Laazawaal Mohabbat

Chapter 34 : The Final Goodbye (?)

“This tastes actually nice.” - Arbaaz commented as they entered the park nearby while eating icecream.

“Told you.” - Zunera said smiling smugly.

“You know Zooni... this place is special for me.” - he said. His gaze fixed on a bench. “When you had returned to Ajmer from the wedding without informing, I had looked out for you in every cafe of the city. But when I couldn't get you, the restlessness brought me here.” - he told her with a smile.

“Here ?” - she asked with a slight frown but smiling nonetheless.

“Yup. This was the bench I had been sitting on when a baby blue dupatta fell on my face.” - he said and her eyes widened in realization. “Yes. The night when I found you running from a goon. Now that I think of it, I realize that it wasn't my restlessness that got me here. It was destiny.”

She smiled warmly at him.

“This place is special for me as well.” - she said, causing him to raise a brow in askance. “You confessed your love for me here that night.” - she whispered.

His handsome face broke into a wide smile and he bumped his nose with hers affectionately.

But the mention of that night reminded her something and she decided to ask.

“I am surprised my uncle has not bothered me after that. He also gave away the apartment without any... ruckus. How ?” - she frowned.

“Because he is in jail at the moment.” - Arbaaz replied calmly.

She stared at him in shock at that revelation.

“Your uncle was directly involved in illegal businesses. And that's what I used against him to get the apartment. I put forth the condition to either give away the flat or go to jail. So he agreed on the first option.” - he told her shrugging.

“But you sent him to jail anyways...” - she commented. Her tone slightly teasing.

“Well... currently he is in jail because he was declared your official guardian by your parents in case something happens to them but he left you in an orphanage. Tried to took over the apartment which was yours. I couldn't let him go for THAT.” - he said. His eyes blazing.

Her heart melted yet again. Every time she thought he couldn't love her more than he already does, he broke his own record.

“I'm seriously warning you to stop crying.” - he said noticing her moist eyes, his tone authoritative that changed the atmosphere and her mood in an instant.

He took the remaining icecream from her hands and threw both hers and his into the garbage.

“Arreyy!” - she gasped. “It was my fav-”

She stopped mid-sentence when he held her by the waist and dragged her towards a tree. Her sharp intake of breath rang in the silence of the park as he pinned her against the tree trunk.

“Do you know what they say about being under a tree at night ?” - she whisper-asked, her tone full of mischief.

“Mmhmm... that a witch would take control over you.” - he whispered back while putting aside her hair from her neck.

“So... aren't you scared ?”

“No. Because I already am under control of a fairy.” - he replied making her chuckle. “But the problem is, the fairy is getting used to breaking her promises. So I'm thinking to be strict with her.” - his voice was barely audible. Thick with desire.

Her cheeks reddened. Both at his words and his tone. And the intense look in his eyes didn't help either.

“I am sor-”
