Zahra's POV:-

I smiled as I saw the happiness on the faces of those children. Some were playing with the toys while some were playing in the sand, while some played with water.

Water....Water!!! I'll sure take my revenge from Shehryaar. Couldn't he have used something else to wake me?

A smile soon crept as his laughing face flashed across my mind. Things are starting to get better and I'm happy that he's been trying to move on.

Trust me Zahra....

His words replaying in my head. I do Shehryaar....I trust you with my life. But what if something happens to him..... No.I can't can't let anything bad happen to Shehryaar he's already been through enough.

A sudden feeling of uneasiness spread across me and I felt suffocated. Shehryaar he's gone since long.

I tried to shake the feeling and started looking for Shehryaar

Ya Allah kyun ho rahi hai ye ajeeb si bechaini...ek alag sa darr hai dil mei.Ya Khuda bas sabko apne hifazat mei rakhna.

I prayed inwardly and continued walking when I spotted Shehryaar standing far. I walked towards him but halted when I heard Hussain calling me "Zahra! Zahra" I turned around and saw Hussain running upto me.

He bent down breathing heavily because of the running. Gaining his breath he stood straight. "Zahra where were you I searched almost the park and where is Shehry?" he said and I rolled my eyes on his over exaggerated statement.

"We were just taking a walk around. Shehryaar is there" I said as I walked towards him and Hussain followed suit. I saw someone standing in front of Shehryaar but quite couldn't see her face.

"Hussain wo Shehryaar ke saath kon hai?" I asked as I saw the girl leaping towards Shehryaar and hugging him.

Most of his accomplices and colleagues usually meet him like this so maybe she's one of them. "Shehryaar aap...."

"Sara...." my words got lost in my throat as Hussain said in a hollow tone. I turned to face him with shock evident on my face.

"What..." I managed to choke out and Hussain and looked at me. "She's Sara" he said in a flat tone and I my knees going weak.

I again looked at Shehryaar and saw him wrapping his arms around her. Thats when my world came crashing down and I couldn't take it anymore. The fresh warm drops started flowing down my eyes and I wiped them away.

"Hussain please take me home" I said with my voice trembling. "But Zahra..." "Please Hussain" I said again and he nodded. I walked out of the park without turning around.

Shehryaar's POV:-

I looked up to see Sara standing in front of me. Sara....the same Sara who I was hesitant to meet first, the same Sara with whom I fell in love with, the same Sara who crushed my heart, the same Sara who made me hate the word love.

"Shehryaar......" she said and leaped forward wrapping her hands around me. My mind was in a complete haze and my hands raised to their own accord. "Shehryaar....I missed....I missed you" she said and I shut my eyes tight as the past wounds became sore again.

But what about Zahra? My Heart whispered.

The same Zahra who wants your happiness, the same Zahra who wants you to move on from your past, the same Zahra who is trying to mend your broken heart, the same Zahra who is striving for your love.......

I pulled back my hands and pushed Sara away from me. She didn't expect this from me as she stumbled but regained her balance.

"Shehryaar..." she again took a step forward when I stopped her by raising my hand.

"I'm married" I said and she looked at me.
.

"Kyun aai tum waapas Sara...kyun aao tum un zakhmo ko fir se jagaane jo abhi abhi bharna shuru hue the......kyun" I said as tears formed in my eyes and my voice shattered not above a whisper.

"Shehryaar I didn't want to leave you....ever, but I had too" she said and I looked at her.

I chuckled and allowed that tear fall off the waterline. "You had too? Why? For breaking me apart? For crushing my feelings? For making me realize that love doesn't exist?" I yelled as I felt the pain stabbing me.

"Because I love you" she yelled and I jerked my head to her.

"Because I love you.....and I know you do too" she said and I stepped back.

No I can't. I can't break my promise to Zahra.

But you love Sara. My mind whispered.

"Shehryaar won't you give me another chance.....please just a chance" She said lowly and I looked at her.

Another chance?

Zahra's POV:-

Running straight to my room I locked it from inside as I fell down to the floor.

Zindagi mere saath hi aisa khel kyun karti hai....kyun. Kyun har waqt sab sahi lagne par hi galat chala jaata hai. Kya gunah hai mera?

I let out the sob I was holding in. Getting up I walked towards the table but stumbled and my hand hit the music player.

Sau aansu roye do ankhiya
Sau aansu roye do ankhiya.....
Maara hai jinhe neendo ne......
Kabhi na soye wo ankhiya....

Dil ka musaafir baat na maante..
Mud mud dekhe raste puraane...
Zidd chorhta hi Nahi.....

Dekh raha hai kaanch ke sapne..
Ik na ik din hain jo tidakne
Ishq mein tooti cheeze jag mein
Koi jodta hi nahi, dil jaane na

Sau aasoon roye do akhiyan
Sau aasoon roye do akhiyan
Maara hai jinhe neendon ne
Kabhi na soye wo akhiyaan
Wo ankhiyan..

O..

Jaane waala jaane nahi
Jaane se uske jaan gayi
Aate jaate phir wo dikhe
Palkon ne chhaane mod kayi

Guzra huaa pal guzra nahi
Uska laga rang utra nahi
Hothon se chhuti nahi gaye saajan ki batiyan

Sau aansu roye do akhiyan
Sau aansu roye do akhiyan
Maara hai jinhe neendon ne
Kabhi na soye wo akhiyan

Wo.. o...

Kaise koi roke bhalaa
Haath laqeerein chhod gayin
Laakhon dil ke tukde kiye
Dhadkan ko bhi tod gayi

Kabhi theharega dard kahin
Koi gunjaaish dikhti nahi
Chanda bin jiya na lage
Jal kaajal si ratiyan

Sau aansu roye do akhiyan
Sau aansu roye do akhiyan
Maara hai jinhein neendon ne
Kabhi na soye woh akhiyan

Wo.. o...

Sau aansu roye
Sau aansu roye do akhiyan
Sau aansu roye do akhiyan
Sau aansu roye..
Maara hai jinhein neendon ne..
Kabhi na soye... woh akhiyaan..

The song made me cry all the more and how funny that it was perfect according to the turmoil of life I was going through.

I let the tears flow as I leaned over the table. My tears dropping on the frame. The photo frame with the picture of my marriage.

I shut my eyes and my lips quiver. Taking a deep breath I took the papers in my hand and smiled through the tears.

Bas yahi tak tha saath humara?

Ok so don't beat me for not writing it upto what you expected! I am really sorry if I didn't do enough justification to their feelings.

Feel free to say if this was not upto the mark.I'm open to all sorts of constructive criticism which would help me improve.

And do read "Meri Taman'na" by PearlEyes_Dhoomie. It's a one chapter moral story and I bet you all will love it.

Also "Just a chance" by ArhamBukhari and "Zidd" by lonelydreamer543

SEE YOU SOON
