Mohabbat ki dastan.

CHAPTER- EIGHT

Sara and Minal were sitting in the cafeteria during lunch break.

Sara was thinking about the events of the morning when Minal shook her and asked, "Where are you lost?"

Sara snapped out of her thoughts and said, "Yes, I'm fine."

Looking at her face, Minal asked, "Now tell me, what are you thinking about? Why are you worried?"

Sara in a soft voice said, "Yaar, I'm thinking about Zayyan's words. Did he really miss me, and is that why he came to meet me this morning?"

Minal replied, "So, what's there to worry about? It's a happy thing that Zayyan bhai missed you and came to meet you in the morning."

Sara said, "Yes that's true, but I'm honestly a little happy that he came to meet me."

Minal said, "Yes me too. By the way, you know what? I forgot to tell you-Zayyan bhai's best friend Yasir followed me on Instagram this morning and messaged me, asking me to accept his message request as he had something important to ask."

"So, I accepted it and he asked me whether you were coming to the university today, so I told him yes."

Sara looked surprised and asked, "Really? That actually happened?"

Minal replied, "Yes, yaar, why would I lie?"

Sara thinking for a moment asked, "Did he send any other messages after that?"

Minal said, "No, there were no other messages, and I put him in the restricted list anyway."

Sara laughing asked, "But why did you do that?"

Minal replied, "I don't like him, and I answered his question, so the conversation was over. What else was I supposed to do with his DM?"

Sara said, "Yes, that's true. Anyway, I won't be coming tomorrow. I had to submit the assignment today otherwise, I wouldn't have come. I was planning to come the day after tomorrow."

Minal said, "What do you mean? I'll have to come alone tomorrow?"

Sara laughed and said, "You should take a leave too. It'll be better."

Minal said, "Yes you're right."

It was midnight, and Zayyan was sitting in his office, looking at a photo of Sara on his laptop screen, a faint smile spread across his face.

Talking to himself Zayyan asked, "Am I really missing my wife?" Shaking off his thoughts he said, "No, Zayyan can't miss anyone."

After thinking for a while, he leaned his head back against the chair and said, "But I really missing my wife."

Deciding for himself Zayyan said, "Jab aap ayengi wapas mere pass to aapse har us galti ki maafi mangni hai jo maine ki hai ."

He picked up his phone from the table and left for home.

When Zayyan reached home, everyone was already asleep in their rooms. He walked through the lounge and headed to his own room.

As he entered the room he glanced around and feeling sad went to freshen up.

After freshening up, Zayyan went out to the balcony, sat down, and began gazing at the moon in the sky. He said, "Zayyan khan ka chand isse bhi kayi jayda khubsurat hai."

He smiled at his own words and added, "I hope I don't go crazy for my wife."

He sat there for a while, then got up and returned to the room. Lying down on the bed, he thought to himself, "Tomorrow, my wife will be with me, and then I will apologize for all my mistakes."
