MAKING AMENDS

A string of events that led to both of them meeting each other.
Aina dreamt of forever with this stranger she met whereas Amaan just wanted revenge...
and he succeeded but with consequences..
He fell in love with Aina along the way, and it killed him to hurt her.

"He runs his fingers over my walls like they are the most exquisite thing he has ever seen.
It is ironic, Is it not? Who the heart beats for...
And i hide my vulnerabilities from him, not because I fear falling for him but because I already have...............................
And now I know what it feels like; to watch the one you ache for fall like raindrops and not feel a single thing.
And to finally realize that all that love inside them was never meant for you but as a mere blanket to hide their inner demons."
~AINA

"I did not forget you........How could I " Amaan said teary eyed

"Then why is everything so different now???" Aina rose the question I have long waited for her to ask

"I think we both are finally who we were supposed to be, on the road to a new life of healing and forgiveness" I say

she gets on her toes and hugs me as tightly as she can, leaving no space for anything to pass between us and whispers in my ears, "This is what I have been waiting for, for you to forgive yourself before forgiving others."
Her breaths clash with my neck and after a whole lifetime without her.....
After struggling and drowning in my own sins, I can finally breathe.

Hushed voices and deep breath are all we can hear.
