Broken Heart

By Farnoosh FaalPublished 5 years ago 4 min read

I hurried to the chair and pulled it back.

- Well, am I wrong?

I sighed and sat down softly on the brown chair.

- I'm talking to you!

I rolled my eyes and turned to Hamta, who was looking at me in a creditor manner.

- Yes, you are wrong! Finished?

Hamta, upset by my negative answer, frowned a little.

- I really do not understand you! Are you still waiting for him?

I put my subconsciously fisted hands on the table and closed my eyes.

- Please end it up Hamta! I came here to rest.

There was no sound for a few moments, and then the loud closing of the door made me open my eyes.

I glanced sadly at the door.

I did not want to break his heart! Totally she was my cousin and was by my side like a compassionate sister all this time. But I couldn't respond positively to her urgings consistently.

I tied my hands together and put my head on them. I was exhausted; I had missed him for a few days! I don't know why, but I missed his voice more than ever; the voice that I hadn't heard for twelve years.

My eyes gradually closed and I traveled to the world of memories.

(- Sorry, I totally slipped my mind.

He turned angrily to me and pointed to the empty glass he was holding.

- Dear lady you made me a body-cover with orange juice!

I lowered my head and said with embarrassment in my voice: I'm really sorry, I did not want it to be like this ... I was just ... just ... in a hurry.

He shook his head in regret and said, "keep your eye on the ball, madam."

As I was about to answer, a man on the other side of the coffee shop said loudly: "Never mind Shahriyar! Like we came to celebrate your return to Iran."

The boy, whose name I had just learned was Shahriyar, walked over to his friends without looking at me again.

I pulled my eyes away from him as my hand was pulled by Hamta.

- Let's go girl! what are you looking at?

I shook my head and whispered softly: Nothing ... let's go.)

- Shahrzad?

I lifted my head from the table and wiped the tears from my cheeks with my fingertips.

- Yes?

Hamta came to me in surprise and put his hand on my shoulder.

- You're still here? Aren't we going?

I pushed back the chair and got up.

- we are honey, let me change my clothes first.

Hamta shook his head and moved towards the door.

At the last moment, he turned to me and said hesitantly: How are you?

I tried my best to put a faint smile on the corner of my mouth.

- I'm fine.

Hamta, as if relieved, pointed to the door and said, "I'm waiting outside."

After leaving the hospital, we moved to the grandfather's house with Hamta; Today, the grandfather invited the whole family to lunch.

- Shahrzad?

I took my look from my fingers and looked at her.

- Yes?

As she was looking straightforward, she said: Are you upset with me?

A smile settled on the corner of my mouth.

- No dear I'm not upset! You are like my sister.

He breathed deeply and said: Well, thank God! I also admit that I interfered a lot in your private life.

- No, my dear ... I know you do this for the sake of your brother, but I really am not in the condition.

Hamta shook his head and said nothing more.

Until we reached our grandfather's house, we both kept our mouths shut.

I was sleeping that suddenly woke up with the sound of car's door.

- Excuse me, did I scare you?

I yawned and got out of the car.

- No ... nothing happened.

I looked at the garden yard of my grandfather's house.

I was so asleep that I did not even notice entering the yard!

After removing her bag from the back seat of the car, Hamta closed the door approached me.

- Well, let's go, everyone is waiting for us!

I took her outstretched hand and walked with her.

We had not yet reached the entrance when we stopped at the sound of our grandfather shouting.

I looked at the door in surprise, and then at Hamta's surprised eyes.

- What's going on?

Hamta shook his head and pulled me towards the door.

- Emad!

My eyebrows twitched.

- What? Emad?

Before Hamta could answer my question, the door opened and Emad appeared!

- Emad? What did you do again?

He seemed to calm down until his eyes met mine. I will never know when this boy lost his heart to me!

- Hey cousin! are you ok?

I shook my head and said hello.

But before he could say anything else, I passed him and went inside.

The grandfather was standing angrily in the middle of the house, and the grandmother was holding his arm in horror.

- Hey ... what's going on here?

Grandpa looked at Uncle, who was sitting on a jade-colored royal sofa, holding his head, and stared at me.

- Hi my daughter! welcome!

I smiled and said to my grandmother, who was staring at my face with concern: What's up grandmother?

Uncle got up from the sofa and said: Nothing dear, just visit your mother.

I shook my head and left my bag on the sofa next to me.

- Where is Hamta?

I turned to the voice and said to my uncle who was waiting for my answer: he went after Emad.

Uncle took a deep breath and walked towards the door.

- I'm going to mom.

After saying this, I moved to the only room downstairs.

Hearing my aunt, I smiled and opened the door.

- Hey!

At my voice, Mom and Aunt turned to me.

- Hi Shahrzad! Are you ok honey?

I entered the room and closed the door.

- Fine, thanks dear! Are you okay mom?

Mom opened my hands with a smile full of love and said: Welcome, my little cutie!
