Her love & her regrets

chapter #17

Aslam o alaikum guys

Faraz's pov:

What a fate I'd been awarded with....

I didn't know what was that but when Hania expressed her love for someone else, there was stung in my heart but I ignored it.

No I didn't love her, my heart beated only for Naila, it's just I expected my life partner to only think about me or love me but whom am I kidding...
I also expected Naila to be my life partner.

I wished there wasn't Aaliyaan in our lives, then maybe we were living  peacefully.

After Hania went from cafe, I sat there thinking that now what would happen, I really didn't want to marry her but we both were stuck.

I pitied her because she also didn't get the love of her life and we both would not be able love each other knowing that we both had someone else in our hearts...

I was sure that this marriage won't work besides we both were very different from eachother. Atleast I assumed that.

I was sitting in my office when there was a slight knock on the glass door.

"come in"  I said in bored tone. Door clicked open and Fahad made his presence, surprising me.

"Aslam o alaikum bro how are you? " He asked as he opened up the buttons of his royal blue coat and sat on chair across my table.

"You didn't go to office today?" I asked back because usually Fahad didn't go any where in working hours.

"I'm also fine" Sarcasm coated his voice, I chuckled but rolled my eyes.

"Yes I was in office but I was free for sometime so I thought to check up on you and ask about your plans" he explained then.

"What plans? " I frowned. He looked at me like I'd grown two heads.

"Man you're getting married in 5 days and you are sitting here like a dumb" He reasoned.

"Yes dad is doing all the preparations, he had already booked the venue and decided the menu, and today he will send Aunty Aasia a wedding dress for Hania, as for as I'm concerned so I'll buy suit a day before the Nikah. You should also purchase a beautiful dress for Hoorain as well" I told him about all things.

"Don't punish yourself like this Faraz, please be happy, I'm 100% sure that you are  the lucky man to marry a girl like Hania. She'll make your life beautiful" I again rolled my eyes.

Why everyone is praising her?

"Don't be so sure Fahad. You don't know anything" I raised my voice a little. He pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Okay as you wish but if there is something you wanna tell me then you can share with me" He said, I was hesitant because he was already stressed out due to Hoorain's health and I couldn't make him more tense by telling him my problems.

"Faraz I know that you had feelings for Naila" I was staggered at his revelation. How did he know about that?  His eyes glistened at her mention.

"I'm your best friend dude,  we're like brothers. I was well aware about your feelings from the day first but  you never shared it to me, I was also giving you your space thinking that you'll tell me when you would be comfortable but see time never gives us space and chance to delay anything... It just changes everything in a blink" he was staring directly into my eyes whereas first time in my life I wasn't able to meet his eyes. I was ashamed of myself.

"It's not like that Fahad. I didn't want to lose you, I thought you would get mad at me for liking your sister."
I tried to make my point.

"But see I knew it and I'm not mad at you because you were waiting for the right time but now if you'll not take a chance and open your heart once again for someone else then you might would regret your whole life because this is the right time and right opportunity to forget the past and move on in your life...  Believe me moving on pushes you to Heaven"  He beseeched.
