Chap 15
She didn't remember when she had such a good and deep sleep, he was for sure the reason for a beautiful night, and for a change, both of them didn't do more than just a long sleep. The morning rayes passed throught the window reminding her the beginning of this new day, she tapped soflty her side to reach him, but the bed was empty and cold already, she opened her eyes and he wasn't next to her as always. Where was her good morning kiss? She sat up lazily, scrubbing her face from her sleep and went to look for him, but first direction bathroom. He was in the kitchen, engrossed in his task, he looked like he was preparing the breakfast. She smiled softly at him, he was maybe awake longer than now, du to the jet lag.
-Asad, she called him
-Zoya, you already awake, I was preparing breakfast to bring it to the bed, he gave her his widest smile and she found his attention so cute, it has been only few hours that he was here and he was already ready to take care of her.
She held him from behind and kissed his back, she laid her head on it and moaned satisfy that he was finally back home with her and her family. She can't express how she missed everything about him.
-Zoya, go back to bed, I am coming, and he grabbed her hand and waved at her to go to the room.
-it's 7 and I am already awake, Asad, she whined, tell what we have for breakfast, Mister Khan?
-well, Madame, he used French accent, we have coffee, hot chocolate and fresh orange juice, some butter, some jam, bread, fruit salade, cereals fruit with milk, an French omelett and the touch love, a red rose. Is it good enough for the lady? He looked at her knowing that she can't say anything wrong, he didn't forget anything that she liked.
She sterned seriously at each of the thing that he mentioned, she couldn't help but to feel overwhelming by all this attention, he was spoiling her to much, but she didn't show any of her feelings, instead, she looked annoyed at him. His smile fade away seeing her serious face
-it's not bad, but you forget something important, Asad
-what? He pointed to the food one by one, mubling his list and turned to her again, I don't think so
-I can't see my ...Good morning kiss, did you forget that it's the first thing for me? He sighed in relief
-of course, how can I forget this? He took her by her waist and wished her, good morning Mrs Khan
-Good morning Mister Khan, and he sealed his lips on her, in long, soft kiss. He was about to pull aways when she grabbed his hair and pushed him more into the kiss, she didn't want just a soft but deep and intense one, she missed his possessiveness toward her lips and her body.
-hungry, Mrs Khan? He teased her arching his eyebrow
-a lot, she let out a soft chuckle and pecked his lips chastely this time. Asad, the kids were still asleep and I think we still have time, she said shyly
-I know, we are going to enjoy our breakfast together first, he said innocently but he missed the naughtiness in her voice
-I didn't mean this, I mean that we still have time for something else
-something else? He looked perplexed and she rolled her eyes, he wasn't fast for a change, she came closer to his ears and whispered
-for a naughty shower, he gasped loudly and looked at her, wanting to check if she was playing with him, but her eyes was playfull and darkened with desire.
-but I thought that you can't
-well, maybe I exaggerate a bit yesterday, she replied nonchanlantly
-you mean you lied to me yesterday
-technically, we can say that I didn't say all the truth, it's a bit different, playing with the word, she stepped back
-you lied to me, Zoya, he pointed at her and came toward her
-well, maybe a little white lies, nothing serious, you know, she joked and stepped back again
-you are such a naughty girl and you will get punish for this, Zoya. He pulled her over his shoulder and she let out a surprised scream, he gave her a curt spanking, this is for the lie.
He went directly to the bathroom and put her under the shower, she tried to escape but he blocked her with his arms, as expected he turned on the cold water and she was all drenched with, yelling at him.
-ASSAAADD, it's COLLLDDD
-it's to decrease your temperature honey, he laughed at her.
-oh really ? She stole the hand shower from his hand and splashed him in turn and he was in turn shouting at her.
-ZOYA
-1 for each now.
Asad's eyes fell on her clothes who were now revealing everything leaving nothing to the imagination, he saw her lower lips shivering with cold, he turned this time the warm water and adjusted the temperature. He held closer to him and let the water flowing on them both.
-are you feeling better? He asked sensually
-much better, in your arms, she kissed his chest.
-did I tell how beautiful you are? He kissed her forehead
-few times
-did I tell you how much I miss being with you? He kissed her cheek
-not enough
-did I tell how much you are desirable? He kissed her just under her ear
-show me now, she moaned, she wanted to kiss him hungrily but he stopped her posing his index on her mouth
-not so fast, it's going to be long, really long, I have months to catch up
-oh God, have a mercy to my hormones.
He giggled and started to tease her, his torture was first slow, and soft, he liked to start gentlty and to finish passionately. Like the first time, they made love, he didn't let any of her body that he didn't touch or kiss, she wanted him to go straight but she had to confess that he knows how to increase her pleasure, even if she didn't need after such long separation. They made love under the shower until the warmth of the water became cold and the reservoir was empty from any heat.
After this long shower, she dried her hair and he was almost ready, she could see watching him shirtless, he was thin now. He looked at her throught the mirror, narrowing his eyes, asking her where she was, she just shook her head and wrapped him from behind, kissing his neck.
-how I miss you so much, Asad
-are you still hungry?
-at all, her cheeks reddened she spinned him around and cupped his face, I really miss you
-I missed you so much, I don't know how I went through this months without you
-it wasn't easy here either, Asad, but now that you are here, this is all that matters for me. She clasped her hands around his back and she let her head on his chest, he kissed the top of her head and they stood like this for close to eternity. But even the eternity has an end when you have children, Salim awaken, called for her. Both sighed and they exchanged an eye look
-I guess it's time to wear our clothes of super parent
-yes, I guess, she nodded.
They left hand and hand to find their other loved one.
One year later
-Sarah, Salim, clean your room, your abbu will soon arrive to have dinner.
Both of the children responded shouted from their room. Zoya was preparing the dinner for her family. It was her ritual in the evening, she forced Asad to always come at night to spend time with his family. They were closed to celebrate their 2 years of wedding, she couldn't believe her luck, and she was blessed with a lovely husband and children. Day by day, she fell more in love with him, they always fought as all normal couple but they always showed a strong bond and kept it in front their children. She was happy that Salim called her ammi, it took 6 month for him to call her like this, she even cried first time he called her like this, and Asad but he acted nonchanlantly that day. Men and their ego, she thought.
Sufian kept his promise, he called Sarah once in a week and more sometimes. He got married few months after he turned back to India, but he didn't forget Sarah, she even went to India alone despite the concerns of her mother. Thanks to Asad who was there to deal with her worries.
-I'm home, called Asad
-Kids , abbu is here, shouted back Zoya from the kitchen
Both of them ran to kiss him, he took one by one and kissed them on their cheeks. He joined Zoya in the kitchen, loosing his tie.
-what happen? Why are they so exited like this ?
-first day of school, she raised her eyebrows
-Oh yes, of course, he tapped his forehead.
He came and held her from behind, placing his chin on her shoulder
-how is my baby? He kissed her temple
-fine , just missed you, she smiled
-where is my kiss, wifey ?
She pecked his cheek, he hummed annoyed and spinned her.
-I want a real one, he approached his lips, but she stopped him in midway
-Asad, the kids
-no one is there, I want my welcome kiss
-not now, tonight, she pushed him
-tonight? Anatomy lesson? He smirked
-may be, if you are nice
-I'm always nice
-yeah of course, she rolled her eyes
-just one, a small one, while he came close she putted the spoon his mouth and some of the sauce covered the corner of his lips.
-oups sorry, she touched the corner on his lips but he trapped it between his lips, Asad, she almost groaned
-what I'm nice, he came closer and she didn't push him, but he was stopped again
-What are you doing? Are you going to kiss again ? Said Salim looking at them.
Asad huffed annoyed.
-nothing baby, we are just studying anatomy
-Asad, shouted shocked Zoya
-ewww, I hate lesson, and I hate anatomy
-trust me, you will love it, beta, when you will grow up
-Asad, she elbowed him, but Salim, not before your 50th son
-50th ? No don't listen your ammi, let's say 20th, he winked
-excuse me ? 20th ? Are you for real ? Last time, you said that to Sarah , not before her 50th, but for Salim, only 20th
-come on Zoya, he is a boy,
-Excuse me ? Are you seperating gender? Mister macho Ahmed Khan
-come on Zoya, he is a boy, and they are precocious in this subject
-of course, you know what, no anatomy lesson tonight, I have something better for you
-oh no, don't tell me history, please
-HIS-TORY, mister Khan, he faceplamed himself, lesson number 1 the women persecussion through the centuries
-oh, no CEN-TURY, oh God no, please. Last time, the history lesson was about World War 1 and 2 and I spent week to negotiate a peace treaty. But I must confess, I really love the signature day, he joked, but she kept a serious face and went to her room.
-Abbu, I don't like anatomy and history
-I know, no anatomy today, he sighed.
Zoya was sitting on her bed, looking annoyed and she increased her anger when he entered.
-Zoya baby, he sang
-nice that you are here, we can start, first lesson during prehistory
-Prehistory??? Oh God, it will take thousand years to come to 20th century
-you mean billions of years, Mister Khan, she stood up when he sat next to her.
-ok, let's start, he removed his coat lazily, looking sad.
-Mister Khan, I have question
-we already started with the exams, it's going to be a long, long night.
-shut up, I have a question in biology, what happen when a sperm meets an egg cell?
-first embryo and then f"tus and then baby, easy, I hope you will decrease my punishment with each good answer,
She faced him and placed her arms on his shoulders
-how long does it takes ?
-it depends from days to month, the elephant gestation takes almost 2 years, impressive
-and with human ?
-easy, 9 months.
-you have some examples that you can give, Asad ? She smiled at him
-we have already 2 beautiful examples, Zoya, he mocked her
-ok, what about a third example?
His smile fade away quickly and he blinked many times, trying to register what she was talking about. She took his hand and putted it on her tummy.
-what about a THIRD example? She smirked
Asad shouted loudly and lifted her, twirling her in his arms.
-you are pregnant, you are pregnant, you are pregnant, he was so excited.
-Asad, stop, I feel dizzy
-sorry, sorry, baby, are you ok? She nodded, I'm so happy, so happy, he kissed her and went down kissing her tummy, hi baby, this is abbu.
-Asad, it's too soon, it's only one month, she laughed at him.
-So ? I'm his father or not? One month or one day, I will talk to her
-or him, she suggested. So, what was the lesson of today? She kept a straigth face
-please, Zoya, no history today, it was a beautiful news, she shook her head in no. Ok, I deserve it, he pouted sadly.
-first lesson : the muscles of the mouth, she bitted her lower lip
-wait, this is not history
-No, she wispered in his ears, I'm not in a mood of history tonight
-thank God, he looked up and he laid her down on the bed, and what if I respond nicely ?
-I guess we are going to explore other part more in-depth way
- I love when it's thorough
She laughed and he kissed starting his lessons for tonigh.
2 months later
Both were excited, it was the first examination to see the baby, Asad insited to go with her, he wanted to share everything with her. During the first trimester, she was lucky to not have any sickness pregnancy, instead, she was just tired and loved to sleep a lot.
-Mrs and Mr Khan, ready?
Zoya tightened his grip around his hand and both nodded at him. He put the gel on her abdomen and put the probe on it. She hissed at the contact, it was a bit cold. The doctor first looked for and tried to adjust clearly the image. During first seconds, both retained their breath, at the beginning, they looked on the screen and could only see black and white color. Then the first sound came, and it was his heart beat, the sound was closer to a purring cat than heart beat. Both smiled at each other and Zoya's eyes became moisty with emotion, she was emotional with this pregnancy.
-it looks perfect and , he posed, I have two good news for you.
-Asad, she said happily
-what are those two news?
-they are two, Mister Khan
-I know they are two, but what are those two good news?
-they are two, your wife and you have two
-I understand Doctor, but can you say them?
Zoya rolled her eyes and wanted to speak but he stopped her.
-wait baby, let me know first, so tell me doctor, what are those two good news? Asad was totally clueless about what the doctor was trying desperately to make him understand.
-Mister Khan, your wife and you will have two in one time,
-of course, you told me that I have two good new, I don't expect from you to give one now and the other another time, it's weird, right?
-Asad, baby, we have two
-I know, we have two
-Mister Khan, there is two heart beat
-of course there is two heart beat, my wife's heart and my baby,
-they are 3 heart beat then
-of course, you can hear mine doctor, you are really good, the doctor growled in frustration and both of Zoya and the doctor shook their head totally disbeliever.
Asad laughed at them and when he saw both of them annoyed, his laugh became nervous suddenly.
-What? Don't tell me that we have two?
Zoya and the doctor nodded this time, giving him a look of "finally".
-oh God, and this is two good news for you? Asad's eyes widened in horror
-Asad, she smacked him
-sorry, baby, it's just that I didn't expect
-and I have third new for you
-no, don't tell me that they are three, we are only two
-anyway, there is two amniotic sac which means that it's not identical twins, Mrs Khan, you are expecting fraternal twins and they have the perfect size and the bag for each is normal.
-thank you doctor
-thank you doctor, and sorry for earlier, I didn't imagine once that we are going to have two.
-it's ok, I can understand, Mrs Khan, a twin pregnancy is a little more challenging, remember to rest and relax but with your husband, I think you should not get bored often.
-this is for sure, she caressed his cheek tenderly
Once out of the cbinet, Zoya and Asad called the family to give them the two good news, as expected, the ladies shouted on the phone hysterically. They were not prepared at all to have two and both were tensed and happy. Asad opened his tie, he felt a bit oppressed by this news, it wasn't predict and he needed time to assimilate all the implication in their life, he was pragmatic. His mood was in total opposite to Zoya's one, who was totally excited, thanks to her hormones.
2 months later
-Hello, may I talk to Mister Khan? Said a woman voice
He was surprised, he received a call on his personal mobile, it's only family who knows this one.
-yes, it's me
-Mister Asad Ahmed Khan?
-yes
-this is St-Catherine Hospital, your wife was admitted here 2 hours ago for bleeding, and she..
-what?? My wife? How is she? And why you didn't call me earlier? How is that possible? He didn't let her finish and bombarded her with question, when he heard wife, he lose all his sense. What happened to her? Bleeding? Hospital? All this word rang in his mind and why she didn't call him?
-your wife is fine, Mr Khan, she lose conscious earlier and she was brought here to the hospital, once she regained conscious , she asked to call you on this number. She tried to sound reassuring.
-I am coming, he cutted the call and jumped into his car.
He didn't know how he managed to drive in his state, he was hell worried for her, his hands and legs were shaking with fears, even if she was fine, he won't relax until he would see her fine. He drove like a crazy man, crossing all the traffic lights. He finally arrived and his heart was racing with each passing seconds, he felt like a dj-vu when Ayaat was also in hospital for bleeding. He can't live this moment again, not with her.
-my wife, Mrs Zoya Asad Ahmed Khan, he asked the receptionist.
Once she gave him the number room, he ran to her. She was there laying on the bed, looking pale with her eyes closed, his tears flowed seeing her like this.
-zoya? He called her softly
She blinked slowly, first her eyes fix the ceiling and then at him, she smiled lazily, she was looking totally exhausted. She extanded her hand and he rushed to hold her.
-Zoya, Zoya, Are you ok? Tell me?
-I am fine, I am just tired, her eyes still closed, she didn't see him crying. Once he kissed her hand, she felt something wet on her skin, she finally opened her eyes and saw him crying.
-Asad, I am fine, she wiped his tears, she spread her arms and he crushed his body on hers. I am fine, Asad, she rubbed his back affectionnaly, I-am-fine, calm down.
-what happened? He asked once he was finally calm.
-I don't know, I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen, and I fainted. They just told me that I lost blood when they found me. I was so worried for the babies Asad, she caressed her belly, but they are fine. She finally smiled. He posed his hand on her tummy and smiled sadly.
The doctor entry interrupted them and Asad rushed to him to have all the details.
-well, Mr Khan, your wife is really anemic, which made her feel weak. Her strong contraction this morning, was not normal and she had a placental abruption, that why she bled. But now everything was back to normal, but you had to take a rest. You can't work for at least 3 or 4 weeks. You are not allowed to walk, to work or to exhausted yourself, you have to take a rest. The babies are too young at this age and it will be risky for you and for them. Did you had any other contraction or was it just the first?
-actually, she looked at Asad and he frowned, during all the last week, I had some, but only in the evening and there were short.
-you didn't tell me? Retorted Asad half angry half worried
-I didn't want to worry you, Asad. He was now angry on her, she should have talk to him.
-Mrs Khan, you shouldn't ignore those contraction, especially where there are repetitive. You are caring two and it cost you a lot of energy, each time you have contraction, you need a rest. And no activity, no any effort and for sure no sex for some weeks before your next visit. Mr Khan, I count on you to force her to be on the bed.
-Don't worry Doctor, I will attach her to bed, he said seriously and she let out a soft chuckle.
-Doctor, next week, it's my appointment for the ultrasound to determine the gender of our babies, do you think I can go?
-if you want we can do it here and you will not have to go?
-it will be a good idea, doctor, Asad replied quickly before she could speak.
-perfect, I will prepare this and you will be discharge by tomorrow. Have a nice day.
-thank you Doctor, both said in unison
When the doctor left, tension took place between them, Zoya felt guilty and awkward that he finally knows about her contraction, and Asad's feartures was tensed after what she revealed.
-Asad, she called gently
-why you didn't tell me? He raised his voice
-I..I didn't want to..
-to worry me? I am WORRY and ANGRY, Zoya, you shouldn't have hide this to me, you shouldn't have done this
-I am sorry, Asad, I am sorry, it's just that...
-That what?
-During my first pregnancy, all of this thing happened to me, contraction, anemia, bleeding, I already have it, so for me, it was just ...normal
-at this time, you were alone but today, I am with YOU and I won't accept for NOW, any secret about, you hear me, and I am serious about? He pointed at her.
-I am sorry, she held her ears and pouted cutely at him, giving him a puppy dog look. He sighed loudly to calm his anger and his anxiety. He was more afraid than anything else.
-I was so worried Zoya, I was so worried, he wrapped his arms around her
-I know, I am sorry, I am so sorry. She pecked his lips softly. He slowly relaxed in her arms and his lips curved in soft smile. You know what, I am so excited to know what I have? Two boys? Two girls? Or one of each? What do you think? She clapsed her hand excited
-I am just sure that both will be stubborn like their mother
-and father, she corrected
-ya, maybe.
-I love you my angry lion
-I love you too my untamable lioness
4 weeks later
The result revealed a boy and a girl, and she was happy to give a sister and brother for Salim and Sarah, and the happiest one was for sure both of them, equity was respected. Asad pampered her so much during this 4 weeks, he didn't let her move more than a step. He took care of their children, their homework, their food, everything, he was doing everything. She can see all the effort that he was doing and she can't ignore how in the evening, he was exhausted and slept within few seconds, she didn't get time to talk to him properly in the evening. She was feeling much well now, no more contraction or tiredness, and she spent most of her time on bed and was total bored. All the morning, she was alone and the only distraction, was when the kids came to talk to her about their day. She opened a book and started to read, but she didn't turned the page for a long time, she decided to close it and to watch TV. She slipped from channel to channel and nothing caught her attention, she threw the remote control on the sofa and huffed annoyed. She looked at the kitchen and got an idea. She will prepared a cake for them, it won't harm her, it will be quick. She jumped excited to the kitchen and started to cook, but slowly, the cake turned to be more than that, she was feeling good and in happy mood, that she prepared also the dinner, thinking about Asad. He won't be tired and she will be able to spend time with him.
After her back and forth in the kitchen, she cleaned everything and prepared the table, she covered with sheet, to expose her surprise later. She was happy after those long weeks that she could finally roam in the house without being stop. She went to take a shower before they came. She let the rain shower on her, to relax her body and suddenly, she felt a new and brief contraction. She hissed in pain, she tried to breathe in and out to calm it, but she could feel her now small contraction and movement of the babies inside of her. She maybe forced a bit at the end, she had to recognize that. However, she didn't bleed which eased her guilt a bit. She went out from the shower, but she didn't notice the small puddle of water when she slidded on it, but as reflex, she gripped to the curtain of the shower and regained her balance. She sat on the edge of the coutner and she was closed to fall flatly on her tummy. Her heart beated faster in fears for this sudden incident. She was lucky that nothing happened, she should lay down a bit before, she thought.
She took a short nap, when some voice woke her up. They were already at home, she went to welcome them, with her eyes marked with sleep. The three of them were happy to see her, especially Asad, who saw her yawning, he was happy to see that she took rest.
-Hi my baby, she called them when Salim and Sarah threw themselves on her knees
-Hi Ammi, both shouted together
-how are you my babies?
-fine, both nodded at her, Asad crossed his arms amused by them.
-I have a surprise for you all, she uncovered the table, TA-DAA, she waved at the table. I made your favorite cake, Salim, she pulled his cheek, and the favorite of my little girl, she pulled this time Sarah's one. And, I prepared the dinner, she looked at Asad.
His smiled fade away, looking at the table and when he looked at her, his face tensed and his feartures hardened. She first was smiling at all of them, but her smile diseapered once she saw his face turning red and angry at her. She frowned not knowing what happened to him. She could see the small muscle on his jaw moving frantically du to repetitive pressure on his teeth against each other. She didn't know why but she knew that she was in trouble.
-kids, go to your room and be prepare for the dinner, he said sternly. They both obeid to him and he went to his room, ignoring her totally.
-Asad what's wrong?
-nothing, he didn't face her
-are you angry on me?
-I am just tired, he went directly to the bathroom, he threw angrily the towel on the mirror and closed his eyes in frustration.
The kids were happy with her surprise but Asad kept mumb and didn't utter a single word, only in monosyllab when he was forced to respond. Zoya felt helpless, she knew that he didn't like her to work but she didn't know why he took it so much to heart, nothing happened and she was all fine.
After finishing the dinner, she went to her room waiting for him, she needed to clarify and to understand why he was so hard with her. He finally entered and he looked at her briefly. He didn't say anything and went to the other side of the bed.
-may I know why you avoided me all this night, Asad? He didn't reply, Asad, I am talking to you, at least, can you respond? She was angry now at his rude behavior.
-please, Zoya, leave me or I will say thing I finish by hurting you, let's discuss tomorrow
-no, not tomorrow, I want NOW,
-ok, FINE, you want a discussion you will have it, what did you do earlier? What did you prepare the dinner? His voice was dangerously low
-I...I wanted to help
-did I ask you to help me? Did I complain about something? She shook her head in no, then, why did you do this when you were supposed to take a rest? TELL ME WHY?
-I..I ..was feeling fine, and...I ..was bored, Asad, she can't face him, she turned giving him her back.
-getting bored? It's not enough to feel fine, YOU have to be FINE, Zoya, you were supposed to take rest and you just cooked and cleaned the kitchen, this is totally irresponsible
-Asad, I told you, I am fine and I know how to take care of myself, it was not my first pregnancy, and when I felt tired, I took break. I am not irresponsible, I know how to take care of them. She glared at him, he can't accuse her to be a bad mother.
-fine, then, no matter what I am going to say, you will not recognize you mistake, then it s not need to talk futher about, he said sarcastically. You know better than me, bravo, he clapped his hand
-Asad, I won't tolerate your tone, she pointed at him when she stood up in anger, I told you, I am fine and I didn't force at all.
-So, you mean you didn't feel tired or any contraction? He came closer and she avoided his eyes, she couldn't say anything or he will blast on her more
-No, no
-you are lying Zoya, I can see that you are lying, you are pale and tired and you can't hide it, because I can see it clearly. He lifted her chin to face him. She was trapped in her own lies. You are totally irresponsible, Zoya, totally. He left her chin abruptly and turned his back to her, he tried to calm his nerves, he can't shout on her, she was pregnant and emotional. He had to protect her from him.
-yes, maybe, I did have a contraction, but I took a nap to take a rest, and now I am fine, she tried to justify but he didn't move. I just don't understand why you are reacting so badly, nothing wrong happen to me.
-nothing wrong? Thank God, that nothing wrong happen to you, you were ALL ALONE, Zoya, why don't you understand that you shouldn't have done this? Why?
-for God's sake, I AM FINE, I AM FINE, I AM FINE, so please stop this nonsense, you are created a problem for nothing.
-it's my fault now? Right? It's my fault? How could you say this? Is it my fault if I am worried for you? Is it my fault if I love you? Is it my fault if I don't want to LOOSE YOU?
-why you say that, Asad? This is ridiculous
-I DON'T WANT TO LOOSE YOU, I DON'T WANT TO LOOSE YOU, YOU HEAR ME. I don't want to loose you the way I loose Ayaat.
-Asad, Ayaat and I are different
-this is exactly where you are wrong, Zoya. He felt abruptly on the bad and held his head in his both hand. Ayaat was also pregnant with twin, his lips started to shiver, she lost balance in the bathroom one day and we...His throat constricted, and we lost one of them.
Zoya held her tummy, she felt a sharp pain in her heart, she was almost close to loose her balance in the bathroom. And he continued.
-we lost him at the third month of the pregnancy, and Ayaat was forced to stay on the bed until her delivery. She was sad and depressed, and like you she was bored, he looked at her and said it ironically, her pregnancy was really complicated, she used to bleed a lot, to have contraction,but she was adamant to move and to work at home. The doctor said maybe the pregnancy will not come to an end. But, Salim was a strong baby and he resisted until the 9th month. But Ayaat started to bleed massively and ...Only Salim survived.
Both became mute for some minutes, Zoya didn't know that and Asad never had the occasion to share this with her, especially now that she was pregnant. His tears flowed, he wiped his tears and faced her.
-that why you are totally irresponsible, and I don't want to loose you, I don't want to be alone, and I can't be alone. If something happened to you, I don't want to spend the rest of my life without you by my side, don't force me to be all alone with them and to take care of them without you, I can't without you, Zoya. Not a second time.
Her tears was now pouring, she tried to touch him, but he moved her hands, and stepped away from her.
