Taha's P.O.V:

When I opened my eyes, new dawn welcomed me. It was the dawn of my new life. I am feeling free. Like I have been released from prison, a prison of fear.

I had thought that loneliness is the only solution to my problems. Because then there will be no one, who will hurt me.

But I was wrong. This loneliness only increased my problems. I disrespected and humiliated others without any reason.

However, now I have understood that life cannot be spent alone. We all need a companion. A companion, who can change our fear into our strength, who can end our sufferings.

I found my companion in Aqsa, who showed me the right path to living life.

At her request, I agreed on visiting a psychiatrist regularly. I agree that I need mental treatment to overcome my abnormal behavior.

I entered the office and saw Natasha sitting in the reception area.

This lady enjoys watching me troubled because of her. She knows that her presence scares me.

And see the game of destiny, she has recently married to company's shareholder. That's the reason she was present at my reception.

But today I'll show her the place she holds in my eyes.

"Hello, Taha."

"Hello, Natasha... auntie."

"Don't call me auntie, sweetheart."

"Okay, Natasha... granny."

"Are you out of your mind?"

"No. It's just... Everyone!..."

I clapped to get the staff's attention.

"....Please say hello to Natasha...Auntie."

As I expected, everyone said in a unison, "Hello, Natasha auntie."

She faked a smile. Trust me, when everyone called her "Auntie", her expression was epic, filled with the feeling of humiliation.

She immediately left the office.
I enjoyed messing with her.

It gave her the message that I am not afraid of her anymore. She is nothing in front of me.

I was sitting in my cabin, going through several resumes. I need a Secretary. Aqsa is not going to join the company again, she has started working with an N.G.O. She has threatened me that my new Secretary should not be a female.

My phone rang, it was Kaya Aani's call.

"Assalam Alaikum." she greeted.

"Walaikum Assalam."

"I have news for you."

"Am I getting another sibling?" I teased her.

"Maybe. I am marrying."

"Really! Who's the lucky guy?"

"He is the professor at the same college where I teach."

"Iqra agreed?"

"She is really happy. Since the beginning, she used to think all fathers are cruel. But after meeting him, her mindset has changed. She has already started calling him Abbu."

"At least she will get the love of a father."

"What about you and Aqsa? Are you taking care of my favorite student?"

"She is taking care of your son. I told her everything about my childhood. Now it seems like she is my husband and I am her wife. She is getting possessive and protective towards me."

"Taha, initially I doubted that she will ever fall for you. She was a type of girl who didn't know the meaning of love. But the magic of your love changed her."

"Aani, only I will name my new sibling."

"Taha..."

"Bye."
I cut the call.

I am glad that Aani is marrying. She faced the same torture as Ammi. But she was strong. She divorced Abbu when she was six-month pregnant. She didn't care about what people will say. She wanted to save her child.

I supported her. I had lost a sibling, my unborn sibling. Iqra was my half-sister, but I love her like my own blood.

Aqsa's P.O.V:

I was in a shopping mall. It's Kaya's ma'am marriage and we are here for shopping.

Iqra stubbornly asked for a dress and dragged Kaya ma'am with her. While I was busy choosing dresses for myself.

I still can't believe Kaya ma'am is marrying Fazil sir. Many times he has expelled me from his class for disturbing him while teaching.

A woman came and stood beside me.

"Aqsa."

I looked at her and it was Kiara.
"Hi, Kiara."

"Look...are you happy with Taha?"

"I am more than happy."

"You don't need to lie. I know what type of person he is. I want to help you."

"Kiara, I am telling you the truth."

"But..."

"But the problem is in you, not in him. Had you ever tried to find why he acts so weird? Had you ever tried to know about what he has faced in his childhood? If you had, then you won't be telling me all this. He behaves like this because he was treated like this. And I love him. I know, my love will end his pain."

Kiara understood my point of view and she left saying,
"I hope, your words will turn into reality someday."

This girl is not that bad.

If someone acts rude, arrogant, or angry, it is because he has faced tragedies in his life. Behaving rudely with them will only make their condition worse.

I was also running away from Taha, because of his abnormal behavior. But I realized that he needs my support.

Marrying him was my life's best decision.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

I was lying on my bed, I mean our bed. Taha entered the room while talking on a phone.

"Aqsa, what is Rubaina's favorite color?"

"Sky-blue."

"Jashn, it's sky-blue." He replied to the person on call, who is Jashn.
"Favourite flavor?"

"Vanilla."

"Favourite flowers?"

"Lilies."

"Favourite song?"

"Cheap Thrills."

"Aqsa, Jashn is going to propose to her, not taking her to any pub. Tell any other."

"A thousand years."

"Okay." He went out.

I think I should have shopped for Jashn and Rubaina's wedding too.

Everything is seeming so happy. Like a happy ending.

But this is not an ending.

The next chapter will be out very soon.
Bye👋👋👋
