Chapter 28: Chapter 28
"Happy birthday RIMSHA" I mumbled and a lone tear appeared in my eye, which I wiped off suddenly
*Flashback*
'Come to the main gate of your house' I texted her
'Main gate, but why??!!!' She asked me in reply
'Because I said to do so I replied righteously
'Ohh my god!! Maaz plz. Don't tell me that you are here!!!' she texts me
'Yes I'm here, Maaz ki jaan❤️❤️' I texted her and after a minute she opened the window of her room. A beautiful figure was standing in the window but her face was pale because of fear.
'Maaz you are mad... ♀️♀️' She text after witnessing me standing near the metal fence gate of her house.
'And you are the reason behind my madness ' passing a flying kiss to her I sent the text she caught my kiss in the air and kissed her fist. Making my heart jump.
'Are you coming, or I come inside?' I again texted her
'Wait, my courageous man...I'm coming....' I received her message and my lips converted into a great grin
She came to the main gate with tiny and silent steps, just like a cat...
"What are you doing here??" she asked me but I didn't say anything, even I didn't glance at her, as my attention was fixed on my mobile.
"Maaz" Waving her hand she tried to gain my attention but I was waiting for her.
"Happy birthday," I wished her exactly at midnight, and she smiled, making my heart jump again
"Seriously Maaz..?! You are here just to wish me?" she asked while widened her eyes... And I shook my head
"Give me your hand" She obeyed and give her hand to mine. I made her wear a thin gold bracelet, which was looking adorable on her milky white wrist.
"Maaz it's beautiful, thank you," she said and I wanted to hug her but the locked fence gate was there to immobilize me.
I kissed her hand, and we both were looking at each other without thinking about our here and there...
" Maaz you should go now, it's too late," She said anxiously after some minutes but I shook my head
"I don't want to go." tightening the grip on her hand I said and kissed her hand again, she was blushing and I like to make her blush
"But you have to go" Saying that she pulled her hand from my grip and took two steps back...
I wanted to hold her wrist again but couldn't due to the damaged fence.
She was giggling at my condition, and I was looking at her helplessly.
"Go now," She said and kissed her hand where I had planted the kiss, her actions make my heart flutter, holding my heart I took two steps back still looking at her.
"Call me, when you reach home," She said in a whisper but I heard it easily, because of the silence of midnight.
Waving the hand I sat in the car but still I didn't want to go away from her, she smacked her forehead when she noticed me still watching her from the car, she went inside the house after a smile.
*Flashback over*
I came out of my sequence of events when my mobile again beeped...
I picked up my phone and found a message from Rimsha.
'Call me,
If you can.'
I drew out her number from my contact list and dialled, she received the call with the very first ring
"Hello Maaz" His voice was sad and making me sad
"Hello..., Maaz are you there?" she asked as I was just listening to the silence between us for some moments. I looked at Rabiya, she was sleeping
"Yeah. I'm listening" I replied in murmured, I wanted to wish her but my words were not supporting the situation
That was her birthday, but not Happy
"Maaz have you forget?" She asked in a cracky voice, she was sounding broken same as my heart
"No. I can't forget it, I can't..." Saying this I hang up the call and place the mobile on the side table...
My heart was clenched with the pain, her voice was killing me, I can't tolerate Rimsha in pain, I wish I could do something for her, but......
My mobile started ringing, I received the call immediately, I just said "Hello... '' but...
THIRD PERSON'S POV:
Rabiya was sleeping peacefully but her slumber was disturbed by the ringing mobile of Maaz. She opened her eyes and found Maaz picking up the call
"Maaz, who is calling at this time?" Rabiya's sleepy voice came to his ears
"Maaz why you are..." Rimsha was saying something to Maaz on the phone call but his attention was captured by Rabiya
"Huh..., I don't know... I think it's a wrong number" Maaz said a lie to her
'Who can call at this time, is everything alright at the home?' Rabiya asked the self as her mind ran towards her family.
"Check it once, if it is some important call," Rabiya said while making herself set on the bed
"Maaz please talk to me, please..." Rimsha requested Maaz but He was helplessly listening to her voice
"Rabiya it's a wrong number, no need to worry" saying this to her he hanged up the call with a pang in his heart.
' he is looking worried, but why a wrong call made him worry ??'
'Ohh my god..... Was he talking to with his ex-girlfriend?' Rabiya's mind was running in the correct direction but she was confused about how she asked Maaz about the same.
' I can't Rimsha talk to you at this time, I'm sorry' Maaz send a message to Rimsha
After thinking for few minutes Rabiya looked at Maaz and...
"Maaz are you worried about something?" Rabiya asked but he was lost in his trance
"Maaz" She shake his shoulder and he came to his senses
"Huh..??" Maaz looked at her but he won't know what did she asked
'Where is he lost, I'll kill him if he was talking to her..' Rabiya said to herself and she felt a fire inside herself, but she hide that fire behind her sweet voice
"Maaz are you worried?? You are looking very tense" Rabiya asked and both of them were was dying from inside, Rabiya in jealousy and Maaz in sorrow
"Nothing like that.." Maaz said as if everything was totally fine, his expressions were so real that Rabiya's doubt went to its end.
"Are you sure?" She again asked with concern, and gave him a glass of water, which he gulped after giving her a nod after a smile... A fake but well-pretended smile.
' I was thinking wrong if he was talking with his girlfriend, he must behave strangely or something different but he is not, maybe he is worried because of something else' Rabiya think and decided to talk to him like a wise girl
"Maaz" she call him and he looked at, her, Maaz didn't want to talk to her at that time because he was feeling irritated
'I want peace around me please....' Maaz said to in my heart but didn't show any expression on his face
"Rabiya goes back to sleep, I'm also feeling sleepy.." Saying that Maaz was just lay down when she held his arm...
"Maaz, I know you are worried... I don't know about what, but you can share everything with me..." She said and Maaz looked at her. He was surprised
'Maaz... I can't pretend to be a good caring wife more than this...' after rolling her eyes she said to her soul, as behaving like a mature girl wasn't an easy task for her.
'I can't share Everything with you Rabiya, it's about Rimsha and you definitely don't want to listen to it... I don't have anyone with whom I can share my feelings.' Maaz said to me.
"No, it's nothing important. I'm worried about my presentation which I have to give the day after tomorrow." Maaz said and she believed him very easily...
' Rabiya, not good you were doubting him without any reason... 'she scolded herself in her mind.
' Wait, what did he say Day after tomorrow, that means he will be free tomorrow...... 'Playing a little dance in her mind she said happily
"Do you have to attend any meeting or seminar tomorrow??" she asked and Maaz shook his head
"Ya Allah thank you so much...." Rabiya couldn't control herself and said loudly and happily while looking, closing her eyes.
"Maaz we will go shopping tomorrow," She said with a full sprang of joy, but Maaz was not feeling any good inside him.
"Okay, but now I'm feeling sleepy, you also take a rest" he replied and covered himself with a comforter, he didn't want to talk to Rabiya anymore.
'Mr.khadoos, what is the problem with your brain?? Anything can happen at any time. Sometimes you become so serious, and sometimes stay fine.' Rabiya said to her mind after rolling her eyes and lay down facing the opposite of him. Both were waiting for slumber to consume them.
