Chapter 1
Khirad stood beside the window...
She was counting stars...
She had this habit...and she was never tired of doing so...
She herself didn't make out the reason of d immense pleasure she got in it...she always had a faint smile on her face while counting stars...
As if...each star she counted gave her a feeling that she just crossed her ammi...
Ammi...
She still shivered on remembering how cold her ammi turned...suddenly...and stopped breathing...forever...
Ophh! She choked...again...
Her ammi had never kept any stone unturned to give her everything she deserved...
But her last wish...
Khirad felt...her ammi had finally played a cruel game...before leaving...by throwing her into the life of someone...she was in utter darkness about...
But...
But...
Now...
She knew...her ammi had known her...and the world around...much much better than her...
A wider smile crossed her face...
'' Khirad...''...
Her chain of thoughts broke...
She turned... And her eyes widened...
'' Ashar... Aap!!!! Itni jaldi...???? Tabiyat thik to hai na aapki?''...she almost ran towards her shouhar...
He...had a lovely smirk on his face...
'' Kya bataun khirad... Tabiyat itni kharaab hai ki abhi abhi hospital se do bottle saline chadhakar aaya hoon...''...he was still standing...with both his hands folded behind...and an amazing smile on his face...
'' Kya????? Dekhiye...aap mujhe daraaiye mat ashar!!!''... Khirad's eyes were still wide apart...and one of her brows high up...
'' Accha? Tum sach me dar gayi khirad???? Chalo...thoda aur daraate hain tumhe...''...
With this... Ashar started moving closer to her...step by step...
And before she cud react...she felt an immense pull...and she almost fell upon him...
They were so close...she cud feel his warm breath upon her face...
'' Ashar...''...she didn't kno when...she had closed her eyes...
'' Ab zyaada dar lag raha hai?...''...she cud hear a whisper...
'' aankhen kholo khirad!''...
She slowly opened her eyes...
And before her...she cud see a big bunch of red rose...and behind them...her shouhar...still with that aching smile...
'' ye...''... Khirad was caught in a smile too...
'' Saalgira Mubarak ho!!!! Mujhe laga... In laal gulaabon se badhkar aur kucch aisa nhi hai jo tumse ye bayan kar saken...ki tum payda hokar...mujh par kitna bada ehsaan kiya hai...''...
Khirad...could not speak...
