That Is Where My Heart Resides.

35.Mahoor.

He was fine few seconds ago but then something happened due to which I could say that it was all because of me but I couldn't figure it out that what it was.

I walked towards his room,trying to blink away the tears and maintaining a firm footing.I knocked until he appeared making me feel like my presence didn't matter to him.It made a part of my heart die seeing him in this condition.I let out a muted scream.

"What do you need now?", he said but the usual calmness in his voice and softness of his eyes vanished and the filtrate was all hatred and agony.

"I'm sorry", I apologised.

"Okay", he said with his breath icy cold,his eyes were like cold brown stones and he just avoided eye contact,closing the door and then before he could disappear into thin air I suddenly spoke up,in a voice full of desires.

I took a deep breath,as if I were about to deliver a speech infront of a crowded auditorium.

"Wait Sameer..."

And he just came back and stood there,his eyes fixed on the floor.He didn't utter a single word,neither added something but just kept replying to everything I said.Just like his soul had lost its demeanour,there wasn't any essence of calmness in his voice,it wasn't soothing but rather hurting and dejected,full of hatred for me.

"I've always been wrong,it was as if I just gave you an ocean of sadness.I've always behaved in a way I shouldn't,my words were always bitter no matter how much you loved me.I should've realised it earlier,I regret it now.How can I let relief wash over me when you are not even talking to me?", I explained trying to hold onto my crystals of water back to where they belonged.

"Does it matter to you?", he asked sternly.

It hit me straight through my heart like a bullet flashing straight through my chest,leaving a pool of blood.

"Maybe I never expressed it but it always mattered", I replied,tears straining my burned cheeks.

"I guess I didn't deserve you,after all this,I have to surrender", I said with my heart sinking and floating.

And then I didn't even bother to look at hin once,search in his eyes for an answer,or waited for his reply just walked briskly and tried to get him off my mind.

"I never said I'm angry at you", a voice echoed through my ears,sounding familiar.He held onto the last word to get my full attention.

I cocked my head to the side and saw him standing there.A soft smile fixed on his face.His eyes squinting,the mere curves and expressions turned into affirmative,which comprehended his insane fits if giggles.

And then there was nothing between us.I walked back to the place where I actually belong,to the place where my heart actually resided.I was breathing like I just came back from a marathon,my chest rising and falling,perspiration evaporating from my skin like morning dew,the delicate hairs on the back of my arms and on my back stood alert.My heart pounded against my chest,but its pounding could be felt in my ears which burned and I could bet that they were the same color of the freshly cut roses that were placed in his room.After all this easiness washed over me,my breathing was slower filling with fresh air.

And then I remembered how that day had burned in my memory so well.A zephyr of cool breeze,the violent yelling of street vendors,the cheering of boys playing cricket on streets,the aroma of freshly made naan and the smoke wavering from the fresh barbequed seekh kebabs.And before I could let myself into the air of my beloved country Pakistan,someone bumped into me like the bumper cars in a kids play area but the difference was that he just knocked me off.Smiling he just listened to all my complaints and taunts and bore all those sardonic gestures and my mocking features without saying a word but just smiling.And then he expressed how it was only me who he apologised to,because he didn't bother to talk to any girl.

Its impossible to believe that he is the same guy,who was so rude and arrogant with his so called ego,I should've not judged a book by its cover.Because I'm in love with the weird smirking guy.Totally insane and impossibly awkward hence so comforting.

And then I just throwed myself on him,tears squeezed out of my eyes as if I just saved it for this certain time,even though it was a false accusation.As soon as they made their way out,they fell on his black jersey and then it absorbed them just like he absorbed my fears,my anxiousness.How he just took the melancholic ocean of my sadness in him like it was easy.

"Can you stop squeezing tears on my body,it is making me wet you know", he laughed,snorting.

"I never knew you could get this close to my heart", I mumbled under my breath.

"Unfortunately you cannot escape because I got too close and letting me go isn't easy", he smiled generously,brushing my hairs with his fingers.

"Can I just ask you something?", I said with my eyes locked with his.

"No", he said.

I mean why not,because I know it would have something about in it", he laughed.

"Why do you care for me so much?", I asked desperately.

"You know what,there are things you love,you may remember your dolls you played with since your childhood,you handled them with care,didn't you?You cared for them more than yourself,were over protective for them.The same is the case here,I care for your feelings more than mine because I love you", he exclaimed.

"Thankyou for being that somebody in my life", I said on the verge of tears again.

"That's all what I ever wanted to be", he smiled,weakly wrapping me around his skinny arms,his sudden warmth tickling me.
