One Shots

Destined to be Yours(2)

This is for my reader yusssu . Happy Reading.

Zaid looked at the mirror where he could see the reflection of his wife who was busy in setting the coffee table with his breakfast. Yes, his not theirs! Because they were just ignoring each other. The morning sunlight strained through the curtains of their room and serenly danced on his wife's face, glowing her face which was looking mesmerizing as always with glasses.

Didn't know from where it all started but there was some pressure of work then he came home late and Shafaq didn't say anything at all, didn't question him over anything. She was behaving normally even talking more than usual and Zaid being in his sour mood stopped her. That too not very pleasantly.

"Be silent for sometime, Shafaq. Can't you see I'm tired. "

Yeah those were his exact words and now when he was going back to those words, they were leaving a bitter taste in his mouth. If somebody had said that to him, he would have smother him but Shafaq only sufficed on being silent, fully ignoring him. They were ignoring each other from yesterday evening and now he was feeling guilty.

Taking a long sigh, Zaid placed the tie back on the bed because he didn't know how to tie the knot. It was Shafaq who did it everytime, also advising him to learn it but he didn't think there would come a time when he would need it because he would always have Shafaq. If he didn't hurt her!

Shafaq had already gone when he was in his reverie. Zaid came to his breakfast; though all was his favorite, he didn't feel like eating at all. Rubbing his nose to move away the annoying feeling of emptiness and guilt, he picked up the glass of juice and gulped it in one go. That was enough.

Zaid exited his room to see his Papa and mother in the living room talking about something. Mummy smiled seeing him as he made his way towards them to bid his goodbye.

"Leaving earlier than usual?" Papa asked as his mother kissed his forehead.

"Yeah. Have some work to finish."

Zaid mumbled, glancing around the room to know the presence of his wife but there wasn't any. She was doing everything to be away from him. Last night Shafaq didn't even come to their room and slept in Daado's room. That thing he came to know in the midnight when Zaid opened Daado's room to see his wife sleeping at other side of the bed. He deserved it!

Maybe she was in her room this time too. Zaid would surely get beaten up by his grandmother because of the thing he did with Shafaq. Bidding his goodbye to his parents, he moved towards Daado's room to see her reading a book without any trace of Shafaq.

"Come in my son." Daado welcomed him which he wasn't expecting at any cost. He gave a small smile moving towards her bed. "Rest properly dear. Shafaq was telling me that you were working till late night that was why she came to sleep with me. With this habit you will spoil your health. "

Great! He would just crush down beneath the weight of his guilt. There was no need for Shafaq to lie to Daado. He would be at peace if his grandmother had scold him or chided him but here she was fussing over his health and all. Just great!

She looked at the car till it became faint from her eyes. Maybe Zaid didn't know, Shafaq was on the terrace. Waiting for him to come to his car to have one look of him because she hadn't been able to look at him from yesterday evening-the time when Zaid scolded her.

Shafaq was utter fool. There was no need for her to become so talkative all of a sudden that too without noticing that her husband was in turmoil, going through some problem. She would have just kept silent. But she hated Zaid's silence-she didn't like to see him all gloomy. So that's what Shafaq was trying to do, to make him talk.
