Twisted Perfection

Engagement

" All this while I thought you were my most beautiful dream but then you made me realize that it was just a nightmare".

   Inaaya

Finally the day came , the dream which I admired for years is turning into reality but still there is no excitement nor I am happy. Because I know its just a deal where feelings are not mattered and love it's never going to happen.

I spent thousands of nights imagining this day but when it's happening right in front of my eyes I couldn't help but laugh at my misery.
Izhar you have really left me with nothing . I don't exactly know what should I feel or do . I promise you one think Izhar if you already consider  this marriage just a deal then I will walk away from you and your filthy deal  once the purpose is over.

I applied a layer of kohl to hide my tear striking face and went downstairs.
Our engagement was a simple one. Just mine and his family . As the other relatives were invited for nikaah ceremony and engagement happened in short notice.

The engagement was held in the backyard of my house. It was beautifully decorated with the shades of white and pink .

My brother came and held my hand then lead me to everyone . Not to mention it was getting difficult to walk in that cream lehenga. As I managed to look up my  gaze instantly met with Izhar's and  he was looking damn handsome in that cream sherwani which matched well with my outfit.

He looked at me intently as if trying to read my thoughts and then mouthed a quick thank you . I assured him with my eyes and went on stage.

We stood beside each other . Everyone eyes were on us may be giving us blessings for our new journey.
After a while I heard that Izhar said I look beautiful . I froze for a moment, am I imagining things or did he actually spoke and that too beautiful. And here I was thinking that I am standing beside a statue atleast he cared to make some movement or else seriously I was about to check whether he is alive or not.

I said thank you and was about to say him that he too looked handsome but my damn ego came inbetween. Memories of past came flashing in my mind and I kept ignoring him.

Soon after both our families came on the stage . Izhar's mum handed him the ring and my mother did the same. He grabbed by hand and placed the ring on my finger. I did the same.Clapps and cheers could be heard in the background and with that we sealed each other's bond of hate, deal, and unspoken love forever.

People were chatting and laughing. At one corner I set alone with me and my thoughts running around. Izhar after our engagement left to meet certain family friends. I could see him right in front of me laughing. Once that laugh was the most beautiful sound to my ears but now I just wish that he never came back in my life.
But allah has other plans and we should never judge them .

After some time people started leaving. Just our families remained . They were happy chatting in the dining hall while I changed and came back to the backyard.  Everything was like a dream to me which did came true but not in a way I wished it to be . 

Someone tapped on my shoulder , I turned around only to find Izhar standing right in front of me with a confused look. Immediately his eyes softened and no sooner he used his thumb to wipe away my tears. Only then I realise that I was crying.

He pulled me towards his chest and hugged me tightly. I cried in his embrace.  He murmured soothing words in my ears. After a while I pulled apart .

"Inaaya I know you are worried about your future . Listen if I was able to stop all this I would have but you know just for my mother's sake please bare me for some time."  Izhar said to me while still holding me.

" Yeah I know Izhaar but their is this fear that how we are going to live together . We once were in love but now honestly speaking I just wish you never would have came in my life".

Izhar suddenly jerked back and with anger in his eyes he was about to leave  but suddenly turned around and said ,

"I am not happy either to be with you and today you made me realize that I was wrong when I took the decision of loving a girl like you. You never cared about my feelings . You never loved me back .You always wanted that Rajveer, and that's the reason that you can't bear the sight of me right. But dont worry Ms.Inaaya you will be freed soon . From me , from this relationship and our contract".

With that he left. Why the hell he can't believe me that I was not wrong back then . Trust is the first step of love and here he didn't trusted me let alone love.

I just hope this phase gets over soon. And once the purpose is over I'll leave without a word. From now on I'll never make an effort to make him realize that I was innocent.
