Chapter-6
Arman's Pov:(new character)
Yr Ammi ap meri shaadi key pechey kyu parhi huee hain? I ask her angrily while she continued to show me the pictures of random girls
Beta kab tak yuhi bethey rahogey, mere umer ka kiya bharosa kab Allah bula ley, she says softly patting my head.
Oh ho Ammi aise baatain toh mat kerain, fine I will come with you to see the girl, I whisper softly while pecking her cheek.
Thankyou Arman, she smiles warmly.
********
Ahmed cancel today's meetings I wont be able to come today as I have to go somewhere I say while picking my files and keeping them in the locker.
Okay Sir, he says and leaves my room.
Grabbing my car keys I ignite the engine and go back to my home to get ready.
Anum's Pov:
Bright sunlight penerated through my windows and lit up my room. I stretched lazily on my bed and my room door opened revealing khala with a tray of breakfast and juice.
AssalamOAilekum, I smile and hugg her
WalikumAssalam, she patts my head.
How are you feeling now? She asks
I am fine, I give her a warm smile.
Anum mujhey tumsey kuch baat kerni hai? Khala says holding my hand in hers
Jee bolye, I smile
A proposal has come for you and the family wants to meet you today, she says
What? Proposal? A sudden wave of shiver runs down my spine and his face flashed in my mind.
Please meet them for once I wont force you but please beta sirf aik dafa, she literally pleads.
Okay dont worry, I smile fakely.
She walks out of my room leaving me there in a major tension.
Hussain tumney yeh kiya kerdiya. Ajj tumhari jagah koi aur anjaan shaks mujhey dekhey ga.
Mujhey kabhi nahi pta thaa yeh sub bhi meri zindagi mai hoga. Khuda janey yeh kaise azamaish hai mere.
I wipe my tears which ran down my eyes unknowingly. I roll down my bed and go towards the wardrobe to find something good to wear.
Suddenly my eyes caught a white kameez with some flowers embroidered on it,
Jab koi special occasion hona toh tum yeh suit pehna! His words rang in my ears and I ran my fingers on the dress.
Taking a short shower, I dress up and comb my long straight hair.
Hussain tumhari bhut yaad ati hai.
Tum kyu nahi ajatey.
***********
They are here get ready and come down, khala says patting my head softly.
Applying some light lipgloss, and eyeliner to cover up my swollen eyes I was ready.
With my heavy heart I took baby steps outside my room fidling with my fingers.
Bauhat pyaari lag rahi ho, hussain says from behind. I turn around to find no one.
Smile pagal, again he whispers in my ear.
Kyu tum her jagah dekhtey ho mujhey.
I walk towards the people sitting there.
AssalamOAilekum, I greet everyone and smile.
Come here sit with me a lady aged in her 40'z gestured me to come and I sat down uncomortably feeling everyone's gaze on me.
MashAllah shez really beautiful Aunty says running her hand through my hairs.
And this is my son Arman, she points towards her son. Hi, he waves with a smile
Hi, I whisper back trying to smile.
Honestly he was handsome and looked a good person with the way he was talking with khala with so much respect and love but still no one can take my hussain's place.
Anum bring them something to eat, khala says bringing me out of my thoughts.
Jii, I reply and stand up giving a small smile to him and he looks at me.
I was busy making tea and snacks when I felt footsteps behind me. I turned around to check when the hot oil was about to spill on me he pulled me towards him and I collided with his hard chest. Arman!
Be careful Anum you could have hurt yourself, he whispers moving back.
Uh..eh...thanks, I stammer.
*********************
I lied down on my bed and kept moving.
I dont know what to do, life has been so cruel to me. Jisko apni jaan sey chaha wo toh bey-sahara chor key chala gya. Kiya wo itna bewafa thaa usey koi parwah nahi mere mohabbat ki?
Tears rolled down my cheeks as his innocent face flashed in my mind.
*flashback*
I had come for shopping with my friend soha.
Quickly collecting all of the bags I walked out of the shop when someone bumped into me throwing my things all around. My mobile fell down and it's screen broke scartches on it.
I look up at the person who caused me this damage. Sorry, he says busy with his mobile.
I pull his mobile from his hands and he looked at me stunned.
Aik toh mera itna nuqsaan kerdiya aur bajaye madad kero mobile mai busy ho? I yell at him
Oh sorry I will pick it for you. Bending down he picked all the things and gave me.
Aur mera mobile ka kiya? I ask
Mera ley lo? He says innocently
What? I whisper
Jii aap mera apney paas rakh lain Miss, he smiles
I am sorry, he says scratching the back of his neck.
Agle dafa dekh kr chalna smjh aye? I shout
Ap bhi dekh kr chalye ga, agr mainey nahi dekha toh aap dekh lete na, he smirks this time.
Chichora, I whisper
Kiya? He winks
Kuch nahi, I say walking away when he held my wrist and pulls me towards him.
I heard that, he smirks and I could feel my cheeks getting all red.
*ends*
That was the first time when we met. I smiled with tears thinking about the moment.
And thats when we fell in love and I still love him. Pr pta nahi usey mai yaad hoon bhi ya nahi?
Hussain's Pov:
My head was paining like hell and I coudnt remember anything. Everyone says my name is hussain and this is my family then why the hell I cant remember! They say I was going to get married with Anum but who is she?
Shehry says I loved her more then anyone but I dont remember falling in love.
Sub kehtey hain mainey us larki ki zindagi barbaad ki! Uska dil tor diya? Kiya mai itna bura hoon? Agr wo mere mohabbat hai toh phir kyu kuch yaad nahi ata. Uska chehra pehchana sa lagta hai pr smjh nhi ati kon hai wo.
Ammi kehte hain wo larki abhi bhi tumhara intezaar ker rahi hai, wo roz tumharey liye bhut roya kerti hai. Yeh sub kiya horaha hai?
I dont understand anything.
Anum's Pov:
Cleaning up with the mess and dishes I switched off the lights and sat on the sofa. Khala had gone to sleep already. I sat there thinking about today, so much has happened in just a few days. He left and someone else came time passes so fast.
There is just one question which keeps rising in my mind why did he do this?
Jab wo mujsey mohabbat kerta thaa toh aise konsi wajah jiski waja sey usney mujhey meray nikkah key din inkaar kerdiya. I felt like screaming, crying out loud at my bad fate. Ab toh zinda rehney ka dil bhi nahi kerta.
I Loved you hussain and still love you. You meant the world to me, you were my everything. The cure to my wounded heart, the light to my darkness, the happiness to my tears and my soulmate. With you everything seemed beautiful and without you everything feels ugly. The world seems empty and quiet. Log sahi kehtey hain ishq mai bahuat dard hota hai.
Leqin mujhey apney khuda pr yaqeen hai aur wo mera yaqeen tootney nahi dey ga. Agr tum mujsey nafrat bhi kerney lagey hona toh yaqeen jano mere duaoon sey wo bhi badal jaye gee.
As I stood up my mobile started ringing and I quickly recieved the call.
Hey? He says from the other side of the phone
Hi, ap kon? I ask
Armaan hoon, he whispers
Oh! Was just I could say
Kesi ho tum? He asks
I am fine, I reply back softly
Can we meet if you dont mind? He asks
Um....pta nahi mera mood nahi hai, I am going to sleep. Allah Hafiz, I cut the call and stand up.
Nahi baat kerni mujhey kisee gayr shaks sey. Hussain key ilawa mera kisee sey koi taluq nahi aur na hee kabhi hoga. Uskey ilawa mai kabhi kisee sey nikkah nahi keroon gee chahey kuch bhi hojaey aur mai uski bewafaye ka maqsad jaan key rahoon gee. Agr mohabbat ki hai toh usey nibhaoon gee zindagi bhar akeley hee sahi.
Everyone says I should try to forget hussain but how can I? No one would understand my pain because they dont love him like I do.
Falling into love is a beautiful feeling but getting betrayed by the same person breaks you.
Jab koi shaks apko itney khuwab dekhaye toh ap usey umeedey lgaey bethey hotey ho aur jab wo tootney lage toh even you break.
That was my condition now, every passing day I was getting shattered.
AssalamOAilekum!
How are you all?
What do you think about the story so far?
What's the big mystery behind everything?
Anum is trying to be strong but till when she will hold herself?
Honestly evn I had a bad experience about love so I think we shoudnt start trusting anyone when they say they love you. They could be lying or playing with your feelings. Girls usually get trapped when boys talk so sweetly with them and they think they have found their love while boys use them as a mask for their desire. But no one is same some boys are actually good too who respect girls so actually we dont know how to judge someone. I m just trying to say keep yourself save from these sort of matters.:)))
Till then Take care!
Lots of Love
