I Found Myself In You..

The Unexpected Incident

"You were broken glass,
But I still touched you..
Even though I knew,
I would get hurt....

Armaan's POV:
It had already been 3 days and they were back..back wasn't what was to be concentrated on...it was our chat..Mayrah and i hadn't chatted ...since she went there it was on the first day..and on the second..she saw my message! She did! The ticks went blue and my cheeks turned red..no this wasn't the first time! It was all the time..I don't know what she did to me! It was just an out of the world and never-experienced feeling!

I still didn't know why she didn't reply...the next day I waited and waited for her to come..I was worried,upset,angry,hurt all at once..I arrived at the college early just so that I could meet her but yet again I lost hope of her coming as i did when i hadn't seen her message..I knew in both the cases that she wouldn't come, maybe was busy and wouldn't reply..but sometimes against all odds and circumstances we hope...and as the college started with its classes, I see Zara hurrying and felt that my hope wasn't for nothing after all..

I hurriedly reached her and asked her where Mayrah was and she blankly replied that she didn't know..and asked me instead where she was..I was shell-shocked! What was happening?
I told her an okay..and got more worried..with each passing second my mind presented me with different possibilities and some were such that I just wanted to stop using my brain! Mayrah! I hope you're alright!

I kept worrying..maybe I was thinking too much..maybe it's not like the things my mind kept telling me..maybe it was just some busy schedule or an extra stay back..after the 2nd day she didn't come online..that was 'positively' assumable as either a power cut or internet loss or maybe dead battery..but my mind just wouldn't go in that direction! What if she was upset or worried over something taking stress and tension? What if she's not well or something really huge and upsetting had come up?
I really needed answers!

Zara's POV:
"As soon as I entered he asked me where you were!" I told Mayrah..yes, I knew where she was and why she was..I knew everything! But as she told me not to tell him I didn't..life wasn't fair with her..it really wasn't! But everything's planned here by the best of planners isn't it..and trusting him I controlled my tears and told him that..., I didn't know..It hurt but....

*Sobbing* "Please? Take care and see don't get worried about me..I'll get fit and fine and come back!" Mayrah said..But if she just told it..., I wouldn't stop worrying about her would I?
"Mayrah..all I want you to be is fine..and nothing else..he's here waiting for you..it hurts to see him that way.." I said..referring to Armaan obviously..

"He'll be just fine! Two or more days and he'll get habituated..it'll hurt him but not as much as it would if he got to know! So it's fine..it's for his best.."
"You miss him don't you?" I asked knowing what she'd reply and she just replied a hmm..I could hear her silent sobs and still not be able to do anything..that just broke and tore me apart to the smallest bits and pieces there could be!

I told her to take care and as I turned around, I saw..zeesh..I hoped he didn't hear anything but I was too late..
"Health, fine,come back, for his good?? What is going on zara?" He asked me and I, trying to hide it and lie replied saying,
"Oh it's nothing..Mayrah didn't come today so I asked her where she was and she told me that she wasn't well..that's why!"
I lied! Wow! I can't believe it! But I had to..

He looked at me with a serious and concerned expression..and asked me again as to what had happened and I broke..it was just too much! My eyes had gone puffy last night crying and thinking about it and now again..only i knew how I managed to hide it..I told him everything from A to Z and he too seemed really really upset and worried..

He was just shocked! Like I was! Like anyone would be because it was all Soo sudden! He just wiped away my tears and told me,
"Trust him! He has everything under his control and what will happen will be for the best.."
He was true but all I knew and wanted at that moment was, Mayrah, My Mayrah to be perfect and alright..
