If He Only Knew 💕

Chapter 20

I was busy in packing my husband's stuff which I might say he has oh so politely had ask me to do.. Well that came as a little shock for me but I overcome soon, as Asad is giving me such shocks from quite few days now.. I smiled happily at the memory when he stuttered while asking me to do his packing, like he was scared I would tell him off.. I can't do that, he is my husband and it's my responsibility to take care of his needs..

I don't know why my mood was slight low on the fact that Asad is going for some days and he won't be here to torture me anymore.. Like I should be happy on the fact that I would be having some time to breathe in my old house with my family.. But there was a unsettling feeling inside my heart on getting separate from my Husband and he won't be there on my convocation doesn't help it either..

I Sat down on my bed deep in my thoughts completely oblivious to the presence of my husband in our room.. "Zoya will you stop day dreaming.." and I almost jumped on his voice.. Ya Allah, when the hell did he came in? His face hold that irritated expression and I got scared, oh no!! is he in his those sort of moods today? what is he gonna do, shout at me? threw me out of this room? "Okay will you just stop widening your already big eyes, I am not a ghost or something and I am certainly not going to kill you.."

And my lips twitched into a smile at his pout, is he complaining right now or am I just imagining things on my own. "Are you Okay?" I asked slowly when I saw him frown, "Why are you so afraid of me?" And I didn't know what to answer for that. Like he really wants to know why am I so scared of his presence, isn't he the one who has terrified me the moment I stepped in his room for the first time..

"I have almost finished packing, do you need me to do anything else?" I asked ignoring his previous question and his frown deepened. Ya Allah please help me out from this awkward situation. "If there is nothing then I will just go and check on Mom.." I immediately walk out for my escape but couldn't make it to the door. Since my husband decided to give me another shock of the day and pulled me to his chest..

The air knocked out of my lungs and I struggled to breathe.. We were nose to nose kind of close and I couldn't even raise my eyes up to look at him, but can feel his heated stare on my face.. "Do I scare you?" He breathed on my face and the blush rose up to my cheeks.. Please let me go, I just want to scream at his face but my voice was just lost somewhere.. "Look at me." he tilted my chin up and my eyes met his, there was some unsaid emotion on his face that I have never seen before.. My heart flutters a bit..

"I don't know how much time will I be gone, will you be okay here?" And he almost whispered that question in my ear, it was such a low whisper that it occurred as an imagination to me but thankfully it was not. "Will you not be there for my convocation?" I can't believe that little complain left my mouth but the amusement on his face tell me it does.. Was I even allowed to complain to him about little things like every normal wife does? Will he be mad at me like usual?

"I will try my best to be there.." And those words were enough to lit my face with a smile, he didn't scolded me, he didn't get annoyed.. He just simply said that he will try and what more can I ask from him. This is a good start, we are getting there slowly slowly and I am sure one day our relationship will not be like this anymore.. Insha'Allah one day we will actually behave like every normal couple out there .. All thanks to Almighty though..

"Najma you sure, you are not forgetting anything? you have packed every necessary thing right?" I asked again from Najma and she just hugged me.. "Okay Bhabhi stop panicking, you yourself have checked my luggage twice.." And I just rolled my eyes, I am not panicking, it's just We don't know how long they will be gone and that is a complete new country so they must not forget all the necessities..

"Seriously Bhabhi, don't worry we will be fine there, but will miss you a lot.." And I smiled warmly at Ayaan, I will miss them too.. We were currently at the airport seeing them off.. My whole family was here.. Mom even asked them not to come but they did anyway.. Now we all were here, bidding goodbye to Nawabs.. "I will miss you all too, please don't forget to call me daily and keep me updated about everything and Ayaan I believe you will take good care of three of you.." And he nodded his head..

I moved towards Mom and she just took me in a hug, "I am so going to miss you dear, Please take care of yourself and others .." She said smiling that I returned gratefully.. Allah please help this women in recovering, I can't see her in pain, she is too nice to be gone.. "I will take care here don't worry but Mom please promise me you will take good care of yourself without any worry and take your medicines on time.." And she nodded her head at that..

Everyone was busy in talking and my eyes were searching my husband, who was nowhere in sight.. I just saw him there talking with Abbu, but don't know where he went now.. "What are you looking for?" And again I jumped on his voice, okay he has to stop creeping me out like this. Can't he just announce his presence normally without scaring the crap out of me.. "Please don't worn out yourself much, everything will be fine.. There also and here also.." I assured him with a smile and he just looked at me intently searching for Allah knows what..

"Take care of yourself Zoya, I will be back soon.." And my lips turned into full blown smile at that which he returned and maybe that smile gave me the reason to do what I did next.. I placed my head on his chest if he was shocked at my sudden action he didn't let it show and after few seconds his arms came around me and we stood there for sometime breathing each other scents.. "It's time for us to leave.." He murmured in my hair and reluctantly I have to let him go..

The moment I separated from him my eyes met with everyone from our family looking at both of us in Aww and I blushed hard.. While our siblings had that teasing glint on their face, our parents had a thankful smile.. I know they must be happy and relieve to see how their decision turned out for both of us and I couldn't help but smile in return...
