As we kissed I made a mental promise to myself to always keep her happy, and not let even a drop of tear come in her eyes. I will keep her as my princess, No, I will keep her like my Queen. She after all is Queen of my heart, after all she had been owner of my heart since the first day I had seen.
I feel like I am on cloud nine as I continue to kiss her, but then my happy moment didn't long last. I am shocked as she pushed me, did I do something wrong? Did I offend her? Oh, No!
She looks at me terrified, I begin to panic.
I look at her confused as she begins to smudge her massacre and kohl. More than surprised I am shocked as she yanks her sleeves. Why is she tearing her clothes?
Then I see Adnan come up and Aleesa runs to him crying. I am numb as she makes it look like I had forcing myself on her.
Before I could respond or say anything in my defense Adnan charged towards me hurling abuses.
I am beyond hurt. If she didn't love me, it would have hurt thousand time lesser. I take all the blow silently not once retaliated or tried to defend myself. I am numb, shocked and really broken. My heart shatters as I recollect everything she had just confessed and the kiss. All that was a lie?
Honestly the physical pain isn't hurting me. What is hurting me is the way she made mockery of my love for her. She has stained my pure love and made it look like something cheap. Adnan keeps bashing me, I felt blood ooze out from the corner of my lips and soon I felt giddy out. As everything goes dark around me, the only person I could see is Aleesa looking at me. I hear sounds around me, hearing the whole commotion people have come. I didn't know what happened after that as I loose my consciousness. My heart breaking into thousand pieces, this betrayal of trust and mockery of my love is going to leave a deep scar in me, a scar which will never heal, the broken trust that will never mend. The memory that will never stop haunting and the love that will never fade.
Perhaps someday Aleesa will move on, get the perfect guy she had wanted but I...I will always love her, no matter how much I try I can't love anyone else the way I love her. I can't see any other girl the way I see her, I can't give my heart to anyone else...because my heart isn't mine anymore, I had given it to her at day in summer 1990, the day I had seen her for the first time.
After that incident, I felt like a criminal. Every one avoided me, they looked at me strangely. Like I am some murderer or a rapist. If falling in love with a girl and kissing her is a crime then yes, I am a criminal. And I will bear every punishment for my unconditional love.
Urooj many times insisted that I tell the truth, tell everyone that Aleesa cleverly did everything, she is the culprit and not me.
But, how can I? If I say everything then her life will be ruined, the piercing and judging eyes that are on me will be on her. Her relationship with her brother, that is more dear to her than her life will be ruined, she will be broken and shattered. And I can't let that happen.
I can happily take the insults, the venomous glares and everything but I can't let anything happen to her. I can't let her reputation get tainted and break her relationship with her brother.
After all I had promised to myself that I will keep her like a Queen and not let tears come in her eyes and I am man of my words.
