ussi mohabbat se dekho jisse tum Ayra ko dekhte ho.

She confessed, the raw vulnerability in her words made his heart tremble.

She cupped his face tighter as she spoke her voice trembled with sincarity.

Mere andar chahe lakh kamiyan ho Zaid per mera mera pyaar tumhare liye kabhi jhootha nahin tha. Na hi kabhi ho ga.

Zaid couldn't help but tear up hearing her. He reached out and cautiously circled his arms around her petite frame pulling her into a tender embrace. His touch hesitant but tender. His heartbeat quickened it's pace.

Surprise flickered across Mubashira,s features as she felt him pulling her in his embrace. She trembled slightly but later eased when she felt his hands on her hair. Her heart seemed to let go of all the rhythms, beating loudly against her ribcage. For a moment, she was afraid that it might leap out of her chest. Her eyes were wide as she thought that it's all a dream but later she eased when she heard his heart beating loudly right below her ear.

As she felt the warmth of his body against hers, her vulnerabilities took over and her hands hesitantly found their way to his waist and the dam broke. The tears she kept contained made their way out of her eyes. He held her tighter as he heard her muffled sobs. His own tears fell unable to see her state. As they clung to each other, Mubashira cried to her heart,s constent till there were no tears left that she could shed. Her each tear, each sob cut though Zaid,s heart like a sharp knife as he realized the depths of her anguish.

I'm sorry MJ.

He pulled away, his voice quivering slightly as he wiped her tears away with a gentle touch.

I never realized the depths of your anguish. I never realized the depths of your pain. Maaf ker do mujhe.

Zaid apologized, his voice quivering with guilt.

Mubashira shook her head sideways as she spoke, her voice thick and hoarse because of continues crying.

Zaid mujhe tumhari mohabbat chahiye bheek nahin.

These words tugged at his heart and he cupped her face tighter, silently lifting her face so that their eyes could meet.

Nahin MJ yeh bheek nahin hai.

He spoke, his voice quivering with sincarity.

Kaise maan jaun main?

She asked, her voice quivering with fear. The fear of abandonment clouding her judgement.

Zaid smiled, his hand tracing the contours of her cheek tenderly and Mubashira couldn't help but close her eyes, a sigh of contentment escaping her lips.

I'll win your trust. I promise.

Zaid said softly. The determination clear in his eyes.
