Secluded

Suicide

Noor returned shattered and depressed as the ache within her seem to cross through her body and penetrated deep inside her soul. She never expected Subhaan to betray her and hurt her when he introduced her fiancee to everyone in her Didi's reception. The girl was beautiful and a cousin of Subhaan selected by his family.

Noor put up a brave front through the whole function but her family sympathized her. Especially her Didi who was expecting this somehow and back at home, Noor couldn't keep herself from breaking apart with hurt. How can he do this to him? She cried and cried until she drifted off to sleep.

Next day she called Subhaan when she scattered enough courage to talked to him and argued for long time but his words penetrated deep and shook her completely from within.

"Noor, you were my friend and nothing more! How come did you believe that I have feelings for you when I never showed you any? Did I ever tell you that I love you?" Subhaan demanded angrily. "I thought you were broad and open-minded and I used to be proud about it but like any other girl, you turned out to be shallow only seeking love in friendship! We are over Noor!"

"Subhaan? You are saying this to me?!" Noor gasped unable to believe him saying this. She wanted to remind him her favors but trailed off when he interjected sharply at her words. "I have did so much for you and helped you out in so many ways..."

"I returned your favors as soon as I can! Please think about it when you calm down as I hate keeping anyone favors piled up on my head. If you did stuff for me then I returned it with Interest and if you think this will make me love you, you are absolutely wrong!" Subhaan snapped back as Noor felt helpless as she hung up and tossed the mobile on the floor angrily crying to her hearts content.

She went through terrible days in College hoping to meet Subhaan and clarify herself but he kept avoiding her. Her collegemates made fun of her and as it was obvious to everyone that they weren't friends anymore. The college knew about Subhaan's engagement and linked it with trouble between them making it impossible for to deal with life in college.

Few friends sympathized her while few envied her as she was the closest to Subhaan before and now he was similar to other girls who desired Subhaan for his good looks, nice character and charm.

That evening she was busy arranging for a fashion show when few girls started mocking and taunting her as she trembled with anger. There was no point arguing with any of them so she left the college taking an auto and returned home in pain and hurt of losing the only guy she had loved for months.

That evening she couldn't take it anymore so as soon as she returned home, she entered the kitchen.. The pain. The hurt which was killing her slowly from inside was unbearable as she was certain, she was all alone in her own house. She knew she couldn't bear this loss nor could she imagine a life without Subhaan so she decided to end her life along with her sufferings.

She grabbed a glass from the counter and smashed it on the ground shattering it into thousand shards. She bent down to pick it up when somebody stood at the door startling her as her eyes went wide in shock to see him.

"Yazaan?" She called in a whisper unable to believe him standing at the kitchen door.

"Noor?" He looked confused for a few seconds but then it dawned him. "What the hell are you doing?"

She moved instantly carrying out his intentions but he was lightning fast grabbing her hand and preventing her. She was adamant and he was resolute. The battle between then went on for few seconds until Yazaan managed to bent Noor wrist so she let the shard slip from her hand due to pain as she screamed.

"Noor! Are you insane!" He said finally pushing her at one corner of the kitchen as she slumped on the floor crying helplessly. Yazaan eagerly compiled the shards with his feet and pushed them in one corner. Then he bent to pick Noor by her arm forcefully dragging her to their living room and tossed her on the couch.
