Broken desires

10: They doubt him

Like any other creation, Man is also a creation of nature who likes to feel loved, who wants to be someone's first wish, to be the most precious happiness in someone's life.

And Huzaifa was no different.

"What kind of question is that...?" Huzaifa, smiling, asked in surprise.

Seeing his smile, Moomal didn't say anything, she was still looking at his face impatiently as if the answer to this question would heal this pain in her heart she was feeling right now. Even though she knew it was not possible.

Huzaifa finally spoke when Moomal seemed to be waiting for his answer. "I indeed like Ruby, but if Ruby didn't love me back, I wouldn't even think of marrying her."

"Why..?"

"Because one intelligent man said, marry the one who loves you, not the one whom you loved" Huzaifa explained it to her, as an adult explains to a child.

On hearing this, She felt deeply disappointed.

"Sleep now, it's too late," Huzaifa said softly, touching her hair and Moving away from her.

Moomal was still entangled in the web of her thoughts.

So, according to Huzaifa, we should marry the one who loves us. . . ?

"Then, should I have married Zayn.?" Once again she couldn't help but ask herself.

Huzaifa was lying with his eyes closed to sleep. Moomal's sudden question came as a shock to him. He sat up again and looked at her angrily.

"What did you just say..?! Are you crazy! Zayn doesn't like you, he was marrying you only in greed, not in love!!." Huzaifa's tone was very harsh.

Shocked, she looked at him in disbelief. "How can you say that with so much confidence...? " Her tone filled with frustration.

"Because I can say so, now go to sleep quietly and stop thinking this nonsense. There is no point in thinking about it now because you are already married to me!" His voice and tone both were telling Moomal the intensity of his anger.

She still wanted to discuss this with Huzaifa, but knowing him, she changed her intention and lay down quietly on the bed. He also turned off the lamp, which caused complete darkness in the room. But soon the moonlight from the window began to enter the room.

Moomal was unable to calm her mind despite her best efforts. It was constantly weaving a new web of thoughts for her.

Huzaifa wants to marry Ruby because he thinks She likes him....?

Not because he likes Her....?

She also loves him immensely, then why did he never see her love...?

even after becoming his wife, Will she spend her whole life watching him love someone else...?

"Moomal... Do you love Zayn...?".

She was still constantly engrossed in the same thoughts when Huzaifa's voice broke the silence in the room.

For a moment, Moomal did not understand what Huzaifa had said. But at the second moment, she was startled by Huzaifa's sudden question.

"No, I don't..."

"That's good, because in the future, no matter what happens, or under any circumstance, I won't let you meet him."
