It's been 2 days since I had talked to Farrah about my escape. Her words had been roaming in my head like anything.

No matter how hard I try not to think about it... They take up an effect on me.

I just want to live in peace. With no sufferings, no tension. I just want to be free and live my life and get married to the person that I love.

But is this all even written in my fate??. Except for all the hardships and sufferings and breakdowns.

Will I ever be in peace??.

Today is the day that I'll run away from my own house.

I have planned and discussed everything with Alyaan.

And I just hope that we run-away successfully and that too with out being caught.

But at the same time I'm scared... Farrah's words keep echoing in my mind. They keep on reminding me that I'm going to suffer. Her words are marked like anything... I just can't stop thinking.

Ya Allah!!!. Help me out!!.

After packing few clothes and some important essentials of mine I kept the bag on the table and sat down on the bed with my head in my hands.

My head has been aching since the whole day. The horrible thoughts were not leaving my mind at all.

Getting up from the bed i took a water bottle from the side table and drank it. Keeping it aside I went towards the terrace that was in my room.

The cold breeze welcomed me. Wrapping my arms around myself I stood there and looked up at the sky.

It's been an hour since I told Badr my plan about running away with Alyaan. The look on his face that I had seen was something that I couldn't comprehend at all. It was like as if he was scared of loosing something that was soo close to him.

But who am I to think about it.

Taking a deep breath in I shook the thoughts off my mind. I was in no mood of thinking about all this now.

A sudden knock on the door made me flinch.

Who is it at this time??. No one ever came to my room at this hour...!!. Who is it now...??. Does someone know about my plan??!!. Ya Allah don't let that be!!.

Taking slow steps towards the door I stood there.

Kon hai??.

Mannat mein Badr...!.

Ohh acha!!. Ek min.

Opening the door I moved a side to let him in.

Closing the door slightly I turned around.

Haan bolo kya kaam hai??.

Woh mein btanay aya tha keh sb so rhay hain or koi nai jaag rha. Raasta saaf hai...

Acha... Theik hai...

Ek kaam kro yeh bag lay jao mera or wait kro neechay mein aati hoon theik hai.

Theik hai.

After he went I looked around my room for the last time and then went downstairs.

Closing the door of the main gate behind my back. I walked towards Badr.

Hum car pr nai ja rhay kya??.

Nai car lay jaana is time theik nai kisi ko shuk pr skta hai... Mein nay cab order ki hai.

Umm.. Hmm...

The cab came in few minutes and we sat in.

I rested my head on the head rest and looked outside.

Is it the right thing that I'm doing??. Running with Alyaan..!!. Running away from my own house and never coming back...

I shook my head not wanting to think anymore.

We reached there in half an hour. Getting out of the cab I looked at my surroundings. There were few people at this hour. Mostly the station would be full of people.

I went and sat on the bench.

Yeh lain aapka or Alyaan ka ticket Manchester keh liye. Train abhi 2 hours ki delay pr hai.

Acha theik hai.

Sitting on the bench that was behind Mannat I looked at her.

Kaash mein insay apni mohabbat ka izhaar kr skta. Pr meri bhi kya auqaat hai... Ek noker hoon mein in keh ghar ka...

Sighing I looked at her once again she looks soo beautiful. I wish she was mine... But all I could do was wish and nothing else.

Wesay Mannat Alyaan apki mohabbat keh kabil nai hai...

Hearing my words she turned back.

Acha toh tum laik ho meri mohabbat keh.

Her words shook me to the core.

Meri baat ko aap hawa mein mut urain Alyaan apsay itni mohabbat nai kr skta jitni...

I couldn't let her know that I love her...

Dost kehtay ho ossay or yeh dosti nibha rhay ho tum...

Mohabbat nibha rha hoon mein... Mohabbat dosti say bara hai...

Sharam nai aati na tumhay Badr... Dosti keh naam pr dhuba ho tum...Bharosa krta hai Alyaan tum pr..

Yeh Alyaan ki dosti hai jo mein apka or oska saath day rha hoon... Wrna mein apni mohabbat ko panay keh liye kisi bhi tufaan say lur skta hoon....

I didn't want to fight with her... But....

Bakwaas bund kro apni Badr or jao yahan say.... Jao...

Getting up from there I went and stood there at the side not wanting to talk to her or fight with her anymore.

I looked at the time it was 1:30 AM. Still time was left for them to go.

Many thoughts consumed my mind at once...

Will I ever get a chance to see her again??. Will I ever get a chance to be close to her??.

It's been a long time now I took out my mobile from the pocket and dialed Alyaan's number.

Few rings went but then it got switched off. I tried ringing him again but this time his number was switched off.

Did he change his mind on running away with Mannat??. Or did he just play around with her??.

I was too lost in my thoughts when I heard Mannat calling me.

Alyaan ka pata chala... Mein ossay kbsay call kr rheen hoon woh phone bhi nai utha rha...

Kaheen Alyaan nay apna irada toh nai badl liya??.

Hearing these words from my mouth I saw the color of her face drain.

I could see the hurt in her eyes. But what if he really did change his mind??.

Tum ossay phone kro. Mein nay kaha Badr ossay call kro.

Phone kiya hain mein nay ossay 2 baar Mannat nahi utha rha mera phone bhi.

She looked here and there in worriness. I could see she was really hurt deep down.

But it isn't safe for her to stay here all alone and wait for him.

Him??. Yeah him... The one who isn't even worried about her. The one who gave her an idea to run away from her own house just to be with him. And today he isn't there!!!.

Umm... Mannat Umm.. Mujhai lgta hai humay ghar chalay jaana chahiye... Q keh woh apka or na mera phone nai utha rha...

Nai mein idhar oska intazaar kroon gi...

Pr...

Mein may kaha na mein oska wait kroon gi.... Tumnay jaana hai toh jao....

I got up from the seat. I could feel some uneasiness in my heart. It was as if something was going to happen soon.

But what was going to happen I had no idea!!.

But little did I know that helping Mannat in running way would cost me my life.

I walked here and there so I could loosen up my consumed mind. But that's when I saw Kasim there.

I couldn't make out why the hell was he here... Did they come to know that Mannat wasn't at home??.

I went back to Mannat and held her arm and dragged her away from there so that Kasim couldn't see us.

Kya kr rhay ho tum Badr??. Choro mujhai...

Nai chor skta mein... Aap bus chalo meray saath chup chaap.

Mein nay kaha na choro mujhai.... Choro Badr...

I kept on ignoring her pleas. I turned to look back... But I wish I shouldn't have looked back.

I saw Kasim running in our direction.

Mannat jldi chalo...

Kya.. Hua kya Hai....

Mannat I don't have time to explain u just do as I'm saying...

Waheen rukh jao tum dono....

We kept on running...

Mein may kaha waheen rukh jao tum dono...

Mannat's uncle held me.. And from the other side I saw Kasim holding Mannat tightly in his grip.

Yeh... Yeh dono bhaagnay ka plan bna kr bethay thay uncle... Or yeh doh takey ka mulazim jo hai hamaray ghar ka.. Ley kr jaa rha tha meri honay wali bivi ko....

Nai.. Nai... Ayesa nai hai Ayaz Uncle... Mein nai bhaag rha tha Mannat keh saath.... Woh toh....

Ek dum khamoh... Khamosh....

Kasim haath choro mera....

Nai choroon ga Mannat aab dekho hota kya hai tumharay saath...

I just wanted to break his hands so that he could never touch her....

Lay kr jao in hay....

Ayaz Uncle mein such keh rha hoon mein iss keh saath nai bhaag rha tha....

Mein tumhay baad mein dekhoon ga Badr...

Gaari mein bethao inko....

We sat in the car and I could see Kasim smirking from the other end... That's when it hit my mind that he knew all the time what Mannat was planning.

I looked at Mannat she had her down and the tears were flowing from her eyes.

I couldn't belive that I got stuck up in all this...

I wish I didn't help Mannat... I wish I could have stopped her... Kaash mein Khamosh na rehta....

Little did I know that now I was going to pay for the deed that I had done....
