If He Only Knew 💕

Chapter 15

My eyes fluttered open on the sound of my alarm.. It's time for Fajar.. I lazily sat up from the couch, taking a minute to come out from my sleepy self.. My eyes moved towards the bed and Asad was there sleeping comfortably.. I have no idea, when did he returned last night.. I waited for him till dinner but he didn't turn up and I dozed off while crying myself to sleep.. I had a terrible headache due to all the tears I have shed last night for the man who was soundly asleep..

I prayed for quite a long, asking Allah to help me deal with this new phase of life.. My marriage wasn't the normal one.. I have a lot to struggle and fight for my own rights.. Thank goodness we are finally returning today.. I am missing my family so much, maybe Begum Sahiba will allow me to visit my parents even for just few hours.. I really miss them all.. There was quite a lot time for breakfast but I couldn't sleep anymore, I have already slept quite a lot last night and now sleep was far away from my eyes..

I grabbed my sweater and slowly peeped out of the house to take a small walk nearby.. Sun was almost rising, and the orange hue settled all over the sky making the view very much beautiful.. I quickly clicked several snaps of those.. To capture these moments for life.. I didn't how much far I walked away from the house, I knew Asad would be up by now.. I immediately turned around and started moving back to cottage. When I entered the house, I found two three more people along with Rehana and my husband with a distraught look on their faces, Asad looked more tensed.. I wonder what happened here..

"What's going on?" Every eye immediately turned to me and I could see the people sighing in relief, I saw a same look on my husband's face, that was soon replaced by Anger, and he came towards me in a lightening speed.. "Where the hell were you, do you have any idea how much worried I was?" And I don't know whether to be scared of his outburst or to smile at the fact that he was worried for me. "I just went out for a walk.." I muttered lowly and his nostrils flared in anger making me flinch..

"Are you freaking crazy women, this is not Shimla, it's a strange place, you don't even know anyone here and we live in a middle of a forest.. You sprinted out for a walk that too alone, were you out of your mind Zoya.." He barked and the people present there gasped along with me.. I Shivered in fear, he look so scary when he is angry.. "Asad please calm down, I am sorry... I was up early and there was nothing to do, so I just went out without thinking much.. I know it's my fault, I am so sorry.." I was almost on the verge of tears.

His posture softened a bit when he eyed me crying and he took long breaths to calm himself down.. "Pack your bags, we are leaving after breakfast.." with that he sprinted out from there. The other three people also left and Rehana came towards me, I gave her a small guilty smile.. "I am sorry for all this commotion.." She smiled back..

"Don't worry about us, but yes your husband went crazy when he didn't find you in the room.. I haven't seen him so scared before.. He looked so afraid on a mere thought of loosing you.. you are very lucky child, he loves you this much.." And a new sensation kicked in my stomach.. He wasn't in love with me.. That was for sure.. But did he really went so crazy looking all around for me.. A raise of hope again took place in my heart.. "I will go and check my bags, you set the breakfast till then.." I came inside my room but Asad wasn't anywhere in sight...

I could see his all stuff set up on bed packed.. I did my packing yesterday only, after making sure Asad was not inside the bathroom, I quickly went in to take a shower and change my clothes.. Once I was all ready, I came out for breakfast.. Asad was already there, I avoided any eye contact with him and quietly joined him on the table.. Once we were done, he went inside the room and bring our backs and without speaking a word went outside to place them in the car, we were leaving by road I guess, cause due to the bad weather today there were no flights from Manali..

A long  journey that too alone with Asad, I am not sure how I am gonna handle it.. "It was so nice to meet you Rehana, you really did took care of us and especially me in this strange place, so thank you so much and forgive me if I have done anything to upset you.." I said smiling and the lady teared up..

"Begum Sahiba is so lucky to have you dear, and please don't ask forgiveness from me, I am just a servant and I have done my job for which I am being paid.. But you did treated me like a family member and I will be forever grateful to that.. So do come visit again soon.." She hugged me one last time, "Inshallah.. Khuda Hafiz.." And with the final good bye, I hurriedly came outside, can't piss off my already pissed husband..

There was an awkward silent between us during the whole ride, neither did he spoke to me, or he glanced my way.. But thankfully he switched on the music player and the melodious songs gave me company entire ride until I felt asleep...

A phone ring made me open my eyes lazily, I look around only to find us entering inside Shimla.. Ya Allah, how many hours did I slept? Asad didn't picked the call first time, but the phone kept ringing.. "Maybe it's something urgent, should I pick it up.." Before he could reply, now it was my phone blaring off with Ayaan's number on screen.. A weird fear set in pit of my stomach... "It's Ayaan.." Asad immediately checked his phone and the expression on his face says Ayaan was the one calling him too.. "Put the phone on speaker.." And I immediately picked it up turning it on speaker without wasting any more time...

"Hello Ayaan?" He said and I could hear muffled cries in the background. Asad's hand stiffened on the staring and my heart sank, what the hell is going on there, "Bro Jani, Ammi... Hospital..." the only words that left his mouth and Asad speed up the car.. Ya Allah, what's wrong with Begum Sahiba, please please let everything be okay.. Please Allah Taala...
