"I cannot marry you." She whispered.
My throat went dry and it felt as though someone had slapped me on my face.
Why?
Is it because she is not ready? Does she not like me?She hasn't even looked at me even once since I have entered this room.Do I lo...

"Khalid! You are going to fall if you keep running like that."
That voice! As I turned the corner, the sound of her laughter echoed through the air, and my heart skipped a beat. It was a melody I had been searching for, a voice that had haunted my dreams and mind for what felt like an eternity. And then, I heard it - the soft, husky tone that sent shivers down my spine.
I froze, my eyes scanning the crowded room until they landed on her. Time stood still as our gazes met, the world around us melting away. And I knew in that instant, that I had found her - the one I had been searching for, the missing piece I never knew I needed.
She was kneeling infront of a child who looked no less then 3 years old.Her eyes widened in shock as though she has seen something dreadful. When the realisation hit us both, we quickly looked away as I muttered an Astagfiruallah under my breath.
I looked around and everywhere but not at her. Slowly side eyeing I turned my head to the position where she stood.
Wait what?
Where is she?! No!No!No...It took me seven months to find her I cannot afford to miss her now. My heart and mind had clear feelings for her.
I scanned the area quickly to find atleast a glimpse of her but nothing. Looking around I moved towards the place where she was just a minute ago.
Walking further I started searching the mall as it was clear that she couldn't have left this quickly. But it was hard. Especially when every other women here had the same outfit.
I stumbled on, my search growing more desperate by the minute. But with each passing second, hope seeped out of me like sand between my fingers.
Searching the area for another ten minutes, my eyes scanned the crowds with a growing sense of despair. Finally, exhausted and defeated, I collapsed onto a nearby bench. Burying my face in my hands, the events of the past thirty minutes replayed like a broken record in my mind.
Looking up my glimpse fell on the restaurant infront of me. Seeing that it was the same one that Waqqas had called me to, I walked inside. I searched for him when I spotted him at one of the back corners.
Walking towards the table, I suddenly collided with something, or rather someone. Looking down I spotted a child on the ground. He looked at me, smiled and ran off. Shaking my head him, I walked towards Waqqas when something clicked.
Wait a minute!
That child. He was the same one who I saw with 'Her' in the arcade. Turning around I jogged in the direction the kid went to. Suddenly I spotted him with a man. The man seemed to be scolding the child when someone came and stood behind the child.
It was 'Her'!
She picked up the child in her arms and pointed at the man as though threatening him. It looked playful from here.
