"please give me divorce, please I have enough pain through this marriage please I beg you...give me divorce."I pleaded him whilst crying.
"I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU, DID YOU GET IT, HUH?!" He hollered.
He doesn't want to leave me not because he loves m...
I felt his hand on mine, I look at him.He was smiling. I was confused by his behavior.
"What?" I asked.
"Tum duniya ke khwaab dekhti ho, jis ka pal bhar ka bharosa nahi hai. Aaj hain toh kal nahi.(You dream of this world, which can never be trusted of its presence.Today is.. But not tomorrow.)" He said.
"I know but life like that makes you happy and provides you with whatever you desire."I said shrugging.
"But I everything Zaveriya, you and shahzaib are my only desires."He said and I smiled.
. . . . .
Ring! Ring! Ring!
My Phone again rang, It's lunch time right now. I am watching TV, Shahzaib is at school and Ahmed at work. I picked up the call and angrily said,
"Listen, I am not in mood of joke or anything. Tell me who are you? Or else I'll complaint to police."I hear someone laughing on the other line which is kind of familiar.
"I am sorry, Zaveriya."Mr.Khalil?
"Amm...Khalil~?"I asked.
"Yes, Khalil the handsome man you met last week."He said and I roll my eyes on his over confidence.
"Oh."Was my only reply.
"Hame muaf kariyega Zaveriya, per aapki awaz itni khoobsurat hai ki hamse kuch kaha nahi jata.(I am sorry Zaveriya, but your voice is so beautiful that I don't have words to say.)"He said making my heart flutter.
"How did you get my number?"I asked.
"It wasn't hard, anyways I have an offer for you."He said.
"what offer?"I asked.
"I like the way you talk and your hobbies and your way of dressing and the way you look, so will you be my.. "
"WAIT!" I cut him, he was saying everything without hesitation like it's so normal to comment on a woman who is married.
"What... you.. want me.. to be.... your~?" I asked hesitating a little.He chuckle.
"Don't worry Zaveriya~I only want to be your friend. Will you be mine as well?" He said in gentle voice.
Ahmed would be angry, If I ask him such thing. What would I do?
"Zaveriya?"He said.
"Amm.. Give me sometime."I said disheartened.
"Okay, no problem. This is my number you can call me whenever you want. Okay?"He said.
"Okay, bye." . . . . . . . . .
~After 2 days~
My nights are sleepless, After that conversation with khalil. He didn't call after that, maybe he didn't want me to creep out. I always thought to ask ahmed but never gain that much courage. Its not like he will kill me but I don't want to fight with him either. I look to my left, ahmed is sleeping peacefully. I sighed heavily and look at the clock,
11:30 pm
He must be up, right? Rich people don't sleep earlier, as much as I want to be one but I know the reality their sleep betrays them eventually a poor can sleep peacefully than the rich ones.
I took my phone from the stand and walked out in the living room. I sat on the sofa. I look at his caller Id. I am nervous, should I call him or not? Shutting my eyes tightly, I click on call.
Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring!
The phone kept ringing, I bite my lips. Maybe he slept already.I was about to cut the call when he answered.
"Hello?"He said making my heart jump.
"Hello, Zaveriya?"He asked again.
"Hello, this is Zaveriya."I said, he chuckle lightly.
"I know Zaveriya, How are you?"He asked.
"I am... Fine.. Ho-how are you?"I asked stuttering.
"Yes, I am fine now."He said as I can feel him smiling on other line.
"Now?"I asked.
"Aapke phone ke intezaar me bechain teh, ab thik hain.(I was restless while waiting for your call, now I am fine.)" He said making me Smile.
He is such a playful person, who would say he is 39.
"So..what do you think?"He asked and my smile dropped.
"Well~you know ahmed, right? He is little different from others, he won't let me be friends with other male."I said, hoping he would understand.
"So, Its a No?"His voice held sadness.
"No-No, I'll be your friend but just wanna request you something." I said slowly.
"Yes, what is it?"
"Please don't let ahmed know that we talk or we are friends." I said while playing with my top.
"Okay, don't worry he won't know. Now friends, are we?"He asked and this time I chuckle on his eagerness.
"Yes." I said and we talked for a while after that we bid our goodbyes.
I closed my phone and look towards the clock,
1:20 am
I am shock, did we talked that much. I chuckle on this, don't know why but I feel happy. He makes me laugh during our conversation. I won't regret this friendship, I know.
"Why are you up?"Ahmed came out of the room, my smile drop as I became nervous.
"Amm... I couldn't sleep.. So I came out but why did you wake up?"I asked.
He came and sat in front of me than hold both of my hands on his, planting soft kisses on them.

"Anjaan na bane begum, Itne saalo me tumne itna bigad diya hai ki tumhare bina neend chain se aati nahi. (Don't act that you are unaware, In all this year you have spoiled me so much that even sleep became restless without you.)"He said with a smile and my eyes soften.
My heart felt heavy as I didn't ask for his permission.
'I am sorry, Ahmed.' I thought.
"Now let's sleep together, I'll give you head massage and than you'll sleep peacefully." He said dragging me towards our room.
