The Silence.
Everything about that moment is etched clearly in my mind...dark as the irrevocability of fate I had stamped on myself.
It is the most perfect moment in my memory ever...When after receiving the blessings on quran khaani, my prayers were answered.
I ran to him, confident of myself. I was taken back by the face that smiled at me so surely.
And then the moments came flying...When I first met him... When our hands touched and I felt something instantly...When he grabbed my hand like a child, wishing on the meteor shower...When he pulled me towards him in determination and frustration many times...
It must have lasted a few seconds?- A moment of silence so deep and clear and final.
It was a clear sign...That I chose to ignore.
My pride? My arrogance? My ignorance? My enormous stupidity?
I was before my God and I stubbornly refused to take the path he showed me.
I failed to listen...to my inner voice.
A moment of silence that had shown me my future...where I truly belonged.
And now I have this eternity to spend in silence...Waiting out a life time...
I smile, I talk, I walk...go about all the usual motions that show I am living...
And I feel empty inside...Like a cheap plastic doll...dressed up in the finest clothes...
I know now.
That I was more precious to him than I will ever know.
It must be too late now, Right?
Forget that I even asked.
PS: The precap was so heart breaking when Sanam asks Ahil to dress Shaad up personally...to be her bridegroom. It was the heights of arrogance and looked very ugly, coming right after a spiritual experience she had. It looked like she was rejecting what God had proposed for her and decided to act, banking on her own judgement. It was painful watching Ahil bowing down to her dictates- more painful was the enormity of Sanam's loss that she is not aware of.
I do understand no one is in a mood to discuss anything other than venting out frustrations... Anyway, these are my thoughts...not going to defend or offend anyone...just an observation...speaking from Sanam's POV as she reflects back on the day she made a huge error in judgement. (Sanam has not regained her memory, but now Jannat knows she should have chosen Ahil.)
