JASLY - STRUGGLE FOR LOVE

UNEXPECTED NIGHT

Aly was just about to gulp down another glass of scotch, but his hand stopped in the midway as suddenly his heartbeat accelerated. He immediately understood that the girl whom he loved, she was around him. He put the glass back and tried to compose himself by clenching his fist and shutting his eyes. He had been yearning to see her from more than a month. That’s why he couldn’t stop himself from turning around and look at her.

His heart stopped beating as his eyes fell over her. She was stepping into the party hall with Rahul. She was looking breathtakingly gorgeous in that black saree. In the whole party, only this girl had the power to accelerate the heartbeat of the world-famous business tycoon, The Aly Goni. Tears welled up in his eyes as he looked at her face which had become pale. She had a small smile on her face, through which she was trying to hide her all pain. She could hide her pain from the whole world behind her smile and makeup but not from Aly. He could read her eyes which were only filled with pain.

The way Aly had felt her presence without even looking at her, in the same Jasmin also felt his presence. Her eyes were searching for him in the whole party desperately. Rahul’s business partners were coming with their wives and meeting them. She was just passing them smile while her desperate eyes were searching for him. She was feeling like her heart would be exploded. Finally, her eyes stopped over him. As she looked at him, he turned his face and looked on the other side. She was seeing him after so many days. She was gazing at him without caring about anything. She felt like she got his breath back after seeing him. She wanted to freeze the moment here and wanted to keep gazing at him like this. She was happy to see him fine and at that moment also, she didn’t forget to say thank you to god for making him fit and fine.

“Aly.” As Rahul shouted, waving his hand at Aly, Jasmin came back on the earth and Aly looked at him instantly and smiled. Now Jasmin was looking everywhere except Aly.

“Let’s go,” as Rahul placed his hand on her back and Aly looked away instantly. Aly used to feel hurt when Rahul used to touch Jasmin in front of his eyes. He had no right on her but still, he couldn’t control himself from getting jealous. Jealousy is the part of love only. If there is love then jealousy will be also there.

“Rahul, I need to use the washroom. You go and I will join you both later on.” Jasmin gave an excuse because she was not ready to face Aly at that time. She needed a few minutes to compose herself. Rahul nodded at her and removed his hand from her bareback. He left to meet Aly and she went to use the washroom.

“How are you Aly?” Rahul asked hugging him. He hugged him back, having a smile on his face.

“You can see yourself how I am,” Aly spoke happily after breaking the hug. Rahul was happy to see him fit and fine, but he knew, Aly was broken from inside.

“Let’s have some drink,” Aly patted his back. He just nodded his head giving him faint smile.

“I just can’t face, Aly. I can’t control my feelings in front of him anymore. I don’t want him to know, that what I feel for him. I don’t want to increase the complications. I have to leave the party venue as soon as possible. Yes, this is right.” Jasmin was crying standing in front of a huge mirror. Luckily nobody was in the washroom at that time. She turned to walk wiping her tears but stopped listening to her mind.

“When you will learn to face your problems? Running from your problems is not the solution. Face them and come out them with the flying colours. You have to face Aly.” Her mind encouraged her to face Aly.

“I have to face him.” She murmured these words three times to encourage herself. Then she stepped out of the washroom after taking a deep breath.

She reached in the hall, her eyes were finding Aly and Rahul. First, she looked at the bar counter but they were not there. She found them standing in the corner of the hall. They were talking to each other like nobody was there at the party except them. Jasmin used to get some kind of peace seeing their strong bond of friendship. She sauntered over them and stood behind them.
