Forty Five

Zayn stopped the car near the cemetery. He imagined a goth area with creepy looking plants and nothing to the eyes except tombstones, but the place was beautiful. There were trees giving shades to the tombstones and the people visiting them, and it wasn't creepy at all. There were a few people at one tomb and some people near the small cottage where the security guard stayed.

They might need his help to find Aliya and Frank.

It was quite difficult for them to find the tombstones. It was built in 1993 after all.

They were buried at the edge, near a fig tree that protected the tombs from the sun.

"Do you want to be alone?"

Zayn asked once Liam and him reached the tombstones. This was Liam's private moment. He shouldn't interfere.

"Would you mind?"

Zayn chuckled at the question. He was suggesting the idea for Liam to have the moment alone and he was asking Zayn if he would mind!

"No babe, I'll wait by the car, yeah? Take your time."

Zayn patted Liam's head before walking back to his car. Hopefully Liam is finally getting his closure.

"Hey Mum.. Hi Dad.. It's me, Liam."

Liam's voice was already cracking and he thought he couldn't cry anymore.

"I don't know what you prefer for me to call you, but I already have two people who I call Ammi and Baba.. And.. They're my parents. Is that okay? Having parents who are not you? You don't hate me for it, right? I always wondered if you hated me so much that you gave me away.. Turns out you didn't even have enough time to love me, huh! Are you angry at God? Shouldn't I be angry at God? But I'm just, thankful, you know.. I got my Ammi and Baba, two amazing sisters, really great friends and.. And I'm married. To a guy. That's okay right?

Damn I wish you could answer me! I swear he's a good guy. Really good. He found you for me. I didn't even know he was trying to find you. What does that make me? Is it bad that I never tried to find you but my husband did? I'm sorry.. I was scared you wouldn't want me to find you. I wish I could see you. Margery didn't have any of your pictures with her. She said I look just like you Mum.. So maybe people lied when they said I look like my Baba. I could never see it to be honest. Because I knew I wasn't..

I'll tell you about my life, okay? Since you missed all of it. I was 12 when I found out I was actually adopted. So until then I was such a trouble maker. Along with my best friend. Then I found out the truth and I decided to be the perfect son I can be. I missed out on most of the fun, but I topped school and then college and joined Baba's company and then.. I got married to that best friend I just told you about.

It was funny how it happened but.. I couldn't ask for anyone else. He barely shows it. Takes me to put on my sad face for him to actually show it, but he cares. A lot. If it wasn't for Zayn, I wouldn't have been here, talking to you. I'm not talking about finding you. I just.. I have had tough times in school and college and I.. I was coward enough to constantly think about giving up.

He was always around. Finding reasons to fight with me, always causing trouble.. Leaving cupcakes at my dorm room door whenever I was having a bad day, with a sticky note saying it's for Niall but I could clearly understand his writing. Niall never shares food, but somehow he would share with me and he doesn't like blueberry cheese. That's my favourite. He would always say "it's like they're giving it for you, not me!" and I would laugh because yeah, of course it was for me..
