Doors to our dreams

Chapter 30- first heartbreak

Anaya's POV
Continuation...
"I was at the wedding ma and Myrah fractured her leg so we went to the hospital ." I said.

"I know that after that where did you go " she asked seriously. My heartbeat increased. "Mom I then I came home. There was traffic. " I reasoned.
I was shocked what happened after that. I could feel pain stinging my cheeks. My mom.. Slapped me. For the first time. "Don't you dare lie to me. I'm your mom I know where you was. With that Riyaz. I've got to know all your games. I never thought you would cheat me.. Shehhhhh. " mom shouted disgustfully. I saw Aahil Bhai coming down the stairs. "Mama he's just her friend" he tried to convince her. "Shut up! Aahil you are the one who has spoiled her so much. I'm her mom I know what she's doing. Shameless creature." She seethed. Fresh tears were slipping down my red cheeks. The pain was stinging in my cheek.

"Enough Ma. It's enough" I shouted my voice cracking. "I'm not a kid anymore.. I'm 23 for gods sake. You don't have the right to cage me all the time. I was so tired of my in this house. I feel like a caged bird ma. Do I have any freedom in this house. No.... Right from childhood I'm done with your lessons MA. Leave me alone, I feel so stifled. If I'm getting some happiness from Riyaz now u won't let that also?" I shouted.

" you better control your words. Let your dad come. Understand one thing it's the parents responsibility to take care of their child till she gets married, do you have any idea what I felt when Niya called me and told that you are hanging out with Riyaz. She even sent me you pictures. Ice cream.. Mall.. And god knows what haram things you guys might have done in London. I felt so betrayed. So foolish that I couldn't control my child." Mom said crying.

I didn't want to speak anything. I walked away to my room.
I locked up and sat on my rug. Know I get everything. I had seen Niya in the ice cream parlor but didn't talk to her hoping she won't create a chaos there. How could she do this. What have I done to her. Ya Allah...

I couldn't sleep the whole night. My pillow was soaked wet.

So many thoughts were flooding through my head. I got ready for college unwillingly.

My mom hasn't said anything nor did I since morning. I was about to leave. "Wait how are u going?" Mom asked. I sighed. Mm not again.. "Bus" I said. "No Aahil will drop you and pick and from today you are not going anywhere without my permission. You are going to college to study not fall into unnecessary traps" she snapped at me.
I gulped and shut the door with all my might causing a loud thud. "God knows what is got into this girl." She was saying. I went and sat in his car waiting for him to come.

"I'm sorry about yesterday" Bhai said as he started driving. "Hmm" I said. My eyes were so puffy due to lack of sleep and continuous crying. So I decided to wear a sunglass.

"It wasn't meant to be happening Anaya- " I cut him off. "Bhai please I have no strength now. " I said looking out. He remained quiet. I didn't even bid him bye.

"Anaya." I met Filza. "Why are you wearing sunglass. Are you ok?" She asked. I didn't speak anything. She removed it. She was shocked.

"What happened to your eyes?" She asked. I was trying my best to control my tears. But it gave in. I hugged her tight. Started pouring all my problems to her. "It's ok we can sort it out." She assured me. After a lot of convinces I was somewhat ok.

"Don't let him be your weakness. Stay strong you'll be ok." She said.
I nodded. We entered the class and I took my seat beside Filza. I started revising some concepts.. My heart was so heavy.

Riyaz looked at me and gave me a what happened look. I simply looked away into my book. Filza squeezed my hand. It gave me strength. Myrah wasn't coming.

He went and sat back. The lecturer was explaining. After the class. We both were heading out.

When he stopped me. "Riyaz please excuse us." Filza said. "What is it?" He asked me. I was acting dumb. It was break time. I sighed. I saw Niya walking past us.
She gave me an innocent smile. I glared at her.
We were at the corridor. I tried walking away but he was blocking me. "What is it there?" I heard Marie maam ask. He let me go.

We were at the cafe having some snack. But I didn't want to eat anything. It was so boring without Myrah.

After a lot of other classes. It was the end of the day. He didn't get a chance to talk to me after that. I can say I didn't let him..
After college Bhai was already waiting. I hugged Filza and left.

I went home took shower. When I was returning from the washroom, mom was sitting on the bed. I didn't speak anything. I looked at her. "Anaya I'm sorry.." She said. I ran into her arms and burst out in tears. "Mama I'm really sorry. I shouldn't have behaved so rude." I said between tears. She caressed my cheeks. "It's ok I understand."she Said.
"Mom I know you did it for my goodness. But I can find my happiness in him ma. "I said sitting on my rug.
She sighed. "Anaya do you have any idea how wrong this is. " she said. "It's haram Anaya." She continued.

"But-" I said. She cut me of. "If you are so keen then make it halal." She said half seriously. "Mom.. What are saying" I shouted. "Maraige. Anyway it's time right" she said.
I gulped and grinned at her and changed the topic.

After she left. I was lying on my bed.

It was 8.00 pm. He was calling continuously. I rejected his call.  So many messages.

Suddenly I heard something shaking behind my curtain. I was terrified. I walked to the window side with a flower vase on my hand.

When I approached the curtain. I was terrified. "Agghhhhhh" I started screaming but the person closed my mouth. He was wearing a black hoodie and sunglass. I am sure I'm gonna get kidnapped now....
