Embracing Love [✓]

ᶠᵒʳᵗʸ ᶠⁱᵛᵉ ✓

When did things get so strange?
Why is my heart beating so hard?
Into my heart that I secretly hid
You have come in.

One day, I met you
And now I've fallen for you like this
I want you to fall asleep in my arms
I wanna open my eyes in your arms
So I won't be jealous of anyone else in the world

It is your love that makes me breath
The moment our eyes met
I have been slowly falling for you
I can't express you
With boring words
What you mean to me
I'm not good at saying affectionate things
But you always know my heart
When you dress so perfectly
I get nervous for no reason

Coming a little early from work, Ayana entered the apartment only to find it vacant.
"Did he go somewhere?"
She asked herself. Bringing out her phone she was about to call him when the bell rang.

Thinking that it was Imraan she instantly opened the door.
"Where did you go- Ayyan?"

"Won't you tell me to come inside?"
With a small smile, Ayyan asked.

For work, he was sent to the countryside where there were no network signals. After almost 1.5 months he came back home. His pregnant wife was so overly emotional that she couldn't stop her happy tears after seeing him. Last night was a mini emotional reunion for the couple. It was in the morning only he heard about his sister and brother-in-law. Unable to resist himself, he instantly came over to meet his twin.

"When did you come?"
Hugging her brother, Ayana asked.

"Last night."
The siblings catch up to each other before Ayyan looked around the apartment.

Spotting him looking around, Ayana said,
"The place is cute right?"

Before Ayyan could reply, she added.
"Imraan chose this place. He was so nervous about me not liking it."
She chuckled as she remembered Imraan's nervous face from that day.

"It's pretty small."
Ayyan replied.
"I mean your room in our house is bigger than this whole apartment."

"Yeah, but I like this place."
Ayana said with a smile.

"Well, as long as you are happy."
Ayyan looked at his sister's face before debating whether to say it or not.

Seeing him hesitating to say something, Ayana asked,
"What is it?"

Ayyan sighed before finally saying the thing that was troubling him.
"It's bothering me."

Confused at his words, Ayana looked at him.

"I heard everything."
Indicating Imraan's birth secret followed by him resigning, Ayyan said.
"Why didn't you say anything to any of us?"

"Because there wasn't anything to say."
Ayana replied, not liking her brother's interference.

"What -"

"Look, Ayyan, this is my personal matter and I am completely capable of dealing with it."
Snapping at him, she said.

"Personal matter?"
This time Ayyan angrily spoke.
"They lied to us. He lied to us. To you."

"He didn't lie to me. Not for once."
Taking her husband's side, Ayana yelled back.
"He was nothing but completely honest with me from the very first. Rather it is me, who wasn't... isn't completely honest with him."
