40. Another Name Of Care
As promised I used it where I said I would Crazy_lollipop_lover
"You what!?" Tehreem was shocked. All this while she was worried thinking how to break this to her daughter. Now she didn't know if she should be relieved that Falak knows or should be worried about the fact that her daughter has discovered something which will break her heart.
"I'm sorry mom! It wasn't intentional. I was about to ask dad about something but I... " she muttered. Tehreem just stared at her dear daughter. She searched for any signs of devastation or disappointment in her expressions but all she could say was, she looked upset.
"Falak, beta! No matter what we would always support you."
"What? It's not about me, it's about him...." she was puzzled at her mother's words.
"Yes beta! I agree, and that's what I'm saying... whatever you decide we will always be with you." Tehreem smiled at her.
"Mom? What's there to decide?" She was beyond puzzled right now.
"Falak? Do you still want to....." she sighed,clearly not knowing what her question should be.
"Mom!!please be clear." Said Falak, now with a worried look.
"You still want to marry him?" Her question shocked Falak.
"Mom!! What are you talking about?!" She asked with her eyes bulging out.
"Falak, you sure you heard everything." Asked Tehreem.
"Yes mom I did but, I was clearly not expecting this kind of question." Falak dragged a chair from the two-seater dining table on the kitchen and slumped on it, holding her head.
"Falak, are you okay!" Tehreem was now worried at her actions.
"Yes Mom! I'm okay, just a headache, I wasn't able to sleep last night." Tehreem turned towards the counter and prepared her a cup of coffee. Once she was finished with it. Tehreem brought Falak to her room. She made her sit on her bed and sat right beside her.
"Mom, why do you think I'm not ok after hearing everything?" Her question surprised Tehreem.
"Are you supposed to Ok? I mean really? Falak, you are engaged to a man who is... I don't know... What am I supposed to say?"
"Mom! Relax! Just because he has had a sad past written on his fate doesn't mean he will always be the same." Falak smiled at Tehreem.
"Falak, sweetheart I know, but you can't blame me for being a protective Mom! I wish only the best for you.. I agree it's not Wajahat's fault, but we have to look out for you too.. you're my baby princess and I can't let anything hurt you.." Tehreem hugged Falak, to which she just smiled.
"I'm not blaming you Mom! I'm well aware of the worries that you and dad are going through, and Bhai's stern behaviour too. But, do you think us backing out from this alliance is gonna be good for any of us! I don't know about anyone else, but the guilt of rejecting him just because he is broken after losing someone is not going to be good on my part."
"Falak.... can you accept a man, who is incomplete?, who's other half is isolation?" Tehreem asked with worried eyes.
"Mom! What is mine, will be mine. No matter how hard we try. And what's not written for me will never reach me." She smiled at her.
"I don't know why Falak, but you being Ok with everything had made me more worried than before." Tehreem looked around the room, avoiding Falak's eyes, on one point she was happy that her daughter was sensible and mature enough that she was ok with it. On the other hand she was worried to her soul, thinking what will be happen if they just let time do the magic.
"Mom! Relax... there's nothing to be worried about." Falak kneeled down on the floor, infront of her mom.
"Falak, you have no idea what you're saying. It's not always possible to complete a hollow in someone's heart. You'll always be referred as the second one."
"It's not about being second or first mom. It's about being everything. And I'm not competing with Sana, there's no competition between us. She is special and no matter what happens she will always hold a special place in so many hearts. I'm not trying to snatch that away because I'm not jealous. Love is not some thing which can be forced. It makes it's own place, without us knowing about it."
"I never knew my princess has grown up into a wise queen all by herself." Tehreem cupped her cheeks and smiled with misty eyes. Falak just hugged her.
"But my question still remains unanswered Falak." Falak broke the hug and frowned at her mom.
"Can you accept a man who is already incomplete." Falak smiled and held her hands.
"Nobody's complete mom. It's love, that completes us."
"Uh huh!! Love?" Tehreem asked, smiling at her, Falak blushed and replied smiling.
"Love is just another name of care." Tehreem hugged her daughter and made a wish from the bottom of her heart.
"Ya Allah! You're solely responsible for all our lives and our fates. Guide my beloved daughter to what's right for her. And bless her with enough patience for everything you have planned for her. Oh Almighty, indeed you're the best of all planners." She prayed, concerned about her sweet daughter, who was ready to take such a big risk, one which would have it's effect for the rest of her life.

Anaab hit the brakes hard just on time. She jumped out of the car and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey You!! Shweeto....." she squatted and gently ran the back of her fingers over the kitten's head, which was just about to be crushed beneath her car. Just when she was planning to take the kittens in her arms, a loud bark frightened them both and the kitten jumped on her. She glanced behind and found a dark brown stray dog on the other side of the car growling at them. She wasn't scared of dogs but the way it was staring at them, it was sure that If he didn't have that kitty he wouild definitely pounce on Anaab, she took a small step behind and ran to the nearest gate possible.
She shut the large metal gate with all her might and ran towards the left side which looked like a garden, with beautiful colourful flowers. She sat on the grass with the kittens still in her arms. She cooed at the grey white ball of fur and forgot the fact that she was in someone else's ground and she was clearly trespassing.
Aarish was walking towards the garage humming a song when he noticed someone on their garden at first he thought it might be Sajida.
"When did she colour her hair this black. And wait it looks like she also has used conditioner." He paused "Why the hell am I thinking about our maid's hair." He grimaced at his own thoughts. "Oh no no no..... that's not Sajida."
"Heyyyy!!! Who are you?" He shouted at the top of his voice. Anaab jumped from he place.
"Ya Allah!!! I'm not deaf. " she held the kitten close to her.
"Well then my assumptions were right then. You are blind." He was now standing right in front of her.
"Excuse me!" She raised an eyebrow at him.
"You're trespassing.!" He smirked.
"I didn't... I was just running for our life." She stated proudly.
"Our!? I don't see anyone else here!" He glanced around. Anaab cleared her throat and pointed towards the fur ball in her arms.
"Oh my god! You kidnapped my baby!" Exclaimed Aarish. Anaab held the kitty now even close to her.
"What?" She asked horrified.
"That little kitten is mine." He stated looking at the small kitten.
"Really!? Then you're the most irresponsible pet owner I've ever met. How can you leave her out just like that?" She glared at him.
"Doesn't matter... please give it back to me..." he moved his hand towards the kitten and the fur ball hissed at him.
"You sure it's your kitten because it certainly looks ready to bite you." Anaab laughed at him.
"Well we're not on good terms right now but she'll eventually get over the loss of her precious milk." Aarish said looking around.
"What....you drank the milk which was meant for her?" Asked Anaab with wide eyes.
"Whaaaatttttttttt..... yuck no.... I stepped on the bowl by mistake." He flinched. Anaab laughed at his expression.
"Ofcourse you did.... oh!! I forgot, you have a very dramatic flare." Aarish's eyes bulged out at her words.
"But still it was very careless of you to leave her out like that. A dog was ready to pounce on her." She said caressing the kitten's head. It was busy purring in delight.
"Can't force her... Sajida found her on a bush and brought her home... the kitten is around only when Sajida is here, if not it goes out to wherever it lives, we actually tried to made a place cozy and comfy for the little fellow, but no matter what it does wander away." Aarish explained.
"Oh! A stray kitten." She looked at the creature in her arms. She wanted to adopt it as her own but she couldn't do that for she had to travel back to her home in Austria. With heavy heart she let the kitten down, it stayed on her feet for a few moments then vanished behind the trees. Aarish Who was paying close attention to her saw the change on her expression. One minute she was all happy, then she turned thoughtful which eventually turned into sad.
"Ok then! Allah Hafiz." She strode towards the main gate.
"Oh hey! This isn't how things happen!" He blurted.
"What?" She asked confused.
"I mean, one minute you trespass and the next you decide to leave." He huffed.
"Well.. I'm..so so so...... not sorry." She said with such sorry expression but the end words made him gawk at her with mouth agape. She giggled at him and strode away.
"What is She!? Well I mustn't let anyone that she has the power to leave me speechless." He muttered looking at the gate.
Hey ya sweetie people's
A really quick update on one of my beloved reader's cute request to update soon.
user20174548 this one's for you cutie pie! Hope you like it.
Aahh!! I apologize to all my readers! I was about to type a Wafa chapter but then i kinda remembered that I had to publish a chapter where everyone should know about Falak's reaction over Wajahat's past. I thought it was necessary.
Let me know what you think about it.
Trying to create some thing new on you sweety's beloved Aarish.
I got an ship name for Aarish and Anaab as Rishaab... I love it but i think it's kinda long.
Let me know the perfect name for them.
Hope you guys have mercy on me and comment so that I know your preferences and favourites about my book.
Last time a sweety was clearly angry at my constant notes where I request you guys for votes and comments. I bet there might be more people who feel frustrated about it too.
But sweethearts I'd never know if you guys don't comment, it was people's comment which has made Ateeb-Mehek as one of the lead roles along with WaFa. If not they would have been mute by now. And Aarish too, it's because of you people that he will also have the priority of lead characters.
So be merciful and generous enough to state your thoughts.
Vote, comment and share.
Take care.
With lots and lots of love.
Kiara💞
