He cannot forget.❞

"It's me." Dania shrugged, pulling on her pink blazer.
"Oh, I—"
"Can I come in?" She lightly patted her hands together. Sarfaraz nodded and stepped aside. She walked in, and he curiously looked for any bags. Thankfully none.
"How is your—" "I am leaving tonight. I could have stayed but—", She sighed, - "Ma is—repeatedly asking for me."
"It's good that you and your mother have patched things up. I thought after your dad's incident—" He hesitated. Dania turned to him, a small sad smile on her face.
"She is my mother, and she isn't well. I can't keep grudges for so long. Already, I lost my dad, and now she is my only family."
Sarfaraz nodded, lowering his head.
She insulted your mother and you when we were fourteen, her mother still insulted your mother and you—where is your self-respect, dude? I know you are a little dumb when it comes to her, but for how long will you keep the rosy glasses on?
"Are you—are you going to tell her about us." He licked his lips, his throat suddenly getting parched.
Dania slowly shook her head, - "No. Because that will break her heart and—I am not sure about you."
"What do you mean?" Sarfaraz straightened.
Dania looked straight into his eyes, - "I can risk my mother's health only if you promise, in writing, that you will break all contact with Fareeha."
"What?" He breathed.
Dania nodded, subtly, - "Yes. Erase her from your life."
There was silence between them, in which Sarfaraz gaped at her while she kept a straight and serious face. Staring into each other's eyes.
He stepped back, - "What rubbish, ya, Dania? What has Fareeha got to do with—"
"Yes, she does." Dania raised her voice, faltering, - "Since we got together, it's always her. Even in our dates, you are on call with her. Remember that night, you just left me in the car for her, and another night I was fanatically calling and you left your phone and spent the entire night with her, even at the restaurant with that fake Hadi—again—her." Her voice dropped towards the end. Streams of angry tears flowed down her cheeks.
"That night," She tugged her hair behind her ears, licked her lips, and continued trying to sound calm, but words just toppled out of her mouth, - "I was calling you like crazy, the whole night, and you—were with her—her—then, Adil had to step in. My mother would have—and you weren't there. I needed you—I wanted you."
All her inner rage spilled out and she couldn't stop ranting in a higher voice, - "You and Fareeha are so close, so close, that she even knows the moles you have—knows you in and out, something I—" She pointed at herself, - "Can never know. Because—I—don't even know who you are—" Dania stopped at the right moment, - "You could be a liar—all this could be a façade—because—because you don't seem genuine to me—at all."
