SARA'S POV :
From the Cleft of dark sky, a fresh golden Ray of sun peep out with the message of a new bright day.
A new bright day which was going to introduce a new chapter of my life.
Melodies of birds Chirping along with the warm rays of sun were coming inside my room through the window. I didn't want to open my eyes because of that peaceful feeling. After so many days I slept well. Tossing myself in bed I turned my side and my heart skipped a beat.
Adnaan was sleeping peacefully beside me, I felt nervous, but a smile made its way to my lips. His hair was covering his forehead and I was feeling butterflies in my stomach. His tightly fitted gym vest was showing his muscles and abs. I can't believe that Bandar was turned to a handsom man. Stepping out from bed my smile again become big because I was wearing his T-shirt. After quick shower I changed myself in a pajama and t-shirt, but this time I took my own clothes instead of his and felt much better and I decided to make breakfast for myself as well as that Bandar.
If he could make noodles for me then I could also pay off for that by making breakfast for him. ''This Bandar is still sleeping" mumbling that I went inside the room to woke him up But he was already sitting on bed, with half closed eyes but he was smiling like fools.
"Why are you smiling?" I asked and he looked up. "Non of your business" He glare me without any reason and I glare him back
"Raat tak to theek the.. Ab dubara Pagal ho gaye?" I asked with irritation because his brain had some problem. Its impossible to understand what he would do at very next moment.
(You're fine till night.. But now become mad again?)
"Subah subah teri shakal dekh li to mood to kharab hoga hi na" saying that he threw the pillow on other side of the bed but his facial expressions showed a painful reaction...
(What else could happen, when I've saw your face early in the morning)
"What happened?" I asked with confusion but ignoring me he went to his room and I huffed before arranging bed and pillows. My hair was falling on my face making me irritate so entangling my fingers in my already messy hair I lifted them to made a bun but my only clutcher was missing, Ohh.. That was in Adnaan's room, I forgot that there yesterday.
I did not want to go in front of that Pagal aadmi (Mad man) as he was already angry, by the way that was nothing new, he was always an angry man but after the last night I wanted to make my relationship better with him. Only I know what I was feeling in that dark room. Darkness was my weakness and staying alone in dark room for hours was horrible for me, if Adnaan wouldn't come back for some more time then maybe I would die inside storeroom, if not die then I would be faint for sure, but when I realised he was back from his work I felt I got new Hope to live. He was trying his best to open that door and when I saw him in front of me I couldn't help and hug him.
I was feeling my heart clenched with fear, and my tears weren't ready to stop, I was hugging him more than enough tightly but then he wrapped his arms around me and I felt like a shield who was there to protect me. Neither I felt shy nor nervous with his closeness but I felt peace in my heart.
He was the same Adnaan who never let a single chance go to irritate me and enrage me but at the time of need he was standing as my support that was main point which was making a soft corner for him in my heart.
Shrugging all the thoughts away I stepped to his bedroom to pick my hair clutcher to tie my hair and at the same time bathroom door was opened making me jump on my place due to that sudden clicking voice in a pin drop silent room
"What are you doing in my room?" He asked arrogantly while glaring me.
What this Bandar is thinking?
"Ohh hello apni chhoti chhoti aakho ko itna bada kar ke mujhe mat ghura karo.. Mujhe dar nahi lagta.. Tum sirf apna time aur energy barbaad kr rahe ho" and I glare him back with those words, I was holding the messy bun of my hair with one hand and pointing my index finger towards him with same arrogant expression on my face
(Hey you.. No need to glare me while winding your small eyes. I don't feel scared, you're only wasting your time and energy both)
What, that Bandar was thinking? Will I feel like a small mouse in front of him after seeing him glaring at me?
'Huh, not even in his dream'
Grabbing his arm I pushed him aside and stepped in bathroom, my clutcher was still there and I secure my bun with that.
And when I stepped out from the bathroom Adnaan was showing a red face to mirror.
"In katilana nigaawo ko zara sambhaliye sahab...
Main kaanch hu, kahi tut na jaun aapki nazro ke waar se" I don't know from where those lines pop in my head and I said without wasting a single minute. I was feeling to tease him like I use to do in childhood, but he glared at me, and I giggled.
(Hold on these deadly eyes dear,
I am a glass, don't break me with the attack of your gaze)
"Ye main nhi keh rhi, sheesha keh raha hai." I chirped as I wanted to saw his angry reaction one more time and I got the same.
"Get lost fro..." Saying that he lift his arm to point towards the door of room but stopped in between, and I noticed him suppressing his hissing sound and pain. That was difficult for him to lift his arm, and I noticed a his shoulder which was clearly visible as he was wearing cotton vest.
"Aaahh.. Adnaan.. Oh my god" I gasped loudly and that wasn't any kind of prank or act, that was my real shocked situation Because Adnaan's arm was bruised badly, maybe due to breaking the door he hit himself hard
"Please.. Stay away" He said when I took step towards him but I glared at him
"Shut up" I ordered and looked at his arm, for a long moment I was examining his arm and he was watching me
"Dard ho raha hai?" I asked politely while touching his muscular arm with my fingers, I was feeling bad for him as he was in pain due to me.
(Is it hurting?)
"Nahi.. Itna araam mil raha hai jese Ammi ki good me milta tha, jab, wo mera sar sehlati thi...." He said in duh tone, while gritting his teeth
(no not at all, even its so soothing like mom is caressing my head)
"Seedha jawab nhi de sakte kya?" I slightly glare him
(Can't you reply properly?)
"pehle sedha Sawal poochhna seekh le.. Jangli billi." We both glare each other and he took a step towards bed were his well iron shirt was laying but I catched his arm.
(First, learn how to ask a proper question)
"Ruko" I said and he again glared at me, and I sigh
(wait)
"Ab kya musibat hai?" He was frustrated and I wanted to hit his head on the wall, maybe some of displaced screws came back to their correct place and he become mentally fine, but if that screw would displaced even more than he could do anything.
(Now what's your problem?)
"Adnaan Kabhi normal insaan ki tarah behave kar liya karo..." I said with disappointment and went towards my room, and when I reenter in his room with an pain relief gel, he was picking his shirt to wear that.
(Adnan, sometimes behave like a normal human)
"Can't you wait for just two minutes?" I almost yelled on him and took the shirt from his hand.
"What are you doing?" He shouted and I wanted to slap him but somehow I controlled myself
"Main tumse darti nahi hu, to cheekho mat.. Betho yaha'' I glare him and pushed him so that he could sit on bed.
(I'm not afraid of you, so don't shout and sit here)
"What's your problem man?" He asked with frustration but I took a good amount of that transparent gel on my fingers.
"Tum ho na, chalti phirti 5'8 feet ki musibat" I rub that gel on his bruised skin and he was still glaring me, I wanted to pluck out his eyes but stopped myself. Don't know how?
(Aren't you a 5'8 feet high problem?)
"5'9 feet" He corrected me but I rolled my eyes while mumbling "Whatever" and keep apply that gel.
"Come for breakfast" Ordering that I went to kitchen after washing my hands. I set table but he was still in room. I went to ask if he lost his memory as he forget to go office but when I entered in his room he was smiling like fool.
Again!!
"Ye hasne ka Dora kyu pad raha hai subah se?"
(Why are you getting this grinning attack since morning)
"Non of your business" He again glare me, and I huffed but he pushed me away from his way and went to dining area. He started stuffing his mouth with that Aalo paratha like he was eating first time.
"Ek aur banau?" I asked in disbelief as he already consumed two very quickly.
(Want one more?)
"Nah.." He replied and drink half glass of juice, before standing up from his place.
"Aaj kis room me band hone ka irada hai pehle hi Bata dena"
(Tell in advance, in which room you want to lock yourself)
"Adnaan Tum bohot bure ho"
(Adnaan you're very bad)
"Allah gunaho ki saza zindagi me hi de deta hai, tu ne Aese kya gunah kare the ki mujh jesa bura aadmi mil gya?" He said while wearing his shoes and this time I was actually answerless, I hate when I don't get proper answer to give a beffeting reply but many times Adnaan wins.
(Allah gives the punishment of sins during one's life only, What sins you've committed that you've gotten a bad man like me)
I wanted to cry like a baby.. It can't be done! I can't lose in front of him like this!
"I'm going" He said and I glare him without any reason as so he did. But I wanted to held our signature Tom and Jerry fight, it's been a long time since we fought like that.
"Get lost" I rolled my eyes.
"Raat ko late wapas aunga?" He said in cold tone.
(I'll be late at night)
"Why?" I asked rightfully
"Non of your business. sirf isliye Bata raha hu ki akele dar lage to Neha ke ghar chali jaana." And he left the home. His tone was cold like he was making me remember that I was becoming more free.
(I'm telling you so that you go to Neha if feel scared alone)
"He insulated me" I gulp the harsh reality of my life, but stopped myself to cry.
'Sara maybe he also wants to argue with you' my subconscious told me, and I smiled but a sad one.
Maybe.. Or Maybe not!
Understanding Adnaan was almost impossible, he could do anything at any time.
================
I was waiting for him since evening, usually he come back at 6 pm but he was nowhere around my vision till half past eleven... His mobile was switched off and I was feeling anxious, though he told me to come late but that late!!! Since half an hour I was standing in balcony waiting for him, I was feeling hungry but I wanted to have my dinner with him. One of us had to took steps to make the relationship better so I decided to take all the initiatives. Soon a black car entered in the society gate, and Adnaan jumped out of the car. I felt relaxed after watching him fine otherwise I was getting bad vibes. Unwillingly a smile made its way after watching his handsome figure. 'This man is mine, only mine' I felt proud and happy but that feeling was shortlived because soon a perfect figured girl also came out from the car and they both hugged each other, she was Mansi.
I felt a pang in my heart, Adnaan and I didn't share any bond, but even then I wasn't ready to share him with anyone else. He is my husband!
A husband who doesn't love me, but I want to be loved by him. Its difficult for me to accept his closeness with someone else. For a very long time they were hugging each other, Adnaan was busy in caressing his head and back and I was watching the beautiful scene with my unevenly beating heart. I didn't have guts to stand more, so shutting balcony door, I open the main door and sat, down on couch after some ten minutes Adnaan came with a tired expression on his face.
"Itni deer kyu laga di? Kis ke sath the?" I asked without looking towards him, I was holding magazine but actually not reading anything.
(Why did it take so long? Who was with you)
"Zyada biwi ban'ne ki koshish mat kar" He replied with dominant voice with a hint of anger and I place the magazine down while lifting my gaze.
(No need to behave like my wife)
"Biwi ban'ne ki koshish waha kari jaati hai jaha shohor se Mohabbat ka rishta ho... Hamare beech main to koi rishta hi nahi hai" I got tears, but somehow I stopped myself to show my weak side in front of him. I didn't want to show that I was actually feeling heartbroken due to his behaviour
(One behaves like a wife when she has bond of love with husband, here we don't have any relationship.)
"Khana to khaoge na? Aakhir mujhse shadi hi khane ke liye kari hai..." I asked like a satire.
(You'll have Dinner. Right? After all you've marry me just to get meal at time)
"Aur sare kaamo ke liye to tumhare paas koi aur hai" I mumbled while going towards kitchen.
(And for all the other works you've someone else)
"What you've said?" He asked with confusion
"Khana khaoge ya nahi?" I asked very loudly without looking towards him, my back was facing him.
(Will you have Dinner or not?)
"Why are you shouting? Yes I'll have dinner." He replied in surprised tone, maybe he was shocked to see my behaviour.
"Serve for yourself, and place the leftover in fridge" Saying that I went to my bedroom and throw myself on bed. I wanted to be strong enough to handle my feelings but no.. I was not strong enough.
I'm a loyal person, neither I can cheat on anyone nor I could tolerate cheating on me! Since childhood I have only a few relationships which are very close to me my parents and my Dadi (grandmother) but circle of time took away my papa and Dadi from me. I was already broken after losing two of them moreover after watching Adnaan with Mansi crushed my heart. I am not from those who could answer one's disloyalty with their own disloyalty. I was unable to stop my tears and didn't realise when sleep consumed me.
