Chapter 8:"Seeds of hope".
I am in love with Usman and Anabia that I can't stop writing. This is the third update in a week.
Let me know what your thoughts are on them?.
And Akbar is in 😍.
******
Akbar throws a juice can he bought from the hospital machine towards him that he catches before Akbar stands beside him on the hospital rooftop looking at the small town in front of them.
"What were you thinking?". The anger in Akbar's voice was not hidden, "If you weren't sick I would have punched you before speaking to you. You actually thought that running from your security is the best thing?. And to top it all, you thought you can escape from my radar?. We have the best system and people with us how far you can think you can run from us?".
He sighs heavily, "I just wanted to be alone with her. She doesn't like security around her and it makes her uncomfortable. I already know that if our security was here they wouldn't have let me be".
"That's because we have enemies on every step we take. We have high prices over who will take our head every single day. Do you think it was still wise?". Akbar asked agitated
"I don't care. All I care about is her and I am losing her too". He said leaning on the wall closing his eyes, "Every minute we spend together I see the pain in her eyes which kills me inside".
Akbar nodded understanding, "Do you know that it was same with Zainab?".
"What do you mean?". He asked confused turning to him while Akbar looks straight ahead
Akbar sighs, "The day I met her after years in that party and the day that follow along even after our marriage all I ever saw in her eyes were accusation, questions and agony. I always took a step back whenever I found the pain with my name because I was confused. Though, my case is different from you because I didn't intentionally do anything but I did kind of did it intentionally too. I neglected her if I would have been there it would have saved her from a lot of pain. That's beside the point, you hurt her intentionally, Usman, to the point that she might never trust you again. But, if you truly love her and you want to be with her all you have is this one chance. One last chance is all you have to get back the key to your heart because if you fail or stepped back now you will regret it for your life. I married Zainab because whatever that pain she had I wanted to take it away. You have to find a way to wipe her pain away".
He nodded understanding, "Why are you here?".
"To save you from getting killed by weak enemies. I mean I prefer you dying from some strong ones but you are an open target to the weak and that will be very insulting on our image". Akbar said grinning
He shakes his head with a smile, "You won't let anyone kill us as long as you are alive especially after Kabir".
There was a long pause because Kabir is still the sore topic after all these years for them.
"That's true". Akbar said smirking, "Just so you know enjoy the treat that comes your way".
His eyes widen, "Don't you dare do something, Akbar".
"Don't you trust me?". Akbar asked innocently
"Not at all. You are evil and everyone knows it. Don't even think about doing something like what you did to Zafar because he might not have killed you but I will". He warned
Akbar laughs, "Give me some credit that idiot is with his love because of me. No one can stop me beside my wife and the fun part is she is just as crazy as me".
He groaned.
"It's good to see you like this". Akbar said after a moment and he frowns confused, "Talking normally. You don't speak a word even to your own friends, Usman. Your feelings are always yours and you never share with anyone. It's good to see that you are changing to better and I do hope that she forgives you".
He nodded as they spend more time in silence until Akbar's helicopter landed and he left him alone with his thoughts. He knows he had to win her back and to do that he will do anything. Whatever it is needed he will do it. He decided to head back to his room before she is awake and decide to kill him.
Just as he exits to his floor he finds her looking around anxiously making him frown at the clear sign of worry in her eyes. The look of fear the crossed her features made him take a stride towards her holding her hand to have her look at him.
That's when he was slapped.
His eyes widen looking at the fierce woman looking back at him. She had never even raised a voice at anyone much less slap, someone. That was beside the point after slapping him hard enough she pulled him towards her wrapping her arms around his waist as he feels his shirt getting wet from her tears.
"Jaan, what's wrong?. Why are you crying?. Please tell me". He asked concerned at her weeping so badly
He wrapped his arms around her thankful that they were at the private ward corridor so no one will come there way. He pulled her tighter towards him patting her back and his one hand on her head soothing her in a gentle manner as he whispers sweet words to her.
He knows she is sensitive to almost everything. She would cry for hours after watching a dumb movie where the main character died while he looks at her blankly while she continued to complain for a month about it to him. His ears would bleed and all he wished to gather everyone involved in that movie to blast them so he doesn't have to hear more of it.
That would look like a good plan back then he didn't work on. However, if he finds out who hurt her this time for her to cry this bad he might just plan a good enough plan to blow people up.
He holds her hand when she wouldn't stop crying taking her back to their room making her sit on the couch as he sits in front of her holding her hand and wiping her tears away.
"Jaan, please". He pleaded holding her hand tighter
"Where were you?. Why did you leave?. Where did you leave?. Why were you gone for so long?. Do you know how worried I was?. I was looking everywhere and I didn't find you. Your phone was shut down and I--". She said in one breathe until he places a hand over her mouth stopping her
"You were worried about me?". He asked grinning after such a long time as the seed of hope stems within him
"Is that all you hear?. Where were you?". She asked taking her hand away from his to wipe her tear away but he beats her to it
He caresses her cheeks smiling softly, "I went to the rooftop because I was feeling down. I am good now".
"You could have left a note or asked me to come with you. What if something happened there?. What if you fainted?". She argued angrily glaring at him
"I am sorry. You were sleeping and I didn't want to disturb your sleep. I promise I will be careful next time". He said gently trying to take her anger away because even he was scared now
"There should not be the next time". She said stern and he nodded immediately not wanting to anger her
She sighs tiredly leaning on the couch and soon she was asleep. He chuckles watching her shouting and slapping him just a moment ago and now she was passed out as nothing happened. He had to agree she gained strength because from the last slap to this slap one he knows that his cheeks hurt badly now.
He doesn't care because he was over the moon to know she cared for him. His Anabia cared for him.
Only if he could shout that to the world.
He looks at her sleeping and her hands still in his hands. He smiles looking down at their intertwined hands loving the feeling of holding her hands. He turns her hand over starting to draw a random heart on her palm loving his own actions to no bound. But then he frowns watching as she had to sleep at the couch even though the couch wasn't ordinary one he didn't want her to sleep on this damn couch.
Without any more thoughts, he held her in his arms being careful of not waking her as he walks towards his bed placing her down climbing right beside her. Just as he did she came crawling towards him and her head on his chest. The pure euphoria he felt that very moment of having her in his arms after almost seven years of being away from her caused his heart to beat at an irregular pace.
He remembers holding her in his hand every night gazing at her peaceful sleeping face. She has a baby face and it always seems to stay the same but his feeling didn't. His feelings grow every day he spent with her. Her presence and her personality started to grow on him. He was scared at one point and he wished he wasn't that much of an idiot back then.
That he had said those words before her.
That he had told her everything before she found out.
That he was the reason for her happiness, not her tears.
She stirs in his arms moving more closer and he wraps his arms around her pulling her towards him. He brushes her hair away from her face trying to memorize her features so that when she pushes him away from her again at least he can hold onto this moment.
He moves his finger over her feature and at a flick of moment everywhere his fingers touched his lips followed. He peppers kiss all over her face making her groan and he chuckles kissing her forehead one last time as he closed his eyes.
She opened her eyes feeling stuck in something until her brain starts to function and she found herself in his arms securely. She knows he must have done it but last night when she had felt the fear of losing him and not seeing him had her on edge. She wasn't sure if she should be angry with herself or him.
She decided she needs to have some fresh air so she leaves his arms not before leaving him a note telling him that she went to the hotel before he burns the hospital down again. She exits to the hospital towards his car driving back to the hotel. As she exits the car she felt someone looking at her as she turns around she found no one so she went to her room.
He opens his eyes feeling better than yesterday. Maybe all the meals he had eaten had finally started to work on him.
He was lying.
It was because of what happened last night that had him feeling this way. Having her near him and comforting her was the best thing ever. Though his heart hurts watching the tears in her eyes but the excitement overcome that. He looks around to find her gone making it all gloomy again.
Well, at least she didn't kick him down the bed.
He turns around to find the note from her making him smile as she had mentioned the time of her arrival. He immediately freshens himself and this time he did look at himself he found that he needs a makeover. So, after breakfast, he ordered the staff to bring him a few things needed to groom himself in his true self.
He shaves his beard leaving a light one which she likes then he proceeds to move his hair away cutting a few in the process as she had taught him because he doesn't like anyone touching his hair. Lastly, he wore more comfortable clothes instead of the regular hospital gown.
He was so ready to meet her now.
She heard her phone ringing as she exits on the hospital floor. She looks at her secretary calling to update her about everything especially the delay in the process.
She opens the door of his room, "Yes, please send me an email--".
She didn't even get to finish her sentence as she found herself wrapped in his arms. It took her a moment to realise that he was hugging her tightly making her breathing hitched when she inhaled his familiar cologne on him. His clothes look more comfortable while her body remains trapped in his strong hands.
He looks like her Usman.
Her secretary ended the call and her hands remain on her side trying her best to not feel the comfort she feels in her heart but she did. She did feel everything all over again.
He couldn't stop the grin when he saw her opening the door. He had been looking at the door all this time impatiently for her to walk through it and the moment she did, he couldn't help himself from running towards her and holding her in his arms. She felt right in his arms and he feels his heart fluttering at the feeling of her in his arms. Although, they have been together his mind had been everywhere to feel these small pleasures and now that he does they are all too new to him.
"Did you eat breakfast?". She asked after a moment trying to break free but he didn't let her
"Yes, I did. All of it". He said smiling widely pulling back to look at her face, "Did you?".
"Yeah. I ate in the hotel". She replied taking a step back before she loses her mind around him
"Was there something important?". He asked and she frowns, "You left so early so was there something important that needed you?".
"Kind of". She answered moving to sit on the couch and he places himself right beside her making her gulp at the feelings of his arms brushing against her
"I didn't cause you to lose the deal, did I?". He asked worriedly
She shakes her head, "That man is not selling that place to anyone so there is not much of a difference besides that I need to complete my three weeks work in two now".
"You are here for a month?". He asked grinning because that means they will be together all this time
"Yes. I need to buy that hotel so I can have my name on it". She said shrugging as she looks at the email her assistant sent her
"Wait, the hotel you have now isn't that Inaya's?. How do you know her?". He asked confused and her eyes widen at his words
She didn't want him to know the truth.
"I just know her". She said trying to ignore the topic
"How?. Why did she hand her hotel to you?". He asked again, "You know her because of something".
She will be dead soon.
"Of course not. I never met her when I was with you because you never allowed me near them. Why will I know her?.
"Then how?".
"I was just looking for a hotel and stumble upon her opening one so I took it".
"I don't understand why she bought hotel of all things in first place and it doesn't make sense as to why she will give it to you?. Did she know about our marriage?. Did she helped you because of what happened between us?. Did she know?. She know you because of me?".
Shit!
