Kyu mera dard nahi dikh raha apko Ara?

Kya meri Galti itni bari hai ki uski koi maafi nahi?

Wadeed whispered devasted by the pain he was getting afflicted with by every passing second.

He dashed out the room and straightaway walked out of the house.

Getting in the car he made his way towards his house

He sat on the floor near his bed thinking of all the things that happened moments ago

Kya ab woh meri Ara nahi?

His brain mocked him at his choice of words

Without a doubt he had lost his chance for nothing was same as before

But was it fair?

His heart whispered and like these were days of darkness and nothing would make the sun shine come out sooner

How could he accept that he was in a position where everything he did was unacceptable?

For letting go your love is nothing easy and simple.

Kya ab yahi meri saza hai?

Raima walked in her son's room to see his soon looking aimlessly at the walls in front of him

She stroked Wadeed's hair and it made Wadeed look at her direction as he held his mother's hands

Mamma

Wadeed whispered as he laid his head on his mother's lap

She has moved on Mama

My Ara has moved on with her life

Wadeed said and bitterly tears rushed down his cheeks

Apne toh kaha tha ki woh mujhe maaf kar degi par uss ne toh mujhe mauka bhi nahi diya Mamma

Aj uski Haldi thi,kal uski mehendi hai aur phir uska Nikaah hai

Woh kisi aur ki ho jayegi

Woh khush tha uski aankhon main Mohabbat thi Arzoo ke liye

Woh usse pyaar se Ara kehta hai
Bilkul meri tarah mama

Kya uski Mohabbat la-zavaal hai?

Aur meri La-Hasil?

As the day came to an end Arzoo couldn't stop thinking about Wadeed, his moist deep voice, his red eyes and his heart clenching words

Kya kabhi Mohabbat thi mujhse Ara?

Maan humare raaste saach much juda ho gaye

Arzoo whispered slowly as she recalled her words that was said by her as a joke but fate turned the lines bitterly true

Her thoughts were halted by a knock on the door

Taking a deep breath she opened the door of her room and saw the smiling face of Hanan's Amma Jaan.

Hum aa sakte hai?

Asked Maha Tahir Khan wife of Tahir Khan.

Arzoo smiled at her and then welcomed her in and as she sat on the bed she smiled warmly at Arzoo

Mere Hayat ki 'Noor' Amma jaan said with warmth in her voice.

As she took out the gold bangles Arzoo looked hesitated which made Amma jaan laugh
