Sara was in bathroom, busy in washing away the dirt and sweat from her body but unfortunately she was unable to wash away the dark part of her destiny, waiting to appear in front of her just a few hours later.
On the other side, after disconnecting Avinash's call, Adnaan sat down on bed and his gaze went to Sara's mobile. First he glanced at the bathroom door which was locked then slowly grabbed her mobile, knowing the password he unlocked her mobile, firstly he checked call logs, Sara and Qaleel had many calls, but their durations were very short. He narrow his eyes on the call logs then decided to check her messages because just a few minutes ago there were many messages coming on her number. Opening Instagram he checked messages specifically Qaleel's chat but didn't get anything suspicious, leaving that he decided to check WhatsApp, As soon as he open Qaleel's Chat the bathroom door was opened by Sara making him shocked. The mobile was going to slip from his hand but he catch that and place on pillow, Sara pick the mobile which was still showing Qaleel's chat.
"I'm.. Actually... Your mobile beeped so.. I was.. Ju.."
"Kyu shak kar rahe ho mujh par? Tumhe mobile check karna hai kar lo... Lekin shak mat karo... Ab main bhi tum par shak nahi karungi... Promise." She said seriously while passing the mobile to Adnaan and he hold that, glanced at the chat and place down the mobile.
(Why are you doubting on me? If you wanna check my mobile then do... But don't distrust me... And from now onwards I also won't doubt at you. I promise)
"I trust you" He said but trust was actually missing in between both. Sara also had doubts regarding Adnaan and Mansi, just like Adnaan whose heart was beating with different fear with the thought that one day he will get to know that Sara had an affair with Qaleel.
"I'm going" He informed
"Where?"
"Avinash has some work for me"
"But..." He didn't let her complete.
"Don't worry, I'll be back in in two three hours, be ready, we'll go for dinner together" She nodded with a smile and Adnaan stepped towards his wardrobe, but before he could drew out his clothes Sara picked a formal pants and shirt for him.
"I don't need formals for this work..." He replied before picking a faded blue denim pants with a black T-shirt along with denim jacket, as that was still a hint of coldness in weather.
He came out from the bathroom after changing his clothes and looked himself through the mirror, lifting the comb he tried to set his hair but something unknown stopped him, his heart was sinking down without any reason... Or maybe there was a reason about what he was unknown.
"Adnaan"
"Hmm..." He turned around, Sara was standing a step away from him, covering the distance she looked at him with love filled eyes.
"Adnaan" she whispered
"kya hua?" He whispered back
(what happened?)
"Dar lag raha hai" Sara rest head on his chest and he hummed while wrapping his arms around her waist
(I'm feeling scared)
"kis cheez se?" He asked, tightly holding her in his arms but Sara didn't hug him back, her both arms were dangling in the air like lifeless things
(Of what?)
"Pta nahi kis cheez se, lekin Aesa lag raha hai jese main kuch galat kar rahi hu, ya kuch galat ho raha hai... Dil aur dimaag me bohot negative thoughts aa rahi hain" Without moving back she shared
(I don't know, but I'm feeling like I'm doing something wrong or something wrong is going to be happen... I'm getting negative thoughts)
"Don't worry... Nothing will happen" He said, only said, unfortunately he also had mutual feeling that something wrong was going to happen, but they didn't know what.
Sara removed her head from his chest and saw him, her heart was sinking down, and tears were ready to pop out from the window my her eyes.
"Adnaan" A shivering mutter came out from her throat, "Yeah?" He asked.
"I love you... Very much"
"Tu ab bhi jhut bolti hai kya? Bachpan me bohot jhut bolti thi na?" He entangled his fingers behind her back, just to protectively hold her
(Do you still lie? You used to lie a lot in your childhood, didn't you?)
Standing on her tip toes she cupped his face while slightly caressing his cheeks with her soft palms "Ab bhi bolti hu, kabhi kabhi... Lekin ye sach hain... Bilkul sach" she muttered with full of emotions, and pressed her lips on his cheek bone, making his heart skipped a beat.
(Yes, occasionally! But this is true.. Absolutely true)
They both had kissed each other million times before too, but this wasn't a simple kiss. This wasn't passionate but a stamp of her love over his heart. "I love you." she whispered while removing her lips from his cheek and he close his eyes resting his cheek on hers. "Sara, yaar mujhe bhi dar lag raha hai" Adnaan whispered near her ear but didn't move back. They both were fighting together with their fear when Adnaan's mobile started ringing, with a cold sigh he took a step back to pull his mobile out from his pocket and smiled sadly, it was Avinash's call.
(Sara I'm also feeling scared)
"I have to go now" He cut the call while whispering
"Mat jao Adnaan... Bohot dar lag raha hai, dil chah raha hai bas tumhare paas hi rahu..." She muttered in requesting way and Adnaan slightly cupped her cheeks
(Don't go Adnaan, I'm feeling scared, I just want to stay with you)
" I also don't wanna go, but Zaruri kaam hai, jana hi padega... Lekin Sirf kuch deer ki baat hai, dinner to sath hi karenge... Tayyar rehna." Sara nodded taking a step back and took a deep breath trying to calm her heart, Adnaan pick the car keys and his wallet before stepping towards the door.
(It's important, I've to go. But it's about only a few hours, we'll have out dinner together.)
"Achha Suno"
(Listen)
"Hmm" He turn around.
"Jaate hue grocery store par bol dena ki vanilla essence aur baking powder bhej de... Ghar me Dono cheeze khatam ho gayi hain" She demanted with a smile.
(While going away, Say on grocery store to send vanilla essence and baking powder)
"kya good news hai?"
(what's the good news?)
"There are two good news, wait for a few hours" Sara smiled and Adnaan also nodded with a smile.
==============
"Bro I'm not an event organizer!"
"I know yaar, but you're my trustworthy man, I know you can handle everything. That even manager have get an emergency at home, so he can't come, you only have to keep an eyes on these workers." Avinash said and Adnaan nodded with a defeated sigh.
"okay"
"How everything is going at home?" Avinash asked and Adnaan think for a moment
"Not fine." He intentionally lies to save himself from evil eyes, but he was too late to understand that.
"Ye biwiya sir dard ke alawa kuch nhi hoti" Adnaan hummed on Avinash's comment.
(Wives are nothing but headache)
"Adnaan My phone is dead, can you give me your mobile? I have to call my headache to ask if she is ready for tonight or not?" Avinash asked and Adnaan passed his mobile after unlocking that.
"Excuse me" Avinash took a step ahead "Adnaan... Keep an eyes on these light arrangements, I'll be back in five minutes" Adnaan nodded and looked at the workers decorating the big hall of that lavish hotel and in no time Avinash returned his mobile.
==============
Placing the cake tin in microwave she smiled shyly, making thousands of different plans regarding tonight, she wanted to make that night special for both them.
Humming the song she started beating whipping cream and soon listen to the ring of microwave which indicates that the cake was baked, drawing out the cake she check that and it came out so well. Placing that on a cooling tray she again focused on the whipping cream when doorbell rang.
"Who can come at this time? Adnaan can't come so soon" mumbling that she stepped out from the kitchen
"Yes" Sara open the door and a smile creeped to her lips when witnessed a small boy standing on doorway holding a flower bouquet in his hands, it seems heavy for him.
"Ye Adnaan uncle ka ghar hai Na?" He questioned and Sara nodded while pinching his cheek lightly
(Is this Adnaan uncle's home)
"Aap Sara hain?"
(Are you Sara?)
"Ji Haan, main hi Sara hu" she replied
(Yes I'm Sara)
"It's for you" Sara smiled while holding the big bouquet
"Aap Golden Moments Hotel ke room no. 505 me 6 bje pohoch jayega, there is a surprise for you"
(Reach Golden Moments Hotel, room no. 505, at 6 pm, there is a surprise for you)
"What?" Sara was confused
"Aap Golden Moments Hotel ke room no. 505 me 6 bje pohoch jayega, there is a surprise for you" the boy repeated exactly same words like he had learned to say that.
(Reach Golden Moments Hotel, room no. 505, at 6 pm, there is a surprise for you)
"Aapko Kisne bheja hai beta?"
(Who send you here dear?)
"Woh uncle ne..." The boy replied innocently.
(That uncle)
"Adnaan uncle ne?" Sara asked and the boy nodded.
"Kaha jaana hai?" she asked to confirm
(Repeat the address)
"Aap golden moments hotel ke room no. 505 me 6 bje pohoch jayega, there is a surprise for you" the boy repeated and Sara pinched his cheek then nodded
(Reach Golden Moments Hotel, room no. 505, at 6 pm, there is a surprise for you)
"Okay... Golden moments hotel, room no. 5o5." Mumbling that she close the door and the first thing she did was calling Adnaan while checking the flower bouquet which had a chit. Adnaan's mobile was switched off, because of Avinash's grace and he was unknown by the fact that Avinash put his mobile on airplane mode due to which he was unable to contact Sara.
She again call Adnaan but again same response, then she glanced at the note present on bouquet
'Don't get late, I love you.'
Sara smiled after reading that and resumed her work of cake making she didn't had much time so she decided to work fast.
After assembling the cake and decorating that with chocolate she place that in the fridge then decided to get ready. She was pretty surprised that Adnaan had summoned her instead of coming and pick her but she ignored, it wasn't first time when Adnaan did so, many times he says Sara to reach a particular point then they both go together where ever they suppose to go, so it was not a big deal for Sara.
Opening her wardrobe she think for ten minutes then she ended up on a black dress with golden over coat, that was the only dress which Adnaan had gifted Sara, otherwise he never take interest in picking dresses for her.
Changing herself in that dress she left her curly hair falling on her back. After Doing smokey eye makeup, she applied red lipstick on her naturally pink lips light blusher on her pale cheeks and she smiled at herself. "Perfect" With a smile she compliment the one standing other side of the mirror and glanced at the wall clock, exactly 5:30.
Picking her clutch and mobile she last time gave another stroke of lipstick to her lips before stepping towards the door of apartment.
" Where are you going Sara?" A voice stopped her when she was locking the door. That was the old lady who lives next door
"Khala, Adnaan has call me somewhere, I'm going there, and will come after dinner." Sara replied with a smile and the old lady also smiled but then looked at her hands, she was holding a dish
"I was bringing Biryani for you" She said and Sara smiled. "Khala you're not less than a mother for me... How did you get to know I want to eat biryani?" Sara asked with a smile and gave a side hug to the old lady.
"Now go, you're getting late. And when you come back take this biryani, I'm putting it in fridge" Sara nodded on that instruction and the old lady stroke her head with motherly love.
"Bohot pyari lag rahi ho, Allah khush rakhe aur tumhe kisi ki nazar na lage..." She muttered unher breath and Sara smiled.
(Looking beautiful, may God bless you and save you from evil eyes.)
Instead of riding scooty Sara took a taxi to hotel. Reaching there she looked everywhere. There was a lady standing at reception.
"Excuse me"
"How may I help you ma'am?"
"Umm... Can you tell me the way to room no. 505?" Sara asked and the lady nodded with a professional smile.
"Sure ma'am. That way" Sara nodded while taking steps ahead and with no difficulty she reached in a lobby where she found a room marked as room no. 505
Without knocking she open the door and her eyes became wide after watching the decoration of that room. It seems like there was a flood of flowers in that room red rose petals were making a path from door to the bed, while bed was covered with roses and many scented candles were making the dim lit room more seducing. Sara pressed her lower lips in between her teeth to suppress her shy smile.
Slamming the door after her she made her way to the bed, where she found a big bouquet again with a note on that. A new smile captured her lips, she pressed her lips together after reading the message
'Go to restroom'
Sara narrowed her eyes after reading that note and looked everywhere, no ne was present in the room other than flowers and candles. She dialed Adnaan's number one more time, it rang this time but Adnaan cut the call. She repeated her action many times but every time Adnaan cut the call. Sighing, she stepped in the restroom where she found a rose placed on the white marble sink, and a handwritten note with another message
'Change your clothes my Love, I want to see you in that'
"Oh God, what is cooking in his head." Placing her hand on her open mouth she muttered looking towards the cotton bathrobe placed beside that rose.
"Should I wear it or not?" Mumbling that Sara lift the bathrobe but she remembered that Adnaan's erotic fantasies always became wild when he saw Sara in these type of clothes. She smiled while pressing her lower lip in between her teeth and and decided to wear the rob.
She changed herself in that white cotton robe which was coming to her knees, tying its belt she adjusted her hair, pressed her lips together to make her lipstick fine when listen a knock on the door of restroom which made her heart skipped a beat.
It's not the first time when she was preparing herself to spend some romantic quality time with Adnaan, but it was first time when the environment was so seductive and specially decorated room for a special purpose.
All her blood was rushing to her cheeks, and heart was pumping in more than normal frequency. Pressing her cheeks in between her palms she looked herself in mirror and took a deep breath.
"Why I'm feeling so nervous? It's complete one year of our marriage." Questioning herself she again took a deep breath and stepped out from the restroom. This time all the lamps of room were also off, a few very small candles were the only source of light in that room.
"Adnaan" Sara muttered when noticed a figure standing beside the bed wearing a bathrobe, he was lilting the candles facing towards wall, the darkness of the room was not supporting Sara to recognize that figure.
But according to her he was her love, her husband, her Adnaan.
"I love you so much" Going towards that figure she rest her head on his back and wrapped her arms around his chest and her heart skipped a beat, but it wasn't that beat which she feels while hugging Adnaan, it was different with strange and negative vibes, she was froze on her spot and felt goosebumps on her whole frame. "Adnaan" A whispered left from her parted lips when she felt it was not the touch and fragrance of her husband.
"I love you too Sara... Honestly I love you so much" She shivered from inside and took a back step.
"Qaleel" Sara recognized his voice, and he hummed while turning around Making Sara flushed and her heart skipped many beats. Breath stuck in chest and forehead was covered with cold sweat when she realized about her clothes
"You..." She muttered in disbelief while taking a back step. At the same time the door was snap open and two men entered in.
===============
Adnaan's POV
I was in the hall of Golden Moments Hotel, I don't know why I was there, I wanted to spend some time with Sara but what I was doing? Checking flower arrangements for the office party.
Sometimes job is a headache, I couldn't refuse to do that work because Avinash is my boss's son. But he is my well wisher too.
Drawing out my mobile from pocket I thought to call Sara, just to ask if she is fine or not but "Adnaan put down your mobile and focus on the light arrangement I'm going to check other things" I silently nodded while pushing the mobile back in my pocket.
"What are you doing? This light should be forcing on stage" I yelled at the worker who was arranging lights. "Adnaan, yaar I have to call your bhabhi, can you..." I didn't let him complete and passed my mobile while touching my finger on the sensor to unlock that. Dialing a number Avinash disappeared from my eyes, he was looking tensed don't know why?
It wasn't first party of office, but he was taking interest in arrangements like it was his reception party only.
"Work carefully, and fast too" I instructed and looked away. There was only one question jumping in my head 'Can Sara betray me?' and I'm getting two answers. My mind was saying 'yes' because I know in the starting of marriage I was very cruel with her, I never give her attention as a wife. I had ruined the golden days of our life just because of my false hatred and hollow manly ego. So she could betray me to take revenge. I know she believes in vengeance.
But my heart...
My heart wasn't ready to believe that Sara could be involved in any kind of extra marital affair. My heart was ready to ignore each and every moment in which I Saw Sara talking to Qaleel. My heart was ready to ignore those gifts and flowers which Qaleel use to give her... My heart was only believing in Sara's love towards me, when she didn't betrayed me in that situation when I was doing wrong with her then how could she betray me when we both were living a good life together.
I was confused...
But I was determined that I haven't love anyone else other than this Jangli Billi... She wasn't the most beautiful girl around me, but she was the most Pagal (silli) girl around me and I love her silliness. Maybe No other girl could do that scooty stunt at midnight, but this Jangli Billi did...
She is crazy, and I love her craze.
"Adnaan" I came out of my trance with that voice.
"Yeah?" He was Avinash
"I saw Sara in the hotel"
"What?" I was confused, how it was possible? Sara must be in home. What she had to do in hotel? "Maybe it's a confusion. She is at home" I replied while shrugging my shoulders.
"It's not a confusion... I saw her... I'm sure she was Sara only. She was wearing a black dress with golden long overcoat" I was a bit surprised, butany other girls could also have a dress. "She was Sara in sure" I was highly confused after witnessing the confidence of Avinash.
"Where?" I asked and he pointed out towards the exit of hall. "She was talking to the receptionist" I think for a moment then my foot unwillingly moved towards reception.
"Where is she?" I asked to Avinash, because Sara wasn't anywhere in front of my eyes.
"Excuse me where is the lady who was asking something to you... She was wearing black dress." Avinash asked the receptionist and I was confused why he was so sure it was Sara. I tried to see if Sara was anywhere near me but she wasn't present in the hotel lobby. I don't know what the receptionist replied, but my attention went towards Avinash when he said "Thanks" to the receptionist.
"Room number 505" Avinash informed me and I slightly glare him "Avi what's wrong dude? It maybe someone else... Sara is in the home, she is baking a cake for me... We were supposed to spend time together but you call me here and our plan was ruined..." I state and he hummed while shrugging. "I don't know anything, but she was Sara... I'm sure" He was confident and his surety was making me scared.
"Excuse me, can you tell me who has booked room number 505" I asked the receptionist and she nodded "Sure sir" she was taking a few moments but that time was not less than hours for me.
"Sir that room is booked for Mrs. And Mr. QALEEL" I was numb, it couldn't be one more coincidence! And as far as I know Qaleel is unmarried.
"Adnaan... Adnaan where are you going?" I listened Avinash's voice and ignored, I climbed stairs with madly beating heart. The lift was occupied, I didn't wait... I couldn't wait...
I was praying to be proved wrong, I was dying from inside. Out of breath I reach room Number 5o5 and my heart skipped a beat when saw the tag of Do Not Disturb on the door.
My hands were shivering, lifting my hand I grab the knob of door.
"Adnaan, what are you going? It's book for some Qaleel... I think it's a confusion..." Avinash was saying but I wasn't listening, I was only listening my own heartbeat.
I twist the knob of the door, it was already unlocked, with madly beating heart and stopped breath I pushed the door and my heart stopped to beat for a moment, eyes refused to believe what I saw... "Sara" I couldn't help but utter her name...
I was numb
Numb? Numb is a small word...
I was dead, my soul was dead...
My wife who always confuses her love fearlessly was in a Hotel room with her colleague in such condition which a husband can't afford to see.
She was wearing a robe, coming to her knees revealing her legs and good amount of cleavage in front of Qaleel, who was also wearing a bathrobe. It wasn't difficult for me to put two and two together to understand the untold story behind the scene, and the seductive environment of that room was enough to telling remaining half story.
"Adnaan... Thankfully you have come here!" Sara said with a small smile before running towards me and hugged me. "Adnaan'' she again muttered in half clear voice while hugging me very tightly and I confused, her face was hidden in my chest and her arms were around me, I looked at Qaleel whose face was pale then I looked at Avinash and my heart gave a painful loud beat, he was watching Sara, specially her exposed legs, and I could detect his lust through his eyes. I was burning from inside and my every breath was igniting new volcano inside me.
"Ye sab kya hai Sara?" I asked in hushed tone, I wanted to distroy everything but I didn't had energy to even speak a few words.
(What is this Sara?)
"Ad.. Adnaan" she was cried on my chest.
"Stop it Sara... Now tell him that you also love me, stop this drama right here only. It's better that he got to know about us by himself" I looked at Sara who was still hugging me then glanced at Qaleel who was convenient my wife to confess his love.
"Qaleel..." Sara whispered while breaking the hug, "Don't do this with me" she muttered shaking his her head slowly.
"Daro nahi Sara main tumhare sath hu" Qaleel told Sara and she looked towards me.
(Sara don't worry, I'm with you)
"Kyu Sara? Mene kis cheez ki kami kari thi jo ye sab...!" I asked in whispered and she shook her head
(Why Sara? What was I missing that you're doing all this…!)
"Adnaan... Mujhe nahi pta ye sab kya ho raha hai... Tumne hi to mujhe yaha bulaya tha na..." She muttered and tears flow down from her eyes.
(Adnaan I don't know what's going on here... You only called me here..)
"Sara... Aaj dar jaogi to puri zindagi barbaad ho jayegi... Chalo mere sath" I looked towards Qaleel who was offering his hand to Sara
(Sara I'm with you, don't be scared)
"Qaleel... What are you doing?" she asked Qaleel then looked at me, I couldn't believe she was making another story. From childhood She was an expert lier, I knew it... But she came out as an expert traitor... An excellent Betrayer who was fooling me with her fake love.
"Well done Sara... I'm impressed with your acting skills, ek saal se mujhe lag raha hai main kitna bhi bura hu, lekin tum mujhe sachha pyaar karti ho..." I tried to shout but only whisper came out from my mouth.
(Since a year I'm feeling that no matter how many flaws I have... You really love me)
"Adnaan... I don't know anything... Believe me... I love you"
"I can see..." I taunt while glancing her from head to toe, her clothes were telling me everything.
"Adnaan... Please..." She held my hand but I pushed her away.
"Qaleel... You say something... I am begging... Please please don't do this with me" She muttered first part but then shouted out of frustration
"Adnaan I love Sara and we both want to live together" I didn't stay anything, I just glanced at my wife she shook her head and I took back steps.
"Adnaan... Trust me"
"You haven't left a single room for trust" Saying that I stepped out from the hotel room, Avinash followed me.
"It's okay Adnaan..." He tried to sooth my pain and I turned to saw Sara, she was still in that room watching me and my heart skipped a beat when Qaleel took few steps towards her and placed his hand on her shoulder.
"Why Sara" I mouthed and took steps ahead, my vision became blur due to tears gathers in my eyes.
"Adnaan... Be strong my boy... Be strong" Avinash patted at my shoulder and I removed his hand "Leave me alone" I didn't let my tears come out from eyes.
"Adnaan listen" Avinash call me from behind but I didn't listen and went away from that Hotel.
Sara...
The girl whom I hate most, but I hated myself for hating her and I was trusting her blindly...
I was fail to judge her... How can she betray me?
How many dreams I was making with her.
I never shared with her but when Bisma demanded for a chhota baby I started dreaming about a family with Sara... I love her...
No...
I loved her...
Now I hate her!
How fool I was! Many times I caught her with Qaleel in my own home, I don't know what she use to do with him in my absence but I was trusting her blindly, and what she did with me?
Driving towards some unknown place I was remembering each and every moment we had spent together. The moment I realized I love her... The moment when I kissed her for the first time, our fights and her beffeting replies....
How it was possible that she was betraying me and I was feeling that she only love me... After driving to no specific destination I don't know where I reach. It was an unknown area for me... And deserted too...
Taking the corpse of myself on my two shoulders I took step out from the car. No one was present on that place other than me, myself and my helplessness. "Aaaaaahhh...." Clenching my hair in my fists I screamed loudly and fell down on my knees. Tears rolling out from my eyes... My eyes were flashing the scene of Sara with Qaleel, there was only one step distance between both of them and Sara's clothes were showing a good amount of her cleavage, her milky white legs... Which Avinash was seeing in front of me... I can't tolerate these things.... moreover the commands of Qaleel to confess his love. I was screaming loudly while clenching my hair in my fist, only I knew what I was feeling... I was crying loudly... I don't care what will anyone say about me when will see a man crying but I lost myself... I was already dead... I don't care about my manly ego... Sara killed me.
The girl whom I loved most... I hate myself to love her.
"I HATE YOU SARAAAA" I screamed as loud as I could.
================
SARA'S POV
I was watching Adnaan going away from that room, I wanted to run after him but firstly I wanted to understand what exactly happened in a few minutes, I was out of my mind... I wanted to make Adnaan believe in my purity but how? He turned to saw me my eyes dropped tears, and heart demanded to go after him and hug him tightly. "Why Sara?" I saw gush of tears in his eyes before my brain could command my legs to took step ahead a hand landed on my shoulder which smade me shivered from inside, it was Qaleel. Turning around I saw him and when I again looked towards Adnaan he was already gone away from my sight.
"Why Qaleel?" I cried out while pushing his hand away from my shoulder.
"Go to your home" He said politely I sobbed placing my hand on my mouth. "But why you did this?" I mumbled and tears rolled down from my eyes again.
"I love you Sara... Trust me I love you so much. I'm ready to marry yo..." I grit my teeth and slap him as hard as I could. He was shocked for a moment, placing his hand on his cheek he keep watching me for a long moment
"Shame on you... I trusted you as a friend... And you..." I was demented, I wanted to cry, I wanted to slap Qaleel one more time but mostly I wanted to hug my husband and tell him everything "Adnaan was warning me to stay away from you... He was saying that you're not a good person but I distrust him..." I shouted and again slap him. I was cursing myself for not trusting Adnaan and trusting Qaleel...
"Tumhara gussa jayaz hai... Mujhe maaf kar do... Aur apne ghar jaao" He simply give me way to go out from the room and I was shocked... What was that? Was that a trap? Or coincidence or any kind of misunderstanding? But...
I was becoming mad... Qaleel left the room silently, I was confused what should I do then, the first thing I did was changing my clothes and stepped out from the room after washing my face. When I went to the ground floor of Hotel a figure smirked at me and my condition.
Ignoring her and wiping my tears I made my way towards the exit but she stands at front of my way.
"Leave my way Mansi." I glare her and wiped my fresh tears. "Opps..." She smirked again, I tried to step ahead but she again block my way.
"Mrs. Sara Adnaan Rizwi, I have listen that your husband caught you red-handed with your boyfriend... Poor Adnaan... I'm feeling bad for him... By the way ask your husband from my side that how did he felt with his insult in front of many people?" Patting my cheek she asked me with a smirk and I pushed her hand away before running out from the hotel.
Taking taxi I reached home, that was still locked, which was indicating that Adnaan wasn't back to home. I tried to contact him many times by he didn't receive my call.
"Allah... What happened with me!" I mumbled and cried more. I was helpless, there wasn't anyone who could help me... So leaving with no one else I decided to ask for help from my almighty. After changing my clothes I spread the prayer mat and started praying to make everything fine... Placing my head in Sujood I cried as loud as I could.
"Allah... Please do something... Please" I was pleading and crying, my headache was killing me and my breath was becoming uneven due to crying with hiccups. And I didn't realised when I was consumed by the slumber.
============
I open my eyes and felt my head was getting heavy, I was still in the position of Sujood, with great difficulty I picked my head from the floor.
"Adnaan..." I only moved my lips but voice wasn't coming out from my throat, Adnaan was sitting in front of me, his back was resting with wall and his hand was holding his forehead.
"Aa.. Adnaan" This time I call him louder than before but in shivering voice. He come out of his trance, and open his eyes after removing his hand. I felt my heart skipped a beat and my breath was stucked in my throat because his eyes were looking red with angry. "Adnaan" I utter his name and he glare me. I tired to stand up but I was feeling dizzy and headache due to sleeping in wrong posture. "Adnaan..." I hugged him and closed my eyes hiding my face in his chest. "Qaleel did an intrigue against me... I don't know anything about that" I mumbled and he placed his both hands on my shoulders. Pushing me away from his frame he glare me and I felt like a thunder on my cheek because he slapped me tightly. I suddenly fell down on floor due to that heavy hand. My mind was numb, I was trying to understand what happened suddenly... I took few seconds to realises what actually happened with me, with slightly open mouth I was watching Adnaan and two tears dropped off from my eyes. I blinked once and this time I cried and sobbed placing my hand on my cheek. "Adnaan" that whisper left my mouth before a sob, I was trying to understand how could he slap me like that but at that moment my poor mind had stopped working and Adnaan Was glaring me regularly with his bloodshot eyes.
"Adnaan" I tried to stood up but my legs refused.
"GET LOST FROM MY LIFE..." he emphasise on every word while pointing out towards the door.
"Adnaan I'm your wif...."
"I said get lost... And don't show me your face again" He shouted and I sobbed more, "Adnaan trust me... I don't know how Qaleel went there, I was waiting for you... But..."
"Stop it Saraaa... Stop it..." He shouted so loudly that my heart stopped to beat for a moment.
"Adnaan trust me" I cried in front of him. "Is there any room left for trust? I was blindly trusting you, but what is left now? You and Qaleel were in that state.... Sara get lost from here"
I was crying with hiccups, I didn't had words to describe my truthfulness. I wanted to reverse the time and stop myself to go to that hotel.
"Adnaan... I love you" I mumbled and tears rolled out of my eyes but he looked away. Making myself stand with my shivering legs I held his hands. "Adnaan... I forgive you for having an affair with Mansi... Can't you trust me?" I questioned, I had trust in him that he would understand me but he pushed me away making my balance out.
"Adnaan..." I was shocked again, he was not even listening me.
"After marriage I never cheat on you..." He roared "I also didn't, Qaleel had played a game" I shouted back.
"Oh really? Had Qaleel forced you to come to hotel? Had he forced you to stay in that room? Had he forced you to wear those clothes? Sara stop making stories... I'm not a fool... I can see everything... I was ignoring his visits in my absence, I was ignoring his gifts but how can I ignore your proximity with him?"
I wanted to made him believe in every condition but he was not ready to understand, he was believing on what he saw, not on what I wanted to tell him.
" Adnaan... " I rest my head on his chest, and my heart again skipped a beat but this time he grabbed my arm tightly dragging me with himself "Adnaan... Please... Trust me... It was an intrigue" I was crying but he left me in front of the main door of our apartment.
"Get out from my home"
"Adnaan... Where will I go"
"Go to your Qaleel... I don't have space for a woman who live in my home but have an affair with someone else."
"Adnaan..." I join my hands in front of him, my legs refused to hold my weight and I fell down on my knees. "Adnaan at least listen to me..." I placed my head on his knees, holding his legs but he was not ready to listen anything.
"I said out" he Roared. And my heart stopped beating, I understand that he won't understand me anymore. "Adnaan..." not a single word come in my mouth to say other than his name, he jerked his leg and my hands left him. Standing up I tried to catch my breath which was not coming in my chest due to hiccups.
"Wa... Water.." I asked him while taking breath with open mouth and he glare me, but moved towards kitchen, placing my head on my chest I was trying to breath properly but I jumped on my place when listened a loud thud. Going towards kitchen I found Adnaan with red eyes, and the cake made by me was laying on the floor. He threw that.
"Addu..." I mumbled and joined my hands, that was the first time when I was compromising with my self respect because I was ready to do anything to save that relationship.
"Mera ehsaan utaarna chahti thi na tum? Utar do mera ehsaan... Chali jaao meri zindagi se... Aur kabhi wapas nahi aana.." Giving me a bottle half filled with water he said with venom in his voice, my heart stopped to beat
(You wanted to return my favor, right? So get lost from my life and never come back)
"Adnaan" I muttered and he glare me, this time I also glare him "I hate you... I won't forgive you for this" Mumbling that I took back steps.
"I hate you more... Now out"
Taking my broken self I stepped out from the home, and even after trying to be strong my eyes dropped two tears. That was the house which I was supposing as my home I wanted to be strong but what could I do? I was helpless... While stepping out from the home I remembered my entry in this home as a bride after exactly 365 days I was leaving that home as a culprit.
Walking out of the building I passed by the park of society and a loud sob left from my parted lips. Unknownly my foot went there, it was the same grass on which I and Adnaan use to walk holding hand in hand. I looked up towards the balcony which was my favorite place, there were thousands of memories related to each and every inch of this place. Adnaan was standing in the Balcony. I don't know what was that feeling but I wanted to die at the same moment. My eyes were already shedding tears and I noticed Adnaan was also crying but he loudly slammed the Balcombe door and I keep watching that shut door. Suddenly I felt wetness on my cheek and forehead making me realise that the sky was also shedding tears for me. Another raindrop fall on my face and first time I didn't feel like rain brings happiness in life...
For the first time I felt the pain of a raindrop. It must be feel helpless just like me, while it has been pushed down from the height of sky and it wait to fall down on the hot and hard land, where it converted into a mess.
Just like me...
