The sun was setting on the horizon as I stood there ,staring at the smodat the smoldering ruins of my life .
I never thought I could feel so alone untill the day he left me . just like that , my heart was shattered into millions of pieces , and I was left to pick them up all by self but i wont break , I will show him how strong I can be ....
....Atleast I thought that ........Untill he came back to ruin the rest of me
I thought I had moveon .I thought I had left him and all the pain he had caused me behind . but then he came back in my life ,and everything changed .Suddenly , I was back to square one , feeling all the hurt and bretrayl as if it had just happened yesterday , And the worst part? he didnt even seemed to care .He came back to my life as if nothing happened , As if he hadn't left me alone and broken. But this time I wont let him break me again ! He will se the girl he ahd never seen before
He will see Zoya Ahmed Khan !

Thye sun was setting on the dusty streets of alhore as I made my way through the bustling bazaar. The air was thick with the scent of spices and the sound of hawkers calling out their wares. It was in the chaotic world that I first laid my eyes on him. He was standing there in his full glory , talking to someone ...Someone I cant see because all I can see is him .The monster who ruined my life years ago . My eyes Met with his green Emeralds and the world stop but then all the memories came flooding in my mind ! How he left me without a word of explanation or goodbye . And yet he was here looking at me with those same piercing eyes that had once made my heart skip a beat .I felt a wave of anger and hurt flash over me .
I turne and ran, my heart pounding in my chest . I didnt knew where I was going but I knew I could'nt face him , not now . I heard my cousing calling my name but I didnt stop . I just kept running untill I was out of breath and my legs ached . Finally I collapsed on the steps of a nearby mosque tears streaming down my face i cried my heart out infront of Allah the one who listens but never judges ,And so I stayed there , untill the sun came out .
As I sat there lost in the thoughts , I heard footsteps aproaching . I looked up to see my brothers standing there, concern atched on their faces. They had been serching for me
Ahmed : "Zoi , What happened back there ? Why did you run away like that ?"
Zoya : " Nothing bhai jan (elder brother ) I just ....I saw someone I didn't want to see , and I got scared "
Ahmed :" Someone? Who? Was it that guy ? "
Zoya : What guy ?I .... I dont ..know ..what you are talking about " I saud trying to look confident whaile I was trembling from inside . Did bahi jan really saw him
Oh Allah what will I do now ?
Ahmed : " Dont play dumb with me I saw the ay you looked at him . Is he the reason you ran away ?" Ya Allah he saw him ! What should I do now.I cant tell him anything right now. No its not the right time .
ZOYA : " No , ofcourse not . I just .... I don'twant to talk about it , Okay ? Can we please just go home ?
Ahmed " Whatever itsis Zoi you will never have to face it alone . We are a family remember we stick together " He said patting her head lovingly
