Manal's Pov:

3 yrs have passed and he didnt come back. Why did you decieve me Hussain, when I loved you so much?
Tears welled up in my eyes at the thought of Hussain never returning back to me.

Day and night I waited for him but he didnt even come to see me in these 3 whole yrs.
I have to be strong now, it's enough.
Till when, I will wait for him?

*flashback*
You are my Angel, he says while kissing my cheeks. We will soon get married to each other and then you will be mine he says and pecks my lip.
I love you, I whisper coming closer to him, his hands encircling my waist.
I love you too angel, he says trailing his hands on my neck, shivers running down my spine.

Why were your promises fake Hussain? Why did you play with my feelings? Still, I remember his every touch used to heal my wound, just his one kiss would mend my heart.

The time he left me entirely alone, I was broken. He didnt even realise once how will I live my life without him?

*flashback*
Manal my angel, I have to go to London for 1 month due to some work so take care of yourself and dont worry, he says kissing my forehead.
I will miss you, I say as tears rolled down my cheeks. He huggs me tightly and kisses my neck.
Dont worry, I will be back soon.

He didnt come back till now. I tried every attempt of contacting him but his number was switched off.
After about 6 months, I got a text from him that he was getting enagaged and that day, I was broken entirely. I had no more courage and I cried my heart out.
He decieved me, and went away.

"Kitni shiddat sey chaha thaa mainey tumhey hussain, aur tumney mere is shiddat ka aisa faida uthaya.
You are a devil Hussain. Tumhare yaadain ajj bhi mere dil mai dafan hain leqin ab nahi, I will forget you, I will crush you away from my heart".

I wipe away my tears and go for a long relaxing shower releasing all the pain built inside me.
Be strong Manal, maybe Allah has planned something more good for you, I say to myself.
I change into my orange shalwar kameez, apply mascara in my eyes and a light lipgloss on my lips.

Tring! Tring!
My mobile rings, I check the caller Id.
Anmol, my best friend.
I recieve the call and then we decide to meet in the shopping mall.

I take my duppata with me and thn go downstairs to have my breakfast.
Mom and Dad are out for some work so I just take an apple with me.

I start my GMC and head towards the shopping mall where Anmol had asked me to.

~~~~~

Manal! I m so happy to see you here she says jumping with excitement.
Same here Anmol, I say as we hugg each other tightly.
How are you feeling now? She asks feeling guilty for me.
Yeah! Everyone feels guity for me because he left me. People think it's my fault that he left me, obviously the blame comes on a girl.

Manal, forget him. He didnt desrve you, you deserve someone more better. She says while wiping my tears and holding my hand.
We thn head towards the shop for buying clothes and sandles.

Anmol, is a really strong girl. She is living a life without her parents but still there is no pain in her eyes.
Her own cousin, killed her parents for the sake of money. Even he decieved her like hussain did.

Hello? Where are you lost?
Anmol asks waving her hand infront of me. No where, I lie.

I will be back in a minute Anmol, I have to use the washroom. I say while she nodds me a okay.
I had some bags with me in my hand, which I kept near the shop and went towards the washroom. As I was walking lost in my thoughts, I bump into someone which caused my balance to loose but a strong grip held me by my waist and saved me.

I open my eyes to see him and my eyes popped out of my sockets.

A/N note!
