I sat down when someone pulled my arm roughly and pulled me into a dead hallway. I was shocked too see Taani grasping my arm tightly.

Why could she possibly be mad at me??? I gave her everything I possibly could including my love. Now what did she want??

"Claps to you Anjali" she said and I was shocked yet scared.

"Shehry ko neeche girte hui bhi dekh ke Phir bhi uske paas nahin aayi. " she scolded me.

"Woh...tumhe wahan dekh liye isliye tum dono ki beech mein nahin Aana chahti thi" I explained to her and suddenly her voice softened.

"Nahin anjali. Beech mein tum nahin mein aayi thi" she said and my jaw dropped.

"Matlab?? Tunare liye toh main..." I blurted almost telling her. I had forgotten that she didn't know me and Shehry were in a relationship before so I stopped my thought.

"Bolo na. Mere liye apna pyaar kurban kar diye?" She asked me knowing everything. "Mujhe sab pata hai anjali. Sab!" She stated and I was shocked not being able to hold back my tears.

"Anjali. Beech mein mai aayi thi" she told me and I felt a hint of excitement knowing Shehry could actually be mine.

"Jao anjali...Shehry ke paas. Time mat waste Karo" she said placing her hand on my shoulder and walked away.

I rushed to the bathroom so no one could see my cry. Cry...cry tears of JOY!!

Shehry could finally be mine I told myself. I jumped and squealed in my head waiting for my tears to disappear so I could go meet him.

And then the thought hit me. Shehry couldn't be mine. He would never be mine... Dad already had put forward my ristha to other families.

And I broke apart falling in the ground tears rolling down so hard. My life was full of endless problems.

-----------------------------A WEEK LATER------------------------------------------------------

SHEHRY'S POV:

"Aise kese mujhe phone tak nahin kar sakti" I complained to Hussain and Taani who were sitting right next to me on my hospital bed.

"Meine toh use sab bata bhi diya tha...use toh yeh tak pata hai keh Shehry your single" Taani told me.

"Chod na Shehry..." Hussain told me. "Zyaada tension maat le..ots not good for your health"

I didn't want to argue...but Anjali was the only thing I could think about. I closed my eyes when I heard the door open to my room. Mom walked in with...her.

My jaw dropped seeing her eyes glisten as she stared down the floor. Romantic music played in my head creating the best moment ever. All I could see was her. Anjali anjali anjali. 

She dared not look at me. I stared at her...thats all I could have done.

"Shehry...shehry" Mom called me twice when I came back to reality.

"Maa" I said as she hugged me.

"Yeh leh..roti bana ke le aayi hun" Mom said. Then she turned to Hussain.

"Hussain..papa tumara bahar wait kar rahe hai..jake gaadi mein bhet jau" she said and he left.

Taani walked out with Hussain too.

"Maa...apne haathon se khilado...mera haat bhi toota hua hai...lift karne mein pain hota hai" I said.

She smiled at me and playfully slapped me. This whole time mom fed me, and all I did was stare at Anjali who looked in her phone standing akwardly. A few minutes passed by when Dad called mom. He told her to hurry up or else they would be late.

"Haan par Shehry ko kahana toh khila dun..woh khud toh kah nahin sakta" Mom said but Dad was getting angry and she hung up.

I looked at mom and then eyes toward Anjali. Her jaw dropped realizing I wanted Anjali to feed me. She shook her head but agreed.

"Araay Anjali beta..Shehry ko yeh khana khatam kara do na..mujhe late ho raha" She said wiping her hands.

"Aunty..likin-" she tried to make an excuse but Mom had left already. I had the best mom!

I waited staring at Anjali. She eyed my arm that lay there broken. She sighed putting her phone in her back pocket and sat next to me still looking the other way. Her thigh brushed against mine as she moved closer to reach my mouth with the food. She gulped but fed me and all I did...stare at her face. She tried not looking me in the eye and I could tell it was hard for her.

She fed me one by one but made no eye contact. I laughed at her attempt to try to ignore me.

She raised her hand once more, and this time, I moved forward lightly biting her hand.

"Shehry" she screamed getting up. It felt so good to hear her voice from my mouth. I got so excited. She stared at her hand wiping away my spit.

"Kahana khana hai toh khao warna...just go to hell" she said a stomped out the door.

I laughed. At least she talked to me.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Two weeks had gone by but Anjali hadn't even texted me. I had been discharged from the hospital but I still had a cast on my head. The cast around my arm was finally removed.  After dinner, I felt really tired so here I was sitting in my room. I decided to try and sleep when dad walked in.

"Yes dad??" I asked thinking he needed something.

"Baat karni thi....aur is baat Mujhe jawab dena seedha seedha" he said and I agreed

"Beta shaadi ka kya iraadha hai??" He asked and only she came into my mind but I tried not blush or express any emotions on my face.

"Pata nahin papa" I said and he laughed

"Kisi ko pasand karta hai?" He asked and my heart stopped. It looked as if he already knew but he wants to hear it from my mouth. I remained silent hesitant to answer.

"Chal kal teri shaadi ki baat chaluanga" he said and got up to leave.

"Par papa--mein-" I said but he left shutting the door behind him before I could say anything.

Dang it! I thought almost hitting my arm
