Daastan E Ishq - داستانِ عشق

B&W 17.

She's awake.

His heart had fallen at her feet at the sight of her brown eyes. They had looked into those pools of chocolate after such a long time he felt his warmth returning to him.

"Wafa" he breathed kneeling infront of her who stared at him blankly. She blinked several times and after a while pulled her hands out of his hold. Her eyebrows furrowed and her gaze travelled around the room.

"Aapi... Where is aapi? Who are you and where is Safa aapi?" She stuttered looking around frantically.

"You... You don't know who I am?" He asked. His heart sank when she shook her head and looked at him curiously.

"Am... ammi? Where is my family?" She asked making him fall back on the cold floor.

"Wafa. You seriously don't remember me?" His voice broke making her look at him confused.

"I'm sorry but who are you?" She asked shaking with anxiety.

"I'm Buraak. Wafa. Your Buraak" he said loudly making her flinch back. He held her hands with tears in his eyes but that look in her eyes was tearing his heart apart.

"Can...can you please call my aapi? Maybe she'll know you" she said scooting away from his hold.

She didn't know who this man was. She didn't understand what relation she had with him or how he even knew her.

"I... I'll be back. Okay don't be scare" he strutted on his words walking away from her confused self.

He hurriedly went out to look for her doctor and had ran upto him when he found him on round.

"Doctor" he called making the other man stop and turn to him.

"Yes Buraak?" The man in the white coat asked.

"Wafa" he breathed "she doesn't remember anything. What's going on?" He asked making tht doctor place a hand over his shoulder and sigh.

"It must be temporary memory loss." The doctor mumbled to himself.

"But.. what?" He asked confused and hurt.

"Under the state of shock she has forgotten her most recent memories. It's a side effect many patients go through after such accidents. I'll check up on her only then I can confirm this thought." the doctor informed.

"When... When will she go back to being normal? I mean when will she remember everything?" Buraak asked breathless, his shoulders dropped and heart shattered.

She doesn't know who I am to her.

"It's unpredictable, but you can always hope for a faster recovery. Just don't purposely trigger any sensitive memories." The doctor left him standing lifelessly in the hallway, he blinked his pain away and took in a deep breath before walking back to her.

He slowly opened the door only to find her sitting just as he had left her. She looked up with hopeful eyes, but her eyes dimmed when they didn't find anyone with him.

"Where's aapi? You went to call her right?" Her voice as soft as he had heard the first time, his heart clenched and so his fists.

How do I tell her about Safa?

"Safa" he started but she cut him off with a bright smile.

"You know her. When's she coming to take me?" She asked unknown to what her words did to his heart.

"Safa. She's out of town for a while. You whole family is actually." He said gulping the truth down.

They're away. Just way too far away.
