Broken desires

16: strange feelings

16

"Because we are not in a hotel. And there are only four of us in the room, not the whole family." Abrar said, sipping his tea comfortably. There was a soft smile on his lips. By the look of it, he was having a lot of fun here.

And in the house of marriage, these little things don't matter at all.

Huzaifa, who was in a bad mood from the first day, kept glaring at Abrar, but could not say anything in response.

Finally, after burning for two days, Maayun's day came and Huzaifa found something else to busy himself with.

And on the other side, Moomal was almost ready along with other girls, however, when she opened her bag to take out her dupatta(scarf) it was nowhere to find.

"Did you see my dupatta...? I looked everywhere but can't find it. Did I leave it at home? " Moomal asked Rabia who was standing in front of the mirror.

Dressed in a dark henna-color suit, Moomal looked very anxious, her loose hair which Rabia had left loose after straightening, in the process of looking for her scarf,  her straightened locks have started sticking around her face.

Rabia felt sorry for her. "Don't worry, it would be here somewhere, oh yes! You packed your and Huzaifa's bag together right..!, probably you packed it in his bag..?  go and look at his stuff. all the boys have already left for the wedding Hall Anyway, The room must be empty. I am also going out so come soon. Abrar is also coming to pick me up from the hall so I will go with him to pick up Maham and Razia from the parlor. When you all get ready You guys come with the driver. "

After saying this, Rabia went out she also left her room in a hurry and entered the room given to boys, right beside their own.

There were two bags in one corner of the room, one belongs to Abrar Bhai and the other to Huzaifa.

She knew that a sophisticated person like Abrar must have already unpacked his bag and shifted his stuff in a closet. On the other hand, Huzaifa wouldn't have even bothered to unpack his bag.

She placed Huzaifa's heavy bag on the ground and unzipped it to look for her scarf. But even after taking out all his clothes, She did not see her scarf anywhere.

"What are you looking for in my bag...?".

Startled, she looked behind her.

Huzaifa was wearing a black suit and was looking at her with questioning eyes. He has a stubble beard and looked very handsome.

Flabbergasted, She kept looking at him for God knows how many seconds. However, in a few moments, realizing her action, she looked away.

"I was looking for my scarf. It was not in my bag so I thought it might have been in your bag. But I can't seem to find it anywhere. Maybe I forgot to pack it." Telling him she Stood up.

He looked at her from head to toe, almost like scanning her full getup.

Except for her wedding day, today was the first time she has dressed up this extravagantly. Which, of course, without any doubt, was the work of Rabia, his sister. because he was well aware of her likes and dislikes.

She never liked heavy jewelry and dark colors at all.

And for some unknown reason, he always wanted her to wear some dark colors.

she was wearing a beautiful jewelry set, far different from her usual pendant set, even her make-up was done with great effort.

She looked very different from usual. but still very beautiful as ever.

"I'll see if anyone has a matching scarf." Unaware of Huzaifa's heated gaze, she was in her world and just moved to go out when he grabbed her wrist and stopped her in front of him. 

Visibly, His face was still unaffected, but in his heart, he was feeling something very different.

something very strange.

A desire, He never felt before...

Not for anyone else before, not even for Ruby...

"What happened...?" Moomal wanted to free her wrist from his hand as usual, even though it was not hurtful, but today His grip was stronger than ever.

"What was the need to lose your hair in such heat, look at your face, all sweaty." He said putting the hairs on her face behind her ear.

Huzaifa's sudden touch and his deep voice overwhelmed with emotion forced her heart to pound crazily. But still controlling her emotions, She moved his hand away from her face with a small smile to break this strange feeling spread in the atmosphere.

"It's just because I was looking for my scarf, I'll be fine after just five minutes, and Rabia aapi has straightened my hair with so much effort, and now if I tie them up, She will kill me," Moomal said while laughing awkwardly.

"Okay, I have to go now." After saying that, she didn't stop and ran away like a gust of wind.

He just kept looking at her leaving back with confused eyes.

He didn't get why she ran away as if someone was chasing her.

And why is his heart beating so fast..? He raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

* * * * * * * * * *

All the rituals of mayoon and henna were performed cheerfully.

Throughout the function, the girls rejoiced to see Huzaifa as if they had found the prince of their dreams, and many of them even approached him to take selfies with him.

At the same time, the other cousins, who were watching all this with a heavy heart, were surrounded by beautiful girls, and they felt sorry for themselves.

And Uncle Mueez, who was with his older brother Azeem and Maham's father-in-law, was watching all this from a distance, and the look of Disgust was evident on his face.

Nearby, the two girls from the groom's side were also watching all this. "Have You heard the news that Ruby and Huzaifa are having an affair...? I wanted them both to get married soon. But pity that Huzaifa is already married."

What difference does it make, men get married twice, What would be wrong if Huzaifa did the same.  and anyway I like His and Ruby's couple more. Nowadays their new song is also on the top trending list. Together they look so beautiful. I wish if they are not married yet, God willing, it will happen soon."

Moomal, who was tired of standing with her cousins, had come to sit in a corner for a while, but those words had torn her heart into pieces.

Holding the mobile firmly in her hand, she was trying her best to stop her tears from flowing out, but at their last words, her tears fell like pearls on her cheeks.

She already knew that most people would love to see their on-screen couple as a real-life couple, and that's no big deal, but she always feels jealous whenever she hears such wishes.

Because they are unaware but she knows very well about their affair, she knows that how much Huzaifa likes Ruby. She can't deny the fact she is his real partner.

And she, The one who's married to him is nothing more than a friend.

Even after knowing and accepting this fact, she could not stop the pain in her heart and whenever she faced this truth, she broke down as if she had lost everything and everyone. 

"Why are you sitting here ...? Let's go, mother is looking for you..." Razia Maham's sister-in-law, came there looking for her, but she got startled when she saw Mamal's moist eyes.

"What's the matter...? Why are you crying...?

placing her hand on her shoulder, Razia asked in a worried manner, But Moomal had already composed herself, she smiled, and lightly remover her hand from her shoulder and took it in her hand.

"Don't worry, I was just a little bored, otherwise why would I cry on this happy occasion." Moomal got up from her seat as she spoke.

"Let's go." Without hearing Razia Bhabhi's answer, she took her away with her.
