《My One And Only》23.
Advertisement
I was really upset with whatever happened today, somewhere in my heart there was a soft corner for haadi but what happened today, i think i should stop thinking about that idiot now...It was 8 in the evening,When I reached to my apartment's building, I saw arsam car was parked there, I went to my apartment hurriedly wondering why he is here this time,
I saw arsam, alizeh, rohaid Bhai and hania, everyone was present there,
Hania was crying, alizeh was sitting with her and arsam was walking to and fro, and rohaid Bhai was on the phone,
"What happened guys? Is everything alright" I asked casually entering in the living room.
"Aru.." Hania said and hugged me..
"Okay, okay... What happened, koi mujhe btaega?" I asked looking at rest of them.
"Where were you?" Arsam asked..
"Or tumhara phone kyun off tha?" This was rohaid Bhai.
"How irresponsible of you arisha, you know how worried we all were " alizeh said..
"Ek second, ek second....mujhe saans toh lene do, aur Aesi konsi qayamat aa gai Jo achanak tum sab mujhe dhundne lag gae" I asked acting confused , as if nothing happened..
"Tum ye btao, tum thik ho na" Hania asked concerned.
"Or kya yaar, mujhe kya hona hai...mai..mai toh bilkul thik hu"
I replied with a smile..not mentioning how mad I was at haadi.
"Tum thi kahaan?" Arsam again asked.
"Are, I was heading back home, when I got a call from that orphanage where I often use to go,.....there was some emergency,so they called me..."I told them, "and my phone died, so I couldn't inform you guys..that's it"
"Aru,look you can tell us, we know what haadi Bhai did in the college aur tum dono ka jhagda hua hai and all but ..." Arsam was saying when I cut him..
"Don't ..just Don't talk about him.. Your brother is a total psycho arsam.. He don't know how to talk,he don't know how to behave...he need help, get him a psychiatrist asap.." All my frustration came out..which I was trying to hide.
"I don't understand why he started hitting rahil, you know my hairs were stuck in his sleeves ,I was just trying to free it.. And then out of nowhere, came Mr Haadi Malik, he started punching Rahil, and with that my hairs pulled so badly you know...its hurting till now.. I don't believe he grew up into a beast" I was yelling in full voice , and then I noticed that everyone was looking at me with surprised face.
"Okay so it was a misunderstanding.." Rohaid Bhai said rubbing his chin.
"Yeah may be , haadi ko laga that rahil is touching you or something.." Alizeh said agreeing to rohaid Bhai words.
"What misunderstood huh? And even if, it is...Then also he has no right to take such steps.." I was really mad at him.
"One second,ab mujhe smjh aya, he was jealous...haadi Bhai was jealous to see you with someone else..MATLAB he feels for you but he don't want to admit this" he laughed, Arsam again started his nonsense bakwas.
"Arsam just shut up okay...You know what your brother said... He said I let every other guy touch me...this is what he thinks of me and you are here trying really hard to create a love story..Really? ..listen , I HATE your brother..i literally hate him Okay?"

Yeah, now I hate him for what he said today, he made a huge scene in front of the whole college, I know he was jealous, why can't he just admit it. Now, I am not going to wait for him to realize and confess. I have to get over him, its not good for me.
Arsam started laughing as if I am telling a joke.. " Don't make a fool of yourself aru, we can see how much you hate him" arsam said sarcastically laughing..
Idiot.
"Shut up arsam.. I am serious" I yelled again..
"Okay okay, stop screaming girl" rohaid Bhai said
"Yeah, stop all this,focus on my wedding now there's just few weeks left for our wedding.. And I want peace ... Please you guys, there's already so much drama we all went through" Alizeh said...
And yeah did I just forget to mention in all this that alizeh and rohaid Bhai are going to get married by the end of this month...
"Don't worry Alizeh Appi.. We'll make your wedding a hit" Hania said coming in the frame with coffee for all of us..
"Yeah just leave haadi bhai's topic for a while..and tell what's the plan? Is there anything special you guys want us to do for you" this was Arsam, he seriously knows how to switch roles within seconds..one moment he will be all responsible and mature and the next moment he will jump like a kid.. I think that's why he is my best friend..
"Because maliks will be from rohaid's side, I want both of you girls to come from my side.." Alizeh said cheerfully.. I don't believe that just fifteen minutes ago they were acting all worried and now, they are discussing the wedding plans..
"Yeah , it will be great.. We will be from bride's side..yay" Hania cheered.
I was just sitting and listening them..But My mind again and again went to haadi but I scolded my brain not to focus on him this time,
I promise, if after few days he will come with his stupid sorry , I am not gonna forgive him now..
Alizeh snapped her fingers in front of me to bring me back to senses..
"Yeah?" I said..
"What ? Are you listening or not.."
"Alizeh bhabhi, she has a habit of being zone out in the middle of the conversation.." Arsam said laughing..
"What were you saying alizeh?" I asked ignoring arsam comment.
"I was saying that why don't you guys come and stay in my house for the wedding.."
"No, that's not possible..baba won't allow us..we were just allowed to go malik's mansion and..."
"I'll talk to baba.. Don't worry aru... We'll come..it will be fun to stay there during wedding" Hania said..I eyed her but she ignored..
Suddenly rohaid bhai's phone rung, He looked at me without picking up the call,
"Its haadi..." He excused himself and walked out.
•••••••
After driving off from her college, I don't know where I was going..I was just so angry that I don't want to talk to anyone..I don't to see anybody ... I stopped the car, when I was far away from the city.. My inner self was continuously arguing with me..
She slapped me?
Because what you said was unacceptable, haadi.

So what? She was there with another man.
That's her life, stop behaving like a possesive husband for god's sake.
But she can't just let anyone touch her just like that
Why is it even bothering you? You are just a friend..remember you said that she is just a friend and you don't love her, then why all of a sudden you behaving like a psycho lover.
Because I love her damn it..
Yes I do.
I stopped my car in the middle of the road.
" I love her? " I asked myself..
Damn, yes I love her that is why this was bothering me, I cannot even want to imagine her with someone else.. Thats why my heart beats faster whenever I see her, that's why I always felt so different when she was closer to me or my siblings were calling her 'bhabhi' , the feeling was so different because it clears that she belonged to me, she is mine.. Yes, she is mine..
I have to tell her, I have to confess it..first, I need to apologize for whatever I said...... I already messed up everything ..now I'll make up everything I promise..
I decided to go back..I saw my phone ,
There were so many missed calls,
I called rohaid first, after few rings he picked the call..
often,
••••••
Next morning, when I entered my house, dad and mom were worried, I told them that I was in office last night, which was partially true, because after that phone call with rohaid, I went to office last night,also informed arsam about this..
After all the interrogation with the mom dad, about that incident and last night... I went finally in my room, took a long nap, and now I am getting ready to meet rohaid...His wedding is round the corner, so I am ready to help him with all the preparations too..
I wanted to tell arsam and rohaid about my feelings for arisha, but then, first I decided to tell her ,she should be the first to know this..
I inquired about that incident and found that, actually that guy was just trying to pull off her button or something... I just overreacted I guess..
I do realize that what I said to arisha yesterday was worse than those punches..She probably hate me for this or may be she just want to kill me..
Frankly, I don't have courage to face her right now..I am scared..
••••••
Arisha's POV
We haven't went to stay at alizeh's place because baba just gave us the permission for two days..and there is approx two and a half weeks for their wedding..But that doesn't mean I am not going to help her in preparations.
Today we are going to get the mehndi, mayun and dholki outfit for Alizeh,
Alizeh's brother Ayaan (A.N-: remember I told you guys ,he is entering soon) is taking us there.. When we reached the designer showroom, we started searching for the perfect outfit..
So its me, alizeh, ayan and Hania.
Yeah ayan was just stuck with all the girls..
I met alizeh's family for the first time, and they were all very friendly..
"How's this one?" Alizeh asked pointed at the dress the girl was showing..
"Yeah okay, if you like it then..." I said carelessly, i think my mind was somewhere else
"O come on arisha, you are here to help me na, give your honest suggestions" she said and i came back to senses.
"Oh...Actually its just nice..not a bride material at all" I said and she chuckled..
"Why not you select some of them and go try those first" Hania ,our mastermind,suggested
"Yeah..wait..let me select few " I said and started checking all the outfits again.
She took few outfits, and went to the trial room.. She was looking so pretty in all the outfits that we were more confused.
Alizeh was now so tired after trying almost ten to fifteen outfits that she asked me help her out.. So now.. I am trying some of the outfits on her behalf..
I was going to try the outfit when saw rohaid Bhai coming in with ayaan.
"Rohaid Bhai? Aap yahaa kya kar rahe hai? " I asked..
"Arey I am here to help my fiance.." He said ,
"We will help her, aap jaiye..aunty ne mana kiya na aapko shadi tak Milne ko.." I was just playing around.
I tried to push him out.. But nope, he was so stubborn..so I let it be.
I went to the trial room ,
When I stepped out of the trial room I bumped into someone..
Not again!!
"I think you are trying to set some world record of bumping into me" he said with a smirk
I looked at him and moved away..
Now why is he here.
Its been five days since that incident happened, I was thinking he will call me to apologize like every time but no, he didn't show up.. And now he was standing in front me..smirking like an idiot..
Then it struck in my head, that I am standing there in the bridal dress and he was looking at me without blinking his eyes.
Idiot
I started to walk out from there but he held my wrist,
"Leave my hand if you don't want me to slap you again" I said trying to free my hand.
"But I want you to slap me" he said pulling me to him "your slap did magic to me arisha, I got all the answers I was trying to search from so long"
"I don't care, leave me..." I pushed him "Remember, Stay Away From Me" I said and moved out where everyone was..
Haadi also came and sat with Bhai after a while.
"This one is pretty..Roh Should I take this one?" Alizeh asked rohaid Bhai looking at the dress I was wearing..
"Yeah.. Its nice"
"Sorry mam, someone just purchased it.." The girl told
"No problem.. We will find another one" alizeh smiled and started looking another outfits.
"Wait, who purchased this one?" I asked the girl.
"Ma'am, Mr Haadi malik just purchased this dress" she told.. We all looked at haadi..
"Tune kiske liye purchase kiya hai? Rohaid Bhai asked.
"Umm.. I want to gift this to someone, someone special" haadi told him without looking at me..
What? Special someone?

Dungeon Man Sam Vol. 1, Dungeon Man Sam and the Orphaned Core is now available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited! Official Dungeon man Sam Discord! Drop by and say hello! We're still tiny, but if you wave to me I'm always happy to wave back and chat! --------------- In a world where dungeons function as the backbone of national economies, dungeon construction is big business. Wealthy nations spend millions to have the best dungeon builders construct labyrinthine edifices full of the most dangerous traps and planted with the strongest dungeon cores in the hope of luring powerful adventurers in to retrieve the treasures generated deep within. Samuel Tolliver works for his father, who runs the finest construction crew on the continent. It is a good life, one that keeps him close to family and that earns him enough money to pursue his inventions when he has a free moment. He even has something of a talent for fixing things and keeping the various bits of equipment running. It should have been the best job in the world. There's just one problem. Sam hates dungeons and wants to destroy them all some day. And he's got the plan to do it, too. But life has a way of throwing curveballs at you. When a series of disastrous events that he himself set in motion culminates in Sam winding up dead, he thought that was the end of it. Until a voice came to him and offered him a deal, one he simply couldn't refuse. Now Dungeon Man Sam has returned to life as the guardian for a strange new dungeon core, one that will turn everything he knows about the world upside down and force him to set aside his hatred of dungeons. For the sake of himself, his friends, and his family, Sam must construct a dungeon like the world has never seen before and defend it against all comers, be they monstrous or adventurous. If he succeeds, he'll get to see his family again. If he fails, everyone he knows will fall into the grave. And somewhere beyond the range of his knowledge, something ancient and terrible stirs and takes notice. Dungeon Man Sam: When all you have is a hammer, you build. --------------- This Is A Work In Progress: This isn't the final form of Dungeon Man Sam, there's gonna be some typos, and things may change between chapters as I realize "crap, I didn't set that up nearly as well as I thought I did". I'll let you know if anything like that happens, and if you notice anything that you think is worth pointing out, feel free to let me know! Hope you enjoy the story!
