Chapter 64 - The Confession

Omar's POV

I woke up to the sight of her deep asleep and Even then she'd look beautiful.
I pushed aside a few strands of her hair behind her ear and kissed her forehead.

A year had passed and my love for her only grew stronger and stronger. I still remember the circumstances in which we got married, I knew she had started to love me but I also knew she couldn't let go of Zaroon.

Sometimes when I'd come back home from work I'd hear her cry behind the closed door and nothing would ache my heart more than realising I couldn't take away her pain.

But lately the crying had stopped and I could see her smile once again with a free heart.

She started to embrace life and look at things in a whole different perspective.

I had never loved her more!

With every passing day my love grew more for her than it was the previous day but still alot less than the coming day!

She'd make me laugh and wouldn't even realise it, I'd sometimes really wonder if I deserved her.

Even a year after marriage she was not very attached to me, though I knew she loved me but I just couldn't take Zaroon's place in her life!

I get up to go to the washroom when I see Marwah sleeping on my feet, very gentley I pick her up and put her beside Ayaat, I go to the kids room to see where Safa was since Marwah was here in our bedroom and I see Safa just sleeping on her bed.

I pick her also up and put her on our bed then I quickly got dressed for work.

So much had changed! I had shifted back to India from London because Ayaat didn't want to go so far with the kids, I left my job, my family, my friends everybody back in London but as long as I had Ayaat it didn't matter.

Once I changed and was ready to go to office I woke Ayaat up.

"Good Morning Beautiful" I say softly and stroke her hair, she smile and gets up.

"What's the time?" She yawns.
"9:15" I say while wearing my shoes and she turns in a ninja.
"Why didn't you wake me up early?"  She rushes to the washroom.
"Why? Do you have to go somewhere?" I ask her.
"No...I have to make breakfast for you" She screams from inside.
"Relax! I have to go at 10" I say sitting beside Safa.

My heart felt uneasy, how would I ever tell her?
For the last one year I kept the deep secret within me but now?
Now, how can I see her everyday and look into her eyes and not tell the truth.

"Listen!" She say sitting next to me.
"Hmm?"
"Tonight there's a small function at ammi's place for Fiza and Rahil, can you come home early so we can go together?" She asks and I nod.

I couldn't even look into her eyes anymore, the guilt was killing me and my heart was never free of burden.
I'd pray to Allah everyday and ask him to take away my fear and guilt but I knew it wouldn't go away until I told Ayaat what happened.

"Ayaat! You drop Safa and Marwah to school today, I'm in a little hurry. I'll see you tonight" I say and without any second glance I leave the room.

I didn't want to go to work, I didn't want to stay at home I just wanted some peace but I wasn't getting so I just decided to park close by, this was Ayaat's habit everytime something disturbed her or she wasn't happy I noticed she always went to the park so I decided to try it this time.

Just sit there between the huge green tree's and let the breeze touch you, the thought was peacefull.

I quietly walk into the park and sit on a bench in the corner, I could see old people walking and gossiping.
