chapter 1.
He had sensed that he was attracted towards her ...all those looks they shared did not go unnoticed by him.
She was capable of evoking the feelings in him which he kept buried for far too long, deep in his heart.
He was Asad Ahmed Khan for crying out loud!
But he did not understand how she managed to do that. The stubborn, unruly woman that she was, why did she have such an effect on him.?!
A mere brush of the hands and she easily evoked a desire that spread like fire through him .
His rational mind had evaded him ever since the day he had first laid his eyes on her.
Peace, acted as a long lost friend. After all who wins in the battle of hearts??
He was a lost cause.
And how? she was his undoing, sadly unbeknownst to her.
Repressing a shudder, and looking out of the window, he could hear the deafening sound of the raindrops falling freely from where he sat , he could see the darkness that engulfed the sky in a blanket of pitch black...but he was glad...glad for the deafening noise and the combined darkness that blanketed him and his thoughts from everyone.
Thankfully she was she was sleeping under the effect of her meds'he knew the nightmares would eventually raid in on her sleep.
Because for him, sleeping tonight had been rendered impossible.
He wouldn't dare, even for a second to let sleep overcome him.
He could not bear reliving all those horrific snippets of her being buried in the earth , clawing at his heart squeezing all the happiness out of him. ..Almost telling him to give in and then jerk him back to the heartache he experienced just few hours back. The heartache of losing her & Never to see that smile that brightened up his murky life. Of Losing her and never apologising for every little hurt he caused her.
He remembered how happy he had been upon learning he was allowed three days of peace to look forward to when he heard he was supposed to go Mangalpur. He had sent a silent prayer to Allah thanking him for the opportunity of leaving her and her antics behind which were rapidly ignored by his ammi and Najma.
But like always fate had already hatched a devious plans to bring them together...to an extent that they were bound to each other through handcuffs.
This very closeness that they had shared in the past two days was the cause. Cause of the void that he now felt without her.
Zoya. The woman, who in a day went from someone whom he could not tolerate to someone whom he cannot live without. Someone whom he almost lost before he truly found her. Someone who had shown bravery, that others could only imagine of.
And that is why he was hiding here, ignoring her throughout the dinner. He needed time, precious time to reflect what had happened and contemplate the emotions that were swirling through him. Exactly the reason, why he had to stay away from her.
Hell, probably even she needed to be away from him for a few hours.
This was all so new for him, this feeling of, what was it? He didnt even have a name for it.
If he admitted to himself he knew everything had changed...if he admitted a little more he knew that he wanted it to change...
But he was just so damn scared.
He was scared of what he knew he would uncover about his feelings for her.
Scared of what it meant for the two of them, Scared, most of all of what would change
He wanted to make sure she did not get caught up in the nightmares just yet. She was weak and at a vulnerable stage, nightmares would cause her even more mental trauma'glancing at her door he had an overwhelming urge to go see her;
After all the staying together in such close proximity in these two days...he felt a certain emptiness without her being next to him. He knew she felt it too. The hand gesture of her following his movements back in the living room was the indication enough to believe it.
Rising up from his bed which had no traces of anyone sleeping on it, he slowly made way to her room. He knocked lightly, only to find the door move slightly ... just a second after peering in the room he found himself glued to the spot, feeling the colour rush to his cheeks. In that moment he knew that the vision of her would be forever imprinted in his mind.
