27 Ism sorry (2/2)
”My mother made it for me . ” She glanced at him and covered herself
”Only because your mom made it .”
”Hmm or else would you throw it ?”
”Probably .”
” That's sad. Anyways I know I didn't thank you for what you did instead I scolded you . You did a great job . I ignored what you said I should have heard you properly. ” She kept looking to her right . Zen was on her left . He tried to hold her hand but she took it away .
”To see a person who is always blabbering speechless is kinda painful you know ” He said and Alisha glared at him . Her look was frightening.
” I mean talk ... you ... talk ..your sweet talk I mean ... come on Alisha listen to me don't look away ! Fine... I'll do whatever you want . Happy ? ... ” There was no response and he felt like he was making a fool out of himself.
”The stars are pretty aren't they ?”
”There are no stars today !”
”Ohhh ... yes .. The clouds .yes they are pretty big today ”
”So what ? ”
”Ummm ... I thought that's the way we say it alright I'm bad at this ! Enough already Alisha . You have to understand my health isn't good . I lose myself if I take excessive stress . I'm on medication. I know I said some horrible things I shouldn't have but.....”
”Wow glad you realised atleast is that all?”
”Look I'm ... I...I'm . really.. .so..sorry ! I'm sorry . How many times you want me to say it ?” Alisha paused for a moment .
”No. I'm sorry . It all happened because of me . I should have explained you beforehand . I tried to but it didn't quite happen that way . ” Her eyes softened. Zen smiled at her. She easy easygoing after all
”Alright we both are at fault here . So let's just forget what happened . I know I can compensate by treating you tell me what do you want ? Anything at all !”
”I already have everything . What I really want is for you to accept me wholeheartedly as your wife . That is all .”
”Really ? That I did long back Alisha . Else I would never have had the strength to fight for you . ”
”You are asking me something forthe first time. I won't let go this opportunity. So can you tell me about the girl ....”
”Which girl ?” Zen questioned.
”Saraha . I mean I want to know about her . ”
”Ohh sure thing I'll tell you ”
”Is it okay ?”
”Ofcourse . You have to know about her . She was a very prominent part of my past after all. Saraha haan ? It's been a long time I heard her name . ” And so Zen began the tale of his past which he had buried within himself 3 years back .
