" Yes!! Cause you have cancer!!"
He said with teary eyes while Miral birst into laughter.

"What?? Zarar have you lost your ming this early??"
She said between laughter.

"I am not joking. Did you see your reports?"

"Yeah!! A number of times!!"

"Didn't you get afraid?"

" No!! When everything is normal then why would I be afraid?"

"But your reports..."

"Oh that!! Then listen..."

Miral narrated whole story of how her reports got swapped with other Miral.

" So it means that you are all okay? You don't have any cancer?"
Zarar raised brow.

"Yep!!"
Miral emphasized on 'p'.

"Aren't you Happy?"
Miral wriggled brows at him who was in deep thoughts.

" No.. "

"Nooo?????"
Miral shouted on her lungs bursting his ear drums.

"Oh ho let me complete woman!! I was saying no it's not like that and besides why would you get cancer when you yourself is a walking talking cancer."
Zarar rolled his eyes.

"Zarar Ahmed Khan today I am gonna kill you cause you are speaking way too much."
Miral dtstyrd running behind him with straightener in her hands.

"O come on Miral!! I have work!!"
He said roughly and went out without even touching breakfast.

"What had happened to him now?"
Miral shrugged.

_________

It was 9 in evening when Miral dialled Zarar's number.

"Assalam o alikum !!"
She chirped.

"Miral I am busy!!"
With this he disconnected the call without even giving her chance to say anything.

She looked at her phone in dismay.
Unknowingly it hurt her.

"Huh!!"
She's good up making faces and went to pray Esha prayer.

After praying she decided to wait for Zarar in garden.

She didn't know why but today her heart was restless than usual. She was having feelings as if something gonna hurt her but she could not figure it out.

"May be that's because of my dream.."
She sighed and sat on bench looking at sky when unknowingly sleep embrace her.

Hours passed while she was in deep slumber.

A piercing sound of horn striker to her ear drums and she sat up with a jolt.

"Zarar..."
A whisper left her mouth and she ran towards porch.

" You came? Assalam o alikum!!"
Miral smiled wholeheartedly.

Instead of replying her he nodded and went straight in his room Miral stood their flabbergasted.

__________

"Zarar I have served food. Come!!"
Miral said coming in room.

"I already had!!"
He said and went on washroom.

Miral stood there stunned.

"I was waiting for you."
Miral said as soon as Zarar came out in his night suit.

"I didn't ask you."
He said in dry tone.

"I didn't eat!"

" Why?"

"Was waiting for you!!"

"Well I had my dinner already. "
He said and laid down on bed.

Miral covered food and laid too switching lights off.

She put her arm around his torso and he yanked it away surprising her.

"What.. "

"I want to sleep. Don't disturb me!"
He interuppted her and closed his eyes.

After that Miral dodnt move and laid there like a statue.

She was puzzled beyond limits. First her dream then her restlessness and now this.

Tears started pooling up in her eyes thinking about all this.

_____________

Miral opened her eyes gradually when sun rays caressed her face.

She smiled and sat up stretching her arms.

Her eyes widened when they landed on empty bed beside her.

"Where did he go this early?"
She murmured looking at wall Clock which was signalling 7 in morning.

She sighed and went towards washroom.

After changing and taking a soothing shower she ran downstairs.

"Zahra khala do you know where is Zarar??"
Miral asked the maid making breakfast in kitchen.

" He already left for office."

"What?"

" Yes!!"

Miral hummed and went towards garden.

__________

3 days passed with blur but still Miral couldn't figure out why Zarar was ignoring and misbehaving with her.

"I already told you Miral that I am not interested. Stop bothering me!!"
Zarar roared when Miral asked him once again to taste rice pudding she made.

It was enough for her to jump off the cliff!!

" What had happened to you? Why 're you shouting? I am being nice here and you are continuously wailing."
She shouted back.

"Oh shut up and get out of room."
He turned his head sideways.

Miral stood there glued to floor. Just then something crawled up to her mind making her face go pale.

"Is it... is it because of my reports??"
Miral stuttered.

Zarar remained silent and keep on typing on his phone.

"Answer me Zarar!!"
She turned him towards her.

" Yes!! I cared for you just because I'd thought that you were sick and was about to die."
He said sternly.

"Wasn't it love??"
She asked in a low whisper.

"Love?? No Miral!! It was only sympathy!!"
He pulled his hand back which she was holding and went out.

Miral slided down on floor in shock.

"How idiot I was to think of that word which is not even written in my fate?"
She buried her face in knees.

Once again all Her Dreams shattered in front of her eyes.
