Broken desires

19: cheating on her

19

Moomal was looking at him with wide eyes, but Zayn, he was still standing, looking at her face silently as if he wanted to memorize her every feature.

It's true that since he entered his youth, he has had many relationships with many girls, done many things that no fiancée could tolerate. however, during all those years, she never complained to him even once.

He did all of that because he wanted her to complain to him, ask him that how could he love someone else when he's engaged to her?

but she never complained, she didn't even ask anything.

Maybe their relationship was not even worth complaining about.

And so, despite his anger, he never restrained himself from such things, and his image in front of everyone turned worse.

He didn't care about anyone else, the only person he cared about was Moomal. but she was ignoring him from the start as if She could not see Him.

As if, He doesn't matter to her.

At first, he thought that no matter how much Moomal ignore him, but one day she has to marry him, but he did not know that one day She would be taken away from him. If he had known, he would never have let her go.

When he got the news for the first time that Moomal has gotten married to Huzaifa, he was so shocked that he did not understand anything. He immediately wanted to go to Karachi and kill him who snatched the love of his life.

But his father stopped him from doing anything rash. But his temper did not subside, and now his anger has turned into his stubbornness.

He wants to take her back from Huzaifa in any case, no matter what it takes.

Because he knew that her marriage to Huzaifa was not of her own free will, but of her grandfather's will, which he would not accept at any cost.

He will make every effort to break their marriage.

"What's the matter, why are you looking at me as if I'm about to kill you...?" Zayn asked, raising his eyebrows, but still, there was a smile on his lips.

She took a deep breath as She regained her composure, but still, her whole body was cold from the panic. "Why did you lie about uncle...?" She asked, managing her normal tone.

"Moomal, answer me this first, If Huzaifa had stood in front of you instead of me, would you have been still as scared, as you are now?" Zayn was hurt by the frightened look in her eyes.

"In your eyes, am I the kind of person who would take advantage of you..? Have I ever done anything wrong to you? Have I..? " The conversation started with a smile that had turned sad and emotional.

Moomal, who had previously been terrified, was suddenly embarrassed by Zayn's accusation. feeling ashamed of her reaction,  she subconsciously lowered her gaze.

"I didn't mean that..." She said in an embarrassed tone, but then, She remembered how Zayn has just lied to her.

"But, why did you lie...?"

"I lied to you because I wanted to talk to you alone. If I had told you about Baba, you wouldn't have stayed here. So I had to resort to lying. I had no ill intentions towards you." Saying all this in a soft tone, Zayn moved and stood in front of her.

Seeing him standing so close to her, she looked up at his face.

Zayn was looking at her face very intently As if reading her every expression.

But Moomal, Being the center of his gaze, felt her face turning red.

"I don't feel like staying here in Uncle's absence, Zayn, I'll call you when I get home," Moomal spoke hesitantly, and walked towards the door, but at her second step, Zayn stopped her by standing in front of her.

And this time, his eyes were stormy. "Your home is here.! You went to that house for only a short time, not forever!" he spoke in a shouting tone, however, his voice was still low.

Moomal was stunned at his sudden outburst. "Zayn, I..."

"Why did you marry someone else when you ended with me?!, weren't you well aware of my feelings.!? You knew very well, that I have loved you! You didn't even think about me!! do you think my feelings don't matter...? Why did you play with my feelings?! just Why...!! " this with his tone, his voice has also turned loud.

It was clear in his eyes and every single word he has just spoken that she has hurt him badly. She was tongue-tied at his outburst. She had no idea what to say to justify what they have done to him.

on the other side, He was waiting for her answer, but Moomal, who was not ready for Zayn's verbal assault. After these questions, she could no longer face him.

She just wanted to hide away from him.

She again tried to walk away, but again Zayn grabbed her arm and stopped her from doing so.

"Why Moomal...?" Zayn's deeply hurt tone forced her to look at him. His eyes were laced with his raw emotions.

His pain felt like a dagger stabbed into her chest. Her ever-gentle temperament made her very anxious to see him in hurt.

She didn't know what to say, because, She had no answer to his questions.

So what could she answer.? Even though She was familiar with his feelings, she never felt anything for him?

Or, despite being engaged to him, she loves someone else..?

Of course, Zayn wouldn't like to hear that. So she remained quiet. But, her silence further enraged Him.

" What..? You don't want to answer me..? Or, even for that, you have to get Huzaifa's permission..?

Moomal suddenly shook her head in denial. "It's not like that, I'm just..." She was embarrassed by His accusation because it's true, she was trying to ignore him because of Huzaifa.

If somehow he found out about her coming here without telling anyone, he would be very angry with her. Her mouth felt suddenly dry and goosebumps sprang up all over her arms.

Only the thought of this was frightening.

What if he learns of her being alone in a room with Zayn..?

But she did not want to show her fear to Zayn, so in her defense, Moomal just wanted to say something, but Zayn's next words shocked her to her core.

"That hypocrite is cheating on you. Did he tell you that he married Ruby Ahmad a month ago?"
