Koi tumse pyaar karega aur tum kisi aur se,
Ab kisi na kisi ka Dil toh tootega hi.
We crave for the love that is not in our fate.

"Where are you?"
"Mummy office mein aur kaha," massaging his temple, he replied.
(In office, where else?)
"And where is Zaim?" Nimra again asked
"In a meeting, why?"
"Remind him that he had to pick Hanaya from her college at 3:30pm,"
"But.... Now it's 5:00pm," Fasih looked at his wrist watch and said
"Wahi toh, woh kabse uska wait Kar rahi Hai aur usko call bhi ki, dekhona itni tezz barish ho rahi Hai, she can't come with rikshaw," Fasih only listen to half of the words, hanging up the call, he quickly got up and left his cabin,
(She is waiting for him outside of her college, it's raining..)
"When will the board meeting end?" He went to receptionist and asked
"Sir! It'll take maybe few hours more," he made thin line of his lips, stopping himself to say anything.
Quickly returning to his cabin, he picked his car keys and left to pick her up from her college,
Rain has stopped by now. But, the road was wet due to it, which didn't made any effect to his car speed, as only the thought of Hanaya was in his mind
Hanaya wrapped her arms around herself to save herself from shivering, the gate of her college has closed, to save herself from rain she stand under bus stop. But,she has already drenched, she took her phone out from her bag to call Zaim, but he didn't picked it up, just like the last numerous times
Fasih was about to take u-turn to her college when he cought a glimpse of Hanaya standing on bus stand
"Hanaya!" He stopped his car in front of her and rolled window down
Hanaya eyes winded as she saw who was in front of her, and her heart sank thinking Zaim didn't had time for her that's why he send Fasih to pick her up, with slow steps she went to his car
Fasih's right hand which was holding steering wheel clenched when he saw her, her baby pink chikankari kurti was completely drenched and hugging her like second skin, making her black bra visible, she has wrapped her dupatta around her like shawl but it was also made up of thin material which didn't helped much,
She sat in, his navy blue blazer which was placed on backseat,he picked it and silently pass to her
Which she took with small thank you. Wearing it, she hugged herself
<><><>
"Haan! Milne ka plan banao," taking a sip of her coffee, Hayfa said on phone. When she heard the sound of honk, she was already on balcony and saw Fasih's car entering the house from black gate
(Yes! Made aplan to meet,)
A smile made its way on her face as she quickly exit balcony and went downstairs to greet him.
Her feet which were taking long steps stop at halt when she saw Hanaya entering house, wearing Fasih's blazer.
Bowing her head down, Hanaya walked past Hayfa, she didn't saw her or intentionally ignore her presence? Hayfa couldn't understand
Throwing digger to Hanaya's direction, she went outside to talk to Fasih. But, he already drove off in his car.
"Zaim! I want to talk to you," When Zaim came home and was heading upstairs, Nimra called him from behind
"Yes mummy!" Taking his step back he went to her
"Tumse is laparwahi ki umeed nahi thi mujhe."
(I didn't expected this much carelessness from you,)
"Kya hua mummy?" His brows furrowed by her sudden anger
(What's wrong?)
"Kya hua? Hanaya Kon hain?" Her question made him more confused
(What's wrong? Who is Hanaya?)
"Bolo Hanaya Kya lagti Hai tumhari?"
(Tell me what's Hanaya to you?)
"Um.... Wife?" Referring her as wife felt weird while his heart did a flip
"Wife? Aur uska Matlab Kya hota Hai?.... Tumhari zimmedari Hai woh. aur tumne Kya kiya? Kitni derr Tak woh tumhara intezaar Kar rahi thi apne college ke bahar, barish mein bhi bheeg gayi aur tumhe yaad bhi nahi," when he didn't said anything, she burst at him
(Wife? And what does that mean?.... She is your responsibility, and what you did? She was waiting for you for hours outside of her college, and too in rain,)
"Mummy woh.... I'm really sorry, ek important meeting thi,... I seriously forgot,"
(Mummy actually....... There was an important meeting in office,)
"Sorry mujhe nahi Hanaya ko bolo, aur dubara aisi koi harkat nahi hona chahiye, woh tumhara kabse intezaar Kar rahi thi," her words made him ashamed, he has never been this careless. But the meeting was so important that he forgot
(Hanaya deserve your sorry, not me,. And never repeat it,)
Was it more important then your wife safety? His heart nagged, which he quite
Nodding his head he left for his room.
Entering the room, he found Hanaya on study table while her head was bowed down in her notebook, she was doing her assignment maybe,
He fake cleared his throat to grab her attention
"ASSALAMUALAIKUM!"
"Walekum-Assalam!" His dominant voice made her startled as she drop her pen, meekly greeting him back, she picked her pen from floor and fixed her specs again on her eyes which fall on her nose when she bent down
Her nose was red and her eyes were also glister which made Zaim guilty, as he thought she was waiting for him for so long in the rain
"Agar main nahi aya Tha toh auto Kar leti," sitting on the bed, he started taking his shoes off
(Why did you book a cab?)
"Apke phone pe call Kiya Tha ek baar confirm karne ke liye...... Agar mere auto karne ke baad aap ajate toh?....." Looking at her notebook she replied
(You didn't called so I thought you must be coming,.....)
"I'm sorry! Important meeting thi, I completely forgot," he sincerely apologise
(There was an important meeting,)
"It's okay!" She softly said, Al though she was upset at him thinking he didn't wanted to come and send Fasih to pick her up, but when she came to know from Nimra that he actually forgot and Nimra send faish to pick her it incensed her.
But she couldn't complained to him, how can she? When he has made it clear that he doesn't believe in this relationship, then with what right she'll complain to him?
Zaim didn't said anything more, he went to washroom to fresh up. After taking a shower when he put his hand forward for the towel from hanger, he found something else there,
A navy blue blazer.
It was Fasih's, he know that. After all he is the one who picked Fasih's formal dress, because Fasih himself is very careless.
But what his blazer is doing here?
"Fasih aya Tha?" After getting dressed up when he again entered his room, hanaya was still sitting where she was before.
(Did Fasih came?)
"Um....no!" Her brows furrowed, as she turned to him, she almost gasp at him, his wet hair was mess, while he was wearing a black shalwar kameez
She avert her eyes away from him
"His blazer is in bathroom,"
"Woh.... Woh unhone mujhe Diya Tha kyuki main barish mein bheeg gayi thi aur......" Her voice came loud when she realized what he is talking about but then she said in normal voice, dropping her sentence in middle she again turned to her table
(Actually..... He gave me in car because my clothes was drenched from rain and.....)
"Fasih ne tumhe pick Kiya Tha?" He don't know why, but he was suddenly feeling a burning sensation inside of him
(Fasih picked you up from college?)
She nod her head, his eyes were on her all time and she could feel it on her back.
He took a deep breath from his nose while looking anywhere else,
"Tum apni car khud drive karke kyu nahi jati college? Tumhe kisi pe depend nahi hona hoga,"
(Why don't you drive yourself to your college? You won't be depend on anyone,)
"I don't know how to drive,"
<><><>
Next morning Zaim was waiting for her outside of house, wearing wrist watch she was hurriedly coming to him
"I'm sorry!... Woh tayi Ammi,..." Catching her breath she tried to explain him.
(Tayi ammi was...)
"It's okay, Chalo," he said as he opened the driver seat door,
(Let's go,)
Hanaya confusingly raised her eyebrow at him when he didn't get in. All he did was to point her to sit there
"I..... I don't know how to drive,"
"I know, I'm gonna teach you how, sit in."
"Actually...." She opened her mouth to say something
"Hmm?" But when he amusingly raised his eyebrows at her, she close her mouth and shook her head negatively
