Petrichor to his Heart

After 27 months

"do you think he doesn't know about us?" Farhad scratched his chin and asked the woman sitting beside him trying to get accustomed to the curls done beautifully on her back.

"No, I just thought he would not like a relationship between you and I... so you believe he knows about us and doesn't say anything purposely!" Fiza turned her complete attention towards him, finally satisfied with the way her hair looked at the event.

"Sorry, I am just not comfortable with these, don't know why the team wanted everyone to present themselves in a certain way." muttering something inaudible Fiza shifted again in her seat.

"Fiza...you look good and if your team thought it was going to do something for them then it might be...and actually I love the hairs." Farhad smiled and his fingers tapped hers playfully. "about the earlier question, I believe he knows and respects my decision."

"I am happy you could make it here tonight, it is the most important day of my life so far..." she whispered leaning towards his shoulders. "also, For the first time, your Suit-Boot makes some sense to our world, Farhad Miyan." Fiza joked in the end, she might have changed a lot but it was still so hard to accept being weak at times or show her emotions.

"there would be more Fiza Bibi...Insha'Allah... and Thank God there was not a dress code for people accompanying the designers otherwise it had been a really BIG day for me..."Farhad winked at her to emphasize the sarcasm.

"Woah Woah... It's a shame Farhad, the boyfriend of a designer and afraid about dress codes... you seriously need a wardrobe change." Fiza was always so clear about his wardrobe choices and at times she expressed her disappointment; she understood his job but she seriously needed him to understand that people didn't go to water parks in black suits.

"You are still glued to the Water park incident," the hidden laugh was not so hidden when he nudged her lovingly. " how many times I need to apologize for that Fiza, and I seriously didn't know you wanted us to enjoy as well." He teased her again knowing very well this could lead to a dangerous path, one that could drop him in front of a wild and seething tigress.

"For your information, People visit the water park to enjoy unless they have two kids who would enjoy and they would rather talk about their future keeping an eye on those two kids." Fiza's reply was expected and Farhad seriously needed something to change the topic.

"Okay what can I do so you forgive me for that..." he whispered aware of the lit-up ramp that was the hint that the show was about to begin.

"Not so soon, Mr., I might think about forgiving you for that at some point in our life but for now I still sulk sometimes how you had crashed my plans of having a water ride with you..."Fiza declared and shifted close to him the moment the ramp turned dark before the arrival of the firsts of the models.

"look up, I think it's the time for your models, the Led over there is flashing your brand name." Farhad smiled at her and together they looked up when the first model made her way to the ramp.

"I hope you are somewhere close Abba." with a silent prayer she searched for his fingers and felt home when he unknowingly captured hers in a warm hold.

"i feel goosebumps ... so proud of you my love." he expressed himself without hiding the fact that he was enthralled to see her work.

"Thank you for being there..." she was not wrong, his always smiling face bought her the assurance of life even when the situation said otherwise in the last few months and some of the toughest days she had endured lately. "No concession about the water park though."
