♡ Noor ♡
Once again I was on the floor with tear running down my face and hands rubbing the sore spot on my wrist in an attempt to sooth the pain.
After a few minutes I dragged myself into the bathroom and stood in front of the sink. Looking up yet again I was met by her. The same broken woman who looks just like me but isn't.
Because the Noor of this house had happiness in her eyes. But the woman who is looking at her own reflection has only sadness in them.
The Noor of this house was capable of lighting up this whole world with her smile. But that woman in the mirror is only capable of hiding her pain.
The Noor of this house was adorned with glow on her face. But the woman standing here is only awarded with tear streaked cheeks.
The Noor of this house was everyones strength. But that same Noor is now defeated by her fate.
The girl who used to make this whole house alive just because of her giggles isn't even able to cry out loud.
The girl who used to adorn her hands with mahendi and gajra, is now forced to hide her bruises with foundation and concealer.
The girl who was loved to no extent is now being abused by her own husband.
Sometimes I think that where did I go wrong? Am I the reason for my own misery? Is this my destiny?
But the only answer I get is silence. The silence which screams at me for every time I keep my mouth shut.
Sometimes I feel like shouting on the top of my lungs and venting out all my pain. I wish to go back in my Abbu's arms and feel protected. I want to sleep in my Ammi's lap and feel loved.
But the promise Tayabbu and Abbu gave Phupha jaan is caging me back. For them I want to try till the very last minute.
But what I didn't knew was that to let it all happen was my biggest mistake.

Maut ke kitne paas aa gaye
Jab yeh socha to ghabra gaye
Aa gaye hum kahan aa gaye
