I couldn't stop thinking about Mannat since the day I have met her. I couldn't believe that she's no more mine. How could she just move on and leave me like this all alone to suffer in pain??.

She can't do this to me!!. She just can't move on like this!!. But she isn't the same one as she used to be the one that used to be laughing, the cheerful one, is all long gone now.

Her eye's all they hold is now is the sadness and they hate for me.

But what could have happened to her since I had left her. But I didn't leave her purposely. It was her fucking cousin Kasim that had kidnapped me and tortured me to death. If he wouldn't have kidnapped me or tortured me this all wouldn't have happened. But atleast she had to listen to me for once didn't I deserve this much!!.

Alyaan. Alyaan!!. Mein kbsay tum say baat krnay ki koshish kr rheen hoon lekin tum kuch sun he nai rhay sirf apnay soch mein gum ho.

Mama I'm not in a mood to listen to any thing. Please leave me alone.

Alyaan mein yahan tumhari koi bkwaas nai sunoon gi aab.

Mama...!!.

Shut up and listen to me Alyaan.

Mein abhi apni ek dost ko call kr keh unki bhaanji ka haath maangoon gi tumharay liye.

Mama aap ayesa nai kr skteen meray saath!!

Or q nai kr skti mein haan tum apni mun maani kro woh theik hai. Tumnay jo krna tha kr liya hai Alyaan. Aab woh ho ga jo mein chahti hoon. Aab ek bhi nai sunni jaye gi tumhari Alyaan. Smjh ayi tumhain!!.

Pr Mama....!!.

Stop it Alyaan. I'm going to call my friend and then we are going to meet that girl and set the date of your marriage.

Pr mama how can you just...!!.

Enough Alyaan no more argument is needed on this topic now. Just get out or in fact I'll leave the room and you just stay here.

I sat down back on the sofa and rubbed my hands over my face.

How can you do this to me mama??. Marrying me off to a girl who I have no idea about??. What did I even do to deserve this??. If mama wants me to marry her then fine. I'll marry that so-called girl but I'll make sure that I'll make her life a living hell and she'll regret marrying me.

Get up Alyaan we have to go now I have talked to my friend and now we'll be going there.

Khaala why are you preparing lots of food??. Do you have someone invited over to the house today??.

Yes beta I have my friend invited over for today. Soo that's why I have been cooking.

Hmm.. I see Khaala. Is there something that I can help you up with?.

Noo beta everything's done you just go and get ready.

Umm... Fine as you say Khaala.

Reaching my room i went inside to get ready.

Once I had got ready, I made a hairstyle and applied a light makeup.

Finally ready, I gave myself a last glance at the mirror and walked down stairs.

Khalaa let me help you in setting the table atleast. You've been working since the whole day.

Aray beta it's okay I'll manage agay say toh mein nay khood he krna hai naa sb.

Umm.. Khallaa I didn't quite get you but anyway I'm still helping.

Picking up the plates from the slab I walked out of the kitchen and kept kept the plates on the table and started arranging them I'd no idea how many were there in total so I'd had to set the whole table.

Once finished with the setting of the table the door bell rang out of no where making me jump slightly.

Beta I'll go open the door in the mean time you just go and bring some snacks that I've already made.

Okay Khalaa...!!

I was getting curious now. Who were those people??.

Waliking into the kitchen I took out the tray from cupboard and kept the snacks on them as per khaala's order.

Who are those people and why is Khaala hiding them??. I mean even I've a right to know them right??.

Picking the heavy try up I started walking carefully towards the drawing room with the whole concentration on the tray. If it falls whose gonna be at fault then!?.

Once keeping the heavy tray on the table , I looked up to see and my gaze landed on the person that I didn't wanted to see ever again.

Alyaan!?.

I stood there shocked not able to comprehend what exactly was happening and what was he doing here??. How did he know the address of my house??. Is he a stalker or something??.

I looked to my right and saw his mother sitting there with a smile.

I seriously don't get this now??. What is actually happening??.

Muskaan beta udhr q khri ho bethi a kr meray pass.

I walked towards the sofa where Khaala was sitting and sat down beside her.

I looked at her in confusion but she smiled at me.

I sat there with no clue.

Keysi ho Muskaan beta?

Umm.. Mein theik hoon Aunty. Aap keysi hain?.

Mein bhi theik beta.

Acha beta Alyaan ki memory wapis a chuki hai and he remembers alot now.

Hmm.. That's great Aunty.

All the way round you just came here to tell me this!!.

Muskaan beta aap Alyaan ko jaanti thi.

Umm.. Nai Khaala he was just a patient of mine and nothing else.

Hmm.. Sahi sahi.

But I could see something in her eyes. It was a spark of happiness.

My Khaala and Aunty got engrossed in talking and ignoring the rest that were there with them.

What was I supposed to do now get up and walk away from here??.

I felt someone's deep heated gaze on me.

I looked up and saw Alyaan staring at me with the hate in his eye's.

What have I ever done to him??. Why is he looking at me with this much hate??. As if I'm responsible for something that has happened to him??.

I couldn't remove my gaze away from him. He indeed looked handsome. The way his hairs looked kind of disheveled. I almost felt like touching them. Astaghfirullah!!. What am I even thinking??.

In these months I might have felt restless for not seeing him. Since that day I'd sworn to myself that I'll never see him again. But is this the planning of fate that made me meet him??. Or it's something else??.

I remember the day when he was admitted in the hospital he looked soo helpless, lonely and broken. I remember when I'd held hand hand to feel the pulse, the way I felt tingles all over myself.

I still have no idea what feeling was that??.

Am I really getting attached to him??. Am I falling for him??. No no I can't fall for him when he's already in love with someone else.

But why isn't my heart accepting this??. Why??.

The voice of Aunty made me jump from my place.

Toh hum aaj iss liye aye hain idhr aap keh pass Samina keh mein aap ki pyaari si bhaanji ka haath maang rheen hoon apnay betay Alyaan keh liye.

Kya suchii mein!!??.

Haan Samina mujhai tumhari bhaanji bohat pasand ayi hui thi phlay din say he!. Or mein issi ko apni bahoo bnana chahti hoon.

Mujhai yaqeen nai ho rha keh Allah nay meri sunli hai!!. Allah tera shukr.

I just sat there confused, shocked not able to digest the information that was just heard.

Aunty wants me to marry him??. But he's in love with the girl Mannat. How will he even love me let alone live with me!!.

This is some kind of a joke. I can't marry him. I have to say no.

I looked at Khaala and saw smiling like never before she looked soo happy.

How am I even gonna say no??. Ya Allah help me out!!.

I looked at Alyaan who sat there with his jaws clenched amd fists tightened.

He felt my gaze on him and looked up at me.

I fell scared all of a sudden by looking at him. His eye's held the rage, hatred and an evil glint too that were looking back at me. His eye's were telling an another story.

I looked away from him. I felt my breath getting heavy. I felt suffocated by sitting  in the same room as him.

I got up from my place.

Umm Khaala mujhai koi kaam hai mein abhi ayi.

Theik hai beta.

I walked out of the room quickly and went to the terrace and stood there. Taking deep slow breath's I calmed myself down.

I didn't feel like going in there now. I just wanted to be alone. I just hate all this!!. Why did Alyaan's mom want me to marry him??. She knows that her son loves someone else but still. What if that girl Mannat comes back out of no-where. Will he leave me for her??.

Obviously what am I even thinking he'll leave me for sure!!. Ya Allah!!. Just help me out!!.

I wiped off the tears that had streamed down my face.

I'm going to marry a person whose in love with someone else. The one who has feelings for someone else. But why is my heart not accepting this from inside??. Why am I hurting from inside??.
I shouldn't be feeling anything but why am I feeling this then??.

I took a deep breath in and went back to the drawing room with a fake smile on.

A gayi Muskaan.

I went and sat down beside Khaala. She looked soo happy from this proposal. It's like as if her wish is granted.

Acha toh hum logoon nay tum dono ki wedding date bhi fix kr li hai.

What are they even serious??. Ya Allah!! What is happening??. I don't wanna get married to this person soo soon!!.

So the wedding is after 2 weeks okay!!. Everything would be done simply. We would just call few of the relatives from our side and Samina from your side too.

Okay Rida!.

Huh!??. After 2 weeks!!??. They must be kidding. How is this even possible??.

Chalo aao aap log or khaana khaa lain.
Sb kuch table pr set hai. A jayain.

Everyone got up and went to the dining area where the dinner was arranged.

Sighing I got up and made my there. But luckily today was a bad luck day for me soo I had to sit opposite to Alyaan.

Pulling out the chair I sat down.

I felt his deep gaze on me. I didn't want to look up at him. His gaze was making me uncomfortable. But then I ignored him through out the whole dinner.

Once everyone ate their dinner and the table was cleared up it was time for them to leave.

Acha bohat shukriya tumhara Samina iss dinner keh liye or apni bhaanji ka haath daynay keh liye. Bohat shukriya.

Aray aray Rida iss mein shukriya ki kya baat hai bhenoon ki tarah ho tum meri. Bus mein oos Rub ki shukr guzaar hoon kisnay meri sunli hai.

Allah in dono ko hamesha khoosh rkhay!!

Ameen!!.

Acha aab chltay hain Samina.

My Khaala and Aunty hugged each other.

I stood their awkwardly beside Alyaan.

I could feel him getting tensed beside me. But what was I supposed to do??.

I felt him moving closer to me and that made me stiffen.

He bent to my level and whispered that had my all hope's thrown away.

You are gonna regret marrying me Dr. Muskaan and I'll make sure of that!!.

My eyes widened and my breath started getting heavy. I fell my whole world spinning around me. I grabbed the sofa for support.

Seeing my condition Alyaan smirked which made me feel more dizzy.

This was only the starting of my nightmares. But little did I know that he'll remain true to his words.

Acha chalo Alyaan beta bohat late ho gya hai.

Aunty walked upto me and hugged me and trying not to be rude I hugged her back.

She's the reason of all this neither did I meet her, and neither this all would be happening to me.

Khayaal rkhna apna beta!!

G Aunty.

Once they were gone Khaala locked the door and came upto me and hugged me.

Mein bohat khoosh hoon beta. Allah nay meri sunli hai. Hamesha say yhi dua krti thi keh koi acha sa insaan mil jaye meri Bhanji keh liye or aaj dekho mil gya. Kitna acha insaan hai naa Alyaan.

G Khaala!!.

Tum khoosh toh naa beta.

G Khaala mein bohat khoosh hoon aap bhi khoosh toh mein bhi khoosh.

Allah tumhay ayesay he muskratay rkhay. Ameen!!.

Aab bohat late ho gya hai soo jaatay hain.

G Khaala!!.

I walked upstairs to my room and closed the door behind me and making sure to lock it.

Resting my head on the door I let the tears fall that I have been holding since long.

I slid down the door and hugged my knees and cried my heart out.

Ya Allah I don't wanna marry a person whose gonna hurt me. I don't want to get married to him!!. Allah just help me out!!. Am I this bad that you have put me in a state where there's no going back. What have you out me thru Allah!!. Pull me out of it!!. I don't want to live this life anymore!!. Allahhhhh!!. Help mee!!.

Getting up I made my way towards the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. I looked vulnerable. My makeup had been smudged due to the crying. I washed my face and changed into my night wear and came out.

I went and layed down on the bed.

My mind replayed the words of Alyaan.

His words made me cry more.

What did I ever do to him??.

Mujhai Khamoshi nai rehna chahiye tha!!. Meri Khamoshi he ek saza bun gayi hai meray liye!!. Kaash mein yeh khamoahi tor dayti. Kaash!!.

My eye lids then started to feel heavy and I then snozed off into the deep sleep.
