EMPTY SOULS

HIDDEN STORY

ALEEM'S POV(point of view) 

LIFE IS A QUESTION AND ANSWER RIDE.LIFE IS HAPPINESS AND SADNESS'S MIXTURE. LIFE IS LIVE AND LET LIVE FORMULA. LIFE IS LEARN AND GO FOR FREE WITH YOUR OWN SURVIVAL KIT OPPORTUNITY. YOU MAY TREAT YOUR LIFE AS A GIFT OR YOU MAYBE BORED OF YOUR LIFE,  TRYING TO SPEND IT ANYWAYS. BUT, YOU STILL, ARE SUPPOSED TO SURVIVE, FIGHT ALL THE UPCOMING BATTLES,IMPLEMENT PATIENCE AND HAVE A NEVER GOING TO GIVE UP ATTITUDE. LIFE IS A RIDE FROM CHILDHOOD TO ADULTHOOD BUT YOUR SENSIBILITY AND CLARITY TOWARDS LIFE CAN HELP YOU DO WONDERS. IT IS NOT AGE THAT MATTERS, IT IS EXPERIENCE THAT MATTERS. BUT, IT IS AGAIN UP TO YOU IF, YOU WISH TO LEARN FROM IT OR YOU WOULD FORGET AND HEAD FORWARD.

From the beginning I believe life is just a place where I have come to fight some wars and claim victory so, at the end I get a peaceful life above these 9 skies. And I never ever tried going against the rules of my life which were set by my parents before they left me when I was 12! Joining this college was a wrong decision as I hated mixed gatherings from the beginning and now when the whole college treats me like an antique it really pisses me off. I love privacy but, that's the only thing which is missing. I am 19 now and it's been 7 years since I am living with my maternal aunt. 

People want to know me but, it's better if I know myself first. One rule which I need to abide forever is never cross the limits of my religion ISLAM. My maternal aunt loves me and she believes I will become a successful human one day and claim victory in both the worlds. I know that's a very huge statement and makes you smile when you imagine but, with that sentence she gets her daughter involved. Khatija, my sealed fate. Greed, the thing which I witness every where. My maternal aunt(Aanee) wants me to get married to Khatija and live a peaceful life together. 

At times I wonder how my life would have been if my parents would stay with me for a longer time but, then I believe in what my Allah does so, I understand that this is the best thing that could ever happen to me. I was sitting behind the curtain of my college's silent auditorium with all these sort of thoughts running inside my head. I crave for peace and I find it only when I'm alone and only when I speak to Allah. 

Suddenly, someone pulls the curtain off and I find her face being covered by her hair as she has put them all in front with an intention to scare me. I couldn't help but laugh. Even though I was angry just before a while, because of a girl whose name is also not known to me. Some me-time and now this abnormal girl, has changed my mood. After I finished my laugh I turned my head to see who actually it was but, surprisingly she had left the room and disappeared like a ghost. Was she really a ghost? Lol, of course not I thought. I am not a movie freak though. 

I really wanted to know who that girl was. Her hair was quite lengthy and her colour was fair is all I knew. And as these things were in my head I could figure out that, she was not a Muslim as the Muslim girls of my college covered their hair with a scarf always. 

I believe in love and for me that is something very sacred. I am not a guy who uses someone and then changes the taste after a while. I am a one woman man, as my father was! All my features are just like mumma according to the world but, I believe I resemble both of them equally, and I want to resemble them in this world where the word character is a rare imagination. But, I thought khatija has been written for me and things cannot even be changed. I couldn't say no to my aunt and to those words which my mother said to me when she was lying on her death bed, "Aanee will guide you now. Allah has called me and before I leave I want to give you an order of never disrespecting your Aanee. If you disrespect her you disrespect me and Allah"

Mumma ,baba and I were living a happy life but, after mumma got affected by blood cancer my whole life had taken a U turn. Baba too left me just after a month mumma had bid goodbye. He couldn't digest the fact that the love of his life was no more alive. They taught me what exactly love was. And I totally learnt that the love which is for the sake of Allah is the real and true love. 

Now I had some positive thoughts in my head so, I wanted to just go down and continue my freshers party. As soon as I went down I saw the girl with whom I had a fight few minutes back. She was actually crying, I didn't know why, even though I thought it would be wrong of me to go and speak to a girl whom I don't know I unreasonably, went and asked her if, everything is okay??  She hugged me tight without a reason and I had to push her and somehow my whole mood was spoilt again and I ran back to the auditorium. 

A/N: weird!! But, how will things come back to place? what next? who is the culprit? Will Wajeeha support vani or will she choose to take a step backward? You all are aware of the fact that the girl who tried to scare Aleem is wajeeha? 

Will Aleem find out about this secret or Wajeeha will remain on the safe side? Many question in mind but, the upcoming chapters will give you your answer.
