Third person P.O.V

" Zayed ..... No    No " Hiba Screamed while panting for her breathe. She sat still and began to breath hearder. This was what her mornings consisted of. The same nightmare , the same place, The same haunting face.
For everyone else waking up to a dream of their loved one would be perfect but for Hiba it was the worst thing that could ever happen to her. She hated dreaming about him. She hated thinking about him. She hated him and its high time She Remembered to forget him.

       She stood and walked towards her washroom. Once she made wudu and prayed fajr she sat and did some dikr.

~~~~~~~~~   Flashback; ~~~~~~~
         Hiba's P.O.V.

   " zayed I'll be right back " I said and walked away to the nearest store to grab some ice cream. Once I purchased the ice cream  I walked towards the car. And then out of no where a truck crashed into zayed's car.

She wiped away the few drops of tears that betrayed her and decided to freshen up.

Hiba's outfit for the day.

She had her breakfast with Aman, her brother and climed into his BMW. She was lost again in her thoughts , thoughts which always remained to trigger his memories. No matter how much she tried to forget he came back haunting her in her thoughts. No matter how much she tried to forget him her heart craved for him , his love and his warmth.

  " how long are you planning to live like this ? Hiba you need to move on! " Aman questioned.

Its obvious that he was frustrated but he had no idea what happened. No one knows what happened. He didn't just leave her alone with his departure he broke her and her  trust.

" inshallah" she replied which shut him up.

" I'm just worried about you and I hate seeing you this depressed" Aman said with worry.

' only if you knew how much I hate being me right now' she  thought.

" I'm trying Aman " she replied instead.

She wished  aliya was here. She would have understood. But then again she too was  like everyone else pestering her  to move and get married.
 
Aliya pretty much went through the same thing expect that her ex late husband didn't deceive her. But hats off to her strength she's nikahfied and ready to embrace Sufiyan bhai and start a new life with him. But hiba's case was different . A lot different that no one actually understood her situation and her fear of commitment.

Aman stopped in front of the humongous building  " we are designers" Hiba's  own workplace.

She said salam to her brother and entered her office and began to work.

Something that she always loved to do ,

Something that will never betray her unlike someone she knew.

She worked like a vampire in bloodthurst. That's how focused she was regarding her work.

She was planning to open a new modest clothing sector and was halway discussing about it with the heads of the other departments when she caught a glimpse of   saraya .

Hiba looked away from the glass window and focused on what she was saying . once the meeting was done she dismissed everyone and hurried towards the car park. She picked one of her cars and drove quite rashly towards her home.

She ran and locked her door. She threw everything her hand could get hold of. The frustrating didn't seem to fade away. She was sick and tired of being broken. But being broken is what explained her situation.

She fell back to the floor and sobbed reminiscizing the good and bad times she spent with Him only to have saraya  ruin everything. She couldn't really blame it all on her but she wanted someone to blame that was only her. The other woman that ruined her life.

She was done hurting. She was fed up of being alone. She craved for someone to understand her but no one did.

She wanted to move on yet she was stuck in the same page , in the same line of the same chapter. She just wanted someone to turn the page for her or maybe burn the book for all she cares.

She still cried at the memories of him , just not as much as before. She just started healing for the wound was cut too deep. Afterall he wasn't just someone in his life. They were  bound together in something much more sacred that anything in this dunya ( world).

They were Nikahfied.

He was Hers and She was His.

That's what she thought until she found out about his secret.  He never came off as someone who'd hurt a person to such an extent, specially not his spouce.

Specially not Hiba, for everyone knew how much she loved him.

" Did he even feel something for me?" She questioned herself. The same question she kept asking herself for the past two years. But she never got the answer. He was gone and never coming back.

At the dinner table it was just her and her brother as always. If your wondering whether they're orphans then the answer is no. They weren't. They have quite a huge family.

Their parents were in Egypt visiting some relatives.
Hiba refused to go with them and her brother had no choice but to stay with her.

" so how's work? " Aman questioned breaking the silence .
  " tiring " she replied and kept eating.
  " zee is coming back" Aman dropped the bomb.
" zee .. Who?" She questioned uninterested.

" no one " Aman dropped the topic.

Aman was surprised to know that she didn't remember zee. The same zee who would side with her and leave his bestfriend.  Aman was dissapointed with Hiba's attitude. For forgetting someone like zee for a guy like Him.  She was making everyone around her suffer while killing herself and as a brother there was nothing he could do. He could only pray that someone would ease all his little sister's pain. 

~~~~~~~flashback~~~~~~~~
  Zee's p.o.v.
            " Aman I'm coming back"   I waited for his reply to only hear him telling me to stop joking around.
" u caught me bro" I laughed joining him. But this time I wasn't joking I was actually going to get my girl.
