"Collection of Memories" captures the diverse palette of life—sweet moments that bring joy, tangy encounters that add excitement, and salty experiences that bring depth. Yet, even the most delightful blend can be overshadowed by a hint of bitterness, lingering longer than any other taste. What unfolds when bitterness seeps into a relationship, erasing the sweetness and eclipsing every other emotion? In this tale, love and hate are not just opposites but entwined forces battling for control. When both are added to the fragile balance of a relationship, which will prevail, and what memories will be left standing? Explore a journey where passion and resentment collide, revealing the raw essence of human connection. Will love’s warmth triumph, or will hate’s shadow cast over everything, leaving only a lingering aftertaste?
Few pleasant memories were blooming in his head just like the aesthetic beauty of blooming Sakura which always signalled the beginning of spring.
And spring always comes with a time of renewal and optimism. As it arrives with a message of new aspirations, beautiful fantasies, blissfulness and a fragrance of love...
Spring does not only beauty already verdant plants but it gives flowering to cactus too
Exactly like Adnaan's life which was just a stone thrown away from spring in which the spikes of his hatred were converted into the bud of love.
"Where are you lost Adnaan?" A hand grabbed his shoulder with pulled him to the world of reality from the memories of last night when Sara and he had shared some childhood memories. He was shocked to know that Sara remembered when his mobile was broken due to her and Adnaan refused to take new mobile phone as an apology. Sara aslo remember her other promises which she had made at the age of sixteen.
"Finish your coffee, and you haven't tell me your opinion about the idea I discussed just now" Avinash gestured towards the glass of cold coffee which was already converted into hot one, and asked the last part with curiosity. But Adnaan didn't even know what Avinash was talking about as his senses were busy in thinking about Sara.
"Umm... Sorry I was a bit distracted" He politely made an excuse before finishing the drink and glanced at his mobile to watch time.
"Avi, bro I'll discuss this matter tomorrow... For now help me." Adnaan asked seriously and Avinash nodded.
"Is every fine?"
"Yeah.. All good, but just want an advice, and you're perfect one for this, as you're already married. Bro I want to surprise Sara but there is a problem... I don't know what exactly should I do? Tell me something with your experience what wives expect from their husband as best gift?" Adnaan asked and Avinash think for a long time but rolled his eyes
" Wives can't be happy no matter whatever you give. Even if you'll bring moon for her she will not be happy because Moon Wears a Scar" Adnaan sighed with a nod but took his leave to went home.

Inserting the key in keyhole he twisted that and feel that door was already open.
"Is she come back from parlour so soon?" mumbling that he push the door which created a cracky sound.
"Jangli Billi.." he shouted loudly and moved towards their bedroom after locking the door.
"Aa gye?" Sara stood up from her place as soon as her brown orbs came in the contact of that dark pair holding different but silent emotions.
(Welcome)
"Haan aa gya... Mera intezaar kar rahi thi kya?" He asked taking step towards her with a smile
(Were you waiting for me?)
"Yeah.. I was waiting for you'' She said placing her wallet in her purse.
"I'm not tired today, let's go for shopping and then we'll have our dinner in some Chinese restaurant" Adnaan suggested and Sara's feet moved towards him in hurry, Adnaan was confused on her rush but he didn't get time to understand anything, Sara took the laptop bag from his hand and throw that on couch carelessly, confused Adnaan furrowed his brows but suddenly Sara grabbed his shirt and started unbuttoning.
"What are you doing?" He asked with wide eyes but Sara keep doing her work without wasting a single second and after opening every button she pulled his shirt off making him surprised but he smirked too.
"Lagta hai madam ke iraade kuch theek nhi hai"
(It seems that Madam's intentions are not right)
He mumbled in seductive way and holding the bottom of his vest she tugged off that in a single moment. Adnaan encircled his both arms around her neck and yanked making her collide with his bear chest. He placed his lips gently in her temple and took a deep breath in to fill himself with her mysterious fragrance which runs around her, but he was shocked when felt Sara's hand in his waist belt and she loosen that, before her hand could completely remove that belt Adnaan held her wrist.
"My wild randy cat.. Wait for few minutes... Give me at least five minutes to freshen up." He whispered while nibbling on her ear but she pulled his pants a few inches down before turning him back, he was highly shocked on her behaviour but then feel Sara's finger on the middle of his back then they softly travelled to the left side of his lower back. Like she was drawing something with her fingers or maybe tracing something.
"Sara.. What are you doing?" Holding her wrist Adnaan pulled her in front of himself and asked with a confused smile but Sara's brown orbs dropped two tears, her lips trembled and nose tip turned deep red, though the stronger side of her was trying not to cry but miserably failed!
"Sara.." He cupped her cheeks with both hands but
"Hath mat lagao mujhe.." She shouted louder than ever and Lifting her hand very high in air she slapped his cheek as hard as possible. With the shock of slap Adnaan felt someone rang bells in his ear, his eyes were ready to pop out and brain refused to understand anything for a few moments
(Don't touch me)
Placing his left hand on his cheek he was watching Sara silently.
"Sara.."
"Naam mat lo mera apni gandi zaban se.. Ghin aa rahi hai mujhe tumse.." She shouted from the top of her lungs.
(Don't utter my name with your dirty tongue .. I'm feeling disgusting with you)
"Even I'm feeling disgusting with myself" This time Sara only mumbled and throw herself down on bed as her legs refused to held her even more. Hiding her face in her plams she cried silently, her faible howling with hiccups were enough to made Adnaan realised that something was wrong, not only wrong but messed up.
"Hua kya hai?" He asked in mumbled as he was still in shock and Sara removed her hands from her face.
(What happened?)
Again those questioning eyes were asking many unanswered questions which made Adnaan's heart skipped a beat as he watched venom in those eyes which were filled with love till morning.
"Tum kab se Mere bharose se khel rahe ho?" mumbling that Sara tried, she was broken anyone can understand that.
(Since how long you're playing with my trust?)
"Sara tell m.."
"You tell me, how does Mansi know that your lower back has a long light brown birthmark..." Sara shouted and placing her both hands on his chest she pushed him away. Adnaan was shocked he didn't had words to defend himself.
"Even after being your wife I never notice this mark.. But she knows!" The broken wife shouted out of anger
But she was feeling broken more than furious.
"Sara let me explain... Listen to me.." he took a step towards him but she pushed him with both hands.
"Don't come closer to me.. What is left for explaining? That girl was telling me about my husband's those secrets which no one else could know beside a wife... How will you explain this?"
"Sara I wanted to tell you everything on the night of party but.."
"I hate you Adnaan.. I hate you.." She didn't let him complete and shouted.
"Sara just give me a damn chance.." Adnaan shouted to suppress Sara's voice but she was already broken and its difficult to handle broken pieces.
"There isn't anything left for explanation! Na jaane kitne ladkiyon ke sath yahi sab karte ho har rooz... Tumne mera bharosa tood diya" Sara cried and Adnaan shook his head.
(I don't even know with how many girls you're doing these things everyday... You... you've broke my trust)
"It was past.. Its been three years I never did that again.. I don't know what Mansi has told you but I am not lying... I have already broke up with her long back" Adnaan explained and Sara smiled while lifting her hands and clapped but two tears rolled down from her eyes.
"You're great Adnaan... Even Great is a small word for you... How easily you have explained that it was past.." She was holding venom in her voice.
"We're engaged since six years.." She cried out and wiped her tears "I was only seventeen when got engaged with you. Since that time I never think about any other guy, no matter how much I hated you but I never cheated in this relationship... How could you be in relationship with that girl when you know that one day you'll have to marry me... " She shouted and Adnaan was silent.
In no time Sara grabbed her purse and moved out from the room where her suitcase was already waiting for her.
"Sara where are you going?" Adnaan ran after her but Sara already left the home by then. "Saraaaaa.." He shouted but then went back to room to wear his shirt. Then he went down stairs Sara was already going out from the main door of society.
"Saraaa... Wait... At least listen.." He shouted and run after her but she was already hopped in a taxi.
Adnaan rum after her but then came to society to took his car to chase Sara for a few meters he was behind that white car with the tag of OLA on that but soon it was disappeared in the rush of many cars and Adnaan was shocked. He went to railway station and tried to find out Sara but she was not there.
"Where is she." mumbling that he call her but she disconnected the call and when he call her again her mobile was off.
"Sara... Where are you" He smacked his forehead.
His life was on the edge of spring but suddenly it was seems to be turning in autumn...
Seasons of life are unpredictable!
Aren't they?
