40 Chapter 40, Realizing his feelings

After the shooting, he went to the bungalow immediately. When he got there, he rang the door bell, but no one opened the door. Then he got a duplicate key out of his car, opened the door himself and entered.

But only silence and darkness welcomed him. The whole house was empty and silent.

Thinking that she must have gone out for her work, he called her from his mobile. Which was picked up on the second ring.

"Hello, Huzaifa, I am in an important shooting. I will call you later." Before he could say a word, the call was cut off from the other side.

Huzaifa angrily threw his mobile on the bed and held his head in both hands.

Ever since he returned from the village, his days have been similarly restless, and so despite his fatigue, he spends all his time shooting. But after finishing his shooting, his condition would again be like that of a lost traveler in the desert who could do nothing but wander alone.

Though, Moomal has cleared him of the misconception that she does not love Zayn, his heart has become even more restless instead of calm because now he was making an ignorant wish which he could not understand. Or he didn't want to understand what it was saying.

The restlessness that was spreading inside him was growing with each passing moment. He did not understand what he was doing, what he wanted. He was feeling down. And that's why he wanted to come to Ruby to keep a tight leash on his emotions, but perhaps it was not in his destiny.

He doesn't know how long he was motionless sitting on the bed in the same dark room, holding his head where his mind was surrounded by so many thoughts.

He was in a strange state, he had a storm inside him. His mind was not knowing what he was thinking or imagining. And in each of these ideas, there was only one face that did not leave him alone for once.

Zayn's threats were ringing in his head, and even though he didn't want to, his heart was pounding at the thought of him taking Moomal away from him.

Even on his refusal, all these feelings were forcing him to accept that the passion he felt for Moomal was not just friendship, but something very special, something that made him act like someone else. Imagination that forces him to burn everything to ashes, something he never felt for Ruby.

But why all of a sudden...?

What is this..? The first time in his life, seeing her in someone else's arms, the fear to loose Moomal was burning his heart.

The heart that was in this arrogance that he was the most important person in her life, only he was the one whom she think about in the morning and in the last hour of the night.

But afteWithr this realization that Moomal is not his property, and if she ever fell in love with someone else, she could always leave him for her love, his arrogance had turned into the fear that is eating him alive.

No! No one can take her away from him.

And this fear had put in him many dormant emotions which he had been unaware of for so many years, or which he had unknowingly considered to be mere friendships. Which he never valued.

And if it's all love..?

Then what about Ruby..?

His feelings for her?

Wandering in the jungles of his thoughts, he did not know how long it had been. The sun of the day had set in the west. But he just sat there. But then someone put a hand on his shoulder.

He was startled, and raised his head, looked at the person standing in front of him.

The whole room was now shone with light, and Ruby's beautiful face was full of worry.

"Huzaifa, What's the matter, why are you so upset, and why are you sitting in the dark like this...?" Ruby asked in a worried tone.

He took a deep breath and shook his head. "nothing"

At his flat reply, Ruby sat down next to him and held his face with both her hands. "There's something that is bothering you. Tell me, perhaps I can help you." Ruby's tone was quite soft and understanding at the time. She was looking at him with loving eyes.

But now, Huzaifa just wanted solitude. He gently remoher hands from his face. "I have a headache and nothing else." He took off his boots and unbuttoned his cuffs and shirt and lay down on the same bed. "I'm sleepy, turn off the room lights."

Ruby stared at his back for a moment. She's not a stupid person who could not understand this conflict of his. But she can't let him get away from her in any way.

She knew what to do now. With a sigh, she got up and turned off all the lights in the room except the lamp on her side of the bed. And went to the bathroom to change.
