SHATTERED HEARTS

Ch.57.Behind those hazel eyes....!!!

Dedicated to the real life Afzal Shaykh....!!!

Strong,chilly winds gushed forth fiercely causing the dark grey clouds to migrate further across the skies as they proceeded through the town. It was a cool,windy day and the warm,radiant sun was once again curtained by the thick cover of the clouds.

Nawal,stood by the balcony doors,watching their evergreen surroundings through the slightly drizzling rain.
The dense green bushes that adorned the area imparted a refreshing aura around. She stood smiling,wrapping her arms around herself to shield from the cold.Nature never ceases to amaze to one's mind!No matter how distressed a person may be just by being in the midst of nature for a short while ,a troubled heart relaxes greatly.But here, Nawal wasn't just staring at the beautiful scenery,her thoughtful mind was silently pondering on the Magnificence and Beauty of the One who has created this striking forms of beauty!! SubhanAllah!!
Glory to Him who fashioned this unique,marvellous aspects of nature that leaves the heart awestruck and imparts a soothing sense of peace to the mind just by being in the midst of it or gazing at it!!!

And also,she felt grateful that she had the privilege to be in such peaceful surroundings ,to be able to gaze at such picturesque landscape.... Even though it was only for some more days as they won't be living in Sundarnagar permanently.Yet they would be back,in vacations and on other occasions & this thought brought a bright smile on her beautiful face!

She turned her head slightly to glance at her husband who was lazily sprawled on the bed with a huge blanket covering his tall,muscular form!! Only his blessed face was out of the blanket and even half of it was buried in the soft pillow!!!
And that half covered face was brightly illuminated by the light of his mobile screen as he was holding the phone right in front of his face!!

He wasn't asleep but lazily scrolling through his phone.
After freshening up and having breakfast he had again chosen to
grace his comfy bed as according to Arhaan Shaykh such dull,gloomy weather was meant for giving in to a peaceful slumber!!!
He had even tried to convince his beloved wife,who had returned to the room after cooking lunch ,to join his highness in the noble task ,but despite his persuasions she had straightaway denied!!! Much to his dismay!!!

Nawal shook her head at his sleepiness, he looked like a big,furry animal who had just hunted its prey and was now resting quietly!!! Pursing her lips at the weird imagination, she turned to look ahead. He must be tired though, as Tahir's engagement had been a day ago and they had all been immensely engrossed the entire day!!!!

Taking one last glance at the rainy weather Nawal turned to walk in.She walked to the wardrobe and opened it,staring at a particular section which had her precious collections.Her lips twitched into a full smile at the sight of her hidden treasure resting in decorated boxes and delicate glass jars! It was such a tempting sight....... the attractive,mouth watering chocolates which were gifted by her considerate brother Arif who lived in Qatar and beloved sister Shirin who lived in London!!!!

Yeah,....this was her hidden treasure .....the delicious chocolates.,the precious possession she truly valued..... which she never shared with anyone except Zaara,but that wasn't necessary often as Zaara had her own collections....!!!!

Her smile faltered slightly as she removed two big boxes of Ferrero Rochers and Galaxy chocolate bars.And then that smile was replaced by a deep frown...!!

Both boxes were half empty....!!!

She hastily checked the remaining boxes to find them in a similar state!!! Steam oozed out of her ears as she angrily grabbed all the boxes and jars. Furiously turning around she walked to the bed and slammed the boxes on it!!!
