Ramadan Mubarak! ☺
*End Of Maryam*
-----------------------------
-Shehryaar-
"Is Maryam the one you love?" I was frozen when I heard her. I could feel her gaze on me, but I didn’t look at her. I don’t know how she know it.
"I don’t know what you are talking about." I mutter and rolled my eyes as I realise what a stupid thing I say. I heard her sighing before her step in front of me when I tried to move.
"You know what exactly I am talking about Shehry." She argued with me. I take few deep breaths and try to walk away, but she again stops me and I snapped.
"Why you even want to know? It doesn’t matter to you to know who she is to me." I said harshly and turned away from her when I saw hurt on her face. I mentally scold myself for being rude and for taking my anger out on her when I am angry at myself.
"It does matter to me Shehry. We are getting engage in a few weeks and I don’t want to keep anything that will open later in our lives that will create problems."
"Okay." I sigh and tell her all about Maryam because it was fair for her to know when she tell me everything about her past and this is the big secret I kept from her beside telling her that I loved someone else.
"So you still love her?" She asked me calmly after I tell her everything about Maryam. I look away from her silent gaze. This is the question I am asking myself. Do I still love her? I don’t know. I finally started to move on in my life and all this happened that caused me to stop and go back where I was. I started to accept that Maryam is not for me and Rimsha and I are gettinga engaged but because of all this I feel everything stop.
"I don’t know." I told her honestly. I feel guilty for whatever happening in between us. I heard her sigh and stay quiet for her to get her anger out.
"Shehry, I know it is not easy to forget about the person you love and I want you to think about it again. If you really want to move on then tell me. I will be waiting for your answer." She smiled at me sadly before walking away. I lowered my head and close my eyes tightly. I sigh and shake my head. I can't do this to her. I can't leave Rimsha when I already committed to my parents to marry her.
I think this is the end of Maryam in my life.
-Maryam-
"Assalam-o-Alaikum." I give my Salam as I enter into the dining room. I get a reply from my parents and grandparents. I sit the other side of my Dad and quietly start eating my breakfast. I look around and saw everyone eating quietly. I saw two empty chairs and frowned.
"Where is Safia and Aunty?"
"They are in their room. I tried to talk to them, but they didn’t want to talk now. I think they need time to take everything in." Mom replied to my question with a sigh making me nod. I looked at Simra before looking down at my plate.
I know this would happen. I know Aunty will take it more on herself than my parents. I have to do something to make everything right. I have to bring Saim back home with Nadia. I will talk Aunty about it after breakfast. With a mental nod to myself, I finish my breakfast and help Mom by taking everything in the kitchen.
Simra leave from home saying that she had some work to do, but I know she went to see Nadia and Saim. I don't know where Nadia is because Saim told me last night that he sent her at someone's house who he trust. He is staying at his friend's house.
I swallow nervously and close my eyes tightly before opening it again. Taking a few deep breaths, I raised my hand to knock on the door twice before taking a step back. I looked up and tried to smile, but it turned into a frown when I saw Aunty looking at my empty eyes. Her eyes were red and swollen without any emotion. My heart breaks seeing her like this. She steps aside for me to get in.
After she close the door, she motions me to sit in bed. She chooses to stand by the window looking down. I sigh mentally and went up to her before hugging her tightly. The hug was all she needs to break down. After a few minutes of crying, she tried to calm herself. She takes a breath in and release it slowly.
Her eyes held disappointment. I hate to see that because of Saim when there is my mistake as well. Maybe if I speak up last night, then this all wouldn't happened. Maybe if I tell everyone with Saim and Nadia then this wouldn't happen. But now I can't change it.
"Aunty can't you forgive Saim and accept him with his wife?" I asked her softly, hoping she would melt and understand but she shake her head.
"No, I can't. Saim Dad wanted you both marry, but I don't know he would do something like this. He hurt me, you and everyone by marrying someone else."
"Aunty, can I ask you something?" I waited for her to nod and when she did I continue. "Do you think if Uncle was with us then he wouldn't want to know what Saim wants?" She thinks for a few minutes before shaking her head making me smile softly.
"But Maryam, he didn't do right with you."
"No Aunty, don't think that he didn't do right with me because whatever he did was for my happiness and for everyone because if we get married for you all this I don't know if that marriage work because we would never love each other"
"You are right. I am sorry for reacting like that yesterday." She looks at me guiltily making me shake my head. She smiles slightly as she relaxes.
"You don't have to say sorry to me. I am not hurt or angry on you." I told her with a small smile. I stood up to walk away but before I could step out I heard her saying something.
"I want to make everything right. Will you help me with that?" I looked at Aunty and nodded with a soft smile.
