Ruhaan's pov:

Adira said,"I think you have forgot Ruhaan's wife, that is me. I have a special song for my husband"

With this she stood up and came to me. What is she going to do now..?

She placed her hands around my neck and sang the below song

Soona soona lamha lamha
Meri raahein tanha tanha
Aa kar mujhe tum thaam lo
Manzil teri dekhe rasta

Mud ke zara ab dekh lo
Aisa milan phir ho na ho
Sab kuchh mera tum hi to ho

Bepanah pyaar hai aaja
Tera intezaar hai aaja

She slowly wrapped my arms around her waist.

Yaadon ke dhaagon mein hum tum bandhe hain Zara dor tum thaam lo Baahon mein phir se pighal jaane do mujhko Phir se mera naam

Main woh shamaa hoon jo roshan tumhein kar ke Khud to pighal jaungi
Subah ka sooraj tumhaare liye hai
Main hoon raat dhal jaungi

She came close to me and about to kiss me when I placed hand between our lips and pushed her away.

I said,"I am not fan of PDA. Sorry guys."

I looked at the place where Zara was sitting but she was not there. She left Ruhaani with Aarzoo. I thought of calling her then I thought she might not want to see me when she is depressed.

I don't want to go to my room so I was sitting in the garden on bench when I saw Zara going towards the mountain. Why is she going there?

I quickly followed her but I lost her mid way. She lost her mind What the hell is she doing here in forest at evening?

I started calling her name but there was no response. I checked my phone there was no signal. I think I should go back and take everyone help to look for her. If I get lost then who will find her. yes, I should go back and inform others.

I took few steps when I heard Zara's voice calling for help. I quickly ran towards the sound when I saw her lying on side slope. I think she slipped from the path as it is too steep. Her eyes are strained with tears. She is holding her leg which is bleeding.

I quickly slid along the slope and reached her. I hugged her to comfort her. She started crying and said,"I was so scared. It is getting dark. I was alone."

I said,"Who told you to run into the forest?"

She said,"It's all because of y-. I mean How will we return? Ruhaani will be restless. She can't stay without me."

I looked at the path above us and it's too far. I mean we can't climb up from here.

I said,"I think we have to wait for the help. We can't climb up."

She said,"Who told you to slide just like that? You should have called for help. Now how will we reach the top of it and go back?"

I said,"your tears make me lose my mind. you know this Zara. I saw your tears and leg bleeding, I can't stop myself and came down. I just-"

I stopped my rambling when I saw her staring at me.

I cleared my throat which brought her out of her trance. I said,"Anyway it's good we are together and not alone."

She just nodded and looked away.

It got completely dark now. We can't see anything. Zara shifted closer to me and I quickly wrapped my arm around her. I know she is scared of darkness. I switched my phone torch on and stood up when Zara stood up and got hold of my hand.

She said,"Where are you going?"

I said,"Don't worry. I am here. Just trying to collect the wood to light the fire.

I started searching for fallen branches and some pieces of wood which can be lit.

Zara is trying to follow me but her leg is hurt. I asked her stay at one place but she don't want to stay alone.

I had no choice so I gave her my phone and lifted her up in bridal style. she wrapped one arm around my neck from which she hold the torch and other hand is free. Whenever we find something I place her down and she take the log. I carry her and she will place it at one place. Like this we finally collected the logs.
I don't know how long it had been but I am very exhausted. My hands and legs are paining.

I lit the fire and both of us sat close to it in each other arms. I can see that Zara is struggling to stay awake.

I said,"You sleep. I will keep an eye."

She shook her head in no and said,"No I want to stay awake."

I said,"but you are sleepy. Don't worry trust me I will keep you safe."

She shook her head in no.

I said,"Why?"

She said,"I want to cherish this moment being with you." she snuggled closer to me. Her eyes almost dropping.

I think she is sleepy that is why she is rambling.

I felt my shirt getting wet. I looked at her and she has tears in her eyes.

I said,"Heyy..What happened?"

She shook her head in no and hid her face in my chest.

I lifted her face and cupped her cheeks then said,"Zara..Why are you crying?"

She said,"Why you betrayed me Ruhaan? What is it that she has which I don't?"

I kissed her forehead. I said,"You are so precious my love. No one is compared to you. "

She said,"Then why? Why Ruhaan? Why you left me? Am I that bad?"

I shook my head in no. I said,"You are the best thing that happened to me Zara."

She said,"really?"

I said,"Yes. No one can take your place in my life."

She glared at me and said,"Why did you marry Adira leaving me?"

What to tell her?

She said,"You are very bad Ruhaan. You ruined me. You ruined my life. I hate you."

I said,"I am sorry. I hope Arham is not a jerk like me and he treats you well."

She said,"He is too good and he cares for Ruhaani a lot. He was always there for me. He is perfect husband material but"

I said,"but?"

She mumbled,"Iammarriedtoyou."

I said,"Zara what are you saying?"

She said,"Why you married me Ruhaan?"

She remembers it that we are married. I thought she forgot with time. It's been five years. Before going to higher studies to London. I took Zara with me for a date where we came across bulk wedding for muslims. We both were young and I was leaving and as a promise that she will stay mine I asked her to marry me. She agreed then we got married that day. Next day I left for London then we never brought up this marraige topic until today. I thought she forgot about it when she got married to Arham but it's a shock that she remembers it. Then why she married Arham? They have a child for god sake. Should I ask her?

I looked at her who was already asleep. you will drive me crazy Zara.
I love you. There will be no one but you in my heart forever. I wish I knew why I left you. I wish I knew what happened with me. I wish we would have got married as per the plan. I wish Ruhaani was our daughter. I wish we would have got our happily ever after. I lost you and I know I can never get you back.

Arham's pov:

Me and Aarzoo are in our room with Ruhaani and Yahya.

I said,"Where is Zara?"

She said,"Zara told me that she want some fresh air and requested me to look after Ruhaani."

I said,"It's been more than an hour. I think she should be back by now."

She said,"May be she is with Yarah and Aliza. I will call them."

She called them and then said,"She is not with them. Arham where is She?"

I said,"Don't panic. I just call the boys. May be she is with them."

She is not with anyone. Ruhaan's phone is also unreachable. I hope they both are together.

What to do? where to look for her?

We looked everywhere in the hotel but she is no where. We called police and they are searching the surroundings as one of the guard said that he saw Zara and Ruhaan going into the forest in the evening. Adira is dancing on our head to find Ruhaan. I understand she is worried for her husband but by shouting she cannot find him. Zara is also missing but Adira cares for Ruhaan only. I feel that is very selfish of her. Ruhaani is crying nonstop. She is out of control. please Allah keep them safe.

Hope you are enjoying :)
