64. The Nineteenth Birthday
Damn. My bad luck. I don't want to accept his help.
Reluctantly I open his car's front door and sit on my side while cussing some swear words to those crazy witches. My pride!
Ashar starts the car after giving me a quick glance. "You smell of coke. Did you pour the drink on your dress instead of glass?" He mocks, looking at me through the corners of his eyes.
I shoot him a glare, trying to hide my embarrassment, "Drive fast. Your presence is suffocating me." And that rotten smell that is coming from me.
His car seat would also get sticky because of my clothes. Ugh. I want to explode into anger right now at him and tell him this is because of him, those nutcases are pestering me because of him. But, I abstain myself. I don't want to do anything with him. I'll handle my problems by myself.
"Okay, just answer my one last question." He glimpses at me.
Instead of replying him, I lean back my head on the car seat and close my eye

Am I married? 65. Last Party at the Mansion
Hobsons arranges a grand celebration on New Year's Eve at their mansion. Ashar's parents have also invited me and insisted that I should be there too. It's my first party at the mansion and probably the last one as well. The celebration is arranged at the back side of the mansion as usual. Most of the Hobsons's events are organized at the backyard. I'm not willing to be a part of their celebration especially with the outgrown tummy and chubby features, but still I'm attending it upon Matt and Katherine's request. Katherine has arranged a beautiful, maternal gown for me. My blue, floor-length gown is elegantly designed with a fitted lace bodice, made of pure silk. My makeup is soft and my hair are loosely resting on my back. Once I'm ready, I go the backyard. I roam my gaze around and observe the happy, cheerful faces of the guests who are there to welcome the New Year. My eyes catch Ashar who is in white patterned shirt and nude blazer over it. He's standing at t
Am I married? 66. The Hardest Decision
"It's a girl." The nurse in the labor room enunciates. I'm barely awake, utterly worn out, all of my energy has drained off from the body, but still I hear the nurse before closing my eyes. The new-born begins weeping at the top of her voice. Before her I was screaming due to the strong cramping in my abdomen and below. I hear Katherine's happy laugh after the nurse's announcement. She is with me in the labor room and I'm thankful to her because I was very scared with the entire baby birth process and my level of fear reached to its peak the moment I started feeling labor pain. "Goodness, Sanaya. She looks so delicate." Katherine whispers in my ear. My lips slowly stretch and form a weak smile. I force my heavy eye lids to move up. My eyes didn't fully open, but still I manage to see the baby who is covered in blood. The nurse takes her outside and the labor room falls into complete silence. An hour later, they shift to the private room of the
Am I married? Special Chapter (Ashar's POV)
Two weeks later After going through another round of my parents' scolding, I push open my bedroom's door exasperatingly and step inside. Since Sanaya has left the house, I'm experiencing this almost every day because according to them, it's my fault that she left. Never in my dreams, I could think that she was planning to leave the house, leaving her new-born behind. All that time, all those months when we caged her in this house, she never once tried to escape. But now when she began receiving special treatment, respect and love, she chose to disappear into thin air. I get rid of my slim-fit, charcoal grey suit's jacket, inattentively toss it on my bed. I undo the buttons of my cuff and roll up the sleeves of my off-white, cotton shirt. Sitting on the bed, I replay the conversation in my head when Samara admitted all her wrongdoings. ----- "Samara, you're assuming on your own. I've no plans
Am I married? Ashar's POV (cont...)
"It's because I don't have any answer right now." I say, "You go from here please." "Sanaya is not going to wait for you forever. She has already left and you're still not sure about your own heart?" "I do feel some powerful emotion for her that controls me. But..." I trail off. She sits beside me on the bed, "I know you're angry with me, but you can tell me your concerns, maybe, I can sort them out for you." Her strong perfume hit my nostrils. I glance at her, considering her offer. "What's stopping you?" I lower my gaze, thinking, "The circumstances, the guilt, age-gap and also its new for me." The fact that she is too young for me has always bothered me. I always felt an oldie in Sanaya's presence. That's why I purposely favored Samara in front of her, forcing her to abort the baby. I knew I was hurting her, but I was only doing this to keep myself away from her and forced her to do the same. She is supposed to be wi

It's beginning of the flower season, the cold temperature transiting to summer heat gradually. It's my favourite time of the year, so I thought of getting a new look. My friend, Carol recommended me a new hair salon, said they have skilled and experienced staff. Her good reviews about the place impelled me to witness it by myself. She is right to some extent. The service is good, staff is cooperative and polite and the warm layout of the salon makes the environment calm. The fresh, light cooling of the air conditioner has relaxed my limbs. "Are you sure?" I ask for an assurance. "Of course, see it by yourself." She combs her fingers in my hair for one last time and then steps back. I stand on my feet, slightly push back the rolling chair and looks myself in the mirror. Previously I had

Am I married? 69. Weekend Celebration
I'm utterly dumbfounded. On the other hand, Ashar is looking casual and relaxed with a small smile playing on his lips.He is in sapphire blue, cotton shirt, slightly wrinkled and his black blazer hanging on his arm. His rolled up sleeves are indicating that he is standing here for quite some time. The sapphire blue color is making him look fairer and smarter. His dark hair are falling over his forehead, almost touching his brows. That fringe haircut is giving him a different, boyish look.He ambles to me and stops just a step away. I feel as if I'm hallucinating or maybe it's all just a dream. But he speaks again in the same calm tone, forcing me to accept that I'm seeing him in front of me for real. "It's not good for your health if you're working this late.""How did you-you know I work here?" I stutter a question.
