You return like autumn, and i fall everytime
-faraway.

Ayesha's Pov.

Days passed by in a blur and it was already Sunday. Ahira had been super busy with her in-laws and thus thankfully she hadn't called me till now. Of course she called me the next day after the lunch day to tell that her and Azlaan had a talk and they are good now! I just love their couple, typical shy couple they are.

And talking about me, I haven't encountered Ahaan since then, neither intentionally nor accidentally and I can't be more thankful to Allah for that. I don't want to meet that heartless jerk ever.

If someone would have told me that there would be a time when I would call Ahaan heartless jerk, I would have laughed so hard and now I am talking about him by using jerk more than his name.

It's been so long that I had spent some time with myself, so I decided to go on a date with myself today.

Yeah! I do this every month but since two months I have been super busy with life and work that I didn't had any self time.

So yeah, today I will go out for lunch, do some shopping and then spend some time out probably on the marine drive and return back home.

Hurrying my lazy self up, I took a long relaxing shower to calm my tensed muscles and got ready real quick.

Choosing a black jeans and blood red shirt, I got changed into them and tucked the front part of my shirt in.

I let my waist length hair be open, curled it on the end and applied some light makeup which included some foundation with my all time favorite eyeliner and applied some red lipstick to go with the shirt.

It was already 12 when I got up from my beauty sleep, so I skipped my breakfast because of which I will surely get to hear a good scolding from mom which I guess was okay.

"Hey Mom!" I greeted my fuming mother to which she replied by glaring at me.

"Oops! Sorry" I said holding my ears and giving her a puppy dog face.

"Is this how you are going to be in your in-laws?" She glared at me again.

"Exactly! Very bad Ayesha" Buts in Sufyaan bhai, my annoying brother.

"Shut up" I started rolling my eyes when I saw him grinning at me, still in his night dress.

"What exactly? You finally got the time to wake up huh?" She glared at him , making me bite back a smirk.

"I work hard mom" He said, wiping his imaginary tears which made me roll my eyes at him again.

"She is surely going to lose her eyes in a fair, if she rolls them this often" He chided and stole a muffin that mom has been making.

"Mom, I am going out! Want some time for myself" I said looking at her hopeful eyes.

"No way you are going out today" She snapped.

"Ah! Let her go mom!" Bhai took my side!

I really love him for this but I still hate him.

"No!"

"I'll be back soon" I pleaded.

"No"

"Mama please"

"Arey let her go na. Waise bhi kaha jaati hai." Sufyaan bhai tried to convince mom.

"Thik hai but make sure you come home soon" She warned me and I smiled at her while assuring that I would be back soon.

Then she asked bhai to drop me to the place I wanted to go and he agreed but only after showing some tantrums.

We made it to my favorite restaurant, all the while bickering and fighting with each other on all the lame topics of the world.

Once he dropped me, I went inside the restaurant after bidding him bye. Soon the waiter arrived and I ordered myself chicken soup and some chinese as I was craving chinese today. Actually I crave chinese 24/7.

To be honest I love to be in my own company. Of course I have friends and family to be with but I think it's necessary for a person to spend time with oneself at least once a month. It would give you time to think about your past and plan for your future. It will help you understand yourself a little better.

Once I finished my lunch, I headed towards the mall. Yeah, like any other girl, I love to shop but shopping with someone to accompany is really boring.

I shopped some lipstick of different shades and other makeup items. And also bought myself a pair of sneakers and black heels which I loved.

Then I entered a boutique and tried some awesome dresses, clicked pictures in the trial room and bought myself this black floor length gown. It was a good fit and hugged my body perfectly and was a little bit flowy on the bottom with intricate silver patterns on the bust and designer sleeves which were of cold shoulder type. Overall I really loved the dress.

I also bought some formals and casuals to wear for work as I heard that there is this project coming where our company is merging with some other company and that some of the employees were going to get transferred to the other company for God knows why. And I should definitely look good and professional if I am also one of those employees.

It was 5 in the evening when I had finished my shopping and all, so I headed to the food court to have some ice cream but then decided to go to the washroom first. Keeping the bags on the counter outside the washroom area, I entered inside and freshened up a little bit, doing my business. Just as I turned to go out of the cubicle, I bumped into a girl who dropped some of her powder all over my jeans by mistake.

"I am so sorry, I am so sorry! Please forgive me" She kept ranting but I stopped her saying that its ok and cleaned the powder with my handkerchief.

Cleaning the spots from my jeans, I exited the washroom. Not realising where I was going, I again bumped into something which I thought was a wall.

Ya Allah why am I bumping into everything today !!!

"Ugg" I heard the wall groan.

Wait, when did walls started groaning ???

Realisation hit me that I bumped into a person and not a wall and that person had kept his hand on my waist to steady me from falling down.

That's when I heard a familiar voice curse under his breath. And that person or wall as I thought so in the beginning was none other than Ahaan !!!

"You!!"

"You!!"

We both shouted glaring at each other. He removed his hand from my waist immediately and boy I would be lying if I'll say that I didn't felt empty at that moment.

What the hell am saying?

'Get a grip over yourself, Ayesha' I shouted at my self, well in my mind obviously.

"What the hell are you doing here?" He snapped.

"Kyun? Tumhara mall hai?" I glared back.

"God! Pata nahi kis ke muh laga tha subah subah" He murmured.

"Exactly! See, even I am thinking the same" I smiled a sarcastic smile to which he rolled his eyes.

"Can't you see up while walking?" He said rudely.

"Weren't you seeing?" I asked, folding my hands to my chest.

He groaned and narrowed his eyes.

"Woah! What's going on?"

I turned to see Rinoz standing behind me, amusement dancing in her eyes looking at us.

"Hey, Ayesha di!" She engulfed me in a bone crushing hug.

I hugged her back. She smiled looking at me and Ahaan while eyeing us.

"Why were you both fighting like husband and wife?" She laughed.

"We are not married"

"We are not married"

We both shouted simultaneously.

"I know, I was kidding" She laughed.

"I would never marry someone like her" He said, eyeing me from head to toe. His words filled with venom and disgust.

"Come" He held Rinoz's hand and dragged her despite her protest while I stood there with tears welled up in my eyes.

Their intertwined hands did something bad inside me. I wasn't weak to cry over such a petty thing. I don't give a damn about what Ahaan said then why was I crying. Why does it matter?

"Heartless jerk!"

I grabbed my bags from the counter and walked out of the mall. I straight away went to the nearby park and sat on the bench in a far corner.

Everyone wad happy and so was I. I was living in my own built world, enjoying my own self, dreaming my future in the most beautiful way with the most loving partner but life gave me a total shock.

I don't know why I was even crying but I was.

"I would never marry someone like her"

"I would never marry someone like her"

"I would never marry someone like her"

His words and their intertwined hands kept rotating in my mind causing me a headache.

No longer able to take this unknown pain and this weird jealousy, I walked all the way back home not caring about how my legs will pain because of this continuous walking.

I directly went to my room without sparing a glance at my family. I know they will ask me later what happened and I will give them an excuse.
I got into the washroom throwing all the stuff on my bed and took a long shower and it really helped me calm myself.

Once I was sure that I was ok, I went out and dressed up in my nightwear and started my office work not wanting to go down and face my family.

Ahaan's Pov.

Today was Sunday and after completing all the work load, I decided to take a brake today. I wanted to spend some time with Rinoz and take Ayesha out of my mind. That girl has taken over my mind. It's as if she is the only problem in my life that I am thinking a way out of.

Shrugging away my thoughts, I texted Rinoz and Ahira asking for shopping and went to have a shower.

My phone rang when I was getting ready and I saw it was Ahira

"Haa Ahira, say" I said tying my watch.

"I am going out with Azlaan, so you take Rinoz with you" She informed and I was more than happy that I was able to spend some valuable time with Rinoz.

Maybe I can tell her today how I feel about her.

I got ready real quick and went to pick her up. We had our lunch out and went to the nearby mall. It's not like I love shopping, in fact I hate shopping with a woman. They take so long!

But Rinoz was real quick. She purchased something for herself, aunt and uncle and also for Ahira and Azlaan.

"How about some ice cream?" I asked to which she grinned.

"Sure! You can go and buy one, I will just use the washroom" She stated and went towards the side where the washroom was.

I was about to get the ice cream when my phone rang and it was important so I had to pick it up.

Our company was doing this new project with another one so, it was the CEO and he wanted to discuss something important.

I started making my way to the ice cream stall still talking on phone when someone or this stupid girl bumped into me.

"What the hell!" I cursed rubbing my forehead.

"Hey! I'll call you soon regarding the contract" I said to the person on the other end and disconnected the call.

"You!!" I looked up to find Ayesha staring at me with wide eyes.

"You!!" I frowned and retreated my hand from her waist and she backed away.

''What the hell are you doing here?" I snapped.

'Of course shopping' My mind butted in.

"Kyun? Tumhara mall hai?" She glared at me.

"God! Pata nahi kis ke muh laga tha subah subah" I murmured

"Exactly! See, even I am thinking the same" She smiled a sarcastic smile to which I rolled my eyes.

"Can't you see up while walking?''

"Weren't you seeing?" She asked, folding her hands to her chest.

I groaned and narrowed my eyes.

"Woah! What's going on??"

I saw Rinoz standing behind her, amusement dancing in her eyes looking at us.

"Hey, Ayesha di! " She engulfed this stupid girl in a bone crushing hug.

Rinoz smiled now looking at me and Ayesha while eyeing us.

"Why were you both fighting like husband and wife?" She laughed.

"We are not married! "

"We are not married"

We both shouted simultaneously.

"I know, I was kidding" She laughed.

"I would never marry someone like her" I said glaring at her.

I swear I felt guilty seeing a different kind of pain in her eyes. Something inside me told me that I should not be rude to her.

Ignoring the stupid thoughts, I dragged Rinoz with me in spite of her protest for spending some time with Ayesha.

"Stupid lioness" I murmured.

"What?"

"Nothing"
