Zoya couldn't thank Allah enough for having woken up to the day her brother was leaving as it meant Karan would be back tomorrow. Zoya packed her bag and came out of her room to see her brother all set 'Zoya, I am ready to leave, Saqib and Anwar will take you back to halls, you don't need to come to the airport with me' 'ok' she simply said. Farhaan walked up to her and held her by the shoulders 'I am sorry if I upset you the other day...I didn't mean to...but at least I know you will be ok' 'with you Bhaijaan I am more than ok...I just wish you would trust me more' 'I do Zoya, if I didn't I would never have let you go to that camping trip...you know I can compromise on anything but not you...it's not long until the term finishes and then you are coming back...for the engagement' Zoya started smiling 'of course I am...I can't wait...have a safe journey'. Zoya hugged her brother one last time, he left in one car whilst she sat in anther with her annoying duo.
Zoya returned to her halls, she had never been happier to return to her comfort zone, Lisa was ecstatic to see her. Zoya filled in Lisa with everything that had happened 'the man is a control freak...I mean come on buying you a one bedroom apartment' 'well before you say anymore you may want to call Karan, he has been waiting'.
Zoya spent over an hour talking to him 'Zoya Alayna would like to talk to you' Zoya gulped 'really...I mean what am I supposed to say to her' 'how about hello how are you?' 'Was that supposed to be funny?' 'Zoya...Zack and Alayna are not a big part of my life and who I am but one of the most important...and I want them to be a part of your life too' 'I know...I'm sorry I just got a little nervous...give the phone to her I will speak to her'.
'Assalam O Alaikum Zoya' Zoya started smiling 'Wa Alaikum Assalam Alayna, how are you?' 'Very well, I have heard so much about you, I really can't wait to meet you' 'likewise...' Zoya went on to have a really nice conversation with Alayna, before she knew it she had been talking to her for almost forty minutes 'Zoya Karan hasn't stopped throwing daggers at me, I am going to pass the phone back to him, it was lovely talking to you, please keep in touch' 'I nsha'Allah, take care and please pass on my salaam to Zack and his Ammi' 'I will do, Allah Hafiz' Allah Hafiz'
Karan took the phone back from Alayna 'Hey Princess' 'hey...you all set for your flight?' 'Yes, I will be landing around half 8 in the morning' 'I am sorry I won't be able to come to the airport' 'its ok, Imran and Aaron said they would come...I will see you tomorrow, I love you' 'I love you too'
Zoya woke up with renewed energy, he showered and changed and looked at her watch a hundred times as she counted down every minute. Her heart raced, her cheeks burnt a deep red, her smile radiated she really could not wait for him to walk through those doors.
Zoya came out of the bathroom and stopped on seeing him standing there with his back to her 'Karan' she whispered. Karan turned around and as soon as he did she went running into his arms. Karan wrapped his arms around her as tightly as he could. Zoya couldn't help the tears that escaped her eyes as she was taken over by happiness and relief.
'Princess, don't cry, I am back now...and I promise you I won't ever leave you again...I cant, I wouldn't know how to live without you Zoya' Zoya pulled back and looked up at him 'same here...I love you so much Karan, I can't be without you either' wiping her tears away he held her face gently in the palm of his hands, leaning in he placed a kiss on her forehead before he enveloped her in his hold once more.
Zoya and Karan could not bring themselves to tear away from one another, they sat hours on end holding each other close and talking endlessly. 'Karan, you must be exhausted...why don't you go and sleep' 'I am too comfortable here, please don't make me get up' he said nuzzling in closer to her neck. Zoya picked up her pillows and lay them on the rug 'here, lie down here' Karan lay back and as he did he pulled Zoya down with him, Zoya rested her head on his arm and put her arm around his chest lying comfortable in his hold.
'Karan...there is something I have to tell you' Karan pulled himself back a little, Zoya looke up at him 'what?' After Ramadan, the summer break...I have to go to India, Bhaijaan is getting engaged' Karan pulled back completely and sat up making her sit up again 'you can't be serious...for how long?' 'At least a month' Karan lowered his eyes, Zoya was quick to cup his face and make him look back at her 'Karan, I know it is long...but I have little choice...' 'Zoya do you know how hard it was for me to live through the last two weeks...and you are going for a month...I won't be able to do it'.
Zoya smiled at him, she understood how she felt as she lived through it too, she leaned in and placed a soft kiss on his lips 'why don't you come with me' Karan shot his eyes up 'come with you...how...I mean' 'not just you, I will get Lisa and Aaron, you can get Zack and Alayna to come from London...if you all come as my guests to attend Prince Farhaan's engagement' 'Zoya...he has already asked you about me...wont he think it is odd that you invited me...Lisa and Aaron and Zack and Alayna are a couple...I don't want to take any chances' 'ok fine...I will ask Imran to come too...Karan I can't be away from you either and this is the only way I know that we can be away together'.
Karan started smiling 'go back to where I first met my Desert Rose, my beautiful princess' Zoya started to blush 'yes...please come' Karan stroked the side of her face with the back of his hand, he leaned in and kissed her but this time neither one of them were in a hurry to pull back.
