Lahore.
Monday Afternoon, 3:00 pm
Life was so unpredictable. Just when he thought he had everything under control, that he was going to find stable ground; one storm after another hit him so hard he was picked up and thrown off his feet.
When the dust settled he was left to pick up pieces of his crumpled dreams with a shattered heart. His motivation to go forward and begin again, smaller than ever.
***
The din of the fast paced traffic on the canal road momentarily deafened his ears, and he could forget. Forget that face, which he could sketch blindfolded, that grin that lit it up.
Those half mooned smiling eyes that once played with the strings of his heart and that breezy laughter that was once his undoing.
***
Three years had passed, yet one look at her face made it all come back, snatched the breath right from his lungs, and all his fears, all his frustration resurfaced.
How was it still so easy for her presence to unsettle him?! After everything she had done, how could he still be holding feelings for her!
How could his heartbeat still rise and his voice still shake the moment he laid eyes upon her?!
And why was it that when he said he hated her, every cell in his body negated it?
He couldn't possibly be in love with her, he simply couldn't!
***
Upon parking his car in front of the Major's house Harris Abdullah rested his head on the steering wheel and closed his eyes. Tired as if the weight of the world, rested upon his shoulders.Coming to Lahore now seemed like the biggest mistake as memories of the past assaulted him violently.
|FLASHBACK|
“Yaarr main tumse pyar karta hun!”
("I love you!! Don't you get it??")
"Magr main nhi karti! I AM SORRY...... IT'S OVER, HARRIS"
("But I don't! I am sorry its over Harris.")
"Please... Please.. Don't do this..."
***
Yaa Allah.. WHY ME??
Harris silently sighed or prayed he was not sure himself.
Life was unpredictable, but for him, it had always been a wild roller coaster, with unexpected twists that left him frustrated and breathless, and more broken than before.
And he wondered..
Why was life so cruel to those with weak hearts????
***
Clamping his eyes shut so tight it hurt he slammed the steering wheel exhaling exasperated,
'Uffffffffff'
and the horn hooted,
Peeennnp!!!!!!
