About us.

More of us.

*ONE YEAR LATER*

Time passes so quickly. And its so weird how you think something happened a day ago,but it actually happened like two or three years ago. And then we just sit and re-think our whole life and say,'wow,it actually has been that long.'

A year later,that is on our third anniversary,Hussain and I decided to do nothing but to sit on the large couch. We barely talked. We were just sitting,looking at the rain from our window. Hussain was unintentionally playing with my hair and for some reason,that felt comforting. His arms around my body felt comforting. His existence felt comforting.

After another couple of hours,we went to sleep. I was in his arms again and we were just...there. Together. I didn't feel like sleeping so I listened to him breathing. And then,after a few minutes Hussain whispered something. I couldn't figure out what he had said so I asked,"what?"
"Lets make a baby."
And then,a smile appeared on my face all of a sudden. I smiled so big and so much my face started hurting. He then put his hand on my stomach and whispered,"I want a part of us to be in this world. Our own person. Like,I don't know. Its just something that I want."
I got up and sat on the bed cross-legged. And then Hussain did the same and then we were facing each other.
"Hussain,I...I've wanted this since a year. But I'm just...scared. I know that this is really stupid but-"
"Hania,listen." And then he put his hands on my face and rubbed his thumb along my cheek and lips.
"Mujhay pata hei kei tum darr rahi hou. Javeria bhabi kay saath jo bhi hua...it was an accident."
I remained silent.
"I'll be with you. I wont let anything happen to you." And then he whispered so softly,"trust me."
I do trust you.
I nodded and then he kissed my forehead. After that,he hugged me so tight,all the worries left behind somewhere I'd never go.

So after talking about it a bit more,we decided to have a baby.

I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of thunder outside and it kind of scared me. The noise of the thunder was so loud,my insides kind of shivered. But Huss looked so peaceful. I didn't want to wake him up. So I slid under the blanket,and my head under his arm.
"Hani?",he asked.
Shit,I've woken him up.
"Its so...loud outside." I replied.
He laughed lightly and brought my face up to his neck and put his arms around me.
"Its okay. I'm right here." And that was one of the most peaceful nights.

When I woke up,Hussain wasn't in the room. But before I could get up to find him,I heard the exhaust fan in the kitchen. Oh,tou aaj khud nashta banaya jaa raha hei. I smiled.
I went to the washroom and freshened up myself. When I came out,he was sitting on the bed,smiling widely.
I raised an eyebrow at him and then he moved towards me. He cupped my face in his hands and kissed me softly. Long and soft. Not too eager to leave,not too fast to forget.
"Come on." He said after a few minutes and took my hand in his and lead me outside to the living room.
There wasn't much that he had done,but whatever it was,it was the best one for me.
There was the table with two cups of tea. Juice. Slices of bread. Pancakes. Jam. Cereal. I laughed and looked at him.
"Sab,aap kay liyay. In celebration of the three most amazing years of my life
with you. And many more to come." He said,smiling. And then handed me a small red rose. He looked so excited.
"Hussain.." I said and a few tears left my eyes.
"Oh,hania.." He came towards me and hugged me and then started cleaning my tears with his thumb.
"Tum larkian bhi kitney ajeeb hoti hou. Kuch bura krein tou roti hou,kuch acha krein tou tab bhi roti hou." He said,trying his best to sound serious,his hands on my arms.
I gave him a suspicious look and said,"Larkian?"
And he laughed and hugged me again.
And I laughed too,kissing his neck and hugging him even tightly.
