Part 31

Episode 32

She woke up when she felt water sprinkled on her face. She blinked her eyes to ease away the darkness. Her vision cleared and she saw Asad hovering over her. Her head was comfortably resting over his chest as they sat on the couch.

"Drink this water," he said and brought a glass of water to her lips. She immediately obliged.

"Are you ok? What happened?" he asked rubbing her shoulder.

He was asking her what happened? Didn't he already know?

"What did you mean by, "I know" last night?" she asked him back, turning to look at his face.

He took a deep breath before telling her what he knew.

Flashback

That day, though, I went to my ammi's room to take your passport...don't look at me like that...I only wanted to see your birthday, I didn't find it. I told you I was looking for my reports and I actually found them and I went to see a doctor for second opinion. He told me that the reports stated that I couldn't handle shock. He took a few tests and told me that I was improving at a quick pace and some sessions of medicated yoga therapy would help me regain my memories. He told me to stay calm and call him immediately if I experienced any headache. I guessed the other doctor would have told you the same and there may be truths I didn't know about. But, I didn't ponder over them. Yesterday when ammi gave me your passport I couldn't help but look at it. When I saw my name behind your name, I knew we were married for a long time. On an impulse I typed in "ZOYA" as my password and it opened. I saw the picture of our wedding and the date on it and I know that we are married for 3 months now. Surprisingly it wasn't much of a surprise, because I guess a part of me knew it. You don't have to be guilty of not telling me. I am kind of happy about it, though I regret not remembering any of it."

Zoya smiled at the irony. Both of them didn't remember their marriage from that time or their first time together.

"And?" she asked ushering him to go on.

"And, that's all. What else?" he asked confused.

She blinked her eyes to stop them from widening. He knew only that much? He didn't know about their baby? How come? He must have seen the results on the mobile.

"Have...haven't you checked your messages?"

"Yes, I have. All boring office work and my email is not connecting without mobile data. I have to recharge my phone," he said, not missing the feel of Zoya tense beside him.

She looked frozen.

"What is it, Zoya? Why did you faint when I asked for the phone?"

Oh God! This was hard! How was she to tell him?

"...uhm...nothing," she said looking away.

"No tell me. What is it?" he said, embracing her from back and pulling her closer.

Well, she had to tell him soon. Why not now?

"Is it something that will shock me?" he asked slowly.

"...hm...I don't know. More like a surprise," she said biting her lips.

"Happy or sad?"

"Happy?" she said, still unsure.

"Then, just tell me," he said, placing a chaste kiss on her collarbone.

She knitted her fingers, frustrated at not knowing a more better way of saying it than a blunt, "I'm pregnant."

"It's ok, Zoya. Tell me when you feel it is right. Just know that I will love you no matter what," he said getting up.

"Don't go!" she said immediately holding his hand.

He smiled, "I'm not going anywhere. I got you a present."

She waited, biting her nails, with a mixture of excitement and nervousness.

He took out a jewelry box.

"What is it?" she asked, curiously.

"Open it," he said handing it over to her.

"I brought it that day at the mall. I have wanted to give it to you ever since."

Judging by the size of the box, she expected it to be a ring. Eagerly she opened it and frowned.

"Why? Don't you like?" he asked, getting a little worried.

"What is it?"

"People call it "earrings"," he said, rolling his eyes.

"Really? People call this "earrings"? Maybe they do. But let me remind you I have two ears and not one," she said handing it over to him.

He frowned as he took it out.

"I saw it. There were two. Where did the other one go?"

"Maybe it is in your bag."

"No, I have had it in my pockets since I bought it."

"You didn't even gift wrap it. It could have fallen down anywhere."

"I'm sorry. This is my first gift to you and it is such a waste," he said feeling dejected.

She took it from him and observed it carefully. It was a simple yet exquisite pearl earring.

"...hm...these are clip-ons. Maybe we can use it after all."

"Really? How?" he asked getting a little excited and immediately added, "And no, I'm not wearing them."

She laughed, "No silly. You said this gift is for me. This isn't for you."

"Then?"

She paused and wetted her lips nervously.

"Well...just wait here..." she said and went to the washroom.

Asad looked at his phone. What surprise did she talk about? Common sense dictated it was in his email. All he had to do is get the mobile data. Before he could think further, Zoya came back.

She was still wearing his white shirt and her blue skirt from morning. Nothing looked amiss or added.

"Honey, I don't see the earring. I half expected you to wear it on just one ear."

"And look like a clown? No thank you."

"So where is it?"

She pursued her lips and walked over to him slowly.

"Well?" he asked again, raising his eyebrows.

Without hesitation, she leaned forward and whispered, "It's on me. Find it."

He turned to look at her wide-eyed and saw her teasing smirk.

"You are on lady," he said, cupping her face and kissing her, all the while moving the two of them towards the still unmade bed.

He picked her up and gently placed her on the silky soft mattress, before joining her. He propped up his head on his wedged elbow and let his index finger trail from her forehead to down her lips, before pinching it.

"You are way too slow," she teased turning to face him.

Laughing, he leaned in to trail his lips down her neck, kissing her while exploring her body with an inquisitive hand. His fingers didn't invade her, just flirted a little. And she squirmed with pleasure, letting out a satisfied moan. When his hand found the ring clasped on her navel, he stopped kissing her, backed up and looked at her. She moaned in protest.

Laughing he touched the now navel ring and said, "I thought the gift isn't for me."

Before she could answer, he pulled his shirt up and kissed the ring and the divine skin around it.

"Asad..."

Smirking, he made way up to capture her mouth in a sensual dance. After a while, they parted for lack of air.

"The gift...isn't for me or you..."

He looked at her confused.

She rested her forehead in his and took his hand to her belly and rested it there.

"You know," she stated in between her breaths.

His face still didn't should recognition.

"You know," she said again, closing her eyes, this time applying a little pressure on his resting hand.

He still didn't understand and then suddenly something from his laptop triggered in his mind. He had happened to come across search history and saw a search item for, "Signs and Symptoms of Pregnancy," dated just before his accident. He had shrugged it off thinking anyone would have searched it. His breath caught in his throat. Was it possible? Was she?

His eyes widened in realisation and surprisingly enough he seemed unaffected with regard to medical danger.

"Zoya?"

She opened her eyes and smiled at him, confirming his suspicion.

His face registered confusion? happiness? wonder? worry? fear? excitement?

She involuntarily cleared her throat.

Then, he did the least expected thing she expected.

He dipped in and kissed her ferociously. It was aggressive and demanding. She tried to pull her mouth from him, but that only deepened it more. She fought his grip by pushing against his chest with her fists, not that it made any difference. Then, as suddenly he pushed away and sat up straight.

"I...I'm sorry."

She placed her hands on her swollen lips and looked at him with confusion. What was wrong with him? He looked angry. Was he mad? But, he did say he wanted babies.

"Asad?"

He looked at her confused face and his eyes softened.

"I'm sorry, Zoya. I shouldn't have hurt you like that."

"Are you angry?"

"What? No...well, yes, for hurting you...and losing my memories and being in coma for the most incredible part of my life."

"Well, it's just been three months. You have seven more months to cherish."

He gave her a weak smile, "I guess."

He opened his arms and she immediately got up and snuggled into his embrace.

"I still can't believe it. I'm so happy. Don't ever doubt that," he said resting his head against her hair.

"I understood that in your kiss. I was so scared that you might doubt me."

"Are you insane?" he almost shouted, pulling away from the embrace but still holding her shoulders. "I should slap you for even thinking of something like this."

"I'm sorry," she said, resting her head against his chest.

"I love you Zoya," he said slowly, he said placing a nervous hand over her belly.

"I know," she said, snuggling closer.

"I really do."

"I know."

"I'm glad I found you. But you never told me our story."

"Well, it's quite a big story..."

*****

"Wow! Even you had your share of memory loss? Weird isn't it?"

"I guess."

"This is scary. What if we lose our memories again?"

"We will fall in love all over again. Don't ask me how. I just know it. How many ever times I forget you, I just know I will fall in love with you again and we do have a legal contract to bind us and now a contract in flesh and blood too," she said smiling, as Asad caressed her belly.

"So this is how destiny works?"

"Ahan," she said, before capturing his mouth with hers.

END.
