SHATTERED HEARTS

Ch.55.Distance,is but,a test of True Love...!!!

Dedicated to PurpleEnchanted as she gave a very heart warming compliment on Zaara & Afzal that they epitomise true love ;)

Zulaym Ansari drove his car through the almost deserted & drenched roads of Sundarnagar as he made his way to the Carnival restaurant that his friends were waiting at. The gorgeous smile that was playing on his lips ever since he met the one for him, had never left his handsome face.He was smiling so much that it actually hurt his cheeks!

Oh but his heart.... His heart was jumping with joy almost doing a happy weird dance within him!!

He had heard people say that love does wonders to the heart,it takes one to an entirely different land where everything seems blissful and too good to be real,it makes one feel on top of the world.....but it was only today that he finally got the meaning of it all....and he knew it was her ,the one for him just by a glance!! Of course Zulaym didn't know what destiny had in store for them but all he knew was that she was the one his heart wanted !! It had happened so fast and so unexpectedly that it felt like a dream.... But again ,

The most beautiful things in life are the most unexpected ones !!

He could still see her sitting on the back seat nervously fidgeting with her elegant fingers,her cute ,pretty face that was so innocent.... That it made him want to stare at her forever!!

And her smile....Oh the way she smiled at him ,what he wouldn't do to see her smiling like that always !!
That smile lifted his spirits and his heart swelled in inexplicable bliss at her beautiful smiling face !!!

She was the most beautiful girl he ever saw in his life,the one who had pulled the very strings of his heart ......the girl he always dreamt of and the true manifestation of his most cherished dreams!!

The way they met was even more surprising for him....he was so lost in his dreams and just when he opened his eyes she was there,before him as if she merely stepped out of his dreamland into real life!!

His smile widened as he recalled that feeling ....he had never felt so happier in his life!! As if he was on top of the world!!!

But is this really what you call love ???

Zulaym pondered silently upon the question ....but he was sure of one thing.... whatever it was ....The feeling was beyond amazing !!!

Taking a glance at the now empty backseat through the mirror Zulaym smiled and sped towards his destination!

He parked his sleek black Mercedes in front of the lavish restaurant and got down. The chilly breeze sauntered to him as if congratulating him on finding his love! Zulaym shook his head & raked a hand through his hair turning to look up at the sky.
He smiled widely opening his arms and shutting his eyes for a while savouring the feeling which was beyond the realm of words !!! The feeling of first love .....which is so pure and innocent...just like an elegant flower that eventually comes out of its bud and blooms to the fullest ....!!

Slowly retreating his arms,the smile still lingering on his lips, he turned to walk towards the restaurant ignoring the weird stares he was getting due to his strange behaviour!Honestly he could care less what anyone thinks right now.Shoving his hands in his pant pockets Zulaym walked in whistling all the while.

With high spirits and an immensely good mood that every passer by could feel emanating from him he finally entered the dining area on the second floor and soon enough spotted his friends! However they weren't aware of his presence yet as they were too engrossed discussing something and judging by the looks of it.....it seemed something serious!! He had expected them to be smiling and joking .....but here they were talking to each other in hushed voices!!
