That Is Where My Heart Resides.

13.Mahoor

             
Some dreams are ought to be true!

For a complete second I just stood erected,my eyes weren't even blinking and all I could do was massage my throbbing temples.But then I pinched myself,convincing harder that it could be the same nightmare but it was a bitter truth which just send shivers down my spine.It just felt as if my head was weighing twice than it's actual weight and my mind begin whizzing.Their eyes narrowed on all of us,phuppos mouth just extended to a wider size and then she placed her bony hand upon it.All of a sudden I just blacked out and what my ears heard were low faint murmurs and sounds calling my name which afterwards almost vanished.

•••••

I woke up realising that I was being placed by someone on bed.Sweat rolls down over my body and my mind still is heavy,so I massage my temples and gently rub my forehead in silence.

My body becomes numb and my heart feels shattered.

Getting up from my bed I just settle the dupatta on my head and a strong colonge hovers over my dupatta,which mysteriously belong to someone familiar.Sameer.

Only one thing goes around my mind.Did he just pick me up and placed me here?Ya Allah please let it be not,not that rude guy.

I walk towards the guests room but the voices almost scare me off and I fail to step inside and just eavesdropped whatever the talk was about.My eyes noticed that everyone was present here,with the three people,phuppo,Omer and Warisha.With Warisha holding the ring cover in her hand.Moving to the side I saw Omer who I suspected to be the one urging about engagement as a weird smile was spread on his face.He was the same as before.His oily hairs felt damp and tangled.Eyes darker than charcoal and were mysteriously glinting,his skin was the color of white sheet but he totally wasn't worth it.

With that I just backed away listening to everybody and hearing all about what was going in before I went blank.

(Conversations in the guests room between all of the members,but mostly involving Phuppo's family and Mahoor's parents while Sameer's family also participated in)

"We were about to tell you-", Ammi broke the silence,a slight cracking in her voice.

"What?!", Phuppo demanded snarling,it seemed as if she would boil forth out of her anger on Ammi.

"Baji you also didn't inform us anything about it", Baba blurted.

"How come I didn't?", Phuppo snapped.

"You didn't tell us about it", Ammi replied softly.

"That day I just called but you were busy,and Mahoor picked up the phone and-", she stopped.

"And?", Ammi asked.

"We were busy buying the engagement ring", Phuppo exclaimed suddenly out of words.

"Baji we weren't aware of this,and you should've told us about it coming,because now Mahoor is already engaged to Sameer.

Narrowing her eyes at Sameer Phuppo stood up.

"Fareeha I never knew you were such a betrayer" Phuppo mentioned straightening her shirt.

"Baji I have to talk about this to Mahoor before even all of this happening,its not just we have to decide,her decision must also be treated as equal", Ammi tried to calm down Phuppo who was almost going to kill everyone by her bitter tongue.

"I guess we shall be leaving", aunty Ameena stood up sadly,motioning Sameer to follow.

"Ameena-", Ammi tried to stop her while she just walked out.

"Fareeha where is Mahoor?", Baba questioned and I just got anxious and tried to go back when I met Sameer and Ameena aunty.

"Aunty I really-", I was cut off  by her.

" Mahoor beta,I'm sorry and I know its not your fault,don't just think that I'm angry at you or something else,because now everything is in the hands of Allah,Allah Hafiz (take care)", with that I just glanced for the last time at Sameer who was seemed in a deep glow and in an extreme state of melancholy.

A bitter sweet smell hung in the air while the voice of Ammi and Baba speaking out of forced casualness rang in my ears.

Instead of being caught I made my way to my room and just bounced on the bed,rolling myself into a ball,hugging my knees tightly.Tears streaming down my eyes.

Why can't Phuppo find someone else for Omer?
Is there a problem in that?
Definitely no.
Why is it always me,the one who is the victim of all bad things?
Why me?

Soft steps followed into my room.I peaked through and saw Ammi coming forth,she was almost breaking just like I was as it was her who just got to hear the mocking and taunting,I felt pity for her and wanted to just rip Phuppos head off but it was impossible.She might've recognised me whimpering and awake.

"Mahoor", she called stroking my hairs.

Please don't let it be a bad news,oh please.

"Mahoor,I'm sorry", Ammi pleaded.

"For what?", I asked getting up from the bed wiping my tears.

"You're getting married to Omer next week",Ammi said uncontrollably,choking on words.

My heart just stopped beating and the words rang in my ears and head.

"You're getting married to Omer next week"

A/N: Do you feel sorry for Mahoor?I feel sad too.
