Entangled

Chapter 11

Asha POV:

Next time when I woke up....I was laying on bed
with IV attached to my hands.....Looking at my hands....Henna adorning them beautifully......looks like a mocking game of fate....that.
I, in my right mind will never play.....no one will....

I was empty.....feeling like there is nothing inside me....no tears..no sobs will undo what's done......I was getting grip of myself....when I saw my mother entering in room...

Author pov:

Abhiha entered into room......saw Asha staring at window...lost in thought.....never in her life she felt this nervous .....the panic attack Asha had just few minutes ago was severe one .....she feared that this might happened again....

She sat on the edge of bed and pull Asha towards herself....

Feeling a pull she looked at her mother blankly and put her head on her lap ....

She started caressing her hairs.....

."Asha....jo may abb kehnay ja rahi hun....I know it's very hard to accept.....but yeh faisla hum nay tumhari bhalai soch kr he Kia hai..

yeh k ik problem ki wajha say tumhara abb yahan rehna safe nhi hai...may tumharay baba...Abdullah uncle or Asma aunty.. yeh chahtay hain k tumhara nikkah ajj he ho......She waited a little.

.....Azlaan say...."

Asha shut her eyes tightly...her grip on her bed sheet tighten...turning her knuckles white....She breath heavily.....Abhiha paused noting any symptoms of change.....Seeing no signs of panic attack...she exhaled a relief breath....continuing....

"kesay hua...kyun hua is ka jawab Arsh he day skta hai..or wohi jawab daiga....but think about it Asha.... It's for your own good..... and trust us....please"...she pleaded in the end...her own eyes were wet due to tears..

After silence......Asha sat up...looking.....with grief and disbelief in her eyes.

"Hum say kaha gaya....Shaadi krlo.....Hum nhi krna chahtay thay...lkn app ki pasand pr yaqeen kr k hum nay kuch na kaha...Humay larkay say milwaya gaya..jb sb teh krliya....tb humay kaha gaya k yahi humaray Haq may behtr hai...Hum nay maan liya....Hum nay yaqeen kiya .....ussay mhbt krna hum nay apna farz smjha...jb mhbt krli...jb duniya ka itna haseen ehsaas hum say mehsoos krwa liya app sb nay toh cheen kyun liyaaaa".....she shouted at the end of sentence.....

"kyun cheena"

She grabbed Abhiha hand tightly....demanding answers.... "Why did you snatch it...Why?... abb ik chala gaya toh dusray ko sonp rahay hain.....  kuch toh socha hota bolnay say pehlay.... maa hain na app humari".....she again shouted....asking..... demanding...crying.....

she snapped the IV from her hand....letting blood wet the white sheets........she lifted her heavy lehnga and ran towards the door.......The door didn't budge......she looked at Abhiha with disbelief......

"Maa....kesay krskti hain app esa ..kholain issay.....humay Dad say baat krni hai"......... with shaky breath and shrill voice, every cell of her being were agonizing over this act of heartlessness.

She looked at sobbing Abhiha who whispered...

No....

who could stay strong after witness her precious daughter who were stronger than any of her brothers....this weak.. this vulnerable....

"Dont do this"......she started hitting door the sound of thuds and agonizing calls was enough to shake every corner of mansion.......breaking all the glass Bangals injuring herself.
