Dil roye aa elaahi tu aaja mere maahi! ❤️
Aahil began pacing in his cabin as he took occassional glances at his watch. Every second seemed like ages. But he was glad, for it was buying him time to gather his nervous thoughts and keep a rein on his strong emotions before she got here. Aahil knew he had to do this, as bad as it sounded, this was necessary. His intentions were noble, no less, he just had to take this riskier path. Though he had to admit, it was a path he would enjoy. For it would bring her before him without anyone else present to disturb them. Only Aahil knew how much his eyes sought her, every minute, everywhere! He needed her. He just did! When Aahil had asked Rehan to bring Sanam to his office, he knew there was no backing away. It was time for action. Aahil did however, notice the disappointment in Rehan's voice when he mentioned why he wanted Sanam in his office. But little did Rehan know that Aahil had other plans. Nor did he want anyone to know! Not even Sanam herself! Aahil jumped slightly and suddenly felt his throat go dry as he heard a knock on his door.
His looked up and his eyes finally met those that had bewitched him and commanded his day and night! Those eyes that thoroughly enchanted him! Those eyes that once held so much love for him! But right now, he could only see a mix of disappoitment and confusion. Once Sanam walked into the cabin, Rehan looked at Aahil and Sanam quietly before shaking his head and heading back towards the door. Aahil was so captivated by Sanam's presence that he hardly noticed Rehan leaving. The door shut with a thud yet the two people inside didnt even bat an eyelid.
The room was simmering with awkward silence and maybe something more. Awareness crept throughout Aahil's body. This was the same room where, many nights ago, Aahil had locked out Sanam in the balcony, only to have her soaking wet in rain. She had fainted in his arms leaving him with no choice but to hold her warm, slightly feverish body all night. But it was not a terrible feeling at all! She had slept with her head on his shoulder making him feel the strangest emotion that he could not acknowledge then. It was as if a simple touch from her sent electric jolts throughout his body and affected him, not only physically but emotionally as well. The man who had shared various levels of intimacy with so many different women was so affected by the slightest touch from this fiery beauty who despised him. Maybe it was the anger that radiated from her eyes or the determination in her stance that had attracted him so much! Not to mention her strength and natural beauty. At that time he tried to hate her. But soon he realized it was impossible. They were bonded by a strange force where neither could fight their feelings nor prevent themselves from falling in love!
But here they were today, standing in the same place. Everything had changed! The anger in her eyes was now replaced by despair which broke his heart. Instead of hating her, he was devastatingly in love with her. He wanted to make her happy! He had no idea how to make things better. He felt totally lost. So Aahil did what he knew he was best at doing.
"Get me some coffee," he ordered as she looked him in the eye momentarily before walking off. He let out a breath he had no idea he was even holding. This was getting harder every minute.
Sanam took a deep breath as soon as she heard the door close behind her. When Rehan had run up to her in a hurried manner, for one moment she had feared the worst. Her heart was hammering in her chest. But once she saw that instead of fear, there was hesitation in his eyes, she guessed what he wanted to say.
"Sanam woh Aahil bhai..."Rehan had trailed off with slight apprehension in his eyes.
"What is it Rehan?!! Aahil kya?" Sanam had to admit, up until this point she was scared.
Rehan then looked at Seher briefly before looking back at her. "Aahil bhai ne tumhe office bulaya hai."
Sanam easily sensed his discomfort. So now Jallad Jin was using his poor brother to pass messages, she thought. She bit back a smile as Rehan casted his hands arounds searching for the right words to use. Deciding to end his discomfort she had said,
"Woh raat tak kaam karenge aur unhe coffee chahiye. Well I am honored that Nawab Aahil Raza Ibrahim chose me over Latif. I am guessing he rather spent the night in his office in my presence, rather than Latif's. Poor Latif will be so disappointed!"
Sanam amused as Seher burst into a fit of laughter. Rehan looked from one twin to another as if they had three heads each.
"Its ok Rehan. Apne bhai se kehdo. I will be there. After all he does seem to suspect that I will run away." She huffed as some of her anger returned upon repeating his words from her mouth.
Sanam knew Aahil had said that because he was hurt but still those words had angered her a lot. She was letting many things pass, just because he was unaware of it all. She knew he would feel terrible and repent if he knew the teuth. While she didn't want him to suffer, she definitely wanted him to make it up to her. And there were many different unique ways to do that. Sanam smirked inwardly at her own devilish thoughts. She suddenly broke out of her reverie to see her sister's eyes twinkle naughtily.
"So you will be spending the entire night there right?" Sanam narrowed her eyes and shook her head at her twin.
"I am sure he will make me sit on that uncomfortable sofa all night and serve him coffee every few minutes! So dont get too excited. Ab woh hosh main jo hai."
Seher chuckled as Rehan gave Sanam a look of utter confusion.
"Um I still dont get it."
"You dont Rehan. Apne itne bhole hai?" Seher teased and Sanam caught Rehan blushing.
Interesting. Very interesting! Sanam thought.
"Anyway if you two are done joking, can we proceed? Sanam let me drop you. Aahil bhai has instructed me to drop you myself."
"Well I guess we cant refuse "His Grace", now can we?" Sanam mocked in good humor and Seher rolled her eyes. Rehan just chuckled and went to start the car.
"Dont be too naughty Sanam." Seher whispered in her ear as she looked left and right and then sneaked into the house. Sanam felt her cheeks burn. This girl said the most atrocious things! She could not believe that was her twin! How were they suppose to get naughty in his office? Sanam felt her heart leap. She admonished herself as a sudden thought crossed her mind. Ya Allah what was wrong with her! They were definitely twins! Sanam shook her head. She could not let Aahil get the upper hand. That way he would not only scatter her thoughts and make her emotional but also manage to get the so called answers she knew he was seeking since the night before. Knowing Aahil, he would have something up his sleeve. From what she witnessed last night and knew from prior experience, Aahil Raza Ibrahim had very interesting ways of getting what he wants. Including the truth! As much as she was dying to let him know everything, revealing her twin could be fatal to their plans. There was no way she could let that witch defeat them! Absolutely not!
Sanam snapped back to present and hurried to get coffee. She knew that the anger her Jallad Jin showed was no longer the same that he used to show before. The first time around they were truly adversaries but this time, they were two lovers trying to fight for their love. But still she rather not face his royal ghussa, for this time she was afraid she would start laughing. He looked absolutely adorable trying to put up an act of anger! It was too cute! Sanam chuckled. Who would have thought she would be so devastatingly in love with her Jallad Jin!
As Aahil finished his pending work, he saw Sanam take a seat on the couch by his desk, where she had once sat so long ago. Aahil could never forget that night. The first time he held her so close to him. The way she had slept peacefully in his arms, drawing him into his most peaceful sleep. He never thought simply holding a woman in his arms while sitting on the awkward couch of his cabin would give him such a blissful night of sleep. He didnt know how he fell asleep but the comfort of having her in his arms was unexplainable.
Aahil had felt as if he had never held a woman before. He was almost scared. Scared that he would hurt her. Or that she would wake up. Softly and gently he had lowered her onto the sofa. Thoroughly consumed with guilt, he took off his coat to cover his small frame, mentally cursing himself for being so careless and cold. She was his responsibility but not once did she feel like a burden. In the dim candle light of his dark cabin, was a woman shivering from cold. He had been in many situations with many women but this was the one time he was left confused. It was at that moment he realized that this woman carried herself with so much dignity, that he was afraid to make a mistake and drop even lower in her eyes. But once he held her, all the fear and confusion was gone. It was as if she belonged there!
But at that time, he did not like the feeling. It was too confusing and dangerous for him! Perhaps thats why he had gone back to being his rude self in the moring. Masking his emotions, he started to blame her and cruelly told her off. She had responded in a equally harsh manmer, pointing out his lack of emotions, calling him heartless and a total Jallad. For the first time words had stung him so bad, as much as he didn't want to admit it at that time. His pride had roared in pain. But it wasn't just that. It was more. Her words had resurfaced feelings of being unwanted and seen as worthless. While no one had understood him, her lack of understanding had the greatest impact. A sharp pain had entered his chest at that point. He had overreacted but at the moment that was all he could do to hold his emotions together. Her words had hurt, real bad. As well as her flinging the coat at his feet, claiming that she had not asked for it. For once he had reached out like a gentleman and had been rejected. But it definitely made him notice Miss. Dhabewaali even more than before! He wanted to make her understand!
Sanam was always tough. He had to admit he was wrong at that time and she didn't hesitate to point that out. Thats what made him admire her the most! The admiration and attraction had then slowly turned into love. Aahil Raza Ibrahim had fallen in love! But it transformed into one crazy roller coaster ride! Leading them to where they were now. Aahil peeked out from his file to see Sanam. The wind blew slightly from the windows making her hair brush against her face, disturbing his view. He had a strong urge to go and move her thick and luscious locks to view her enchanting face. Just as he had that night. When she was unconscious with her head on his shoulder, the urge to brush away the hair that had covered her face made him nearly fist his hands. It was the most alien feeling ever. Yet he was hesitant but finally decided to do it. He had softly brushed away her hair and then settled with her comfortably in his arms.
In her unconscious state, she had kept on moving closer. The farther he would push her away, the more she would come back to him, closer than ever. It was irony at its best! After that, whenever he had tried to push her away, she ended up closer until he could deny it no longer. She had finally understood him, or so he thought? She made those terrible feelings and nightmares go away. Within a small amount of time, Sanam had given him so much happiness and shared so much of his pain. She had made him feel loved and cared for! She made him feel special! Only to make it vanish in that one single moment. The moment he discovered her betrayal. Aahil tried to remind himself why he was doing this. Tonight, he would end this pain. He would find out the truth behind her betrayal.
Suddenly Aahil got up, knowing he could stall this no longer. He grabbed a couple of files from his desk. "I have a meeting outside," he spoke as Sanam turned to face him. She looked at him quizzically.
"At this time?"
"Yes! Why? Have you set a rule that meetings must be held at a certain time?" Sanam rolled her eyes at that and Aahil had to admit she looked adorable doing so.
"Then lets go? Your coming with me." He saw her give a look of utter confusion. Did she not trust him?
"Agar aap chahte hai toh phir main chalungi," she finally said and relief washed over him.
"Tumne pehli bhi saath chalna ka waada todh chuki ho. Tumne kaha tha ke mujhe chorke kabhi nahi jaogi. Kher woh sab zaroori nahi. Main neche ghadi start kar raha hoon, tum woh green file lekar aao. My hands are full so--
"Mulazim hoon main, aapko safai dene ki zaroorat nahi." She responded with a hint of sarcasm that gave Aahil some hope that she was still his Sanam.
"Ok then lets go." He turned around and smiled wickedly while a confused Sanam grabbed the file and followed him.
Aahil looked at Sanam as he drove to their intended destination. She did not speak a word but silently kept staring out the window. Did his words hurt her? He had not meant to sound so harsh but somehow could not stop himself. He wanted her to know how much she hurt him! Aahil contemplated apologizing but knew that once he would apologize, she would start asking about the meeting. The truth was obviously that there was no meeting. What would he tell her? He stole a glance at Sanam hoping she would not look his way. If she did, she would know he was up to something. She always knows! Somehow! He could not afford to let that happen! Aahil swallowed hard. He could not believe that he was nervous! He was ARI! But this time the girl with him was not just any girl! She was his Begum Jaan... Sanam Aahil Raza Ibrahim!
Tu hi hai mere dil ki tamanna, teri hi yaadein har lamha...
De mujhe de apana aanchal, dhoop mein jalta main harpal...
Tujhme hai kuch aisi ghata sa, jiske liye hoon main pyaasa sa...
Aa tu meri pyaas bujha ja re ❤️
