HIS LOVE, HIS BEGUM~~~
PROLOGUE
A woman was living in a secluded cottage away from everything and everyone
Trying to regain the sense of control and independence she had once lost
In that small cozy cottage
She lived a peaceful life, a constant repetitive but secure life, she had once lost
Living away from humans was something she never realized she would one day do
Yet here she was, completely disconnected from the outside world
Just living with her plants and books, focusing on her work
Happy, Peaceful and mostly Safe
A man was living in a desolate apartment
Going by everyday like a ghost of his previous self
Living a life he thought was worse than death
Not for himself, but for the woman who owned his heart
For the woman whose smile, whose voice, whose eyes we're enough to give him the peace he never knew he needed
She was also the woman who left him
Who disappeared like thin air
Who took his heart, his sleep, his peace, his everything with her
His only reason to live is to find her
He has been searching for her and he'll continue even if decades pass
And when he does, he'll get all the answers that keep him up at night
And he'll make sure she becomes his again
EP 1
A man was standing in front of a small cottage while looking at it with millions of emotions
His hands shivering, his eyes shinning with unshed tears, and his breath coming out shaky
Finally after standing there for what felt like an eternity, he started walking towards the door
After taking a long deep breath, calming himself, he rung the bell
Each footstep felt like a hammer hitting his heart
He was staring at the door with the anticipation of a lost traveler finally finding his destination
And soon, his wait came to an end when the door got opened
The woman he was waiting for, searching for, praying for, finally came in front of him
...
*Breath hitched as soon she saw him*
...
*Smiling with eyes barley containing his tears*
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*Gulped and just frozen in her placing looking at him*
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
Arslan....
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*Whispered barely*
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
*Smiled brightly with tears now falling freely*
Sitting inside the cozy living room, both of them were silent, just staring at each other
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*Took a deep breath and spoke*
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
Why are you here?
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*Voice deadly calm and eyes totally blank*
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
*Felt his chest ache seeing her like this*
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
*Lips quivered and took out a paper from his pocket*
The paper was beyond crumbled, as if it was folded and opened again and again, to the point of it starting to get torn
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*Eyes fell on it and chuckled bitterly*
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
Waaah Mr Wattoo, divorce munnh par dena kah liya itni dor aa gayi....
(Wow Mr Wattoo, you came so far away just to give divorce face-to-face....)
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
Itni takleef nahi karne chahiya the, akhir ab aap biwi bachon wale insan hain...
(You shouldn't have troubled yourself so much, after all you are a man with wife and child now...)
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*Cold sarcastic tone*
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
*Stunned and eyes sharpened immediately*
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
What. did. you. say?
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
*Deadly calm tone and staring right through her soul*
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*Breath stopped but didn't flinch nor back down from his gaze*
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
You heard me....
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
Main nah yeh papers sign kar diya hain, 8 mahine ho gai hain ab....
(I have already signed these paper, it's been 8 months now...)
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
So why the hell are you here with these? To humiliate me further?
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
To actually see what I look like when I sign these?
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
Yeh dekhna kah liya kah apko apne pas rakhne kah liya main raun ge? bheek mangon? ya kuch or karon ge?
(To see if I would cry, beg or even try to do something else to keep you?)
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*Tone filled with bitterness*
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
*Just listening to her and eyes getting colder and darker by the second*
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
But Mr Wattoo, I have already begged you enough, cried enough and groveled enough....
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
Not anymore, I have long let go of anything I had for you....
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
So kindly leave, because you won't find the pathetic Kashish you want to see here, not now not ever...
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*Stood up with head held high and moved to open the door*
But before she could walk past him, he pulled her wrist, turned her around and pulled her on his lap, holding her close
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*Surprised and looked at her with wide eyes*
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
*One hand holding her head close and other tightly wrapped around her waist*
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
Ho gaya? Bol liya?
(Had enough? Said enough?)
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
Ab mere suno....
(Now listen to me....)
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
*Eyes now gentle yet still had a rough edge to his voice*
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*As if in trance just looking at him*
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
8 mahine, 8 mahine ho gai hain tumhain dhondta dhondta....
(8 months, it's been 8 been since I started searching for you....)
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
Pagalon ke tarha is duniya kah har kona chaan mara....
(Like a lunatic I searched every corner of this world....)
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
Couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, couldn't LIVE because the woman I loved LEFT me....
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
Chor gayi yeh batai baghair kah kyn jaa rahe hai, kah mere ghalti kya hai, kah mera GUNAH kya hai....
(Left without even telling me why, without even telling me what I did wrong, what SIN I committed....)
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
Answers, all I want are answers Kashish....
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
Why did you leave? What did I do? What couldn't you even tell me?
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
Huh??!!
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
Wasn't I a good husband? Wasn't I trying my best to be better for you? Wasn't I loving enough? Wasn't I caring enough?
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
All these questions gnaw at me, making me doubt every moment we spent together....
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
Hmmm?
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
What is my mistake?What am I getting punished for?
His tears fell on her cheek, but she didn't move, just stared at him
Arslan was crying silently while Kashish was staring at him with eyes holding millions of emotions but face completely blank
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
Dhoka diya hai apna, bewafai ke hai apna....
(You cheated on me, you betrayed me....)
Her that calm tone, her emotionless eyes and those vicious cruel words, made him feel like his soul was ripped apart from him
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
K... kya... kya bakwas kar rahe ho?
(Wh.. what... what nonsense are you speaking?)
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
*In utter disbelief and on the verge of having a breakdown*
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*Chuckled sarcastically*
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
If my own existence was nonsense to you, of course these words would also feel the same....
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
But it's true, isn't it?
"Shadi kar raha hon main, tum sa nafrat karna laga hon, ghein ate hai tumhare zikar sa bhi, divorce papers bhej raha hon, unhain sign kar kah mere zindagi sa hamesha hamesha kah liya door ho jana...."
"I am getting married again, I have started hating you, even your mere mention is enough to disgust me, I will send you divorce papers, sign them and leave my life forever...."
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
These very word you said to me, and now you are here acting like the victim?
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
Doing this whole drama of brokenhearted hero who is wronged and hurt?
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
Spare me these tears, these pathetic speeches, and get lost....
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
Apko jo chahiya tha woh main na da diya, ab khuda kah naam par chalen jain yahan sa....
(I have given you what you wanted, now please for the love of God go away....)
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
*Can't speak and felt his world spinning*
And before she could realize what was happening, she saw Arslan moving away and throwing blood up on floor while his nose was bleeding heavily
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*Eyes widened and instantly held him close*
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
*Face aside and throwing up even more*
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
Arsi... Arsi... what happened?
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*In utter shock and panic*
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
*Eyes falling close and tired falling in her arms*
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*Shivering badly and looking at him worriedly*
And soon Arslan fainted while Kashish was breathing heavily while trying to control an incoming panic attack
EP 2
Arslan finally gained his conscious but was feeling extremely weak
Slowly he opened his eyes and staring at the ceiling
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
*Hissed feeling pain in his abdomen while having trouble breathing*
Hearing movements, Kashish who was in the kitchen, immediately rushed to him
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
Lay down Arsi, don't move....
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*Gently and put hand on his hand*
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
*Eyes fell on her and everything that happened came crashing down*
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
Kashish... Kashish I swear I didn't so anything!!!
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
I... I only love you!!!
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
I wouldn't even imagine---
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
*Tried to sit up but immediately fell back in pain*
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*Knelt beside him and gently held his hand*
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
We'll talk later, just rest for now....
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*Softly and put blanket on him again*
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
*Just staring at her while hoping to speak thousands of things yet couldn't because of pain*
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*Caressed his hand unconsciously and then stood up*
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
*Held her hand instantly*
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*Looked at their hands and smiled painfully*
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
I am not going anywhere, just bringing some food for you....
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*Softly and made him let go off her hand and walked away*
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
*Looking at her back with teary hurt eyes*
After helping him sit up and lean back, Kashish put the food on over bed table
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*Sat on the chair beside the bed*
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
Eat up, you are very weak...
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*Softly*
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
*Nodded and took the spoon with shaky hands but it fell down*
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*Sighed and grabbed the spoon*
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
Here...
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*Scooped some poridge and gently placed it in front of his mouth*
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
*Felt his heart warm and ate it*
So Kashish started feeding the him gently, while he ate more than he did in past months
After feeding him all the porridge, she gave him the meds doctor left when he came to check on him
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
*Scrunched his face unconsciously seeing the big pills*
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*Smile ever so softly*
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
(💭Still hates them....)
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
Take them....
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*Sternly and put them on his palm*
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
*Looked at the meds for a few secs before reluctantly taking them*
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*Handed him water*
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
*Gulped mouth full of water and nose scrunched*
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*Shook her head and gave him a candy*
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
*Immediately took and ate it*
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*Observing his moves*
For a moment, it felt like they were back to the past, where they were together and spent the days loving and caring for each other
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*Sighed and took the plates and about to go out*
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
*Held her hand and looked at her with shaky scared eyes*
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
We have a lot to talk about, but first let me put these away....
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*Softly and freed her hand from his grip and went out*
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
*Looking at her back*
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*Closed the door gently*
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
*Leaned against the headboard and tears falling*
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
What's happening? We were so happy....
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
And now....
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
You look like the ghost of my Kashish, so cold, so distant, so.... broken....
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
*Mumbled heartbroken and just staring at the door*
Arslan was not able to understand how things changed so fastly? One moment they were happily married, planning their future...
And the next moment, they are beside each other, yet it feels like a wall full of misunderstanding and heartbreak is standing between them
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
But I am sure there's more to everything....
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
I will make sure you become my old Kashish, full of life, full of light....
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
I will make sure, we are back to our times....
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
And....
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
I am not letting you go... even if it means keeping you locked beside me....
Arslan Kashish Wattoo/ML
*Mumbled darkly with determinated eyes*
On the other side, Kashish was looking at an old broken phone in her palm
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*Smiling bitterly and caressing her left wrist*
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
How ironic....
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
You broke everything between us, and yet there you are....
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
Lying in my bed, looking more broken than my own heart?
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
How pathetic of me to actually still feel my heart race for you...
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
To still feel like something can be salvaged between us...
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
But...
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*Heart stopped at the possibility*
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
If it's really something else... then please don't let me be more hurt....
Kashish Arslan Wattoo/FL
*Softly and stood up taking the phone with her and walking to their room*
And so, there she went inside that room, to confront the man who broke her, yet his presence also gave her a hope she didn't want to have, still it was growing each second
