You walked up to me. I was about to leave the house to go to the nearby market to collect some groceries. You saw me and a small smile played on your lips. You proceeded towards me. But I was not ready to meet you. I ran away. Into my room. I laid on the bed and burst into crying. And you stood there, maybe hurt. But I didn't mind. What you did to me that day, it was unforgivable. I had to come to Bhopal. I had a really tough time telling mom and dad what had happened. They were hurt but they consoled me. They told me they would like to talk to you about it. But I simply said no as to I didn't want to come back to you. You didn't trust me. And now it didn't matter too. But you were always in my heart. Somehow I tried to manage to hold me up together but I was so lost that I couldn't.
You stood there until mum noticed you and called you inside. Dad also joined her once she called him downstairs, telling everyone that you were here. Aayat came rushing into my room saying that you were here. I said I know and I am in no mood to talk to you right now. She nodded in a understanding way then walked away. I didn't knew if she understood what I was feeling. But now it didn't matter too. If you didn't understand my feelings, then what can I expect from others? You stood there, I knew you must be waiting for me to come down. But I couldn't face you then. I am sad that I didn't have that energy that time. I wish I would have it. I wish that I could have went up to you and told you how much I love you. But I didn't. But you waited.
It was almost night, I heard mum saying that you should sleep in my room. But you understood that I couldn't face you so you replied that you would like to sleep on the terrace. Mum replied that it was really cold outside and you might fall sick. But you pulled her cheeks and said that you would like to spend a night beneath stars, besides you never get a chance to do that in Mumbai. She smiled and gave you blankets and pillow and you climbed to the terrace. I laid back on the bed remembering the good times we had. One day on my birthday you took me on a dinner and after reaching there you go to know that the booking was of 7:30 not 9:30. I smiled remembering those days. But suddenly I remembered the day when u told me that I was cheating on you. Why would I? Zubair was my cousin, he was just like my best friend. We have spent our whole childhood together. Of course we would have some kind of bonding. But you and I... we never had bonding. Coz you were never in any of the get together. You thought of them as 'boring'. I didn't mind too. And when we use to meet we always use to fight. I remembered those days and smiled. And then I remembered you were in the terrace cold. I tried falling asleep so many times but the thought that you might fall sick bugged me.
Sick and tired of this thinking and restlessness I got up and went up to the terrace. I saw you sleeping on a manjha (sorry don't know what you call it) I went near you and saw that you were shivering a bit. I brought another warm blanket and put it over you. I was about to leave when you grabbed my arm and wrapped your strong arms around it. I smiled remembering as to how many times you may have done it. Sometimes you did it intentionally and sometimes in sleep. Sometimes you did it just to tease me. I tried to free my hand but your grip only got tighter and tighter. I heaved a helpless sigh and decided to sit on the manjha. I admired you sleep. I ran my fingers through your hair. Then you did something I least expected, but kinda liked. You rose your head and rested it on my lap. I was shocked at first then smiled. You nuzzled close to me as I gave a light peck on your forehead. Soon I fall asleep too.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning you woke up first. You saw that I was sleeping on you while your head was rested on my lap. You smiled seeing me sleep peacefully with a smile. You got up slowly as I rested my head on your lap now. You smiled and you pushed back a strand of my hair and placed it behind my ear. I smiled as I nuzzled close to you. Then I woke up and saw me sleeping on your lap. I quickly got up and straightened my hair. You said that how did I come upstairs while I was sleeping in my room, to break the awkward silence. I replied that I was scared that you might fall sick as it was really cold last night. I embarrassed looked down as you inched close to me and cupped my face in your hands. You said you were sorry for what you did that day. I said that what you did was unforgivable. And the next thing I knew was your lips were upon mine. You pulled back after a while and said 'I love you! as you hugged me tightly. You breathed through the scent of my hair. I whispered 'I love you too!' back after a while. And I felt your embrace get tighter as I hugged you back wrapping my arms around you. You whispered 'I am so sorry Aaliya!' I replied 'It wasn't your fault Zain!' you hugged me again which just got a little loose. I silently thanked Allah. For giving me such a husband. And this life. Everyone's life has ups and downs but the one who has a special one in their life, they can never lose. So I thanked Allah for the gift he had given me and then hugged you even tighter.
