CHAPTER 26

Muskan Assad P.O.V

4 YEARS LATER

"I miss you"

I put the red roses on her grave while standing up. I helped dad up and then headed towards the car. 2 years ago daddi passed away because of TB. We were too late when we found out she was suffering from TB. After talking with dad that day, nothing happened much. He was still not talking to me and he only kept apologizing that day, nothing more. I lost a lot of things. Daddi, Sufiyan and my relationship with dad. Nothing felt the same. I started overworking, I would go to work at 8 am in the morning and would be back at 8-10 pm.

"Abbu.... I.... I'll drop you home... I have to go to work"

I said while starting the car. He didn't say anything and just hummed. I sighed and started driving, on the way home I stopped by the store and bought dad's medicine before dropping him home. I looked at my wrist and caressed the bracelet which Sufiyan gave me on my birthday.

"It's been 4 years since you left Sufiyan.... Please... please be alright"

I don't know how he is, what he is doing, if he is back or not. I just know... that I still love him with all my heart. I whipped my tears away and headed to the hospital. My work was the same, just a little different... I overworked myself and did a lot more surgeries than I used to do.

As soon as I came to work I headed towards the surgery room since the patient was ready and so was everything else. Just like that I spend 5 hours in 3 different surgeries.

"Lucas... I'm going to eat something"

"Alright... can you get me a cup of coffee?"

"Sure..."

Lucas and I also became very close and guess what? He is a married man now, it was arranged by his parents but everyone has been seeing the changes in him, in a good way. I went up to the terrace as always, this is my favorite place. The weather was good today, it was a warm sunny day, but there was still a cold wind. I took a sip from my milkshake and sighed.

"I miss you Sufiyan...."

"I miss you too jaan"

Wait... that... that voice... No, I must be imagining things, I did that a few months ago.

"Stop imagining things once again Muskan"

I talked to myself before looking down on my hands while whipping my tears away.

"What if... you're not imagining things?"

Hearing the voice closer than before I looked at was met by the eyes I've been craving to look into. I couldn't believe my eyes. I put my hand towards his face and touched it gently.

"Is... Is it really you Sufiyan... a-are you back for good?"

He held onto my hand and nodded his head while looking deeply into my eyes. I smiled while tears kept streaming down my eyes. How much I missed him, I was craving to see him.

"Yes... I'm back... I'm back for you... for us"

He said while whipping my tears away. He is finally back, he is finally here right in front of me. He looks so different. His hair has grown back to its length, long thick and healthy, his sharp jawline is more visible, and he is more muscular. His eyes and smile were the same, just like 4 years ago. Wait, he is wearing...... police uniform.

"Sufiyan... Are you... a police officer?"

He nodded his head and sat beside me still holding my hands. I feel like his hands have gotten bigger. I looked down on his hands and they were bigger, and veiny.
