Humsafar (short stories)

Junoon

Author's note:
(Wafa is not taking a stand because if she will take a stand then she will be called into the Principal's office because of the fight and the Principal will call her guardian who is Salar and he will for sure kill all of them without thinking twice. Salar's character is like this only he kills the person who harms his family without thinking twice as it is very common in their family)

Wafa could feel all her class fellows and teacher staring at her disgustingly

She moved to Zara and Fara but they were also ignoring her although they didn't make her feel uncomfortable

She was getting emotional but tried to divert her mind by studying

Salar was the only professor who didn't made her feel uncomfortable
....................................................................
The whole month passed like that but still her teachers and class fellows used to treat her like that some times she used to cry in college's washroom but she never cried in front of them

"Miss Wafa why didn't you do the homework"
Professor Sadaf asked angrily

"Mam I wasn't well"
She replied meekly

"What happened to you?"
She asked rudely

"Mam I had fever I couldn't even sleep the whole night"
She was telling truth she was burning in fever even Salar told her to take an off but she denied because already her teacher hated her

"She couldn't sleep because of fever or"
She left the sentence incomplete making her confuse

The whole class looked at her disgustingly
"No mam I had fever you can even check it"
She said innocently because she didn't understand what she's talking about

"I don't wanna touch a person like you"
She said making a bad face

Ouch that hurts she was her favourite professor

Wafa controlled herself whispering to herself in mind it's okay she must be in bad mood she didn't mean it
....................................................................
"Wafa what happened you seem so silent today are you not well yet?"
Salar asked who was working on the laptop while Wafa was keeping her head on his chest while hugging him

This was the first normal conversation between them in the six months of marriage otherwise they talk only when necessary they were close very close physically but emotionally they still needed time which is the reason Wafa was still terrified of Salar. They had everything in marriage but they were emotionally distant although both started loving each other nobody said it once it was just a babe when they couldn't control their emotions that too from Salar for Wafa she needed Salar to express first her self respect didn't allow her to talk even unnecessarily, the thing she did know was that Salar was raised to be heartless and cold it was forbidden for him to express his feelings no matter what the relation or situation is he has to be cold even he used to show his care and love in a cold way that was restricting Wafa from expressing her feelings

"Nothing and I am completely fine now"
She got emotional when he asked her but controlled herself

"Sure"

"Yes"

"Salar am I a bad girl"
She asked sadly

"Who said that Wafa you are the most pure woman in the whole world? It's nothing like that never think like that again ok"
He left the laptop and caressing her hair

"Nobody said I was just thinking"
She lied closing her eyes and asking forgiveness from Allah Almighty

"Never think like that again ok"
He said to her to which she nodded
