Second Part 😉
Ishq mein tanha tanha,
sadiyon sa lamha lamha...
Tanha jiya na jaaye, iss zindigaani ko...
Tanha jiya na jaaye, iss zindigaani ko 💔
Aahil looked into her eyes. He could see anger flare up, replacing the tender expression she gave him minutes earlier. Miss Dhabewali and her famous anger! It didn't surprise him one bit but what did was his actions a few minutes earlier. He had walked into the kitchen with a plan but seeing Sanam work so hard broke his heart! The punishment he gave her was out of anger! To show her that she no longer mattered! To make her feel terrible! To make her pay for breaking his heart! But here he was the one who didnt sleep at nights! The one who couldnt forgive himself for hurting her nor forgive her for leaving him! The one had lost all sense of peace and balance! He was lost! But he didn't want her to see that he still loved her! Keeping her away was the best option! But he could not send her far. She had to be close! He needed her! He just did!
Unable to control himself once she looked at him, he found himself drawn towards her. It was as if she was away from him for long! Far too long! She kept moving away yet something in her eyes invited him closer. Her luscious lips which she bit nervously, her eyes which started to dart looking away from him, the quickening of her breathing showed him how much he affected her! Did she still want him or was she just nervous thinking about how to answer his questions? He had lost himself in those eyes the second she looked up! But he couldn't fail! He couldn't become weak! He still needed his answers! He moved away and as per the plan he said his lines.
"Right! Acha hua ke tum tumhari aukaad nahi bhooli. Mujhe ice chahiye poolside par. Lekar aao phir jaha jaana hai jao!" With that he left not giving her a chance to explain! Saying those words to her felt awful! She was the Begum of the house, of his heart! The one he wanted to spend his entire life with! Every single moment! She had made him feel loved! She made him feel special! She had brought out the Aahil he had never known existed! But now it was all gone! Those words tasted like poison as they came out of his mouth! But he couldn't back out of his plan!
As Aahil sat waiting anxiously by the poolside, he remembered the words spoken by her a few months ago, at this very place. "Main aapki biwi hoon Aahil. Mere liye. Aap sharab peena chod nahi sakhte."
He tried to ignore the guilt gnawing at him. He needed to do this. He needed to push for answers. It was as if everyone and destiny itself was playing games with him. It was time for him to play one as well. Aahil felt his hands shake as he reached for a bottle from the set up he created. He had taken out a few bottles from the guest stock. Ever since he promised her, Aahil refused to touch alcohol. Except for that one time. Aahil shut his eyes as the memories came flooding back. How excited was he to go see his bride, his Sanam! Only to find... He couldnt even explain the feeling. Aahil had felt suffocated! He had wanted to scream as he heard his Ammi's voice taunting him about Sanam's betrayal! What he saw was an unknown face beneath the veil, who he was suppose to accept?!! While the one whom he loved ran away?!! He was devastated at that point not knowing where to go, not knowing what to do! He had drank to stop the pain. But he realized that nothing could reduce the pain she gave him! Not even drinking! There was no solution to this pain other than the truth! Thats what he wanted! The entire truth! Her truth!
Aahil opened his eyes as he heard footsteps approach close to where he sat. He swallowed hard steadying his heartbeats and tried to rid his face and voice of any emotion as he spoke.
"Finally. It takes this long to bring ice! You were much faster before Sanam! Kaha khoyi hui thi tum?" Aahil knew he didnt sound as confident and bitter as he wanted to but he was hoping that Sanam would not catch it.
He was lucky. The shock on her face at seeing a bottle in one hand hand and a glass in the other told him that she believed him! So he continued. "Jaldi ice dalo glass mein. I cant wait all day for u!"
"Aahil! Aap phir se! Yeh sab! Aap ne waada kiya tha!"
Aahil winced inwardly at the pain that was evident in her voice. He looked up at her to see despair and disappointment in her beautiful doe eyes which always captivated and held him in place. He didnt like seeing anything but love and maybe a little anger in them. He loved her strength and determination! But she looked plain hurt as she looked at him. He wanted to ditch any plan and just pull her into his arms. He wanted to erase all the pain from her face, her heart, her soul! He wanted to talk to her! Tell her how much it hurt him! Ask her to make it all go away! Ask her if they could restart again! He wanted to fix everything! Make things even better than before! He wanted to lose himself in her arms! Feel her close and hold her for good! Forever! But he couldnt. He couldnt.
"Jab tum sab waade bhool kar, aapni, no sorry humari nikah ke din bhaag sakhti ho toh main sirf ek waada nahin todh sakhta?!!"
He took the glass and poured halfway. Then he held it out to her. She just looked at the glass and Aahil could see tears starting to form in her eyes. No! He thought. Not her tears! He looked away at the pool.
"Sanam hurry up I don't have all day!" He tried to shout but his voice sounded hoarse. He heard a small gasp, almost sounding like a sob escape her. He didn't want this! He really didn't! Aahil tried to ignore the growing lump in his throat.
"Sanam!" He was about to continue when suddenly something stopped him. He looked at her shocked as she started to silently place the ice cubes in his glass. She didn't try to stop him yet the pain in her eyes was killing him. Still he proceeded! He drank the first glass and started to fill more. She stood silently. The seconds felt like minutes and the minutes felt like hours. Aahil clasped the glass as tightly as he could, her silence was becoming unbearable for him. He tossed the glass into the pool with all his might and began to drink striaght from the bottle. The liquid burned his throat but breaking her promise burned his heart. He felt himself losing control over his emotions as he looked up at her.
"Sanam dont make me do this. Just tell me! Tell me why! Why did you run away like that!" There he said it! He finally asked her. Aahil saw tears brimming in her eyes.
"Aahil! Aapko mujhpe zara sa bhi bhadosa nahi hai! Aapne ek bar bhi socha hai ke kyun main aapne nikah ke roz maujood nahi thi! Aapko lagta hai ke main bhag gayi thi?!! Bina soche hi aapne itna bara ilzaam de diya! Aap yeh kaise kar sakhte hai!" She shook her head as a bitter expression clouded over her face. "Mujhe aap pe bahut yakeen tha Aahil! Hamare pyaar pe bahut yakeen tha! Lekin aap-"
"Main kya Sanam! Tum mujhe bataoo ke mera galti kya hai! Mujhe bhi janna hai ke kyun mere itne baar poochne par tumne har bhar haan kaha aur uske baad bhi tumne mujhe dhoka diya! Yeh kaisa badla hai? Kis cheez ke liye? Maine toh har ek galti ke liye mafi manga tha. Har ek galti ke liye. Main chahta tha ke sab kuch perfect ho! Uss din bhi maine tumhe poocha tha! Aur sab theek tha! Tumne khushi khushi haan kaha tha! Lekin phir bhi! Sanam bataao ke mera galti kya hai! Haan maine tumhare saath pehle bahut galat kiya lekin maine maafi bhi maangi! Tumne party mein Ammi ko dhaka diya aur maine tumhe daata uski liye bhi main sharminda tha! Tum mujhse door rehna chahte thi aur maine tumhe space diya! Tum har raat! Haar ek raat doosre kamre mein rehna chahti thi aur maine maana nahi kiya! Toh phir! Kya tha mera galti?" Aahil felt his temper rise. He needed answers!
He took another bottle. "Sanam mera kasoor yahi hai ke maine tumse nahi poocha na bhadosa kiya! Chalo aab poochta hoon! Kya hai tumhara jawab? Ya yeh kahoon ke tumhara bahana! Maine tum par bahut bhadosa kiya Sanam! Tumhe woh sab kaha jo maine kisi ko bhi nahi kaha! Tumhare saath sab kuch share kiya! Aapni zindagi ka har ek dard, har ek raaz maine tumhe bataya! Kuch bhi nahi chupaya tumse! Main tumhare samne sab kuch rakh diya tha! Main tumse py--" Aahil stopped. He couldnt keep the hurt out of his voice nor could he voice those words again. The words that made him vulnerable and weak! The words that gave her a chance to play with his feelings! The words that let her know she had won! But she had! He had given her his heart and in returned she rejected him!
Aahil got up and met her eyes. "Sanam agar aaj tumne jawab nahi diya na toh main waada karta hoon, aur yeh waada main nahin todunga, you better believe it! Agar tumne jawab nahin diya toh mein har roz sharab piyunga! Woh bhi tumhare samne aur tum mujhe rokh bhi nahi sakhti!"
"Aahil waise bhi aapne mujhse woh haq cheen liya hai! Main toh sirf ek mulazim hoon. Ek naukar! Toh main kaise aapko rokh sakhti hoon. Aur aap abhi kuch sunne ki halat main nahi hai! Hum subah baat karte hai!" Sanam said firmly!
Sanam was shocked at what she heard! But there was nothing she could do or say. She could not tell him that the one who pushed Tanveer was not her! The one who said yes and ran away was not her! The one who was there with him that day was not her! Sanam fisted her hand around her dupatta. She had to be strong! She couldnt let him have the last word in everything! She had to make him understand without telling him everything! But that was hard! Sanam realized how much Aahil affected her! She could not bare to see his pain nor his hurtful eyes! But still she could not let his love make her weak! After everything she had gone through, she expected him to wait for her, to have faith in her and to trust her! But he didn't! While she couldnt blame him for that, she couldn't take his behavior silently. Sanam knew Aahil was not drinking because of the same reasons as before, she could read him well enough to know that he wanted to torture her and himself! He wanted answers! She knew that he was hurt! But she had to be strong to pull him away from that evil Tanveer's clutches! It would hurt Aahil a lot but it was necessary! But for that she could not give him any answers at the moment! Sanam had to keep her sister a secret to defeat Tanveer! For what she had done to her family, to Aahil, to her own son Rehan! Sanam needed to be strong! One wrong step and she could lose everything!
Sanam looked at the man before her! There was a time she hated him! But now... he mattered to her more than she could have ever imagined! Yet until he trusts her and she is able to tell him the truth, their relationship will not be strong! No doubt he loves her, no matter how much he denies it and she loves him! He just has to see the truth! But she could see that he looked broken and tired! He wanted answers that she could not provide!
As hurt as she was, she could not entirely expect him to believe her over his Ammi so quickly! This was going to be tough! Her Badi Ammi had warned her and now Sanam herself has seen the effects! Tanveer had manipluated a small child and even as a grown man, he is unable to detach himself from her. But soon that will change! Sanam had faith in her Allah above all.
Sanam turned around to leave when she felt a hand around her wrist. "I want an answer Sanam!"
She turned around. "Aahil aap so jaiye. Aap hosh main nahin." She saw that the second bottle in his hand was now half empty. She knew he didnt mean to drink so much. But now that he had, he was no longer in control of himself nor his emotions. She pried her hand away and was about to leave when she found herself pinned against the pillar.
"Aahil! Yeh aap kya---"
"Please Sanam! Sach sach bataoo. Mera galti kya hai?" Sanam's heart sunk as she saw the desperation in his eyes. She tried to look away and loosen out of his grip. But he kept on staring at her. She felt his gaze burn her and he moved closer and lowered his head on her shoulder. He stood silently resting his forehead and eyes on her shoulder but then finally gave up. She heard him sigh as she felt his grip loosen until he had let go of her fully. Sanam looked up surprised. She saw Aahil stagger backwards.
"Sab jhooth! Tumhare pass koi jawab nahin! Toh phir tum wapas kyun aayi! Yeh dekhne ke liye ke tumne mujhe kitna dard diya. Ke main kitna roya hoon tumhare liye! Ya tum mujhpe hasne ke liye aayi ho!" Sanam saw the tears stream down his cheeks as he chuckled bitterly.
Sanam looked at him shocked. "Aahil aap yeh soch bhi kaise sakhte hai!"
He laughed softly. "Toh phir kya sochoon? Kya wajah hai yahan wapas aane ki Sanam Raza Ibrahim?!!"
The way he said her name made her shiver. "Kya main tumhe yeh bulah sakhta hoon ya iss naam se bhi mukhti chahiye tumhe! Ha shayad tum iss liye aayi ho na! Tumhe iss rishte se mukhti chahiye! Mujhse mukhti chahiye! Haina Sanam?!!" Aahil kept on staggering on his feet as he tiled his head looking her. He kept on repeating himself trying to rile her.
But Sanam kept her emotions in check. He is just drunk! She reminded herself. Unhe hosh hi nahi aur ye bhi patah nahi ke woh kya keh rahe hai.
"Aahil chaliye main aapko kamre tak chod deti hoon. Aap toh chal bhi nahi sakhte."
He grinned at her like a child, clearly lost and drunk. His anger had disappeared for the moment.
"Main nahi chal sakhta?!!"
He narrowed his eyes. "Main Aahil Raza Ibrahim hoon ok! Mujhe tumhari madat nahi chahiye. Main tumhare bina hi theek hoon."
With that he took two steps towards his room and started to tumble forward until Sanam steadied him.
"Main theek hoon. Let go of me." Sanam had forgotten how stubborn he was. She shook her head and led him to the bedroom as he began to babble randomly, taunting her and telling her to leave.
Aahil had managed to stumble into the room with Sanam's help.
"Mujhe nahi sona hai. Let me go Sanam." Sanam shook her head stubbornly.
"Nahi aap ne bahut piya hai. You have to sleep!" He sat on the bed and looked at her. Sanam lips almost curved up seeing his adorable pouty face. He looked around confused. Then he finally looked at the floor and sighed. It made Sanam's heart clench. She wanted to caress his face and hug him. She wanted to sleep in his arms. She wanted to feel him close to her. But that day was still far away. Sanam reached out and lightly touched his face.
"Please Aahil! Zid maat kijiye."
Aahil blinked and nodded his head giving in. He looked tired and lost. After some more coaxing, she was finally able to help him get into bed annd pulled the covers over him. Sanam was about to turn off the lights and leave when she felt a tug on her dupatta. She turned back.
Aahil had his fingers firmly aroud the end of her dupatta and refused to let go. It reminded of her that one morning when he had wrapped her dupatta around himself and how hard she tried to get it away from him. Things had changed so much since then! She sighed, "Please Aahil chodiye. Mujhe jaana chahiye!"
"Nahi main tumhe jaane nahi dunga Sanam. Dont go please." Sanam took another deep breath as she saw the tears in his eyes.
"Sanam koi nahi samajhta. Koi nahi! Main bahut bura insaan hoon na. Ammi ne mujhe ek baar bhi Rehan ke baare mein nahi bataya aur tum bhi bina batayi chali gayi. Kisiko mujhpe bhadosa nahin hai! Abhi bhi tum saach nahi bol rahi hoon. Kyun?" He blinked back tears and started to repeat himself again. Sanam was about to tell him to sleep when he continued.
'Tumhe kya lagta tha? Sanam tum... Ek baar bol deti toh main tumhe jaane deta. Tumhe nahin rokta! Tumhare khushi... Sanam main kaise? Kya sachme tumhe lagta hai... Ha main toh bhool hi gaya tha... Tum mujhe kya bulati thi... Ja... Jallad Jin! Kya sachme main jallad hoon?! Kya main itna bura hoon! Kya tum mujhse py-- nahi karti?!!" he choked out the last few words.
Sanam felt her own tears stream down her cheeks. She knew this was the affect of alcohol on him. But she also knew this was something that was already in his heart. As Sanam saw him look at her with a pained expression, she was torn. Sanam didn't know how to tell him that his Ammi has turned so many lies into truth and has told him the biggest life changing lie. She had no idea how to tell him that she never wanted to leave him but fate played a strange game with her. She didn't know how to tell him that he was no jallad! And even if he was, she loved this Jallad Jin to death!
Sanam wiped her face and moved near him. "Aahil please aap so jaiye. Main yaha hoon. Hum iss sabke ke baare mein kal baat karenge."
Sanam had no idea how true this was. If they would get to talk or not? What she would say and if he would listen. But she knew she could not give up. She was wrong to lose hope! She could not leave him! She had to fight! He still loved her and even if all the doors appear closed, Allah will open one for sure! The truth, the good, the pure will win! Somehow unknowingly Aahil had rekindled her hopes and reinforced the strength she already had inside of her to fight Tanveer! To save an innocent boy whose only crime was loving his mother! To avenge a couple who loved each other more than anything else! To seek justice for every wrong Tanveer has done! Sanam went and sat on the bed. She wiped Aahil tears and started to caress his forehead. Sanam waited until Aahil fell asleep but by then she had made up her mind. She was no longer going to cry! She was not going to let anything stop her! Tanveer needed to start counting her days! Because now she will face Sanam Raza Ibrahim, daughter of Asad Ahmed Khan and Zoya Farooqi and wife of Aahil Raza Ibrahim! There was no stopping her now. She looked at Aahil as he innocently slept with his hands in hers. She was going to make sure the truth comes before him no matter what! As Sanam left she looked back once more. In the morning they may go back to being apart but soon they would be together, for good! She has seen the love in his eyes and now she will make sure he is able to express it as openly. She smiled for the first time in days as she prayed to Allah to keep her loved ones safe and happy all the time!
Meri justaju tu meri aarzoo,
bas tu hi tu mere chaar su...
Meri tishnagi tu meri zindagi,
tu hi khuda hai, tu hai bandagi...
Kaise jiyu tere bin, tere bin jiya jaaye na...
Tere bin jiya jaaye na 💔
