Let it hurt until it can't hurt anymore
-Liam Ryan-

Aarish Yazeed Khan :

Today is my engagement with Mehrish. And I'm waiting for her to come down. I want to ask her why she agreed to marry me. I don't know what I'm doing. It's because of dad. He blackmailed me. I'm not ready for this marriage. And Mom is still angry with Dad and me.

"Hey, where are you lost bhaiya(brother)?" Zishaan asked as I came back from my thoughts.  "Nothing," I replied uninterestedly. "I'm sure you’re thinking about bhabi aren’t you?" He said sheepishly earning a glare from me. "Shut up Zishaan," I said through my greeted teeth.

"Chill man- ohh bhabi came," he said excitedly and I didn’t pay any attention to her. And scrolled on my phone. "Aarish you can watch the phone later," Dad said and glared at me. I sighed slipping my phone in my pocket as I didn’t have the energy to argue back. Aunty made her sit beside me. A fresh smell of jasmine filled my nostrils and I felt a strong gaze on me.

'Definitely, she was staring at me' I thought and looked at her. My breath hitched for a second when my eyes met hers. She immediately looked away and started to fidget her fingers.  Her russet brown doe eyes were looking beautiful. Sky blue color complemented her whole look. Her facial features were looking more enhanced for this light makeup. The net dupatta on her head failed to hide her jet-black locks adoring her shoulders in soft curls.

She is looking so different today.

Ethereal.

My gaze fell on her light flamingo-pink lips.

"Bhaiya you have your whole life to stare at bhabi but stop now, let me introduce myself to her," Zishaan said breaking my trance.

SHIT. 

WHAT THE HELL I WAS DOING?

I instantly glared at him clearing my throat and cursed for distracting myself. "Assalamualaikum Bhabi, I'm Aarish bhaiya's cousin and best friend, Zishaan Sayeed, you can call me Zishu," he said showing his 32 teeth at her.

"WalaikumSalam, I'm Mehrish Hossain, you can call me Mehr," I heard her soft voice. "Okay then, I'm calling you Mehr Bhabi from now on," Zishaan said excitedly. 

Isn’t he showing too much excitement? 

"If you are done with your 'introduction' keep quiet," I said glaring at him.  "Such a grumpy man," Zishaan muttered and she chucked hearing this which made me more annoyed.  I shoot a deadly glare at her.  After Zishaan left. I carefully leaned to her ear, "Laugh as much as you want now my dear soon-to-be wifey later you might forget how laughing sounds like," I whispered huskily. I want to see her reaction. But she looked at me blankly then chuckled making me confused all of a sudden. Because I didn’t expect this reaction. 

"Why would I forget what laughing sounds like am I looking like a dementia patient to you my soon-to-be hubby?" she asked innocently. And I looked at her amused. I don't have any words to reply. Is she for real?

After some time her friend came and sulked because Zishu spilled juice on her dress, that idiot can be so clumsy at times.

I sighed.

Then the first meeting with Mehrish and mine flashed in front of my eyes. So strange, a girl I bumped into that day is going to be my wife.

My wife?

I jerked away my thoughts. And after clicking pictures with everyone the ceremony started. I took the ring and held her cold palm she slightly flinched as my harsh hand met with her soft one. I felt a sudden current when I held her hands. 

Shut up Aarish just slip in the ring fast.

I immediately slipped the ring on her finger then she had mine and did the same. Everyone clapped.

After having dinner we came back. I went straight to my room. And stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection, I closed my eyes and those memories of her flashed in front of my eyes.

"Aarish you will give me a big diamond ring on our engagement day right?" She said excitedly and jumped like a kid. Her black orbs shined with excitement.

"Yes! Of course Ri," I said and chuckled holding her hands.

"Thank you!!" she said giggling and hugged me.

"I love you!" she said happily.  "I love you too!" I said and caressed her brown hair lovingly.

Present

My eyes shot open. And a lone tear slipped down my cheek.

"Only if I knew that love was materialistic," I said and chuckled dryly.

Ya Allah please help me to erase her every memory from my mind.

The people I loved the most betrayed me.

I trusted them blindly and got betrayed as a result.

Love is a useless thing. It makes you vulnerable, and weak. And gives you pain in return. I don't want to be vulnerable again for a girl.

And I will NEVER repeat this mistake...
