Dedicated to my beloved sis and bestest friend ever .....the one &
Only Zarahfarooq..... :))
Words for you :
A single Rose can be my garden,
A single Friend my World.....!!!
The cold monsoon night had wholly engulfed the bustling city in its dark black
cloak.In the huge Mansion that belonged to Mr.Ayyub Khan,the dinner party arranged
for family & friends was going on in full swing.By now,the dinner was over,but the
guests were still engrossed,talking ,laughing & enjoying their time together!!
Amongst these however,there were two people in particular who wanted to some
how get away from these suffocating surroundings...!!!
Yeah...for them it was literally suffocating...they would be anywhere but here..
surrounded by numerous strangers,sporting fake smiles and speaking even if they
didnt wish...!!!
One of those two people was Arhaan Shaykh...!!!
He pretended to listen to whatever the men were discussing ,not the least bit
interested ..!! While doing so ,however,he felt someone watching him & on instinct
turned to look in the direction.His eyes rested on Nawal...who ,he was sure had been
watching him before but recently she had proceeded to walk outdoors.
She too must be bored & irritated,Arhaan thought.But why is she going outside
alone??
He excused himself to follow her and headed to walk out too when his father in
law,Mr.Hussain Bakhtiyar called him to introduce him to some guest!
Reluctantly, Arhaan turned back and greeted the person with as much politeness
as his tired, uninterested self could muster...!!!
After doing the formality,he again excused himself ,his restless heart wanting
to be near his wife...!!
The cool,refreshing night air soon welcomed him as soon as he stepped out.
Arhaan smiled instinctively,shoving his hands in his pockets and walking out
in the welcoming weather.....this was much better than the atmosphere
within that huge mansion!!!!
And with Nawal....it would be all the more romantic....!!!
His smile widened and he glanced around to see where she was.....!!!!!
There in the garden...he spotted her easily for she was the only girl in
abaya & niqaab ....but the smile on his face vanished the very instant he laid
eyes upon her......!!!!
Because....she wasn't alone......!!!
His wife.....Nawal.....stood there....engaged in deep conversation with a guy..!!!
Arhaan squinted & walked a little further,but his wife was too engrossed in the
talk...!!! She seemed to be listening very intently as if it was something really
significant the guy was saying......!!!!
Speaking of the guy..........
The very sight of him made Arhaan clench his fists tightly........
He was the same guy who had been staring shamelessly at his wife throughout
the entire party.....
That was a reason more than enough to elevate his rage....!!!
Arhaan stopped at a distance,where he could clearly hear the conversation
......which he really wished he hadnt heard......!!!!
"I wanted to tell you all this earlier...but you didnt receive my call on that Sunday,
neither responded to my texts after that!If still you think,I was wrong, then I apologise
for my mistake ," The guy was saying while his wife kept staring down, "But please
can we go back to how it was? Atleast for the sake of our families?"
