Longing Hearts

Saad's devotion burns only for Rimsha, yet her heart belongs entirely to Maaz. When a Nikkah binds these two souls together, it becomes a battleground between unyielding hatred and desperate love.

Rimsha's heart isn't malleable like wax—it's unbreakable stone, resistant to every attempt at softening.

"Rimsha." Saad's voice stops her in her tracks. He stands with his back to her, unmoved.

"What else do you want from me?" she asks, her voice trembling through unshed tears.

"Agar aaj jaogi to wapas aane ke sare raaste band karke jaogi, soch samajh kar fesla karna." Saad crushes his cigarette beneath his fingers before turning to face her. (If you leave today, you'll close every door to return. Decide carefully.)

"You've always decided for me—first marriage, now divorce. Why do you suddenly need my choice?" Rimsha moves toward the bedside table, pulling out her keys with shaking hands.

(You've always made the decisions, first to marry, now to end it. Why do you need my consent?)

"This time, the choice is yours," Saad says, his eyes still closed, fists clenched so hard they tremble.

(But this time the decision belongs to you.)

"I'm leaving," she whispers, gripping her suitcase handle as she reaches for the door.

"Tumhe divorce papers aur tumhara mehr jald hi mil jayega." His voice breaks the silence as he turns away. (You'll receive your dower and divorce papers soon.)

"I'll be waiting," she replies, her voice fractured, as she steps through the threshold.

Can Saad heal a heart turned to stone, or has he lost her forever?
