Hi everyone, so after today's precap for some reason I was in a mood to write.đ I originally wanted to make this longer, but I did the stupid mistake of typing it out directly on IF rather than on Word, so my entire work got deleted when the website crashed and I had to start all over again
Anyways enough of me and here is an OS based on the precap. I hope you all like it.đ

"What do you want?" He was surprised that she had to ask. As he had been wanting only one thing since the moment that she left him. For the past one year, he had been pining for only one thing and he knew that she was more than aware of the answer to the question that she had just asked.
She stood there waiting for his answer, her face calm and neutral, refusing to expose any of her emotions that she had buried deep inside her heart in order to hide her vulnerability. She knew what he was going to tell her, but she still needed to hear it from his own mouth.
"I want you to come back home with me", Zain finally answered. Aaliya was about to respond back when Zain continued, " I want to go back to the way we were. Of course this time stronger...so strong that nothing can come in between us, so strong that we will be able to face anything together." Tears started welling up in his eyes as he pours out all the feelings that has been building up in him for the past one year. The pain that he was unable to share with anyone. Not his mother or his brother...the people that he thought he was protecting by divorcing Aaliya. " I want to go back to waking up every morning and watch you dry your hair after taking a shower. I want to go back to sharing the same breakfast table with you. I want to go back to kissing you on the cheek every morning before I go to work. I want to go back to sharing the same bed with you wrapped in my arms in our room. The room that we decorated together-" Zain's voice broke as he ran out of breath. All the things that he wants and misses so much, he knew that she wants it just as bad, maybe even more. But her broken trust and faith is what is stopping her from admitting it, let alone moving forward.
Zain took a sharp breath and repeated the same words to Aaliya that he had told her before she left him that night, "I want us to go back and start over again." "This is it", he thought," Now it's all up to Aaliya, it's all in her hands." He quietly hung his head, hiding the tears that he could no longer control as he waited with bated breath for her answer. The answer that both their lives hung upon.
Her hands were trembling to reach out and cup his face, her heart was squeezing in pain as she yearned to pour her heart out to him as well. She opened her mouth to reply to him when she once again gets the same flashback that has been haunting her for the past one year, "Aaliya Ghulam Haider, today I give you the third talaaq".
Tears brimmed her eyes furiously and she clenched her fist, digging her nails in her palms to snap herself to reality.
"This is why I told you not to give the third talaaq Zain. This is exactly why!! I knew one day you will realize the truth, that one day you will regret this, that's why I pleaded with you to not give the third talaaq. Because if you hadn't then all the things that you just wanted to go back to wouldn't be so impossible at all!! We could have easily gone back then!", Aaliya screamed to him in her mind. She batted her eyes that were now blurred from the overflowing tears, tears that she had been shedding for the past one year every single day.
She squared her shoulders and gave him the reply that she knew he desperately wanted to hear, the reply that she desperately wanted to give him, "Okay I will come back with you. I am ready."
She watched as he looked up in surprise and she could feel the burst of happiness filling his entire being. Tears were forming in his eyes, but this time it wasn't tears of sadness, but tears of hope. She could see the dream that was already playing in his eyes, the dream of being at each other's arm reach again, of being together again..forever.
"That is the exact position I was in Zain Abdullah when we spent that night together, waking up with our hands held together. That hope, that dream that you are feeling right now, that is exactly what I felt that morning. And now you will also know how it feels to have that shattered to a millions pieces.", Aaliya thought in sadness and grief, preparing herself to die a million times again when she will have to see him in pain for the last time.
