"Get ready, I'll come to pick you up,
I hope your been informed about the shopping" he said, I heard a shuffling sound from the other end,
"Yes, I'll get ready" with that I disconnected the call.

Keeping my phone aside,
Noor words rang on my mind,
"I don't know, what zayyan bhai saw in you" I shut my eyes,
Taking in a sharp breath,
"Why does he love me so much?
Do I deserve him?" I questioned,
Staring at the ceiling.

..............

I sat in the passenger seat as zayyan
was seated in the drivers seat,
Aameen, qasif, ishan and aunty,
Are coming in a different car.

Zayyan flashed me a smile,
And I gave him a gentle smile,
He step on the gas, making the car roar alive.
There was complete silence,
As none of us spoke.

I glanced at his attire, as he looked immaculate in that suit,
He graze at his beard,
Then he raked his hands through his hair,
I was just staring at him,
Taking In all his actions.

I can't deny the fact that,
indeed he is handsome,
My heart did a somersault,
When he reached for my hand, intertwining our fingers,
He then placed a kiss on the back of my hand.

And I felt a blush creeping up my neck,
And he smirked at me,
" Done with the staring" He questioned,
But it came out as a statement,
I shook my head highly embarrassed,
As he caught me staring at him.

"I wasn't staring at you" I lied,
Staring out the windshield,
"What ever makes you sleep at night" he said winking at me,
As his smirk widened.

Reaching the mall, I slid out,
Moving inside,
As I noticed, everyone waiting for us,
I hugged Aunty, and said my salaam to everyone,
"How are you doing Bhabhi?" Questioned qasif and I nodded my head,"how are you qasif?" I questioned back, flashing him a smile.

"Doing great Alhamdulillah" he replied, "hii" said ishan, and I smiled,
but I think there something that ishan is hiding,
I don't feel comfortable around him as i Feel with qasif,
I don't know why.

Aameen came towards me, grinning like a idiot, "Bhabhi you're so cute-" he paused as i blushed "just like a panda" he added immediately,
I shot Him a sharp glare, and he stifled a laugh
"Aameen, you're so handsome" I paused as he fixed his gaze on me, waiting for me to complete my sentence,
"Just like a dog" I said and he stared at me shocked.

"It's totally piffle to compare me with dogs, as you know I'm handsome" he said with narrowed eyes,
"Yaa-" I paused staring at his curious eyes " I feel bad to compare those poor dogs with you" I said, and chuckled at his expression,
His mouth hung low.

My eyes flickered at zayyan,
And what I saw next was enough for me to rip his head off,
Anger surged within my every vein, as I saw him talking to a girl,
"I can smell, something is burning" said Aameen, stifling a laugh,
"Bhabhi is that you?" Questioned qasif raising his brow.

Tears started forming in my eyes as I fight back,
No I am not jealous,
Why should I be?
I kept chanting this, but my heart wasn't ready to accept it.

"Who is she ?" I questioned Aameen,
As I saw her holding zayyan's hand,
I clenched my fist, my eyes blazing with fire,
"That's zaara, the girl who loves Bhai,"
Said Aameen, to which qasif nodded.

I jogged towards them,
My eyes turned towards zayyan, who was busy talking to her,
As they ignored my presence completely,
Making my way towards qasif and Aameen,
"I'll go" I said, my voice barely even a whisper,
Tears threatened to fall out from my eyes, and I wiped it off from the back of my sleeve.

I ran out from there,
As I could hear Aameen and qasif calling my name,
I turned my head, to see zayyan marching towards me,
Before he could to reach me,
I called a cab, and soon drove off,
He was still standing there, his hands on his knees.

............

I sat on the floor crying,
Why does this hurt me so much,
It shouldn't matter to me right?
Do I love him?

All men are same,
I shouldn't have trusted him,
I knew he will eventually get bored of
Me, that's why I was scared to fall for him.

Does zayyan also loves Zaara?
I guess he does, she's so beautiful unlike me,
Noor was right, why will zayyan love me.
I stood up, wiping my tears,
Staring at myself in the mirror.

I threw the pillows on the floor,
Anger and pain, surged within my every vein,
Not understanding what was I doing,
I threw the show pieces on the floor,
Making it shatter into pieces.

As the sound of shattering echoed in the room,
Tears continuously fell from my eyes,
As I perceived that I love him,
I love zayyan.

But for what? he doesn't love me back,
Words of Aameen and Noor continuously rang in my head,
Making me pull my hair out.

My phone was continuously buzzing,
And I ignored it,
My eyes Automatically turned towards the screen,
Seeing zayyan texts and calls.

I hold the phone in my hand,
Glancing at the screen,
There were twenty five calls from zayyan, four calls from Aameen,
I glanced at his texts.

*Madiya where you my love?*

*Where did you go?*

*Are you fine?*

*Pick up my call*

*Meri jaan, I just want to hear your voice*

There were so many,
I was about to throw my phone,
When I got a call from an unknown number,
I ignored it once, but it started buzzing again.

Recieveing it , i heard an unfamiliar voice,
"Ma'am zayyan sir-" and what I heard next was enough for to break me.
My step ceased, not even moving an inch.
I felt as if someone was continuously stabbing my heart,
And for the first time I felt the fear of losing someone.

I felt as if someone was continuously stabbing my heart,And for the first time I felt the fear of losing someone
