Hey guys.. here in the chapter..where her is written in bold italics then Mohsin is talking about another girl...take care of that...Enjoy reading!

*******

"Qubool h"she answered and We were officially married while something pricked my heart.

I closed my eyes..and could see the flashes of her. Us.

A tear escaped my eyes as I realised that we won't be together anymore.. I won't harness a hope of me getting her...meeting her...seeing her...finding her ...as now I am someone else's but my heart Was not ready to listen as it kept cherishing those moments we spent together..even for few days.

•••••••••••••••

I was literally pushed by my cousin's into my bedroom. While ..all I wanted to do was..to go somewhere..have some peace..and could think about it..

I was in a mess...Lot of confusion..as Somewhere my heart was relieved..and somewhere..I felt..I lose her..

I entered inside the room to see her sitting on the bed. Dressed in a pink lehenga..I have seen her face only once during the ritual...(even If I was least bothered.) But the fact is ..she is beautiful..

But she was not her.

I paved my way towards the bed and said in a soft tone.

"You must be tired,umm..You can change .." I said stuttering.

She stood up slowly and went to her suitcase. To get her clothes.

But her veil was disturbing her..

"Aap yeh parda hataa skti h..iski koi zrurat nhi h.." I said.

"Yeh ritual h..parampara h..hum nhi hata skte.." she replied in her sweet voice.

Holly..I heard her voice for  first time!

I liked ...that she didn't just nod..but kept her opinion..but still....I have to tell her... that this veil is not required.. it's not everytime girls..who follow the customs....who maintain their limits..sometimes..they should just step out of these  social boundaries and let them be what they are ... should chase their dreams and become What they want to.

When these customs come in between of ur dreams....then . following those customs aren't necessary..

It's not that she is letting the customs come in between her dreams..or maybe she is..I don't know..but I still want to tell her.

"Shivangi..You shouldn't blindly follow the customs....agar aapko acha lge .then u can follow..lekin if something's get destroyed..or you are getting troubled by those customs.. then u should just let them go!."I explained her...looking in her eyes..and those eyes....played some strings of my heart..but I couldn't able to understand it..

But one thing,I realised that I spoke her name for the very  first time!

She smiled..and nodded..

And did I forget to tell ..

her smile was magical..which made my heart do somersaults.

She went to bathroom and I sat down on bed..,closed my eyes..and could hear  her laughter...Her cute cute pouts..and I was again lost in our moments..even if they were few..

I heard the twisting of knob ..and saw her entering in a night gown!!

I was mesmerized..was the understatement...

She came!!
I smiled ..she smiled back..

And I went to washroom..but I was confused as hell!!

^•^°•°^°•^

Soon I came..and saw her sitting on bed..I could see confusion..and sadness..written all over her face..

Maybe!she is also unhappy with this arrange marriage..

"Umm...aap so jao...I asked her.and went to the right side of my bed..to sleep...

But seems like sleep was far away from my eyes.

I had two reason ..which weren't letting me sleep.

1) Her thoughts weren't letting me sleep.

2) I was not on the bed alone..I was hesitant to even make movements..what if I touch her accidentally and make her uncomfortable!!

These thoughts weren't letting me sleep ..but by god's mercy ... finally..I drifted to sleep..

••••••••••••••
I woke up..I felt some warmth..a soft fabric.. touching me..and my hands clutching that fabric..or I don't know what was that?

I opened my eyes..to see me clutching Shivangi's waist ...while..she was snuggling into me more and more..

I was about to take my hands..back..but it felt so amazing.to have her in my arms....I caressed her soft skin of her waist  by my thumb...I felt so good..she started making movements..and snuggled into me more....

Her lips touched my neck..!!

Holy shit!!

And I felt sparks run down my spine....

She opened her eyes slowly...lifted her face..and our eyes met...I was again lost in her eyes...

Why do these eyes look familiar?

No one was speaking anything..I was just drowning in those big black expressive eyes...

But soon our moment...or whatever it was..got broke by a knock on the door..

We entangled our legs .as we realised that she was actually sleeping on the top of me..

We were Embarassed like anything!

°°°°°°°°°°
We were having our breakfast. Just then I coughed because food got struck..

Shivangi ran in no time and made me drink water..

"Aap theek to h.?" She said rubbing my back....My coughing got normal after sometime.. I turned to look at her!!.

Worry was evident on her face!!

I held her hand from the down of the table..to prevent eyes on us.

And caressed her hand..she looked at me..and I nodded . telling her.. that I am fine..

She smiled..while I adored her!!

✨✨✨✨✨✨

Few days passed..

I was getting to know her.. I like her .. it's confirmed..but about love!!

I don't think .I will be Able to give that love that she deserves..

Because she is In my heart.. everytime..I think of Shivangi..she comes in front of me...

I was wondering in my room thinking about all this..just then..I got hit with a sharp pointed thing..I looked at  photoframe which was facing the couch..I held it and turned...and..saw her.

How can she is in this picture?
It was a Collab pic of shivi..from her childhood ..to her marriage..but in the place of Shivangi..I saw her.

Shivangi  came..

"Umm .. Shivangi..ye kon h?."..I pointed to her.

"Ye main hu.. it's my childhood photo.." and I was shocked was an understatement..

I recalled my childhood.

Flashback!!

I was in my tuition..not because..I was not good in studies.. it was just that my parents were so busy..that they couldn't babysit me.

I was just 5.

I was bored ..there..as I knew ..how to solve the mathematics.. solutions.

I literally solved them 4 times.. because my teacher was so busy attending the other students.. that she wasn't assigning me further work...

Just then I saw a beautiful girl, little younger than me..frowning..as she wasn't able to solve some sums..

She was sometimes blabbering..sometimes frowning..and sometimes pouting..

And I couldn't help but chuckle.

She was looking sho cute!!

She heard my chuckle..and realised my gaze on her..she raised her head..and glared at me.

"What ?" She spoke feeling offended!

"you are cute"I said and she smiled slyly but again got busy with her sums...she wasn't able to solve them.

"Mai kuch help kru?" I asked.

She looked at me for sometime!

"Tume aata h? She asked cutely..

I nodded..she gave her ntbk ..and I solved that question explaining her..

After I solved that question..she smiled at me..

"Thank you!" She said! I smiled..

"Tumhara naam kya h?"

"Sheenu..sab mujhe yhi bulate h.."

Cute!

"Aur tumhara?"

"Momo..sab mujhe yhi bulate h.."I said copying her. She laughed.

"Aww..tum kitne cute ho.."she said pulling my cheeks..and I felt her small soft hands touching my cheeks ..It felt so good...

"So friends?" I asked forwarding my hand for a handshake..

"Friends.."she accepted shaking hands with me.

•••••••••

We  were like best friends..we used to share everything..used to talk a lot...I never wanted her to go!!

But it was like destiny decided something else for us..

Her father got transferred to another state. And she had to go with him

We bid each other...an emotional good bye...

I was there weeping standing on the street waving at her..while she was waving .. sitting in her .car..

She was also sobbing..

And from then..I never saw her..!!..never talked to her..I wanted to..but couldn't keep connections..but my heart already made a connection with her..

After she went away..I used to get flashes of her..of us..

She used to come in my dreams...!
She was in everything which belonged to me.

I realised.. that I was in love with her...but . before I could do anything..

My parents raised the topic of marriage..

**********

Present

"Is ur name sheenu?" I asked.

"Yes .. that's my nickname.." she replied..

I got everything..and hugged her tightly..she let out an audible gasp..while I was hugging her and shedding tears ...of happiness...

"Aapko kya hua h?" She asked..

"Main..momo.hu..yaad h...hum tuition m ek saath padhte the.(while she looked at me confused!) .ek sec.." I said..
And showed her my childhood pic on my phone.

"Momo.."her tears rolling down her cheeks...I wiped them with my thumb...

And she hugged me..tightly...

We broke the hug..

"I love you sheenu!!..I love you so much..jab tum chali gyi thi..then I realised that I love you so much.." I said cupping her face.I let it out..I was holding that  for long...now..I didn't want her to go away from me..

There was a moment of silence between us..

She touched our foreheads..and whispered..

"I love you too momo!!" She confessed and my heart danced with joy..it was a magical moment...I kissed her forehead..and she held me by my shoulders..As .. I continued to love her showing how much I missed her! How much I love her!!

Sometimes destiny has its own plans .we just have to wait for the right time..
