Everlasting Sorrows (On Hold)

Chapter 4

Maliha's POV

I reached home from the office and greeted grandma. She asked me to take some rest and then get ready for today's function. Today is my cousin, Hira's engagement.

I did as she said, took some rest and then went to get ready. To get ready is such a difficult task for me. I could not even decide what to wear. Suddenly my uncle came into my room and gave me a box. He told that he bought a new dress for me. He asked me to wear this dress on her daughter, Hira's engagement.

I opened the box and found a black maxi folded into a square. I drew it out of the box and then it revealed its true glory and beauty. Actually black is my favourite colour. The pearl-beaded fabric of the dress was a symbol of elegance. Such a simple and beautiful dress. If words could describe perfection, this would be it.

I tried to picture myself in this supreme dress, it was a glorious sight, enough to make my heart race at the thought of wearing it on. It was a really wonderful and faultless dress.

"Maliha?" Uncle called my name and broke the chain of my wonderful thoughts.

"Yeah?" I replied.

"Didn't you like it?"

"Like? I love it mamu! It's such a simple and elegant dress. And the colour, it's my favourite."

"Oh Thank God, I thought you didn't like it."

"No, it's not like that. Thank you so much. I was so confused about what to wear today but you solved my problem, a big thank you to you."

"Ahan, it's ok. Get ready soon, Okay?"

"Yeah okay! Once again thank you so much."

I thanked him and he left the room. At the other moment, grandma entered the room and I showed her the dress, she liked it too. I soon ran to wear my dress and get ready.

Rohail's POV

I was getting ready to go to a party when Adeel called me.

I picked up the phone and said;
"Kia hai?"

"Koi tameez or tehzeeb bhi hoti hai. Salam kar lete hain! Assalam Alaikum." He replied.

"Acha na, Walaikum Assalam. Ab bata, phone kyun kia hai?"

"Bore ho raha tha, socha tere sath koi plan bana loon. Chalein kaheen?"

"Abhi? Abhi mai busy hoon."

"Khairyat? Bus conductor ban gaye ho kia?" He said and laughed.

"Lame! Ek friend ki behen ki engagement me jana hai."

"Tou seedha seedha nahi bata sakte thay?"

"Ab bata diya na! Agar ab aap ijazat dein tou mai tayyar hojaon?"

"Jao beta, jitna tayyar hona hai ho jao, lagna tou tumhe waiter hi hai." He laughed at me.

"Acha? Ek kam karein, aap fursat se mar jayen."

"Teri tarah farigh nahi mai. Khair jao tayyar hojao."

"Shukria. Allah Hafiz."

We both laughed and ended the call. Then I got ready, took the keys of my car and drove to engagement party.

I reached there in few seconds, parked my car and then stepped into the hall. The arrangements were really very beautiful. I found my friend, Faizan, greeted him and then congratulated hin for her sister's engagement.

Maliha's POV

I was meeting and greeting people at the engagement when I suddenly saw him with Faizan, that Mr Over efficient. But what was he doing over here?

At the very next moment, he saw me. We both were shocked to see each other. I moved my gaze away from him and started looking around when I found him coming towards me.

"What are you doing over here?" He asked.

"Right back at you! What are you doing over here?" I said while emphasizing on "You"

"I came here because....Wait! Who are you to ask me?"

"Oh hello, Ese bina invitation ke kisi ki engagement me nahi aate."

"For your kind information, mai iss engagement me invited hoon."

"Really? Yeh meri cousin ki engagement hai, or tumhe yahan kisne invite karlia?"

"Tumhari cousin? Yaani tum Faizan ki cousin ho?" He asked me with a little shock.

"Jee or aap?"

"Mujhe yahan Faizan ne invite kia hai. He is my friend."

"Oh! Mujhe Faizan se ese hi doston ki umeed thi." I replied with sarcasm.

"Look, listen to me..."

"No, you listen to me! Jab tak tum yahan ho, please mujhse door rehna." I interrupted and started moving away from him when suddenly I fell on the floor.

Urghh! Who the hell spilled water over here?

"Do you know? You're old enough, you should learn how to walk. Kabhi girti parhti rehti ho ya kabhi kisi se takraati rehti ho or phir ghussa bhi karti ho." He came to me and said and my jaw dropped at the floor I was sitting on. I stood up and looked at him angrily.

"I can walk, or tumhe mujhe yeh batane ki zaroorat nahi hai ke mujhe kia karna chahiye or kia nahi."
I said and started moving when he held my hand.

"How dare you? Leave me! Maine kaha na, jab tak yahan ho, stay away from me!" I said in anger and he left my hand.

"Oh Miss wierdo, look!" He pointed towards floor where the water was spilled.

"Dobara isi raaste se jaati tou phir gir jati, isi liye roka maine warna mujhe koi shoq nahi hai tumhara haath pakarhne ka." He said and i felt a little bad for behaving in a rude manner with him.

"Thanks but no thanks! Mai apne aap ko khud sambhaal sakti hoon." I replied.

"Haan wo tou maine dekh hi liya hai, abhi kuch der pehle." He said sarcastically.

"Dekho, please don't spoil my night and stay away from me." I said.

I started moving when he again called me.
Kia masla hai iss insaan ke saath? -_-

"Wait, listen. Although I don't like you but by mistake, this dress looks beautiful on you." He said and left me shocked and expressionless.

Without giving him any reaction, I left and went to Hira.
