Destined for One Another

Destined for One Another (46)

Mahinoor's P.O.V. (Two weeks later)

Packing up the last of my things in my old room I take a deep breath and look around wanting to soak in all the little details of it, as I  had no idea when I was going to come back to visit. Rehan and I discussed it,  but with my schooling and his work schedule,  it looked as if it was going to be a while before we could come back. 

"Api?"  Roza said walking into my room with tearful eyes, "Bhai is asking if you are ready to go?"

I smile softly at her hiding my sadness the best as I can, pulling my handbag off of the bed I say, "Yeah," Roza stood still staring at me as her bottom lip began to quiver. "Roza," She ran towards me tightly hugging my torso. 

"Maat jao na," (Please do not  go)  She cried as I hugged her back just as tightly, "Please?" My heart hurt hearing her cries, but Rehan was right. We had a whole world that we put on pause, and this break we had for Api's wedding was nice, but that world we left back in New  York was just as important as the one we had here in Huntsville.

 I rubbed her back comforting, "I wish I could stay," I admitted, "But Roza,  everything  Rehan  and I fought for is in New York,  we cannot just leave that behind." Roza's cries softly died down, "I am sorry,"  

"No," She whispered before pulling away,  "It is selfish  for me to ask  you to stay  Api."

Brushing her hair away from her  face  gently, I lift up my bag again and grab her hand, "Let's go." We walked downstairs together, to see everyone waiting to say goodbye to Rehan and I. I hand my bag to Rehan, and go down the lineup, from Baba, Amma, Zaid Baba, Kinza Khala, Jannat Api, Jamal, and finally Aryan Bhai. Rehan had already said his goodbyes. . .I stood strongly beside him suppressing my hidden emotions. "So," I breathe out  heavily, "I'll see you all soon."

Rehan held my hand  tightly to comfort me, "We will see you all soon." He repeated after me.  No one was going to drop us off at the airport, we had denied all requests. It was going to  be too hard for me to  get  on that plane without crying. . ."Bye." He whispered, 

I waved goodbye to all of them as we both got into the Uber and drove off. I looked over at Rehan who already was looking over at me. "We'll  be okay."

I looked down  at  our joint hands and smiled softly, "We'll be okay." I said firmly. 

As long as we had each other, Rehan and I would be perfectly fine. . because we are destined for one another.  

                                                                     . . .  THE END. . .

Tu hi ye mujh ko bataa de
Chaahoon main yaa naa
Apne tu dil ka pataa de
Chaahoon main yaa naa

You only tell me,
should I love or not,
Tell me about your heart,
Should I love or not..

Itna bata doon tujh ko
Chaahat pe apni mujh ko
Yoon to nahi ikhtiyaar
Phir bhi yeh sochaa dil ne
Ab jo lagaa hoon milne
Poochhoon tujhe ek baar

I'll tell you so much,
On my love,
I don't have so much control,
Still the heart thought once,
Now that I've begun to meet,
I should ask you once..

Tu hi ye mujh ko bataa de
Chaahoon main yaa naa
Apne tu dil ka pataa de
Chaahoon main yaa naa

Aisee kabhee pehle hui naa thi khwaahishein
O.. kisee se bhi milne ki
Naa ki thi koshishein
Uljhan meri suljhaa de
Chaahoon main yaa naa
Aankhon aankhon mein jataa dey
Chaahoon main yaa naa

There were never such wishes before,
Never had I tried to meet
someone like that..
Disentangle my problems,
Should I love or not..
say to me within eyes,
Should I love or not..

Mere chhote chhote khwaab hain
Khwaabon mein geet hain
Geeton mein zindagi hai
Chaahat hai, preet hai
Abhi main na dekhoon khwaab wo
Jin mein na tu mile
Le kholey honth maine
Ab tak the jo sile

I have some small dreams,
In those dreams there are songs,
In songs, there is life,
love, and longing..
Now I don't dream those dreams,
in which you aren't there..
See, I open these lips (to agree)
that I had kept closed till now..

Mujh ko na jitna mujh pe
Utna is dil ko tujh pe
Hone laga aetbaar
Tanhaa lamhon mein apne
Bunti hoon tere sapne
Tujh se hua mujh ko pyaar..

My heart believes you so much
as I don't believe even myself..
In my lone moments,
I dream about you,
I have fallen in love with you..

Poochungi tujh ko kabhi naa
Chaahoon main yaa naa..
Tere khwaabon mein ab jeena
Chaahoon main kyun naa..

I'll never ask you
Should I love or not..
Now I have to live in your dreams
Should I love or not..
