CHAPTER 9 


I started to work on my cafe again. Momo is slowly recovering and I think I can go back to my old home soon. I hope we will soon come to know why Noor is so unhappy.


" Can I have a cup of coffee please " as I turned I saw Sam standing near the counter? He is wearing casual dress looking so damn hot.


" Hii ! handsome how are you ? " I asked. Man missed him. As I came out he gave me a huge hug. Whenever I face problem I turn towards him. He is really my good friend. 


" Wow so nice service giving hug to customers , nice ! Beautiful ! What else is available here? I am so interested now. " He said in a very playful voice. This guy is always so flirty. 


" sam you came here early in the morning just to flirt with me ? " he gave me a sly smile and sat on the counter and told " No just came to see how love is blooming between you two. " I hate him.


I pushed him down the counter and dragged him near a table so that he can sit and told " you know that's not going to happen right. " I sat with him.


" you can never be too sure with love. Trust me and when the person is your childhood love .........nope can't escape danger. " he said with a smirk on his face. 


" For once can't you stop speaking nonsense? " I asked him irritatedly and that amused him even more. He is a jerk I tell you. 


" Nope that will not be me . Well I didn't came to irritate you today I came to inform you something which can bring a huge Change in your life so be careful . " he said with a serious tone. our coffee came and this guy didn't flirt with the waitress. OK what's going on? 


" On a serious note are you okay? I am worried now. " I asked him and he laughed nervously than got silent. 


" I am marrying your friend joy. I proposed her she agreed. " OK I am dreaming. No its a dream. The legend of our group . The most valuable Playboy getting married. I am dreaming. 


" No way when did that happened? Who fall in love first and why I don't know about it? " I have so many questions. 


" listen it happened yesterday and you are the first person I am informing. I made her promise not to tell you before me. So I am your best friends soon to be husband now. " he said with a grin. 


We chatted for an hour about his upcoming marriage. Joy will have to explain herself. Really she loved him ? The Playboy? Life is so strange. 

With that piece of news I came home and saw asad and momo playing chess. And they are arguing like kids.


 But Noor is sitting in distance lost in her thoughts. Bella came forward to rub her back on my legs so I had to scratch her for ears for a bit. " Sweetheart you missed me right ....you missed me " I rubbed her stomach and she lied on the ground just like a cat for more belly rubs. so I amused her a little. Asad watched us with amusement. 


Then I went to sit with Noor and Bella rested her head on my lap. Time changes so fast few days ago I would have ranned away from her but today I am sitting right next to Bella. When I knew asad and momo are not listening I started a conversation with Noor. 


" You want to join us dear ? This boy is cheating too much help me dear . " said momo with a smile. 


" No thank you I would like to sit and gossip with Noor you carry on and asad no cheating. " I scolded him with a smile . " Girl that's not how you scold , you are spoiling my boy with love.....but young man if you cheat next time than I will beat you with my stick " said momo . Asad promised not to cheat again and dragged her attention back in the game. 


" Let's see how you win ? " whatever he says I know at the end he will let her win so that he can give her happiness. I sat with Noor. Its correct time for the conversion between me and Noor. 


" Noor what's wrong with you? Why are you so upset ? Wouldn't you tell your bhabi about it? " she tried to change the conversation by proposing to watch a movie together , she thought I will not sit with her for long and leave her on her own but this time I was also ready. 



1 hour later 





" Sahara we are going to eat ice cream you want some ? " asked asad. Its a perfect time to converse with Noor . 


" Chocolate ice cream . " I said . he nodded and went out with momo. As soon as they went out I renewed my conversation with Noor again.


" Noor I am really worried for you please tell me what's wrong with you. " I asked her , her silence is killing me. 


" OK I will tell you but promise me you will not tell about it to anyone else. Its our secret OK. " she said in a whisper. I promised her that I will honour her request. 


" Well I love someone who never loved me like I do. I know him from childhood and always dreamed to marry him but he doesn't love me and now I came to know that he is marrying someone else. " she told in a broken tone , her eyes filled with tears and who that can be ?????? Hope not sam. 


" Who is that guy ? " I asked her in a whisper. I am so worried now. My heart is racing so fast. 


" sam " and that one word broke the ground beneath my feet. Why ? Why sam ?


" But....he is marrying... he ever told you that he loves you . Has he ever given you hope to believe that you can have him. " I asked her. Sam better not cheat two people of my life whom I love the most or I will kill him. Her eyes became teary. 


" No he didn't and its not his fault that I like him. I want to see him Happy and I want to move forward in life but it hurts so bad. You can understand my problem since you are the traveller of the same road. " Indeed I am. 


" But I will never think about him again. I want joy to be happy. I need your help to forget him....this pain is suffocating me...I am hurt ." she finally broke down in tears. She lied in my lap and cried for hours and than slept. God why you are testing me only? What have I done to you ? Its a war between friendship and sister ship what should I do? I don't want to break any ones heart. 


Asad came back with ice cream. And saw her sleeping in my lap. I told him to take her in our room. If I had to keep my friendship than I have to take extra care of her. She should never feel that she is lonely. I will take extra care of her. 


Asad laid her in our bed and we sat on either sides. Asad wanted to know about her secret but I guess its not my secret to share with him so I guess I have to hide it from him . Another lie between us. 


" Thank you so much for caring for my sister " said asad. I don't know how he does it but with every word he make me realize that I don't belong in his family , our lifes are separate .


" You don't have to thank me . Noor is like my sister only. " and as long as I am here I will make sure that no one ever hurts her . That's my promise to myself.




CHAPTER 10 . 




" can you please tell me what's going on with sam ? " asked asad. I am not going to tell him so soon. 


" It's a secret I can't share with you. " I said to him . But he made such a cute face that I was forced to tell him the truth. He is so schoked. 


" sam ....our sam is what ??? I can't believe it. Even that guy is marriage material. Like really I literally saw him changing girlfriend like we change cloths and that also your best friend joy. No offense but she is too plain to seduce him. That means its ....can we meet her ? " how dramatic. 


" My friend is not that bad okay. Yes you can meet joy she is coming over for her shopping . " he nodded still laughing.


" What ? " I asked him , this guy acts so strange sometimes what to Say I mean he sometimes is so serious and sometimes he will laugh for nothing. I sometimes think why I fell for him in the first place. 


" I still remember him saying love is like fever if you take proper medicine it will stay for three days but if you neglect it then fever will climb in your head and make you worthless. So never let it get in your head. " he said still laughing , really that guy is too much. 


" we were so close that people use to think that we are a couple and sam use to take such advantage from about it. He would show me to the girls whom he doesn't want as girlfriends and to them whom he wants to breakup with . " yes I was like a shield to him. 


" And you did as he use to say why ? Cause you are good friend? Nope best friends are never that kind hearted what he use to do for you ? " he asked . 


" He use to do projects for me , lie to my parents, take me to parties, bring gifts for me , save me from bullies, and bring your pictures. " shit did I just said that ( yes you did ) why ? Oh god ! I am doomed. Lucifer please break the earth I am coming, oh angles have mercy on me and please take me with you. 


" He use to what ??? Excuse me ! What ???" Oh god I am gone. I am a mess ( I am a loser) I am not singing ( Nor am I ) . 


" Nothing , just came out my mouth by mistake. That's why we were best friends. " I told while trying hard to sound casual but god please help.


He looks so amused by the sudden turn of the conversation. He asked again " why you wanted my pictures ? Having a crush on me or something? " God help .


" what ??? No ,No I did not. I didn't even knew you that well. I wanted to say .....someone's picture but it became you....so....here is joy finally. " I am so relived , thank god she came in time.


" Hi! What is going on? " she asked with a naughty tone. Really that's my friend?? Hate her. 


" you tell us. Marriage and all that also with sam nice. When all of this things started? Who fall first ? Who proposed? I have so many questions. " asked asad . she laughed at his endless questions .


" so curious but I have to go for shopping so can't entertain you but we can do something. Asad you take me for shopping and sahara help sam with his things. He wants to talk with you. " said joy .sam wants to talk why ? Does he knows about Noor ?


" sounds good to me " said asad. I nodded in response. She looks really happy. God please keep her Happy. 


" OK you go than have a great day and I will see what sam wants. My friend finally marrying I am super Happy. " I gave her a small hug . They left , now its time to meet my idiot.



Sam's House 



Sam was waiting for me in his house. He looks quick serious what happened? Love changed him or am I dreaming? May be he is a changed man now that he is in love. 


" sam " he saw me approach him and came to give me a hug. But his hug is different today. He grabbed me very tight as if his life depends on it. I am getting a sad vibe from him. What's wrong with him ?


" Sam you OK. Hey what's wrong ? Tell me. " we sat together and he is still holding my hands. His eyes are so sad like he is ashamed of something. 


" sahara I am going to share a secret with you and I want you to listen me carefully with calm mind....and you must known that I am not responsible for what I happened okay. I never knew about it . " okay now this is getting serious.


" what happened sam?" Why is he shaking? Whats wrong with him. Something tells me we are going to have a bumpy ride story here....hope its not something super messed up. 


" I from our old friend David came to know that Noor loves me but trust me I never encouraged her , I never gave her hope , even she never confessed but I feel so bad for her now . please don't think bad about me . " he said. okay he is not joking??? What ? Wow I mean why ? 


" I know you love her and take care of her as your sister but Joy is my first love . And you know I can be a flirt but I am not a bad person , will you talk with her ? " he asked with worried tone. 


" Don't worry , she has family to take care of her okay. You just focus on your marriage OK. She told me about the situation and I don't think you are at fault so don't worry I will manage her. She is young now she will soon overcome the grief and be lively again. " I ensured him but I don't how I have to make plans with asad about it. 


" That's good than , but are you sure it wouldn't effect our friendship ? Asad wouldn't mind ? And ...." he sounds so confused. I never saw him this confused ever. 



" see we are childhood friends and nothing can break our friendship. we have faced difficult times, have taken wrong decisions but our friendship will never change. " I said with a smile. 


" Thank you so much. " he smiled sweetly. " Finally I also got the love of my life and now I want her to be happy. I don't know how she loved a bad boy like me ?" he told . He looks genuinely happy , so love has finally blessed him and I am happy about it. 


" Cause bad boys are sexy but that will not finish your wedding shopping sooner so shall we go ? " he was a little surprised but than nodded.


" crap I almost forgot let's go . " he grabbed his card and keys we are ready to leave. 


His phone ringed he picked that up and froze. Okay what happened? He looks concerned. His phone slipped from his hands and broke into pieces. 


" The mall...the mall where asad and joy went is on fire ..we must go now hurry. " he pulled my arm. 


I am confused. I don't know what is going on inside me right now. All I know is that I can't lose him .



CHAPTER 11




" My mind went blank. The crowd is shouting so much. There is fire brigade , police and media. They are saying that maximum people came out alive from that fire but some are hurt very much and two people died. I tried Asad's phone but he didn't piked up my call than I tried to call joy but her phone was silent too. MY Head is spinning . GOD please keep them safe.


" Sahara ...." from the crowd joy rushed towards us sam gave her a tight hug . Her condition is not that bad , just few injuries which will be fine soon . 


" where is Asad joy ? wasn't he with you ? Where is he ? " I asked her . she is still in sam's embrace. Her yes are blinking . Poor girl got very scared. 


" He was with me but than the crowd increased and I lost him. I was looking for him only when I saw you guys. lets go and look for him again. " she said in a very weak tone. 


We started looking for Asad again. But with zero success. Sam went to an officer to talk and came back with a grave face " The officer told to see the dead bodies before doing any further investigation. " his words were like atom boom braking my heart. 


We almost ranned near the ambulance where the bodies were kept. The door is widely open so that people can come and investigate whether they knows the dead bodies or not. White cloths covering the bodies. 


" sahara we have to do it come on . " said sam but his voice is shaking . Even he is afraid about what is going to happen next. 


I with my trembling hand tried to uncover one body to see but my courage didn't allowed me to do so. " I can't do it ..... I just can't do it. " I sat near the van crying my heart out. 


" We are with you sahara just do it. I know its hard and your heart is breaking but you have to do this. " said joy . She sat beside me and hugged me tightly. 


" sorry to interrupt but who died ? " a sudden voice surprised us. As we turned we saw Asad standing all confused. with a look on his face like ' what the hell is going on here ? Who died here ? ' 


" Thank god man you are fine we were worrying for you and thought you died " sam said as he hugged him. Even joy hugged him but my senses are not working. I almost froze where I was. Did I started to go crazy so quickly ? 


" Get up . why are you sitting down. " said sam while helping me up than pinched me on my hand I jumped out of pain. Hey ! Its real Asad is alive. 


" Let's give these love birds time and let's go and have something nice to eat. " said sam and left with joy. 


" Hey ! Let's go home okay . " said asad and I nodded obidently. As we reached home Asad took a shower and I sat with Bella playing with her. She is so naughty these days. 


" My goodness the fire was so huge I thought I am going to die. I even panicked because I thought joy died and tried my best to find her. Than a officer told me to check the dead bodies where I saw you. Never thought I will see you again. " he said that and that's it I can't do it anymore. His words striked my poor heart so bad . I hugged him tightly. 


" Hey ! What's wrong ? " he asked bit surprised by my resent behavior. 


" I was so scared . I thought I lost you forever. I lost my parents in fire but I don't want to lose you. I..I love you. " he pushed me a little to look at my face and than told " you..how? " I smiled.


" I never hated you to began with , its just a pain , my heart which was hurt started to ignore you but love was still their in some corner hidden which I don't have the strength to hide anymore " he gave me a even tighter hug. 


" Four years . I waited four years to hear that. Of course I did many mistakes and never treasured you but from now I will always treasure you. I will love you more and never gave your place to anyone cause I can never imagine a world without you. " I am so happy. Finally I got my life back. 


Bella roared loudly. Asad laughed and told " yes I love you too. Both of you are my family and my life. " hmm let's tease him. 


" Hubby you love me more or her ? " I asked with a innocent gaze like its just a normal question. 


" Its a head ace ...." He said so dramatically that I laughed really hard and hugged him . I laughed liked that after five years. Life is really changing for me and I am loving it.





2 weeks later - 



" we are getting late will you hurry up " I called asad again. I took a shower got ready , did my makeup and that man is still sleeping. I called him several times but who listens me. 


He grabbed me by my waist and dragged me near him " Good morning beautiful. " he lied lazily on my shoulder. 


" Good afternoon hubby . Now get ready , if we became late than joy will kill me for sure. " I pushed him towards bathroom. 


" You are looking so pretty beautiful . I can't take my eyes from you. " he slowly whispered in my ear. Okay , literally I don't have time for his flirting. 


" Okay , now get up or we will be late. " I pushed him towards the bathroom. Than I sat with my phone to call my friend. 


" Bhabi can I get in " asked Noor from door. She is looking stunning with her red lahanga and simple makeup. 


" come in. Wow looking amazing. " she smiled and stood with me for some time than told " Bhabi tomorrow I am going back to London. Probably never to return. You have to promise me that you will keep my secret and not stop me from going. " what ? asad will be so sad. 


" okay but why leave us alone ? Don't we love you? " I asked her . she smiled and told " of course you do and I love you too , its just that I need time to heal myself , support myself emotionally which I can't do here hope you understand." well that's true. 


" well , okay but don't forget that we love you and if you need anything than we are always here for you. " I told her and gave her a huge hug. Its going to be tough time for us all. 


Noor ( POV) 


The pandal is nicely decorated. Sam is roaming around looking at the decoration. 


" Hey ! Little beauty you are just in time where is your brother and Bhabi ? " he asked with a smile. 


" They went to meet with joy. Congratulations you are getting married. " I said with a straight face . can't show him my breaking heart. 


" Hmmm. So good you came here now you can in my team when they will start rituals tomorrow. Your bhabi she was my friend but now look at her , she is just roaming with her husband and when she will be here I am sure she will team up with joy , so please team up with me please. " he said excitedly. 


" I don't think so that will be possible I am leaving today by nights flight. " I replied with a small smile . Today I came here to show my

 troublesome heart that you are no longer mine. I don't have any right to love you.


" you don't have to do this you known.... " he said with a serious face. His gaze so sharp they can read any hidden things from your mind. 


" That's why I have to. Something can't be avoided. Something you always have to do even though you don't like to do it. " I told him and He gave me a I know what you mean look.  


" okay than. I wouldn't stop you. But remember one thing you are my best friend. Okay , nothing can change that and if you ever need help than I will always be their for you. " he said and I nodded with a fake smile. 


" so fake ....make it real give it a try . " said sam . God why he understands me so nicely. 


" Here you go happy ? " I smiled with all my energy. He nodded with positive disappointment. 


" Jhooti tu kamse kam jhoot bolna tu Sikh le ( liar atleast learn how to lie. " he said in Hindi. The language that we learned together. 


" Ankhe kiu dekhta hu ? Jubaan tu muskura rahi hai na , tu akho main kya dhoonda ta hu ? ( why are you looking at my eyes ? My lips are smiling than why are you trying to read my eyes? ) " I asked him. 


" Sabakhar jaan. " he said and I smiled again , we shaked hands and that's it. 


Well our discussion ended here. Its almost time so they started to arrange for the wedding. My heart started to ache. Every ritual almost gave me a heart attack but I can't cry here. 


I saw my brother and Bhabi all lovey dovey. Well all seems to be happy. Its time for me to leave than.



Sahara. ( POV )



" Have you seen Noor ? " asked asad. well I have not seen her long time. " I don't know... she was with me than she told she is hungry and went to eat and after that I have not seen her. " I told while trying to ring her several times but she didn't pick up my calls. I am having panic attacks now. we were really busy during the wedding so we didn't noticed when she just left. Now that the crowd has got cleared and we four are left standing we noticed her absence. 


" I saw her durning the rituals and when everything ended she walked towards the food court. " said Joyashri. Asad asked a waiter weather he has seen any girl walking towards the food court and he informed us that one lady left the party through the back door which is near the food court.  


" I called Bob to see if she went home or something and he informed me that noor did went home than she left near 10: 30 p.m saying that she is going back London and told ask momo why she left " said asad with a heavy voice , I could see tears in his eyes . Sam looks so guilty but I know its not his fault , its just the situation is bad . 


" I called a friend of mine who works at the airport she told me that today their is no flight for London. And she is dead right about it. " Joyashri said to us.' If not London than where can she go ? ' that's the only question asad and others are thinking about. 


" Asad I think we should consider that she is as an adult and I think we should give her time to explore , to know herself. let's go home and talk with momo. " I told him. He nodded and walked towards the door absent mindedly. I hugged joy and congratulated her again than I congratulated sam. 


" I am so sorry. " he whispered. " Its not your fault . I believe staying away from here can help her a lot to heal so its going to be good. You relax , its not your fault . " I comforted him than walked out of the hotel. Noor my love stay safe and healthy. And your secret will remain safe with me . ' The reason I suggested you to go Kolkata rather than London , hope that turns in your favor and you have a good life. '
