Muskan(ex of Ayushmaan)
**********************
Ayushmaan

As soon as I asked,"you?"When she looked at me, I began to move on, wondering why she was here of all places and after all these years.

She stood there in shock, perhaps because she assumed I would not be here, or perhaps because she was grieving, or for some other reason. Why was she here at all after everything that had happened?

Muskan was at the door, my ex.

"Am I not even permitted to enter?"She asked in a pleading tone and with hopeful eyes.

I told her, "Yeah, come in," still not believing that she had arrived and wondering why she had come.

"What are you doing here, Muskan?" I had been wondering this ever since I saw her here, and we were now seated across from one another at a comfortable and sufficient distance.

"Can we have lunch?"She was fidgeting with her fingers and looking down, never meeting my eyes, so she asked in the hopes that I would say no.

"Yeah but..."I know you have a lot of questions, and I will answer them all, she said, interrupting me before I could finish.

She was the girl I loved, and she was aware of my tendency to skip lunch. She broke my heart to pieces when I proposed to her, which is why I felt uncomfortable whenever the subject of the wedding came up because it hurt so much.

And now, after all these years, what did she want?

When we finished our lunch, she noticed that I had not eaten much and wanted to ask me to eat more, but she refrained, which I greatly appreciated.

"So can we start?"I asked her because I wanted to end our conversation quickly and move on.
**********
Muskan:Sorry Ayushmaan for everything I know I don't even deserve forgiveness but please listen to me once.

"Continue,"I told her I din't even want to hear whatever she wanted to say I was over it now but I know she must be feeling guilty.

Listen to both sides of story then decide with calm mind.

Muskan:Sorry I was not brave enough to fight for our love.
I realized how much I missed you when it was too late, I knew I hurted you when I din't show up at wedding venue on  our wedding day.

My parents were masterminds behind all these and me their pawn though it was all about revenge.

I just raised my eyebrows not believing her crap, why did they want revenge from me?

"Revenge?"I asked her till confused and took a sip of orange juice my favourite and gave her glass of water and she continued

"They wanted me to travel with them later on our weding day and leave you alone with thousands of people and journalists."

"You agreed just like that?" I asked her again just curious I am at moment I guess.

She looked away and started again:
"When we had already reached newyork that's when I got to know all their planning I heard them without them knowing and since then I decided to look for you to ask forgiveness for I was coward to not fight for our love but it was too late I had hurted you way too much as actions speak louder han words and I felt guilty everyday, I prayed to Allah to give you more happiness and you were better without me but I looked for you since the guilt was eating me everysingle day."

She was crying when she stopped, but there was nothing I could do but pray for her because it is too late. "It was their plan to destroy you because they had enmity with your father. It was all their plan when they agreed to our engagement and wedding venue. They knew you were grieving, so they also knew you were broken. How crazy of them that after your parents left this world, they thought of the plan to be in action and they filled my brain with countless stories so they told me to act and betray you. I agreed, but my feelings were not fake, they were real."But trust me, after I learned the truth, I regretted every day.

I wanted my parents to succeed, so I supported them and never showed up because I was blinded by their love and believed everything they said.
I apologize for all the embarrassment in front of everyone, Ayushmaan. My worst error was abandoning you.

I want to ask you one last time before I leave your life because I know I will not find someone better than you.

"Are you ever going to forgive me?"

I believed that even though we loved and planned together, Allah might have had better plans for us and we learned our lessons from his tests.

I remebered Sabiha's words and told her.

As someone once said, "Forgive and forget, never keep it in your heart." I agree with that, and I hope you find your true love soon, insha'Allah.

"Are you sure?"Serves her right; she was simply too shocked to think her ears might be.

After I made two finger clicks, she eventually returned from her fantasy world.

She then asked me the question I had been anticipating. It was crazy of me, to be sure, but I knew she would ask because she must have noticed changes in me.

Conversations
Muskan:"So found someone?"
I can see some change.

"Mhhhh yeah, I told her with smile on my lips.

Muskan:Well can't wait to see her.

Sabiha does not know much about her, but she does know a lot about my life, so I told her, "There is no way you will not meet her."

Muskan:Please I want to know who has won your heart and changed you so much?
"First of all are we friends?,"She asked me with hope in her voice

"Yeah sure and her name is Sabiha you will just love her," I told her with confidence.

"How about you Muskan?have you found someone?"

Muskan:"mhhhh no."

She looked away I think something was up if she was not willing to tell me then fine because we used to be close I was so glad finally she spoke.

Muskan:No one, I don't wanna do relationships because of many reasons, Ayushmaan you won't believe but after we went to Newyork everysingle day my parents used to fight, yelling, cursing I just lost faith we never used to be happy family.

I tried alot but was always pushed away then I went at park there I saw a glimpse of someone he was staring at me I don't know what happened but I just looked away and when I looked at him again I never saw him but it's good because if he will enter my life he will only be hurt.

Hey, Muskan now you are being like me the way I used to be.
"I think Zaid's mysterious girl was her? The way he told us?" I thought

Muskan:"Yeah can't help it."

"Are you still hiding something from me?"I took another sip the juice was cold just the way I love it and I knee something was up with her.

Muskan:Well no I am not hiding.

I sighed in relief ...wait a second!I thought.

She said at park crying and got a glimpse of guy...ya Allah, you surely plan in best way.

She was talking about........he will be so happy to hear good news, twist in story...so she was the girl he saw at park...world is small and with a smile on my face I decided to drop her at her house as she directed me and went off back.
