Another Hate Love Story

34.

Since three hours I was on bus, waiting for my destination and finally when I look out from the window my eyes got a glance of a hoarding

-Nizamabad Bus Terminal-

Taking my suitcase, I stepped out from the bus, and took taxi to my home. It was quarter past ten, roads were almost empty but not more than my heart. Few dogs were barking making me feel scared. I was reciting few holy verses when the taxi was passing through a completely empty road, taking out my mobile from purse I switched on that to call Nabeel bhai to inform him about my arrival but suddenly my mobile started ringing that was Adnaan's call.

Without wasting a single moment I cut his call but before I could call Nabeel bhai his call again displayed on my mobile.

Disconnecting his call I again switched off my phone and tears again came in my eyes.

For me Adnaan was like that light shower of rain which wet the dead soil of my heart and brought Petrichor in my life, but that light rain was converted into storm which destroyed the crystal castle of my dreams

"Madam kis taraf jana hai?" I came out of the world of my memories and looked here there, I was just a few meters away from my home.

(Madam Where do you want to go)

"Tu.. Turn to left" I couldn't help myself but cried while saying that, I didn't want to come back to my home like that, I was planning to come to meet mummy on her birthday which was few days later, that too with Adnaan.

But the unexpected twists and turns of life!!!

"Stop h-ere" I tried to gulp my tears but they again rolled down from my eyes. After giving money to Taxi Driver a step towards my home.

Wiping my tears I rang the door bell and soon the door was open by Nabeel bhai.

"Sara.. You.. What a surprise" He smiled but looked at me with confusion. "Are you crying?" He asked and my eyes again dropped two tears.

"What happened and where is Adnaan?" He asked after looking outside, maybe he was trying to find out Adnaan.

"Mar gaya wo.. Aaj ke baad mere saamne uska naam bhi mat lena" Saying that I took step towards my room.

(He is dead, don't even utter his name in front of me)

"Nabeel kon aaya hai beta?" my feet was captured by floor when I listened mummy's loud voice from her room.

(Nabeel who is here?)

"Mummy aapki beti wapas aa gyi... Hamesha ke liye" I replied loudly and cried out while mumbling the last part.

(Mummy your daughter is back... For forever)

"Sara are you here are arguing with Adnaan?" Nabeel bhai asked me in anger filled voice and I shook my head. "We didn't have any argument, but I got to know something about him" I told my brother and he furrowed his brows.

"What?" He asked  at the same time mummy also came out from her room and I felt weak in her presence.

"Why are you crying? And..." I hugged my mother.
