AUTHOR'S P.O.V
Hyderabad, Telangana.
A beautiful Sunday morning bathed in golden sunlight, A came out from the bathroom. A golden sun rays falling on her fair skin from a large window in her master bedroom. Enhancing all her facial features and the perfect curves of the body, adding a radiant charm to her serene appearance. It's Adiba. She is wrapped in her bathrobe and a towel on her head. She looked at the antique clock hanging beside the bed. It's shows 7:45 am. she headed to the closet to get ready for the day ahead. Today she had a leave from her work so basic Co-Ord set.
she looks like the epitome of a stunningly beautiful and endlessly charming. Her brown hair tied in a French bride, exuding an air of effortless grace. She came out of her room and descended the stairs. The home fell extremely calm to her. She got the hint of something odd is in her way. She headed to the dinning area where all family member are having there breakfast.
Adiba's P.O.V
I came in dinning room to have my breakfast. but the moment i entered the room all the whispers are died and the room fell silent. what's happening? today I just wanna relax so I ignored everything and headed to my seat. Mumma came to serve me my breakfast. It's dosa today. I love dosa a lot. I start eating happily. In the middle of breakfast my mom decided to speak.
"Adiba! Mujhe kuch baat karni hai apse!" She said for gaining my attention. I knew there is something coming my way for which I'm not ready.
(Adiba! I wanna ask you something!)
"Haan! Mumma boliye?" I asked out of curiosity.
( Yes, Mumma tell me?)
"Oo! do hafte baad sohel ki shadi hai! Kal apke taya abbu aaye shadi ke cards lekar——" she begins. I narrowed my eyes towards her. My anger simmering beneath the surface.
( Sohail's wedding is after two weeks! Yesterday your uncle came with wedding cards——)
"Haan! Toh a sab ap mujhe kyun suna rahi hain, ammi? Agar ap shopping par jana chahti hai toh please Ayeza ko leker jaiyen! mujhe shopping me aur is shadi me koi interest nahi hai. So please mujhe in sab se dur hi rakhen! aur agar ap a soch rahi hain k mai a shadi attend karungi toh a nahi hosakhta. ap merese a expect na hi kare please." I said sternly.
(Okay! So why are you telling this to me, Mumma? If you want to go shopping then please take Ayeza! I have no interest in shopping and this marriage. So please keep me away from all this! And if you are thinking that I will attend this wedding then its not going to happen. please don't expect anything from me)
"Bada bhai hai woh apka! kab tak aise sab ko dur karti rahogi? sab tumhe yaad karte hain! kab tak unhe aur khud ko aziyat deti rahogi?" she said, her eyes turned dark in anger.
(He is your elder brother! How long will you keep avoiding everyone like this? Everyone misses you! How long will you continue to torment them and yourself?)
By this I lost my control. " Woh koi saage bhai nahi hai mere! cousin hai. aur o cousin hi theek hai! phele jaise mujhe un sab ko saagon se badkar nahi banana hai. ek baar bharosa todh diya hai sab ne milke. aur mai o bhuli nahi hun. aur na hi bhulna chahti hun. aj bhi sab ke baat mere kaanon me goonj rahe hain! so please unhe merese dur hi rakhe." I shouted and stand from my seat in middle of my meal. I glance on everyone and the room in anger.
(He is not my own brother! he is a cousin. And he is good being a cousin! I don't want to prioritize anyone over my own sibling. Once everyone broke the trust i had on them. And I have not forgotten it. And I don't want to forget. Even today also everyone's words are echoing in my ears! So please keep them away from me)
I came back to my room. And sat on the couch and start reading my patients reports to divert my thoughts and calm myself. An hour passed and relax completely. My mind draft in the old memories. The days I was happy from the heart. a genuine smile is always display on my face at that time. The days when I didn't had any façade. The days of genuine laughter, genuine joy.
I came out of my thoughts when I heard a knock on my door to gain my attention. I looked at the direction. There stand my little baby sister with a worried expression on her face.
"Andar aao, wahan kyun khadi ho?" I asked sensing her hesitation.
(Come inside, why are you standing there?)
"Ap theek ho na di? ap itni der se bahar nahi aayi toh fikar horahi thi apki isiliye dekhne chale aayi." she said coming inside my room. her voice laced with concern.
(You are doing good, right? You didn't come out till late, so I was worried about you, that's why I came to see you.)
"Haan, mujhe kya hona hai. Kuch kaam kar rahi thi bus." i replied honestly.
(Yes, what will happen to me? Was just doing some work.)
"Hmm, But ap ka discomfort saaf apke chehre se jhalak raha hai. Appi ek baad puchun?" she asked settling beside me on the couch.
(Hmm, the discomfort of boot up is clearly visible on your face. Appi, can I ask you something?)
"Pucho!" i said in a calm tone.
(Ask)
" Ap sab ko maaf kyun nahi kar deti? i know sab phele jaisa nahi hosakhta but ap ek baar sab bhulne ki koshish toh karen. kab tak ap khud ko yun hurt karti rahingi ap?" she asked looking directly in my eyes seeking for an answer. I sign heavily.
(Why don't you forgive everyone? I know you won't be able to do it all, but try to forget everything for once. How long will you keep hurting yourself like this?)
"Abhi us bareme mujhe kuch baat nahi karni hai choti. Agar sab itna insist kar rahe hain toh mai koshish karungi. lekin I'm not promising you that i will definitely do, i will just try my best." I said not wanting to hurt her with my harsh words. And stood from the couch and left the room and head to garden area.
(Now I doesn't want to talk about that. If everyone is insisting me so much then I will try. but I'm not promising you that I will definitely do, I will just try my best.)
As i was descending the stairs suddenly my phone rings. I looked at the Caller I'D. It's my idiot cousin Afiya who is so close to me. I lift the call knowing what she's gonna say.
"Assalamalekum, khairiyat? Kaisa yaad aayi aj is behen ki?" I asked teasingly.
(Assalamlekum, how are you? How did you remember this sister today?)
"Walekum asalam, Alhamduliah. Han bhai han agar ap hame yaad nahi karengi toh hame toh yaad karna hi padega na ap toh tehri busy person aur ham toh hamesha free rehte hai toh apki yaad satane lagti hai. Aj apki chutti rehti hai toh socha aj apse baat hi karlen." She said mockingly. I can imagine her rolling her eyes while commenting this.
(Walekum Asalaam, I'm fine with god's grace. my dear, if you don't remember me then I have to remember you. because you are such a busy person and I am always free so your memories start haunting me. Today you had a leave and you will have free time so I thought I can talk to you today.)
"Ohhh! Acha aisa hai kya mujhe laga ap kuch aur baat karne k liye itni subha subha call karin hain! I think assumptions are wrong this time." I said knowing she gonna drop a bomb on me now. And as expected she utter making me roll my eyes in annoyance.
(Ohhh! really, is it so? I thought you called so early in the morning to talk about something else! I guess my assumptions are wrong this time.)
"Look, mujhe pata ab tak toh chachi ne tujhpe shadi attend karne ka pressure daldiya hoga. And there is no more discussion. Tu aa rahi hai. Aur aj ham yani tu, mai aur ham sab girls group shopping per jaraha hai. Ham fifteen minutes me tere ghar par honge tujhe pick karne. Jaldi se ready hoja. Already ham late hochuke hain! Please hamare aane se phele ready rehna. Koi tamasha nahi chahiye. So hurry up. Taiyar hoke jaldi se neeche aajana. Ab mai phone rakh rahi hun. Allahafiz. I love you. Bye." She said in one go not letting me speak and cut the call. I know now i cant backoff from this. I exhale a long breath to calm my nerves. And head to my room. My cloths are already good to go for shopping so i directly headed to my vanity. I applied a toner then a generous amount of sunscreen. A little bit tint on lips. And headed to living room only to encounter with a storm just entered in my house.
(Look, I realized that aunty must have put pressure on you to attend the wedding. And there is no more discussion. You are coming. And today we i.e. you, me and all the girls are seen in group shopping. We will be at your house in fifteen minutes to pick you up. Get ready quickly. Already we are late! Please be ready as soon as we come. No drama is needed. So hurry up. Get ready to go and come down soon. Now I am cutting the call. Allahfiz. I love you. Bye.)
"Wooo, your looking beautiful." Afiya said while twirling me around.
"Aggg! Girjaungi." I shouted afraid of getting hurt.
(Aggg! I will fall.)
"Okay! okay!.......acha chale ab?" she asked making me stand at one place.
(ok let's go now.)
"O hello! A hyderabad hai. yahan 11 baje se phele koi dukan nahi khulte aur abhi sirf 9:30 ho rahe hain so khuda ka khaof karo wahan jake shops khulne ka intezar karne se behtar hai ap sab nasta karlen uske baad chalte hai." i said making them relax a bit and nod in agreement.
(O hello! This is Hyderabad. Here, no shops open till 11 o'clock and now it is only 9:30, so some fear of God, it is better to have breakfast and then leave. Instead of waiting for the shops to open.)

His sharp jawline, high cheekbones, and a faint scar along his right eyebrow giving him an edge, blending danger with allure. His skin is sun-kissed, with a smooth, flawless complexion, and his lips are full, curling into a calculated, confident smirk that suggests both power and mischief.
He left the room and headed to dinning area. In silence He had his breakfast served by his mom. and left for his office.
On the other side

After placing the order she came out off the store. suddenly her phone had a call from her best friend. she picked her call. they had a casual banter but still she was so lost in the conversation that she didn't notice her surroundings. At the same time Rayyan came out on the street after finishing the meeting. he was also lost in the thoughts of up coming projects. And out of no where Adiba and Rayyan bumped to each other.
