“ DADU! I told you not to eat sweets then why are you eating this huh “ I said standing in front of my Dadu who was opening a box of sweets on his lap. He looked up towards me nervously smiling.
“ Just a little bit please “ He was about to take a bite when I slightly slapped his hand.
“ No Dadu, the doctor said that you are not fully healthy, you need to take care of yourself and eat healthy. “ I took the box from him and handed him the plate of salad.
“ Eat this if you are craving something “ I said as he pouted looking at me with puppy eyes I shook my head as Dadu rolled his eyes and started to eat salad.
It's been a week since I have been here . The doctors said that Dadu is sick because of high sugar and low blood pressure . We didn't tell him his condition but Dadu is not so well. I looked at him as he was eating while making a funny face that was funny. I smiled even though something heavy tugged on my heart. I sat beside him, hugging him.
“ You are really amazing Dadu the best one “
Dadu smiled and held my hands.
“ And you are my amazing Ayesha. You know when you were born you had a very bad lung condition that doctors declared you as dead. We were all so tired and broken, but then I was walking through the road when I saw a board in which it was written, Ayesha Mean full of Life . That moment my heart spoke your name Ayesha. I gave you the name and the day we were going to bury you. Doctors said that you start to breathe properly and it's a miracle that a baby can fight death like this. I took you in my hand for the first time and I smiled saying thank you to Allah. “
I put my head on Dad's shoulder listening to him. Yes I am a miracle baby, I fight with death , I still have a little lung problem when I am in a place which is short and suffocating.
“ Dadu, does this mean names can save a person? “
Dadu shook his head saying,
“ No name can't save a person but the true hope and trust in Allah can save you from everything. That moment I had the strongest trust in Allah , the greatest of all. “
I smiled as my heart warmed with something I didn't even know.
“ Dadu, you take some rest now, I have some work to complete, okay ? '' Dadu nodded as I left the room. Entering my own room. It was night time and my room's AC was full on.
I look towards my phone when it start to ring
I frowned as it was an unknown number , first I ignored it but then I picked it up.
“ Hello, Ayesha “
My eyes widened as soon as I heard the voice
Me :” baji, oh my god.. How are you, are you okay “
Zoya :” Don't shout ayesha, and yes I am okay.. How about you “
I gulp and spoke
Me :” I'm.. Good “
There was some silence when she spoke
Zoya :” I am so sorry, Ayesha.. I didn't know that baba would force you to marry Ahad , you know didn't want to do this but... I had no other way “
Me :” it's okay baji, you had dreams so you did this, I would have done this too, so it's alright “
Zoya :” How... How is your relationship is going “
Me :” Ahad is so... Nice, he is really a nice person, I thought he was a bad devil but turns out he is a soft hearted person, he takes care of me and makes tea for me.. He got sick just because I wanted to play in the rain and he waited outside my university until I was inside. He protect me— “
A laugh was heard through her side as she spoke.
Zoya :” Girl, are you in love or something? “
Me :” N-no N-no why what happened “
Zoya :"Don't lie Ayesha, I know you.. They way you are talking about him and telling how amazing he is, you fell for him don't you”
Me :” Baji... Actually— “
Zoya :” Oh my my, my cute sister got a big crush on her husband, how Romantic “
Me :” Bye baji.. We will talk later “
She laughed as I cut the call and put my face in the pillow. I am really an idiot. Ayesha is equal to Idiot. I looked up at the window beside me as I rolled my eyes.
My dear husband didn't contact me once, he didn't ask if I was alive or dead. At least like the men in books he could jump through the window into my room to see me. But no Mr clock has so much work to do and here I am getting worried if he is okay or not but I am not going to call him , why would I call him if he doesn't care.
I sigh, lay on the bed and pull out the book I was reading, “ King Of Warth“ . It's an amazing book. Ana is the best writer. People think I am really innocent and I don't even know anything about this world. Just because I am born with some innocent face. Anyways who cares .
“ Mr Ahad.. It's been 12:00 , we all are going home “ My assistant said as I nodded looking at my laptop.
“ You can leave, I have some more work, “ I said as he left.
I have been like this for a week now , everytime I go home I miss her so it's better to stay here and work. I really want to call her but I will disturb her, she is taking care of her Dadu anyways so I don't want to disturb her.
I don't know what happened to me , I was never like that, I am behaving like an idiot. I sigh and was about to close the laptop when I saw a text on Instagram. It was from Mi Amor.. Suddenly my heart started to beat at a fast speed . I get a hold on myself .
So, she has time to text her friend but not me. I mean yes I am that friend and I shouldn't be jealous of myself but , nowadays I am not in my mind .
Me :” hi flower “
Ayesha :” How are you bunny “
Me :” I'm good and you.. Are you still in your parents house “
Ayesha :” I'm good and yep I am still there, you know Dadu is not well yet “
Me :” Are you taking care of yourself or are you forgetting yourself .
Ayesha :” I am taking care of my “
Me :” So.. How's your husband , did you talk to him “
Ayesha :” No.. You know bunny, he really doesn't care about me, he literally didn't even call me once to check on me. I am thinking I am the only one who is having hard time “
I smiled looking at her text, so she is also having a hard time.
Oh flower, you don't even know how much your husband is crazy over you .
Me :” So why didn't you talk to him? You could also text him “
Ayesha :” Noo!! I can't , he will think I am some kind of creep “
Me :” I don't think so, what if he is waiting for a little text from you “
Ayesha :” Then he can wait forever because I am not going to text him first “
Me :” Oh ok ok fine.. “
Ayesha :” Anyways I am going to sleep. Good night “
Me :” Good night “
I wiped my smile as I cleared my throat, I licked her profile and there were so many pictures of her. It is a private account. She just uploaded a picture. It was a book. “ King of Warth “ With the caption
“ Love these fictional love stories “
What type of book this is, a historical fiction , maybe . I need to read this book.
I opened the app and ordered this book. It was written it's a Adult romance.
“ So you read adult romance, this is not Ayesha's thing “ I smiled and packed my laptop before reaching home. As soon as I reached the guards greeted me but this time I stopped and greeted them back asking if they needed anything .
I entered the house and it was silent as everyone already went to sleep. I went directly to my room as now her smell was not there . I already start to hate this room a lot.
I look towards the book on my shelf all packed. The delivery boy must have left this.
I took off my coat and walked towards the bathroom.
I turn on the shower and stand under it, my one hand on the wall. I closed my eyes as the water fell over my scars.
“ Little prince, there's no one to save you “
“D -Don't come near me p-please “ I plead
“ Oops, guys our little prince is crying.. Let's make him laugh a little should we. “
We looked at them in horror as those monsters pulled out the knife. Digging it into my skin ripping it .
“ Laugh little prince. “
“ Laugh if you want this to stop “
“ Laugh!!!! “
I opened my eyes as I found myself in the bathroom. I turn off the shower with my trembling hands. I gulp as I look at myself in the mirror . My body is covered with scars and ugliness. I hate this all. I hate looking at these scars that represent my past. No matter how much strong I became, The little boy is still alive in me who wanted nothing but to end his life like cowards.
I walked out of the bathroom, getting all fresh . The room is as cold as my body right now. I get into the duvet and cover myself. My still coldness was not stopping. What's wrong with me? I grab my phones with my trembling hands. Calling the first person who came into my mind.
1 ring... 2 ring... 3—
“ Hello..... “ Her voice reached my soul as my whole body Shivered and relaxed. I stayed silent, closing my eyes.
“ Ahad.. Are you there “ ... She said as I breathed but didn't say anything. I don't know what's wrong with me but I can't speak. I feel like if I speak I will... do something I stopped doing a long time ago.
“ Are you okay..“ She asked me to shake my head but I know she can't see.
“ Everything will be fine Ahad... “ She whispered as I gulped.
I quickly pressed the red button and put my phone aside.
“ Mi Amor.... I am not okay... I was never... It's only you who makes me feel ok , no matter what you are here for me. “
What are the chances of me going to her room through her window at this hour. ?
0.01%
What will she do if I go and hug her. ?
She will push me away or tell me to leave.
Am I going to do it?
Hell no. I am not but... The warmth of her arms and the smell of her hairs. Her voice and everything.
FUCK IT
I was laying on the bed after the call of Ahad. What happened to him? I never heard him sigh like this. He is tense. I can feel it. I turned on the bed but I could not sleep. I need to know what happened to him. What if something is hurting him? He must be in need of someone. Allah please give him some rest and happiness.
My breath hitched when a hand wrapped around my waist. My heartbeat got faster, not because I was scared but because it's the familiar smell of the person I was thinking about. He snuggled into my neck. Taking deep breaths .
“ W-what are you doing here Ahad” I said as I slowly turned around facing him. His arms were still around me.
His eyes met mine as he put his index finger on my lips.
“ Shh you don't get to say anything, when you have taken over my mind, making me this crazy for you “
My heart skipped a beat at his words. He looked so tired, his hairs were falling over his forehead and his eyes were not like before .
“ Are you overworking yourself Ahad? '' I asked in a worried voice.
“ Shouldn't I be working? “ He asked as I shook my head. “ No not this much “
He pulled me closer, so close that there was no space between us. His eyes landed on my lips but he looked up soon.
“ Come back home “ He said, looking into my eyes with too many emotions. I didn't say anything and just pulled him towards me. Hugging him . His head was resting on my chest and I was running my fingers through his ears . I don't know what happened to him but right now all that matters is him.
He tightens his arms around me as if he is not getting enough of me. His half body was on me and his head was on my chest like a baby. Then he slept so soundly as if he didn't sleep for days. I didn't leave me not for a single minute. I kissed his forehead and we slept like this.
No matter what demons are hurting him , Ayesha will fight for him like her warrior
