❤ Shezaad❤
I slammed the brake madly making the tyres screech..
closing the door shut I walked in.. Ilthumish followed..
The whole 15 minutes ride was in pin drop silence.. me trying hard to keep my anger in control while Ilthumish fumbled with his hands not bothering to start conversation..
"He called her a wh***.. you dammit a wh***.."
Her shaky voice made my blood boil.. it was damn obvious . She was terrified.. still she kept up her voice..
I dont know why her shaky voice and anger had a profuse effect on me.. but it did..it kinda made me muddle up with anger and confusion on seeing her tensed.. no this is not the cinematic crap.. trust me dramatics is not my kinda thing..
I never had gawked at a girl before.. I know its haram and I didnot bother.. Ilthumish, my family and my business and memories of my chukki were more than enough.. I never had any second thoughts on that.. but today she made it way harder for me to resist staring at her..
That fire in the eyes and her words shouting anger.. her temper.. those seems so much familiar..
It seems to be there lingering on my mind.. still I am unable to grasp on.. the frustration driving me to the edge..
There was this something.. a bond or a chord maybe.. binding myself to her petite yet fierce demeanour..
I had a hard time controlling myself..
I shook my head.. noo this is absurd.. ya rab please forgive me for doing so..
And the other girl.. she was completely famished.. well she should be..
And she looked way innocent and fragile.. she never desrved to be called that..
Actually.. it was a terrible mistake and anyone of the right mind would know.. she would never have intended to hurl herself at the car..
Yet he called he a wh**** ... I clenched my teeth to control the anger taking a toll on me..
"Shezaaad"...
I turned around and slapped him hard really hard on his left cheek making him stumble onto the couch..
"What was that man.. what the hell was that" I roared..
The neutral expression on his face made me exasperated..
I fisted his collar "who the hell gave you the freaking rights to insult women just like that?
Manh.. is this the way you are brought up..
And by your hooliganistic behaviour you are making people question your own bringing up and for fudge's sake I wont tolerate that because we are brought up by the same lady who is the representative of purity"
"Answer me you idiot.."
"They are all the same shezaad.. worthless gold diggers waiting to make someone like us their ATM machines.." he chuckled wryly
"Idiot you and your damn policies.. who fed u that crap?" I asked in a hopeless tone..
"She did it shezaad.. his voice cracked.. his tragic past washing over his eyes.. unused tears making way.. " gulping to steady his voice..
"the woman whom I thought loved me did that.."
he wailed..tears he has been holding up behind his hard exterior all these while..broke out cascading down his cheeks..
"Mish.." I sighed.. guilt washing over me.. I should have known where this is heading.. I was so blinded by my anger that I forget to look from his perspective.. i really am a terrible friend..
"Ilthumish listen Just because she was that way doesnt mean everyone is like her.. think of our mom who was and still is our pillar of support.. manh her prayers are what keeping us alive to date" I reminded him..
"Dont compare mom to her" he growled shoulders stiffening..
"Chill bruh.. what I meant was she is a woman too.. and besides did that girl look like such to you manh Im not asking you to gawk at her.. but her aura and her words.. did she seem like someone who would do such things. Just ask your ownself did she deserved to be called that?"
"Noo she did not.. noo she did not" he screamed..
"Why am I so blinded by my hate shezaad that I hurt everyone?"
"Ilthumish.. just because of what a single woman did.. you cant go on hating the entire woman population.. just because a single woman changed your perspective on them doesnt mean you see each and every one of them in the same way.."
"Yes we are all humans.. we have both a devil and angel lurking in us.. but what matters the most is on which phase our tenacious grip lies upon, which side we choose to act. Our manners and our behaviour is what defines us not what the society has inflicted upon us"
He nodded meekly heaving a long sigh which hid many deep feelings..
He is Ilthumish-the dream boy whom girls go gaga..
The fun-loving, cheerful play boy demeanour he put up to the out side world is merely a facade..
He is broken beyond repair deep within..
"Bro do you think I did something very bad" he asked with guilt sunken eyes..
"Dont you think so?" I asked putting my hands over his shoulder
" yeah I do.. and I feel horrible..she was nearly shaken and crying her eyes out after that near-death experience.. still she tried hard to make up for the incident.. accepting it was her fault though it is exactly my own fault
..I shouldnt have droven so fast in the car park knowing people would be there.. even after all that I blamed her.. I called her.."his voice started cracking again..
"I called her a wh****.. Astaghfirullah.. manh how did I become so oblivious to others feelings.. since when did i become so rude and heartless" his sighed in a voice full of remorse and venom towards his ownself..
This is the absurd nature of human.. even though it is the bitch karma which makes our life our living hell and mould us in to such bitter personalities driven into oblivion.. still we blame our ownself for being who we are instead of what we were"
"Gilaaaad you understood bruh.." I prolonged loosening my tie..
"Shezaad do you think I have to apologize? He questioned in a small voice directing his gaze towards the floor not looking at my face..
Manh this really is something.. he is letting go of his ego? Never expected that.
It is very obvious that he is feeling so guilty over his actions .
"the answer lies in your very own question bro" I chuckled..
"Yes he nodded in a firm tone.. I have to..
" coool manh.. just do it.. and dont forget to thank almighty allah for knocking sense into your walnut and seek forgiveness" i said givng him a bro hug
"Yep I will.."
" But i have to make sure her crazy bestfriend is nowhere near her.. she wouldnt hesitate kick my ass if she thinks Im gonna hurt her bestie again" he murmured rolling his eyes caressing both his cheeks with a funny expression
I looked at him and burst into uncontrollable laughter looking at his fear-struck face.. the slap sure has some deep effect on him..
Haaaha very funny.. laugh as much as you want..Manh her slap it really did hurt.. still It was me who got slapped not once but twice.. " he whined making me chuckle
" who the hell gave you the righy to slap me bummer" he questioned punching me in my guts..
" since the day I accepted you as my bestfriend it became my inborn right to hurt you in anyways possible" I winked..
"Yaah manh whatever.. he said walking into the wash room..
I sat back.. my mind whirling over the words.. the anguish the tears..of itthu..
His very own mum left him when he was merely 10 the tender age in which he need her the most just because his father was not providing enough..
It still bewilders me how life is not always fair.. the people who are meant to make you sometimes ends up breaking you and people whom we assume would be our death.. end up making us a way better persona..
After sometimes my dad adopted him..still he grew up with a tremendous amount of hate towards women except for my mum. And now towards the girls we've just met hours before.. Its not a everyday occurence Ilthumish agreeing girls are right..
Still.. her slap.." i giggled.. she was a lioness alright..
She was so furious and that did knock some sense into him.. it did have some effect on him..
not only on him me as well
Yep the slap had a profuse effect on me..
"It actually reminded me of someone.."
"Someone who came as a rainbow after the storm"..
Helllooo folks..
No one started hating Itthu yet right.. he has his reasons.. *sigh*
And guess what he is gonna apologize to nush.. yeah only when Ahaana is not nearby..
Ilthumish scared of Ahaaana.. lmao..
Itthu scared of his chukki.. the lil girl who was his lil sis long ago..
What do u all think..
And shezaad.. dont you all think he handled the situation very well..
Reality is far more different than the facade people put up.. all of us and crumbling beneath because of one thing or other.. wouldnt it be better if we didnt hurt or judge other even though we are unable to help em.. yaaah? What say?
So about the chap?
Dont forget to comment and vote on them..
And please excuse my grammatical and language errors.. Im still a student *pouts*
So until next time..
Allah hafiz lovelies😘😘
