It's Not Finished Yet

Chapter 46

Missed me? ;)
Yeah I missed you guys too :(

Past months have been hectic, mentally and physically. Took me weeks to recharge myself back and here we are!
Thank you for sticking by my side and waiting diligently <3
I didn't wanted to rush with the chapters because that would have lowered the quality. You know the rush rush writing. Especially this book which is close to my heart. I want every chapter to be worth reading.

Alright enough of my bak bak, let's get back into the story! Hopefully you will like it.

Enjoy!

The moment I picked up the pen and was about to continue writing, I heard a voice I would recognise anywhere and my heart dropped instantly.

Ahaan, my ex, who also happens to be my cousin, just greeted my mum, followed by his sister.

What's he doing here?
After a year?
Didn't he swore he would never step at my home ever again?
I placed a hand on my heart to calm it down with lots of thoughts rushing my mind.

I shake my head while muttering, "No it can't be. I'm clearly over Ahaan. C'mon it's been years!"

'Then why is your body reacting differently?' my subconscious mocked me.

I rubbed my feet as coldness was crawling over them with each passing second. "I love Murat. I can't feel for two people at the same time."
Or am I mistaken?
Have I really moved on?
I squeeze my eyes shut.
Time to face the reality.

Gathering all my courage, I sat up straight while making a quick messy bun. I grazed my hands over the sheets, twisting and turning the cushions but the hairclaw was nowhere to be found.

Where the heck has this claw gone now!

My eyes went towards the table, finding my hairclaw resting beside the diary peacefully. I huffed and picked it up, clearly irritated.

Calm down sweetheart.
What's the rush?

I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath and walked outside confidently, hiding every ounce of nervousness I was feeling.
And there he was, sitting beside his sister and mom in the living room. My mother was talking with them, and as soon as I entered the room all the eyes shifted on me.

By all, I mean all.

"Assalamualaikum," I greeted everyone but didn't look at him, and sat beside his sister. She is a sweet and caring elder sister unlike his idiot brother, and I have a great bond with her. She kind of fills the 'elder sister you call look up to' part inside me.

Whole time while talking to Aapi (elder sister), I was continuously feeling his eyes on me.

What's wrong with him?
Wasn't he the one who ignored me in family gatherings for an entire year?

While speaking to my mum, I accidentally looked at Ahaan, finding his eyes already on me. He smiled, trying to start a conversation, but I kept my expressions poker and turned my face away.

I mean why?
Why now?
Wasn't he the one who ended our friendship and even the bond of cousins?
What does he want now?

I fiddled with the hem of my dress, trying to keep my face neutral.

Hayat, think of Murat.
Don't get upset because of this douchebag.
Change your mind.
