DARK

Chapter 3

'You're sitting here, I was about to call the police to report that you're missing.' Kashaf sat down on the grass, facing Shahmir and breathing heavily. 

Shahmir looked at her briefly, he was so in love with her since he got to know about love. They were friends since their childhood. For Shahmir, Kashaf was the only one who knew him the most, and she was all aware of the feelings and insecurities he had within himself but still loved him the same. 

'Hey, lostie, what are you thinking? You never saw a beautiful girl like me before?' Kashaf waved her hand in the front of his eyes, a naughty expression was lighting up her eyes. Shahmir smiled with all his heart and his caramel eyes were brightened up with his inner joy.

'Haha, never. Actually, you never released me to see somebody else.' He said. Kashaf blushed. Shahmir laughed. 

'And I am not doing that, otherwise, you'll run away to someone prettier than me, and she will leave you in few days and you'll come back and I'll be married to someone hotter than you.' She said, in a dramatic tone and with a funny expression on her face.

'That will be happening over my dead body.' Shahmir said, Kashaf put her hand on his mouth immediately, and pulled away in a second, embarrassed. Shahmir laughed so hard.

'Don't ever say that, Meeru. NEVER EVER.' She said angrily and walked away. Shahmir got up and ran behind her.

Kashaf wiped her eyes and sat down on his grave. She never knew that she will love him more after his death. He was so right, so right. 

'Why did you say that Meeru? Didn't you know that sometimes our words become the scariest reality, Why?' She cried. All her wounds were refreshed and aching so bad that she rested her head on his grave.

'I love you, Meeru, and I always will.' Kashaf whispered.

You always get the return of what you do in this world. This was a return to what Kashaf did. 

She fell in love with Shahmir after his death.

'I am giving you a year, in this one year, you are going to leave all your useless passions and work in my office, if you prove that you're capable of this, you can marry Kashaf.' Sikander said.

Shahmir sighed, and walked out of the room. He knew this. 

But he wasn't sad, he knew that Kashaf was the one who knew him completely, and she will never stop him from painting. She will be happy to see him progressing. 

He opened his diary, and wrote.

'Just one year to go. After that, I will do whatever I want to do and no one will stop me, because finally, I have someone in my life who loves the REAL ME and will never leave for the stupid reasons my father have to hate me. I really love her and she loves me too. Life will be better, it will be better soon.' He closed his diary and looked out of his window, at the sky. He never felt the beauty of the sky before today, the air touching his body never felt so good, and it was all because of the weather of his heart. He closed his eyes and smiled whole heartedly. 

But, he wasn't right.

Kashaf never loved him, and he got to know this when it was too late.
