Mannat p.o.v
Looking at my reflection in the mirror , I couldn't help but feel a wave of depression wash over me . The person staring back at me appeared exhausted , her eyes heavy with unshed tears . How could I have been so blind ? I've decided to make our marriage work , hoping we could overcome the obstacles that stood in our way .But today , as I gazed at my reflection , I realised it was futile .
Zunaid's love for his first wife , My sister , would always be stronger than his love for me, no actually he doesn't even have any kind of feeling for me. It didn't matter how much I tried ; I could never compete with the memories they shared , the history they had built together . Standing there in front of the mirror , I felt like a stranger to myself . Who was this woman who had been so desperate for love that she had willingly accepted second place in her own marriage ? I had sacrificed my happiness , my identity , all in the vain .
But now , I am done . I couldn't keep living a lie , pretending that things were okay when they weren't . The question that haunted me was : should I give up ? Should I walk away from this marriage that had brought me nothing but pain and disappointment ? It was a terrifying thought , but I knew it was the right one. I couldn't spend the rest of my life vying for Zunaid's affections , constantly comparing myself to my sister . I deserved better than that, Zubi deserved better , she should not be brought up in a traumatic environment where her parents fought like cats and dogs.
As I pondered these thoughts , tears streamed down my face .
Since that day I have refused to talk to Zunaid. He doesn't want to give me a place in his heart , So be it .
" Mama ! " I turned around at the Zubi voice who was playing on the bed .
" Yes Baby " I went to her with a tired smile
" Mum.. mum" I smiled at her way of asking for water .
Bringing the bottle closer to her mouth , she sip her water slowly .
I cannot leave her…. She deserves a mother….
Are you again becoming a selfish Mannat ?? I look at my doppelganger at the edge of the bed .
Shocked and scared, I stood up immediately .
" I - I am not " I defended myself .
" Ha ha ha " she laughed, falling her head back .
" Liar " she seethed angrily .
" I am not !"
" You are … you wanted to escape from this prison but forgot that you have a child's life on your hand " I glanced at playing , Zubi a tear slipping from my eyes .
" I know, " I whispered .
" So how can you be so selfish leaving her? Do you really want her to grow up without a mother ?" ..
Her questions made me speechless …
" No " I whisper as the woman in front of me fades…
In the dinner…
I didn't went downstairs first I didn't have appetite second I didn't wanted to see those three people face , who despise me the most .
Suddenly a plate appeared in front of me . I look at the owner and my eyes immediately look away . I don't know why but now it feels so wrong to even look at his face .
" You haven't eaten since morning , eat something " He sat beside me , his face filled with concern .
I sit a little far , his body stiff at my behavior.
What? He wants it right ?
" Mannat " he called out but I just stared at the floor , the design of the tiles were more interesting .
" Mannat I am-" ..
'' I want to go home " before he could say anything I demanded straight directly into his eyes .
" Wh-. But why ?" He was genuinely confused .
" I want to go home, " I repeated without explaining .
" No !" He immediately stood up .
I frown " but why not ?''
" N- no just why do you want to go , I cannot go with you right now " he shutted yet his voice held anger .
" I am not asking you to go with me , I want to go home. '' I stood up too .
I don't know why but his refusal made me really angry .
" Zubi needs you " he gave an excuse .
" I am taking her with me " I cross my arms.
My frown deepen , his face look so distraught but why.
He stayed quiet, trying to find a reason .
" I cannot stay away from Zubi, " he said after a while .
" You sometimes don't even meet her for weeks ! Are you serious? I WANT TO MEET MY MOM AND DAD ZUNAID , ARE YOU REALLY WANT ME TO STAY HERE AND BEAR YOUR INSULTS AND YOUR AUNT ?". I shouted at the top of my lung and he looked really taken aback, so was I .
What the hell is wrong with me ??....
Am I really becoming the old Mannat ?
