Mumbai
Aaliya's House
Zain's POV
"Are you sure Aisha?" I shouted. Aisha Haider, stood at the window looking down at me. I knew she wouldn't tell me even if I begged her. I knew she wouldn't tell me where my soul was, where my heart was, where my Aaliya was.
"Do you honestly care Zain? Tell me now. Why should I tell you if I am sure or not? She told me that. I know nothing more. Please go, and don't follow her! Take that as a warning. You dare follow her or I'll file a police complaint. That you are stalking my sister." Aisha spatted at my face. Saying this she closed the window. I walked out of the house.
Aisha doesn't know anything, or at least that is what she says. I keep walking to the place where me and Aaliya first met, the beach, as I remember the past happenings which were crystal clear and fresh in my mind.
FLASHBACK
Zain's House
Shanaya sat in front of me at my house. I had called Aaliya up and told her to come about an hour ago. 20 minutes later, Shanaya came in and said she needed help. Everytime I try to bring her to the topic as to WHY she needs help, she comes forward to something that doesn't make sense at all.
I hear a knock. I am about to stand when Shanaya holds my hand. She starts taking off her jacket when I ask her what she's doing. She messes her hair and taking some lipstick off her lips, puts on mine by her fingers. Then she goes to the door and opens it. To my greatest shock, it is Aaliya!
"Ummm.. who are you?" Aaliya asked.
"Who I am doesn't matter. Tell me why you are here." Shanaya replied rudely. I run towards the door. Aaliya looks at me with her eyes wide in shock. I look at Shanaya then at her, then me. Oh god! WHAT IS SHE THINKING?
"Aaliya, believe me darling, it's not what it seems-" Before I could complete my sentence, she ran away. Her tears didn't remain unseen by me.
FLASHBACK ENDS
Beach
Zain's POV
What had I done? I had broken the most sweetest girl's heart. God should never had make her come into my life. Never. She must have found someone else. But those tears, I wish I never would have met her. I wouldn't have allowed Shanaya come in that day.. I- I am speechless.
"God!" I shout as I look up into the sky. Then tears start to take way into my eyes. It is late at night. I fall down to the ground and sit hugging my knees close to my chest. I cry out my pain. All the pain that had been there in me since the time Aaliya had left me. Gone far away from my life! Aisha told me that she had gone away to meet her father in USA, and she won't come back. Her flight had taken off well before I reached her house. I cry into myself again.
Sitting there, I remember all my past deeds. The happy times we had had. The days we had spent together. Aaliya and me had been together since our first day at school. She, scared, held my hand as we walked inside the school. I had always been possesive about her. I couldn't stand some dumb douchebag even coming close to her. I got complaints from their parents and principal ma'am for beating them, but certainly it did me no good.
I hide my face into my knees. After sitting there for sometime, I suddenly felt someone's presence. The person came and sat beside me. The same posture as me. And made no more movements. We were very close.
"Do you forgive me?" I heard a voice say. It took me a second to realize that it was Aaliya. Happiness sprang up inside me. But tears still making way. I raise my head to look at her. Her face was all pale and tears had dried away. She almost started to cry again as she hugged me tightly. I hug her back. Nuzzling into her hair I take in her fruity and relaxing scent. She ruffles my hair. I pull her closer.
"Why should I forgive you? What have you done? It's me who has broken your heart. I shouldn't have let Shanya inside. It's all my fault Aaliya. All my!" I said. "I am so sorry Aaliya. I am so freakin' sorry."
"No, I am sorry Zain. Zain, I love you. We have been together for such a long while. If you had no interest in me, you would have left me earlier also. But you did. You showed your love, and I showed mine. I should have believed in you. Shanaya had always been like this. She had made Aisha and Zaid break up because she liked Zaid. But then they broke up the very next day too. I am sorry Zain. I trusted her more than you. I am so so sorry Zain." She starts crying. I soothe her hair and she holds on to me as if her life depends on me.
"Do you forgive me then?" I ask her. Praying for her to say 'yes'.
"Do I have to?" She tries to add humour to her voice. I pull back and smile. I wipe away her tears from her cheeks and kiss her forehead as she closes her eyes.
"But Aisha told me that you-" Aaliya cut me off.
"I changed my plans. Dad is coming here to India. So why do I need to go there?" I smile at her reply. We hug again. "By the way, Shanaya also feels guilty you know. Nearly 5-10 minutes ago only before you came to my house. Shanaya came. She said sorry to me and Aisha. For being such a b***h. Then she told me everything. Then you came, and I told Aisha to not tell you I am here. Because I thought you would be mad at me and had come there to break my heart and our relationship."
"Oh god, Aaliya." I sigh as I hug her tightly. "I love you."
"I love you, too."
