Broken desires

28: He finally realized his true feelings...

Then one day, she took him to see her mother, who was hospitalized, and introduced him as her fiancé. Her mother was overjoyed to hear this because she was so worried for her. However, this news worked as a form of blackmail on him, and he promised her mother that he would take good care of her.

It wasn't until a week had passed since that day that her mother died. The pain of losing her mother made her forget her longing for marriage. But he had not forgotten his promise, and in his eyes, she was his first love, for which he had waited for two years.

One month after her mother's death, he brought her to this bungalow and informed her that shortly after, a Maulvi and some of his close friends would come to perform their marriage ceremony.

At first, she was in a state of shock. On one hand, her heart warned her that he was in love with someone else, and by marrying him, she would ruin her life. On the other hand, her mind tried to convince her that this was her last chance to change her destiny.

He was no ordinary person; he was the son of a noble father who seemed to love her. Denying this marriage would mean ruining her destiny with her own hands.

She struggled for a moment in the battle between her heart and mind. But for her, it was the mind that decided. Even that day, her mind won the battle over her heart. And just a few hours later, she became Mrs. Huzaifa Mueez.

After the marriage, he fulfilled her every small and big wish in the blink of an eye. It wasn't that she had never experienced luxury before, but for the first time in her life, she realized there was more to life than meets the eye.

It was as if he had opened the door to a new world for her, but she was becoming more anxious with each passing day because she was realizing that he was slowly moving away from her.

One night, she became convinced of this when she heard him calling out another woman's name in his sleep.

It was not that she was in love with him, and now it hurt her heart to hear him call someone else's name, but now he was her husband who had voluntarily signed the marriage papers. She couldn't bear to see him in love with someone else.

She stared at him silently, saddened by the thought, when she noticed the light of a mobile screen on her side table. Turning her face away from him, she picked up the mobile. Seeing the name on the screen, she was consumed by jealousy. Despite this, she felt conflicted about what she should do.

The mobile was his, which she had placed silently on her side table the previous night to avoid disturbing his sleep. But now, seeing Moomal's name, she was so enraged that she desperately wanted to answer the call and, by telling her about their marriage, hurt her as much as she was being hurt every day because of her.

She continuously looked at the name on the mobile screen, her finger hesitating to answer the call. Suddenly, he snatched the mobile from her hand.

She looked at him in shock.

"What were you doing?" His angry voice clearly showed his frustration.

She took a deep breath and responded in her typical confident tone. "I don't know how long she has been calling. I thought I'd tell her you're still asleep and can't talk to her."

He gritted his teeth and stopped himself from saying anything harsh.

She changed her tone as she watched him. "Why are you so angry? She knows about us anyway. I thought I'd answer her call. And I really wanted to talk to your best friend." She deliberately used the term "best friend" for Moomal.

He took a deep breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, and looked at her seriously.

"Please, never try to answer my family's calls again."
