HFW : Chapter 07

IrtazaIs that Zoya? My eyes open wide at her as she walks up the stairs, looking straight at me. She looks stunned as hell and I wonder what she's doing here in Bangalore. This isn't gonna be fun or easy meeting. I and Zoya had always been perfect rivals. We could not stand each other no matter what. However, in the end, I was the culprit. It makes me a bit hesitant to face her. Nonetheless, I'm thankful to her for passing me a casual smile as she reaches me."Hey, what a pleasant surprise!" She beams and I'm shocked at her warm attitude toward me."Are you Zoya?" I ask confusingly."As far as I know, I haven't done plastic surgery", she laughs. I join her laughing my heart out."Zoya!""Irtaza!" She mimics me. "You have changed so much", I roll my eyes in shock. She looks and behaves completely like a different woman.The Zoya I knew would never pass me a positive vibe check even after I apologised."If you can change, why can't I?" She chuckles. "I left the past behind. A long ago

HFW : Chapter 08

NikhatI freeze in the same position as a statue as Kaif's eyes straight come to me. He gets on his feet, peering deep into my eyes. I don't know how to react. My voice sticks inside my throat, my legs freeze there. I can't move, I can't speak. "Long time", before I can figure out anything, he pulls on a big smile and surprisingly it makes me smile wider.The smile isn't forced, it's hell genuine and so is his one."Yeah", my voice is low and I can't even utter something because of smiling. "Long— long time"My chest swells with an unusual joy which I never thought I would feel. From the last night, I had been hiding from him and I thought I would have nothing to react to. But I can't believe how genuinely happy I am to see him. We don't speak anything.Only smile at each other.Stare at each other from a distance.Why does it feel so good? "Nick!" Mia bangs inside the room, dragging me out of my thoughts as our eye contact breaks. "Hey, didn't you guys start it yet?" She panics an

Irtaza"Mr Kaiser, it'll be fine", Nikhat slides her hand out of my grip, hesitating as I come back to reality. I immediately pull my hand back. I wonder why I lose control over myself in such situations. I just hope she doesn't get me wrong for all the things that have been happening in the last few days."Please be careful", I scoff at her and she shakes her head, keeping her gaze away. I don't know for how long I'm gonna hide my feelings from her. I badly wanna confess it and propose to her for marriage but it seems to be next to impossible if she never shows a bit of interest In me."Hey guys", Zoya shows up and looks down at Nikhat. "What happened? Are you alright?""Yeah. I'm fine", she smiles."I'm getting shocks over shocks", Zoya laughs. "I didn't know you'll be here in Irtaza's company"Nikhat passes a nervous smile and I don't know why she looks a bit nervous in front of Zoya. Maybe, she doesn't wanna encounter her former boss. That's awkward for any employee."Anyway, I

KaifShe holds my arm softly when the flashes of Irtaza holding her crash into my sanity. I feel an unusual burn and gulp down. However, I realise she had hurt her hand. "How's your arm?" She freezes for a second and mumbles."It's fine. How do you know?""The accident yesterday. I was in the cab. I saw you holding your arm that moment. And today you hissed so loudly", I tell her.She looks utterly shocked as if it's because of our repeated encounter unknowingly. "Oh! I'm fine", her lips twitch into a smile. "Now get up and call Zoya. Ask her where she's having her lunch. Join her"I don't know why I can't argue with her. She's so damn irresistible. Shaking my head, I take out my phone and dial Zoya's number. It rings.At the same moment, Nikhat's phone rings and she picks up."Yes, Mr Kaiser"My heart chills again as I keep gawking at her."Yeah. I'm coming. Stay in the coffee shop"Coffee!They may be close enough to hang out. Otherwise, Nikhat isn't fond of hanging out with anyon

Nikhat"Abbu, I told you I'm not getting married anymore. Please leave me in my situation", I tell abbu over the call and it's not the first time I'm repeating.I have been repeating this ever since I started them again. It's been one and a half years of my divorce and I don't think I'm ready to take a risk again. It's hard to trust relationships. It's hard to trust someone that they will stick to us, they will be loyal to us. No matter how hard we try to be better for a person and hold them, they'll eventually leave. There can be no excuse for replacing. I got replaced and that would be the biggest stain on my life forever. "Nikhat, you're not getting it, my child. You're so young. You still have a long life to spend ahead", he says, his voice concerned."I was young, abbu", I sarcastically laugh. "I was also young back then. I was only twenty-four. I wish you assumed me young enough back then and not hurried the procedure"I hear him sighing. It's not like I'm deliberately makin

Kaif"You literally went for a coffee last night? Without me?" Zoya frowns as we munch the breakfast, sitting in the restaurant under the resort."I thought you must be sleepy", I mumble. There was no plan to go outside last night. But I couldn't help it. I believed Nikhat would be on the balcony again like that night. I wanted to watch her. The voids of seven months weren't easy to fill. My eyes craved to watch her. And I knew I would find her. I did. She was again on the balcony and time she didn't hide. In fact, she looked back at me and smiled. I don't know why it felt like she was actually happy to see me. Even though her connection with Irtaza freaked me out, I realised how wrong I'm going with this. Just because she is finally comfortable with people around her, doesn't mean there is something. I should be happy that she's not the same timid and silent Nikhat anymore. "You met her?" Zoya's question brings me back to the moment as I cleared my throat. I don't think there's

Kaif"I can't believe we're kicked out like this", Nikhat shrugs, following me through the lobby."I'm never thrown out like this from any meeting", I groan. "As if I was", she grumbles. "What do you wanna say?"I halt and turn around to her, drawing my eyebrows together. "Ah. You don't know?" I ask."No", she rolls her eyes as if she has done nothing. I can't believe this."The thing is we're kicked out because of you", I point at her. Her mouth falls open at me as if she didn't really think she was the reason."Really, Kaif?""Yeah. Really?" I force a smile and walk away. I can hear her fast footsteps towards me. "I didn't do anything alone, okay? We laughed together. We chatted together", she groans."And who started the conversation?" I turn around as she seals her mouth, halting abruptly, so she doesn't bump into me. "And what about you listening to songs? Who wears earbuds in such an important meeting?" She groans, gritting her teeth at me.And it unexpectedly makes me smil

Kaif"I'll never understand the logic behind brown parents forcing their children into marriage", I crack up, trying to lighten the situation."Are you still fighting with your ammi?" She laughs back."Still", I let out a deep sigh and this time, my phone rings. I take my phone out of my pocket and look at the screen with a chuckle."It's ammi""I'll excuse you", she giggles and looks over at the woods again as I pick up the call."Assalamualaikum, ammi", I beam."Walekum Assalam. How's it going over there? How are you?""I'm fine, ammi. How're you?""How would I be in this empty house without you? Only if you got me a daughter-in-law, I wouldn't need to be alone right now", she says.My mother!She has some superpowers to link everything with my marriage."Ammi!" I gasp, stretching the sound. "Okay. Okay. I'm not talking about this anymore. How's your seminar going?""It's going good", I tell her. "Zoya was telling me that she has to force you to have meals?" Ammi groans.This Zoy

KaifAmmi's silence confuses me. I don't know what she's thinking about me being with Nikhat. She must be stunned to even talk. I didn't want to tell her that I'm with Nikhat. However, I just wanted her to leave the idea of talking to that girl. Now, I'm feeling like I could do something else instead of telling her. She's gonna keep nagging me the entire time when I'll be here in Bangalore. Such a mess. I let out a deep sigh waiting for her answer and not looking at Nikhat even once. I don't know what she's even thinking. "Ammi!" I call her out as she stammers as if she was numb until now."Yeah. I'm here", she mutters."What happened?""I was thinking if you're lying to me so that I don't want to talk to her again?" Her voice is suspicious. I laugh. "No. Ammi, I'm serious", I whisper and look at Nikhat. "She's here, Ammi. She's next to me"Ammi doesn't speak anything for a while again. I guess she has dropped the idea of talking to Nikhat. That's better. I wouldn't want her to say

KaifOur eyes meet. I pause. And her smile vanishes.Shit! Shit!Shit!Don't walk away, please.Not again. What misery! I can't even express my feelings because of this fear. It's so hard to keep things inside. As my heart is almost sinking, I find her slightly smiling.But she says nothing. "You know I love the cool side of yours. Be like that", she says with that smile. At least, she loves something about me. Not me, of course. I smile lightly. "And please don't worry. A restriction order is issued against him. He's not gonna bother me anymore", she says. "At least, you did it. You should have done that a long time ago", I tell her."No. I didn't do that. Mr Kaiser did it for me", she says.I pause for a whole second and realise what she just said. "You mean Irtaza?" I mutter with a slight twist in my chest. "Yes. Him. I can't afford to hire a lawyer and get this all done. Well, I can afford it if I save a lot, but I didn't have the courage to do that all. Thankfully, he did
