It has been a week now, since I had seen Arhaan or heard him. I want to talk to him, listen to him, but everytime I try to contact him something or the other just comes up. +
"Mommy rweady??" Shezan asked.
"Yes and you?"
"Me too"
"Then let's go" I said.
"Daddy?" He asked.
"He'll come directly from the office" I said and held his hand. Today we both are going for shopping. We got inside the car and Shezan started playing his video game. And my thoughts again went back to Arhaan.
Ashar is continuously telling me to contact him and talk to him. I looked at my watch and it was twelve thirty, immediately I decided to call him. I quickly took out my cell from my pocket and dialed his number. My heart hammering in my chest. After five long years I've called him.
I waited for him to pick up but instead I heard a computerized voice saying the number you've dialed is not reachable. Please try after sometime. And I did tried again and again but his cell was unreachable.
I kept on calling him and we reached the mall. I sighed and kept away my cell.
"Mommy, we are hwere. I want toys, ice crweam, everything." Shezan said excitedly.
"We'll see what we need to buy. Okay??" I said sternly. +
"Owkay" he pouted
And from that time we went to each and every shop. Ashar also came and now he was also bored of shopping. I bought myself a couple of t-shirts, dresses, hijab and many more things. Shezan also brought many things and now Ashar is carrying all our bags.
"I'm bored and tired and hungry. Lets eat something, please" he literally begged. We both laughed and said okay. We then walked towards the food court.
"So you both sit down, I'll go and get something to eat." He said dumping all the bags down on the floor. +
"Daddy, I'll come with you" Shezan actually said clearly without fumbling after so many days. We both looked at each other and he smiled. They both then went away.
Shezan is five years old and still he fumbles, the doctor said that he'll take time to speak clearly. I again took out my cell phone and called him but still not reachable. Where is he??
"Mahira" someone called me from behind. +
"Rehan" I said and smiled.
"Alone?" He asked looking around.
"Nah...with Ashar and Shezan, they've gone to give the order" I said
"Okay".
"Sit down" I told him and he sat down.
"How are you?" He asked
"I'm good and you?"
"Good"
"You alone?" I asked looking around, hoping to see him.
"If you're thinking that Arhaan is here with me, then let me tell you I'm alone. He's busy" he said hiding his smile. And I glared
"Oh please!! I'm not looking around for him" I said and shrugged.
"Tsk tsk....well have you both talked?" He asked.
"No" I said and look down. +
"Mahira, I know what he has done with you, is totally wrong. But let me tell you this he has been repenting his mistakes from the last five years. You don't know now anything about him." He said and sighed.
"What do you mean Rehan??"
"It's not my place to tell anything. Talk to him"
"I want to but his cell is not reachable" I blurted out and quickly closed my eyes to avoid embarrassment. He started laughing.
"I knew it and you know I was telling Arhaan also, that you will call him." He said laughing and my jaw dropped. I threw tissue at him. "Okay okay, keep on calling him, his cell will be reachable soon" he said. Unknowingly I smiled. After a bit of chatting he went.
Soon Ashar and Shezan came with a tray full of food.
After we finished eating we were just walking when Shezan decided to play some games in gaming section. It was very much crowded so I decided to stay outside. I was just aimlessly walking when suddenly I bumped into someone and that person's cell phone fell down.
"Oh, I'm so sorry" I quickly said and bend down to pick up.
"Mahira" and I froze. I looked up and my eyes widen.
"Laiba?" I said softly. And there she was standing. But something is missing in her. She was looking very pretty in her dark jeans and olive green color top. And what surprised me more was she was wearing a hijab.
"Assalamualaikum" she smiled making my eyes more wide.
"Walekumasalam" I said coming out of my trance.
"How are you?" She asked politely. And I pinched myself lightly to make myself believe that this is Laiba, and she laughed.
"Allahamdulilah" I said smiling, "And you?" +
"Allahamdulilah and how's everything going on?" She asked
"Everything's good, you say?"
"Everything's fine...and it's good that I met you. I wanted to say something to you, and I can't carry that guilt anymore. I tried calling but couldn't reach you" she said and Instantly my mind gave me a red signal.
"What do you wanna say?"
"Sorry. I'm sorry for everything I've done with you. I'm sorry for insulting you and coming in between of you both. I'm really sorry." She said and held my hand.
"No need to be. It's all forgotten and forgiven. It's good to see a good change in you." I smiled. +
"How's Arhaan??" She asked suddenly.
"I don't know..you say?"
"What do you mean?"
"Umm..after that night. I left him and came here. It's been five years we're not staying together. You must be knowing this...after all you both are married and happy" I said with a lot of courage.
"Oh My God...You don't know anything!!" She said and kept her hand on her mouth.
"What I don't know??"
"I and..."
"Mommmyyyy" Shezan came running and hugged my legs.
"Shezan...how many times I've told you to not to run" I said.
"Sowwyyy" he said.
"It's okay" I smiled and ruffled his hair. And I look up to see Laiba staring at Shezan with weird emotions in her eyes.
"Mahira, you're here and we've been looking for you" Ashar said as he came.
"Ashar" Laiba spoke softly. And he turned his head and looked at her but he quickly picked up Shezan in his arms. And I was frowning. How does she know Ashar? Ashar never told me about Laiba? And why the hell is she looking at Shezan and Ashar???
"I've to go. Mahira, do talk to Arhaan, he'll tell you everything" she said and I nodded.
________________________
*Ashar POV (surprise???)*
"Ashar, tell me everything" Mahira shouted. +
"There is nothing to tell" I said.
"How does she know you??" She asked for the millionth time. It has been three hours since we came back from shopping and from then She's asking me, but I'm avoiding this topic.
"I'm Ashar Sayeed, owner of the Sayeed Corporations. I'm quite famous, she must've seen me in the magazines or television" I said shrugged.
"Yeah right!! Cut this attitude and tell me the truth." She yelled again.
"First of all you calm down!!"
"How can I calm down when my husband's girlfriend/wife is here and she was behaving all so sweetly and on top of that she was giving that loving look to my bestfriend and my child." She said irritatingly.
"Oh!! So you're jealous because she was giving me that loving look?? Don't worry but I love your every look!!" He said and winked. And she threw cushion at him.
"Stop flirting!!" She glared.
"Who said I'm flirting, I'm just stating the fact. Btw don't you think that the tomatoes have lost their color and have turned pale because right now you're so red!!" I said laughing.
"That was a very lame!!" She shouted again.
"What to do?? It's my first time" I said.
"Fine don't say. I'm going and you are no more my bestfriend" she said and got up.
And I quickly ran and stood in front of her way stopping her.
"Mahira, I'm sorry...I'll tell you everything. But never say again that I'm not your best friend!!" I said and she laughed.
"You actually fell for that trap...I'm not going anywhere. We can sit and talk. Come, come let's sit." She said and sat down on the couch smirking. +
"That's so not acceptable. It is called cheating!!" I said and sat down.
"Ashar, I want to know the truth" she said and looked straight at me.
"Laiba, she's the mother of Shezan. She was the one who left Shezan on my door step. For her it was a mistake and she wanted to focus on her courier" I said taking a deep breath.
"What??? But how come?? Details please" she asked shocked. +
"Well, I and Laiba were very much in love with each other at least this is what I thought. That time she was in her final year and was joining her father's business after college. And I was already in business. So we both met through our families.
And we instantly liked each other so we got engaged and got married. Right after three months of our marriage, she suddenly left me with all the money and everything. I searched her everywhere and we even contacted her family, but they didn't know anything.
And I was against of filing a case against her because no matter what she has done with me, she still was a woman, whom I've loved once with all of my heart and soul. So we stopped searching for her but one day I got Shezan in the basket wrapped in a blanket on my door step, with all of his reports and even with a DNA test report. +
I again started searching her and I found her in New York. I wasn't convinced with the DNA so we went again for the test, and it was clear that Shezan was my son. I tried to convince her to come back but she was against it. So we got divorced and from then Shezan is with me and after so many years I saw her today." I told her everything.
She had tears in her eyes and was shocked. +
"And I didn't tell you the truth because I didn't wanted to remember her or my past. So for me it is Shezan was left on my doorstep with a note that it was a big mistake." I said and again closed my eyes...tears escaped my eyes. But I quickly wiped it away.
"And afterwards I got to know that she was happily dating Arhaan Sheikh. But I didn't knew she came in between both of you. And when you told me the truth about your past that time I knew that Arhaan was that person only with whom Laiba was dating and when you told that you found them together that time also I knew that it can't be true...and I know how Laiba is, that's why I'm telling you, please sort out your differences...please talk to him." I said and looked down
"I'm sorry" she spoke softly.
"You don't have to be" I said and knelt down in front of her. "I'm sorry for hiding the truth"
"Ashar..."
"Shhh...don't say anything" I said and leaned my forehead on her. And quickly pulled back breathing hard. She didn't said anything and was looking down.
"Mahi talk to him. I know he loves you alot, hear him out and then decided. Go back to him, before I change my mind and never let you go" I said and she looked up. I know how much only she makes me fall for her. But I know she loves him alot. And I can't become Laiba.
"Go back to him Mahi" I whispered looking down.
"How can I leave Shezan and go just like that??" She asked +
"Shezan, I'll handle him" I said softly.
"And how can I leave you?? Will you be also able to handle yourself??" She asked. And I nodded my head saying no looking down. And instantly we both hugged each other...she was crying with me.
"Ashar...."
"Mahi please, you're making it difficult for both of us" I pulled myself back but she held me.
"Don't please..." And I started stroking her hair.
"Mahi, you're married"
"But I can't leave you both just like that"
"But you love him" and she immediately pulled back and looked straight in my eyes. "Yes, you love him Mahi. I and Shezan will always be there by your side, and this house and office will always be yours." I said holding her hands.
"It will be ours" she said and I nodded. "What about you Ashar?? Don't try to hide it..."
"What about me and I'm not hiding anything. Sometimes for something silence is only the answer. It doesn't always have to be spoken loudly. And who'll better understand my silence than you??" I said. And she nodded. Suddenly her cell started ringing.
"It's Rehan" she said and picked up the call. "What???" She said and kept the cell.
"What happened??" I asked worriedly.
"Arhaan is leaving. He's going now..." She spoke and tears started flowing.
"Mahi...run. Go now...this is your chance to go back to him, talk to him. Go now!!!" I said shaking her up. She quickly got up and ran. But she suddenly came back and stopped in front of me.
"Thank you for everything Ashar. Shezan will always be my first child, my son. And no one can separate him from me, not even you. And we'll always be bestfriends no matter what and will not hide anything from each other. Promise?" She said.
"Promise" I said. But still she was standing. "Mahi...what happened run" but she cut me off but hugging me.
"I love you Ashar, my bestfriend, thank you for everything, thank you for being such a wonderful father and a bestfriend." She said.
"Okay okay...I love you to bestfriend. Now go..." I said pushing her back towards the door. She gave me a one last glance and smiled.
If only you knew what my I love you meant. If only you knew what my love meant...if only!!!
I love you alot Mahira
We both love you alot.
I don't know how we both will live without you.
But we'll always pray for your happiness and well being.
If only you knew...

In a relationship, not all fights result in beatings and blows. Apart from physical abuse or emotional abuse, relationship fights that ranges from children issues and others shouldn't be discussed outside your matrimonial home.
