Saari duniya se jeet ke main aaya hoon idhar
Tere aage hi main haara kiya tune kya asar
Main dil ka raaz kehta hoon
Ke jab jab saansein leta hoon
Tera hi naam leta hoon
Yeh tune kya kiya

To say he was pissed was an understatement.

Fatima's cousin who also happened to be their college fellow, Zayaan had returned from London where he was currently pursuing medicine.

While Rohan and Asad had commerce as their subjects, Fatima, Mushk and Zayaan had chosen sciences as their major. The three had all same classes and would be together when Rohan and Asad would not be there back in college.

Zayaan had joined them late due to some professional commitments, he had flown down this morning after the mehndi.

And Mushk was with him from this morning.

Ignoring him.

Ajeeb koi importance hi nahi hai.
(I don't have any importance.)

He thought irritatedly.

Like right now they were talking for about hours continuously, smiling at each other so often.

Itni kya baatein hai Jo khatam hi nahi horahi hai.
(What are they talking about so much)

He thought frustrated.

Mere saath tu itna smile nahi karti
(She doesn't smile this much with me)

He looked on irritated by their laughter,

Bas bhi kardein
(They should stop now)

He looked at them angrily.

He stood up abruptly, announcing a little loudly, his eyes fixed on her.

"I have some work so I am leaving"

And Mushk just turned her head and waved him and again turned her towards Zayaan.

And he twisted his eyebrows at that.

No one stopped me even.

He thought grumpily.

And Asad smirked at Rohan's condition, the guy was clearly jealous.

Giving Rohan a loop sided grin Asad was laughing at his condition, yet he still refused he was not in love with Mushk.

What is love if not this?

Ignoring Asad he just stomped his feet slowly he left hurriedly while Mushk looked at him confused.

What happened to him?

Even at the office, his mind was jumbled with her thoughts only.

Since when did you start to corrupt my mind Mushk?

He questioned frustrated.

"What sir?" An unknown voice questioned him bringing him out of his daydreaming.

And he realised he was sitting in his office having a meeting.

Did I say it loudly?

He thought cursing him for his recklessness.

"Can we have this meeting later on I am not feeling well actually"

While the employees just nodded their heads in approval.

I should go home only.

He thought as he stood up to leave.

As he entered his home, he heard another series of noises.

Moving in the sighted a worried Zayaan quickly making Mushk drink water who was coughing badly.

And he rushed towards Mushk worriedly, patting her small back.

"What happened?"
He questioned as he made her drink water from the glass Zayaan was holding.

And instead of Mushk, Zayaan answered.

"Woh actually Mushk jaldi jaldi kha rahi thi Tu..." He justified as he eyed the chaat placed on the kitchen counter.
(Actually, Mushk was eating hurriedly so...)

"Allah Mushk kitni dafa kaha hai sukoon se khao par nahi. Tum sunti hi kidhr ho mujhe"
(Allah Mushk I have advised you so many times that eat slowly. But you never listen to me)

He had almost shouted. Even her small injury or worry made his heart tremble. He wanted to protect her from every discomfort, pain and misery. And he didn't know what he should name this feeling, even though his heart knew that something so surreal like this has always been love.

Mushk quickly drank the water her cough stopping. And looked at him with a cute pout, her puppy face would always melt his anger. And she loved that he was affected by her like this, what she didn't know was it ran way deeper than she thought it did.

"Tumhein pata hai I love to chaat and Zayaan brought it from my favourite shop. So I couldn't control." She looked at him sheepishly while confessing.
(You know I love to eat chaat and Zayaan brought it from my favourite shop and I could not control it.)

Here he comes again.
Rohan thought grumpily.

And Zayaan and Mushk repeated the day's happening to him which he was least interested to listen.

And he just kept nodding his head. Occasionally glaring at Zayaan who was being too close to Mushk.

The dinner was not a happy affair as well. Mushk had cooked all Zayaan's favourite dishes and Zayaan being him could not keep himself from praising the food every second.

Yaar iski butter ki dukaan hai kya itna makhan kon lagata hai?
(Does he owns a butter shop who butters someone this much)

He thought frustrated.

"Kya hwua Rohan tum kuch le nahi rahe. Itna acha banaya hai Mushk ne"
Zayaan said politely smirking at his form. He was so jealous his face gave that away. And Zayaan loved troubling him.
(What happened Rohan you aren't eating. Mushk has made so delicious food.)

Tumhari wajah se bhook mar gayi hai.
He wished he could tell him this instead he forced a smile replying,
(Because of you my hunger has finished)

"Nahi bhook nahi hai. Par haan waqai main khana buhat acha hai."
He smiled politely at her on the latter part of the sentence.
(No I am not hungry. But the food is very delicious)

The food was so delicious yet he could not even eat it because of that stupid guy.

Pushing away from the plate slightly he got up, moving upstairs.

While Mushk looked at him distracted by his behaviour.

What happened to him now?

Rohan was working on his laptop in the study when Mushk entered with a plate in her hand with food, the delicious aroma causing him to feel more hungry.

Kis ne kaha tha gusse main khana chorne ko?
(Who told you to leave food in anger)

His heart complained.

While Mushk kept the plate in front of him.

"Chalo jaldi jaldi khalo"
(Eat fast)

She said as she closed the laptop.

"Bhook nahi hai"
He lied arrogantly
(I am not hungry)

"ROHAN AHMED"
She shouted glaring at him.

"Mujh se jhoot mat bolo tumhari shakal se dekh Raha hai ke tum ko kitni bhook lagi hai"
(Don't lie to me your face says that how much hungry are you)

"Aisa nahi hai bhook nahi lagi hai"
Rohan said as he diverted his eyes from her.
(No nothing like this I am not hungry)

"Tum mujh se jhoot bolo ge ab"
Mushk said as she eyed him.
(Will you lie to me now)

While Rohan just stared at her, he could never lie to her, so he picked up the plate and started eating from it.

The food melting inside his mouth causing a burst of flavours for the taste buds. It was just amazing.

I was refusing this heaven for a prick like him.

He thought as he chewed another bite.

"Tum ko ho kya jata hai, your mood swings are worst than a pregnant lady I swear"
She complained as she sat beside him at the chair.
(What happens to you)

"Nothing office ki problem hai"

He whispered.

"Minal keh rahi thi bhai jealous hora he hain ki wajah se. Matlab tum jealous Kyun hoge ajeeb pata nahi sab kya sochte hain?"
(Minal was saying you are getting jealous because of Zayaan. Matlab why would be jealous? I don't know what everyone thinks)

She laughed as she told him. While he kept the now empty plate at the table as he turned towards her.

"Agar jealous ho Raha hoon tu?"
He asked seriously. Zayaan
(What if I am getting jealous)

"Ho rahe the kya?"
She asked raising her eyebrows.
(Were you getting jealous)

"Ho Raha tha tu?"
He asked as he moved towards her, reaching in front of her.
(What if I was)

She looked at him as she bends towards him. Her lips curving into a light smile.

"You don't need to be jealous, tumhein zaroorat hi nahi hai Jo tum mere liye ho woh Dunya mein koi nahi ho sakta. Mere pass tumhein chorne ka option kabhi nahi tha Rohan. Tumhare liye asaan hoga shayad kesi aur ko meri jagah choose Karna mere liye nahi hai."
(You don't need to be jealous, what you are to me no one in the world can be that. I don't have the option to leave you. It would be easy for you to choose someone else but for me it is impossible.)

She explained and he could swear he saw her eyes filling up, she was about to get up when two arms pulled her down bringing her close to him.

"Tum mere liye buhat khaas ho Mushk, kabhi yeh mat sochna ke main tumhein kesi keliye bhi chor sakta hoon yeh mere liye bhi option nahi Raha. This means life to me, like a simple breath iske illawa main kuch nahi hoon"
(You are very precious to me, don't ever think that I could leave you because this hasn't remained an option for me as well. This means life to me, like a simple breath I am nothing without this)

He said earnestly as he held her close. Their eyes clashing, their breaths mingling and their hearts beating loudly. Sometimes words can mean the world to somebody they make you, they awaken the life in you. It is just not the words but the purity of emotions that completes someone and these words were completing both of them.

When he bent down, joining their lips together.

Maybe time stopped when their lips met but the flutter in their hearts only intensified. Mushk's heart pounded loudly as her knees got shaky. But she cared less all she could care about was how his lips felt against her, how addictively he invaded all her senses like an addictive drug.

Like last time it was not a rushed kiss, rather it was slow, it was tender and it reflected love. She had dreamed of this moment her whole life, but she could exchange anything for this time.

Rohan sneaked a peek at her every time he came back for air, just to make sure this wasn't a product of his imagination

He wasn't sure if nature rooted for this or his mind tricked him into the perfect present but every time he breathes he could smell jasmine and he was sure from the time he had known himself it was the time that he felt at peace.

The warm feeling of her breath was so inviting that he draped his hands around Mushk's small frame and again met her lips halfway.

After few seconds he joined their heads together, their shallow breath was all they could hear.

The wedding was tomorrow, the nikkah had been done earlier so that the groom and bride could enjoy their wedding festivities as husband and wife, which Asad would proudly announce, every second.

From the morning they were all busy with preparations for tomorrow. It was going to be a huge day tomorrow so they were doing all the preparations Beforehand.

They were in Fatima's home, Fatima had been asked to sleep early because she needs to wake up early tomorrow. While Rohan and Asad had departed to receive some guests who were coming for the wedding.

While she was in the kitchen as Zayaan came from behind.

"Tumhara hero ajj jealous nahi hwua"
(Your hero was not jealous today)

He inquired about Rohan who was not giving any reaction to Zayaan, who was intentionally trying to make him jealous, but he was much calmer and secure than yesterday.

(Author: ab kiss ka kuch tu kamal hoga naa)

"Tum usse jaan bhoj ke jealous kar rahe the naa"
She said narrowing her eyes at him. Who laughed while sitting on the kitchen counter.
(You were making him jealous intentionally right)

"Uski shakal dekhne jaisi hoti hai jab koi tumhare 10-meter bhi qareeb hota hai."
He said chuckling recalling Rohan's face.
(You should see his face if someone is even 10 meters near you)

"Oye usko tang karne ka nahi hai"
She said as she threw the tissue at him. Who laughed catching it.
(You are not allowed to irritate him)

"Tum donon ki hamesha se hi ek team thi, ek ko kuch bolo tu doosra Khara hojata tha. Everyone in the college used to think you both were a couple and nobody could imagine Fariya..."
He looked at Mushk who's smile vanished as soon as Fariya was mentioned.
(You both were always a team if someone would target one if you the other would stand up in defence)

"Mushk does he know?"
He asked seriously while she averted her eyes.

"No" she replied blankly.

"Kyun Mushk? You have loved him for as long as anybody could remember. You have loved him since you knew what love was. And don't you dare say that he doesn't love you. Because I can bet he does as much as you love him."

And she snapped her head at his verdict.

"No, he isn't in love with me. There is no love between us. And yes I have loved him for a decade since I knew what love was, it was always him and it is always going to him. But he doesn't feel this way for me, it hurts, it hurts really bad but this is the truth I have accepted long ago. I have stopped wishing for his love a long time back. Mere liye kaafi hai he ke woh mera hai, mere pass hai. Woh usse se pyaar karta hai par uske pass nahi hai, mujh se nahi Karta par mera tu hai. Pyaar kahain buhat peeche reh Gaya hai."

(It is enough for me that he is mine and he is with me. He loves her yet he doesn't have her, it is better he doesn't love me or I wouldn't be here. Love has remained very far behind)

She explained to him, looking ahead in space as she sat down on a nearby chair.

While Zayaan looked at her turning her around.

"Stop lying that you don't want his love because the truth is very far from that. Everyone wants to be loved and you want his love, that is what you have wished every time. And don't you dare say he doesn't love you because he does. You should have seen his face when I was even a meter near you. You should see him jab tumhein kuch hojata hai koi Choti si chot bhi lag jati hai naa tumhein uski Jaan nikal jati hai. All that care, longing, jealousy and extreme possessiveness is nothing else but love."

(Yous should see him when you are hurt slightly he behaves as if ge has been hurt.)

Zayaan finished huffing at the end. While Mushk just turned around towards him with her eyes filled up.

"Usne ek Dafa Karli hai muhabbat Zayaan"
(He has done love one-time Zayaan)

While Zayaan just moved ahead as he bends towards her.

"Mushk kis ne kaha ke ek hi Dafa Hoti hai muhabbat. Every love is different because every person is, the love he has for Fariya is very different from the love he has for you. And it can not be compared because the things he associates with you is very different from what he had with Fariya. Allow him to love you because it is you who is bringing her in between both of you. Tell him because he deserves to know. Iss se Pehle ke buhat dair hojaye."

He whispered the last part his mind travelling back in past.

While Mushk looked at him sadly.

"Uski yaad ati hai."
She questioned.
(Do you remember her?)

"Yaad tu uski ati hai jisse bhool jaate hain Mushk woh dimagh se Kabhi jati hi nahi."
He answered back longingly.

(We remember someone who we have forgotten she never goes from my mind)

While Mushk looked at him sadly, why does love bring people pain? Why can't it be happily ever afters like they show in movies? Why can't love to be easy?
"Tell him Mushk, we always wait for the right time not knowing what we have today is right"
He encouraged her as he squeezed her hand in assurance.

He didn't want her to do something she would regret later, he didn't want his history to repeat itself.

Not knowing someone behind the door had heard their conversation.

And for that someone, things had changed entirely.

Phewww it is finally done. Mujh se bilkul likha hi nahu ja raha tha. And things have been going a lot lately which led to a very tough schedule.

Tu dil se apologizes for being super late.
