Make It Last

29

---Hussain's POV---

I woke up due to the cold breeze. I looked around a bit lost and then remembered that we fell asleep outside. 

Look how peaceful she looks! 

I got my phone to check the time so I can wake her up for her medicine. Still a few minutes left. 

I just went on my phone & she got up and left.

Well, that's nice, I thought to myself sarcastically. 

I took my laptop and phone and went inside.

"Hey, kya hua?" I asked.

"No. Don't come near me," she said.

Okay, now I'm confused.

"You...hotel..woh aap tha nah? You were there when it happen. Just leave me alone," she said.

Well she got some memory back.

"Yes, I was there but I didn't do anything," I said.

"I know you didn't. I remember you running away," she said.

"What?!" I asked shocked.

"I had a pulse, my eyes were a bit open & you ran away," she said.

"Babe," I said.

"NO! Stay away from me. You wanted to kill me," she said.

"No. I never wanted to kill you. I just got scared," I said. "I'll admit that I messed up, but you have to trust me."

"No! Leave me alone or I'll start screaming," she warned.

"You have to trust me," I said.

"I can't," she said.

"Then I'll gain it back," I said.

"I'm scared of you. I don't want to stay here," she said. 

"I'm not going to hurt you. I promise,"I said.

"You swear?" She asked.

"I swear," I said.

"Okay," she said still a bit unsure.

"Now you have to take your medicine so you have to eat something first," I said.

"Okay," she said as my phone went off.

"You answer that. I will go," she said.

"Okay, be careful," I said as she left. 

"Hello," I said.

"Hello, I am calling from child services as your son is now 3 and we can give him to you," he said.

"Sorry, you have the wrong number,"I said. "I've not had a child."

"This is Hussain Asif?" He asked.

"Yes, but I don't have a child," I said.

"We know this may come as a bit of a shock. Your girlfriend gave him to us and told us to give him to you when he is 3," he said.

"What girlfriend?" I asked.

"Salina," he replied.

"Okay," I said and hung up.

I changed into something better and went downstairs.

"You are going somewhere?" Aarti asked.

"Ya,  I have to visit someone," I said and her eyes widened at that.

"It's because I told you," she said.

"What? No, I'm not going to hurt you. Nobody is," I said. "I promise."

With that I left. I got to the prison that Salina was in and asked to meet her.

"What child?"I asked her. 

Didn't feel the need to say hi or ask how she was.

"Oh, they called you!" She said.

"I will not hesitate to kill you," I said. "You are so lucky my wife wasn't there."

"Isn't she dead?" She asked.

"No, she's alive and breathing. Thank God," I said.

"What the f*ck do you mean? What about us?  We have a child together. Remember when I went for my trip, it was a lie. I only left because I was pregnant and I didn't want you to leave me. I dropped him off at child services & told them to call you when he was 3," she said.

"I refuse to believe that is my child," I said and left.
