Was her ex better?©️

-Alveera Hafeez

Friendship is the beginning of everything! So was theirs, they were best friends. But he started loving her and one day he proposed her! She was little practical but she knew that saying him no will break him! She accepted him to be her life but she cannot tolerate when he tried to control her. Their fights were big but they cannot live without each other! They both used to have long text conversation but talking with each other would make their mouths dry-up!! They never told anything about each other to anyone. Only they knew what they had in between!!

They were a perfect couple with some highs and lows. They used to spend time with each other, share their tough times and knew each others family. Every thing was going great but you all know a third person breaks everything!!A third person is always a troublemaker between any two people. So was he between them. He was a complete stranger but he fell in love with her at first sight and we all know that love never happens at first sight. It was just a strong attraction towards her. He started talking to her on futile topics,sometimes he even gave her gifts and flowers! She used to consider him as her friend.

One day when she had a fight with her boyfriend. She was depressed and sitting alone on a bench beside a river when suddenly out of the blue someone came and sat along with her. She was deeply disturbed and lost in her thoughts. She didn't see him. He was observing her closely and carefully. He held her hand in his and asked her the reason of her sadness! She became cautious and tried to maintain a gap. But then her emotions started flowing through her eyes! She told everything which happened between them.

He was witty and clever and he knew how to take the advantage of this situation. So he asked her to leave him!And she left him and he started manipulating her mind, but she loved him and can't listen a word against him. They always had a fight if he said something against him. She missed him and he missed her. Both wanted to reunite but he always stopped her. In this commotion and problems that guy proposed her for marriage. She agreed as she wanted to forget him(her ex), she thought marriage will end all the confusions but that wasn't true! The news of their marriage reached his ex's years too and he was shocked. He couldn't believe his ears. He pinched himself but it was the truth. That night he cried and got drunk badly, he decided go leave her and live alone. They happily got married but the girl still felt that something wasn't right. But she silently accepted her destiny!

One day when the door bell rang! She was in the kitchen, cooking lunch. She went to open the door and saw her ex standing out there! She was shocked; for a while she kept on staring him! He looked at her and observed her. She was wearing salwar-kameez just like a normal girl but she was looking beautiful. He came inside, she welcomed him hesitantly. She went inside and made tea. She came out with a tray full with delicacies,tea and water. He drank water and she stood up to offer him snacks but he was terrified to see marks on her hands. He asked while looking at her hands,"What happened??" She hid her hands and said,"Nothing!" She asked him about his life and business. He answered with a smile,"Everything is good but you aren't looking happy!?! You have so many marks on your hands and your face is badly injured!" She said,"I had a bad fall, nothing else happened!" But he knew she was hiding something and she longed to tell him but wasn't able to. Something was stopping her. His suspicion got a blue tick when he asked her to take her leave and she said,"So early!?" But he said,"I have some important work and I will come tomorrow!" She gave a faint smile and became sad after he left! She cried bitterly and wasn't able to stop her tears!

They started meeting on a regular basis and one day when she wasn't able to walk properly,  he asked her,"What happened? Is everything alright?" Something started to wander through her mind and she started crying, her face became red and she wasn't able to stop her tears! He couldn't see this and asked her to tell the reason of her tears. She said,"It is him! He....he...!" and started sobbing again! He hugged her and held her hand in his and sweetly said,"Tell me all!" She said,"It's him,he did this, he does this daily! Every single day he slaps me, beats me and yells on me!" He was shocked and said,"Why don't you tell your mother?" She said,"This was my choice so it's my worries not hers and she won't help me regarding anything!" He said,"But I can and I would! Just tell me do you want to leave that hell and recreate a heaven? Do you?" She thought for a while, wiped her tears and by holding his hand said,"Yes! Yes! I have a plan!" Next day he came to there home! She gave all the certificates, achievements and awards to him. She packed her bag and told the guard that she is leaving for her mother's home and sahi knows about it. Kindly give him these keys and this letter! She left with him! She switched off her mobile phone and destroyed the sim card!

Her husband came late that night. He asked the guard," Why are the lights out?" He said,"Sahib,Malkin left for her mother's home and had asked me to give you this letter and keys!" He said,"Okay! Open the gate!" He went inside and asked the servant to lay the table. He went upstairs to take a shower and after dressing up, he read the letter. It read something like this-

Dear I don't know what to call you,

     Anyways you said you will always be there for me and will always love me! You took vows infront of God but you never kept them! You always tortured me! I had for many nights cried myself to sleep and you broke me! You shattered my soul, my trust, my belief and even me! I wasn't happy but you didn't care and now I don't care about you and your wishes! I am leaving you and your world. In a week, I will send you those papers and all legal documents! In return I want nothing just be happy! Don't try to contact me as I have destroyed the sim!

Ex wife!

It was the biggest fear of him "COURT! No I don't want to! No way! It would take all my dignity and fame!" He was shocked and then tried calling her but her phone was switched off! Now he had no way and the only way was to fight but he was a coward and for a coward this things mean SUICIDE! He loaded his gun and pulled the trigger!

Next morning his ex read this news to him saying "SUICIDE of a man due to dignity!" And she said,"WHAT!" He said,"You are free! Go and build your dreams!" She was happy but had a question on her mind,"Why did he do so?" He told her that the Police found her letter and his suicide note in which he wrote,"COURT is the end of my career!" and shot himself! She hugged him and said,"It means it was his own career and not me! Thank you for saving me from such a selfish man!" He then asked her,"Will you be mine again?" She looked in his eyes the love she always longed for and said,"Yes!Always!"
