My Unforgettable Love

Part 35

The following week end nearly 17:00 p.m i was busy bathing Armaan while dad was constanly calling me downstairs and as i finished i went to see why he was calling me.

By my great surprise i saw Sameer sitting and talking with mom&dad. I was amazed. I greet him and i sat on the sofa to talk with him. Then mom said that Sameer was here for dinner. I said to myself: " Dinner?? But nothing is ready yet and what am i going to cook?"

Just then mom said she had ordered indian food from my favourite restaurant which is Sameer's favourite restaurant as well. He was overjoyed. Then we were remembering our childhood and we were being nostalgic.

The time passed so quickly that we didn't realise. The delivery boy came to deliver the food and we went into the dining room where i served the food. We all sat together and ate the yummy food. After that we ate ice-cream as dessert. Armaan was jumping around. He was actually very happy.

That evening Armaan was playing with Zayaan and don't know how he called Zayaan "dad" i was shocked and scold him by saying that Zayaan is not his father and that too in a very angry tone. He got scared & he was crying. I ran to my room in tears.

Sameer came in my room to talk to me and said:

"Zakiyah i know you lost your husband but Armaan lost his father too & he isn't aware of that yet so you should not scold him"

I replied: "i know but i didn't do that intentionally and if he was anyone else it wouldn't matter but it's Zayaan,the love whom....."

Sameer: "oh i got it don't worry i'll convince Armaan"

Me: "thank you but he'll be fine don't bother yourself"

Sameer: "shall i tell you something"

Me: "yeah sure go ahead"

Sameer: "first promise me you won't be angry & secondly you'll think about it"

Me: "okay promise now speak on"

Sameer: "see i know your situation & i understand your feeling,it's just that i want to accept you & Armaan as a part of my family. I want to spend the rest of my life with you infact we know each other very well so you can probably understand what i'm saying. It's not for you but for Armaan who needs a father & i promise i'll try to be the best dad for him but please think about it & i hope your answer will be yes"

Me: (shocked & speechless)

Sameer: "the last time we met at the supermarket your dad did talk to me & he said that he wants to see you happy & smiling again but he needed my help and as he saw that you were really happy to see me he invited me for dinner so that i could talk to you about this in case you will be ready for this relationship,now it's up to you and think about it properly"

Me: "i need time"

Sameer: "take all your time i'll be waiting for you but for now it's too late,i think i should leave now,bye goodnight salaam"

Me: "goodnight & salaam"

I was left alone in the darkness again. Mom&dad came to see me & they insist that i say yes not only for their sake or for Armaan but for myself. They said that i needed someone's company to move on in life. But i didn't know what answer will i give to Sameer. I kept on thinking the whole night....
