Abbiya POV.

I normalized my posture and facial expressions and knocked at the door and went inside.

"Asalam o Alaikum" I greet With a smile. I try my best to control myself.

"Wa'alaikum Asalam" They both replied in unison.

"What a pleasant surprise Minal" I said and I didn't let my smile fade away . Yes, a fake one. She smirked.

Kabhi kabhi muskurana bhi bohat zaroori ho jata ha....

"Han yar bas dil kiya Aqib ko tang karne ka to agyi....tum batao kaisi ho?" She said.

"Mein thik hn." I replied.

"Ajayein baith jayein" Aqib said and I sat on the sofa. I don't want to stay there but also I don't want to leave either.

"Ye lein Apki file Aqib, waisey daikhlein aik baar k yehi ha na" I gave him the file. He sat beside me.

"Han yehi ha. Thank you Aap le ayin. Mr Aliyaan ko aaj ye file dena bohat zaroori tha" he replied and opened that file.

"Abbiya waisey khiyal rakha karo Aqib ki har cheez ha, biwiyo'n ka farz hota ha." Minal said and sat down on Aqib's chair and my blood start boiling but I control myself and try to keep myself calm. What the hell she was doing on my Husband's seat.

"Wo already Meri har cheez ka bohat ziyada khiyal rakhti hn" Aqib said with a smile.

"Acha Aqib mein chalti hn" I said and stood up.

"Nahi ruk jayein thori dair, mein abhi free hn, Minal bhi ayi hui ha abhi kahi bahar chalte hn coffee peene " He hold my hand.

Mein is Minal k sath kahi bhi nahi jana chahti.

"Aqib Aaj nahi, Aaj bohat pending kaam hn abhi ghar ja k wo complete karne hn, phir kisi din Chalein ge. Abhi mein thori si rest bhi karna chahti hn Aaj har haal mein kuch mails ka jawab bhi dene hn." I said.

"Umm Chalein thik ha Aap ja k rest krein, waisey agar aap ziyada thaki hui hn to Mr. Conrado Ko bula ln wo apko ghar drop krde ge" He said.

"Nahi nahi mein khud hi Drive kr ln gi" I said and after biding my goodbye I left.

I opened the door of my car and suddenly I heard a beep on my phone.  It was a text from Minal. I rolled my eyes.

Minal: Maidan chorr k bhag gyi?

Me: Nahi tum jaise log'on  k sath waqt guzarna mein bikul bhi pasand nahi karti.

I text her and fastened my seat belt.

Minal: Btw Thanks!

Me: Wo kis liye?

Minal: Mein or Aqib coffee peene ja rahe hn sath mein. Daikhlo ab tum khud mere liye rasta saaf kr k gayi ho, Chalo Acha hi ha mein khud yehi chah rahi thi. Tumhara shukriya.

Me: Aqib k sath bahar coffee peene kiya chali gayi to smajh liya k Hasil karliya Unhe?

Minal: Abbiya Madam lagta ha Tumhara shohar tumse batein chupata ha, baat to bohat agey nikal rahi ha mene wada kiya tha na tumse k Aqib ko wapis le kr rahu gu? Ab tyar rehna Kiu k mein bohat jald jeet'ne wali hn.

Me: Khushfehmiyo'n or galatfehmiyo'n mein rehne walo ka kuch bhi nahi hoskta.

Minal: Ye to waqt bataye ga.

I threw my phone on the seat. I took out my water bottle from my bag and Gulped it within nano seconds. I was boiling with anger but I try to cool down myself.

I ignite the engine of the car and left.

I entered my room and loosened my hijab and pull it off my head and threw it on the couch. I went to the bathroom and splash the cold water on my face. I was still boiling. Minal's messages made me furious. I am a cool-minded person and I've never been so angry but this time I don't know what the hell was happening to me. I tied my hair into a bun and covered all the windows with curtains and off all the lights. The room was dark.

I was hurt, I was angry, I was broken....  I silently sat on my bed and rest my head on the crown of the bed and closed my eyes. A Storm of thoughts was banging inside my head.

Jab se Minal humari zindagi mein wapis ayi ha meri zindagi jahanum hogyi ha aik bhi din sakoon ka nahi guzra ha...... Yaad rakhna tum Minal Agar tumne kuch kiya to nahi choru gi mein tumhe.... tumhari zindagi bhi jahanum se bad'tar bana du gi.... Or Aqib Aap? Ap ko Meri muhabbat nazar kiu nahi ati? Mein Apko bhi kabhi maaf nahi karu gi agar apne mere sath kuch galat kiya to.....

"ASTAGFAR! La hola wala Quwatta Illa Billah!" I opened my eyes suddenly. I was feeling suffocated. I immediately removed the curtains from the windows and let the fresh air in. I was breathing fast. I tried to control myself. I want to cry,  Loud and loud and loud. I went to the balcony and sat on the swing.

"Kiya hogya Abbiya tumhe? Tum aisi to nahi ho aise kaise aisi soch apne zehan mein le k asakti ho? Himmat karo tum..... Sari umar doosro ko jo himmat or sabar ka sabaq deti ayi ho wo khud kaise bhool sakti ho? Aisa nahi karna chahiye tumhe Bharosa Rakho Allah ki zaat pe Agar tumne kabhi kisi ka bura nahi kiya to insha Allah Bura kabhi tunhare sath bhi nahi hoga...... Imtehan ha ye tumhara" I mumbled. I wasn't feeling well. I threw myself on the couch and don't know when I dozed off.

Author's POV.

He was sitting on his chair at his office. He was so much tired after a long working day. It was 12:00 am  and he was very late today, He had to complete his work today so that's why he was at his office for so many hours.

He opened his drawer and suddenly something caught his attention. A beautiful picture of her. He had framed this picture a few days ago, He did not dare to take this beautifully framed picture to his home. A wide smile crept on his face.

"I love you! Bs chor kr na jana mujhe kabhi, ab tumhare bagair nahi reh sakta mein na hi aisa soch sakta hn isi liye to bahane bahane se yaha b bula leta hn tumhe." He laughed.

He was smiling and was talking to a beautiful girl in that picture.

"Jab se tum ayi ho na meri zindagi mein to aisa lagta ha k Meri zindagi phir se khoobsurat hogyi ha, aisa lagta ha k mein phir se saans lene laga hn, mere andar muhabbat k ehsas ko dubara jagane k liye bohat shukriya. Bs tumse izhar karne se ghabra jata hn. Aik baat batao tumhe meri ankho'n mein apne liye muhabbat kiu nazar nahi ati? Jis shiddat se mein tumse muhabbat karta hn kiya tumhe apna Aap nazar nahi ata mujh mein? Meri ankho'n ko daikhti to ho magar meri ankho'n mein jhankti kiu nahi? Madam itna bura b nahi hn ab mein.." He was still talking to that picture.

"Chalo aaj bohat dair hogyi ha Ab mujhe ghar jana chahiye. Tumse mulaqat to ab hoti hi rehti ha." He carefully put that frame back in the drawer and after grabbing his belongings he called his security guard to lock up his office and then he left.

Aqib POV.

It was 12:30 am, I entered in the room and pin-drop silence was dancing in the room. There was only a slight rustle of wind. The balcony door curtains and window curtains were blowing with the wind.

"Abbiya?" It was dark so I turned on the torch of my mobile phone to find the switchboard and then I turned on the side table lamp. Yellow light scattered in the room. Abbiya was sleeping on the couch. Her one arm was hanging down and one arm was on her forehead covering her eyes. She didn't even change herself she was in the same dress which she was wearing in the evening. She never slept without changing her clothes and why she was sleeping on the couch?!

I moved towards her and sat beside her on the floor and tap her cheeks.

"Abbiya tbiyat thik ha apki?" I whispered.

"Abbiya?" I whispered her name again.

"Hmm" She mumbled.

"Abbiya yaha kiu so rahi hn aap or Mrs. Juliana Bata rahin thi k Apne khana b nahi khaya abhi tak?" I asked. I was worried about her.

"Han dil nahi kar raha tha" she said in a low tone.

"Kiu? Tbiyat thik ha apki? Ap change kiye bagair hi so gyin... Ya phir mere intizaar karte karte soyin hn? Kam se kam khana to khana chahiye tha na?" I said smiling. Her eyes opened and her eyes were slightly red. Our eyes locked for a minute and then she stole her gaze. I was stunned. For a moment I thought that she was someone else and I wasn't looking into Abbiya's eyes, something was very different today in her eyes. But what was that?

Shayad weham ha mera. Aaj office mein kaam bohat ziyada tha isliye ulte ulte khiyal arahe hn. Kahi naraz to nahi hn mujhse?

"Side pe hattein!" She said.

"Naraz hn aap? Sorry Abbiya Aaj bohat kam thay office mein isliye apki calls attend nahi kar saka." I Stated.

"Hmm thik ha koi baat ni" she said dryly.

"Abbiya kiya hua ha share karein mujhse tbiyat to thik ha apki? " I moved forward and grabbed her by the shoulders and held her a little closer.

"Apko kiu itni fikar ha meri? Kiu mere khaney meri tbiyat ko le k itni inquiry kar rahe hn?" She said harshly?! Abbiya or this tone? I was shocked.

"Apki fikar nahi karu ga to phir kiski karu ga? Aik hi to piyari si biwi hn aap meri" I said holding her wrist.

"Ooh to doosri le ayein.. waisey pachta to rahe honge? Hena?" She said and I was shocked by her behavior. Abbiya is such a polite, sober, cool-minded person and patient. I have never seen this side of her.

Koi baat nahi Aqib! Insan hn wo bhi, Jis zaat se humesha hi apko sakoon, araam or thandi chao'n mili ho Us zaat se agar aik garam hawa ka jhonka bhi ajaye to kiya ghabarana?  or waisey bhi larkiyo'n k to mood swings hi itne hote hn k ab bande ko kiya maloom k aik minute mein kiya se kiya hojaye?

"Acha I am sorry mujhe pata ha aap mere ghar late aney or apki calls attend na karne ki wajah se pareshan hn, Meri galti ha I am sorry for that, ainda khiyal rakhu ga k meri waja se koi pareshani nahi ho apko" I said softly. There was still something strange in her eyes.

"Nahi nahi itna sochne ki zaroorat nahi ha apko mein bikul bhi pareshan nahi thi or waisey bhi insan wohi rehna pasand karta ha jaha usse sakoon mile." She said coldly.

"Aap waqei pareshan nahi thin?" I was befuddled by her reaction.

"Han... Khair in bato'n ka koi khas faida nahi ha ye bataein khana kha k ayein hn ya khaein ge?" she asked.

"Mein kaha se kha k au ga, Aap please khana laga dein mil k dinner krte hn bohat bhook lagi hui ha" I said normally and she laughed and left the room. I feel she laughed sarcastically but why she would? I was puzzled. I loosened up my tie and threw myself on the couch.

Lagta ha kuch ziyada hi soch raha hn, hoskta ha Abbiya pareshan hon kisi baat se, abhi shayad mujhse naraaz hn lekin koi nahi mein mana k sort out kar ln ga.
