SHATTERED HEARTS

Ch.5.And the broken halves then shattered to pieces...!

Dedicated  to Zarahfarooq♥

             Zaara gently layed back on the bed resting her head against the headboard. The memories of her dark past continued to haunt her as she remembered the times she had spent with Yassy.

   
          Zaara opened the page of her diary that read "The most painful day of my life." A lot of events had led to that painful day and Zaara now realised  that she had tagged it wrong.Although it was painful, it was the day she had realised her mistakes and the day she had changed for good!

      
               First semester of junior year was over with Zaara and Yasmin glowing in the sparks of their awesome friendship. Work load had also increased and they were tired to bits looking forward eagerly for summer break.

          One fine morning, Zaara was heading from her house towards college and she was a bit irritated as her friend was ill and couldn't attend that day.Although she had promised to come to her tuition classes in the noon.Yet the day would be too lonely without her bestie and just the thought of being without her disappointed Zaara!

         As she walked along the side of the road, she heard someone call her name.Zaara turned to see the last person she expected. Kashif was two years junior to her in school and lived close in her neighbourhood. Zaara wouldn't talk to him much although they had good family relations and he was often a part of the extra curricular activities that were lead by Zaara in school.

        Zaara glanced at him surprised. Although she was wearing her abaya and Niqaab yet they all knew her well since she was the only hijabi going to college early morning from their neighbourhood.

           "Yeah?" Zaara stopped and questioned him. " Salam Zaara.", Kashif muttered and Zaara could tell he was nervous .

         "You called me just to say salam?" Zaara questioned irritation clear in her voice.

   "No", Kashif said instantly "I wanted to talk about something. "

         Zaara sighed. "You have two minutes coz I m already late."

      Kashif scratched the back of his neck nervously and looked at her,
"Ummm.. I was wondering if you know .....Rashid?"

       Zaara gave him a bored look,
"Stop beating around the bush and get to the point.You have 1min left."

  Kashif sighed exasperatedly, "Atleast tell me you know him or not?"

      "No", Zaara replied and turned to leave.

      "Hey wait.Let me complete." Kashif stopped her."He .....He was ....In our ...school and he even...lives here nearby ...May be you have ...Ummm. ..seen him..."

    Zaara stomped her foot in rage,"Why on earth would I want to know who this person is?  And I don't care if he lives here or on another planet.Now stop ruining my already ruined mood."

         Kashif straightened up and shoved both his hands in his pocket " Look he asked me to tell you that he wants to befriend you and get to know you better."

       Zaara stared at him in shock,"Are you an alien dropped today on earth? Don't you know I never talk to guys let alone befriend them.which reminds me why am I even standing and talking to you.Get out of my sight and never talk to me again."
