ISHQ

🥀

The loud bang of the bathroom door shutting snapped Izzah out of her khayal as she kept staring at the way her shouhar went with those muhabbat bhari nazrein.

She felt all giddy inside remembering what had happened. His touch, his words, everything about her shouhar sent her body on fire.

She looked at her blushed appearance at the mirror and smiled to herself.

Everything about this feels right.

Everything about her muhabbat feels right.

She laid down on the bed still gum in his khayal and slowly sleep made its way to her.

He came out of the bathroom and chuckled seeing her sprawled on the bed with a dreamy smile on her face.

He laid down beside her not before placing a fervent kiss on her forehead.

Izzah woke up with a smile on her face, her eyes involuntary turned towards the other side and frowned seeing the khali jagah.

Today was her chhuti from college and she would not get to stare at him on the safar to the college.

Though the fact that it was his chhuti from office too turned her na-khush mizaaj to happy one.

Quickly taking a bath and freshening up, she chose a laal joda for herself.

Lined her aankhen with Kohl and replaced the small earrings with small gold jhumkas.

The noor of his muhabbat was reflecting on her face as she smiled at herself in the mirror wrapping the laal dupatta that had zari ka kaam on her shoulder.

After a lot of thinking and mustering aur bhi zyada courage, she had finally made a faisla of reaching out to her family.

Zyada na socho Izzah, sab sahi hoga.

She gave herself courage as she descended the stairs with a dilkash smile on her haseen face but that smile faded a little as she saw everyone busy in their naashta.

Her shouhar busy smiling with another ladki that he didn't even notice her.

"Arey Izzah, aao baitho," Hafsa called out whilst Izzah's nazrein were tiki on her shouhar who didn't even looked up when her name was called out as if she didn't even meant anything to him.

"Dekho meri behen ki beti aayi hai, Rumi. Milo isse," Hafsa continued introducing the two girls and Izzah forcefully smiled and bid her salaam to his cousin.

"Ammi aap toh ise parayon ki tarah introduce kara rahe hain. Arey ye bhi toh humari family ka hi hissa hai." Haider murmured giving Rumi a dilkash smile that should have been only reserved for her.

"Tayi ammi, meri tabiyat zara kharab hai. Main apne room main ja rahi hoon." Izzah murmured feeling low all of a sudden.

She was feeling jalan and she wasn't liking a bit of it.

She took few steps forward hoping someone would stop her but no one did. Everyone was busy giving their attention to that Rumi.
