THIRD PERSON'S POVThe next day Maria went towards the breakfast table with a big smile on her face to start a new and fresh day, trying to enjoy her limited days at her Abba's house. Yes, her home was in Mumbai now. Ahwaan villa was just her Abba's house.She was happy after so long and longed to stay like that only. Her motive was simple and clear. It was to ignore Mustafa Ahwaan and stay happy. Staying away from him was her key to happiness.But as much as she succeeded avoiding him the whole day she wasn't able to avoid him at the dinning table just like now. He was sitting across her giving her his best smile whenever their gazes clashed with each other. There was a time she loved seeing him smile but right now his smile was making her feel annoyed and she was ready to bash him if he didn't take his irritating gaze off her."Baba Noor want coco cake..."She sighed in relief when little Noor diverted all his attention towards herself. "Baby they are finished. See, none is left."

THIRD PERSON'S POVGetting down the first thing she did was to look for dado who was not present on the dinning table which made her frown, catching Mustafa's lies.She was climbing stairs again to call Murat when she bumped into Mustafa which unbalanced her to fall but he was quick to hold her wrist and pulled her towards himself, saving her from falling down which would have injured her a lot. "Ouch...."Her head bumped into his hard chest when he was pulling her towards himself to save her."What are you made of.... FREAKING BRICKS OR CEMENT?"She groaned rubbing her forehead to which he could only smile amusedly at her response."Is this the way to say thank you! to someone who just saved you ?"He teased, which made her stop rubbing her forehead and scowl at him."I never asked you to save me. In fact, it would have been better for me to fall down, rather getting saved by you."She angrily replied to which he grinned and leaned towards her face making her cower back towards the

THIRD PERSON'S POVAfter taking a long nap everyone settled themselves in the small living room of the cabin house."So....."Osama broke the silence realizing no one was ready to speak and it was getting too awkward to stay silent."So, what ?"Maria asked entering the living area finding everyone's eye on her making her gulp in nervousness which she overcame when Murat warmly smiled at her which she returned back and sat beside him on the sofa."I am asking what will we do now ? it is obvious, that we can't go for outing at this hour."He sighed running fingers though his hair looking at the girls for suggestion knowing the other two men weren't bothered, as one was busy on his phone and the other would do anything his friend asks him to."We can cook..."Aamina suggested and Maria agreed with her ignoring Osama who had a horrified look on his face."No... We won't. You both can if you want to, but we won't."He give his final verdict to which both the girls glared at him, not likin

THIRD PERSON'S POVThe whole trip Maria ignored Mustafa and sticked to Murat as much as she could knowing he won't come near if Murat is with her. She was relieved he didn't tried coming closer but he did gazed at her. She found his gaze similar to those of her's four years ago. But wasn't he too late ? He was and now she didn't have the courage to go back and hand over herself to him. It would mean surrender. It would mean she was nothing, her feelings were nothing and she wasn't ready for that. Yes, her heart still belonged to him but she wasn't a fool to happily run back in his arms. It would never happen. She won't allow it.So, the trip was finally over and now they were on their way back to Delhi. Mustafa was driving the car, Murat sitting at front with him, whereas the other three were sitting at back. Maria was sitting in the middle to stop Aamina and Osama who were fighting with each other troubling her who was already in pain."Please don't fight guys... I beg you two to sto

THIRD PERSON'S POVShe was sitting on the swing in the garden area looking up in the clear blue sky, lost in her own thoughts when Murat saw her from the balcony of his room and he knew something was messing up her brain.Walking towards her, he quietly sat beside her, his suspicion confirmed when she didn't noticed his presence beside her and continued gazing up in the sky."What happened, dove ?"It was when he shook her a little, she turned to look at him startled with his actions."Huh...Did you say something ?""Are you okay ?"Looking inside her eyes he found strom brewing inside him."Tell me what's wrong. Maybe I'll be able to help you."Encouraging, he held her hand tightly asking her to confess everything."First promise me you won't get angry or do anything when I tell you about it."She was scared of his reaction but more than that she was scared of what he was capable of doing. She didn't wanted him to get into fight with Mustafa. It was of no use. "I am definitely going
