Infatuated Desire

Luring Him

"What made Laraib Ali Shah remember an unworthy person like me after five years? Can I know?"

His hand stopped for a moment after listening to the familiar voice, he raised his head and gazed at the girl who smiled in a different style.

"I just missed my old friend so I called him to meet with him."

Putting her mobile on the table she looked at him who was seated on the chair in front of her.

"As far as I remember we aren't friends at all."

Putting his keys and goggles on the table he scoffed at her. And then he glanced at his surroundings.

Right now they were present in a fancy hotel of the city. It was always the favorite spot of luxurious people like them.

"If not friends but we were crime partners. And you can't deny this fact."

Placing her elbows on the table she winked at him. On her saying, this time Aazal didn't stop smiling at her.

"Now that's right, partner."

Now she sat leaning back on the chair and signaled the waiter to come near her.

"So tell me how's life going on of our Sanam Aazal in these past five years, what are her conditions?"

Giving the order to the waiter, now she completely became attentive to him. While on her reminding, Aazal nerves constricted and she can clearly feel that.

"Still today she is Sanam Ibrahim Khan. I'm still there where I was five years ago."

He laid a punch on the table and everyone present there glanced at him.

"What do you mean? I didn't get you."

Ignoring his glaring, she inquired him. Upon her asking, Aazal took a long breath and started telling her everything. On his revelation, Laraib's facial expressions were changing.

"After that incident, her mother sent her abroad for studies and now when she came back after five years I wanted to gain her through her father but she ran again."

On the remembrance of Sanam, Aazal anger again rose. As still, he didn't know any whereabouts of her.

"Despite doing all this we were left empty-handed. On the one side, you can't take Sanam for himself and I can't gain Asfand despite gaining him."

She smiled bitterly. After listening to her, now it was Aazal turn to become astonished.

"Now you make me understand because since the beginning I can't decipher the meaning behind whatever you say."

He took the glass of juice which was recently brought by the waiter to his lips.

"You mean in one year I got married, got a child, and divorced? The reason for my coming back here is only my son. I came here to snatch him when Asfand snatched that opportunity from me."

His hold on her mobile tightened.

"You were left empty-handed but I will not let to same happen to me."

Understanding the whole matter, with an evil smile that appeared on his face he was telling her getting enjoyed.

"And what do you think Laraib Ali Shah is the one who sat silently."

She said arching her brow at him.

On her asking, Aazal merely shook his neck to answer her.

"Those which don't belong to Laraib Ali Shah she just snatched it and make it her own."

She was telling him with a proud as if telling him something good.

"You don't worry I came now. I will also help you in finding that Sanam."

She smiled cleverly and Aazal also smiled at her assurance.

*******

"Can you lend me a few minutes of your precious time, because I have something important to talk about?"

She was sitting on the bed waiting for him to get free from his work as was busy on the laptop doing his office-related work.

But his work doesn't seem to be ending any time soon.

For some moments, she kept on waiting for him to get free but when her waiting was getting increased then she got irritated and slide down from the bed and came to him standing near him.

"If you want to talk about Aashir then I have enough time. Tell me, what do you want to say?"

Taking his eyes off the laptop he glanced at her. She was looking alluring to him in the dark green plain cotton suit.

He immediately scolds his heart and masks his expressions.

"No, I want to talk about myself. I mean about us."

She has immediately said to him before he diverted his attention from her.

"As far as I know there's nothing to talk about as there's not any such relationship between us. I already told you this so it will be better to not waste my time on your useless matter."

Saying coldly, he again leaned on his laptop.

"No, today you have to listen to me. Asfand, just for once listen to me. After that, I will demand nothing from you."

In one go, she snatched his laptop from the table. Whenever she tried to talk with him he always used to harshly jerk her away.

But now Sanam can't tolerate his hatred for herself anymore. She wanted to tell him the truth after that whether he believes in her or not but she just wants to lighten the burden of her heart.

"What are you doing this Sanam? Give me back my laptop."

With a harsh scowl on his face, he stood up and moved towards her.

"First you have to listen to me. Asfand I am your wife. Just for once, listen to me."

With a pleading tone, she requested him. As her voice was mixed with tears in her eyes.

"You are my wife till Laraib is here. And when I get custody of my son after that our ways will be parted. You can certainly take divorce from me."

Without thinking and considering anything, he harshly said it to her and rushed to her to snatch his laptop from her. But Sanam was quick to decipher his movement and she moved two steps back.

"No Asfand, we first parted because of my silliness but now without knowing the truth, I can't let you this mistake. I don't have any mistake in what I did six years before, I was forced to do this."

Saying hurriedly she kept on moving back seeing him coming closer to her.

"Now I am not interested in knowing whatever you were before six years. Sanam, you just nicely give me back my laptop otherwise it will not be good for you."

Glaring at her with furious eyes, he sternly said to her.

His nerves popping out were clearly indicating him in a state of rage.

"Asfand, you don't know what happened with me back then. How much worse circumstances I was going through and the one who is responsible for it is La....."

Her sentence left midway when he just jumped on her and like a snatching, he was about to grab his laptop from her but Sanam was not ready for this attack.

And to save herself from him as she was backing away she can't maintain her balance and she has to grab him by his collar to prevent herself from falling.

But along with her Asfand also fell on bed on the top of her. It all happened so suddenly that they both couldn't hold themselves from falling.

Asfand was on top of her holding Sanam by her wrist. And the laptop fell on the bed by slipping from Sanam's hand.

"Asfand please, just try to listen to me for once."

Sanam again tried to convince him to make him listen to her but Asfand tightening hold on her wrist stopped her from uttering another word.

On his harshness, a whimper escaped from Sanam's mouth.

"Don't say a single word anymore..... What do you think I will turn a blindfold and believe in your other lie....no, it will not happen again."

He bitterly said to her. But seeing tears in her eyes because of his harsh words, Asfand's heart fluttered and becomes restless.

He was still leaning on her staring into her eyes. They both were forgetting about their current position and the way they were lying on each other as both were deeply lost in each other.

Both faces were quite close to each other that they can feel the breathing of one another on their faces.

"For once, Asfi just believe in your Sanam the one whom you deeply loved."

Very softly, she put her other hand on his cheek and caressed him. With a hopeful look, she was staring into his eyes.

"Just for once, listen to your heart which used to beat for me."

Her hand was traveling from his cheek to his broad chest and stopped right on his heart. Both heartbeats were moving unevenly. To Asfand, it felt like if he kept on staring at her like that then he will forget the rest of everything.

But he doesn't want to forget that quickly the pain she gave him. On the trajectory of love, it was she who left him midway.

And he can't forgive her like that.

"I already told you, don't waste your time. I'm not going to believe in whatever you say."

He said standing up straightly. He picked up the laptop lying near her and went back to his seat.

While Sanam for a long time kept lying in that position and glaring at the roof.
