Author's POV

(After 2 months)

Saboor cleared his throat and said.

"As i am finally here, kyun na rukhsati kr di jaye ab toh Sumbul bhi kafi bdiya ho gyi h"

A blush coated her cheeks on his words. Everyone was happy except one soul. And she placed her rejection infront of everyone.

"Beta abhi Sumbul pd rhi h thoda ruk jao" his mother said with honey coated voice.

"Harz hi kya h jb sb khush h toh" Saboor said challenging his own mother.

"Kya bakwas kre ja rhe ho" his mother lost her cool and yelled throwing the phone from her hand.

"Ek hafte ke andar hmari mayoon h" he said in his dominating voice.

"Or tumhe lgta h m yeh hone dungi" she said gritting his teeth.

"Rok ske toh rok lijiye" he said and moved out from the lounge.

Tears threatened to flow from her eyes.

She gasped woking up from her dream.

And cried when reality hit her hard.

She went out to see wedding preparations were started but it was not hers

Hamza approached her and side hugged her form.

She sighed as she remembered what happened 2 months back.

Her tayi ammi proved her wrong in every situation. Saboor didn't hated Sumbul until that day.

Flashback
Sumbul went to university with Aman on his Annual function.

She was happy seeing him doing the role of famous 'Zameendar'. No doubt his role of dominating and strong character suited him.

She smiled when he yelled loudly in the play at a 'Peasant'. Sure he was a great character.

As the play ended. Aman messaged to go home if she is not comfortable as it was very crowded place. And he knew she hated the crowded place.

She was walking as she find no rickshaw. And Aman stayed back as he was given the hosting role also.

She sighed as again she crossed the road for nth time to reach the home.

She stumbled as her slippers broke, she restrained herself from falling.

In the meantime Asfyandar came  as he recognised her. He was Hamza's bestie. Every now and then he visited his house. He knows Sumbul very well and also knows that she is very naive and innocent.

"Gudiya where are you going" he asked pressing breaks.

"Bhai, me bs ghr ja rhi thi achanak se yeh jutti toot gyi" she said looking down at her broken slipper.

He didn't find it in manners that he should live her alone.

He asked her seat on the bike and she willingly agreed as it was so hot.

He dropped her at home where Saboor was present in his room to find a file which was important for his meeting.

He found it on the table beside window. Unwillingly his eyes went towards window where Sumbul was talking and laughing with Asfyandar.

He didn't mind it.

But in the night when his mom entered his room saying she wanted to say sorry and want only good for her son.

He being big hearted person forgives her and started talking about their day meanwhile he got a notification of a video.

Where the full conversation was heard by him and his mother.

"Did you trapped him?" Asfyandar asked smiling.

"As i did now i will use him" Sumbul said.

Just a mere video destroyed his world he was fuming with anger.

Of course no one likes it when they are used, when their feelings are being played.

And he felt betrayed.

And the rest is the present.

She took the basket of flowers and went to the backyard the house to instruct the workers about working.

When she was returning she met Saboor. His eye were empty with no emotions.

The eyes which were full of love and adoration for her now were blank just as empty like he never loved her.

She tried to tell him the truth but failed miserably everytime.

"Soon you will receive divorce papers" he said and moved from her way.

Warm tears made its down to her cheeks and neck she wiped them and went to her room.

Wedding Day

Barat were reached on venue at time everything was set and they were on time.

It was past zohar now and the nikah was before zohar.

Sumbul's eyes were hollow seeing him wearing white sherwani but not for their wedding.

His eyes were same as her's.

"Mujhe or jagah bhi jana zara dulhan ko bulaye" kazi sahab said.

Brides mother send bride's sister to call her but the next said word from bride's niece shocked everyone.

"Dulhan toh bhaag gyi" that innocent didn't know what was the meaning of this mere sentence.

But rumours started spreading bride's family was so ashamed that they left the venue as soon as possible.

Saboor didn't knew why fate was playing with him.

He felt so much anger into his veins that the next decision shocked everyone.

"Sumbul kregi nikah" he said with so much anger that even his dared to say something but one thing he knew that if this nikah happened that Saboor will be saved.

He thanked Almighty silently in his heart.

Sumbul's father didn't said anything but he was sure that whatever happens happens for good when he tried to stop also.

Saboor said "ek hi cheez mangi h kya woh bhi nhi denge" and he agreed.

*****************

After the nikah when they were seating on the stage.

Sumbul's eyes were hollow and empty she felt like her feelings were being played. She was in jora of her mother.

Everything happened in so much hurry that she didn't realise when she became his.

Everyone congratulated them and the photographer asked for the photoshoot.

They stood up and posed as the photographer said.

She shivered when his hand touched her waist. She went stiff under his touch.

When the session end she released her breath which she was holding.

Soon the Rukhsati happened and she hugged her parents but didn't cried. Her eyes were so dry and empty.

She hugged everyone and settled inside the car.

He went to the penthouse instead of their house.

Fate took very sharp turn that they were confused with their feelings and tired of played.

But anger was bursting in to her veins.

Soon when they reached she got out of the car the closed the door with the full might that it shook Saboor who was thinking seating in his car.

He was no less in her in terms of anger.

'How dare she touch my car like that' and followed her inside.

She was standing inside the the lounge when he came and asked her.

"Yeh kya badtamizi thi"

"Bdtamezi abhi tumne meri dekhi nhi bataungi toh mein tumhe ab or ek or bat agr tumne mujhe bich me rokne ki koshish bhi kri na toh tum gye" she said with all her might.

She played the vedio in which she was talking with Asfyandar.

"Did you trapped him?" Asfyandar asked smiling.

"As i did now i will use him" Sumbul said.

But the next sentence made him slip floor beneath his feets.

"As i did now i will use him as my diary as that moon who saw me crying for him on those night when i missed him".

"Do you seriously love him?" Asfyandar asked.

"Love is small word. I thank him for existing he was, is will be my everything" she said and laughed.

"Um hum hme bhi btaye appi ishq ki dastan kash meri bhi aesi hi dastan hi" he said with heart eyes.

She laughed and said.

"Us ishq ke darakht pr sbki dastan likhi hui h tumhari bhi zaroor hogi"

He laughed and bid her good bye.

He felt guilty for not listening her, avoiding her and not understanding her.

"Kya tumahri mohabbat sirf itni hi thi ki tumne kbhi mujh pr yakin nhi kiya....

Mohabbat m sbse zroori cheez smjhna or care krna hoti h.

Lekon tumne mujhe glt sabit kr diya" she said and cried.

Ayo Lieblings.
