The Unintentional Meet ✔️

29. 3 years later

Inaya's POV

Three Years.. It's been three whole years since i came back. Since i left my life in London. Since.. nano left us from this world.

Yes.. nano left us. When i came back her health already got more deteriorated. The doctor's told us beforehand that there is no hope left now and if possible only a miracle could save her.

I prayed for her to get better day and night. I prayed alot for her. But the laws of nature are absolute. We can't go against them. There was no other option than to accept the truth and pray for her. I'm sure that she's in a better place now.

And i am so glad that i got to meet her for the last time, otherwise i would've spend my whole life in regret of not even seeing her off.

I miss her soo much. There wasn't a single day in these three years when i didn't miss her. She wasn't just my nano, she was my everything. When abu left from this world i was only six and unaware of anything. Ami was in her own grief at that time and i felt so lonely. But nano was there for me. She never made me feel upset and always played with me all while consoling ami too. She was there for both of us. I still remember her words vividly, "Remember i'm not just your nano, but i'm your father, mother, sister and friend." And it was the truth. She was my whole world who has left me alone now.

I was more close to her than ami. She always showered me with all the love. And it's hard to accept the fact that she's no here with us anymore.

These three years were not easy for both ami and me. We had to accept and learn to live without nano. And for months i used to cry myself to sleep as i was missing her so much. Ami was here for me but i needed nano.

As time passed by i consoled myself and busied myself in my studies. I used to stay awake all night studying and even got scolded by ami to take care of my health. But if i didn't busy myself in something, my mind would divert to all the memories with nano and i'd start to cry all again.

I just missed her too much. And not only her, but i missed everyone and everything in London. I've stayed for a year only but London became like a second home to me. I miss those days alot. And my friends, i miss them soo much that i can't even explain. I miss our friendship, our teasings, our laughters.. everything. We all are still in contact and video call each other but obviously living in two different countries with different time zones it's not like that. And at one time i even cut myself off from them. As i was lost in my grief i wanted to cut everyone off from my life. I was numb and didn't liked anything. But my stubborn friends didn't leave me alone. And i can't express how glad i am to have them.

I got better as time went by. I decided to accept and move on. I focused on my studies as well as my health. I've completed the rest of my studies and got a degree in interior designing. I've just completed recently and now i'm focusing towards making my career. I want to be successful so i could make ami proud. And i am sure nano would be happy to see me like this. And in all this ami was my biggest supporter. I know she was hurting too but she kept strong infront of me and consoled me. After nano, she's the most important and precious person in my life.

Along with everything, i didn't forget him. I still remembered him and our every interaction vividly. Along with nano, my friends and london i miss him alot too. Afterall he was also the important part of my life in london and it's impossible to forget him or move on. In these whole years i didn't dare to contact him. I didn't had the guts to do it and i knew that even if i did i would've broke down completely.

But there wasn't a single day when i didn't thought about him. How has he been doing? What is he upto now? Does he still remember me? All these questions lingered in my mind. He didn't contact me too so he must've moved on and forgot about me right?

Only the thought of him moving on and being with someone else aches my heart soo much. But i was the one who suggested to move on in the first place, so i shouldn't act like this. But what can i do? It all just hurts soo much..

"Nano, why did you leave us so soon?" i murmured as i clutched the picture of us closer to my heart. I always talk to her picture and tell her about everything. It's the only way my heart feels a little at rest.

"I need you.. nano i miss you" a sob left my mouth as tears started to run out of my eyes like a river.

"I miss everything.. p-please.. please come back.." i cried clutching the picture tightly.

"Inaya.. beta" ami entered my room and embraced me in a comforting hug as soon as she saw me.

"A-ami.. i miss.. i miss her" i couldn't even speak properly due to crying this much.

"I know beta..i miss her too.. shhh" ami kept rubbing my back and consoling me.

After crying for what felt like hour, i layed my head on ami's lap as she kept running her hand through my hairs in a soothing manner and kissing my forehead.

"Beta stop crying.. your nano would be so hurt to see her lado crying like this hmm.." ami said in a gentle voice.

"Ami why did she leave us so soon?" i sniffled as more tears came out of my eyes.

"Beta everyone has to leave one day. It's all Allah's decisions and we can't go against them no matter what." she kept consoling me and my tears finally stopped after a while.

I slept right there in her lap as i was exhausted after all that crying.

''Aslamalaikum ami" i greeted when i entered the house.

"Walaikumaslam beta, go freshen up i'll prepare the lunch" ami said and i nodded as i went upstairs to change my clothes.

After freshening up, i went downstairs and helped ami in setting up the table.

"How was your day today?" ami asked while we ate.

"It was just normal.." we chatted about random things and what we did today.

After finishing and helping ami clean, i was about to go upstairs to work on my assignment but ami's voice stopped me.

"Inu beta come here" she gestured towards the sofa she was sitting on.

I went near and sat besides her, "Yes ami?"

She smiled and held my hands, "I have something for you"

I frowned and waited for her as she retreated an envelope from the drawer. She gave me the envelope and told me to open it.

"What's this-" i was asking ami while opening the envelope but got stopped when i saw what was in it.

"Ami.." i whispered and looked at her with teary eyes.

She wiped the lone tear that fell from my eyes, "Inu i can't see you like this. You barely smile now, i want to see you happy like before your nano would also want this. That's why i made this decision. Beta, let's go to London."

I stared at the tickets in my hand as i processed her words.

"Ami.. is this true" i asked as i couldn't believe.

"Yes beta, let's go to London and complete your dream. Make both me and your nano proud" she smiled at me.

I hugged her tightly, "Amii i love you soo much!"

She chuckled, "Love you more beta"

Is this really happening? Am i really going back? To my friends? And to him..? Will he be happy? Will he even remember me? What if he moved on? How will i be able to see him with someone else?

All these questions lingered in my mind as i tried to get some sleep.

I just hope whatever happens in future will be good for everyone...
