Lost and Found

Chapter 41

Long wait I know but I hope this makes up for it :)

------

Among the list of things which makes us feel protected, needed and loved maybe the most important among those is when the man we love carefully wrap their arms around you and tug you near to his chest, leaving kisses which are like hushed whispers full of sweet nothing on your bare arms and you hear his heart beat. That, yeah that is my favorite. I smiled as I opened my eyes and found him hiding his face in the crook of my neck, his warm breath sending shivers down my spine and I close my eyes completely living in the moment, our bare bodies wrapped around each other reminded me of the night we had and I found myself smiling again. Though the room was still dark but if Wali will look at me he'll found my face burning red so I looked outside the large windows which were showing the dark sky.

"We are missing fajar," I whispered my voice a bit hoarse.

"Yeah," He pulled up supporting himself on his elbow and looked at the sky outside.

"We have to pray," I said looking at his dishevelled hair and ran my hand through them.

"Umhmm," He smiled as looked back at me and leaned forward to peck my lips.

"Why don't you go and take shower," I mumbled and he looked at me with a smirk and I bit my lips, "We have to offer namaz, Wali." I said understanding his unsaid words.

"Right," He said with a nod as he pulled himself up completely.

As Wali made his way towards the attached bathroom I wrapped the sheets around me and got outside of the bed and picked our clothing which was carelessly left on the floor, putting the clothes aside I picked up his shirt and wore it. His scent spreading warmth to my cold body, walking back towards the bed I turned off the AC and opened the large windows letting the fresh salty air fill our room, from standing here I could see the waves crashing on the shore and it was providing me with an odd form of relief. I looked up at the sky and smiled. I was living the moment every girl dreams of no matter how much she denies and as it was ripped away from me before this time all of it seems surreal, a dream and with my heart being content I still have a fear of losing it. I shrugged my thoughts away as I keep focusing on the waves and the beauty of the vastness of the Arabian sea.

"If I could I would love to stop the time right here," I heard him whisper as I turned to find him standing right behind me, his hands resting on my sides now, I looked into his dark brown eyes which were shimmering with bliss, his hair were wet and dressed in his T-shirt and sweat pants he looked content.

"As much I want to be here with you I'll quickly go for the shower and join you for namaz." I smiled placing my hand on his cheeks and kissing the other.

"Nothing can be better than that."

An hour later I was alone in the room changing the bed sheet as Wali went outside to to get us water and something to eat, my stomach start growling with sudden hunger.

"Khadija I guess we should sleep, we still have couple of hours for rest." I turned to Wali as he walked back inside the room with a plate full of sandwich.

"Not a bad idea," I said walking towards him and picked up the sandwich from the plate, "Peanut butter!" I smiled and crawled on the bed soon joined by him, pulling me near him, he covered us with duvet.

Picking up the remote Wali turned on the TV while I peacefully killed my hunger and after gulping in the water I was about to make him turn off the TV when his phone rang. Lying down beside him I listened to him talking to Murtaza and then he ended the call.
