"If I could have just one wish, I would wish to wake up everyday to the sound of your breath on my neck, the warmth of your lips on my cheek, the touch of your fingers on my skin, and the feel of your heart beating with mine... Knowing that I could never find that feeling with anyone other than you." ― Courtney Kuchta.

Tani's POV

We reached cafe but there was no one, I panicked thinking about the yesterday's incident, I asked Sami,

"You told me that they'd be waiting for us in the cafe, now where they all gone?"

"Wait ! Tani, let me call, don't worry. They would be surely here, let me---wait." He said while dialing number on his cell and then pressing his phone to his ear. Then I heard him saying,

"Hello, Yeah, Hamza, where are you man ? She is being worried. Yeah?" Then he paused while hamza was saying something to him from the other line, then he again started, 

"Ohh okay, which floor ? Okay, done ! we are coming in a while, just be there." He hung up.

"They are on the second floor, girls are stuck on some clothing store there." He told me while we started walking towards the lift. 

When we reached there on the 2nd floor, we easily found that clothing store and then we entered in there. Right on the entrance, there was a dress, a wedding dress, my eyes stuck on that dress in the showcase, wore by the dummy, a beautiful long maxy type dress of English red colour mixed with dark green and golden, very beautifully embroidered with gold thread, with sufficed beadwork on the front and back down. 

I was just stuck there looking at that dress. I started dreaming or imagining myself in that dress, that was actually the dress of my choice, my taste. I started thinking about my wedding but I didn't see my wedding day or 'my groom'. Who would be my groom ? Will Rezay marry me in the future ? Will he love me, like I do. Will he ever consider me to be his wife ? I again started overthinking things, I felt my mind would get burst any moment. I dropped my gaze from that dress to the floor and I was still standing there infront of that dress but I didn't know what to do, what to say? I was feeling hurt, so much hurt, then I decided that I won't marry to anyone, except him. When he would feel that he loves me, I will wait for that time, I will wait for him. 

I was lost in my thoughts when Sami jerked my hand slightly, I didn't even realize that he was holding my hand,

"Back to earth Tani." He told me and I gave him a frustrated look then suddenly I felt something, I felt like someone was there where I am, I felt like Rezay was there. it was a weird feeling, but I was feeling him there, although I have never met him but still I can feel him. How's that possible?

'Why would he come Tani?', My subconsciousness started glaring at me. I tried to jerked those thoughts away but I just couldn't. 'I should atleast check.', I told myself then I quickly started drifting my eyes from one place to another and at some far place I saw someone, although it was so far because it was a big round shaped mall, so between me and that place there was a huge space, the place where I was standing was like a gallery to me from where we could see the ground floor but I could still see him, despite of the distance between us, I could see him, he was continuously looking at me like he was lost. I didn't recognize him on the first-hand but when I realized that who he was my eyes got wide like saucers, that same curly black hairs, black big deep beautiful eyes, tall, handsome, with cute masculine features, he was wearing dark red t-shirt with blue jeans, his red t-shirt clung to his body showing his full large chest, his breathing was uneven, his chest was moving up and down like he was running before, then I lost him, I lost him, I don't know where he went but now he was not standing there, infact there was no one.

'Am I dreaming ?', I asked myself. When realization hit me, I panicked,

"No, no, he was there, yes he was there." I said out loud that Sami asked,

"Who? Where? What are you saying Tani?" He asked confused but I left him behind me and quickly went there, my breath got stuck in my chest cause of thinking about him, thinking about the fact that he was here, I was literally running to reach the other side. When I reached the other side, where he was standing before but now no one was there except other people who were walking here and there for shopping. I got worried, I quickly checked the whole floor, the side where I was standing and the other one, then every store, I did my best to find him but I couldn't, I kept saying myself that he was here but maybe he hid somewhere, he didn't wanna show me that he came here for me, I quickly took out my phone and started typing,

"You are here? I know you are here, I am in---in---" I was so worried that I even forgot the name of the mall where we were then I quickly typed again, "in Wafi Mall, you are here, aren't you ?" Then I was lost in confusion that either I should send him this text or not. I grabbed my head thinking about it, I was just not getting it, I was thinking, 'what to do ?' Then I again typed same text and again erased it, again typed, again deleted. How should I ask him ? I am afraid, if he'd again insult me, I couldn't handle more, I would surely die, I was thinking when Sami grabbed me from my shoulder and asked me what happened? I told him,

"Sami, he was here. I saw him. He was in Red t-shirt and--" I cut off by Sami

"He can't be here Tani, listen to me, let's go. You are just wasting your and everyone's time." He said politely.

"No, he was here, I know that, I felt him and I know he is still here, he is just hiding somewhere, I know him."

I again left him behind and started searching the whole floor again, I again checked the whole floor, every store, I looked for him everywhere, but he was nowhere to be found. I get tired, I lost hope then suddenly someone grabbed my hand,

"Tani, just let's go, he is not worthy of you, he don't deserve your love, your care, your worry, nothing. he deserves nothing but just hate, ignorance and negligence." He was so angry, i don't know why but he was. Then he grabbed my hand and started dragging me behind him.

"But----", he cut me off, 

"No Tani." he said, 

"Listen--"

"I said no." He turned and said almost shouted at me with anger. "Just leave him." I shuddered that moment. I was shocked seeing him so much angry, then I said nothing, I just silently went with him wherever he was taking me.

When we reached at the same clothing store, Hamza came to us and his gaze fell to our hands, Sami was holding my hand as if I would run away. Then maybe he realized his gaze cause he immediately left my hand.

"Where had you both gone again?" Hamza asked looking at us.

"Nothing, she was stuck on other clothing store so I stayed there with her." Sami quickly informed him. But he was still looking at us skeptically.

"Okay, but Tani--- you are giving me some other sign, why you are panting and what happened to your face, you look so pale." 

"No, no nothing, I was just not feeling well." I quickly said smiling.

"If you are not feeling well then we can go back to home, we will watch movie some other day." He said and quickly went towards girls.

"No, no, wait Hamza. I am fine and I will be fine, really." I assured him.

"But---" 

"No, Hamza, I am fine." I told him by showing my best smile although I was broken and hurt from inside, I was still thinking about him that if he was here, then why did he hide himself from me, why did he left me like this. I snapped out from my thoughts at Hamza's voice.

"Okay, then let's go for a movie." Hamza said excited and I smiled.

Then we went for a movie, after movie, it was night time already then we went for dinner and again back to home, I told Sami mommy's message and he was really happy about staying another day at my home. After reaching home, Sami gave shopping bags to girls from his car and when I got off his car, I heard him calling my name. I turned and saw Sami, he was holding Teddy in his hands. The same teddy that he and somy gifted me, I became happy, so happy. Then he came towards me, gave me my teddy and I was about to leave when he pulled me from my waist towards him, now my back was touching his front. I felt his breathing on my ear, I shivered, he told me by touching his lips to my ear,

"Remember, I'd never let you go." then he kissed my ear lobe, I shuddered at his touch. I quickly tried to go but he was holding me tight. I said,

"Sami, leave me, please. Its not right." I felt his body tensed but he didn't show me, I know he was angry but I don't love him, he is my friend, also he can't do these things to me, I am a muslim girl and he is my friend but not my husband he can't kiss me like that.

I felt him grabbing my hand and gave a light, sweet kiss on my hand then loosened his grip on me. I thanked him and quickly left him outside and went almost running to my room, I don't know what came to him, why he was acting like this but it was weird, totally weird. 

I entered in my room, I was so tired and it was again another worst day for me, that I just didn't wanna think about it more, so I just slept.

Sami's POV 

Tani was finding someone and I was just not feeling good, she tried to assure me but I just didn't listen to her and she didn't listen to me, she kept on finding him, looking for him everywhere, then I saw him running away from her, I saw him, he quickly got out from some store, took a lift and left, I know he was that guy, for whom Tani was acting like a crazy person. 

She told me he was in Red T-shirt, she was right, he was here, that fucking jerk was here, that bastard was here and he hid himself from her, I got angry, angrier, she was right and I do believe her, I do believe in every word of her. But what he was doing? and why he was doing this to her ? He was intentionally hurting her but she don't get it. She is not listening to me, he don't deserve her love and not anymore, I will try my best to make her mine, she is mine, that's how I love her, in a way that no one can. I quickly went towards her and angrily grabbed her and forced her to come with me. 

She was trying to say something but I just told her that 'he don't deserve her love.' I didn't tell her that she was right and he was here, cause I know if I told her, she will again go to him and I don't wanna lose her again. I will try my best to win her heart and I know I will. Otherwise, I will have to take another step to make her mine and I know she will not then refuse to marry me and now I have decided. I will not leave her alone any minute and won't let her go, never. 

When we were going back to our homes, Tani told me,

"Sami, I have a message for you from mommy."

"Yeah tell me?"

"She asked you can also stay here tonight, if you want." I smirked knowing that her family actually likes me. Wow ! Now, I just have to win her.

"I'd love to." I chuckled and she raised her eyebrows. 

I can't say, how beautful she looks, her eyes, her lips, her cuteness, she is so cute. I just can't deny that I love her from childhood, I just love her, no one else but just her and I will make her mine. I just have to change my behaviour towards her, I have to show some dominance to her so that I can control her. Her love rules me but not now, not anymore. Now she'd have to come to me.

On reaching Tani's home, I gave that cute teddy to her from my car and other shopping bags to other girls, she seems so happy when she saw her teddy, I bet she would surely forget it cause my car had stucked there that's why I returned her gift to her and I was really happy that I made her happy that's why I didn't ruin her happiness but I couldn't control myself from pulling her in my arms and kissing her. I can't control myself whenever I am close to her, she asked me to leave her so I loosen my hold on her cause I know that day was already bad for her so I just kissed her hand and let her go but only for now. 

'She is mine and she will be.'
