(Listen to "Zarorat" from movie Ek Villian)


"Assalamualaikum..."

Author's POV

When he heard her sweet voice after a long time, his heart stopped for a second, but he tried to remain calm and said, "Walaikum Assalam, who's this?"

Aira's tears were not stopping for a second, and she said, "Ahmed... it's Aira, your Aira."

Hearing her say "your Aira" made Ahmed's heart heavy, and he responded, "My Aira? You were never mine."

"Ahmed, please listen to me. Zoya was not lying, Ahmed. I'm in so much pain... you wanted me to confess, now I'm confessing. Yes, I... I love you, Ahmed. I've loved you from the start. My heart is craving for you. Please, Ahmed, come back to me. My appa is fixing my marriage with a stranger. I can't marry a person I don't love. I have only loved you in my life. I can't think of another man. Please ease my heart. I'm dying without you, and I'm living every second in regret and pain," she started to cry in sobs, and it was also tearing at Ahmed's heart, but he didn't show his weak side to her and said, "Don't play with my heart, Aira. Now that you are in difficulty, you remember me and need me? How selfish are you to only think of me now? What about all the times you weren't there when I needed you?"

She was hiccuping while crying, "I'm sorry.... I'm sorry. I ca... I can apologize to you for everything my... whole life... Please--" He couldn't bear it anymore; his heart started to ache again, and he abruptly ended the call, throwing his phone against the wall aggressively, yet filled with pain.

Aira started to cry so loud that her sobs echoed through the night. As tears streamed down her face, she felt as though she had poured out all her pain and despair. Exhausted from crying, she eventually surrendered everything to her faith, placing her trust in her Rab. Despite feeling abandoned and misunderstood, even by the one who claimed to love her, she resolved to move forward and accept her fate, resigned to marry without anyone truly understanding her plight.

On the other hand, it was Tahajjud time, and Ahmed hadn't slept the whole night due to his headache and an unknown pain in his heart, which had also given up on everything, overwhelmed by the pain he was enduring. He performed his ablution and spread his prayer mat, offered Nafal prayer. After completing the Nafal prayer, he fell into prostration and began to cry, saying,

"Ohh My Allah, please, what is going on with me? Why can't I trust anyone? I don't know who is lying... Please ease my heart, show me the right path, please. I've lost hope in everything. Please, if she is really in pain, then ease her heart and give her all the love she deserves. I'm a very bad person; I don't deserve her. If what she said was true, and she has gone through so many trials, then please help her... I can't ask her from you because I don't deserve her. She is so much better than me; she deserves someone better. Yallah, you know I still love her; only you know that. I still love her and I can't think of anyone else but her. But Yallah, I'm tired, I'm so tired of explaining my love to her. Please, I can't tell her how much I love her and how much my heart craves for her since I first saw her in my childhood. I know childhood love is just saying, but there is something between us that I can't describe; only you know that. So many years we spent together; it's as if she is a part of my soul. But still, she deserves someone better. Please give her a man who can love her so she can forgive me and be happy in her life. I just want her happiness and nothing else for me. Please make it easy for her. You are Gafoor ur Raheem."
