You cannot let her have him". Her mother screamed as she throws everything in her room around
"Did you see him looking at her?. The way he looks at her. He loves her". She screamed throwing the vast in the glass table
"So what?. You have to win his love. Your love is strong enough, you can do anything. Even if you have to snatch it. Do it. It's your love". Her mother consoles her broken heart
The party continues with the guests starting to leave. And the only family remain was her and his (Malik) family. Her sister mingles with Malik and the love between them can be seen by anyone.
Malik was in the same batch as Izra. He was her classmate and she has liked him since she first shifted to this new house after her mother marriage. When she had no one and she hated Huda the only one who brings her comfort and a little ease to her burning heart was Malik.
Malik was her first love.
However, Malik always used to talk about Huda and her likes and dislikes. His mind was filled with only Huda. She hated it which means she hurt Huda more.
Malik turned eighteen a few days before Izra while Huda remains 16.
She stands in the top of the stairs watching Huda giggling at something Malik said to her and the blush adorning her cheeks. The softness and the gentleness of her nature can be felt even from far. The love in her eyes and the replicate feelings from the one she loves burns Izra inside.
Huda turns to look at her glaring eyes and she said something walking towards the stairs. The more steps she takes towards Izra the more the words get louder over her own rational thoughts.
He is yours.
He is your love.
Snatch it.
Your love.
Snatch it.
You have to do it.
Snatch it.
And she did.
She snatched her love right from her sister hands throwing her down the stairs as she screams until her scream disappeared and the shouting of everyone started.
"What did you do to her?. How could you do that?. You are a monster. I hate you. I hate you, Izra. I never want to see your face again. I will never forgive you. You are a murderer. You are a murderer".
Were the words from Malik for her. After years of loving him- he left with nothing but hate in his heart for her.
Feeding children every single demand is feeding them with poison (greed for more). Greed is the worse humans trait that will never fulfil no matter how much they have. To make them have everything they want without making them realising what and how much they cost is making them inhumane. Today, it's just a toy, tomorrow it will turn them into a monster who wants everything.
She throws the pictures on her mother grave standing in front of where she is buried by her team. Along with her is her father grave. After two months, she has finally managed to come out of the toxic poison that was given to her.
Not only that poison which enters her body she came out of the poison that she feeds her heart.
Self-hate.
It's not easy when you start to hate your own self. The feelings of wanting to crawl yourself in darkness so you never see yourself again. The feelings of not able to breathe in your own body.
Nothing is worse than that hate.

At least in people hate you have someone to blame to, who do you have when you hate yourself?.
"Why did you send me these, mother?. Why do you have to realise now?. Who will stop my lifelong bleeding heart?". She asked standing alone with an umbrella in her hands as rain poured, "I am burying you here along with everything that happened. I don't have a family anymore. I don't have anyone besides Adam and Omar now".
She turns around heading towards her car that was waiting for her at the exit for the cemetery. She sits inside looking through her phone ringing with messages from her husband who is worried about her health especially in this windy weather. She smiles shaking her head deciding to stay away from everyone and everything to settle herself.
She went to the beach without her umbrella this time as she sits on the bench allowing the rain to drench her and take away her sorrow with them.
Then she broke down.
The pain and the guilt that will always stays within her no matter what. Even if people were to forgive her, some sins takes everything away from us. The guilt for some sins always stays even if everyone forgives us. She knows she will be staying with guilt for her lifetime. She cannot ever erase her doing and she can never have a normal relationship with her sister too.
There is no way to lessen her guilt however that doesn't mean she will allow the guilt to take over her life. Yes, she is guilty but she has built a life for herself. A comfort for herself that when she breaks she knows she is at the best place- in his arms.
She feels his arms wrapping around her bringing her shaking body to his body warmth as she weeps in his hold and his hold only tightened around her.
She hadn't told him everything.
Nor she wishes to open her sins to anyone anymore. We are asked to hide our sins not confess them to anyone but our Lord. He never asked her in these two months neither about her first love. She remembers everyone hides the fact that she did that to her sister and since her sister was underage Malik family cannot take her away from their house. However, she changed from that night. She started to take care of her as an older sister. She gives her own food to her when her mother banned food for her. She hides her away while her drunk father hit her instead because he couldn't find Huda. She used to run away with her to hide in the backyard to save her from her mother. She used to take her from the storeroom and have her sleep on her bed while she slept on the floor. And most importantly she begged for her forgiveness until she turned eighteen.
The day she turned eighteen, she packed Huda's bag and made her run with Malik. She placed Huda's hand in Malik's hand while she watched her first love looking at her with hate and holding onto Huda like his life depend on it and they disappeared right in front of her.
Which resulted in month lockdown in the basement and constant beating from her mother for allowing her sister to escape then her mother wanted her to become rich to compensate for making Huda run away. And she did what her mother asked of her because of the promise she did to Huda. She was beaten, abused, called name and whatnot but she stayed there as her punishment.

"Chalein?". Adam asked softly pulling away wiping her tears away (shall we)
She knows that moment that she loves this man. He had always been there when she broke down in these past months. He was always around her loving her and taking care of her without asking anything from her. That's just how men love- they provide by every means and asks for nothing but a little love, respect and attention.
Is that hard to give?.
She knows that her life will be hard however she knows who to fight for. She knows she will fight for her happiness and live a beautiful hard life with him.
She nodded.
They entered back in the house to find a panic Omar pacing around.
"Is ka saach mai ghar nahi?". She asked Adam (he really don't have a house)
Adam shrugged.
"I heard that sister and it truly hurts". Omar said dramatically, "How about you change and we eat?".
"Can't you leave?". Adam asked annoyed, "I was going to tell her to change why are you acting as her husband?".
"Please". Omar said rolling his eyes, "I am better off being a brother and brother tends to be very caring towards their sister. Don't be jealous plus were the one who abandoned me on your wedding day so why should I care about you?".
"Can't you get him married?". Izra asked giggling at Omar's words
"He found a girl and lost her". Adam said and his eyes widen so did Omar's
"I told you not to tell her". Omar said accusing
"It's hard for me to keep things from her. You shouldn't have told me". Adam argued
"You are a King and you can't even keep a little secret". Omar said angrily
"I-". Adam started
"So, he likes someone?". She said looking at her nails and back at them, "Who is she?".
They gulped.
"I think my mother is calling me I can hear her voice all the way here". Omar said running away before she can stop him
She looks at Omar figure disappearing then she turns to her husband raising her eyebrows, "So?".
"Y-You need a shower or you will get sick". He said holding her hand dragging her to their room, "Go on".
"If you think I will let this go". She said taking steps near him leaning towards his ear and she feels his body shudder, "You are wrong".
She changes into his hoodie not wanting to wear her own clothes that are too strict and formal. Since the staff is sent away she has no need to be cautious of walking freely and this is the first time she actually felt it- to be free.
She allows her wet hair to fall down on her shoulders as she straightens his hoodie walking down the stairs jumping from foot to foot as she sings some lines from a song. She dances around getting down from the stairs and her breathing hitched when she came face to face with him on the last stair.
She cannot have enough of him. It was always his eyes which held storm and calmness at the same time. It was never his words of promises but his eyes that held those promises. She has seen people with many words and not a single word ever reflected in their eyes.
His words and desires match his eyes.
"Aren't you hungry?". She asked and her voice came out hoarsely
"I am but for something else". He said matching her voice but a little deeper, "Are you hungry?".
She smirks, "The same hunger as you".
"You promised me two months ago". He said leaning closer to her, "Aj mai ap ka kia woh waada wasool karo ga".
(Today I will procure that promise)
"Shoak se". She said grinning (As you wish)
Then his lips connected with her in pure hunger. The hunger which they craved for months of living together. The hunger that only they knew and they can fill each other for.
That's the night they become one.
The next morning he opens his eyes holding her in his arms and she usually crawls to his side but sometimes she will go to the other end and he will always bring her back to him.
He smiles caressing her cheeks that were flush and he looks at the time and it was already 11 AM. He had cancelled all his schedule to spend today with his wife and cherish her more and more to tell her how happy she made him.
However, his wife had other plan and she was damn busy to spare him a minute. All she asked him to do was sit ideally in the room while she was running around changing and talking to someone.
He has no idea about what.
So, he did what she asked from him while she left she asked him to come to study with his parents in approximately five minutes. His parents were here and he starts to take steps towards the study but stop when he heard the words from the inside.
"I know what you did". She said leaning against the table looking at Alina
"What are you talking about?". She screamed
She closes her eyes and ear with her finger, "I hate when you scream like that".
"Why are you here?. I thought Adam called me here". Alina said angrily
She smirks, "Do you know why he called you?". Alina shakes her head and Izra speaks, "Because he came to know your truth. He came to know that you were the one who poisons the sweets that night".
Alina's face drains colours and her eyes widen, "Do you know you are accusing me?. You will be-".
She waves her hand to end her words, "Don't give me that lecture. I hate lectures. However, I told you I will have him do internal investigations and he did. He found the person who delivered sweets then the one who made it and soon he reached the place where the poison was bought from and he has all the people who have proof against you".
"Y-You are lying". Alina said
She takes steps towards her as she speaks, "Am I?. He came to know that the threats of the throne that he received and the one who forced him to think about marriage as you. Because you wanted to desperately be his Queen you started being friendly and going behind him to his official. You sent those messages and threats to him. What are you going to do now?".
"You are lying. You are lying". Alina mumble then she screamed, "No one can ever know I poisoned you. I killed everyone who was involved in it. There is no way anyone can know about threats because I never directly sent them. I-".
The doors open with the police, Adam and his parents entering inside the room.
She smirks leaning closer to Alina, "With your shouting, I hated something more than that". She laughs, "Your eyes on my husband".
"Take her in custody". Adam ordered walking to his wife pulling her away from Alina before she hurts her, "I hate you, Alina".
I hate you, Izra.
"Don't hate her". Izra said before she was taken away, "Don't hate her love or look down at her love for you, Adam. She was blinded by your love and what she did was wrong. Don't use those words for her".
Alina broke down as she was taken away and his parents followed closing the door behind them.
"Are you ok?". He asked softly caressing her cheeks
She grins, "Perfect".
"How did you know?". He asked confused because he never suspected her
She frowns, "Know what?".
"About her". He asked again
She shrugged, "Who said I know something?".
His eyes widen as he gasps looking at her, "You lied?".
"Of course. If the King with resources cannot find her truth how can I?". She laughs, "I just took a guess and it works".
"Kia karuin ga mai ap ka?". He asked wrapping his arms around her (what will I do with you)
"Mohabbat kar lein poori zindagi, kaafi ho ga". She said smiling (Love me your whole life, that will be enough)
"Chalo waada raha". He said smiling kissing her forehead (ok, I promise)
She giggles as he takes her to breakfast because she has skipped in all her work. He sits down placing her food in front of her and she starts to eat while he simply observes her.
"Why aren't you eating?". She asked adorably
"Watching you eating is enough for me". He said taking a tissue as he turns it into a beautiful rose
She gasps holding it looking at it gleefully, "How did you do that?. This is so beautiful".
"Remember I told you that you are a very complicated woman?". He asked chuckling
She nodded.
"You are my complicated woman, my lady". He said smiling placing a strand of her hair away
She smiles a little too sweetly which scares him off immediately, "How do you feel about sleeping peacefully out of your room all by yourself?".
"I-I did something wrong?". He asked gulping
She blinks her eyes with a smile, "Who do my brother likes?".
"T-That-". He stutters then he closes his eyes as he speaks rapidly, "He likes a girl who is a designer and he did his stupid talking with her and she ran away".
She pats his shoulder, "That's like a good man. Now, her name?. Address?".
"Meera Ayub- she is 21 and a new designer in the field and she lives in the Southeast hotel". He replied
"We should help my brother to marry so he can stay busy in his life to stop coming here". She said smiling
"He will still come here with his wife. Maybe even start living here". He argued, "Please, don't tell him I told you".
"What are you talking about?". Omar asked as he enters inside, "I came to celebrate my sister victory. You are amazing".
Adam groaned, "I think I will agree with you. Let's do it".
"Do what?". Omar asked confused
"Your marriage". She said as Omar fainted, "Is he ok?".
"Sadmay mai hai, bechara". He replied (He is in shock, poor guy)
She knows she is going to live a happy life with these two men in her life. And even when life gets hard she can lean on them and they will make everything right.
Love is a very dangerous thing to a human being.
A mother loves can blind a child to look at the truth. A love for things can make one blind of their greed. A love of husband can make you forget all his wrong. And not having any love can make you snatch it from everyone else.
She learns through her life to not beg for anyone love because the moment you do that- you start to lose yourself every single day. She never asked for his love he gave it to her and so she will give her all to him for the sake of a better future.
His mother apologises to her and she didn't hold anything against her. Whatever she wanted to do she never achieved it so what's the need for unnecessary drama in life.
He knows as he watches her standing in the terrace and the air blowing away her beautiful hair everywhere that this woman was meant for him. Even if Omar was the one who found her and the start was rather bumping he had apologies for his actions when he realizes his love for her.
Immediate apologies are better than overthinking because when you think a scenario multiple time you complicate it for yourself. He trusted his love to reach to her heart and the night they become one he knows she has accepted his love and to be able to receive her love in return was an utter blessing that he promises himself to always cherish.
He doesn't need to know her past because whatever it was had went away. She was this wonderful person today because of that cursed past. He doesn't want to open her wounds and allow her to bleed unless she wishes to then he will stay by her side. But she had made her pain, her strength. Her guilt, her armour. Now, she knows the steps she needs to take in future.
He wraps his arms around her waist placing his chin on her shoulder, "Ap ko pata hai mai ap se kitni mohabbat karta huin?".
(Do you know how much I love you)
"Kitni?". She asked smiling (how much)
"Bohat zayada". He replied smiling genuinely (a lot)
She turns around in his arms smiling, "Ap ko pata hai mai ap se kitni mohabbat karti huin?".
(Do you know how much I love you)
"Kitni, Ishq e maan?". He asked caressing her cheeks lovingly as his eyes shone with love (How much, the love of mine)
And her eyes match that love, "Ap se zayada". (More than you)
They laughed.
This was them.
