Broken desires

11: Zayn

11

As a child, whenever she returned to the village to her grandfather, Zareena Begum would always take her to meet her paternal uncle.

His uncle had four children, three daughters, and a son, Shah Zain, who was the youngest of his three sisters and the darling of the whole family.

Whenever she went there, she was treated better than her cousins, who were much older than her, but Zayn never liked her presence at home. He was only two years older than she was, but his actions made him look less mature than her.

Well, that's how her childhood went.

But over the years, as he entered his youth, Zayn's behavior Changed drastically. She began to understand his change of attitude towards her.

She had heard the stories of Zayne's flirty nature and many affairs from the rest of her cousins ​​many times. And since her uncle would occasionally affectionately call her Noonh (Daughter-in-law), she learned that she had been engaged with Zayn since childhood.

But since she knew this, whenever she went to her uncle's house, she would be a little careful with Zayn, so that Zayn would not have any misunderstanding on her part for any reason. And she hopes that maybe Zayn will never like her that way and break this relationship.

But Zayn, on the other hand, was happy that his fiancée is so shy.

But, thank God, in all those years, Zayn never said or did anything to her that would make the matter worse. As time went on, she realized that Zayn had deep feelings for her, which may not be very sincere, but she knew for sure that he liked her enough that he wanted to marry her.

despite being engaged with Zayn, she loved Huzaifa, not Zayn. And because of this, she began to feel guilty towards Zayn. It was as if she was sinning, but she was helpless.

But fate had something different prepared for her,  And she knew very well what Zayn must have felt after knowing her marriage to Huzaifa.

And this's exactly the result of his anger,  His sudden contact with her at this time.

"Assalam u alaikum , how are you? ." Moomal spoke in a soft tone. She was not surprised at how Zayn got her number, because she knew he must have gotten it from one of his sisters.

At the question of his well-being, from the other side came the sound of deep breathing, she understands Him enough to say that he's very angry at this moment.

" Zayn, you alright ?"Moomal asked. She knew that this question could make Zayn even angrier, but at his silence, she got worried for him.

Maham and Rabia's attention was now focused on her. They were looking at her with questioning eyes. Moomal smiled lightly, nodded, and looked at the sea again. While all her attention was on the phone.

"I didn't call for these nonsensical questions. I want to know that you married him with your consent Or did it all happen because of your grandfather. " Zayn asked this question furiously.
She gulped and started biting her lip to stop herself from crying. This is the first time Zayn has spoken to her in this tone. No matter how bad and stubborn he was, he had never spoken this harshly to her before.

"Zayn... now ... now what's the point of this question..." she said hesitantly, but she knew Zayn won't accept it so easily.

And it turned out to be correct.

"It is I! Who will decide whether there's a point or not. You just tell me whether you married Huzaifa of your own free will or by the will of your grandfather! Because I swear that whoever did this I....."

Someone snatched the mobile from her hand.

And when she looked back in shock, Huzaifa was standing right behind her.

"What would you do...?! No, exactly what can you do ...! Give these useless threats to someone else... because I don't give a shit about it...! And next time, don't even bother to call my wife, if you want to fight, call me directly. " Speaking in a harsh tone, after speaking in a harsh tone he hung up.

Moomal kept looking at him in surprise. She was about to say something when the waiter brought their order.

"Let's eat." Ignoring Moomal's glare, Huzaifa held her arm and sat her down on her seat.

Everyone else sat down in their seats, watching with silence and suppressed smiles.

"By the way, what was he saying...?" When the waiter left after serving the food on the table, only Abrar dared to ask this question.

"The same thing, threatening." He said shrugging.

But Moomal did not like Huzaifa's answer.

"He just wanted to know if I got married of my own free will, and nothing more. And it's justifiable for him to be angry at me." she couldn't stop herself from defending him in front of all of them.

"I knew this good-for-nothing person wouldn't give up so quickly," Maham said thoughtfully.

Moomal was not a fool who could not understand Zayn's intentions, but it's in her nature to stand up for any of her blood relatives when needed. That's just how she was, willing to make any sacrifice for her people.

"And what did you answer...?" Rabia asked Moomal. Even though everyone was aware of the real situation, they still wanted to know her answer.

"I was about to answer... but Huzaifa snatched the mobile from my hand," Moomal complained, looking at Huzaifa's Stoic face, who was looking at her.

"What did you expect me to do...? To Let, you talk to your darling cousin...? Who was threatening you...?" He said it offensively.

"Well, stop fighting like children now and start eating, otherwise such a hot, yummy meal will get cold. I am very hungry." Said Abrar while filling his and Rabia's plate with food.

The rest of them started eating too while both, Moomal and Huzaifa were still in a bad mood, but because of everyone else, they fell silent.

About eleven o'clock at night, everyone got out of the restaurant and stopped in front of their car.

"Rabia Papi, I want to go in your car," said Maham, who sat with Moomal, Huzaifa, and Ahmar when they arrived here.

"I also want to see how Abrar Bhai has mastered his driving skills. Sorry, Huzaifa!  You and Moomal should come alone."Ahmar said while sitting in the back seat of the car with Maham.

"What exactly are you guys thinking...? It's not as if she has never sat alone in my car with me?" Huzaifa said, raising his eyebrows questioning.

Moomal was silently watching everyone with interest and a slight smile.

Because of her college and university, Huzaifa had many times picked her up. So sitting in his car with Him alone was not anything new to both of them.

But this time it's a little different. Because today, for the first time after the marriage, she will be alone in the car with Huzaifa. Also known as Romantic Long Drive.

Despite being angry with Huzaifa, her cheeks turned pink at the thought.

"I know! But there is a big difference between then and now. Well, whatever you both think, we are going. You two can come late if you want."

"And yes!  Moomal wanted to eat ice cream." Telling him She finally sat down with Abrar in the passenger seat.

Abrar started the car's engine and his car drove away disappearing from their sight.

Huzaifa took a deep breath and then looked at her. Saying "let's go", he opened the door of his car and sat in the driver's seat. Moomal also sat on the front seat with him as usual, carrying her bag, and started their journey without delay.
