Ahad's POV:
"Who is the man?" I smiled hearing her and looked at her.
"Luke." Her eyes widened hearing me or may be hearing her friend. I chuckled when she didn't say anything for some time. I shook my head and continued reading my book while she kept talking to her. After some time I felt her sitting beside me and looked up when she didn't take her eyes off me.
"What?" I raised my brows at her and she smiled.
"When are you fulfilling your promise?" She asked and I rolled my eyes. Like father like daughter.
"Tomorrow morning." I said smiling at her and she squealed making me chuckle.
"Let me just pack my bags." She said running inside while I just kept looking at her back.
"I see." I said walking behind her who turned to me.
"Someone is so excited to leave this house." I said looking at her who rolled her eyes hearing me.
"I'm not excited to leave this house, Mr.Singer. I'm excited to meet my parents." She said smiling widely and I chuckled.
"I know. I was just pulling your leg." I said pinching her nose and she chuckled.
"Should I help you?" I asked looking at her who was taking out her dress from thr closet.
"No, Mr.Singer. I'll do it by my own. You rest. You need it." She said smiling at me and I rolled my eyes.
"I'm just injured. I'm not sick that I need to be in bed all day." I said sitting on bed and looked at her who chuckled hearing me.
"Yeah. That's why you were acting like a sick baby boy in the morning." She said smiling at me and I rolled my eyes.
"It was just for some time." I said touching my back with the bed and she looked at me.
"And don't forget, we had little romance, Mrs.Vocab." I said smiling at her and she rolled her eyes but smiled at the end. Morning was the best I swear.
"Aren't you too much interested in romance today, Mr.Singer?" I looked at her hearing her and smiled.
"Life of a couple is boring and tasteless without romance, Mrs.Vocab." I said smiling at her and she kept looking at me then chuckled.
"How will you do the romance when I won't be here, Mr.Singer?" She asked keeping her dresses in her suitcase and I smiled.
"Romance doesn't have to be clingy, being touchy, and kisses and all. A sweet little love talk is also counted in romance, love." I said smiling at her and she kept looking at me then smiled getting busy in her work.
"What happened to you today?" She asked making me smile. Even I don't know.
"I don't know." I said looking at the ceiling with a smile.
"May be effect of your love." I whispered to myself and shook my head. What's wrong with me today? Damn. I got out of bed and was about to walk out of the room when I heard her.
"Where are you going?" I looked at her and smiled.
"To the garden." I said smiling at her and she nodded her head.
"Don't go anywhere with that hand of yours." She said pointing at my hand and I rolled my eyes. I walked towards her who looked at me weirdly.
"I would love to break my another hand too, Mrs.Vocab." I said bending down at her level and she looked at me with wide eyes.
"What?"
"I love it when you get worried for me." I said smiling widely and she narrowed her brows at me.
"Get lost before I do something." She said glaring at me and I smiled.
"What will you do? Will you kiss me?" I asked smirking at her and she smirked back.
"Yes. But my hands will do the work." She said keeping her hands on her waist and I got back on my normal position clearing my throat.
"I better go from here then." I said looking at her and she nodded her head.
"Better." I chuckled walking out of the room but an idea came in my mind. Lets give her a shock. I peeked my head inside and smiled.
"I won't mind your hands doing their work on my body, Mrs.Vocab." She turned to me hearing me and I chuckled when I found her eyes widened. Got you, love.
"YOU." I ran from there hearing her while laughing. I walked downstairs and sighed when I found the living room empty. This always happens. Whenever we have work at night and we come late, our house is dead for that whole damn day because everyone is busy in completing their sleep. I walked outside to find girls busy in their talks but with their phones in their hands. I don't understand how they are talking and laughing and even using their mobile phones along with it.
"Good evening, girls." I said walking towards them and they turned to me then smiled.
"Oh! Someone got time from his romance." I rolled my eyes hearing Gaby while others chuckled. I took my seat beside her who smiled at me. They started talking and asking questions about how we entered and everything while I was explaining them everything. After some time I walked inside and went towards Ammi's room. I opened the door slightly and my lips smiled when I found her sitting beside Abbu with her back touching the head rest while her eyes were fixed on Abbu.
"May I come in?" I said knocking on the door and she turned to me then smiled.
"Of course, son." I smiled walking inside while she fold her legs making a place for me. I lied down while keeping my head in her lap who instantly started caressing my hair making me close my eyes.
"How's your hand?" I smiled hearing her.
"Alhamdulillah good." I said with a smile and still with closed eyes.
"But you know what Ammi." I said opening my eyes and looked at her who nodded her head.
"I don't want it to get healed soon." I said chuckling at her and she looked at me with frowns.
"Why?" I smiled hearing her and she kept looking at me then narrowed her brows.
"Hmm?" I chuckled hearing her.
"That smile is enough to tell someone why." She said pinching my nose making me laugh.
"Is that so?" I asked and she chuckled nodding her head.
"Had Abbu ever said this?" I asked looking at her and she smiled.
"When he was injured, he hid it from me, son." She said shaking her head and I sighed with a smile.
"Your Abbu was master in hiding things." She said shaking her head while turning to him and I sighed.
"And you got that trait of him." I looked at her hearing her who started caressing my cheek.
"Really?" She nodded her head.
"Yeah. You are very good in hiding those pain behind the curtains of these grey eyes. But remember son, you can fool the whole world but not a mother." She said smiling lightly at me and I closed my eyes when she placed a kiss on my head.
"A mother knows her child like an open book." She said keeping her chin on my forehead making me smile. Indeed she knows. She isn't called a mother without any reason. She bears a lot of things to bring her child into this world. We were silent on our place when I heard Ammi.
"How did you convince Shafeeq to send his team for your help, Ahad?" I smiled and opened my eyes who got away from me and looked at me.
"I made a deal." I said smiling at her and she kept looking at me weirdly.
"That I'll give him his daughter and he'll send his team." I said smiling at her and her eyes widened.
"What?" She more like shouted and I chuckled.
"For a week, Ammi." I said smiling at her and she rolled her eyes then glared at me.
"Then complete your sentence all at once. You scared me." She said glaring at me and I chuckled.
"Come on, Ammi. I'm not from those people who will leave his wife in exchange of a team. I would have handled myself all alone but would have never left her." I said smiling at her and she chuckled smiling widely.
"Not at least now." I whispered closing my eyes and heard her chuckling.
"Why? Is something happening?" I smiled hearing her.
"I guess so." I whispered and felt her keeping her lips on my head.
"Something deep inside my soul." I whispered and felt her smiling. Its a weird feeling. Allah! What's happening? After some time I walked upstairs and went to Gaby's room to find her sitting on bed with her phone in her hands. She looked up when I entered and smiled.
"I was waiting for you." She said keeping her phone away and I smiled sitting beside her.
"So Madam realized that she can share things with me." I said looking at her and she chuckled.
"Looking happy." I said smiling at her and she smiled looking away from me.
"You can say. I'm happy." She said smiling at me and I smiled. Alhamdulillah.
"Doesn't his thoughts make you sad anymore?" I asked looking at her and she thought for some moment then shook her head.
"Hm. I decided to give a try to another person." She said smiled at me and I kept looking at her for some time then chuckled. But what about Rafy then?
"Really?" She nodded her head blinking her eyes making me smile.
"I wonder who that lucky person is." I said looking at her and she smiled.
"Do you think he is lucky?" She asked looking at me and I frowned.
"And why do you think he isn't lucky?" I asked and she sighed.
"I might be his first love, but he isn't my first. I have a worst experience in my first love." She said shaking her head and I sighed.
"First love doesn't matter, girl. True love matters. His and your love should be true for each other. You guys should be loyal to each other. You guys should trust each other blindly." I said smiling at her while she was listening to me silently.
"Sometimes this blind trust breaks you into pieces, bro." She said looking away from me and I sighed.
"But you decided to give this person a chance because you trust him, right?" I said looking at her and she turned to me.
"Yeah. I guess so." She said making me sigh.
"But this time I won't keep my full trust." She said shaking her head and I frowned.
"But you can't just keep doubting on him." I said shaking my head and she sighed.
"I won't doubt but I won't either put my whole trust. I'll tell him honestly that I have been through this and I'm not ready to put my whole trust." She said shrugging her shoulders and I smiled.
"It's better then." I said smiling at her and she chuckled.
"Do you think he'll accept me after I said something like this?" She asked me and I smiled.
"If he truly loves you, then he will understand." I said smiling at her and she smiled nodding her head. She opened the side drawer and took out a box. I was looking at her totally confused who opened the box and smiled then looked at me.
"This." She said passing me the box and I frowned.
"I'm ready to give a chance to this person." She said smiling at me and I looked down in the box. But my lips formed into a smile when I found 'Secret Admirer' at the bottom of every small and tiny note.
"You..." I looked at her who was looking at me.
"Decided to give this person a chance?" I asked pointing at the card in my hand and she nodded her head.
"Whom you haven't met?" I asked and she nodded her head.
"Whom you don't know?" She again nodded her head making me smile. Rafy, you are successful, dude.
"Shouldn't I?" I looked at her hearing her and shook my head immediately. Of course, you should.
"No. Go ahead. Meet him, get to know him, spend time with him." I said smiling at her and she smiled.
"And who knows, may be you end up spending your whole life with him." I said smiling at her and she rolled her eyes.
"That's too fast, bro." She said making me chuckle.
"Should I start the hunting then?" I asked looking at her with raised brows and she chuckled.
"Is that even a question to ask?" I chuckled hearing her and smiled wrapping my arms around her when she hugged me.
"It feels too good to see you finally happy, girl." I said kissing on her head and she chuckled.
"Call me Appi. I'm the elder here." She said pulling away from me and I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah yeah why not." I said rolling my eyes and she chuckled. After some time we all had dinner. Everyone left for their room while I walked inside my room and smiled finding her looking at the bed where two dresses were placed. I closed the door and she turned then smiled.
"Thank god you are here, Mr.Singer. Now help me in choosing the dress." She said smiling at me and I smiled walking towards her.
"I'm not able to decide which one to wear." She said pouting her lips and I smiled. I pecked her lips and smiled pulling away from her who was stunned then glared at me.
"You can ask for a kiss if you want, Mrs.Vocab. You don't have to give hints." I said smirking at her and she glared at me making me chuckle.
"I don't have to give hints to you, Mr.Singer. I will kiss you directly if I want to." She said smiling at me and I chuckled. And there I saw the girl whom I met for the first time. Allah Allah!
*********
"You should also go and stay there for two days, Ahad. Its a tradition." Habiba Khala said smiling at me and I chuckled.
"My father-in-law invited his daughter only. Not his son-in-law." I said looking at her who glared at me making me chuckle.
"Ahad." I chuckled hearing Ammi. After meeting everyone we left for our destination. I turned to her who was way too silent and frowned when I found her taking deep breaths with closed eyes.
"You okay?" I asked and she turned to me then sighed.
"This is the first time I'm more excited to meet Abbu. Weirdly." She said looking at me and I chuckled.
"Enjoy and try to mend your relationship with him in these days, love. You've got an opportunity." I said smiling at her and she nodded her head with a smile.
"Will try my best." Allah, please help her in making everything right between her and her Abbu. Not loving or spending time with your Abbu is something I know. And I know how it feels. Getting up everyday with a hope to hear your Abbu's voice but seeing them crash down at the end of the day, is something which I still go through. And I wonder until when do I have to bear this.
*********
I parked my car and got out of the car. I frowned when I found the garden empty. Usually everyone is here. I went to the backyard and I got more confused when I found it empty too. What is happening? My heart started pounding thinking of every possibilities. I hope everyone is okay. I walked more like ran inside and gulped when I found the living room empty. Ya Allah, please keep them safe. I took slow steps forward but stopped when I heard.
"Bhai." I looked up hearing Delilah to find her with wet face.
"Deli." I walked towards her and held her by her shoulders.
"Everything okay? Why are you crying, girl?" I asked wiping her face and she bit her lips nodding her head.
"Hm. Everything is okay." She whispered looking at me and I shook my head.
"Wha-"
"Everything is okay, Bhai." She said looking at me while tears fell down her cheeks making me more confuse.
"Deli, you are scaring me." I said looking at her and she smiled wiping her face.
"Come, Bhai." She said holding my hand and we walked towards Ammi's room. My brows frowned when I found everyone standing outside their room. What's happening?
"Raf." Deli said and every eyes turned towards us but my eyes widened when I found each and every face wet while eyes holding tears.
"What's happening?" I asked looking at them and they smiled lightly at me. I looked at Rafy whose eyes also had tears. My heart skipped when the only thought came in my mind was Abbu.
"Abbu?" I looked at Rafy who smiled lightly at me.
"What's... what's with this smile, Rafy?" I asked looking at him while my eyes teared up.
"Uncle Dan." He said smiling at me and I walked ahead towards the door. I was about to enter inside but my feet stopped finding the scene which I have been waiting for years. Ammi and Azzu hugging Abbu while Abbu's one arm was wrapped around them and both of them were talking to him with teary eyes. Oh Allah! I covered my mouth with my palm to stop myself from crying out loud. I can't believe this happened. This really happened. Abbu woke up. After years. Miracle happens in real. And it's HIM who made them happen. Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah.
"Years went fast, beautiful." I sobbed lightly hearing him. His voice. I have yearned to hear this voice. I have yearned for him to hear him calling 'Beautiful'. I turned to the other side and started walking away from them with tears falling on my cheeks.
"Aha-" I heard Gaby calling but she stopped when she heard Rafy.
"He needs time." For what? I don't know. I have been waiting for this moment from a long time then why do I need time? Why did I walk away from there? I should have ran towards him and hugged him. Why am I running away? I took my seat in my car and drove out without knowing where am I going. I kept driving and stopped when I found myself in front of a Masjid. My lips smiled lightly with teary eyes and I walked inside. Of course I have to be here. I have to thank HIM. HE is indeed the merciful. Alhamdulillah. After performing wudu and praying Shukrana, my head bowed down in front of my creator and tears took up their speed.
"Thank you so much, oh Allah! Ya Raheem, you are indeed the merciful. Ya Malik, Ya Gaffar, Ya Kareem, Ya Rehman, Ya Gafoor, no matter how much I cry and thank you, those thank yous are less in front of your blessing, mere Malik. Thank you so so so much for giving Abbu back to me. Thank you so much for waking him up. Thank you so much for giving him another chance. Thank you so much for giving us a chance to spend time with him. Mere Malik, thank you so much for giving him chance to be with us. Ya Allah, thank you so much for fulfilling our most awaited Dua. Thank you so much for giving us the most sweetest fruit of our Sabr, Allah. Thank you, Allah. Thank you so so so so much. Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah." And I kept crying in front of HIM. And I will cry daily while thanking HIM in every prayer. After some time I freshened up, and walked out of the Masjid. I have to go home because I know once my little trouble finds out that I ran away, she'll freak out and will start troubling others. I was driving and my tears were still not ready to stop but what shocked me the most was the road I was on. I was not on the way to my house. And in no time I found myself in front of her house. Why? Why did I come here? I turned to my left only to find her standing at the gate as if waiting for me and I found myself relaxing. Something deep inside my soul made me feel relax making me realize that she is not just my wife. She has become something more than that. More more than just a wife.
