That night.
He swore he'd embarrass her, crumble that insufferable ego of hers.
But once upon a time, it was that very pride of hers he'd do anything to protect.
No.
He chided his nostalgia. It meant nothing anymore.
But then why did he feel sick at the thought of watching her cry in the quiet corner of her office? Why then, deep down, did he not want to share her most vulnerable moments with the world? Why did he feel a sense of possessiveness over those memories?
Calling out his name.
Rang the, noor tha, jab kareeb tu tha.
Ek jannat sa tha, yeh jahaan.
Goddamnit. Why? WHY?
Even when he tries to hurt her, HE is the one who gets injured the most.
He admit defeat bringing himself down to his knees. As he flipped to the hidden picture of her in his portfolio.
He hated himself for keeping it, but he knew he couldn't do without it. Even after all she did.
Because it was his air. She was his air.
likh ke chod kaya, tu kahan?
He caressed the photograph with failed contempt and aching nostalgia. Trying to figure out how he could bring himself to hate someone he once most ardently loved?
Hamari, Adhuri Kahani...

Alright guys hopefully you like the idea!
It's like 3 am but I couldn't sleep without penning this down and making that banner (I'm so in love with it, lol). This is a three-shot FF (aka three parts).
Just so y'all aren't lost--if all goes per plan, Part 1 should be up tomorrow, Part 2 by Friday, and Part 3 (the final part) by Saturday/Sunday.
Let me know what you think!
(Also let me know if you want PMs for the updates!)
Thanks,
Kriti
