JUNOON || جنون

| 25 |

Her love for Shahzaib is all consuming, it has consumed her whole. Leaving no part unscathed. Shahzaib. He was the one who held her through her nightmares for the first time. He was the one who cared for her. Who respects her and her decision. No matter how stubborn or rash she is he always stood with her, throughout the month.

A month to their marriage, obviously they argued,they fought but still at the end of the day he was hers.

Her husband.

Whenever the insecurity tries to creep onto her soul, she remembers her last encounter with him.

Junoon ho tum mera. Yaad rakhna.

Apni zindagi main kuch kyu na kho lu, tumhe nahi khona chahta

Why does he leave her awestruck with every word he speaks? Why does he hold so much importance in her life? Maybe because he was the first one to care for her,selflessly. Throughout her life she has seen and went through the worst of pain.

Shahzaib?

He was the peace in her messy life. She didn't know that she would fall in love with her arranged husband who is potentially the one she hated. A month or two early if someone told her this she would have admitted them to a mental hospital.

Junoon ho tum mera. Yaad rakhna.

His reassuring voice soothes her burning soul. Will he accept her if he knows her past? The past which snatched her dreams, her will, her respect. Will he? She has always been alone, lonely but he? Shahzaib always has been the rays of sunlight which lightens her dark world.

She is a dark night while he is a warm morning.

"Urwa beta?"

Ayesha's voice snapped her out of her thoughts.

"Jii Maa"

Urwa responded, turning towards her.

"Abeeha ko uske kamare main yeh kapde de aao"

Ayesha spoke, handing her the clothes.

"Kapde?"

Urwa questioned, confused.

Ayesha smiled and spoke

"Woh ek fashion designer ban rahi hai. Usse silai (sewing) ka bohot shauk hai. gaon main stitch karne ke liye ek se badh ke ek kapde milte hai, woh aapne practice ke liye yaha se raw material leke jaati hai''

Why would someone use raw material from a village rather than a well known city? Urwa nodded her head nonetheless and turned to leave but Ayesha spoke

"Api ko sone se pehle doodh de dena unhe raat main sone se pehle doodh peene ki aadat hai"

Urwa nodded her head.

Sikandaro ka alag hi shauk hai.

First of all making her way towards Abeeha's room she knocked the door lightly. Hearing a small 'come in' she entered the room. She saw Abeeha sitting on the bed, while all her sketches were sprawled on the bed.

Abeeha froze seeing her.

Urwa went towards the table and placed the clothes on it and questioned normally

"Maa ne kaha tha ki tum fashion designer ho?"

Abeeha looked at her. Why has she come into her room? Was taking Shahzaib less?

"Haa"

Abeeha responded, coldly. She snatched something which was meant to be hers, but was never hers.
