Author's p.o.v

Its been two days to that bombastic decision of dadi since then Miral was not giving him proper attention as she used to give and that was annoying Zarar to hell.

Whenever he tries to get closer to her she used to backoff saying 'Don't spoil your habits Zarar! After some days I won't be here. Then you will feel lonely".

"Little did she know how lonely I still feel by her such antics."

Zarar mumbled looking at ceiling.

He was sitting in his office whole perplexed.

Just then his eyes landed on his phone and whole events of that day when he scolded his secretary because of Miral and how Miral destroyed his peace projected in front of him making him smile.

There was something in his heart which he was unable to understand and say.

Whatever that was but was so unclear and so blurry.

He sighed and took a file from the pile placed on his table.

From past 2 days he was unable to concentrate and that was resulting as increase in no of files on his table.

Shrugging off all the thoughts he started reading files one by one.

"Yawrrr Dadi!!! "

Miral whined stomping in dadi's room.

"What happened??"

Dadi jan who was reading an Islamic book asked shocked .

"Yawr Dadi!!!"

Miral sat on bed infront of dadi with a thud whining.

"Yes my girl?"

Dadi asked lovingly.

"Its been 2 days and there is No Change!!"

She stated or more shouted.

" So?"

" So?? I guess this plan won't work."

She cried.

"Come on! It's been just 2 days not 2 years. Have some patience. He will surely respond."

Dadi shrugged.

Miral looked at her with sad puppy face and dragged herself towards garden after nodding.

Dialing a number she put phone bear her ear and sat on bench placed at the corner of garden.

On 2nd ring someone received the call.

"Assalam o alikum Meruu!! How are you?"

A cheerful voice erupted from other side of phone.

"Walikum salam I am all good. How you are and Rehab bhai?"

"I am fine Alhundulilah and Rehab? He is super good and why not he be when he has me to disturb all the day. Idiot!!!"

Tooba whined and Miral laughed hard.

"Anyways How's your story going? Did Zarar bhai did something?"

"No yar!! He doesn't even say anything."

"Why? Do you keep his lips locked aham aham?"

"Shut up!! It's not your Khan villa where atmosphere will be romantic and sizzling 24/7."

Miral rolled eyes.

"Well this Khan villa's atmosphere seems like zoo more than what you think."

Tooba said.

"Well that's fun!!"

"Yarrrrr!!!"

Miral whined after talking for sometime.

"What happened? Tell me straight away. I know something is bothering you. Spill now!!"

Tooba ordered.

"Actually..."

Miral narrated whole plan of dadi and Zarar's behaviour to her.

"Oh so this is the problem!!"

"Yes!"

"Come on baby idea is so simple. Just ignore him as much as you can."

Tooba shrugged.

Miral glared at her phone as she was glaring at Tooba.

"Tooba dear!!"

"Yes dear!!"

"Your ideas are so underrated and need to be polished."

"Why?"

"Cause this is the same idea you gave to Anfal months ago."

Miral rolled eyes.

"Oh that!!! Well you can try this as well. Or you can stick to him or leave him on his own. All your choice love!!"

After talking for almost 2 hours contunously Miral hung up.

Another 4 days passed with perplexities and anxiety.

It was 7th day that started.

Zarar came back home late at night caise of his meeting and dinner woth a client.

It was 12 at night.

He went towards washroom to fresh up.

After taking a quick shower he marched towards bed where Miral was already sleeping on her side.

It was indeed a hectic day!!

He sighed and laid down at his side without taking his eye off of Miral who was sleeping soundly.

" Why you have to be so far?"

He murmured looking at the distance between them.

"Will it really end? Like this?"

He questioned himself.

Nothing came in his mind so he took his phone and opened WhatsApp. Just then someone's status caught his eyes.

"Sometime stumbling becomes so beautiful and worthy. When you know that there is a very thin line separating you with your love , your destiny and you can stumble to the other side anytime soon so why not now? Why to stop your heart? Why to waste time when you can conquer the moment? Just close your eyes. Take a deep breath and step ahead!! To the other side where your everything is waiting for you!!

~Gulle_Jana"

This was written on the status board and it hit him hard.

Putting his phone aside he snuggled closer and scooped Miral in his arms.

The moment she put her head on his chest he felt heavenly.

This was fragnanace he was in quest for.

He smiled and hugged her tightly to never let her go.

This moment he realized that she was the one written for him.

She was the one who completed his deen.

He was incomplete without her. She was his other half. His better half!!

With a smile he closed his eyes.

" Is everyone ready?? Has everything done??"

Dad yelled from outside.

It was Sunday the 10th day.

They all were going for a picnic to farmhouse.

Miral was stressed plus excited for living after a long time.

Zarar haven't said anything to her still.

She wasn't ready for the circumstances.

"Yes dad!!"

Zarar voice brought her out of her air castle.

"Ready?"

She looked up here he was standing looking at her intently.

"Hmm!!"

She nodded and steeped ahead towards porch where cars were ready to race.

Miral intentionally sat in dad's car with Dadi jan while mom and dada jan sat with Zarar in his car.

Soon cars were pacing on road in their meant direction.

After an hour of journey they reached farmhouse.

After playing tennis and cricket for sometime all were having refreshment while Miral was pacing around swimming pool all drowned in her drastic thoughts.

"Bhuuu!!!!"

Just then someone yelled near her ear making her jump at her place and it resulted her falling in swimming pool.

This was the last thing she wanted.

"Miral!!!"

Zarar yelled running towards her.

This was not he planned.

Just then he saw her drowning.

"Doesn't she know how to swim?"

He murmured and without another thought thought he jumped in swimming pool.

Scooping her in his arms he made his way towards the staircase in pool and managed to get out with her who was half unconscious.

" Are you okay? Can you breath properly? Tell me are you alright? Miral!! Speak up yarr!!!!"

Zarar shouted in agony.

None of them spoke a single word along with Miral.

"I am sorry!!!"

Zarar quickly hugged her tightly as his life depends on her only.

"I am okay!!"

Miral whispered slowly.

Dadi jan gave towel to Miral and was about to take her when Zarar stopped her.

"Where are you taking her?"

He questioned.

"To my room. Today is her last day with all of us so I want to spend it whole with her."

Something clicked in his mind.

"No!"

He murmured.

"NOOoo!!!!"

He shouted in frustration.

" Why would she leave?"

He asked.

"Because she deserve sowmone who can love her."

Mom said coming towards him.

" Dont say like this."

He whispered slowly.

"Why? I will make sure she gets married to someone who will keep her happy."

" No!! Miral Miral!!!"

He went towards her and held her from her shoulders.

Miral who was quiet from while ago looked at him.

"Miral listen! Just listen to me once!!"

"Why would I listen to you? Why??"

"Cause.. cause I am your husband!!"

This was all he could say.

"Husband?? Which Husband? The husband who never loved me. Who masked his feelings with sympathy. Who diesnt have guts to say it to my face."

She gritted teeth.

"I am sorry Miral!!! I was a fool who didn't realize his mistake at the time but its not too late still. Please forgive me!! I.. I love you Miral!!!"

He said with all his might.

Miral hide her smile and keot on looking at him.

"I really love you!! I really do!! I can't imagine my life without you!!"

He hugged her pouring his all emotions in the hug.

Miral smiled and hugged him back.

"I love you more!!!"

She whispered and everyone shouted in joy.

___________

Night was gloomy.

Whole sky was sparkling with stars.

Miral and Zarar were sitting in garden.

"I am sorry!!"

Zarar said.

" Come on yar!! You have said this same thing to me almost 1000 times since afternoon. I have forgiven you now stop."

Miral whined.

"Haha okay!!"

Zarar laughed kissing her cheek.

"Well promise me something!!"

"Anything!!!"

"You will always love me!!

You will never behave like a emotional fool again!!

You will fulfills all my dreams!!"

She's stated the list.

"Promise !!!"

He smiled.

She smiled.

The moment stopped.

Stars starred dancing round them in joy.

Just then they both leaned towards each Other and joined their heads.

Zarar kissed her head leaving the mark of his love.

"I promise I will fulfills all your wishes!!"

He whispered to his heart and looked at her intently giving her the surety that from now on HER DREAMS will be his dreams.
