Memories We Hold Together

"Hope"

"Please! Gul don't say it, I dont want to listen." As he was pleading her,

and the call got cut.

This time Rehan was hurt by her words.

Gul looked at the phone screen with shocked eyes, She threw the phone on the bed with all her might,

This time she's also angry with her actions.

"What do you want? Gul!" Heard a grunting voice from within,

She sat on the bed breathing deeply.

He was waiting for the signal to open, when his eyes fell on a strange person sitting on the sidewalk,

Covering his whole body with a shawl, [ a blanket of sort] he was searching for something with trembling hands.

Hisham was looking at him with surprise.

"What is he doing!?" looking at him he thought,

At first Hisham did not understand anything, but as soon as the man took out the injection from his pocket, he understood.

Hisham turned his head away from pity.

The first thought that came to him was Rehan, because he is also a drug addict.

He did not want to think, but these thoughts were not leaving him,

I have to do something as soon as possible otherwise Rehan's condition will be worse.

These thoughts were enough to break his heart.

"I have very little time! I have to do something as soon as possible, I can't sit like this now."

He was thinking when the signal opened and he droved away.

Once again, she was sitting holding a pen in her hand, she was pening down her thoughts, on that paper,

"Gul, what's the problem? Why are you so confused? Why do you say things that you don't want to say? On one side, you say you don't love him, and on the other, you are reciting poems of love to him? "

Her mind was racing.

"And you married Rehan only to remove the burden from your father's shoulders then what's all this?"

She was badly stuck in her own thoughts.

"I don't know! I am very confused, what do I want? What am I talking about? Why am I talking? What am I doing? Why am I doing it? Uffff! God, I don't understand anything!"

Things seemed to be getting out of hand,

Taking a deep breath she tried to calm her thoughts.

"I just know one thing! I want Rehan's trust! No matter how, I don't know how but I want his trust."

There was a lot of faith in the tone.

"Why do you need his trust....." a voice came from inside.

"It's because . . . " She stopped.

"I want to cure Rehan. I know that he's not a bad person. Only the drugs have become a hindrance."

"But why all this?! Why the need for so much effort?"

While you can leave him easily..."
