THIRD PERSON'S POV:

Arham was sitting near the entrance of college, waiting for Muskan to come. Every single moment was seems like whole day for him. He didn't know what to say in front of Muskan? He literally forgot everything after getting to know that Muskan's alliance was fixed with someone else.

He was busy in worrying about everything when witnessed Muskan's car entering in the college. Since he was waiting for her so hurriedly made himself stand.

Muskan come to him and he followed her to the canteen of college.

"Arham I have to tell you something" Muskan said nervously and Arham nodded while sitting in front of her.

"What happened tell me everything" Arham said while grabbing Muskan's hand in between his both hands, and first time ever Muskan didn't protest.

"Arham... Daddy has fix my alliance with one of his friends son, Samad. He is also an army officer and he is very overbearing." Muskan told him and suddenly few drops of Tears rolled down from her eyes.

"Muskan stop crying and..." Arham was saying but his words were cut in between by Muskan

"Arham you are the only one with whom I'm sharing my feelings, neither I have anyone to say all these things nor I have anyone who can understand me." Muskan said with tear field Eyes and Arham felt sad for her.

"Muskan I..." Arham was going to confess his love when Muskan's mobile started vibrating.

"It's daddy's call" Saying the same Muskan free her hand from his grip and made her way to other side and Arham sighed on the wrong timing of call, he wad just a sec away from confession

"Arham I want to ask something to you" After some ten minutes Muskan come back to him with a question and Arham nodded. That was now or never situation for Muskan, she was going to confess her love in front of Arham that wasn't easy for a timid innocent girl but still she was trying to gather all her courage.

On the other hand Arham was preparing himself to handle everything very efficiently because according to him Muskan love Anzala and her Alliance is fixed with Samad ans he himself was nothing for her except a friend.

More than love there was confusion in between them.

"Muskan listen to me carefully, today I want to......" he was stopped when Muskan looked at him with tear filled eyes.

''Arham today please only listen to me... Don't say anything please just listen" Arham nodded and Muskan took a deep breath.

"You know na I love someone.' Muskan said and ARHAM'S heart skipped a beat. That's the most painful thing ever in his life.

" Yeah I know "

"Today I wanna tell you everything about that guy" Muskan said and Arham was hurt from the deepest core of heart.

"Guys its lecture time let's go" someone said from behind and they both looked at the source of voice, he was their classmate.

"Yeah we're coming" Arhaan said but ignored that boy and stay in his place. He slowly grabbed Muskan's hand and again she didn't pulled her hand back but held his hand giving a small satisfaction to Arham.

"Muskan I also have to tell you something. Its very important, but first you complete" Muskan nodded halfheartly on what Arham said, he was determined to confess his love.

"I love that guy more than anyone else, but he doesn't love me he love someone els..." Muskan suddenly stopped when her gaze went to a gray headed woman, who was holding few caresses on her forehead and adjusting her glasses.

"Oh noo... '' Muskan mumbled while looking at the assistant librarian who was watching her standing outside the canteen.

" What happened?" Arham asked and Muskan slowly pulled her hand out from Arham's grip, for a moment he was confused by her action but then he also noticed the assistant librarian watching both of them and specially their hands

"Don't worry Muskan it's normal in college, you ignore her" Arham said carelessly

"Arham she is in Daddy's contact, I don't know how but they know each other" Muskan mumbled and Arham realised the reason of her fearfulness.

"Meet me near college entrance" Saying that Muskan made her way to out from the canteen

"Assalamualaikum" Muskan mumbled when passed by the assistant librarian and she watched her with doubtful gaze.

"Isn't it your lecture time?" She asked to Muskan making her feel shivering like a dry leaf

"Ma'am I.. I'm going to classroom" Muskan said without meeting gaze with her.

"Better for you" She said like a scolding and Muskan nodded while passing by her.

Muskan went to the entrance of college where Arham join her after ten minutes.

"We can't talk in college, let's go somewhere else" Muskan, said and Arham nodded while mounting on his bike.

"Come" Arham said to Muskan and she took steps towards his bike but stopped in between.

"Arham you go to golden cafe, I'm coming through taxi." Muskan muttered and Arham nodded. But they both were unaware that a pair of eyes cover with the glasses, was busy in watching them from a good distance.

=================

Both were sitting in front of each other holding silence between them, but Muskan was the one who decided to break that silence.

"Arham do you know how much I love that guy?" Muskan mumbled and Arham smiled sadly.

"How do I know?" He mumbled without looking at her

"It's very painful that I love him but he love someone else." Muskan put her heart out in front of Arham

"Muskan if he doesn't love you then don't waste your time and life for him think about someone else who really love and care for you" Arham said and Muskan's heart was clenched with pain.

''Forget about him Muakan" he added.

'Arham I can't forget you, I was trying to forget you but I can't' Muskan said in her heart and tears appeared in her eyes.

"Arham can you forget the girl whom you love?" Muskan asked and he suddenly shook his head.

"I love her more than anyone else, I can't forget her...." Arham's sentence was cut off in between by Muskan

"Then how can you expect this from me that I will forget about the one whom I love more than anyone else?" Muskan asked suddenly but her tone was still soft as usually.

"Muskan what if you get the one who loves you instead of the one whom you love?" Arham said in hushed tone and Muskan was shocked as well as confused.

''What are you saying Arham?" she asked with confusion.

"Muskan I know a guy who loves you since years ago, but he never said anything to you because he knows about your shy nature. But he loves you very much! Even he wants to marry with you" Arham said about himself but Muskan was numb, she wanted to confess her love but Arham's words gave another reason to be sad and heart broken.

'I love him and he is thinking to make me marry with someone else!' Muskan was saying to her ownself when Arham placed his hand in her.

'Why Anzala is always two steps ahead? Why Muskan, can't see my love?' Arham asked to himself in defeated tone.

'I wanted to confess my love but here he is arranging another lover for me, that means he don't have a single ounce of love towards me... How I can be an intruder in his life?' Muskan was saying in her heart but soon she come out from her trance with his voice.

"Muskan, what are you thinking?" He asked politely.

"Arham today I wanted to share everything with you. But I think there isn't any benefit, you can't understand my feelings." Muskan replied halfheartly and gulped all the tears appeared in her eyes.

"I'm here to listen everything, even i have to tell you something" Arham said but Muskan shook her head.

"I'm not interested in saying or listening anything... If I don't have the love of that guy in my destiny then why not Samad?" Muskan pulled her hand which was under Arham's hand just a couple of moment ago. She took step towards the exit but her wrist was catched by Arham's hand

"Muskan do you know who is the girl whom I love? And who is the guy who loves you since years?"

'I have only love you, If it's not you someone else then I don't care.' Muskan made her hand free from his grip.

"I don't want to know" Muskan said without meeting eyes with him because she was trying to hide her tears.

"Muskan sit and listen what I'm going to say, I know you love someone else but you can't live your whole life with this one sided love! You should accept the one who love you because he will give you everything in your life." Athan said and Muskan smiled sadly.

"Yeah... Samad will also fulfill my every need but he can't make me happy in any condition." Muskan wiped her tears and sighed

"Thanks for giving me your time. I was wrong that you would understand my feelings, but... Anyway I should go now" Saying that Muskan grabbed her bag.

'Neither I was anyone for him in past nor I'll be able to gain that place in her life. Why my love is meant to be end up with like this?' Arham asked that question to Muskan but his heart was crying for the first time. He wanted to confess but couldn't.

"Muskan..."

"It's okay Arham, no need to say anything, Samad is my destiny." She said with a smile but only she knew how she was feeling from inside, how she was maintaining that smile. "I wish that you get the one whom you love" Muskan added with a painful beat of her heart and took a step further.

"I don't think I'll get her.... Today I'm feeling I have lost her. Neither she loved me nor she will ever" Arham said in almost no voice and Muskan turned her head towards him.

''We both are on the same page of life, I know it's very painful" Saying that Muskan went out from the cafe.

"No Muskan we aren't on the Same page of life. I love you from the dept of my heart but you are blindly in love with Anzala, the guy who never cares about your feelings" he mumbled and sat down while holding his head.

==================

"After a long time I'm happy" Anzala said to Maizah when they both were sitting in library.

"Me too" Maizah's small whisper gave him a big smile.

"Anzu yesterday Badi Ammi caressed my head and told me to take rest. After a long time she was behaving like this with me" Maizah said with satisfaction and Anzala smiled

"But Mazi they are still not trusting us. Abbu's bitter behavior is killing me from inside. He was strict with me but he use to pamper me like a little child and now I am craving for that trust" Anzala said while closing the book and Maizah sighed

"Everything will be fine, stop thinking about this." She replied and he also nodded.

"Anzala are you coming with me to canteen" Suddenly Anaya appeared from nowhere and asked him.

"Yeah let's go, I'm also hungry" Anzala replied casually while picking his books and bag.

''Anzu we were talking about.... " Maizah was saying with wide eyes and Anaya smirked and cut her sentence off.

"Maizah I don't like the color of your dress, sorry to say.... Umm.. Actually not sorry to say that your choice is not good" Anaya said and Maizah's blood got a boil

"See Mazi I was saying this to you too, I also don't like this dress" Anzala said because Maizah was wearing the same dress which Dayim had chosen for her.

"Anzu let's go I'm dying with hunger." Maizah looked at Anaya when she pronounced him as Anzu

'How dare she to call him Anzu? It's only my right to call him anzu' Maizah said to herself and Glare Anzala but he was busy in packing his bag.

"Mazi tu kuch piyegi?" Anzala asked casually as he knew Maizah must be thirsty

( Mazi do you want something?)

"Dil to chah raha hai tera khun pii jaun" Maizah mumbled while glaring him but he listened and chuckled due to which everyone suddenly looked towards him.

(I wanna kill you)

"Shhhh... Silence in the library" That was a stirct command and Anzala suddenly suppress him laugher.

"Chudail I'm going you come to canteen after completing this" Saying that Anzala pinched her cheek and Anaya smirked, she was sensing Maizah's jealousy.

"Anzu how is the colour of my lipstick, everyone is saying this shade is looking good on me." Anaya asked with the happy smile and said the last part with a proud feeling on her face

" every shade looks good on you" Anzala said in his same flirting style, that was his habit he couldn't left that habit in a single day but Maizah was becoming red in anger. Anzala went out from the library but Anaya was standing besides Maizah.

"By the way Maizah if you would apply this shade you won't look nice, but Anzu was right, every shade looks good on me, actually my colo...." this time Maizah didn't let her complete.

"His name is Anzala, not Anzu. So it's better for you to call him Anzala" Maizah said straight forward and Anaya smirked.

"Baby he is just your cousin brother.... Don't you think you are becoming his bodyguard? Give him some personal space don't you think he wants to make a girlfriend but here you are making this work difficult for him." Anaya said while patting Maizah's cheek with a fake smile, but Maizah grabbed her hand.

"You Mind your own business, this is our personal matter whether he is my bodyguard or I'm his, you don't have to poke your tiny nose in out matter" Maizah said while showing her first finger to Anaya.

"Tsk.. Tsk... Maizah baby is becoming angry on me." Anaya said with a smirk and her tone was like she was trying to hush a baby

"For your kind information, you are the one who poked your nose between Anzala and me.... But I don't have time to waste with you.. Bye bye.. Anzala must be waiting for me" Saying the same in arrogant tone Anaya made her way back to the canteen. Actually she wanted to insult Maizah in front of all because once Maizah mocked her when Anzala was doing flirting with her and Mansha.

"Anzala... You go to hell" Maizah mumbled with anger and close the book with a jolt.

================

"What should I do?"

" whenever I try to talk to Muskan she always a stop to me"

" why this is so difficult to talk to her about my feelings?"

" but what can I do"

" but I have to do something!"

" But I don't want Muskan to break the friendship after knowing that I love her, now at least she thinks me as a friend"

" but after her marriage with some other guy this friendship will also be terminated forever"

" I have to do something"

Arham was saying all these things to the handsome guy standing in front of him on the other side of mirror

After a long sigh he closed his eyes and gathered his whole courage. He picked his mobile with determination and started to type a message

Muskan, I don't know how will you react? I don't know what will be your answer! But today it's impossible for me to stop myself to say all these things!

I'm hiding this in my heart since long time, since years ago I love you Muskan. I only love you

The girl without whom I can't even imagine my life is YOU.

I LOVE YOU MUSKAN. I LOVE YOU.

Arham send the message and closed his eyes with madly beating heart because he didn't know how Muskan will react. But his heart start beating faster when the messages were seen by other side.
