31. LOVE OR HATRED!!

 SHEHRY'S POV

“Shehry beta! you better get ready… they will be here soon.” Dad patted my back and got up from the couch, I nodded.

I stretched my arms wide… Ahhh its really my engagement, well… hard to believe. Sometimes its hard to decide if I was ready for such big responsibility I mean, marriage is a huge responsibility, but yeah! life gets even better when you have the right life partner and I surely have one. I smiled and turning off the tv I got up from the couch… I wonder where the hell are the rest of the boys! kaheen make up karwane to naheen puhanch gaye saloons, salon ka kuch pata nai chalta.

I entered in the room and found Waqas and Atif sleeping in the bed… what the! Its 5 in evening and its my engagement today. With that I snatched the quilt away from them… These idiots are still in vests and shorts…. Idiots!

“Abey! Salo…. Kia begherteez ker rae ho ye?” I kicked Waqas’s butt and he jumped up straight on the bed, looking here and there.

“What the hell man! ….. we are tired, sone de” Waqas tried to snatch the quilt back but I threw it away.

“Atif! Uth…..you people will go in this chaddhi banyan in my engagement? Salo.. respect my repo atleast, tum logo ki to hea he na” I shook Atif and he whined, stretching arms wide.

“Leh! Kia larkiyon ki terha angrraiyan le raha hea? Uth!” I grabbed his arm and made him sit straight on the bed.

“We are hell tired Shehry…. Teri engagement ne hamara band baja diya, who told you to arrange the party at home , han?” Atif made a face and I chuckled.

“Hussain!... great man, great idea” I said and Waqas rolled his eyes.

“Chal ub atleast, take out a dress for me yar… I cant get up” Waqas said and again fell on the bed.

“Han or tujhe yaheen nehla ker pehnaa bhi doon… Aalsii insaan” I snapped and he chukled.

Atif and Waqas reluctantly moved their hell lazy butts off the bed and Waqas stepped towards the bathroom, while Atif was still stretching his arms… still sleepy, I rolled my eyes.

“Hey! Is Hussain back?” he asked looking at his watch and I shook my head.

“Don’t know where has he gone?...its been more then an hour man!” I said and took out my phone and dialled his numbers. But right when I heard the first ring, he entered in the room….

“yar! Where have you been bro?” I asked and he smiled.

“Nothing just took Maha for some icecream” he said and Maha smiled ear to ear.

“we had so much fun Shehry bhai” She said spreading her arms wide.

“yeah! and wo bhi mere bager, han” I pintched her cheek playfully.

“tu kia kare ga aj icecream kha ker saley! Tere to paon zameen per nai tik rae aj…” Atif said and I laughed.

“Aye haye! Khushi check karo bachey ki” Hussain said and I rolled my eyes.

“Wese to teri bhi batteesii aj ander nai ja rai, kia bat hea?” I put my arm around his neck and his cheeks got turned blush

“Ahhh! Blushing…..whats cooking boy?” I poked him in his tummy and he chuckled shaking his head.

“Shehry betaaa! I hope you are ready” we heard Mom’s voice and I smacked my head.

“Yeah! mom almost” I shouted back and Hussain slapped my arm.

“Go get ready boy” he said and I holding my dress went out to the other bathroom.

MANNAT’S POV

I got dressed up in a simple white and blue frock with a blue embellished duppatta wrapped in my neck, straighten up my hair and giving a light touch up I came out of the room.

“ Mannat! Its his engagement what are you doing? No make up, no jewellery and these flats? Uffff! Fashion disaster” Seleena eyed me up and down and grabbing my arm she took me back in the room.

“Seleena please! I don’t want all this, please” I tried to stop her as she took out a pair of silver and black high heals… I just cant wear them tonight, am not used to of them.

“Acha? To you will wear flats in the party? Are you mad Mannat? Come on change” Seleena said and I rolled my eyes.

“Pehno…..! and for God’s sake do some make up” Seleena went towards my dresser and I hurriedly stopped her.

“No way! Seleena am looking perfect, I don’t do much make up you know this” I said and she glared at me. I wore the heals.

“Acha…. Wait, I will be back in a minute” she looked at my face then suddenly rushed out of the room and I followed her, trying not to trip, that heal was too much.

“here! Atleast wear these… they are going perfecto with your dress” Seleena extended some dull silver pair of jhumki towards me and I looked at them making a face.

“Seleena! I don’t wear jewelry yar…..” I tried to stop her but she was just too much.

“chup chap pehen lo samjheen” she handed me the jhumki and I looked at her blankly. She raised her eyebrows questioningly.

“pehna do….. I have never wore them before” I handed her back and she looked at me with her mouth half open

“are you serious? I mean, you don’t know how to wear ear rings? That’s the biggest lie Mannat!” she rolled her eyes. I knew she would not listen to my excuses at all, so I reluctantly wore them but…..

“ye band nai ho rae…..” I said and Seleena looked closely at them

“here! Show me” she said and tucking my hair aside she pined them up. She examined me up and down once again and whistled…..

“awara larki…..” I slapped her arm playfully and she laughed.

I took up my clutch and headed out of the apartment, I was walking really slow because of those idiot high heals, I sat in the car and started the engine…. My heart was pounding heavily at the thought of what Hussain was going to say today. I knew the answer deep down but I also knew that what is gonna happen after that. Till today I just had to fight with my own feelings but today I will have to face his as well, kese kahoon gi? Kese rokoon gi usey? Kaheen phir se nafrat kerne laga wo mujh se to?

I didn’t want to cry… no, Mannat! Abhi to kuch hua he nai hea abhi to you have to face him and his….. confession. Asal kam to baki hea abhi you have to find a way, think about it. you can not break his heart…  mujhe kia pata tha k all of a sudden everything will change and ye din bhi aajae ga. today Hussain is at the point where I am standing fo so long. I know Hussain tumhen dukh ho ga buhat dukh ho ga…. but am sorry, I cant change the reality, and reality is that am committed and this can not be changed now.

I drove to Shehry’s house my gps was showing me the way, in past few years here in NewYork I got much familiar with the roads and the ways… and thankfully my driving skills have become much better as well. I arrived at the place and parked my car in the shed. I was about to get out of the car when my cell phone rang up….

“Hello!” I said

“Hey! Hello! Girl you are late….. kahan ho, gum to nai gaeen kaheen?” it was Atif, and I chuckled.

“Nopes, am infront of your apartment in fact….” I said and heard him sighing in relief.

“Oh! Great then what are you waiting for? Come on, come in” Atif said and we hung up.

Holding my clutch I stepped out of the car and headed towards their apartment, I could see lights coming out of it… it was shimmering like stars on sky and I could hear the sounds and music coming out. I stopped at the door and tried to calm myself, the door was open…. I slowly pushed the door and he was there, I stopped in my tracks he was looking handsome as always in that black and grey suit with his hair gelled up giving him the most breathtaking look in the world. He was bent down and talking to Maha…. A warm smile spread over my face he looked cute making faces at Maha… teasing her up I guess, Ahhh! brothers. I was smiling when suddenly Maha pointed towards …. Me and Hussain looked at my direction, he slowly got straight and our eyes met. Smile faded from my face as I saw him coming towards me.

HUSSAIN’S POV

“how are you Hussain beta!? you look much better, in fact perfect now MashaAllah” Minal’s father put his hand on my shoulder and I smiled.

“g uncle am fine now, Alhamdulilah” I replied and he patted my head.

“Hussain! yar this cd.. its stucking up man!” I heard Waqas coming into the drawing room and I excused them.

“yeah! coming” I got up and headed out of the room.

Bhabi and her family was here and the engagement ceremony was about to take place shortly, she wasn’t here yet. I asked Atif to call her up and check out kaheen gum guma to nai gai, Aafat!

“Man! Something is wrong han!...” I looked at the cd in the music system, it was stucking up.

“wo to humein bhi pata hea tujhe solution nikalne bulaya hea bakrii… news na suna” Shehry smacked my head.

I checked the system and tried my best to detect the issue but I guess my concentration was somewhere else, I couldn’t find out the problem. After few minutes of trying I finally gave up and Waqas literally threw the cd aside…. He picked up another and placed it inside thankfully it worked.

“yar! Wese bhabi is looking too cute, you two make a great couple han!” I looked at Minal sitting in the drawing and found Shehry gawking at her.

“ yeah! she is” he said without looking away and I chuckled.

“Shehry beta! come here” we heard Mom calling him and Shehry hurriedly stepped towards the drawing.

“oye araam nal veerey! Bhag nai rai bhabi” Waqas grabbed his arm and Shehry giggled.

Shehry headed towards the room and I saw Maha stading there in her cute purple frok, smirking at me. I shot any eyebrow at her and she sticked out her tongue at me.

“oye! What happened?” I went closer to her and she chuckled.

“Bhaiiii… batao na kis k liye li hea wo?” She asked mischievously and I rolled my eyes.

“kia? Kia liya hea?” I asked acting oblivious

“acha? Acting? Shehryy bhaaaai!” she sad putting her hands on her waist and called Shehry I at once put my hand on her mouth.

“hey! What do you want?...kia lo gi moo band rakhne ka?” I asked and she laughed.

“ummmm 500 dollars plus that jacket we saw in the mall today.” she said all casually and I smacked her head.

“ja beta!  bata de.. sab ko” I said and she rolled her eyes and to my surprise she headed towards the drawing room, I hurriedly grabbed her arm and bending down at her face level…. pointed a finger at her “ khaber dar jo moo khola! Nai to… Shehry ke office wala laptop giraya tha na us din? Bata doon ga use” I tried to threaten her and her eyes pooped out.

“how do you know?” she asked and I smirked at her….

“ha! I have my ways princess” I ruffled her hair.

“but he had it fixed now…..” She tried to defend and I chuckled shaking my head, I was about to say something when suddenly Maha looked at the front and a smile appeared on her face.

“hey! Your friend bhai” she pointed and I turned to look….

She was there, standing at the door… smiling warmly towards us, I slowly got, she was looking beautiful… simple yet breathtakingly pretty, she was wearing a long white and blue frock, her duppatta was placed in her neck elegantly, her wavy locks were straight today and her smile was the cherry on the top, cute… and powerful, making me forget about everything else. I slowly headed towards her forgetting about Maha…. I went closer to her and felt her smile changed into nervousness… she looked even pretty now, blushing all red.

Teri meri.. raaton ne kiye hain kuch iraade

Milli hai jo ab ye mulaqaatein

Koi jaadu hone ko hai

Teri meri.. hui aankhon-aankhon mein jo baatein

Mili hai jo ab ye mulaqaatein

Koi jaadu hone ko hai

Jadu sa he kuch tha us ki ankhon mein…. Which made me unable to utter a single word, I was lost into them completely when suddenly the music coming from the hall made me jump out of my train of thoughts…. Waqas ki cd bhi sahee time per kam dikhati hea, Waqas ki tarah he hea. I smiled and found her still standing there. looking at my amusement in confusion.

“hiiii” she said softly and I smiled warmly at her, finally she was here.

“hello! Buhat jaldi nai aa gaeen tum?” I asked seriously and she literaly looked at her watch.

“q? Atif to keh raha tha k der ho gai hea” She said innocently and I chuckled.

“nai,…. Itni bhi der nai hui abhi” I winked at her, she blushed hard.

“can I come in?” She asked and I took a step back letting her come in.

“this way” I showed her the way and she smiled.

“hiiii Maha! How are you dear?” She saw Maha and I eyed her to shut her mouth, Maha chuckled and shook hand with Mannat.

“am fine….. how are you?” Maha asked cutely and Mannat beamed at her.

Haayeee!!!....They both headed towards the drawing and I sighed deep putting my hand over my heart…” tu to gaya Hussain!”

MANNAT’S POV

I saw Shehry and the rest of the family in the drawing, Shehry looked at me and hurriedly got up.

“hey! Hi… Mannat! How are you” He asked and I smiled.

“Am fine…. Congratulations” I said and he smiled back.

“Assalam o alikum” Shehry got aside and I greeted everyone, they smiled and greeted back.

“Mannat! Beta ub kesi ho?” Asif uncle asked while Aunty started giving my intro to Minal’s parents and telling them about the accident and all. her parents also showed their sympathies with me and I smiled back at them

“Am fine uncle, thanks” I replied and Shehry gestured me to sat with Minal, while he stepped out of the room.

“Hi!.... congratulations” me and Minal shook hands and she smiled warmly towards me, she was really pretty and was looking wow in that pink attire, simple yet elegant.

“Have heard a lot about you from Shehry” She said and I smiled back.

“Yeah! same here…” I winked at her and she chuckled, blushing.

We kept on talking and I found her as a very sweet girl… though she was  a bit serious in her nature but yup! Opposite attracts. So definitely they are going to compliment each other’s personalities in life.

Finally it was time for the ring ceremony and we got up and headed towards the hall, they have done amazing arrangements.. I could see their efforts, the hall was decorated so beautifully with lights and fresh flowers. Shehry and Minal stood there in front of the sofa and the family members gathered around them , I stood there at a distance watching them… they looked so cute together and Minal was constantly blushing on every body’s remarks.

“Shehry beta!....” Aunty handed Shehry the small red valvet box and he took out the ring from that. He extended his left hand and Minal slowly put her hand in his …. “you honour, ijazat hai phir?” Shehry asked looking at Minal and she chuckled trying hard not to blush and Waqas and Hussain whistled loudly. Hussain was standing right next to Shehry.

“pehna bhi de yarrr” Hussain said loudly and Shehry laughed.

He swiftly pushed the ring in her finger and we all clapped….. it was Minal’s turn she took the ring from  her mother’s hand and Shehry extened his hand towards her, she took his hand in her’s and made him wear the ring.

“Mubarkan… bhadaiyan … patakey” Atif and Waqas shouted out and Minal laughed. I saw the families congratulating each other and the aunties both hugging in happiness… ahhh! Mama! Suddenly her face came in my mind and I felt sad… its been more then 2 years and I didn’t meet her, I so wanted to feel her warmth right now…..

“Oye! Kia hoya?” I heard Waqas bhai and looked up at him, he was having his all time famous cute smile. I smiled back

“Nothing…..Mama yad aa gaeen” I said and he patted my head.

“Koi nai… you told me na that in this summer you are going to visit Pakistan?” he asked and I nodded.

“waqas bhai….wo… hussain” I tried to tell him about Hussain but I could find words.

“hmm kia hua? Ub kia kiya Hussain ne?” he chuckled and I smiled weakly shaking my head.

“Waqas bhai…. Hussain said, wo kuch kehna chahta hea mujhe” I looked at him and suddenly he smiled.

“to?.....”he asked and I rolled my eyes.

“Waqas bhaiii…. Don’t you get it? wo KUCH kehna chahta hea mujhe” I tried to emphasis so that he understand what Hussain is up to and Waqas chuckled.

“hmmm I understand” he said and I looked down.

“I don’t want to break his heart” I said and he pulled up my chin.

“then don’t break it” he said looking into my eyes and I went speechless, he winked at me and left me standing there all speechless and even more worried now.

Sai to eh rae hen Waqas bhai, agar nai torna chahti dil to mat toro…..mager!. ufff Khudaya! I turned and bumped into him… my heals went all tripsy and I was almost falling down, embarrassing myself when he snaked his arm under my waist, pulling me into himself.

“why the hell you go all tripsy?… in front of me” the last part he asked with a smirk and I looked away from his intense gaze…. “am sorry”

“don’t be… am not” he whispered and I felt like melting in his arms. I took a step back and tried hard to maintain my balance.

“I am not used to of these high heals…. Seleena made me wear them” I tried to hide my embarrassment and he chuckled.

“but you look good in them…..” he said casually, without even having a slightest idea that his casuall remarks can give me cardiac arrest.

“Arey Mannat ko bhi khilao bhai……” I heard Uncle’s voice and we both turned to look, Aunty had a gulab jamun in her hand.

“yeah! definitely….. Mannat beta come” She addressed me and I slowly headed towards her.

“Ye lo!....” she raised her hand towards my mouth and I took a bite….

“Bus ub we will hear a good news from your side soon…” she said casually and my eyes got widened and face all heat up, while the rest chuckled. I smiled lightly without understanding what she meant, but I couldn’t dare to ask. They headed towards the drawing room and I looked around to find a tissue…. When suddenly saw a handkerchief in front of my face, I looked at the back and found him smirking at me holding it in his hand, I slowly raised my hand to take when  he suddenly backed off his hand.

“What???” I looked at him and he raised his hand, holding the handkerchief in it he slowly rubbed the sweet near my lower lip and I looked down at his hand.

“Kehte hen… jo dulhan ki jhooti mithai khata hea, uski shadi buhat jaldi ho jati hea” he whispered, still looking at my lips and I shuddered…. Oh! So that’s why aunty made me eat that.

I looked at his face, he looked up to meet my gaze… we kept on looking into eachothers eyes when suddenly the music started and I heard noises… Waqas and Shehry and Atif.

“I think we should go….. they must be missing you there” I said casually trying to sound all cool and took a step when suddenly he caught my wrist and I halted in my tracks.

He slowly walked past me, still holding my wrist and pulling me at his back….. he silently kept on walking, where was he taking me? Finally we came in front of a room and he pulled me inside, leaving my wrist he turned and shut the door… my heartbeat stopped and my palms sweating.

“what.. what are you doing?” I know I sounded like I was about to faint. He turned and looked at me, his expressions unreadable…. Eyes fixed on mine. He slowly came closer to me and I couldn’t even step back, I was frozen in my place.

He raised his hand in front of my face and my eyes went all wide, I touched my ear.. one jhumki was gone. He was holding it with a cute smile on his face. he slowly took another step towards me and I looked at his face I knew what was he up to…. He slowly raised his hand and tucked my hair at the back of my ear…. Making my skin burn with his touch, he held the earring close to my earlobe and swiftly slided it in the hole…., he kept his hands there and I thought before it is too late I should stop him, should tell him everything.

“Mannat!... mein..” he tried to find words, looking down he slowly touched my hands. I shivered at his touch, he held my hand in his and my breath hitched up.

“am sorry” he said still looking down, circling his thumbs over my knuckles, giving me shivers making me crazy.

“am sorry for being such a jer with you… always!

“that’s okay…..Hussain I want to…

“Sshh, let me finish Mannat!” I tried to say but he suddenly looked up and putting his index finger over my lips he hushed me up, my lips trembling under his touch.

“I acted like a pervert in that hotel room, back in Pakistan…..” he started saying, rubbing his thumb over my lower lip, my breath got heavier and heavier.

“I again acted like a real jerk when we had that accident, though you got hurt but I was such a pervert…. Scolded you and acted like an asshole” he said and again held my hands in his. He looked too serious and with every word he was uttering my tension was increasing.

“I don’t know why Mannat! We always met in disasters….” He chucled lightly still looking at our hands…. “ I don’t know why I couldn’t understand this before… my own feelings were alien to me” he added.

“and I always put you in some kind of danger… meri waja se you got stuck up in that basement…” Hussain took a step towards me making me take a step back…. “meri waja se you had to suffer that accident..” he took another step closer, still holding my hand and I felt like I would fall back when my back touched the wall…. “meri waja se you… you suffered that pain” his eyes shifted to my neck, because of my deep neckline the bruise on the side of my neck was visible.

He touched that bruise…. It was a mark now but his touch made it burn, I closed my eyes and suddenly I felt something tickling and I opened my eyes, his hair were tickling my jawline while his lips were almost over my neck….

“Hu… Hussin!” I tried to stop him and he looked up at my face…. “sab dhoond rae hon ge humen” I said and he looked into my eyes.

“dhoonde do…..” he whispered and tilted his head a bit, my breath hitched in my throat. No! please Hussain ruk jao… this should not be happening. I closed my eyes and fisted my hands when I felt his warm breath near my cheek then right over my ear….. I felt something slipped in my finger, a ring! “ I am in love with you Mannat” his whisper burnt my ear and heart as well… I opened my eyes in utter shock, his lips touching my earlobe, his hands holding mine. I stood there unable to come back in my senses, unable to reply him.

“Hus… Hussain!” he moved his head and looked into my eyes, they pooled up. I looked down to my hand, there was an elegant ring in my ring finger. Tears came rolling over my cheeks.

“I love you” he whispered again and I looked up at his face, I so wanted to say it back Hussain! but I cant.

“hey!....Mannat!” he looked me in concern and held my face in his palms rubbing the tears with his thumbs.

“am… am sorry Hussain!” I tried to say something when he suddenly pulled me into him and held me tight to his body, I fisted his coat and cried… I knew it was wrong, but I just couldn’t repel.

“heyyy! Shhh… Mannat! Calm down, whats wrong?” I pulled back and he bent down looking into my eyes.

“I … I can’t love you Hussain!” I finally able to say and he looked blankly into my eyes, unable to get anything.

“I am committed Hussain” I said and suddenly his hands almost fell down from my face and he took a step back at once.

HUSSAIN’S POV

“I am committed Hussain” she said with tears in her eyes and for a second I couldn’t believe my own ears. I too a step back.

“you are.. you are kiddling, right?” I said still in shock and she shook her head.

“Hussain this is… this is what I wanted to tell you all this time” She said, her expressions not at all funny, she wasn’t joking. What?

“Mannat… you are not serious, okay?” I said taking a step closer to her and holding her shoulders, I lightly jerked her.

“Nai Hussain…. am not joking, I am committed” She said looking away and I felt like… like slapping her face even if it was joke, mazak samjha hea is ne sab kuch!

“you are committed?  So you don’t love me?” I asked in disbelief and she shook her head. I couldn’t believe her.

“I wanted to tell you Hussain…. but

“but what?.... but you thought koi bat nai pagal ban raha hea, to pagal banae jao, right?” I was in utter shock she could do that to me.

“nai Hussain… I never knew this that you will fall for me” She said worried, or maybe acting to look worried…. “ you always disliked me, mein ne socha bhi nai tha k tum…..tum mujh se piyar kerne lago ge” she added and I looked away.

“if you don’t love me… what was all that, I felt? That I saw in your eyes for me, those feelings that care and concern… all that was bullshit? All was just acting? Kia tha wo Mannat?” I took a step towards her and she shivered, fear evident on her face. why was she doing it with me, I still couldnr believe she said all that.

“I do care for you Hussain! but ub tak… ub tak it was all about me and my feelings I didn’t know that you will….” She stopped in the middle and her breath hitched up… “mein ne nai socha tha k tum…

“han tum ne socha bhi nai tha k mein tum jesi lerki se piyar ker bethoon ga, yeah you are right. You are right Mannat! Mujhe tum jesi lerki se kese piyar ho sakta hea……” I spatted, rage was increasing inside me and I was about to explode.

“muj jesi?” she uttered blankly.

“tum jesi…. Characterless lerki….

“Hussain…. damagh kharab ho gaya hea tera” right when I said, Waqas bursted into the room and jerked me towards him self.

WAQAS’S POV

“No you stay here Shehry!… mein bulata hoon unhen” I got up from the couch and headed out of the room, kahan chale gaye hen dono… laila majnoon yar!bhaag bhoog to nai gaye.

I checked in our room but nobody was there, I headed towards Hussain’s room and my feet halted in my track, I could hear noises… Hussain was raged up over something. Shitttt! This is not good.

“han tum ne socha bhi nai tha k mein tum jesi lerki se piyar ker bethoon ga, yeah you are right. You are right Mannat! Mujhe tum jesi lerki se kese piyar ho sakta hea……” I heard Hussain spatting and I slowly turned the knob… his back was towards me and Mannat was trapped between him and the wall.

 “muj jesi?” I heard Mannat uttered blankly.

“han tum jesi….tum jesi Characterless lerki….” Hussain spatted back and I couldn’t believe he just said that. I stepped in the room before it was too late. And jerked him, grabbing his arm.

“Hussain! …. Damagh kharab ho gaya hea tera”I glared at him, his eyes were red with rage, his nerves swelled up.

“han damagh kharab ho gaya hea mera!... characterless he hoti hen wo lerkiya jin k rishte te hue hote hen, or phir bhi doosre larkon k sath chaker chala rai hoti hen” Hussain snapped angrily and I heard Mannat’s breath hitched up, tears rolling down on her cheeks.

“Hussain enough! Buhat ho gaya… aram se bat sun uski pehle” I tried to calm him down but he jerked his arm off my grip and turned to look at her.

“jitna sunna tha sun liya… I have enough” he glared at her with firey eyes.

“Hussain please.. let me…..

“NO!... just don’t take my name…. get out! Get out from my room, get out from my life!” Hussain shouted raising his hand when I hurriedly grabbed it from the back I could see fear on Mannat’s face.

“Hussain calm down, what the hell are you up to man… we have guests out there” I said looking into his eyes, I could see pain in them.

“I didn’t want to break your heart Hussain… I..

“but you did Mannat!... you did” Hussain cut her in the middle and said slowly, looking down.oh God! I so wish I could do something for both of them…..

“Mannat!... tum

“Mujhe chalna chaiye Waqas bhai…. am sorry for all this” Mannat cut me up and saying this she hurried towards the door and left the room. Hussain kept on standing there looking down, he looked broken as if he has lost everything. I put my hand over his shoulder but he slipped away and stepped out of the room.

MANNAT’S POV

I cried as loud as I could once I stepped into my car….. I was driving too fast I seriously didn’t care if I would face an accident or anything, it felt as if my life… my happiness was over. Bus, sab khatam ho gaya tha aj. Wo phir se nafrat kerne laga tha muj se. and it was all because of me… it was all my fault, I was hating myself. Q? q nai bataya tum ne waqt per usey? Q hone diya ye sab Mannat! Ub ro… ro because tears are written in your fate. This is what you deserve Mannat Salaar, tears and pain and hatred! Hussain’s hatred!... I rubbed my cheeks, tears were scrolling down my face, where just a time ago his warmth was, I broke his heart… his trust everything. Why? Why did I do that?

Suddenly my eyes shifted to my hand clutching the steering tightly, that ring….. I looked closely at the ring, Hussain slipped into my finger and my heart broke into many pieces. He proposed me? He did! And what I did with him…. oh! I felt like dying, like killing myself.

HUSSAIN’S POV

I stepped into the bathroom and closed the door at my back…. I wanted to cry, to empty myself. How could she do this to me? Mein ne kia socha tha or kia ho gaya, how could I fall for such girl who has no self esteem no respect for relations in life. I was hating her but I was hating myself even more for falling in love with her.

I wish… I wish I could earase thoes feelings thoes past few days from my life, ye yaden.. ye feelings … ye jeene nai den gi mujhe.

Guys! I know many of you would love to meet me right now and push me from the top of my house :D but seriously I myself felt really bad writing this heartbreaking part, but I swear I had to L
