The noticeable grin swept away,
The aura, The charm subsided,
The place turned gloomy,
The place turned unexpectedly quiet,
The discomfort and awkwardness reached its peak,
The thin air was getting thicker and was ready to suffocate the hell out of the person sitting there.
Then was the time when she entered with a smile, with a new enthusiasm.
Her aura demanded attention, the attention which she received the moment she walked in.
The clicking of her silhouettes screamed,
She was silent all over the time reaching her space,
But all the eyes were on her, without blinking.
As if they are in some kind of magic spell, astonished with her presence.
Her presence screamed the calmness,
The calmness, gentleness, kindness hidden behind those striking eyes, which is loss of emotions.
Her emotions was died but,
But didn't stopped the attention which she usually gets.
Finally a soft yet authoritative voice boomed in the silence hall,
Making every gentlemen in there shiver out of fear.
Good afternoon everyone.
Hope I didn't made you all wait a lot.
They shook their head in no. They knew about her temper, they wanted to be in her good books, so they stayed quiet until they were asked to speak.
May I have your attention!? Eyes on the screen not on me. Got it!?
Her voice boomed again with a tint of annoyence when she noticed every eyes on her.
Immideately, the ordered of her was followed as if she own them.
She was working genuinely hard on these projects which were mere distractions of her, Owning a well known brand, a company, it wasn't necessary for her to work. She is nothing less than a celebrity. Soon the meeting came to an end. She walked royally out of those classy windows which screamed luxury. She walked through the hallway to reach her specialized cabin which she designed herself. She became the perfect example of "Beauty With Brain". Her intimidating aura was just for the world but inside Her World was ruined. It was crushed brutally into pieces that one couldn't count.

A painful wind blown, there stood a tall guy, with those deadly honey brown eyes, messy jet black hairs with a model body in a three piece black outfit staring at her building which says " Sunshine Enterprises". He smiled little looking at the choice of the company's name making a mental note of meeting her took the best out of him. Unknowingly his feet made its way inside the company passing throygh those sophisticated, classy cabins. Every cabin was arranged so properly that he was astonished to even say a wow! I never saw this before in my life. As he made his way through the lift. He was hitted with a different kind of lavender rose fragrance, He never knew that just a fragrance can actually make him feel all giddy. He wanted to inhale more of it. He followed the fragrance all throughout the building and at last stopped at the door where the name plate said "Sunshine Here". He gently knocked as he was not in his senses but still managed to do so as barging in would ruin his reputation infront of the owner. He heard a faint yet authoritative “come in” from inside. He made his way through the door and was awestruck by the beauty sitting infront lf her. Raven black hairs tied in a messy bun and few of the baby hairs gently touching her slightly rose pink cheeks, a reading glass was on her eyes and she was boring holes in her laptop as if unknown to the presence of someone coming inside, sitting with crossed legs and time to time shaking her head to and fro when she doesn't understand anything as if trying to clear out the spaces which were getting filled. Her button like knows, Her perfect side view, Her traditional wear was just Too beautiful for him to not skip a beat. It was a torture for his heart. He never imagined a beautiful girl like her to be sitting on that chair. He was here to ruin the owner but here he ruined himself by just getting a glimpse of her.
A snap of fingers boomed acrossed the silence room making him come out from his delusional world. She gestured him to take a seat infront of her and started speaking.

Sunshine: Welcome to Sunshine Enterprises the World of Beauty. I am Ameera Gulzar. Aapki tareef?

Guy: Beautiful name for a gorgeous girl. I am impressed. Is na cheez ko Haider Yousuf kehte hai. Nice to meet you Ms.Gulzar.

and stretched his hand for hand shake but unfortunately she didn't shaked hands with him instead she said.

Ameera: Nice to meet you too Mr. Yousuf. Mind telling me about your sudden appearance? As far as I know you and I are completely different in our business. What does electronics will help in your those kinds of high facilitated industry?

Haider: Calm down Ms. Gulzar. I was here to warn you but instead my plans got changed and here I am to invest in your company.

Ameera: Oh interesting. The well known Mr Haider Yousuf was here just to warn me. Care to explain what you to warn me of? and one more thing I don't need any kinds of investment from your side.

Haider: let's just forget for what I came for. let's make a collab of something useful.

Ameera: Please the way to out is right there ( pointing at the door) you can actually go. I am not interested in your offer. thank you for the precious time Mr. Yousuf.

Haider: Okay. Thankyou Ms.Gulzar. Just think about the proposal and let me know after wards.

He placed his card on her desk and walked out of her cabin and closed it with a thud and left.
Meanwhile, Ameera was too stunned with this gorgeous man to even think straight. She wanted to work with him but she knows attachments are not her thing that's what she did. She Rejected his proposal in short she rejected him.

5 years later,


The person who managed to make her heart skip a beat was so close yet so far from her. The charm her aura had died after that sudden proposal and rejection thing. She lost her every single thing. She knew she ruined it herself. Just because she got to know that he wanted to see her shattered and here she was sitting on a mountain shattered. just like the way he wanted her to be.

The adorable gaze he used to gave her was now changed into hatred, and that's what broke her into pieces. She knew this heart shouldn't beat for anyone or else it would be shattered just the way she was feeling right now.

Ameera: mohabbat karna asaan hai,
mushkil toh usee nibhana hai.
Ab humein hi dekh lo,
jo kal tak ek dusre ko dekhte takhte na the,
Aaj unki ek nazar bhi gawarah nahi karte.
kya yahi aziyat deti hai mohabbat?
kya yahi hai mohabbat ke mayne?

She took the most wanted breath and felt her heart not beating on the same pace anymore. She knew now the end was near. She closed the eyes and reminiscenced her life in that one moment until it was the time for her to breath her last. She smiled, smiled at her destiny, at her fate, she smiled at the person she was and she has became now. She was indeed happy with the decision the Almighty had taken for her. She mumbled "La ilaha illah" and with that she breathed her last breath. The wind around her became silent, silent as if the world had stopped. She was laid on that mountain with no one around on the same exact place where she had been for few days now. No body heard her scream as the place was lonely, she knew if she breathed her last in this place then there would be no one to bury her. But she also knew the space would be worthy of it. The calmness of the surrounding would be worthy of it. With that the birds departed to their homes and the vibrant comtrast of the sun now started getting darker and darker slowly the moon replaced it making her face glow with Noor the charisma she had lost five years ago could be seen on her dying face, the smile which she lost was adorning her features now but unfortunately there was no one to witness it, not even herself.
