CHAPTER 9

HAYAT POV:

The car I loved the most was damaged, the extensive damage has turned my beautiful black car into pieces, I can't even drive it now, I'll need to repair it and repairing means a lot of time, I don't know if my car will be able to be repaired here in Pakistan, I'll see it but I won't cry over it, I won't cry, I told myself but felt warm water on my cheeks, it was my mistake and the other person got injured too because of me, I should have not ignored the red light signal, I should have waited for the other person to cross the road, in my rage to run away from everything I ruined someone else life.....

I looked behind my back and saw a man kneeling on the ground in front of his bike, might that bike hold a lot of memories, just like mine, might he loved the bike more than anything, I could feel his pain as I lost my car too, but it was my mistake, I feel guilty and sorry yet I can't do anything anymore...I could see his body shivering from all the crying...

I did not want to be anyone's misery reason anymore, yet here I am... I went towards him, he might outburst his anger or pain at me since I was at fault, but taking a deep breath I said "Some things are meant to go, and we should let them go, too. Move on is important, hmm, don't forget the thing you once loved a lot, cherish the memories but try to move on to make new memories, and don't let your past make you feel suffocated, I'm sorry for the mistake I made, I should have waited at the signal before the light turn green, please forgive me" I said and waited.... I stood behind him, waiting for his outburst but it didn't happen....after what felt like an hour I turned around and found Ashar there standing just at some distance shocked, I looked at him and then the man kneeling on the ground, pointing my finger at Ashar I mouthed "brother?" To which he nodded his head, I looked at the man on the ground for the last time and mouthed "sorry" to Ashar.....silently walking away.....

Chachu was on a phone call when I came to his car with the help of Chachi. Getting inside the car, chachu looked at me and patted my head saying "Do not think about what Ali said! You have me and Chachi by your side right now and always will, so now give me a beautiful smile, my little warrior" I smiled knowing whatever he said, he meant it too, I looked out of my window and said, "I did it again chachu, I made another person cry, I again destroyed another person life." ... no tears came out of my eyes as I looked outside. Hearing Chachu sigh, I closed my eyes and dazed off...

We went home, and I locked myself in my room, not wanting to come out... I wanted some time alone, just for myself, I was not ready to face any other person after the accident...

It has been two weeks since I have locked myself in my room, I do miss outings in my car, but it's okay, I can use one of Chachu's cars for going anywhere till I get my own back. "Little warrior, where are you? Come out! Look what I have gotten you little warrior" I heard my chachu calling me and coming out of my room to see him beaming in happiness. He had his hand hiding behind him, holding something, I guess "Chachu you got something for me," I asked smiling a little, knowing the happiness and smile my chachu was giving me, I have always loved surprises, and chachu gives the best surprise...

"Close your eyes first and open them when I say so, okay," He said with excitement and hopeful eyes, I nodded and closed my eyes and opened them when he said to. Looking in front of me, he was holding a toy car in his hand, I looked at the car and smiled at him.

The black car was so beautiful, it was a Mercedes Benz G Wagon miniature, I looked at the car happily and took it from his hand, scanning the car, I saw a paper at the back attached to it and I was shocked reading what was written on it "I couldn't find the replacement of AMG gt but I got this instead for you, hope my little warrior will like it and I hope you can take us on a ride too, go out and look at your car, we hope you will like it" I had tears in my eyes, looking at my chacha chachi, as they gave me a nod and I ran outside...

I saw the car there standing with a red colour ribbon bow at the front of it, I smiled and looked at my back and ran back to my only family and hugged them tightly. "This is too expensive chachu, you should not have gotten this for me. How will I pay you back? You guys are spoiling me," I said, whining a little, still attached to them...

They encircled their hands around me and I heard Chachu say "Your chacha earns a lot of money and has no one to spend the money on, your chachi loves simplicity and my little warrior just loves cars and can I not get her that?? I can and I will spoil my baby a lot, you need to now fulfil my one wish" I detached myself from them and looked at Chachu "Take admission in a university little warrior, I want to see you successful" That was all he wanted me to do, I can do it, and I'm working on it too...

"chachu I have already decided to be admitted to Iqra University, all the documents are ready I just need to transfer myself there, I'll go there as soon as I can," I said smilingly, looking at my new car I started imagining all the things I want to do with my new car by my side.....
