Love Obsession {Completed}

The Weight of Betrayal

It was mealtime, and all the women were busy preparing the food. Aqeel was sitting in the hall with Faiza's paternal family, while Fardan and Adil were in a room, engaged in conversation.

"I’ve made up my mind. I’m going to end all my enmity. I want to spend all my time with Faiza and Ayesha now. I want to leave everything else behind and just focus on Dad's colleges," Fardan said seriously to Adil.

"But why, brother?" Adil asked in surprise.

"Because Faiza asked me to forgive, and you know I can never deny her anything," Fardan replied with a smile.

"But brother, why are you letting him go so easily after what he did?" Adil questioned.

"Whatever he did, I’ve done far worse. The most unjust things I did were to Faiza," Fardan said regretfully. Faiza, who had come inside to call them for food, stopped in her tracks when she heard her name.

"But brother, you should stop remembering the past now," Adil said, trying to console him.

"I'm deeply ashamed, Adil. I don’t know what I was thinking when I decided to take revenge on Faiza for what Furqaan did. Furqaan wronged me, and in my thirst for revenge, I kept pursuing Faiza. I hated her so much that all I wanted was her destruction," Fardan said sadly.

"But brother, how could you have known that Furqaan had abandoned his own daughter?" Adil tried to comfort him.

"But in my quest for revenge, I did so many terrible things to her. I deceived her by pretending to be someone else... I had someone follow her to find out where she was going... I kept a constant watch on her... I even got Rumaisa involved, using her friendship to spy on Faiza. I’m deeply ashamed of everything. Even if I ask for forgiveness over and over, I know I won’t deserve it," Fardan's eyes filled with tears.

Faiza was shocked by everything she had heard. She started to question whether the love and affection Fardan had shown her was just a deception. She ran to her room, crying. She couldn’t believe that this was the same Fardan who had promised to stay with her. She began to doubt Fardan's love. Just last night, they had built a bond of trust. She had been so happy to have shared her deepest thoughts with him, but now she regretted it. She wished she hadn’t said anything and had stayed away from him.

**************************************

Zehra had arranged Rumaisa's marriage to a wealthy man, but she herself was unaware of who he was.

Today was the wedding, but since this was a deal Zehra had made, the plan was to carry out the nikah quietly and then send her off. This was why no one was informed about Rumaisa's marriage.

Rumaisa herself was still consumed with the thought of how to escape this marriage. She could have run away from home to save herself from being sacrificed in this deal, but she didn’t because she was bound by the promise her father had made.

When Ayesha came to call Faiza for food, Faiza composed herself with great difficulty, wiped her tears, and went downstairs.

Everyone was engrossed in conversation while eating, but Fardan’s eyes were fixed only on Faiza, who was staring at her food without taking a single bite. Fardan was deeply concerned for her and, unable to eat himself, kept watching her every move.

"What's going on? Why aren’t you two eating?" Azra asked, noticing their behavior, causing both of them to awkwardly look at each other.

Neither knew how to face the other. Fardan was ashamed of the injustices he had committed against Faiza, while Faiza was struggling to cope with the fresh wound of betrayal.

After the meal, everyone was sitting in the hall waiting for tea. Faiza was making tea when Fardan approached her.

"Is everything okay?" Fardan asked with concern.

"You tell me, Shehri... is everything okay?" Faiza replied, trying to hold back her tears.

"Did something happen? Are you hiding something from me?" Fardan asked, not understanding her words.

"What if I asked you the same question?" Faiza countered, causing Fardan to become even more confused by her behavior.

"What could I possibly hide from you?" Fardan asked with a smile, but he knew he was hiding a lot, afraid of losing her if he told the truth.

Before Faiza could say anything, the tea began to boil over, so she hurriedly took it and went to the hall. Fardan tried several times to talk to Faiza alone, but she was always with someone.

"Hadi bhai, you said you would help me whenever I needed it," Faiza said, sitting with Hadi and Sadia in her room.

"Yes, but why are you making this decision?" Hadi asked.

"Please, brother, just listen to me this once. Don’t ask me any questions. I need to leave. Please. Send me somewhere far away, so far that he can never reach me," Faiza pleaded with her brother.

Hadi began making arrangements to send Faiza somewhere far away. For the first time, Faiza had asked for something, and Hadi quietly helped her escape. Like Fardan, Hadi also belonged to a wealthy family, so it was easy for him to send Faiza away. Hadi used money to hide Faiza’s whereabouts. No matter how much Fardan searched for her, he would never find her.

When Fardan came to the room to talk to Faiza, she was already gone. On the bed were the phone Fardan had given her and the diary they had used during their "Shehri and Fiza" act.

Fardan quickly opened the diary, smiling as he flipped through the pages of old memories, until his hand stopped at the last page. He stared at it in shock.

Shehri,

I know everything you and Rumaisa did to me. I don’t know what wrong my father did to you that made you hate me so much and think of taking revenge, but I will fulfill your wish now. I will go so far away that you will never be able to find me. I had no relationship with my father; he didn’t even like me. But you used me to hurt him, and you’re probably still under that same delusion, hating me. I have forgiven you for everything you did to me, but I want you to never try to find me. By the time you read this, I will be far away. I’m leaving with nothing of yours except the bitter memories.

Faiza.

Fardan dropped the book in shock. His head began to spin. After a few moments, when he regained his composure, he started searching every room for Faiza, but she was already gone.
