Asad's POV

Abu left years back leaving us alone. I shunned the normalcy in my life to become the man of the house. Barricaded my heart to let no one in so as to prevent from any further pain... so as to not let anyone so close in that would give them a chance to hurt me. Ammi and Najma were my responsibilities and the reason for my survival. And I was not willing to change that.

But then you came by. You were everything I wanted to run away from. You were the sunshine I had shut my windows on... you were the fragrance reminding me of the flowers I had turned indifferent to... You were the music tugging at the strings of my soul I refused to divulge in... you were the sweetness that I had shunned for bitterness... You made me feel alive when for years I had felt like a dead man inside. You mere presence scared me... baffled me... irritated me... overwhelmed me. You made me happy and taught me to smile... you taught me to live and you taught me to love. And even though I denied it all, you drilled a hole through my outer pretences to touch me so deep that by the time I realized what has happened, I was a changed man.

And then you promised to never leave me... you promised to be by my side... always. but alas... that was not to be. You too chose to let me go. When Ammi chose to leave me it broke my heart. She had been my support for years and at once I felt my foundations slip. I felt suffocated in the house she had so painstakingly built. I wanted to leave and though I felt abandoned, there was still a ray of hope and it was YOU! But that fell apart too... my world crumbled, shattering me in process when you chose Ammi and that man I abhor over me. You gave up on me, refused to leave with me for them. And it hurt like none other. You call me a stone but look closely, there are no walls around me anymore... its only rumbles of my shattered world. I stay buried in the debris too pained to rise!

Ok just scribbled what I thought of what must be going in Asad's head when he refused her... I am not advocating anyone and I throughly believe that both are right as well as wrong... apart from one contention of Zoya's wrong choice of words I don't think what she did was wrong. If I can manage will scribble Zoya's POV too... Till then lemme know what you think about this 😳

Again. Brilliantly written.

Thanks 😊 Zoya is impulsive and always tries too hard to make amends. Result, she ends up making one or the other mistake. Aren't we all like that at times... in desperation we do exactly what we knew we were not supposed to. This does't make her any less accountable but thats how she is. However, her love of Asad can never be questioned.

😆😆

Thanks... I think QH ne sabke dimag ka mess karke rakha hua hai😆

Prob is he is more upset wid his mom than Zoya, he spent every second ov his lyf trying 2 repair the damage his father had done, pushing himself hard 2 take revenge nd make his mom's lyf a paradise on earth, striving 2 keep his torn family 2gether nd struggling 2 keep himself 2gether after his childhood got shattered due to his father 🤢🤢 poor Asad had only one reason 2 live nd dt wz his mother...when she left him Zoya wz d only person in whom he cud find solace but she dumped him too😭😭 I expected more emotional trauma 4m his side instead ov just saying dt ok m gonna stay just ciuz he heard his mum crying over the fone 😡😡 I hope he takes the burning revenge he has in his heart for his father, Rashid Ahmad Khan deserves 2 go through all the burning through which Asad went through, he deserves every bit of it, saying sorry just dxnt make up 4 ur past mistakes, sry just cant heal the pain ur actions hav inflicted on sm1's mind nd heart nd poor asad was only a kid at d tym his father ditched them 😭😭
