Sania's POV,
The sun is in my eyes disturbing my precious sleep. I groggily cover my eyes in my sleep. Irritated, I turn the other way wide awake now and see him. Mr Fancy pants. Oops sorry, my husband.'Wait, he said he'd like it lf I call him that. If he's saying it himself then will it be wrong if I called him that?'He looks soo peaceful when he's asleep. Kinda cute I can say. Wow! He has really long lashes. So thick hair, and that pointy nose. Yep he's handsome. Maybe.
"Goodmorning" I heard him say, his eyes still closed. And he's smiling.
"Um- I- uh" I scrambled a bit back mortified. 'what the hell was I doing?'
"Did you sleep well?" He opened his eyes and propped his head ov
Sania's POV,I'm not used to wearing a duppatta on my head everyday around the house. But now that I'm married, I have to do it always, everyday, without fail. The room is the only place where I have a freedom.Zaheer and I keep on going out every evening meeting mine and his relatives. It's exhausting. Sometimes, he takes me out on dates too. 3 days ago he asked me the most dreaded question.'Where would I like to go on our honeymoon?'I know he said he won't do anything, but still... Come on..... We'll be all alone. That to for 2 weeks he said.What if he--- and I can't even say no. He's my husband! Just the thought of it makes me nauseous. I kept on ignoring the topic but finally he cornered me and I literally meancorneredme.
Zaheer's POV,A week's finally over in Simla. Now we actually look more like a couple. We hold hands walking around, sometimes I put my arm around her, taking pictures and everything. Both trying to do our best.She- trying to get close to me &I- trying to maintain the distance.Yep, it's tough.I came to the room late as I was busy talking to the guide after our visit to the Johnnie's wax museum. As I walked in, I saw Sania fallen asleep sitting on the bed. Her duppatta drooping from one of her shoulders, its edge touching the floor and her face turned to a side. She looked so peaceful. I just stood near her, watching her sleep soundly. Her lips parted a little as she breathed.'so tempting'I shook my head and stepped back.'No Zaheer! You can't!' I reminded myself.
"Aahhha...... no Zaheer.....don't" Sania moaned."Hold on Sania, just a bit longer""I- it hurts..... Please......aahhaa..... nhhaaa... Not so hard....mmmnnaaahh...Be gentle....aah""Aw, ....aww, Sania......, not so tight...." Zaheer winced."Ahhaahhnhh....""Don't scream so much, what will people think?" Zaheer teased with a smirk."You're soo crue...l... Ahhh.""It's ......almost..... done...""Za....heer......ouch....""All done"
Sania's POV,We are meeting at the mall."He'll be here in a minute" Madiha said excitedly hanging up the phone.I nodded and then HE came.My eyes popped out and my jaw dropped down. 'Wtf! He's Ruhail!? He's Madiha's boyfriend? Ya Allah no.'He looks like someone jumped out of a Bhojpuri movie. That yucky gel hair, that top unbuttoned shirt, that walking style, even ear piercing?! He just missed a hockey stick in his hand to look like a total thug.'Ya Allah! What did this poor girl get herself into?'"Bhabhi this is Ruhail and Ruhail, this is my Sania bhabhi""Salam walekum" he said in such an attitude as if he was doing a favour on me.
Sania's POV,'Ya Allah! They are planning to run away?! No I can't let that happen. I need to stop her. Should I tell Zaheer? No, if I do maybe things can get out of control and someone might get hurt. I just need to talk her out of this'."Like that worked perfectly before" my conscience mocked me.Right it didn't work but- what do I do????Just then I heard the door opening. So I ran to find an hiding spot. I took advantage of the dark and stood motionless in the shadows hoping she wouldn't notice me and she didn't. Just taking a bag and a purse with her she rushed downstairs.My mind went in a frenzy. I didn't knew what to do, so I just followed her. She took her scooty and was out of the area in no time, I followed her on mine. Mumbai is a city that never sleeps so it was no surprise all the streets were lit up.Although, she took a turn in an area which wasn't that lit. The streets
Sania's POV,Its been almost a month since the incident. Everyone is trying to forget it now, although, Madiha is still depressed. I don't blame her, Mom is still mad at her. Zaheer and I try to cheer her up but how can a daughter smile when her mother won't look at her the way she did before. Mom loves her ofcourse, but they don't see eye to eye. It's painful to watch. They started speaking just recently when Madiha's 12th board exam's results came out. She secured 89% Mom complained that its quite low because of her distractions and she won't get an admission in a good medical college. But Zaheer said he'd pay heavy donations for his sister if it comes to it. Madiha cried a lot to see her always supportive mother disappointed in her again.Mom took away her cellphone and restricted her from stepping out of the house alone, not even with me. Did I forget to mention Mom is mad at me too? She hardly talks to me. Can I blame her. Nope."As
Sania's POV,I opened my eyes to a gentle touch on my cheek. I saw Zaheer leaning on his elbow beside me."Good morning and happy anniversary" he said planting a kiss on my forehead."Hm...what anniversary?" I said sleepily."Don't tell me you forget! I thought girls were the ones to remember these kind of stuff and harass thier husbands" he said."What are you talking about?" I checked the watch, it was 12 am. "Ugh! Let me sleep Zaheer" I grumbled unable to keep my eyes open.He shook me. "Did you forget what day it is?" He sounded like a child."Go check in the calendar if you've forgotten" I said, my eyes still closed."Ouch, I'm offended""Not my problem""Huh, you are really a Hitler""Thanks for your kind words in the middle of the night" I said not caring, my sleep is more important to me right n
Zaheer's POV,My long time friends Abhi and Diana invited Sania and me for lunch at thier place. So as I couldn't even attend thier wedding which was 2 months before mine, we went bearing gifts.We are all school time pals and Abhi and Diana have been childhood sweethearts. As they both belonged to different religions, it took them quite a while to get thier parents approval, but at the end as they say 'Love conquers all'.Its always funny to see them on the dinning table as Abhishek is a pure vegetarian and Diana a pure non-vegetarian. So we had both kinds of dishes in front of us. Ofcourse Diana had halal meat for us.As we sat in the living room after lunch, Sania and I, we just sat casually next to eachother but Diana came and sat on Abhi's lap on our adjecent sofa. It was normal for me to see them like that but I'll never forget Sania's face at that time....Her eyes were popping out and
7 YEARS LATERZaheer's POV,I woke up scrunching to the sunlight that suddenly hit my eyes."Naaz....shut the curtains." I scoulded her groggily.I worked till 3am last night so that I could get a relaxing day today. I remembered how Sania used to pull the curtains like that to wake me, but still I used to pretend to sleep so that she could wake me up with a morning kiss...... I miss her.Naaz came and pecked my cheek. I smiled still pretending to sleep."Daddy wake up!" She yelled in my ear shaking me and jumping on the bed."Give daddy another kiss." I said with my eyes still closed and she kissed my cheek again. I pulled her to me and started tickling her as her giggles filled the room."Daadi and Phupi asked me to call you for breakfast. Hurry up daddy."I sat up. "When is Mummy coming back?" She's been to her mother's home for 2 day
Sania's POV,I sank on the sofa paralized. 'He knows.... Zaheer knows. Ya Allah! How? When? What do I do now?'I tried soo hard to protect him from the truth and now....."H-how d-did you...." My voice was shaking."How did I know huh? Did you really think I'll never know and you'd leave me without a word?" He said with a voice filled with pain and anger.Mamma shook me."Sania, what is Zaheer saying? I-is it true?""Shona....say something. What is your husband saying?" Daddy asked.I couldn't even look at them. My worst nightmare just came true. Everyone found out."Sania..." Mom begin."Yes.... it's true." Madiha said. I looked at her."It's no use hiding anymore Bhabhi. They were ought to know 1 way or another."I was soo shaken that I couldn't speak a word. 'They know...
Sania's POV,It's been 2 weeks yet the wounds are still fresh. Everyone of us is still mourning our precious Naaz. I can't even explain how her parents are feeling. Mom is sad, angry, frustrated."Why did my daughter in law had to go like this? First her child and then her. Why didn't I die instead? Why didn't someone else die instead?!" Her eyes landed on me for a second. She was right. Why didn't I die instead? Why her? She was my hope, I just lost all my hope.Madiha is puzzled as to how to handle everyone. She's trying to be a woman. It's not that easy when your own feelings are all over the place. She's trying to console all of us at the same time. She has a strong heart. I respect that.Zaheer? What can I say about him? I don't know who he is anymore. My Zaheer is lost somewhere. I wish I could ease some of his pain but then I realise, I'll be giving him more pain instead. He lost someone dear to him again. I'll be
Sania's POV,Everything's going on soo well. Mumma and Daddy are happily living in Qatar, Mom is happy that she'll have a grandchild soon and she even got a daughter in law she always wanted. Aditi is married and is happy in her married life, Madiha will be an amazing doctor soon.... And Zaheer has finally accepted Naaz as his wife and they both are happy together.It's all exactly as I wanted it to be. Now I can finally leave without any regrets. Alhumdulillah.I don't have anything else left for me now. My work here is done. If I stay here any longer I'd just be a burden. I'd like to spend my remaining days with my parents. Even though I know it will hurt them to let me go at the end but it will hurt more if I leave without saying goodbye.I informed my parents that I'll be coming to stay with them for a while. I even got my ticket and visa without informing anyone here. 1 week before leaving I told them.
Zaheer's POV,I rushed to her and pulled her fragile body towards my lap. I shook her, patted her face, yelled her name but she was still unconscious. I quickly lifted her in my arms. 'Why is she soo light?' I shifted her on the bed."Sania wake up!"She wasn't. I even sprinkled water on her face. She was still unconscious. I was scared now. I didn't wanted to lose her. I checked her arms if there were any broken pieces of glass struck but there were none. Alhumdulillah.I desperately rubbed her hands and feet. 'Why were her hands soo cold?'I called Madiha and Mom."She isn't waking up. Please do something." I said desperately while I called the doctor.My heart was pounding. 'Its all my fault. I did this to her. I'll never forgive myself if something happens to her.'The doctor came soon enough. I ushered her hurriedly to our room.
Zaheer's POV,We spent the time shopping at the mall."Zaheer ji we should get going now. It's almost 1:30. Sania Didi is making lunch for us." Naaz said."Are you bored with me?""Not at all. I'm really enjoying a lot.""Then what's the hurry. Let's wait a little while." I said."But...""No if's and buts.... Let's go there."I pulled her to a cosmetic store.Sania's POV,It's almost past 2 pm yet they aren't back yet. I hurriedly prepared everything and it's all ready."Mom, Madiha, you 2 should eat, I'll wait for them." I told them and they agreed reluctantly.I waited for them till 3:00. I didn't had an appetite either. They got home."Oh you 2 are back. You must be hungry. Go get freshn'up, I'll heat the food." I said and turned to the kitch
Zaheer's POV,Her eyes were wide with fear and shock. I stepped closer and she took a step back, her eyes locked with mine."Why Sania, why did you betray us all like this? Why did you lie about yourself? Why did you made me marry Naaz?" My eyes clouded with tears and my voice turned hoarse.She was still silent."Answer me damnit!" I growled banging my hand to the wardrobe door.She gasped scared and closed her eyes tightly. I tried to calm myself but it seemed impossible. Her silence was killing me. I was too desperate.I held her face gently."Sania, just say something. Huh, I'll believe anything you say."I wiped her tears with my thumbs still waiting. My voice was a desperate cry."Sania please... Give me a reason. Don't you love me? Are you tired of me? Did I do something wrong? What is it Sania? W-Was it because of Mom?"
Warning!!! Mature content!Zaheer's POV,I pointlessly walked into the hospital. This was the same hospital where I came with Sania for her fertility test, this was the same hospital that ruined us. I don't know what I was doing here I just kept walking inside."Oh, Mr. Kazmi."I heard someone call me and I came back to my senses. It was the same gynaecologist who took our case."Dr. Singh.""You are here today? Do you have an appointment?""No...uh... I just came here..." 'Why was I here again?'"By any chance is there a good news. How's your wife?"'What good news? She sent the reports herself. Is she mocking me?'"Good news.""Did I say it too soon. I expected you 2 might be trying.""How can we try for a child if there will be no results? The reports were negative, right?"
Zaheer's POV,"Why are you still here Zaheer? Go to your room your bride is waiting for you." I heard Mom say.I didn't turn. I just stood there on the terrace watching the stars. Not long ago I spent the night watching these stars with Sania on the beach, listening to the waves clashing and our hearts beating as one. Now I'm being asked to spend the night with another woman who's supposed to be my wife.She stood beside me with a hand on my arm. "Zaheer beta. You shouldn't keep your bride waiting like this. It's your wedding night.""Mom, that girl can stay here as she wishes, I don't care. For you all she's my wife but for me she's no one. I'm not going to her. So please tell her not to wait for me." I said without any emotions."Don't be like this beta."I turned to her angrily but I promised myself not to yell at her. "Mom, you asked me to marry her, I did, but please don't expect an
