Author's pov
Mikaeel was sitting on a couch with his friends Walid & Simon. It's not hidden anymore that Maryam has got married to a wealthy man. That's what Mikaeel knows. But, he doesn't know what Maryam has gone through.
According to him, Maryam has betrayed him. She has played with his feelings and she is a gold digger. Seeing a man richer than him she couldn't control her greedy mind. Though he loves her, at the same time he is hating her too. He only heard that Maryam got married to a man who is from Dubai and the owner of multiple oil companies. He doesn't know that Maryam was forced to marry.
" Bro, don't think about her. You deserve better," Simon said to Mikaeel and Walid agreed with him.
Mikaeel replied having an untroubled expression," I know that I deserve better."
" She will regret it one day. Don't keep her in your mind anymore. I wish she gets a severe punishment for betraying you," Walid said pouring all the hatred he has for Maryam.
Mikaeel said in disbelief," I still can't believe she betrayed me like that! Everything was going good between us and she assured me that she will talk to her parents about us but suddenly she got married!!"
" Don't get sad, bro. There are thousands of girls out there who will be on your feet just by one snap of your finger. You will get hundreds of Maryam out there. So, don't think about her anymore and move on. Don't destroy your life," Walid told looking at Mikaeel who was lost in Maryam's thoughts though he heard Walid.
Letting out a chuckle Mikaeel said," What did you think that I will start taking drugs, alcohol and cigarettes just because my girlfriend left me!! I am not any movie hero who will become Devdas just because my girlfriend ditched me. Come on, guys. I am Mikaeel Sheikh. I am not a person to act like a stupid."
" That's our boy!! We are happy for you, bro," Simon and Walid let out laughing.
Then, Mikaeel added more having a mischievous smile," And, you are right. I will get hundreds of Maryam out there."
Simon whistled with excitement and Walid punched Mikaeel's arm. Mikaeel let out a peal of laughter but only he knows what he is going through. He is always a realistic man and knows very well how to hide emotions. That's what he is doing right now.
His heart is shattered into million pieces and he knows he can never forget Maryam. But, he is helpless. He has to move on with this heartache. Though he is angry with Maryam, he still prays for her good life. Mikaeel wishes Maryam has gotten a good husband who will love her just like him.
After two days
" Peek a boo......." Maryam said removing her hands from her face and Yamir giggled.
She hid her face behind her hands again and Yamir removed her hands giggling. Touching her face with his tiny hands he kissed her nose and Maryam ruffled his hair.
