The day began with the sun illuminating the sky with its beautiful rays. Another day has just begun as the sun just began to rise.

Right in a house in the middle of City A, there slept two people in their room. Nope, only one of them is asleep, for the other kept on gazing at the sleeping person, keeping them close to the chest.

Zayyan stayed in the bed, looking at Naina who was still fast asleep. 'She must have been tired', he thought, as he kept his gaze on her. It was just a few minutes since the sun rose, and light has begun to seep into the room through the windows.

Anyone who was to see them will think them to be a normal sweet couple. The husband looking lovingly at his wife as she slept, but no. They are far from been correct.

Zayyan stayed in his position, deep in thought, as he kept on thinking of what he has been so busy with recently. Yes, the main reason why he went to the hospital was not to wait for her, but rather for something else. He has not told her that.....

"Zayyan", he was deep in his thoughts that he didn't notice when Naina stirred and woke up from her sleep. She called out to him in a small sleepy voice.

"You are awake. Come let's pray". With that, they both went and performed their ablution, prayed and sat down to do their supplications.

"Yesterday, you wanted to tell me something. What is it?", Zayyan asked. That was when Naina remembered. She wanted to confess her feelings to him. Now she can't. She is feeling all shy. And it was his fault that she didn't get to do so last night.

"Nothing. Since you prevented me from doing so, then you can just keep on waiting till I decide to tell you", she said. He can just wait a bit more.

He chuckled in his deep voice. "Ok if you say so. I will keep on waiting". Here Naina frowned.

She noticed that he wasn't his usual self. First he didn't notice when she woke up in his arms. And now, he simply agreed with her, when in normal terms, he would have argued with her. Worry began to seep into her soul.

"Zayyan, what's wrong?", she asked. Something deep down was telling her that there was something off.

"Nothing, why do you ask", he replied. "You are acting strangely. Is there something I need to know?", she asked, again.

Here, Zayyan smiled. That smile that promised her a secret she wasn't aware of. A secret which could cause a drastic change in her life. However, he wasn't ready to tell her, for he himself is not aware of the whole plot behind the secret.

"There is nothing wifey. Fear not.", he says, keeping everything to himself. If only she knew, then things won't turn out the way they will soon.

"Wifey, I would be traveling today and coming back in two days In-Sha-Allah. It's a business trip, and if it is successful, then all shall become well. Pray for me Naina", Zayyan announces.

Naina, who didn't notice the loop hole in his statement, simply nodded, feeling downcast. Since their marriage, he has never been apart from her for a whole day, and now he is leaving for two good days.
