My AsYa picture stories (updated pg 6) - Page 6

Like a strange dream, I found myself starting the rituals of marriage with Zoya. I kept reminding her (and myself) that this is temporary, just until Ammi's health improves, but it's starting to ring hollow in my own ears.

She looked lovely tonight. Blue made her look out of this world. Somehow the troublesome, noisy and annoying girl turned into this gorgeous butterfly that took my breath away. She smelt of roses. I couldn't help myself, the scent enveloped me like a spell.

She looked nervous, breathless, speechless too. As I untied the dupatta stuck to my cuff, we stood in silence, bound by the spell.

I'm a little unnerved by these new overwhelming sensations. I think it made me a little angry too.

I know I shouldn't have shouted at her about the mix-up of Tanveer's blood samples. If I had thought a little rationally, her prank wouldn't have made any sense at all. But I had trampled all over her feelings, again.

I didn't mean to Zoya... i'm sorry...

Mitwa... Ishq Pe Zor Nahin...

*cringes and hides*

OHMYGOD!!! How embarassing is this !!!!

Here I was having a gala time in my imagination... me and Mr. Khan... were dancing together so romantically. I was so happy that he had gifted me a sari... with a note.

" I saw you in a sari once,

You looked very pretty..."

I was so high in cloud nine, dancing about in my room...

And this was how he found me...

How will I ever show my face around Mr. Khan again???

Mr. Khan!! Don't you know how to knock before entering !??'

He cleared his throat and said,' I did. But you were in some dream world..." with a smirk. Damn...!

I started blabbering about some new exercise regime I was practising, but he didn't look convinced. My face must've been flushed like a neon light!!

Then his next words brought me crashing back from the clouds..

'I think we should cancel Jashn-Bahaar, Ammi seems better. I think we should tell her the truth and call it all off.'

...

Mitwa... Ishq Pe Zor Nahin...

I can't believe she cut up the sari I gave her and made a kurti out of it ! After all the trouble I went through to get it! And she wore jeans too !! Unbelievable ...

She only saved her face because she had Ammi's support. Modern girl apparently...

Already I was feeling cross, then I had to sit and put flowers on her ?!

She had the nerve to say I was lucky to be sitting next to an angel.

"Pari jaise chehra, shaitaan jaise dimaag..."

So you DO agree that I look like an angel ...?

"Yes..."

Mitwa... Ishq Pe Zor Nahin...

I know these rasams are temporary. Mr. Khan chorus ki tara baar baar repeat karoon ...

But Tanveer's clingy behaviour irks me. The way she launches herself into Mr. Khan's arms and he just holds her back. Idiot !

She annoys me...

I don't know why, but everything about her seems fake. Pretentious. But she is Mr. Khan's Tannu , his bachpanse achi dost. Who could fight against that!?

Now he's holding her so tight, like she's an invalid or something.

I could scratch both their eyes out ! *growl*

Mitwa... Ishq Pe Zor Nahin...

She's jealous !!!

I'm not sure why the thought of her being jealous about me and Tanveer makes me feel like smiling. Although Tanveer and I are just friends, the sentiment is quite cute, coming from her.

Somehow I don't feel like doing things that makes her feel jealous anymore. Though dancing with namooni Vasudev Sockalingam Singham is NOT one of the things I would do, EVER.

Smells a lot like ... loyalty...

Mitwa... Ishq Pe Zor Nahin...

Will you dance with the dance master, or should I call Tanveer, Mr. Khan? As it is, you can't do anything without Tannu' isn't it ??

She's my friend , Ms. Farooqui...

Oh really ??? I also have many friends Mr. Khan. But they don't stick like glue on me like she does...?

Jealous, Ms. Farooqui ?

Jealous, my foot !!!

Boy she looks cute when she's jealous...

Mitwa... Ishq Pe Zor Nahin...

'Bhaijaan, Humeira and I are getting married for real, but I don't have any feelings or love for her...'

"And here I'm pretending to get married, but my feelings..."

Mitwa... Ishq Pe Zor Nahin...
