Thank u so much 😊

Thank you Aman 😊

'Zoya there is one more place I would like to take you to' 'where?' 'My place, would you come?' Zoya started smiling 'of course I will'.

Arif drove Asad and Zoya to his apartment, as he parked the car Asad took Zoya's hand in his and led her upstairs.

He opened the door and they both took a step in together 'I...I know you can't see it now...but In Sha Allah you will' 'who says I can't see it, describe it to me' Asad let out a laugh 'ok...let's see where we are now is obviously the door way, the room is open plan...it has a kitchen towards the back. I have three bedrooms and one study. The study and main bedroom are to your left and the other two rooms to the right...does that help?' 'Yes...take me to the first room on the left' 'you mean the study' 'if that is the first room then yes' Asad walked her to the first room and as he did Zoya started counting 'ten steps, ok now to the other room' Asad took Zoya around the whole house, she had made a map of where everything was by counting her step 'now I know where everything is so I know exactly what it looks like' Asad couldn't stop smiling he loved her so much, his heart swelled every time he saw her overcome another obstacle so easily and without complaining.

'Why are you looking at me like that' she said placing her hand on her hips. Asad reached for her right hand and held it in his, he took a few steps forward to close the gap between then 'do you know how amazing you are?' 'Just a little' she said making him laugh.

Asad sat Zoya down on the sofa 'wait, let me get you something drink' As he was about to walk off his phone rang 'Assalaam O Alaikum Ammi...yes I am fine...Ammi you never guess who I have here with me...yes...I will fill you in with what Dr Han said later but first I want you to speak to her'

Asad walked back towards Zoya 'Zoya its Ammi would you speak to her?' Zoya started to look nervous 'me...Ammi...what am I going to say' 'just say hello'. Asad passed the phone to Zoya

'Assalaam O Alikum Aunty'

'Wa Alaikum Assalaam beta, how are you?'

'I am well, thank you...and you?'

'Much better now that I have spoken to you. Asad has told me so much about you, I really wish I was there to see you'

'Are you not planning to come?'

'I will soon...I hope Asad is treating you well, he is a little funny with expressing his feelings, doesn't always come across the way he would like'

Zoya started giggling

'He is doing just fine Aunty...and yes he is looking after me, thank you'

'No Zoya, if anything I should be thanking you, for the first time my son has ever felt anything for anyone, and you have embraced him in your life as much as he has you...so thank you for becoming a part of this family Zoya, may Allah always bless you. Take care'

'Allah Hafiz'

Zoya passed the phone back to Asad 'she sounds as lovely and beautiful as you do...thank you Asad'

Asad didn't respond, he felt a lump in his throat 'umm...I'll just get that drink for you'

'Asad, what time is it?' 'It's just coming up to 7' 'I should be going, its late...I don't want Mr Sharma to start worrying'

'Ok, let me just get my keys'

Zoya was all ready by the time Asad came back 'you ready?' 'Yes... Asad, thank you for today, I don't think I have ever had one so perfect...I mean, being told that I have a good chance of being able to see again, coming here to your place, spending all this time with you, speaking to your Ammi and then I got my first...' Zoya stopped as she felt her cheeks go red 'your first what Zoya?' Asad asked 'oh...its nothing lets go' As Zoya turned around he held on to her elbow and turned her back around again 'no tell me...first what?' 'my first kiss'.

Asad looked at her with wide eyes 'you did...by who' Zoya's mouth opened and her eyes glared, she hit his across the chest 'Asad...how rude...by you of course who else?' Asad looked at her confused 'Zoya...I would have remembered if I had kissed you...and I didn't' 'Ya Allah...what is wrong with this guy...Asad, in the hospital, when you kissed the side of my head'

'That was a kiss...ohhh...wasn't that just me being affectionate?' 'Maybe but for me it was my first kiss...now we have that cleared we can go' 'No...wait...how come you get to go home having had your first kiss and I get nothing...I want one too'.

Asad fought hard control his laughter as he saw her face 'Asad...' She whispered before she turned around. Asad walked around her 'Zoya...no need to look so scared, I was only teasing...come on let's get you home'. Asad started walking towards the door when he stopped 'Zoya...come on' he said seeing her still standing in the same place.

Asad walked back up to her 'hey are you ok' he asked in a concerned tone of voice 'Asad...I'm sorry I didn't mean to...' 'Zoya I was teasing...its ok...don't over think it' Zoya held on to his hand 'no wait...I want this too...I want to give you back what you gave me' Asad held his breath as he realised what she was asking 'Zoya...' Zoya started to shake her head 'No Asad...now you don't over think it...I am ok with this if you are...every girl dreams of her frist love and first kiss...its not a dream I ever dreamt as I am not every girl...' Asad quickly placed his finger on her lips 'don't you dare say anything to put yourself down or make you different from anyone else Zoya, your ability to live life regardless of anything is what keeps you going don't start to put that in to question'.

Asad closed the gap between them; he cupped the side of her face and held it softly. Zoya could sense his hesitations 'I promise I won't think you are taking advantage of a blind girl' she said making him let out a chuckle 'even at a time like this you joke...you are crazy...hope you know that' 'yes...crazy about you' 'Zoya are you...' 'Asad...are you going to kiss me or not?' she said narrowing her eyes. Asad smiled at her confidence and the trust she had in him, as he closed the gap between their trembling lips Zoya closed her eyes and sucked in a breath.

The second his soft lips came into contact with hers her stomach erupted with a thousand butterflies, she held on to his arm to support herself as he continues to kiss her softly. Zoya let out the breath she so dearly held on to when he parted his lips. Asad rested his forehead against hers 'now that is what you call a first kiss'.

Zoya wrapped her arms around him and hugged him as tightly as she could 'I love you so much' 'I love you too'.
