SHATTERED HEARTS

A very Important Note! Do not skip!!

Assalamualaikum and hi to non muslim readers!

Dear beloved readers, I already told some of you but I have to repeat it again because I need your help...! While republishing certain chapters since some of my readers couldn't see them, all the contents of Ch.38.I always have & I always will, suddenly disappeared except for the title and a few lines.And the saddest part is I don't even have it saved anywhere :((

It was my second favourite chapter and I had spent nearly a month planning it and put all of my heart into writing it.Only if you are a writer will you understand how I must feel.I had a terrible heartache that day as I am too attached to certain chapters of my book. I even had half a mind to delete the entire story but Allah knows how somehow I just controlled myself.
Please, please if any one of you has the chapter in their library yet kindly please copy paste and pm me.I will be forever grateful to you!

And the problem that some readers can't see certain chapters has been reported to the support team InshaAllah I am sure it will be solved shorty.

But....Those readers who missed chapter 51. It's really important so I will give you a short summary in order to give you an idea of what it contains.Even if you don't get chapter 51 back atleast you can read the summary and reread chapter 52 so you will understand.

Summary of chapter 51:

Ch.51.Real love starts after Nikah!

It begins with the description of how Marital life is a pure bliss, a blessing. Almost half the month has passed after their wedding.Arif and Hussain Bakhtiyar have returned back to their places.The couples made many memories during this period, having get togethers, and all, also their one week honeymoon to a hill station.
Aside from that Shirin had planned a girls day out.
Just like the landscape seen through the window of a passing train, all these good times passed by quickly! However the Shaykh brothers came to realise that their decision of marriage was the best they ever made, their false beliefs about girls proving wrong!

Second scene was of Zaara making gulab jamuns and comparing them to her husband Afzal Shaykh!! Her friend Nawal was immensely gloomy that day and upon asking the reason, Nawal tells her that she had received a text from an unknown number in the morning. She had also received a congratulations text from the same number on their wedding day but thinking that it might be some school or college friend Nawal shrugged it off. But, this morning the same person texts her again asking when she is coming to Mumbai.
Nawal in response questions who the person is and much to her shock the reply is : Mohsin Khan. ( I hope you guys remember who he is. )

Nawal feels extremely guilty that she didn't tell her husband about him before marriage and Zaara consoles her saying she should tell it to Arhaan now, that he will understand. The only reason Nawal doesn't wish to tell Arhaan about Mohsin and that Sunday when she had gone to meet him in Jogeshwari, is because she doesn't want Arhaan to think bad about her father. Coz in the end, it's her father who made her do that. Zaara assures her friend that Arhaan won't think so, and Nawal finally decides she will tell Arhaan about Mohsin. Besides, Nawal wasn't well that day, it was her time of the month.

Next scene was of Afzal & Faisal walking out of the mosque after Asr.They usually stayed extra time after Asr to perform supplications and zikr after Asr.
While walking together Faisal asks him if about his married life and Afzal answers affirmatively that he has never been happier.He goes on telling how Zaara is a perfect bride and makes him feel like a real life Prince. Unfortunately just as they reach the car, they notice a new guy, Faisal knows him already , he is new just to Afzal.The guy is taller and more handsome than Afzal, religious and well mannered as well.He was talking to his friends while standing by his sleek black Mercedes. Seeing Afzal and Faisal he comes to them and greets Faisal.Faisal introduces him to Afzal, and then Afzal realises the guy was one of his childhood friends Owais Qureshi, Mrs.Juvairiya Qureshi's son & Haider's younger brother.
Haider has an affair with Faisal's sister in law that is, Saba's sister.
In chapter 26 I explained that Afzal's mom had told him that her friend Juvairiya Qureshi was going to ask Zaara's hand in marriage for her elder son Haider. But it wasn't the truth.While conversing; Owais congratulates Afzal on his marriage but it seems half hearted and he says a few words that Afzal finds suspicious.When they finally leave Afzal asks Faisal why Owais said that, and much to his anger & dismay finds out that it wasn't Haider but his younger brother Owais who had asked for Zaara's hand in marriage. Owais had a liking for her since she was upto his standards and they had family relations since years. Afzal compares himself to another guy for the first time in his life! Owais lived in Germany as he had a nice job there, he was from a religious cultured well known family and had drop dead gorgeous looks.Faisal assured him that Zaara loved only him (Afzal) yet there is something in his heart:insecurity.

Zaara was watching the heavy rains from her window when Afzal enters. She was actually crying as rains reminded her of her past.According to Zaara, rains were like the tears of sorrow pouring forth fiercely from the depths of a broken heart. So when Afzal arrives back after Asr, his presence seems to her like the appearance of the radiant and warm sun after a devastating thunderstorm! She smiles at him and hugs him.
Later when she brings his coffee he asks her why she chose him over Owais.He doesn't ask directly. There is a conversation long I had written.Zaara very nicely confesses to him explaining him how she fell for him and telling him that "She didn't need to chose when her heart already knew what it wanted." Then there is a kissing scene!

Meanwhile Nawal is waiting patiently for Arhaan's return.She stands by the balcony watching the heavy rains. Rains to her seemed like showers of mercy. She stands admiring it.Arhaan hadn't left her side the entire day as she wasn't well but then she forcibly sent him to meet his friend's in the evening as she didn't want him to spent all time with her.Friends too are important besides Zulaym had called him. So , while he was gone and instructed her to stay in the room Nawal decides to go out in the rain so her mind will be distracted a bit.

Arhaan returns home after getting all wet on his bike.He escaped early from his friends to be back to his sick wife.When he doesn't find her in the room he goes to the terrace and there before him is a breathtaking sight!! I won't describe it all again.But Arhaan and Nawal eventually end up kissing in the rain. ( So sad, you missed the Chapter :P)

Then Arhaan carries her bridal style to their room while putting his warm jacket around her cold petite form. He asks her to get changed not just because she was wet but coz he was finding it hard to resist her.She was wearing a netted anarkali that was clinging to her skin due to getting wet in rain, her waist length hair were let down and she looked absolutely tempting to him. While Nawal also asks him to go & change Arhaan takes off his shirt revealing his six pack abs infront of her!! She turns into a tomato at the sight and .....ultimately makes him leave the room.While going Arhaan compliments her that he too had enjoyed the view !! ( Again so sad you guys missed the Chapter ;) )

Later that night there is a scene of Arhaan making Nawal drink the milk and take medicines in a protective husbands manner. Nawal tells him that she wants to confess about the Sunday he had asked her. (Meeting with mohsin)

Arhaan however stops her saying that she can say some other time today she isn't well.
And that Sunday itself when he had picked her from Jogeshwari she was so Hurt so even talking about it again will hurt her more.And then there s a line he says for which I have made a cover for that chapter, "Whenever you are hurt Nawal, I feel like,
My broken heart is shattered,
All over again."

An overwhelmed Nawal kisses him again and eventually falls asleep in his considerate arms!

(Now reread chapter 52.It will be more clear. )

And please do send me chapter 38 If anyone has it.please.
