Mahi- A shattered soul

18. Love Sick Birdiee

Mahi's Pov:

I don't know what comes in my mind but when he said that I can never
be a burden on him and after listening to his comforting words which I
really needed to hear from someone.
Not gonna lie, I want to hear these words from my parents.
I want them to say these things to me but unfortunately.....

I couldn't stop myself from kissing him on cheeks.
At that moment I felt like this person who is sitting infront of me is the most precious thing God ever gave me.

Till the day before my wedding I used to consider Rabia as a precious thing which is gifted by God to me.
I used to say to her that you are the reward of my good deeds Rabia.

In emotions I peck his cheeks and
put my head on his shoulder.
He turn his head towards me.
He patted my head.
"Let's go. We should go back now. Kal subah wapas jaana h" he said.
(We had to return tomorrow)
I hummed in response and got up while wiping my tears.

Time skip
Next day

We woke up early as it's our last day here.
I turn around to have a last look of the room in which we were living till now.
We sat inside the car and reached airport.
Soon the plane is going to take off.
My heart starts beating fast.
I felt someone holding my hand.
It's him.
He remember I feel scare so he held my hand.
Plane takes off.
I am looking outside the window thinking about my life.
How my life turns upside down!
I sighed.
I turn my face, he's sleeping soundly.
He must be tired afterall he took care of me through our entire trip.

Somewhere I feel guilty too.
Guilt of ruining his life.
He has to tolerate me, but still he is not misbehaving.
"Ye kaisi azmaaish hai mere Allah"
(O God! What kind of test you are taking)

Soon we reached Lucknow.
"Huff! Wapas aake ajnabi sa lagra hai ye sheher" Saif said.
(It feels strange after coming back)

"Muskuraiye ke aap nawabon ke sheher Lucknow me hain" I said while laughing.
(Smile, as you are in the city of Nawabs Lucknow)

"Nahi aap hi muskuraiye aap muskurati huyi mujhse zyada pyari lagti hain" he said.
"Aisa nahi hai aap bhi pyare lagte hain" I said.
"Muskurate huye ya bina muskurae bhi pyaara lagne laga hun" he said in a teasing tone.
"Pata nahi" I replied.
"Achaaaaa to aapko pata nahi" he said

We rang the bell.
A maid opened the door.
We directly entered in living room where aunty, Zohair bhai and Huma aapi were sitting.
Nusrat Aunty looked at us surprisingly because we came back without informing.
She came and collect both of us in a hug.

She kissed Saif's forehead then mine.
"Why you both didn't inform us
that you are coming back today?
I thought you will come back with a mini version of you" Huma aapi said teasingly.
"Yeah It's been almost a month so we thought you will come back with my niece or nephew" Zohair bhai said.
"Shut up" Saif said while blushing.
Gosh, why is he blushing!?
The hell I myself is blushing too.

"Ok enough, they must be tired. Go and freshen up. Let's have dinner together" Nusrat aunty said.

We had dinner while talking about random things.
Then we decided to watch a movie together.
Saif's father is not here. He went to Mumbai to attend some business meeting.

I, Nusrat aunty and Saif are trying to decide which movie should we watch.
While Zohair bhai went to the kitchen for bringing snacks.
Saif already dimmed the light of the living room.
It's almost 12:30 at night.
Suddenly the bell rang.
A shiver ran down my spine.
Yup, I am a lil darpok.
I get scared of even slightest voice.
