Chap3

He couldn't sleep, his though didn't let him in peace. The night leads them to confess to each other after so long but still, there are some issues to be solve. Most of those knots came from him, he knows it but he still can't figure out how to do and from where to start. He tried to fight his demons many times, only God knows how, but he always felt something pulling him again in depression. No matter how he tried, he couldn't step away from his darkness. Alcohol wasn't helping him either. He looked at her sleeping beside him like an angel, her features were totally relaxed and his lips lifted when he saw hers curled too. Her smile was his, then when did he stop making her happy? This moment he realized how much he was selfish in his pain and he only finished punishing her unfairly. She tried to act normally and never pretended, she just chose to act like this accident will not change anything in their life, but it just happened pulling him away from her. He was not anymore himself, at least physically, but he can't dissociate his body from his soul, it affected him and hers too. She never complained and her love grew up more for him, and it hurts him to be unable to give her the same. He looked down and she seemed disturbed suddenly, and he frowned with her. Their emotions mingled perfectly, when she smiled, he smiled again and when he was sad, she was even more. He took a long deep, her tears and her cries were still ringing in his head. He stroked tenderly her forehead, brushing her hair in the process to ease her tensed brows. She stirred from her sleep slowly and curved more against his chest and her lips spread more recognizing his scent.

-Asad, she moaned and he kissed her hair in return. He lifted more the blanket on her and she wrapped her arms carelessly around his waist pulling herself more to him.

She missed this, she missed being awake next to him, to his warm chest and cuddling by his breathe. She missed everything about him, above all, she missed her husband. It felt so different, so intense after being starved for so long, the taste of happiness made it addictive. She wasn't afraid anymore, he was back to her now. Her fingers mingled with his and her grip tightened. The hardest test was now all behind them, until both of them were hand in hand to face this life again.

-Asad, I made a nightmare, she groaned against his chest. He sighed sadly, he wished it could have been just a dream but it wasn't.

-it wasn't a nightmare Zoya, it's our truth, he brushed her hair. She stepped back and blinked quizzically at him. He sighed again, did he really need to say it out loud?

-Baby, I am not talking about your accident, she said softly cupping his face. She straightened on her elbow to be at his level. It looked real, I saw you diving in the water and I couldn't reach you, I tried to swim to you but you kept going down in the darkness until I lost you totally. Her eyes moistened and her lower lips started to tremble. I don't want to lose you again and I don't want you to fall in this darkness away from me. She held him tight, I love you more than anything in this life, Asad. He responded with the same intensity to her hug, he didn't want to lose her or her smile, she was his reason to still be insane in this world or he would have done worst to himself.

-I know, I know.

She placed soft kisses on the side of his face, going from his temple to his chin, avoiding his lips. She didn't want to force today, he needed to find his confidence again and she knew that it will take time. Her love kisses moved something inside of him he thought he died for so long, he felt his skin burning with need to feel her and to touch her like before. His inside clenched and his knuckles around her back grabbed her night dress, he felt this sensation so foreigner to him but familiar in the same time. When she pulled away, he captured her lips hungrily making her gasped in his mouth. At the beginning she was so shocked but it didn't take her time to respond to him, kissing him madly. He posed her head delicately on the pillows whereas his kiss was in total opposite. He felt himself going back in the past, this Asad that he was missing, and he realized that this part of him was still alive, he just forgot about. He closed his fingers around her neck lifting up her chin slightly to go deeper in her mouth. His barriers fell one by one the more he let himself in this kiss. He slid his fingerprint under her top, touching her belly and making her moan throatily. He went upper and her nails went deeper on his back, he felt her trembling under his hands like never before or did he just forget how she used to react under his touch? He stopped his train of doubts and continued what he was doing. His lips became demanding to taste other part of her like an addict, he grabbed her collar and stretched it aggressively to reveal her shoulder tiring the two first buttons of her top. Her eyes rolled over her socket when she felt his lips on her chest moving back and forth on her exposed flesh, he was just killing her with all of this and what a beautiful death she was going through, she chuckled at her thought. His touches were still the same, he still remembered what she loved and how.

-Zoya, he breathed in the crook of her neck and she agonized under his call. He backed breathless and searched for her eyes. Her eyes went darker with desire and her chest moved up and down, releasing loud breath from her open mouth. His eyes fell on her swollen lips and dark mark that he let on her skin, she was totally submissive to him, waiting for him to love her. The fog of desire suddenly vanished and he went back to his darker sense. He can't do it, no matter how strong he can feel for her, there was thing which was needed to do, feelings alone were not enough. He closed his eyes painfully and he felt disgust of himself. Zoya saw the myriad of emotion in his eyes and what she was afraid of happened, he backed away.

-Asad, she called him desperately cupping his face, she didn't want him to run. She didn't want him to cut this connection between them, he had to look into her eyes but he refused to obey at her.

-I am sorry, I can't, I am sorry, he straightened and sat up, giving her his back.

Zoya sat up in turn, adjusting her top, she came to him. He knew that he disappointed her, he couldn't face her, he thought he can do it, but his limits were stronger than his love. She sat on his side and turned his face in the opposite, she clasped her arms around his waist and he hissed.

-look at me Asad

-I am so sorry, I make you sad, I am sorry to hurt you, I thought I can do it, but I ...

-Asad, shhh, look at me, please, she lifted his chin and their noses were touching the others. I am proud of you

-Proud? His words chocked in his throat.

-Yes, I am proud, because you tried, you initiate and for a change, I didn't jump on you, he chuckled, Asad, I told you we are going step by step. Every day will be a battle for you.

-Zoya, I am sorry

-I am proud because you tried and it didn't look like you forced yourself, don't think about what you lost but think about what you still have, Asad.

-I am sorry, I don't know if I could

-Don't say this anymore, you did a lot today and you make me proud

-and frustrated

-don't worry, I will have my revenge one day with all of this, she joked and he looked away fighting his smile, her love made his eyes wetted.

-Asad, I will wait for you for a lifetime, he stared at her and the love in her eyes gave him solace and strength telling him that his fight will be worth if he tried.

-you will not need to wait for so long, he responded with the same intensity making her eyes moistened with happiness.

As much as she wanted to cry and to crash herself in his arms, she didn't want to pour tears anymore, it was time of hope for them. Tears were now all behind them. She cleared her throat and looked away, he has this special look that always pierced her soul and made her vulnerable.

-I have to prepare and I will call Ahsan to take care of you

-Hugh, I hate him, he said dejected

-He is nice, Asad, don't be a jerk

-he is NOT and I don't like him

-May I know why?

-Did you just see the way he drooled over YOU? And in front ME? How dare he? I wish to beat him black and blue

-Jealous, Mr Khan? She teased him but inwardly, she could hold the happiness and the love that she felt at his jealousy.

-Of course, yes, you are mine, he grabbed her elbow pulling her to him possessively.

At this moment, she wanted to freeze the time. The heat of her skin increased under his hold, and his dark eyes roared manly making her shiver. This is her Asad, the one who make her feel unique and loved, who was her strength, her soul and her life. She thought have lost him long time ago, but he was still there, all he needed to do, it's to let him out. He could see how her eyes devoured him and the sparkles between them, he can't ignore it, it was as alive as her skin. She was his, and always will be, no matter how famous she became and how desirable, she was under the eyes of the world now. His accident only increased her insecurity, and even if he trusted her, he can't stop the feeling of jealousy, especially now. One day, she might leave, enough to wait for him.

-I have to take my shower now, see you at the breakfast. She kissed his cheek and jumped in hurry. She didn't know how she managed to control herself from touching him, he makes her burnt with needs. She stopped at the door and looked at him. Do you want to join me? She asked playfully

-Zoya, he whined

-What? She said innocently, I have some part here, she pointed to her back, that I can't reach. He shook his head at her antics and she left giggling. Once she closed the door, she let out her tears, he did a lot. She knew that his healing will need a lot of time, but since yesterday, he took huge step and she can't be happier than this. Her tears were only drop of joy, she saw a glimpse of her old Asad and for a change, he forgot about his inability.

-Mrs Khan?

-Ahsan!! She wiped her tears and tried to look normal, but she couldn't mask her swollen eyes, Mr Khan needs you. She started to leave when he grabbed her elbow to stop her. Her quizzical look on his grip made him leaving her elbow awkwardly. Yes, Ahsan?

-Are you ok? He asked concerned stroking his ear, she took a long breath and spread a huge smile

-Yes, I am, I am fine, Asad is...She couldn't finish her sentence, Ahsan didn't need to know about them, it was all private, even if she wanted to share her happiness with someone today. Ahsan, I wanted to thank you, she posed her hand on his arm.

-To thank me? He asked surprised

-Yes, you are doing a good job with Asad, and I know how sometimes he can be...You know, and to thank you for your discretion about what is happening under this roof. Thank you for protecting my private life, Ahsan, it means a lot to me.

-I can do anything for you, Zo...Mrs Khan, he wrapped his hand on her. She extracted her hand and for the first, she understood what Asad meant, however, he never showed bad manners with her then he didn't deserve from her any change. She tapped her shoulder and left.

He looked at her back walking away from him and went in a deep thought.

-Zoya you are a pure soul and you deserve so much better from this life, so much better, he said bitterly looking at Asad's room. He sighed and opened to take care of his burden.

After a long and relaxing shower, she went down humming happily. She didn't remember the last time, she felt so happy to join him at the breakfast, she didn't feel anymore this anxiety inside her guts. He was already there engrossed in his newspaper and sipping his coffee. She stopped for a second looking at him lovingly to quench her thirst to this side of him. This view had the taste of dream coming true after so much sacrifices, she took the moment to realize that it finally happened. The road will be long but she didn't matter, they both took the first step. She took a long breath and joined him.

-Good morning, she sang making both of the men lifting their head. Ahsan, she nodded politely. Asad, she said tenderly. She wrapped his shoulders giving him a long kiss on his temple. His lips curled at her gesture. It felt good to have her like this, he though. He responded by a genuine smile. Coffee, Asad? He shook his head in no and she went pouring a cup for herself. Like he senses, he looked toward Ahsan and as expected, he found him staring at his wife.

-You can leave us, Ahsan, thank you, Asad said politely but his tone wasn't at all friendly. Ahsan looked down and left reluctantly.

She sat in front of him, her eyes fixed on him and she didn't even try to hide it. He felt her intense gaze on him and didn't know what made him uncomfortable her eyes or the meaning that they trapped.

-What?

-Nothing, I am drinking my coffee, she said innocently and he raised his eyebrows annoyed.

-What are you doing to do today? He changed the topic.

-I have a radio interview and then some photoshoot, and meeting with some directors to talk about new projects.

-it's going to be a long day,

-you said it, I am already exhausted, I don't want to go. I just want to stay by your side

-this is the hard side of the success, baby, you are going to be solicited

-I know but I didn't expect to come so quickly.

-something came so quickly which put your life upside down and no one is prepared, he said bitterly looking down.

She didn't like the way their discussion as turn, she knows the balance was still weak and she had to be careful. She stood up and waved at him to step back, he shook his head questioning.

-Step back, Asad. He did as she said and she surprised him by sitting on his lap.

She slide her fingers into his hair making him sigh, she pecked his lips softly and searched for his eyes.

-my love, I know how it's hard for you, and how much you are angry on life for such cruel fate, but I know that you can do it. God gave a test that we can bare, fate that we are able to change and I know that what he writes for you, it's unfair but you can go through.

-I can't Zoya, this is too hard for me, I wished he just have taken my life instead of this.

- if he took your life, it would have been my test and he knows that I can't bare this, Asad. I can't lose you.

-He put me through hard test, Zoya, I don't know why I can't go above it. Each time I tried, I failed, I feel darkness pulling me down. He held his head desperately.

-Asad, you didn't fail, no one is perfect and we are not all good to pass the exams, we all need time to understand and to accept why it happens to us. I don't know why he put us through this, but all I know it's you can do it, I trust you and I have faith in you and him. I have faith that soon, everything will change and you will be back again. I just want you to accept it and to get free from this hurt, Asad.

-Zoya, what I did to you this last year, and what I am know, is killing you everday, don't you think it would have been much better if...She stopped him to talk, posing her hand on his mouth.

-Never, you won't leave me, Asad.

-Zoya, listen to me, you don't have dreams? Don't you want something else than the life that I have for you?

-I have many dreams and you are in all of them, Asad, and I don't want anything else than a life with you, nothing else, she kissed the corner of his lips.

-you are such a crazy woman

-only about you, Asad Ahmed Khan.

His lips lifted sadly and held her face between his strong hands, she leaned under his grip and closed her eyes feeling his warm touch.

-do you really still love me Zoya?

-Do you think it's a question to ask? She felt hurt

-Do you still love me? He asked again, being selfish and ignoring her calls

-more than anything, more than anything, she breathed.

She couldn't stop herself and showed him what she meant, she kissed him giving him all the proof to his question, comforting his insecurity, wiping his sadness and loving him like she always did.

-does my kisses for you taste differently? Does my love taste differently now? She asked breathless

-No, and this is what amazed me about you, Zoya. I don't know how you can still feel the same for me, I am sure you find mine bitter, he looked at her reddened lips hungrily.

-no, there are just hesitant because you think about your pain when you kissed me and you don't feel it, instead of thinking about love.

-what if I didn't come back that day?

-why are we talking about that, you are alive and safe here with me, Asad.

-what if something happened to me? He cupped her face firmly forcing her to look into his eyes.

-I don't want to answer to this Asad, you are here and please stop thinking about the worst. She pushed her head away from his grip but he took her back to him.

-Please Zoya, I want to know what you feel about, I want to know.

-I would have stop to live, Asad, when the hospital called me that day, I couldn't breath and I went crazy, and I don't want to feel again what I felt that day. I died a thousand death thinking about your... I don't want to think about something didn't happen and because I don't want to live without you.

-Promise me that you will continue your life Zoya if something happened to me, promise me that you will do everything to be happy. I want you to do all the crazy choice, don't stop yourself from dreaming alone or...with someone else, as long as he makes you happy.

-Only if you promise to do your best to be happy with me now, to fight for me and with me.

-Zoya

-No, Asad, you can't ask me to live without you, and you can't ask me to be happy without you, you have no right to ask me such a thing. I have you now and tomorrow and for the rest of my life. I don't want to think about another person, because you are the only one that I want to be happy with.

-You won't promise

-No, I won't promise to live without you, Asad

-I just want you to be happy, I want to best for you.

-the day you will understand that my happiness is you, and all I want is you, you will stop thinking in a wrong way about yourself, about me and about my love for you. I am not a woman to back off easily and you know it.

-I know it, I know how reckless you can be and this is what I love about you, he poked her cheek

-then don't stop loving me, don't doubt about us.

-I'll try

-No, you will do it

-Ok I'll do it

-Fine, she looked at her watch and puffed annoyed, I don't want to go, she looked desperately at him.

-but I guess you have to

-Yes, she whined like a child, holding on him tight.

-baby, you will be late, he stroked her back tenderly and he felt her shaking her head in the crook of his neck. Zoya come on, you are waited.

-Pff, I hate this, wishing me a good luck, she started to straight when he stopped her.

-where is my goodbye kiss? He asked and her shocking face makes him giggled loudly

-you don't need to ask me twice

-I will not ask you twice then.

She kissed him happily and it was hard for her to stop herself from smiling, both of them were not at all into the kiss and it finished more as teasing than kissing.

-I will leave now, she straightened when he held her hand, she looked down at him questioning.

-I didn't get the chance to tell you, but...Congratulation for you reward, you deserve it and I am really proud of you my love, really proud of you. Her eyes wetted at his sincerity, they never talked about it and again, it proved that he started to change.

-I love you Asad, I love you so much, he didn't miss to impress her those last 24h, moving from up and down making her feel dizzy, but it's worth it. This reward was for him and because of him and she felt overwhelming hearing him say this.

He captured her lips softly, kissing her delicately. He never kissed her like this before, it was so surprising and so unexpected experiment, that it left her lost in the moment. He went apart and she found something strange in his eyes that she couldn't decipher.

-I love you more

-wait for me, I am coming soon, my love, I am coming back, she squeezed his hand and left his side. Her heart constricted strangely and she gave a last look at him before leaving, he smiled at her, blinking his eye once to comfort her. She smiled back and left this time.

At the radio station

Karan was already there when she arrived. She greeted him and both signed autograph and took pictures with fans that have been waiting for them.

-How are you beautiful? he asked her

-I am fine

-you look different today

-I am happy, she smiled softly

-it suits you to be happy, I guess Mr husband play a role in such happiness

-yes, she replied shyly

-oh God

-What?

-I should take a picture of you with your red cheeks, you are looking like a lollipop ready to be eaten

-Karan, you are really a nasty boy, you know this

-but you like me, right?

-No, I don't like you, she pulled his ear,

-ouch, Zoya Khan, you know who I am

-no, please remind me

-leave it, you are already paying a diva, I am really disappointed with your sudden changing.

-when are you going to stop behaving like a kid?

-the day I will decide to grow up. Anyway, come here, I will take a selfie...With you.

-No, I don't like it

-Zoya, you should maintain your Instagram account, I told you this before, your fans will need to follow you and it's important for our careers. Don't forget we are in promo. So stop playing old lady and come here.

He clicked around 4 or 5 pictures and each time, Zoya wasn't focusing.

-Zoya please can you look happy?

-I told you, I don't like it.

-Ok, what your husband's name?

-Asad, and her lips spread widely

-perfect keep thinking about him and let me click this precious picture ok.

He brought her close to him, his hand on her shoulder and the side of their face against each other and he clicked. He turned his face toward her and she looked at him surprised and he clicked again.

-perfect my lady, I have at least one, I will put it now on insta right now.

-happy now, can we go and start to work. He nodded.

Both of them took place, putting the earphone. It was an important radio show where actors used to come to promote their movies. Zoya wasn't totally aware about it, she used to follow the show but now before at the other side, it felt weird but her candid and nature personality helped her to look perfect.

-hello to all of you, today we are lucky to have two big stars with us, Karan and Zoya. They make us happy by accepting our invitation. We are going to know more about them, about the movie and for sure about our new golden actress Zoya Khan.

-what about me? Karan protested

-ladies first, the speaker replied playfully

-of course, she had a reward and I have nothing, already we forgot about me, he wiped fake tears.

-you are really such a drama queen, Karan, Zoya teased him back

-you are the queen and I am the drama. Anyway, I will be a gentleman and let the ladies first, ladies like to talk that why they started first.

-Karan, she hushed, smacking his shoulder

-Both of you are looking really close. The speaker tried to know more about them

-He is always like this, Karan likes to joke and he is friendly with everyone. His energy is contagious and it was really so cool to work with. Zoya praised him sincerely and he nodded gratefully at her.

-So let's start with the lady, Zoya, you are young and new actress, and for your first big movie, you have been already reward, how do you manage all this success coming all of sudden?

-Well, she sighed, I let it come, I don't think it exist any receipt to deal with success. You can correct me Karan, she pointed to him and he just nodded at her. I just took it as it come, I know that before this movie, I was unknown and now, I am under the light. I appreciate all the love and support that came from audience and co-stars, I appreciate that my work has been noticed especially when I am not from the industry for such long time. Success it's not only about actors, it's about a team and I am just a part of it, so it's just forced me to be humble. And I also don't forget from where I came, it wasn't easy before this movie, I faced a lot of closed doors and like anybody who wanted to enter the industry, it took me time to be here. And I know how it can be fragile, one day, you are in the top and with a wrong choice, you can be down. Having a reward, it's heavy to carry because you are under kind of pressure to always do the good choice of careers and movies. So it's good but it has also bad side. However, all of this makes me feel lucky and I cherish all this moment.

-She deserved it, she worked really hard on this movie and as newbie, I was impressed by her behavior, she was hungry to learn and she did it well. I just hope she will not act like a diva now, he winked at her.

-This man, she rolled her eyes, YOU are the big star here Karan, she whined

-Yes, I am, he replied nonchalantly making his audience laugh.

-Can you just tell us how you have been chosen and how have you been cast for the movie? Tell us how your fairy tale started

-Well, I am sorry to disappointed you, but it took a classical process, I made an audition for this movie and I was selected, then I received the script. Abi gave me few days to think about it. And then I said yes. That's it

-seriously? Indeed, it wasn't as I expected.

-Well maybe there is a small unexpected part of the story, she said shyly. Both of the men frowned. Actually, I didn't want to do the movie in the beginning, I mean I liked the script but I was about to say no.

-Then what happened?

-My husband convinced me to take it.

-this part is interesting, the speaker retorted, you mean if it wasn't your husband, you would have said no.

-exactly, I remembered we were taking our breakfast, she tried to stop her reddened cheeks, it was one of their naughty breakfast with him. I was really hesitating because of lot of romance and intimate scenes in the script and I wasn't comfortable with it, but Asad, she smiled, forced me to call and to discuss about it with Abi. He told this movie was made for me and he said if I don't take it, he will not talk to me, and I know that he can do it. She chuckled

-it explained your speech during the event

-exactly, he is my lucky star, she said lovingly playing with her ring.

-And you, Karan, what was your reaction when you knew that it was going to be a unknown actress by your side?

-Well, at least, I would have been the star of this movie for sure, he lifted his collar and Zoya giggled. no jokes apart, I didn't hesitate once. You know, if the story was bad, you can put any actors, it will not change anything, the movie will be a flop. I liked the script a lot and it didn't matter who it was in front of me, I know Abi and I worked with him several time, I trusted his choice so when he told me about the movie, I just ran. And then we met with Zoya and the connection just happened between us. And thank God, the movie received only positive criticism.

-And you Zoya what was your reaction when you knew about your co-star? That you are going to play with the sexy Karan?

-I remembered have been shaking like a leaf

-Really? Karan sounded surprise

-Come on, of course, you are such a big star and I was just new. But Karan is really helpful, he is really amazing person, good human being, nice and gentleman with a golden heart. And I am happy that my first show was with him.

-Don't say much, I have a reputation to keep, he hushed enough loud pretending to be unhappy with her praise.

-See, it was just like this on the set, all-the-time, she emphases her words looking at him friendly and he responded with an angry-laugh looking.

-I watched the film and I must say your chemistry pushed the movie to another level, both of them thanked him, and there is one scene in the movie, where you Zoya was crying and I must say that I... just cried bucket during this scene, it was just amazing moment. I wondered how you actors can give such a strong emotion, how you get prepared for such scene and how it affected you?

-I know which scene you were talking about, Karan was the first to answer, it was the end of the movie, and when Abi said cut, I remembered have looked all around me, most of the persons that was there had tears in their eyes, even Abi, and after that there was kind of heavy silence all around, the time has stopped after. I, myself, was affected by her tears, I was supposed to be unconscious during this scene, but even if, it was hard for me to stop myself from moving.

Zoya smiled sadly, she remembered this scene: the hero has just died, killed by a car and the heroine begged him to come back and not to let her alone. This scene moved her and she remembered have thought about Asad so strongly that her emotions mingled with the heroine perfectly, this day she didn't cry for the movie but she cried for him.

-and you Zoya? The speaker broke her thought

-This scene was hard for me, actually, my husband met with a car accident few weeks before shooting this scene, and...Her throat constricted, it was like life has prepared me for this scene, it's really ironic I must say. It was hard for me to stay focus on the script because memories came into my mind during this scene and it cost me a lot to control my emotions and myself as an actress. It was hard...Really hard. She tried to keep a calm face but her eyes moistened suddenly.

-I think any actors can't play perfectly emotion scene if he didn't experiment himself in real life, or heard about or affected someone close to him, emotion can't be invented, you feel them or not, our memories, our life and our family, friends are inspiration to us, for me, any actors showed a part of him, of his soul in such sad scenes. Karan came to her rescue, taking her hand in comfort, at the end my favorite scene, was showing my six packs because, it asked me nothing to feel, he finished with a jokes lighting the atmosphere suddenly.

-what is the definition of love for both of you? Do you think passion only lead to bad ending?

-absolutely yes, I would say, He answered in hurry

-why do you say this Karan? Passion has not only bad side, Zoya was stunned by him

-it is, believe me, I have passion for food, can you imagine if I let myself to the food, I will not expose 6 packs but one pack, so please, passion not for me. He shook his head and his finger frantically.

-and you Zoya?

-I don't have 6 packs, she joked, no seriously, I think passion is just one small part of love. Love is combinations of shade, it's about passion, about compromise, about understanding, about patience and many other things, you just have to balance between all of those definition to live a complete love, you should not give more importance to any of them, when you put passion in front of other emotion, forgetting to be lucid, it can cost you a lot.

-wow, I must say, I didn't know that we have Freud with us? Karan teased her

-Ka-ran, Do you just know who is Freud?

-Of course yes, he is my best friend, I always called him when I can't sleep, he winked at her and she sighed annoyed at him.

-Zoya, you are the married here, can you give us the secret of success marriage?

Asad looked at the road running under his tires, his body tensed and his knuckles firmly gripped at his steering wheel. He turned the sound of the radio higher, he wanted to hear her, he always loved her voice.

There is no secret or any miracle, or receipt for marriage, it's between two persons, a love that both of the persons promised to give to the other unconditionally. It's between man and woman who tried to live with other personality, other habits, for me love is a bridge between two people in love, and life is the weather that will strengthen this bridge or will break it, until the bridge is there, the two will find their way to the other. Life is challenging and love will be challenged.
