MANNAT : His desire

PLANNING

Tanzil Ahmed khan is busy working on his laptop, his gaze fixed on the screen while the light from it reflects on his face, the tap tap of his fingers on the keyboard was the only sounds..

Despite of all this his mind is not present in the room , his thoughts are not there…they are on his roohi, the girl who hates him, the girl who is right now hurting because of him….

He has to think..about what he can do to get her forgiveness…maybe all he has  to do is to tell her the truth..and she will understand..

But can he really do this…?
can he really tell her everything? What if she walks away from him after all her feelings for him are still new..
What if she leaves him because of the truth..or maybe because of his past??

These 'what ifs' are killing his head..but he cannot stop thinking about them , unfortunately the future of their relationship is dependent on them..

Without knocking someone entered his cabin he didn't have to look up to know who is it..
"You ruined it." Someone said in anger…
Tanzil lift up his eyes and they met with an angry Trisha..
The expression on her face hardened and after many years there was anger in her eyes for him..

All these years Trisha always maintained her professional behaviour with tanzil..Even though they were College friends..
She is someone who keeps her professional and personal life very different unless when it comes to a certain someone she calls her hubby.

"You ruined all of it.." she snaps at Tanzil..

"Trisha, today is the worst day for you to lay down your professional armour…kindly go and come back with your professional version. It's been only 2 seconds with you and I miss that version a lot.."

He looked straight into her eyes and said  "get out please…"
with a smile that didn't reach his eyes and point at the door.

Trisha refused to listen to him and sit down on a chair in front of him…while pointing a finger at him
"No you listen to me..
Fix whatever you destroyed with her.. she doesn't deserve this."

Her tone softened up a bit while speaking about mannat.
The corners of her eyes a bit red means she is stopping herself from crying.

Folding her hands over her chest she speaks again "Break your engagement with nausheen right now."

Tanzil rub him hands over his face, this is just afternoon and he is already regretting getting up in the morning…

"Get out before I fire you."
He ordered..

Trisha didn't budge
"You can all you want, but I am not here as your employee, I am here as your friend.."

After experiencing silence for 10 seconds tanzil gives up.

"You think I don't want to? I just need some time..everything is going perfectly by my plan..I can't ruin it by breaking the engagement now.." something in his voice speaks of desperation …

Trisha almost pitied the man in front of her..

"I am this close to my achievement..
All of that would be destroyed."

He says. But it seems  like he is speaking more to himself than Trisha..
It's like he is convincing himself more than Trisha..

"So what do you plan to do now..she asked him..?"

For a solid minute tanzil said nothing..his gaze somewhere else while tapping his fingers on marble on his desk..

Finally he looks up at her and said..
"I need your help.."

Then he point his gaze on the door.
"Also, sanam Can you stop putting all your weight on that poor door ?"
he speaks to sanam who was hiding herself behind the door..
