      I tied the watch around my wrist and adjusted my suit before taking a final glance at my reflection in front. I released a sigh and walked down. Hussain and Iram were not here yet so i decided to go to mansion to get Ayat. She must be ready by now,i thought smiling as i entered the mansion. Just then Saman walked down the stairs in a pink gown which had metallic sequence all over the neck and sleeves. She stopped on her tracks looking at me shyly. I pulled a smile

"Bohot acchi lagrahi ho" i say once she stood in front of me

"Bohot acchi lagrahi ho" i say once she stood in front of me

"Aap bhi.." she replied. When i tried looking into her eyes,i felt embarassed. I looked down feeling my heart which was beating normal,no sense of any excitement in them. Something didn't felt right,i don't know what but i was hating that feeling

"Ayat tayaar nahi hui abhi tak?" I asked for her having nothing to say

"Woh nahi aarahi hai.." she replied pressing her lips

"kyun?" I frowned

"Woh tayaar hoke sogayi..aise me use thori na le jasakte hain" she said

"Yaar woh itni excited thi,mujhe apna dress bhi dikharahi thi.." i felt sad knowing she won't be coming with me

"Koi baat nahi Shehryaar.." she reached for my arms. I nodded my head. I wanted to ask her about Aliya. She will come,right? But why am i so concerned?

     My heart beat quickened suddenly, nerves getting tensed. I stared at Saman's face who gazed at me furrowing. I was feeling something. It seem to getting so big in my chest that it started to ache. Sensed some movement and i knew she is near. Turning my head,i saw her on the last stairs already looking at my direction

         Like a dandelion she stood there,as an unasked pious wish. She was a girl who was once carefree and full of life. The girl who was daring and out-spoken and funny and crazy yet so soft and fragile from inside. The girl i fell for does not exist anymore. Suddenly,the wind changed it's direction. Blowing her away,not destructing her. It was her rebirth. She came back in my life as a woman,ladened with responsibilities over her shoulder,with no one by her side. The woman who once used to smile so much has forgot after shedding endless oceans of tears. She came back a completely different person,carved in loneliness,carrying so much within. Though everything has changed,i can't stop wondering if she has ever thought about me in all these years.

    I blinked my eyes rapidly,sucking in deep breathe trying to look away from her face but i couldn't. If i knew it would hurt this much i wouldn't have laid my eyes on her at first place. Why does it hurt? Because i cannot love her or

Because i still do?!

    Saman went past me towards Aliya and i finally averted my gaze off her face
