Zaid Meri baat toh suno.

Mubashira said running behind him, struggling to keep up with his long strides.

Her hand reached out and tugged on his arm. He turned around, his eyes clouded with furry.

Choro mujhe.

Zaid said snatching his arm away from her grip.

Zaid trust me mujhe nahin pata tha ke Asif uncle ne Ayra ko room mein band ker ke rakha hai.

Mubashira spoke, her voice laced with urgency. Her eyes searching his for the trust she wanted to see.

Aur main kaise maan loon. Tumhara trust kaise ker loon main?

Zaid asked, a note of bitterness coloring his tone.

Zaid please. Biwi hoon main tumhari thoda bharosa toh dikha sakte ho mujhpe tum.

Mubashira said, her heart picked up pace as her palms turned clummy. She reached out, extending her hand to hold his but he took a step back.

Bloody hell MJ. I don't trust you.

He spoke, his words sharp, cutting through her heart.

She had grown habitual to his tenderness towards her. Suddenly this sharp side felt alien to her. She took a step back, her eyes searching his and she saw disgust in their depths which stabbed her heart like a sharp degger.

Kya karun main Zaid?

Mubashira asked, a note of tiredness coloring her tone.

She walked towards the rooftop and asked, her tone gentle.

Should I jump from here to gain your trust?

Mubashira asked turning to look at him.

Zaid got statled hearing her. He walked upto her. His eyes locking with hers. His hand reached out holding her arm softly. Mubashira felt a delicate shiver race down her spine.

Aisa koi kisi ke liye nahin kerta MJ.

Zaid said, his voice softening slightly.

He left her arm and was about to leave but stopped as she called out.

Zaid.

Zaid turned, a gasp escaped his lips. His heartbeats stopped seeing Mubashira standing at the edge of the rooftop. Just 1 step and she may embrace death.

Mubashira.

Zaid called out running towards her. His hand extended out in a hope that she'll hold him.

Kya ker rahi ho. Pagal ho gayi ho kya? Marna chahati ho kya?

Zaid asked frantically. His fear evident in his voice as their eyes locked.

Nahin Zaid.

Mubashira said taking a sharp breath. Her legs trembling slightly.

Agar tumhara yakeen paane ka yehi tarika hai toh yehi sahi. Agar yahan se kood ke meri sachai sabit hoti hai toh yehi sahi.

Mubashira said, her eyes filled with fierce determination to prove her innocence.

Mubashira breathed, her eyes fluttering close as she spoke, her words carrying a declaration of her love for him which stirred something deep within him.

I love you Zaid.

With that, she was about to take a step and was about to maybe end her life but Zaid was quick, he grabbed her hand and pulled her back. Mubashira gasped with the sudden pull. Her heart quickened it's pace as she came flying into his arms. Her back hitting his front. He turned her around and their eyes met. Her hazel brown orbs shinning with a hint of vulnerability met his black ones, laced with fear.

His hands reached up, cupping her face, stroking the counters of her cheeks with trembling fingers. Mubashira shut her eyes, her breath hitching audibly feeling his hands cupping her face. She felt a wave of warmth coursing through her vains.

Pagal ho tum gir jati abhi.

Zaid said angrily but the fear in his voice was undeniable.

Mubashira trembled slightly. Her eyes fluttered open, a spark of recognization flickering in their depths as she held his shoulder and tried to push him back slightly

Kya kerti main Zaid? Tum mera bharosa hi nahin ker rahe thy.

Mubashira confessed and then let out a trembling breath.

Main thak gayi hoon Zaid. I'm tired.

Mubashira said, her shoulders slumping down. Zaid held her, his heart aching for her. Mubashira, giving into her vulnerabilities leaned forward and placed her forehead on his shoulder seeking comfort in his scent.

Zaid,s heart raced at the unexpected gesture of Mubashira and he couldn't help but snack his arm around her, holding the delicate curve of her waist.

Mubashira shivered slightly, a sigh escaped her lips.

Meri galti kya hai Zaid?

Mubashira asked pulling back but not completely. She was still in his arms. Their eyes met, their faces inches apart.

MJ...

Wait main batati hoon.

Mubashira stopped him, the ache in her heart taking over.

Ayra tum per haq jata sakti hai Zaid per main nahin?

She spoke, her voice quivering with emotion.

She cupped his face, her fingers caressing the counters of his cheeks with tenderness. She watched as he closed his eyes, his breath leaving him in a whoosh as a delicate shiver raced down his spine.

because you love her.

She added, her voice shaking as she controlled her tears that welled up in her eyes.

Kyun Zaid. Main biwi hoon tumhari.

Mubashira said, her frustration evident and she took a step back.

Are pyaar kerti hoon tumse.

She confessed taking a few steps back. A tear rolled up on her cheek.

Zaid,s heart trembled as he took shaky steps towards her.

Per tum mujhse mohabbat Nahin ker sakte, samajhti hoon main.

She spoke, her voice trembled with vulnerability. Her back hit the wall behind.

Per main itni buri hoon Zaid? Ke mujhe tumhara bharosa bhi nahin mil sakta.

Mubashira exclaimed, her voice weak with doubt.

Her legs grew weak and she was about to fall but Zaid was quick, he held her wrapping his fingers around her waist pulling her slightly closer. Mubashira leaned forward, resting her head against his heart.

Ayra tumhare sath har waqt rehti hai Zaid. Maine bas tumse tumhara thoda sa waqt manga tha. Toh main selfish ho gayi. Uss din tum mere kamre mein aa ker soye thy main selfish ho gayi. Mujhe har baar Ayra selfish kyun kehti hai Zaid? Jaise woh tumpe haq jatati hai main nahin jata sakti?

Mubashira asked, her voice quivering with pain. Zaid felt a tug at his heart. He gently cradled her face in his palms wiping the crystal droplets away that clung to her cheeks.

Aisa nahin hai.

Zaid spoke feeling his throat tighten. His heart ached for her.

Aisa hi hai Zaid.

She spoke and pursed her lips trying to choose her words carefully as she didn't wanted to hurt him.

Main manti hoon main perfect nahin hoon. Mujh mein main hai, egoistic hoon, selfish bhi hoon but....

She stopped and let out a trembling breath. The pressure on her head was suffocating her.

She held his hand and watched his eyes soften, a delicate sheen of tears welling up in them.

But I tried to change myself. Maine khud badalne ki koshish ki.

She added, her voice quivering with emotion.

Zaid,s heart ached hearing her. He closed his eyes and a tear rolled down his cheek. Mubashira reached out, her touch hesitant but tender as she brushed the tear away making Zaid,s heart skip a beat.

Kyunke main tumhein jeetna chahati thi. Apni ego ko satisfy kerna chahati thi.

Mubashira confessed, her words hung heavy in the air and Zaid,s heat shattered loudly in his ears.

Per I ended up falling in love with you.

She added, her voice a mixture of love and sincerity. His heart swelled with warmth hearing her as tears rolled down his cheeks. Mubashira reached out, her hands cupping his face as she gently wiped the tears away from her beautiful eyes.

Main chahati thi ke tum meri taraf bhi ussi narmi, ussi mohabbat se dekho jisse tum Ayra ko dekhte ho.

She confessed, the raw vulnerability in her words made his heart tremble.

She cupped his face tighter as she spoke her voice trembled with sincarity.

Mere andar chahe lakh kamiyan ho Zaid per mera mera pyaar tumhare liye kabhi jhootha nahin tha. Na hi kabhi ho ga.

Zaid couldn't help but tear up hearing her. He reached out and cautiously circled his arms around her petite frame pulling her into a tender embrace. His touch hesitant but tender. His heartbeat quickened it's pace.

Surprise flickered across Mubashira,s features as she felt him pulling her in his embrace. She trembled slightly but later eased when she felt his hands on her hair. Her heart seemed to let go of all the rhythms, beating loudly against her ribcage. For a moment, she was afraid that it might leap out of her chest. Her eyes were wide as she thought that it's all a dream but later she eased when she heard his heart beating loudly right below her ear.

As she felt the warmth of his body against hers, her vulnerabilities took over and her hands hesitantly found their way to his waist and the dam broke. The tears she kept contained made their way out of her eyes. He held her tighter as he heard her muffled sobs. His own tears fell unable to see her state. As they clung to each other, Mubashira cried to her heart,s constent till there were no tears left that she could shed. Her each tear, each sob cut though Zaid,s heart like a sharp knife as he realized the depths of her anguish.

I'm sorry MJ.

He pulled away, his voice quivering slightly as he wiped her tears away with a gentle touch.

I never realized the depths of your anguish. I never realized the depths of your pain. Maaf ker do mujhe.

Zaid apologized, his voice quivering with guilt.

Mubashira shook her head sideways as she spoke, her voice thick and hoarse because of continues crying.

Zaid mujhe tumhari mohabbat chahiye bheek nahin.

These words tugged at his heart and he cupped her face tighter, silently lifting her face so that their eyes could meet.

Nahin MJ yeh bheek nahin hai.

He spoke, his voice quivering with sincarity.

Kaise maan jaun main?

She asked, her voice quivering with fear. The fear of abandonment clouding her judgement.

Zaid smiled, his hand tracing the contours of her cheek tenderly and Mubashira couldn't help but close her eyes, a sigh of contentment escaping her lips.

I'll win your trust. I promise.

Zaid said softly. The determination clear in his eyes.
