A Second Chance.

Chapter 12.

Sila.

I groaned and shut of my alarm before going back to sleep. It is too early to get up to do something. I was about to go back in sleep when I realise today is my first day at my job. I quickly sat up and throw the covers away and run in bathroom. I take a quick shower and changed into a pair of black jeans and red long shirt. I have no time to make my hairs so I put it in simple bun when water stop dripping from my hairs. I put on my hijab and some make up before walking out of my room.

I went downstairs and saw everyone sleeping. I sigh heavily and write a quick note to tell Mom that I am going for my job and put it on her room door. I walk out of house and on the street. I still didn't get any car for myself and I refused to take Bhabhi car as she has problems when she had to go to office. I walk on the side and try to look for a cab. It is 5:15 in the morning and no one is on the road. Hussyan house is 30 minutes away by car and if I walk it will take me 45-50 minutes to reach there. I pick up my pace and started to walk faster.

While walking I watch the sun slowly start rising as my shadow started to appear in front of me. I glance at my watch and my eyes gone wide when I notice I had only 10 minutes left in 6am and I am still 20 minutes away. I speed up again and walk faster than before. I sigh in relief when I saw a little familiar street. Suddenly my heart started to beat faster as I get close to the house. I don't know how to react or what to do. Soon I was standing in front of door, breathing heavily. Right now I just wanted to run away and never come back, but I had to stay and make sure both of them are safe as I promise Mehwish.

Taking a deep breath I finally press the bell once and waited for him to open the door. I heard footsteps coming toward the door and it open by Hussyan. It takes him a few minutes to know why I am here. He step aside and let me without changing his blank look. As soon as I step inside the warmth of his house hit me. This feels like home but not like a complete home.

"Arsalan is upstairs." He mumble walking upstairs as well. I followed him and he stop in front of a white door and motion me to go inside. I take a deep breath and slowly twist the door knob to open it. I quietly step inside and smile slightly looking at the room. His room is still same. He didn't change anything.

His room was still in yellow paint with stars hanging up on the ceiling up to his bed. There are Spiderman and Batman posters were on the walls and the wall behind his bed was covered with photos of his family. I smile when my eyes landed on Arsalan. He was snoring softly on his bed in his T-shirt that I bought him last time and a trouser. I slowly walk toward him and sit beside him before running my hand in his thick black hairs like Hussyan. I love their hair. They are thick but soft.

"Arsalan." I call his name softly with my hand still in his hairs. He groaned softly and rolled on the other side, making me chuckle. I sit close to him and again try to wake him up.

"Arz." This time I call him the name I give him. He slowly open his eyes and blink it before looking at me with a confused look. He eyes gone wide when he realise I am really here. I laugh softly when he stood up on bed and start jumping. He suddenly throws his arms around my neck and hugged me tightly. I also wrapped my arms around him and take in his baby scent. Now I am happy to have him back. I will not let anything take him away from me.

"Are you really here? Are you going to live with us?" He asked excitedly after he pulled away. I look at him, then at Hussyan who still had a blank look on his face. He sighs and walked out of the room. I turned back to Arsalan with a small smile.

"Yes, I am really here with you." I say smiling. He squeals again and starts jumping. I shake my head and stood up. I grabbed his arms and pick him up from his bed and walk to the door that was his bathroom to fresh him up.
