Zara p.o.v.6 months later...Aslan left early this morning with Eshan and Fahad. I was very happy when I saw Eshan walking inside the hall few weeks back. He had gone under physiotherapy for almost six months. The poor man had suffered a lot for Aslan. In fact, when I saw him, I couldn't believe my eyes and almost sobbed out in happiness. After Aslan left, I slowly moved out of my new bedroom. When I was in my sixth month, Aslan shifted me downstairs, the room next to the kitchen. I caressed my belly and approached the dining table. Mumma was having her morning tea. The moment she saw me approaching she instructed the maid to pull the chair. I sat down and took a toast from the quarter plate.Though I wasn't hungry but I decided to stuff my belly. And the toast with honey dipped tempted my appetite. I noticed that dad was also nowhere to be seen. Both the man of my life were busy I guess. Work. Business. Whenever Aslan was late or had to stay a night away from me, I never asked fo
Aslan's p.o.v"Congratulations. Now you are the proud owner of another casino. How do you feel?" Eshan asked and sat down opposite to me. Fahad also laid his butt on the next chair beside him. " What's new in that!” I said shrugging.Today this happiness has no effect on me. My face had a clouded look and Eshan didn't miss it. I want to stay with her. Every time I was away not in the proximity to touch her, feel her, watch her smiling it felt like a tug inside my heart. And these days the need to be close to her only increased. Whatever feeling inside my heart for her is not plain love, it’s more than that. She is my obsession.“You need to get laid. Haven't been getting it lately? I thought pregnant women want it all the time. Here I thought Zara would have tired you out.” Eshan tsked mocking at me. “You are pissing me off now,” I growled glaring at him. My one hand dropped the pen I was holding so long after signing the contract. He shrugged, “tell me when I don’t do that.” Faha
Aslan's p.o.v.My body trembled with anxiety. " But what doctor..." I saw two ward boys sliding the stretcher with Zara out of the OT room and transferred to the VIP cabin. " I'm sorry.... Your wife ...has...low heartbeat...if she doesn't gain conscious within 24 hours then...we fear survival is... L..." Before the doctor end her sentence, I rushed towards the cabin. My heart dreaded to hear the remaining words. " Sir....sir...Mr.Wali ... Mr. Wali..." "Aslan ... Bhai.......bhai...." Nobody can stop me. On the way I stumbled but my legs kept on moving towards that closed door. My hands clawed the handle of the door and I let myself inside. There she was on the bed with I V attached on her hand. My chest felt like someone dug a knife cutting through deeper and deeper inflicting pain without any sympathy. My lungs gulped a deep breath as I stood rooted on the threshold. The environment inside was utterly calm. The smell of medicine hit my nostrils. The distance from the threshold
Author 1 year later. " Do you think Zeshan and Zaid will be okay?" Aslan asked getting up from the bed and taking Zeshan who was crying for attention. And once he was on his father's lap a happy sound left from him. Aslan was also uttering some incoherent words. His eyes shone with love and adoration for his son. Zara chuckled at both father and son. Aslan was walking around the bed cooing his one son. Zeshan was five minutes elder to Zaid. Aslan was wearing only his trouser which hung low almost showing the tempting v line. His full-toned muscles were on a show for her to fantasize about. Zara diverted her gaze to stop her mind run back to their morning session when the kids were fast asleep. Though it was a quicky round her husband made it worthy. When it comes to stamina Aslan can beat anyone. The energy of a beast!! A caring beast!!! She got tired but Aslan still had the energy to take care of the twins. If he wasn't with her then she couldn't imagine what she would have do
Morning sunlight peeped through the nailed wooden barriered window just to remind me of my existence. That I’m alive. To bear another day of torture. The coldness of the floor penetrating through my skin as I tried to adjust my blurry vision. The silence around the room is the only companion in my miserable state. When I tried to get up, my famished body could hardly move without making me realize how vulnerable and weak I am. The chain around one of my ankles jiggled breaking the calmness as I try to rose up to my feet. Slowly limping on my way, I tried to reach near the door but a sudden tuck on my ankle crushed my frame back on the floor, knocking the breath out of my lungs. I lift my head up and peered back at the door, again. This time I crawled but like before my movement halted due to the chain in my ankle. After several failed attempts my hands lay empty. Defeated and disappointed I inhale deep breaths. Suddenly the door opened and I yanked my head to look at the
Zara.There is a saying that it doesn’t take long for your life to get flipped upside down.One wrong choice.One mistake.And it’s over.If I had known what cost I have to pay for my foolishness, I would have done things differently.But the thing is no one can predict the future.Time passed in snail pace as I tried to stay calm and wait for her to open this door. The same door which is nothing less than the entrance door of my cage.Cage.My doom.Since last one month I’m held confined in this room. Like some captive. I’m treated worse than an animal. She entered inside halting my thoughts closing the door behind her back and I kept my facial expression neutral. My heartbeat began escalating with each step she was taking towards my bed. My chest constricted while gathering all the courage in the world to do what I intended to do. This is do or die for me. I can't breathe under the same roof. Inhale and exhale the same air. With him. I can survive with the physical pain he
Aslan I stared through the opaque glass window at the beautiful night. The lights from the houses appeared as if stars descended down the sky and spread on the floor of the earth. I like to pass my handful time staring out of the window. This gives me a delusion that some stars can even land on the earth. But it's only my delusion. I told you. Such things can never happen in reality. And those lights are just cheap bulbs like my life which could be replaced anytime. There’s a saying that - Behind every successful man there is a woman. In my case it’s no different. Today I'm one of the top ten businessman. The credit behind my success only goes to her. She is the star in my darkness. The star whom I watched every night afar from that bench. My Zara. My star. People in the society gossips that she was born fortunate. The fate of her parents changed when she was born and mine the day, I met her. This sumptuous cabin, giant office, deluxe hotels, extravagant resorts and clubs , l
Whatever amount of milk you feed a snake; it never leaves its habit of biting.---------- Zara--------- "I WILL GO TO HIM. YOU CAN'T STOP ME. " " IN THAT CASE, LET ME SHOW YOU WHOM YOU BELONG TO. " "DON'T TOUCH ME WITH YOUR FILTHY HAND. ""LEAVE ME... YOU ARE A MAN-WHORE... A BASTARD ... I HATE YOU ...LEAVE... WHAT ARE YOU DOING? " "I'M DOING WHICH WILL REMIND YOU WHO IS YOUR HUSBAND."Beep... Beep... beep... My eyes flew wide open as if I had relived the scene just few second back. I started taking large gulp of air through the mask attached on my mouth. "Doctor, she regained conscious... She is conscious... " My ears filled with someone's desperate scream. Then I heard some footsteps approaching near me. I was staring at the ceiling fan which was moving rapidly. My eyes wide open as if I had a worst nightmare. My surroundings slowly come into focus. The white walls, the smell of antiseptic and the familiar smell of lavender mixed with bodily scent… my mother. Where a
