Arranged To be Malik

Chapter 47

" Fighting my way back to where you are,
The only place I ever felt at home,
Stumbling backwards through the dark,
I know how it feels to be alone,
And where we go, is where I wanna be,
And in the silence I hear you say to me, I will be by your side, when all hope has died" Lifehouse- By your side..

Zayn's POV:

I stir a little in my sleep, feeling pain on my right arm that I have been sleeping on it from yesterday till this morning. Opening my eyes a little and closing them again after the bright sun blinds them by its yellow rays.

After a minute or so, I open them again, only slowly this time. My eyes meet a small, yet beautiful, figure lying beside me. It's none other than my beautiful wife. She is sleeping on her left side, so that we are facing each other, her face is pressed against my chest and her small hands as grasping my shirt, like she is afraid of something, afraid of me leaving her again.

I couldn't bring the heart to leave her alone in her broken state yesterday. After her break down, I want to be with her all the day, even if she still wants to stay away from me, or wants to divorce me. I won't agree to stay away from her again. Enough is enough. And we have been staying away from each other since the last month, and it's a long period to make me go insane without her. She has to forgive me, I love her and she has to.

I let my fingers swim in her soft hair, feeling she is sleeping like she has never slept before. I know she needs it, and to be honest, I want her to sleep, she is tired from the last night, her tears tired her much. It broke my heart yesterday seeing her like that, so broken, sad and weak. I don't like seeing my Rawan like that. She is stronger than that, that's for sure.

" I will never leave you" I whisper so lowly, you almost can't hear my voice. I don't want her to wake up for two reasons, the first one is I want her to get much sleep, and the second reason is I want to hold her as much as I can, and not to make her freak out because of sleeping next to her.

I decided to start my day, I push myself slowly from her warmness, then go to her bathroom. Staring back at my face in the mirror, finding another version of me. I don't look myself, the man that I am seeing right now is tired, sad and depressed. I swear I have never felt this tired before now, it's like every cell in my body is on fire because of the soreness.

Splashing some water on my face, and promising myself to be a better person for Rawan. I will make it up with her, she deserves to be happy and I will be the man to make her like that, I won't let Alex or any other guy take her away from me and make her happy. She is mine and I love her too much to let her slip in between my hands.

Let's wait and see that Rawan will be Rawan Malik one more time..
