"Behind my back." His eyes faltering a little, turned darker, yet he kept his stance strong and defensive.
"I told you, I had no choice." Slowly, my words started coming back to me, my head starting to clear. "Oh no." I shook my head in warning...
Dedicated to one of the closest people in my life, my partner in crime, my customized secret-keeping vault, someone whose thoughts/speech replicate mine, my annoying but lovely best friend: Fatima. Jaani, you can't even comprehend what you mean to me. I know we are going through some obstacles but I believe we will make it out, with a bright smile and blackmail of secrets ;)Although it is probably gonna be me getting engaged or Nikah-fied first (NOT RIGHT NOW, JAAN CHORDO MERI SAARE KE SAARE;)), we are totally something else, I love you to the end, and yeah, YOU DIDN'T JUST ABANDON ME ON MONDAY FOR NOTHING!! I MISSED YOU LOTS JAANII :*(

My heart was heavy as I sat on the sofa. Hands were shaking as I played with my wedding ring, looking anywhere but the woman sitting in front of me. She was sitting there silently, after I told her what happened yesterday. I desperately wanted Ammi to say something.
To tell me that Baba lied to me, and the truth was completely different.
My heart yearned to hear those words, because even though my heart went out to Baba, I was torn between my love for Ammi and my empathy towards Baba. I had known Ammi longer than I had ever known Baba. I just couldn't picture her cheating her husband for vengeance.
She sat there, silent tears running down her face. Her head was down, her Dupatta covering her hair. She looked like a defeated woman. I wanted to ask her if that was the truth. I wanted to tell her that I wanted her to be innocent in this. I wanted her to be my cute, happy mother. But was she, really? My throat clogged with emotions as I looked at her slumped figure. She refused to say anything. Was it really the truth? Was it the utmost truth, which had been hidden from me?
"Ammi, p-please say something" I pleaded her to look at me, tell me that I had got it all wrong.
Instead, she let out a sob. I closed my eyes, trying to restrain myself from throwing myself into her arms and hugging her until she stopped crying.
"A-Ammi batao na, please.." I once again pleaded and she looked up at me with different emotions in her eyes. No more was she the defeated woman, she had different emotions.
And right then I knew, that whatever she was going to say, I needed someone there with me, someone whom I could hide in.
I quickly got up, and headed towards the bedroom where Rehan was sitting in, fiddling with his phone, headphones in. My heart swelled, he tried his best to give us privacy. He didn't try to invade, but he didn't know that I needed him to be there.
I really needed him, more than ever. He looked up at me as I approached the bed. I brought my hand up to his level, waiting for him to take it. He looked at me, confused.
I motioned my hand once again and begged with my eyes. Suddenly, he took my hand and got up, and led me towards the door.
I was suddenly turned around and encircled in his arms. I looked up at him with tears in my eyes, and he kissed my forehead, as he said something which made me just want to cry all over again.
