Neelum
Her heart skipped a few beats, she didn't know how to respond , she checked her reflection in the mirror , she was dressed in a white t shirt and simple loose bottoms .
There was a knock on the door , and her mother entered ,
"Neelum , Ibrahim aaya hua hai , neeche drawing room mein hai" she told her ,
Seeing as her daughter looked stunned , her mother brushed a stary strand away from her ear ,
"Jao aur baat karo beta , kya pata woh tumhe lene aaya ho?" Her mother said ,
Neelum nodded and went downstairs , Ibrahim was sitting alone , it was probably because her father had gone to bed early, and the only reason her mother was awake because she liked to read late into the night .
He looked up when she entered,
Standing up he said ,
"Assalamulalikum" , and Neelum resppnded with a salam as well.
"Ibrahim beta kuch lo gay aap ?" Her mother asked ,
And he shook his head,
"Nahi aunty thankyou" he said politely,
"I'm sorry for coming at this hour ," he said earnestly,
"I have a flight at 4 , and I just wanted to see Neelum before I went" Neelum was surprised at this ,
"Acha beta betho , mein tumhare liye coffee banati hun," her mother said leaving , giving both of them privacy.
"Aap kaha jaa rahay hain?" Neelum asked ,
He gestured for her to sit down , she sat down on the sigle seater and on the opposite sofa he took a seat himself aswell.
"Mein London jaa raha hun" he told her , and she felt her heart sink.
"Wapasi kab hai?" She asked softly,
"A week maybe two , depends" he trailed off.
Neelum looked at her hands there was so much that they had said to each other .
Bitter hurtful words .
"Neelum," Ibrahim started , and she looked up at him,
"Meine decide kiya tha k tumhe wapas lene nahi aaoun ga , tum apni marzi se gayi thi aur apni marzi se hee wapas aao" he said rubbing his palms together ,
Neelum felt her defences rise and she started to say something , but he spokee before she could .
"Par phir yeh london ka plan bana , and I realised that I could not go without even meeting you , especially when things weren't good between us" he told her , sincerity dripping from his words ,
And Neelum felt her heart flutter .
"I know there are a lot of things that we need to work on" he continued , his amber eyes soft,
"And I can't promise that everything will be picture perfect, or that you will always see my best side or that we wont argue and fight, I wont promise you perfection Neelum" he said to her
"there might be times where we can't agree and there will be times when we'll fight, and you might leave again" he said rolling his eyes slightly,
Her lips pulled into a small smile,
"But there will never be a time that I won't comeback for you , I promise you that." He told her , and Neelum felt her eyes burn with tears.
"I can promise you that my ego will never be bigger than your place in my heart , and it will never come in between us ."
"I will love you even when things are ugly and messy between us." he said to her , his hand taking hers in his .
She didn't know what to say , so she did what made most sense to her she pressed her lips to his in the most searing kiss possible.
He kissed her back, cupping her cheek stroking away the tears from her eyes.
"Ibrahim" she said as the broke apart, and he sat back,
"I- I don't know what to say" she said wiping away her tears ,
"You don't have to say anything to me Neelum," he told her softly
"Mein London tumhe millay beghair nahi jaa sakta tha, not when things are complicated" he said his hand taking hers one more time .
"I wouldn't be able to leave without letting you know that I'm willing to work out a solution , and that I'm still here" he told her ,
He pressed a kiss to her head.
She was about to say something but a knock on the door interrupted them.
Ibrahim sat back on his original seat,
Her mother came in , holding a tray with two cups ,
"Beta coffee?" She offered ,
And Ibrahim shook his head , standing up
"Nahi aunty , phir kabhi ." He said
"Mein nikalta houn airport k liye deir hojaye gi" he said to her ,
Her mother nodded with a smile .
"Neelum go see him off bacha" she said to her , and Neelum got up following him out.
Both of the stood facing each other at the threshold.
"I'm not sure if I want to return just yet" she told him honestly.
He nodded , having expected this .
"I know" he said ,
"But I would like to sit and talk once you get back" she said to him , he reached for her and she let him,
Pressing his lips softly to hers ,
Once .
Twice .
And then he pressed one more kiss to her forehead.
She hugged him taking in his scent.
She pressed her body against his tightly.
And he hugged her back.
Finally letting go he smiled and turned around .
"Ibrahim" she called out ,
And he turned to her
"Thankyou" she whispered ,
And he smiled .
Turning back and heading to his car.
She stayed there leaning against the door till his car headed out of the driveway.
"Neelum?" Her mother called , and she turned around ,
"Coffee?" She asked , and Neelum smiled ,the first relaxed smile in a week.
She took the coffee as they both sat down ,
"I knew I made the right decision " her mother said a smile on her lips , and Neelum blushed ,shrugging and taking a sip of her coffee.
