30. Broken and Lost

Hi again! :D

And please don't kill me :'( ;)

~~~ASMAARA's POV~~~

I killed the engine almost a mile away from the Grewal House. Well not exactly a mile but, you know what I mean right?

I walked along the footpath, clutching on to my purse at this hour- so dark and cold out here. Yet, my hands were sweating. The more I moved towards the house, I realised with every step that this is not just a party but, A DAMN PARTY! So many cars and loud noises. I could hear music and cheering even from three houses away.

I took a deep breath as I set my foot inside the large iron gate. The watchman stood up to acknowledge me and I smiled at him. A shiver ran down my spine, as I stepped towards the house. Oh God! I am finally going to see him. Par baat kahan se shuru hogi? Naraz hoga na woh mujhse? Itne din pareshan kiya- zaroor naraz hoga.

I gulped the dry knot in my throat and stepped inside, only to be greeted by more loud cheers and claps. There was a huge crowd in front of me so, I tried squeezing past it. My eyes fell on Shehry and I took a deep breath again. Stay cool and jo bhi dil mein ho bas bol diyo Asmaara, I told myself.

My smile dropped when my eyes fell on Soha, who stood beside Shehry. An uncomfortable echo filled the air around me when I saw Shehry slipping a ring on her finger. For a moment it felt like I couldn't breath properly. My eyes stung as I wobbled backwards to find my way out. Suddenly the presence of so many people suffocated me.

Dragging myself back to the main gate, I leaned against it, trying to breath again. Baba's words spun in my head constantly and my head ached like never before. Suddenly I felt so empty inside.

"Asmaara Ma'am, are you ok? Shall I call someone?" The watchman asked and I shook my head. "No- I am fine."

I stumbled on the road and silently cried my way up to my car. I didn't deserve him anyway, a voice said inside my head, he did so much for me and I kept hurting him.

Usne kaha tha Ki iss baar intezar nahi karega and I lost him. Sab meri ghalati hai- it's all my fault. Bohot dayr kar di maine.

No it's not my fault! Baba was right about him, kal main toh aaj koi aur. Pal main feelings badal gayeen uski! Another voice echoed in my head.

Pagal ban gayi main uske haathon- shayad we were not meant to be!

My own thoughts made me feel dizzy. My chest ached- an undefined pain hugged me tightly as tears escaped from my eyes, uncontrollably. Breathing felt like a torture itself. I wanted to break something, I wanted to ease this uncomfortable feeling.

I leaned against my car's door and took deep breaths. Unzipping my purse, I reached for that mini jar; But, my fingers touched something else instead. I pulled it out and glared at it. The engagement invitation card, it was. Maybe baba was right?

"I don't know! I don't know anything!" I screamed, allowing fresh hot tears to trail down my cheek.

Sab khatam ho gaya! Sab kuch!

~~~HUSSAIN's POV~~~

I tapped my foot on the titled floor while we waited for someone to lead us to Asmaara's room. Adeel appeared from the far corner and took us with him. Shehry ran up to the door but, the nurse didn't let him go inside. He shook his head after many tries and moved away.

"She will be fine," I told him but, he looked like he didn't believe me.

"Who brought her here?" I asked Adeel and he turned to look at a Jess, who was half asleep on the bench.
