Memories We Hold Together

"Scars that you left"

She returned home with the sun setting, she was a little surprised to see him in the house.

"Water!?"
Rehan held out a glass of water towards her.

"Thank you!"
Keeping the glass on the table, she got up from the sofa and went to her room.

"Why didn't you go to the office today?"
On entering in room, Gul asked,

"I wasn't feeling quite good today."

While taking out clothes from the closet, Gul's hand stopped.

"What happened?"
There was softness in the tone.

"Nothing much, just a headache, anyways leave it all, quickly change your clothes, then we'll together."

"I'm not hungry, you can eat."
On her way to the bathroom, Gul said,

"Eat a little for me, it's not fun to eat alone anyway."
He could feel the coldness in her tone, for the first time it was bothering him.

One look at him, she entered the bathroom without answering.
While Rehan was left with a deep sigh.

************

Sitting on the table, he was waiting for her, there was some hope in his heart, then Gul pulled a chair and sat beside him.

"Thanks for coming."
He smiled a little while saying,

Gul said nothing and started putting food on Rehan's plate.

"Are you still angry with me?"
After taking a few mouthfuls of food, he finally asked,

Gul's hand stopped pouring the curry, putting the spoon back in the bowl, she turned towards him, after looking at his face for a few moments, she said,

"Yes, I am very angry! I am so angry that even sitting with you making me- She stopped, trying not to say anything hurtful

But her anger could let her.

"Have you ever seen yourself in the mirror? Don't you feel sorry for your condition?"
Are you so crazy in your drunkenness that you can't see anything?
After what happened last night, my heart said that I Should Lea-

A strange pain was felt in her words.
Rehan was silent, listening to her.

"What do I do?"
On her silence he said worriedly, he probably couldn't remember what happened last night.

Without answering his question, she got up and left.
While Rehan kept watching her disappearing from his eyes.

************

It was past midnight and there were no signs of sleep in both of their eyes.
Lying on the couch in the room, she was surrounded by many thoughts.

"Will he give up his habits by me being angry with him?!
Will he be cured by all this? "

"Ahhrg! Anger doesn't solve anything, dear.
And you know this very well. "

While scolding herself, Gul's eyes fell on Rehan lying on the bed in front of him.
At the very moment rehan opened his eyes, Gul felt her heart dropped she furiously closed her eyes. In hopes rehan haven't noticed her.

After a few moments she felt her shoulder a little heavy, like someone put something on them.
She opened her eyes in an instant

"Gul? Gul!"
Rehan was sitting next to him, calling her in a lower tone, alomst whispering.

"What happened? ls everything okay?!"
Speaking in a sleepy tone, she sat up lazily,

"Umm... sorry I woke you up, but I have to apologize to you."
