"There are things about ourselves we don't want others to know. But, I trusted you and told you everything. And then, you let me down"-- These are the last words she told me before I left her there, alone. Since THAT cold rainy day, I never saw her again.   - - - Reigh Sueroz.

"Please Aki, be mine again... please.." -- he begged.He gave me these scars inside my heart and it took 4 years before I could finally say "I'm fine". He has no right to ask me to be back when I was never the one who left. 

 But...

after all the things I've been through because of him, why do I still want him in my  life?

No.. That is not THE WAY THINGS SHOULD BE. - - - Akiya Mielle Yuson

"...Don't show that you cared about my happiness, when you actually didn't. I doubt if you ever truly did care." I whispered the last part menacingly at him, clenching my jaw as my eyes filled with tears. The way his face hardened and his eyes dilated, I assumed he heard me as a muscle in his jaw ticked. I lowered my pointing finger and wiped my tears furiously from the back of my hand, looking away. "It's good that you got to know about everything before this marriage facade got out of our hands. Now, you'll realize that you never had any feelings for me and it was just an infatuation." He scoffed, looking away. His adam's apple bobbed as his veins popped out lividly. "Don't you dare insult my love, Wali! My love for you was so pure. You know what? You don't even deserve it." I told him, swallowing the lump in my throat. My voice came out harsh as my breath grew thin and ragged. I tried to control myself, reminding there were people in this house. Ya Allah, who was this man standing in front of me? ----- Meet Wali Rehman Khan and Aleyha Shaikh. They both grew up together, they were cousins by fate but best friends by choice. Wali had always been overprotective of her and deeply cares for her, fulfilling her every demand. She thought he loves her the way she loves him but how can he love when he hates even the thought of love? She had believed he would always be there for her but how wrong she was! He left and was back after five painful years. She no longer was the same teenager he last saw or knew, she had changed and changed for good. But still, around him, she didn't know how to feel. She tried but her heart was no longer in her control and she paid a heavy cost due to that. Was the payment worth it? Was it all along Allah's plan? -------------

But 'what am I in your life?" is the question that always be in their mind. 'Am I in your dreams, Am I in your thoughts, Am I being missed?', those questions to which we wanted to hear the (desired) answers but are scared of asking. Most importantly, we wish to know, 'Do those questions pop in your head TOO?' Because more than, 'I miss you', we always wonder about, 'Do you miss me like I do?' If those questions are in your head, then you're in a 'some relationship'. The relationship where you will find yourself hoping that it will get somewhere, and you'll end up in always hoping rather than realizing your destination. To fall in love with a person, age didn't set any restriction. To understand what love is, age and level of understanding played as barricades.

'Looking, yet not looking', became her way of high school life. Avoid him. Don't let him see you. Don't show him your emotions. Don't let him know anything about you! She lived abiding those warning signs. She met him again after many years and realized, those signs, had turned into her regrets. Is it any way possible that he can share her regrets? Will the beautiful memories become bitter? Won't their distance ever vanish? Will the yearnings of the heart, tear them apart? Won't the past ever return? Will their heart forever live like that? P.S: This story is inspired by movies that made me cry. So the credit goes to those movies!

She was lost and so was he. Who knew that two broken hearts can connect to one. Arabella's world has been rigged since the day she was born. Her fate had been decided for her much longer before she even had been conceived in the womb. So it came as no surprise when she found herself back at the beginning. As if the pain she has previously experienced wasn't enough, she now needs to relearn how to balance her life. She can't help but pray to the universe for a break. She was exhausted from fighting for all she had and watching her life fall apart just as quickly as it had come back together. Dominic's life was something he would forever be grateful for since he knew that he never had it as rough as others. But there were always going to be times that he wanted to give up. With the responsibility of leading an entire mafia and his own past commitment issues, he believes the barrier to letting go is far greater than what others tell him. And when new desires emerge, he notes how his heart skips a beat whenever he sees her. His instinct kicks in, and he raises his barriers twice as high as she lowers hers to make place for him. All I was guilty of, was showing them mercy when no one else would. ~~~ "I saw you, Dominic. I wish you saw me." "I see you." I freeze at his words, my back facing him. "I can only see you. Everything I look at, everything I touch, everything I smell always leads back to you. I spent most of my life thinking that my heart was my biggest weakness. I always imagined that it would be my downfall. I had a loving family and that was enough for me. Getting a girlfriend, getting married, having a family, none of that mattered to me. Before you." He pauses, taking a breath and my eyes water. "I kept any other part of my heart guarded and almost locked. It was as if I didn't have one at all. Even now, its still fucked up. The lock I've kept is warned out though the only person who has its key is you. It's yours."
