Maryum & Imaad one shot (Bonus #1)

Flash back Chapter 54 (part 2)....

"Yeh rishta woh sirf apni lust ko satisfy karne ke liye kar raha hai! Because he knows he can't have you any other way! That's all you are to him! Ayi samajh!"

She yanked her hand out from his grasp and shoved him back harshly, "I hate you soo much!"

Ends...

.............

'I said too much... I shouldn't have... But.....  I can't lose her... I can't... '

Imaad's heart beat thumped loudly in his chest as he took large steps running up the stairs towards Maryum's room.

He could find it even if blindfolded that's how well he knew this path.

But today there was a strange fear gripping his body making him stumble in his steps and causing his mind to forget where its supposed to go.

He stopped right in front of her door and gulped.

Raising his hand to knock, he steadied himself but his fist quivered and he dropped it.

His breathing was uneven and his blood was rushing like the Monsoon tides.

So afraid.... He was so afraid....

Imaad had always opposed changed, he hated how it made him vulnerable to new surroundings. Hated how he didn't know what would happen next.

They were friends since the last four years and he gave her all she asked for. Even when he shouldn't have... Even when he knew she was just saying so to make herself feel better... Doing it only because she was too broken to do any better.

But he didn't.... He didn't stop her... Never told her no...

Why?

Because then he would have to tell her why....

Why was he stopping her? Why was it hurting him that she hurt herself? Why did he care???
Why?

He'd have to tell her...

And then things would definitely change in between them.

For better or worse he wasn't sure...  no one could be.

You don't have the power to predict the future..

And hence the fear of her unseen reaction always kept him quite. Kept him on the path he didn't want to be. Also he was afraid of himself. The bad boy persona was his safe zone. Hurting people was easier than making things right.

But today...

After what Airaa said, he couldn't let that fear hold him back from living his life.

He shouldn't..... Because if today he failed.... He'd never be able to live with himself, watching the girl he loved break a little more each day, married to the man who doesn't deserve her only because she thought she was too dirty to deserve any better.
