14. HUSSAIN TURNED 23!!!

“So you are going to gift him a Rolex watch?” Selena looked at the small black velvet box weirdly and I smiled ear to ear.

“Yup! Finally Selena, you know I bought it 2 years back after saving money for three years” I told her and her eyes went wide.

“Three years?..... how did it cost? I guess too much han!” she held the watch in her hand.

“Ummmm… han but gifts ki price nai batate” I said and she rolled her eyes.

“Dude! Why don’t I have such a friend who gifts me Prada and Gucci on my every birthday” Selena made a cute face and I chuckled.

“You have your Mady!!!” I said and she laughed.

“Ah! Wo…. Kanjoos kaheen ka!” I laughed at her expressions.

“And what the hell is that girl?” she pointed towards the big mauve box.

“It is also for him” I said simply.

“And what exactly it contains?’ she asked holding the box, it wasn’t that heavy.

“Memories!” I said, feeling down all of a sudden. “good and not so good, both kind of” I added and she searched my face closely.

“All is well here?” she snapped her fingers at my face and I gave a fake laugh.

“Yup, all is well…. All is well” I beamed at her.

“It has all those letters that I have ever written for them and specially for him, and all those pictures and sketches I made for Hussain!” I touched the box…

“So all this for Hussain? And what for Shehroz?” Selena smiled casually, didn’t realizing her question brought those uncomfortable feeling back to my heart. I remained silent.

“You are crazy Mannat!” Selena laughed.

“I know….” I said planly and she came and sat with me.

“Hey! What happened? All of a sudden that chirping Mannat has gone, kia hua hea?” her urdu accent sucks man! I chuckled at hre.

“Nothing Selena, aewaeen bus pehle ki bat alag thi, I used to be far more crazier then what I am today. Things have changed a bit” I said, avoiding her gaze.

“What has brought the change?” She asked.

“Bari ho gai hoon na ub, bachi na rahi….” I giggled and she pplayfully slapped my head

“Okay, tell me what are you going to wear?” Selena stood up and aske rubbing her hands, I didn’t think about that at all… shittt!

Selena opened my closet and started examining every dress I had, finally she took out a shimmering black top and keeping it cloes to her she spun round….

“This is perfection, girl!” She beamed at me, but I dunno what happened to my mood…. I felt bad.

“This is too glittery Selena, I want to wear something simple….”I stood up and went to my closet, I t had been long since I wore something eastern so I took out my long white Kurta and white chooridar along with it. It had no duppata on that, it was simple lightly embroidered kurta.

“yup! I’ll wear this one” I took it out, ignoring Selena’s duh! Expressions.

“Mannat! It’s a party, You should wear something hot and appealing you know” she rolled her eyes…

“Haha! Nope rather I should wear something not at all hot and appealing Selena!” I said dancing my hands in air and Selena chuckled. I went to take a bath and Selena went outside, after taking a long warm bath I felt some what relaxed. I came out and hurriedly wore my dress after drying up my hair…

I want to keep things simple, but the thought of going to Hussain’s party was messing things up in my head and heart. I was brushing my locks when suddenly my fingers stoped and I gazed upon my reflection in the mirror…. My heart was beating fast, I put my hand on my heart and felt that stupid dhak dhak was back. I closed my eyes and tried to shake away the thoughts.

“Why are you going there Mannat? You shouldnt be going, shouldn’t be meeting him again….. you forgot, what you decided before coming here! you have to avoid him Mannat! You have to. This is not going to be any good…. Going closer to him will destroy you… it will bruise you as it did the day you met him first. Remember!” I hurriedly opened my eyes, the voice was haunting me now.  I was still having ahand on my heart….. what was I doing? I shouldn’t be going there…. I backed off and literally fell on my bed, I held my head in my hands couldn’t think of a wayout.

“May be I am over thinking, it is just a birthday party after all. Why am I taking things to that level? Hussain already hates me, or acha he hea…. Werna things would have been more complicated….” I shook the thoughts away and stood up, applied a little touch up, picked up my clutch and headed out of my room, that mauve box was placed on the dinning table…..

“Sai to keh rai thi Selena, what for Shehroz? What for him who is going to be my husband one day?...... nothing for him! Not even my heart….???” I so didn’t want to go to the party now, but I knew I had to……

“Is it too much? Should I give it to him or not? Ziada to nai ho jae ga kaheen?.... nai! I have to get rid of it, I cant keep it anymore. These memories are supposed to be washed away…. Given away!” with this final thought I held it up and holding my car keys I headed outside, placed the box in the car and took out my movile phone to recheck the location.

“Darbaar-e-khas” I read the location and sat inside the car. 

SHEHRY’S END

“Waqas, you texted Mannat about the timming and location?” I asked Waqas, he was ironing his jeanz, I frowned at him…. Is he crazy!I mean, Who irons jeanz?

“Yup man I did….. What?” he said and then catching my expressions he shoot one eyebrow.

“Are you mad? Pant q istiree ker rah ea saley?” I laughed at him.

“Q? nai ker sakta?... tujhe kia hea… I always do this” Waqas rolled his eyes.

“Yeah yeah! then iron your chaddii as well, in fact meri bi ker dena” I joked and Waqas showed the hot iron at my face, I backed off.

“Oye kamla ho gaya hea kia! Acha khasa thobrra mera begarne wala tha, shadi bi nai hui abhi to meri” I checked my face in the mirror and Waqas chuckled a loud.

“Oye Hussain is calling….” Waqas suddenly looked at his cell phone and said, he put the phone on speakers.

“Hello!” Hussain’s voice came.

“hey! Hiii kahan mar gaya hea yar?” Waqas asked

“It is hell jamm here bro! and Atif is driving like an idiot” I chuckled at his tone.

“Am only driving safe man!” we heard Atif clearing.

“you actually took the wrong route bro!” Hussain said, in an irritated tone and Was winked at me

“Oho, don’t worry we will be a bit late as well… tum dono ja ker order shoder kerna we will be there in an hour or so” I said looking at my wrist watch.

“Okay, hope this traffic clears soon” Hussain sighed and we hung up.

“Hurry up Waqas we need to be there before him, Mom and dad are on their way, just texted me”I told Waqas and he holding his dress went into the bathroom.

We didn’t tell Hussain about the party, and he was so busy in the preperations for leaving that he simply forgot about the celebration. we just said we will have dinner together, as he was supposed to leave for India next day. Hussain had to meet Ferhan today so Atif picked him up from there and he purposefully took the longer and wrong route, bacha samajhdaar ho gaya hea! I chuckled….

“Shehry! Yaar Smith is calling…” I was setting up my hair when I heard Waqas yelling from the bathroom.

“So? Should I dance?” I rolled my eyes.

“Dumbass!...... call him back, I can’t call him right now… naha ra hoon yar” Waqas’ irritated voice came

“Q? moo per tape laga k nahata hea tu?” I joked and Waqas opening the door slightly threw his sleeper at me.

“Oye!....... kameeney! Mera coat kharab hota na to mein bhoon dalta tujhe” I yelled aloud and heard him laughing.

I reluctantly took out my phone and dialed Smith’s number…we actually invited all of our friends, hussain’s class mates all of them close or far doesn’t matter.

“Stop it hero! Bus ker ja… toot jae ga sheesha. Bhabi wese he tuj se impress hea you don’t have to break the mirror” Waqas smirked at me and I rolled my eyes.

We got ready and hurried outside, Waqas booked best hotel around Darbar was famous for its interior and its presentation.

We stopped in front of the hotel, Waqas parked his mustang and we came out. It was an amzing place, actually it was an Indian hotel… interiors showed that as well. We were entering inside the hall after checking up on the reception when I saw that starbucks guy and stoipped in my tracks.

“What the eff he is doing here?” I looked at him, he was sitting in the main hall alone this time, busy on his cell phone.

“Sanu ki…. Chal aa ja” Waqas patted my shoulder and I glaring him last time, headed after Waqas.

Almost all the friends were already there, few were coming… suddenly my eyes got stuck on her and she ran towards me opening her arms wide open, I smiled broadly at her and scooped down to hug her.

“Hey! My princess…. How are you?” I hugged her, she was as always hugging my waist back.

“Hi! Shehry Bhai….am good, where is Sain bhai?”Maha asked looking at my back and I smiled at her.

“He is coming with Ati bhai……” I stood up and held her hand in mine.

She was looking too cute in that pink shimmering frok, ah! I felt so good holding her hand.

“Shehry Bhai! Bhabi is there” maha looked at me and said cutely pointing towards the far end and I laughed.

“Princess, I was trying to find Mom Dad” I ruffled her hair and she looked at me angrily.

“Bhai, don’t mess my hair” she took out her hand from my grip and started running… I laughed and ran after her trying to catch her up.

“Hey Shehry, I will take care of the lights… you announce them all to stay quiet. Specially teri wali…. Kitna bolti hea yar, is ki awaaz to Darbar se bahir bhi ja rai ho gi” Waqas held my arm and stopped me in my tracks. I laughed at him.

“Chiriya hea meri…. Kia karoon!” I said cheekily and Waqas rolled his eyes.

“Chonch band kara us ki thori der k liye” Waqas smacked my head and I giggled.

HUSSAIN’S POV

Finally we stopped in the parking and me and Atif came out, I tucked my coat’s button and we headed towards the entrance.i looked at the hotel, It is damn expensive man, I know ub ye saley mujh se nikalwaen ge dinner ka bill… I mentally chuckled. Atif was walking calmly with me… he stopped near the reception while I stood in front of the huge mirror on the front wall, checked my reflection. I was looking all right, brushed my fingers in my hair and turned back to Atif. I followed him where he was going as I didn’t know which table they had booked.

“Hey! Where are you going? dinning hall is this way” I pointed to our west and Atif sighed.

“nope, we have booked table in the hall” Atif said carelessly.

“Q? hall q? mujra kerna hea  tu ne wahan?” I joked and Atif laughed

“Nai tuj se karana hea aj to” he wined at me and I smacked his head.

WAQAS’S POV

“Hey! People… friends! They are coming, stay quiet okay! Maha! You too” Waqas announced and then looked down at Maha who rolled her eyes showing her tounge at me, I chuckled.

We switched off all the lights, and waited for Hussain and Atif to enter. After a couple of minutes the door swung open….

HUSSAIN’S POV

“Why the hell is it so dark?” I entered in the hall and it was all dark inside.

“Surpriiiiiise!” Atif yelled up and before I could get anything the lights suddenly turned on and there I was face to face with almost the bunch or retards! My friends…..

“Happy birthday!” I stepped inside and heard them yelling and wishing me at the top of their lungs! That’s a brilliant surprise man……

“Happy Birthday beta!” Mom came and I hugged her tight.

“Thanks Mom!... it is the best surprise ever guys” I looked at all of them. Waqas and Shehry beaming at me.

We hugged and then everyone wished me…..

“hi dever ji! Happy birthday” Bhabi was standing with Maha they came near me and I pulled up maha.

“Thanks bhabi…..” I said.

“Happy birthday sain!” maha kissed my check and I kissed her back.

“Thanks princess! I hope this time am not gonna get a monkey from you?” I winked at her and she laughed a loud.

“Come on the cake is here, lets cut it up” Waqas said a loud and we all gathered around the big round table that was placed in the middle, a huge cake was placed on it…. All creamy and yummy looking!

“I hope is bat ye knife se cut jae ga?” I looked above holding the knife and Waqas, Shehry and Atif laughed a loud.

“Thankfully this time, waqas’s expertise were not being used in this cake” Smith said and Waqas rolled his eyes. We all laughed and I cut the cake…….

MANNAT’S POV

I entered into the hall, well… it was pretty much a party han! There were so many boys and girls that I just don’t know, I could see Maha was standing there with an elderly woman… oh! Hussain’s mom. I have seen her in their family pic, I recognized her instantly.

My eyes shifted from person to person and finally my gaze stopped on him, he was holding maha up in the air then put her down kissing her cheeks. Everyone was wishing him, hugging him….. he was smilling broadly… that cutest most appealing smile ever!

I kept on standing at the entrance with the box in my hand when I saw Maha approaching towards me.

“Hey! Hi” she smiled at me looking up at my face and I scooped down.

“Hiiii sweetheart!” I patted her cheek.

“who are you?” and what is in this box?” she asked innocently.

“Am Mannat!.... and this… is Huricane’s… um! Hussain’s gift” I corrected myself, looking at the bix and she chuckled.

“Hurricane kia hota hea?”she asked, her features were so like her brothers, the same broad grin, those sparkling eyes and that cutest smile. Ahhhhh! Full family he tabahi hea.

“Um……it… it means sweet” I couldn’t think of anything else so tried to change the topic… “ you are looking really pretty han!”

“I know!” she said and I giglled at her cuteness.

“Oh! Bhai has cut the cake…. Aao na!” she suddenly held my hand and I stood up.

“Come give it to bhai……” she said excitedly and I reluctantly walked behind her, with she holding my hand.

HUSSAIN’SPOV

I made them eat the cake… it was yummmm!

“hey no bro! no……..please!” I backed off when Shehry held cream in his fingers trying to mash it up on my face.

“Hahaha ub tujhe mujh se kon bachae ga….. basantiiiii” Shehry flaunted in a filmy way and I laughed.

“Shehry! Stop it okay……no!” I pointed a finger at him controlling my laugh and he giglled.

I was about to say something when suddenly I felt something wet on my cheek near my stubble…… shitttt! Cream… I turned and saw Waqas smirking at me.

“Happy birthday kid!” he yelled and I glared him angrily.

“chal koi nai thori or laga le…. Yeh le!”Shehry mashed up the cream on the other cheek and I losed my eyes tight, that tickling was Ah! So irritating

“Hamari bari to reh gai!” I heard Atif, Smith and Hamza yelling out.

“okay okay! Thori thori….. khaberdar agaer ziada lagai, mein ne dhulaai ker deni heat um logo ki” I eyed them and they chuckled.

Ahhhhh! All of them made me eat the cake and few of then mashed up the cream on my face…..yukkiiiii! tickling!!!! Few of my class mates also did the same following the Brown people…….

Finally I could go to the washroom to clean the mess, Iexcused them and headed towards the washroom… I looked down at my coat and found cream there… aaa! My coat got ruined, salon ne ise bhi nai chora….. I was looking at that when suddenly I hit something…. Someone! Our heads got bumped and heard a small shriek…..I looked up and …..

MANNAT’S POV

Hussain’s face was almost covered with cream, still looking too cute… Maha was holding my hand and laughing at his brothers’ silliness.

“hey Sain Bhai!” she called him but he didn’t listen, he was heading towards our direction, looking at his runed coat… he is coming here! Oh God.

He came closer and closer and closer…. And BAM !!! we bumped into eachother, And I mentally slapped myself for not getting out of his way.

“oh! Am sor…..” he looked up and stoped in his tracks, the box fell on the floor thankfully didn’t get open werna sametta kon!.... I looked at his face thought he rubbed tissue but still their was cream left on his face, near that stubble… Ah! That stubble! The sexiest thing on earth…….

“am sorry!”his deep serious voice made me jump out of my thoughts, I looked up to meet his eyes and  caught a little smirk playing on his lips. Shitttt! Mannat you were staring at his face like idiots!

“um… its okay!” I said, his gaze went up to my hanging locks, feeling nervous I tried to push my locks at the back of my ear when I felt something wet there…. Ah! It was cream, his face’s cream was on my lock!

“Ahh….cream” it slipped out of my mouth

He extended his hand up, holding a tissue in it I looked at the tissue then looked back at his face….

“pakrooo!.....” he said forcefully and I hurriedly took the tissue from his hand.

“your hair got all messy” I just forgot Maha was still standing there.

“Princess! Take her to the washroom….. better clean it up” Hussain looked at Maha then said to me looking at my hair and I nodded. I felt he was avoiding my gaze… what was wrong with him?

“hey Bhai! She has brouth this for you” maha pointed towards the box on the floor and both of us looked down.

“OH! There was no need for that!” Hussain tried to be formal…. Ah! Awkward moment, I bent down and picked it up

“Happy birthday!” I held the box towards him, trying to smile.

“um…. Listen! I seriously don’t take gifts from fans…. Thanku very much” He said and headed past us……

“Hussain! I called him back and he stopped.

“This isn’t a big gift….. bus job hi hea tumhara hea, everything in this box belongs to you. Mein apne rakh k kia karoon gi ise. Take it and do whatever you want to… keep it or throw it” I looked down at box, didn’t look up at him and surprisingly he took it from me. I could feel his gaze upon me but I kept looing down……

“hey Maha! Show me the washroom sweetheart… ” I turned back to maha and held her hand again, she smiled at me and we headed past him…

HUSSAIN’S POV

“It isn’t a big gift….. bus jo bhi hea tumhara he hea. Mein apne rakh k kia karoon gi ise. Take it and do whatever you want to… keep it or throw it” she said looking down at the mauve big box she was carrying.

I slowly took the box from her hands….. couldn’t look away from her face!

I could feel she was hell nervous, why? I mean, that day in the café I saw that Sultan Rahii side of her and today she was literally looking down at her hands… avoiding my gaze, her breath all heavy.

She turned and holding Maha’s hand went past me…..

Ah! Girls…. Koi nai samajh sakta inko. Kabhi to Aafat lagti hea or kabhi…

“or kabhi?.......” I didn’t realize I was aloud and Shehry and Waqas were standing at my head, smirking at me. Oh God!

“kia hea?.... or kis ne bulaya tha is Aafat ko yahan?” I tried to change the topic and Waqas proudly raised his hand in the air. I rolled my eyes.

“Very good!” I said sarcastically and he bowed down.

“Chal boothi dho ker a te fir kholeen ise……” Shehry rubbed his hands in excitement and looked at the box, I was still holding.

“Tu khol le bhai…… le” I handed him the box and headed towards the wash room.

I came out of the wash room and saw Shehry, Waqas, Atif and Smith standing with Mom and dad….. wait a sec! what is she doing with them? I headed towards them….

“Nahi aunty, Mama Baba never go back to London, they permanently settled back in Pakistan” I heard her telling Mom

“Arey! Hussain beta where have you been?” dad asked looking at me

“Nothing dad boothi dhone gaya tha” Atif wrapped his arm around my shoulder, My gaze suddenly went up at her… she wasn’t looking at me. She was pretty… no, more then just pretty… actually she was pretty attractive….

“that board you gifted to them is beautiful beta!.... I wonder kitni mehnat se banaya ho gat um ne” Dad’s voice brought me back to reality.

“Thank you uncle…. Mehnat ka to pata nai but yeah! piyaar se buhat banaya tha” she said with a cute smile on her face. suddenly she looked at me and caught me staring her back….. I felt her expressions changed the smile faded away and she looked down again.

“Shehry where is bhabi?” I tried to divert my attention away from her.

“She had to attend her friend’s engagement party so she left early…” Shehry replied with a tint of sadness in his tone

“Awww… bhai don’t be sad, tu bhi chala jata sath” I elbowed him and he glared at me.

“um… I think I should be leving now” Mannat said.

“Arey ruko abhi…. Atleast have dinner yar!” Waqas tried to stop her but she slowly shook her head.

“Nai… thanks a lot for inviting me I enjoyed a lot…. But someother time, abhi I should get going” She said politely still looking at everyone but ME! Why?......

“Aunty, Uncle…. It was really nice meeting you” she turned and said to Mom Dad. Dad smiled back patting her head while Mom hugged her warmly.

“And loved to meet you too little princess” She scooped down and kissed Maha’s cheek… Maha smiled and hugged her.

She waved good bye and headed towards the exit, my eyes don’t know hy followed her till she disappeared from the hall……

“Gai…..” Atif elbowed me lightly and I looked away, trying to hide my feelings. Feelings,jin k bare mein khud mujhe nai samajh aa rai thi ……. It sucks!

Waqas turned on the music and we started dancing on the beats of some random Punjabi bollywood numbers….. when suddenly my eyes went on the table where that box was placed, I slowly went there, everyone was busy in dancing… I slowly too up the lid and removed it.

“What the…….” It was filled up with pages, different kind of pages, plane, coloured, lined but all were filled up with writings. I put my hand inside and took out a bunch of them… few were folded, few unfolded….there were my sketches too…. They were amazing! I put them back inside when my hand touched something hard, I held it…. A box I guess. I took it out, it was a square black velvet box. I looked at that and then opened it slowly… my eyes popped out in utter shock, a Rolex!!!!

there was a small note inside the box… “I know you love it a lot Hussain…my only wish is to make you wear it myself……one day! One lucky day I will!”

my mouth was half open, eyes all wide. I couldn’t believe I was holding that… “she is crazy! I cant take that…. Man! Its so expensive, pagal hai ye larki”

I closed the black box put the note in the bigger one and holding it in hand went outside the hall almost running…… may be she was still there outside.

MANNTA’S END

It was perfect, a happy perfect family… I so loved meeting them all, the only thing I was afraid of was him, his presence around me even make me lose myself….. I tried a lot to avoid him but how far….. he was standing there right in front of me, I couldn’t even properly replied to his Dad’s question….. I felt myself going weaker, I couldn’t take that anymore so I excused them and after saying good byes I headed out of the hall. Once I was out I was breathing….. Ah! Finally I could breathe normally.

“I always took you as a star…. The brightest one on the sky Hussain, you were unreachable for me… you were something far away. I used to love you, adore you…. Sab kuch to theek chal raha tha, phir q mil gaye tum mujh se…. q? q badal diya sab kuch Hussain? Q mujhe is bat ka ahsas dila diya that… that you are a human being who can feel, who can laugh, who can get angry… a normal human being with whome I can fall in love….. sab kuch to theek tha, all was fine phir q mile tum muj se….?” I was walking out of the hotel, slowly pacing… lost in my thoughts completely unaware of what happeneing around me.

“you always wanted twists in your life Mannat… huhn! Now have it. The biggest twist in your life… Hussain Asif! You will love him and he will not….. wo tumhari ankhon k samne kisi or ka ho jae ga, or tum…. Tum us ki ho ker bhi us ki nai ho pao gi Mannat!.....” I was in the parking, my heart started beating fast… I stopped and looked around putting my hand on my heart. I looked around he wasn’t there, I shook my head and right when I turned… a car headed towards me, the bright lights simply dazzled my brain, I got numb couldn’t move, couldn’t yell….the car came closer… and I put my arm over my eyes……………….

“Mannat! Watchout”…………………

HUSSAIN’S POV

“This girl is simply making me crazy, pagal…… aesa bhi koi fan hota hea bhala, Rolex watch as a gift?..... ch! Kahan chali gai itni jaldi?.....” I was holding the box in my hand and coming out of the hall I looked around to find her but she wasn’t there…..

I hurriedly went out of the hotel…. “she must have came on a car or something, pedal to aai nai hogi!....” thinking this I headed towards the parking area, I was looking here and there when I found a girl walking in almost the middle of the lane, it was her…… I headed towards her when suddenly she stopped and turned around, I stopped in my tracks… I thought she saw me but she didn’t. Rather I saw her putting her hand on her heart….. her expressions were not clear from the distance but she looked lost. What happened!

I headed towards her almost running, when suddenly I saw a car coming towards her from the opposite direction and she turned…… putting an arm over her face.

“Mannat! Whatchout!” I shouted.

The car was too close to her when I reached near her and grabbing her arm I pulled her towards myself…..the car passed by…….taking out a little shriek, she tightly grabbed my coat’s collar with one hand while the other in mine, her forehead was resting my chest, I could feel her body trembling and her heartbeat unsteady…. For a couple of moments we stood there like this, I couldn’t believe what just happened. She wasn’t leaving my collar, her grip was tight… she was hell afraid, I slowly touched her shaking shoulder with my other hand.

“Mannat!... its okay….its okay!” I tried to calm her down, she slowly looked up at me, still holding my collar, fear was there… evident in her wet eyes.I slowly rubbed the tear from the corner of her eye and her gaze suddenly shifted towards her own hand cletching my collar.. she at once left it and backed off, looking all lost and frightened…..

I took a step towards her and she backed off, putting her hand on my chest making me stop in my tracks….. what the hell!!! What was that about?

MANNAT’S POV

I heard Hussain’s voice but too late, I closed my eyes, thought I was going to be hit hard by the car….. but suddenly I was grabbed and pulled forcefully but someone…. Hussain!!

I took hold of his collar tightly, my breath was unsteady… I was so shocked by this sudden jerk. I couldn’t look up at his face, I shut my eyes tightly… he was holding my arm tightly.

“Mannat!... its okay….its okay!” he tried to calm me down. I looked up at his face slowly, concern was there evident on his face… first time I saw something else then anger on his face… for me!”

I stepped back, mujhe nai chaiye ye concern Hussain. he took a step towards me, no! please, go!... go from my life! I put my hand on his chest stopping him.

“Its not okay…. Nothing is  okay! Nothing is okay Hussain!...”I didn’t understand how but I uttered those words a loud and saw a weird kind of expression on his face.

“Mannat!... tum theek ho?what is not okay?kia ho gaya hea” he asked, my hand still over his torso, his hands on his sides while our eyes were fixed on each other.

“tum nai samjho ge Hussain!...... don’t do this to me, don’t come near me!...please chale jao” I said holding back my tears and turned to leave, when suddenly he grabbed my wrist again and pulled me towards him self. I gasped at what he just did,my back crashed against his torso… his breath fanning my hair and neck… it was heavy so was mine. My wrist was twisted in his firm grip….. I got scared.

“I just came to say something, I thought to thank you for your gift…. but you know what! I guess I shouldn’t have saved your life even” his warm breath touched my ear, he was angry again! “…..aa jateen us garri k neechey to acha tha” he spatted angrily and left my wrist with a jerk. I couldn’t look at his face, mine was wet with tears…. I rubbed my cheeks and then headed towards my car… without looking back, with out saying anything I sat in my car and started it off, leaving him standing there.

HSSAIN’S POV

“tum nai samjho ge Hussain!...... don’t do this to me, don’t come near me!...please chale jao” she said with her hand still on my torso, trying to stop me as if I was going to gobble her up or something. I couldn’t believe she sai that….. what the hell did I do? Why was she reacting like that? Mental she was!

She turned to leave, my rage was seriously at its peak, ek to jan bachaai ooper se nakhre….. I picked up the box which was fell on the ground in trying to save that ungrateful girl. I held the box in my hand and by grabbing her wrist I stopped her in her tracks…. “I just came to say something, I thought to thank you for your gift…. but you know what! I guess I shouldn’t have saved your life even…. Aa jateen us gari k neeche to acha hota” I left her wrist with a jerk.…..and she without looking back, sat in her car and went off!!!

I hate her, I so hate her! Mental, pagal khudser larki !!!! I looked at the box wanted to throw it right there and then……..
