We Were Meant To Be.~ COMPLETED

Chapter Seventeen.

Zayd's P.O.V.

I think she is doing all this purposely.

"Anya!" But she just passed through me.
Why is she ignoring me?

What did I do now?
Allah!please give some brains to this girl.

It's Aisha and Arjun Sangeet ceremony.
The guest are yet to arrive.
All the family members were just doing some preparation here and there, the last minute touch up.

She was arranging the flowers for the decoration when I pulled her behind a pillar and backed her to the wall.
"What's wrong with you?" She asked angrily.
I released her hand and said," me? What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you Anya? Why are you ignoring me?" I asked.

She looked at me with her eye-brows furrowed and asked," ignoring? Why do you say so?"
"Where were you yesterday?" I asked.

She had been ignoring me for the past two nights.
I don't know how many pebbles I threw, she never opened.
But yesterday, her window was left open so I climbed to find the room empty.

"Yesterday? Have you become the Aamir khan of film Ghajini or what? I was with you the whole day at Arjun's place."

"Whole day yeah? What about at night? "I asked now eager to know.
She bit her lips and said," Why do you wanna know?"

Because I care.

"Because...you were at Arjun's yesterday?"
She nodded.
And a pain pierced through my heart.
"To follow the tradition? Because it was Sunday yesterday...yeah?" I asked with pain in my voice.
She nodded again and looked at my left she then whispered, "your mum is coming our way."

I stood away from her and looked at my mum who had now almost reached us.
She smiled at me but her smile faded when she saw Anya with me.
My mum then stood before me and Anya left.

"Ammi, why can't you treat her like you treat others?" I complained.
"Listen, don't tell me what I should do.
I came to tell you that Mariam was looking for you."
Without speaking anything I left to look for Mariam.

Now what does she need?

I saw her standing beside the food table.
I went towards her and saw a boy standing beside her, hugging her.
She smiled at him.
He said something and she laughed.
A genuine laugh.

I felt a stab in my heart.
Someone turned me around and i saw it was Mariam.
She looked at me and asked," you are crying?"

"Crying? No! It's just that something might have entered my eyes," i wiped those fallen tears and said," Why were you looking for me?"

"Its Anya right?" She asked.
I looked to my side, seeing Anya with some other boy hurts.
I denied and said," Nop..why do you think so?"

Mariam smiled and said," well if you can agree, for me to be your dancing partner to make Anya jealous then she too can apply the same technique, yeah?"

Allah! I didn't think of that!
I smiled at Mariam and pulled at her cheeks," thanks Api. (Sis)"
Anya didn't know but Mariam is three years elder than me and already engaged.
I made her my dancing partner to make Anya feel jealous.
I don't know why but I wanted her to be jealous.

Although she didn't show any jealousy infact she was all happy.
But i was for sure jealous seeing her with my cousin Aziz.
I wouldn't want Aziz to be anywhere near Anya, he is the heart-breaker.

I went towards Anya and Aziz.
"Aziz! So I can see, you enjoying the party." As Anya's back was facing me...i hugged her from behind locking my hands on her waist and putting my face on her right shoulder.
Aziz held a shocked expression and asked," you guys are a thing?"
"Yes," i said.
"No," said Anya in unison.

I turned her around and looked at Anya asking,"Coeur what did I do wrong?"
She held my hand and took me somewhere far from Aziz so he couldn't hear a thing she says.

"Zayd...i realised that there is no use making Arjun jealous. He already has his love plus he is getting married,i don't want to hurt Aisha."

"It means you are breaking up with me?" I asked.
And it was the worst moment of my life when she nodded as an answer to my question.
