4. Scared.
Dua's POV,
Momin..." He slammed the door as we enter.
"What the hell was that!?" He shouted. I flinched. He never shouted like this.
"Momin i.."
"Dua, you are not serious, are you?" He asked with anger visible in his eyes. I bite my lips.
"I'm serious"
"Dua...."
"Listen momin. First, listen to me. You remember I told you a few months ago that I want to graduate from the same college as Papa?"
"I thought you were kidding" he utters in hurt. My heart clenched. I walk closer to him and held his hands
"Momin... This is my dream and I need your support please...."
"No dua!" He moves back. "I won't let you go," he said in determination.
"I won't let anyone break my dreams" my voice also held the same determination.
"Am I not your dream?" He asked. His eyes look hurt.
"Momin you can't emotional blackmailed me" I looked away.
"Do you have any idea, what you're talking about?" He gripped my both arms and pulled me closer. "You are saying you want to leave me for four freaking years!" He yelled through his gritted teeth.
"Momin Its just four years. We will talk on the phone every day. You can even come to the US whenever you want" I tried to convince him but he shook his head and left my arms.
"You think it will be that easy! America is too far Dua. Too far. I didn't even let you go to school or college alone in all those years. Do you think I would let you go to America? No! Never!" He declared as if he was the one who could decide everything for me. Anger raise in me. I could never tolerate anyone giving me orders.
"You can't stop me. And this is my life, I will do whatever I want" I said glaring at him.
"Dua please don't be stubborn" his eyes soften. He knew when I was angry and being stubborn then I would do anything. "I can't live away from you" his eyes moisten causing my eyes too moist as well. I hugged him. He hugged me back instantly.
"I'm sorry momin. But please try to understand. This is my dream. I always dream to graduate from papa's college while maham from mama's. This was always decided" I lifted my head to see him but didn't break the hug. "Momin... I need your support. Please for me. For my happiness let me go to fulfil my dream. Going to the US is my dream" I pleaded with tear-filled eyes. He cupped my face with one hand while his other arms still wrapped around me.
"What about us Dua? What about me? How will I live here without you? I never live away from you even for a day and you're saying you want to go away from me for four years"
"After I come back I will be all yours. I will do anything that you will say. Just for once listen to me. Just for once agree with me" I implore. a tear escapes my eyes. He wipes it kissing my forehead.
"You know I can't deny you" with a smile I hugged him.
I know you can't

Momin' POV
The thought of her leaving me making me restless. Something in me telling me that it's wrong. My innocent Dua could be destroyed by the world away from me and her family.
"Fine" Finally Hana aunty agreed. I close my eyes to hold back my tear.
Dua begged me to convince Hana aunt as I was the only one after Rumaan uncle whose Hana aunt listen. After trying for 3 days she finally agreed. I told auntie that it was her happiness if we stop her she will never forgive us. I convinced her that Riya Auntie will be there to take care of Dua.
Only if I knew where Dua was going.
"But momin still I have a feeling it's not good for Dua. She is dumb. She thinks she could survive there but I know she can't" Hana aunt said in a worried tone.
"I tried to convince her but she...." I trailed off.
"I know how stubborn she is" Hana aunt shake her head and walk away.
"And I want to fulfil every demand of her" I mumble. Dua was my love and I didn't want to change her not even her stubbornness. I wanted to fulfil her dreams, I wanted to make her happy.....
But little did I know this was the first step of mine which was leading us to our destruction.

Dua's POV
"What are you doing?" Maham asked coming toward the bed seeing me doing something in laptop.
"I apply for my admission. I just hope I get approval " I prayed with a smiling face.
"You will get approval soon. I'll pray for you" Maham said with a bright smile on her face. My sister was so happy for me.
"Thank you for supporting me Maham. If you weren't here to encourage me from the beginning then I could never think about going this far from all of you" I hugged her happily.
I was happy. I was so happy. I knew if I convince momin then he will handle everything. He finally convinced mama. though papa was hesitant at first then he also agreed. It was all because of momin, my love.
"I should tell momin," I said and ran outside.
"Momin, you know, I apply for the college?" I said excitedly when I came to his room. He was doing some work on the coffee table with few documents and laptop. He glances at me and then again looks down at the laptop.
"Momin" I called him and sat beside him. He ignores me and I felt sting pain. I could never bear his ignorance. It kills me.
"Momin" I again called but this time in anger.
"I'm busy dua" he replied without looking at me. I slammed his laptop shut in anger. He snaps his head to me.
"Don't you dare ignore me"
"I also have dreams Dua. Like you have" he raised his voice not too loudly but enough to stang me and bring tears in my eyes. He snaps at me
"Okay" My voice cracked due to lump in my throat and I stood up to go. I was at the door when he held my wrist to stop me.
"Dua" I didn't turn. My tear escape but I wipe it pressing my lips. He turns me and cupped my jaw with his one hand while holding my wrist with others. "I'm sorry" He whispers lifting my face to look him. When I didn't respond and stared at him with my still watery eyes he sighed.
"I'm scared. I'm scared, Dua. I'm scared to let you go. I'm scared to lose you. I'm scared if someone takes you away from me. I only have one thing in my life and it's you. I only love someone from dept of my heart and that's you. You are my everything Dua. You don't know this world is too cruel for us. For them who love each other more than anything. You know na, my Abbu (father) also loved Ammi (mother) before marriage and when he told my grandparents they rejected my Ammi because she was orphan. My Ammi Abbu almost ripped apart because of this cruel world but Abbu left his family before they could create more damaged" Momin pour his heart out. I know about his parents and that thing makes his pain even worst. He felt someone will steal me from him cause he was orphan. But how I make him believe that I will leave this world if anyone tried to snatch him from me.
"Before losing you momin I would love to die" I uttered looking straight into his eyes.
"You will never lose me. I will always be with you and always be your side. Because Momin is nothing without his Dua..."
"...And there is no Dua without her Momin" I continued. We smiled before he pressed his lips on my forehead.
"Tu wo adat hai Jo mere dil se judi hai.
Wo dua hai Jo mere har waqt ne ki hai
Wo ishq hai Jo mere ruh se bani hai"
(You're the habit that connects to my heart. The Dua (prayer /Supplication) that perform my every passing second. The love that I create from my soul)
He mumbled with a smile on his face. "Wah mere shayer (my poet)" I grin squeezing his cheeks.
We sat on the couch again and this time holding each other's hands. I told him I applied for admission and gave he me his charming encouragement smile saying I will get approval. I felt my heart flattered. I unconsciously put my hand on his cheeks and leaned closer to his face. He was also staring at me with the same passion and longing. I continue to close our distance but momin held my shoulder. And shake his head with helplessness.
"God! Momin" I hit him on his chest and sit straight. "One kiss won't hurt" as usual I mumble these words but I know it won't break his decision. I look away hiding the hurt which always causes in my heart when he rejects me. Though it was not his rejection it's just he didn't want both of us to do any sin. His love was too great to tainted our love.
"Look at me" he held my chin and make me look at him. I always get offended when he rejects me. "Never. I can never reject you. You don't know what you meant to me, Dua. Your love is pure, mine love is pure. I don't want to taint our pure relationship." He stated I lowered my eyes in embarrassment. "Hey, don't look down. I want your head high" he again lifted my chin. He smile making me smile too "can't you see how much I desire you?" Momin asked I felt my heart jumping and stomach growling. His intense gaze makes my insides churn. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath "But we have to wait till our nikkah I know its painful but we have to" he said and I again lowered my head but this time blushing. "Is my Dua blushing" I heard his mischief voice. My head snaps toward him.
"Wh..what? Uh... I'm not the type of blusher okay?"
"Of course you are not," he said smirking. I got up from the couch and ran my finger in my open hair looking at him confidently.
"I have lots of things to do momin. First, I need to tell mama papa that I apply for the admission" I said and hurriedly walk out of the room but not before hearing his chuckle.
Sometimes I try to get closer to momin cause I love him so much and I want him for me, that I couldn't control myself But I know he will never let me to anything wrong. I know he also wants me, if it possible then, even more, the way I want him but he was holding himself back for me. Boys never miss the chance to have their way with girls and when she was willing to give in then there is no way a girl could set herself free from him. But my momin proved it that not every man be like that. When a man truly loves a woman he chose the right path to have his love and that's nikah (marriage) and that's what momin says before our nikah we need to keep our relationship pure and that's the most attractive thing about him. And I love him even more for that. And maybe that's what the main reason I didn't hesitate to go closer to him cause I trust him that he would stop me from doing anything wrong.
*********
Its been 2 weeks I apply for admission. And guess what?
I got accepted. I was so happy. Everything was done. I will leave next month. Mama papa and my grandparents were little sad including Rafay though he didn't show it I know he also feeling sad that I was going away from all of them but maham was the only one who was happy more than anyone. She loves me so much. She went with me for shopping and even she brought me many things as a gift. I was so grateful to have her as my little sister.
On the other hand momin. He was hurt and frightened to let me go and I try many times and told him not to worry. Even though I know he won't stop worrying for me. I spent as much time as I could with him nowadays.
It was evening and momin must come back home. I walk toward momin's room but stopped as I heard the voice.
"I can't believe I succeed in this. I thought that you will stop her but as my sister was stubborn you couldn't momin. She is going to leave next month from our life and you will be only mine" my eyes widened and I almost tripped hearing my little sister's voice.
"When I came to know that dua wanted to graduate from America I did my best to make her decision strong. I know when dua decided something then no one can stop her. And now dua is going to fulfil her dream with the cost of losing you. We have to lose something to have something else. And dua is going to lose you at the cost of her dream and I will loss my sister's love and trust at the cost of having you" my body rooted in my place. Heart dropped to the stomach. Fear crawl in my skin.
Looking inside the room I saw Maham holding Momin's picture in her hand while looking at him with love-filled eyes. She kissed his photo frame and I felt like killing her that moment. She dares to think about him. She dares to think that she could have him. To hell, I will burn this whole world before letting Momin be someone else.
I was about marched toward her but stopped as I heard the door opening noise. Maham instantly put his photo frame on the nightstand and stood there with a smile on her face. Momin walks out while drying his hair with a towel. He has dressed in a white pants maroon t-shirt. He looks damn sexy. He always does but after a shower, he looks more handsome and hot. I was starting at him and almost forget that maham was there.
"Maham" momin's voice brought me back and I saw maham also starting at him with same love and passion. I fist my hands. "Maham? What are you doing here?" Momin asked maham look at him and clears her throat. Her face becomes red.
"Uh...I just came to give you this" she hurriedly said pointing toward the small coffee table where was placed a glass of milkshake.
"Oh thank you so much I needed this," he said smiling and walk toward the table. "You made this?" He asked as he takes the sip of the milkshake. Momin sat on the couch while maham sat on the other side of the couch.
"Yes. Do you like it?"
"It's delicious, thank you again"
"It's my pleasure" Maham replied with a smile.
I couldn't take that anymore and strode inside and sat close to momin. He looks at me with a frown. "Why didn't you come to meet me?" I asked controlling my rage.
"I was going to" he scoots a little away from me making my heart sink. It's not like the first time he scoots away from me if anyone was around us but today it makes my heart scared. Scared to lose him.
