PROLOGUE

MIR MUSTAFA AHWAAN'S POV

🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

Emptiness... Is what I feel... Darkness is what I dwell in... The day she left, she took away everything of mine. The day she left, was the day I realised I should not have let her go. She is the girl I was always in love with. And till now I can't get over her.

The day I saw her leaving, was the day my heart stopped beating....She was my everything and will always remain so.

I wasn't able to stop her, back at that time. How could I ? I broke her. The man who promised to be by her side always, was the one who turned his back towards her. She was right when she said I lost everything. I was the one who burned down everything with my own damn hands. I was the one who turned down her love. I insulted her love calling it to be her infatuation towards me. 

How wrong I was ? I regret, I regret everything. I regret turning down her love. I regret breaking my birdie, my innocent birdie. I wish she was here, with me, next to me. I wish she never left.

That day I was helpless to say 'I do' letting her go away from me forever, but today there is nothing which bounds me. 

I am free of everything which stopped me from making her mine, but now I won't stop. I won't stop until she is mine.

I need her with me. I need her to keep me sane. She is my sanity. She is the reason of my existence. Her thoughts, her words of affection are what keeping me sane from destroying everything.

And now when she is coming back nothing can stop me from making her mine. She was, is and always be mine. Mine to love, mine to cherish. There will be no Mustafa without his Maria. She is the reason of his existence and she will be responsible for his destruction if he doesn't have her, beside him, as his, forever.

MARIA ALI AHWAAN'S POV

🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

Love! One word, but associates everything with it. Everything you could ever think of.... Love is happiness, love is pain. Love is what I fantasized about as a young girl. Love is what I felt for him. 

Everything! He was my everything. He was the man who cared for me. He was the man who was my partner in crime. He was the man for whom I could die for. He was the man who wiped my tears away. Ironic isn't it ? He was the reason of my Happiness, yet he changed everything. He ruined me.

Actually, I ruined myself. It is me who is responsible for her own destruction. I was the one who fell in love, not him. He never asked me to love him and yet I did. I wasn't able to stop myself from loving him.

I stopped, I forced my heart not to fall for him, but I failed. I failed to protect my heart.

But, in all these years I have learnt to move on. Every wish cannot come true. Every wish cannot be fulfilled.

Now I am free. Free from his love, which gave me nothing but suffocation. I have learnt to live without them. Without him.

I am over him. I think so.

I might be going back after all these years but I will not let him affect me anymore. His existence, his words, he doesn't matter now. My family, my heart belongs here, in Mumbai. The best feeling is not falling in love but falling out of love with someone who never loved you. Mir Mustafa Ahwaan, there was a time when I needed you every step of my life but now everything has changed.

Once, there was a time Maria was nothing without Mustafa but now she is better off without Mustafa. She is more worthy than she was before.
