Mere Humnava

Chapter 16

Amaya's POV

What the hell she just said??
Ibrahim is engaged??
Confusion along with disappointment took all over place at me that time.
" Are you sure?"

" Yes ofcourse, mai apne pyaar ko bhala kaise bhula skti hu. And maine tumhe apna pura naam bhi to nhi bataya, I'm Shivanya Alaamah. Ibrahim ki cousin."
( Yes ofcourse, how can I not recognise the love of my life. And I forgot to tell you my full name. I'm Shivanya Alaamah, Ibrahim's cousin.)

Ibrahim just sighed. He was looking at me all the time when Shivanya spoke about her.

" How can that be? I thought tum hindu ho by your name."
I said as I was really confused that time.
The girl I just met who have a Hindu name turns out to be a Muslim and on top of that she is related to Ibrahim.
( I thought you were hindu because of your name.)

" Tum pehli nhi ho, bht log ko confusion hota hai mera naam aur mere surname se. Actually meri maa hindu hai aur mere baba muslim. They had a love marriage that's why. Also mere baba Ibrahim ke chacha hai."
( You are not the first one to get confused because of my name and my surname.
Actually my mother is a hindu and my father is a muslim. They had a love marriage that's why and also my father is Ibrahim's uncle.)

She smiled while telling me all this.
I gazed at Ibrahim who was giving 'are you done' look to her.

" Pata hai Amaya, mai na isse bachpan se pyaar krti hu jab hame pyaar ka mtlb bhi nhi pata tha. He is the one-"
( You know Amaya. I love him since childhood when we didn't even knew the meaning of love. He is the one-)

" Will you just stop it Shivanya please?"

Ibrahim shouted at her when she gasped while speaking.

I don't know why but I was feeling hurt. Seeing them was making me awkward as well as my eyes welled up.

" Kya ho gya hai? Gussa ho mujhse?"
( What happened? Are you mad at me?)

" Apna ye drama band karo please, mai sirf tumhara cousin hu aur kuch nhi."
( Please stop this nonsense, I'm just your cousin nothing else.)

He said in a rash tone and looked at me with the look of fear.
Maybe he is guilty that why he didn't tell me anything before.
But this time I'm done with him.
He lied to me and didn't stopped flirting with me. I can't take it.
He have to be prepare with a better explanation this time.

" Amaya aisa kuch nhi hai jaisa tum soch rhi ho, ye meri sirf cousin hai-"
( Amaya it's nothing like what you are thinking right now. She is just my cousin.)

" I think mujhe chalna chahiye."
I cut him off with my trembling lips not able to hide my tears.
( I think I should leave.)

" Aree tumhare ghr se koi aaya ya nhi? akeli kaise jaaogi?"
( Have anyone from your family arrived? How will you go on your own?)

" Jise aana chahiye wo aa to gya but galat shaks ke saath."
I faintly smiled before responding.
Ibrahim got my hint and he sighed.
( The one who was supposed to come, came but with a wrong person.)

" What do you mean?"
She asked as she frowned.

" I mean Ibrahim. He is the one who left me there and as I said I came here to attend his sister's wedding."
I said while blinking my eyes a couple of times.

" Small world like literally, by the way Ibrahim tumhe aisa nhi krna chahiye tha. Agar use kuch ho jaata to?"
( Small world like literally, by the way Ibrahim you shouldn't have done that. If something had happened to her then?)

" Mujhe kya krna hai aur kya nhi ye mujhe tumse puchne ki koi zarurat nhi hai."
( I'm not answerable to any of your questions.)

He glared at her but when he turned to me, his eyes softened again.
