That's Just How Life Goes!!

Chapter 15

Mahi POV

" I know my apology will mean nothing now. But still, I am sorry. I am really really sorry. For whatever happened because of me. I never wanted to hurt you or anyone. Trust me . But somehow I ended up breaking a beautiful family. I am so sorry. Please forgive me. I am living with this guilt for all these years . Please relieve me of this guilt."
She said joining her hands in front of me.
I cupped her hands and gave her water to drink because she was crying alot.
We met at the theatre and she requested to talk to me. I agreed not getting any excuse.
So we came in this nearby cafe after I bid bye to my friends and family while she asked her friend to take care of her son.

" Look , Arsalan told me your situation and I understand. Everyone has to be selfish at some point of time in life to survive. I know you had lost your husband and brother then your brother in law was trying to snatch your baby who was the only hope to live your life. I would have helped you with all I could. But I am not that great to give away my husband whom I loved at that time. I don't blame you. You were thinking about yourself and your baby. You were clear about your priorities. It was Arsalan who erred. He couldn't make me and my babies his priority. You are somewhere responsible for that failed marriage, yes, but remember a third person can destroy your marriage only when the couple allows him/her to. In our case, Arsalan himself brought you in our marriage. He might have had good intentions but he forgot that a marriage can never survive with a third person involved ."
" And I forgive you if that's what you want to hear. I forgive you because I am content with my life. And I wish you the same. "
I said and she smiled at me which I returned .

We sat in comfortable silence for a few minutes until she broke it.
" I never got a chance to talk to you and know you before so I always wondered how you must be that everyone was devastated by your absence. Now I understand. You really are special. "
I smiled" Everyone is special for their family especially daughters. Daughters enjoy alot more privilege then boys . It used to be the case with me and my brother and it's the same with my babies. Zain loves both of them alot but he is just a little bit biased when it comes to Hania." I said laughing abit.
She looked on confused. So I cleared.
" My twins . Hania and Zayan."
She smiled.

I saw her hesitating before she started
" Uhh ... I know I am no one to say this but I just want you to know. All these
Years , there's nothing between me and Arsalan. We have no relationship. We don't even talk. No physical, emotional or even financial relation. Nothing at all. If we leave someday he won't even know . "
I looked away first and after composing myself
" first of all , what happens or not between you both is none of my concern now. I was affected all those years ago but now I am over it . Yeah it's wierd to talk about this. And if you are telling me all this because you think I would ever get back with him then do not entertain that thought ever again. He is my past and I have no intention of revisiting that past. "

" I don't know what to say to you. But I just want to try from my end to assuage my guilt of separating you. You might be thinking why he didn't divorce me till now. Then trust me he might have even forgotten about us. He was so involved in all your memories and searching you that he didn't have time to think about anything else. " She said again.
" I understand you want to do good but trust me it's not what I want anymore. Well, my kids must be waiting for me. I will leave now. " I stood up saying that.
She sighed and stood up as well.
" I am sorry if you felt offended.
It was nice talking to you. I wish you all the best for your life. " She said smiling
" I wish you the same " I said smiling in return.
