His mother is relentless, he knows that his mother is the only person who he's known all his life.
He feels her presence. He turns back to see Zoya, standing across the room, tears clouding her eyes as she tries to fight them.
All she can think about is if it is that moment that finally someone will love her. She's never been loved like she wanted to. She's always felt the need to have someone who'll be hers completely.
Alas, it remained a dream.
He looks back at his mother, feeling guilty that he's been playing with Zoya's feelings, but deep down he can't let her know how vulnerable he feels when it comes to her. Even when she can see it, the words will seal his fate forever.
He clenches his jaw and then with a cleansing breath, speaks up.
"Nahin. Muhabbat Nahin Hai..." His voice breaks as he says the words, yet he can't ignore the shocked expression on his mothers face or the eerie silence that fills the room.
She doesn't speak. She's frozen in place, wondering where she went wrong.
After all this while, here she was, still the girl who craved the love of someone who was hers completely, still the girl who'd never fulfill her only wish.
