Changing Relations ✔

Chapter 52

Wavy lines rose from the scortched drab cement that lay out countless miles ahead, a ribbon stretched out along the cracked earth, held in place by the weight of the metal behemoths that slowly trudged along it. Varied colored cocoons filled with people whose frustration with the pace simmered like the air outside, kept in check by the frosty breeze flowing from the vents.

I felt sleepy as I laid my head back on the driver's seat. It's been one hour since I'm stuck in this traffic. I'm on my way to Sanjh's house, don't know why but this time she was behaving a bit weirdly, from the day I came here. Only once she had visited me which is so not like her!! Whenever I called her or asked her to meet me, all she did was to make excuses.

We are leaving tomorrow and I thought today will be perfect to check up on her. I didn't told her that I was visiting her today, I wanted to give her a surprise, but this damn traffic has spoiled my all my happy mood. After last night, I didn't got a chance to talk to Zain, I wasn't exactly upset about it neither I was happy about it.

Once we'll reach back to England, I've decided to tell him the truth regarding my health. It would be upto him then, that what he exactly wanna do about it. My heart says that he loves me but my mind is totally against it. I know he loves me but he just don't wanna confess it. Today when talking with Mama she also said the same thing.

Early in the Morning...

"So did you liked the surprise?" Mama asked stroking my hair. I was resting my head on my Mama's lap.

"Who wouldn't like it, Mama" I replied enjoying her touch.

"Did you both talked?"

"No. He was kind of pissed off!!" I said. She chuckled. "He was bound to get pissed off!!"

"Why?" I asked looking at her

"Can't you see it Hanya, he's jealous" she said smiling.

"Jealous? Of what?"

"Wrong. Of whom?" She said.

"Didn't get you" I said sitting up.

"He's jealous of Sameer" she said laughing.

"Whhaaattt????"

"Yess" she laughed.

"You can't be serious"

"Damn serious, it is very much obvious Hani. Even your dad couldn't control his laughter when he saw the expression on his face." She wiped a tear.

"What exactly happened Mama?"

"We all were happily playing with Adeel when the maid came and said that Zain is here. We were also very much surprised, and he simply said that he wanted to surprise you. Your Dad told him that you were out with Sameer. God, Hani you should have seen his face, it was as if someone has thrown him on the cold floor." She laughed

"Really? Then?"

"Then what, he pretended to be not affected by the fact that you were out with Sameer but at the same time he kept on asking about your whereabouts and when did you went? When will you come? Everytime the doorbell rang, he went to open the door." It was so much fun to see him like that.

I chuckled. "That's why he was behaving a bit weird last night and not to forget the sudden mood change."

"Yes, now you understood Hani. Jealousy is the first step of love. Although he loves you from the begining only, but he's just afraid of losing you!!" Mama said with a lost expression.

"Losing me? What do you mean?" I asked.

"Hani, we're all very much aware of the fact that how madly Zain loved Hareem. But we're not a fool Hani, my hair isn't greyed just like that. The bond that you share with Zain wasn't there with Hareem. Ofcourse he loved her alot but with you he's something else. You only once said that how come he reads my mind? How come he knows what's exactly going inside my head? Hani, dear this wasn't there with Hareem. They were just like an any other married couple, but look at you both Hani, the bond is much more stronger than it was before.
