Epilogue
3 years later
'Jaan'
Liam turns to Zayn, a smile spreading over his lips as Zayn offers his hand, question on his face.
He gently lays his hand over Zayn's, laughing softly when Zayn grabs it and squeezes his fingers.
The Emir leads him to the centre of the room, and calls for the lights to be turned off, in that luscious accent.
Lights dimming, Zayn places his hand on the small of Liam's back, his eyes gleaming in the mellow light.
A soft melody starts playing from the corner of the room and Liam's voice cracks as he speaks,
'I have something to tell you'
The Emir kisses his forehead, letting his lips linger for a few moments before pulling away,
'Tell me later, jaan'
Meri becheyniyo ko chen mil jaaye [my worries are removed]
Liam places his hand on the Emir's shoulder, and his fingers dig into the soft skin like a lifeline.
Tera chehra jab nazar aaye [when I see your face]
Zayn's smile makes Liam's insides flutter.
They move around the room slowly, gracefully, and the look of adoration in Zayn's eyes keeps Liam's cheeks flushed.
Zikr tumhaara jab jab hota hai [when you are mentioned]
Zayn's fingers press into the delicate flesh along Liam's waist and Liam lays his head against the Emir's shoulder.
Aankhon se bheega bheega pyaar beh jaata hai [liquid love pours out of my eyes]
Eyes filling up, Zayn kisses Liam's soft hair and sways them along, Liam trapped safely in his arms.
Mere tanhayion ko noor mil jaaye [My feelings are soothed]
Liam can feel Zayn's steady heartbeat against the side of his face, and he wants to stay like this forever.
Tera chehra jab nazar aaye [when I see your face].
Zayn pulls away at the next line, and sings the line directly into Liam's ear,
'Main raat din yeh dooah karu—tere liye main jiyu maru'
[I pray day and night that I live and die for you]
A tear rolls down Liam's cheek and his ears burn as Zayn kisses it away, his own eyes watery and golden under the peaceful light.
'Main tumse pyaar karta hu [I love you]' Zayn whispers, letting go of him to cup his cheeks and look into his eyes, 'Itna ki. . . Yeh saara jahaan tumse jalta hai [so much that this whole place is jealous of you]'
'Zayn' Liam whispers brokenly, tracing his thumb over his soft cheek. Zayn stops his hand to pull it to his lips, and kiss the back of it, his eyes still on Liam.
'You're my everything. I am so lucky to have gotten you—kismatwaala hu mai [I'm a lucky man]—in fact, that's an understatement'
'You make me whole' Zayn concludes, voice cracking delicately.
Not knowing what to say, Liam just kisses him.
They kiss for a few soft moments, accompanied by the soft music.
'Main tumhaare liye jaan de sakta hu, aur le bhi sakta hu [I can give my life for you, and take lives for you]' Zayn whispers and Liam chuckles tearfully.
'Uski koi zaroorat nahi hai [there is no need for that]' Liam giggles and Zayn smiles fondly at him, grip around his waist tightening.
'Vaise bhi, I need to tell you something' Liam mutters, eyes crinkling.
Zayn nods for him to go on, and his heart flutters in his chest.
He bites his lip, and leans in close to his love, and deciding that there's no other person he'd share this with, he whispers.
(For the second time)
'I'm pregnant'

this is the end, lovelies.
thank you so much for keeping at this book for the past few months, and i am forever grateful to every single one of you who even gave this a chance. it means a lot to me.of course, the end of this book does not mean the end of zayn&liam or my writing. i'm not sure whether i will be putting up a sequel to this yet, but there is a chance i might soo look out for an update on this book about a sequel for the next few days.
here are the last few of the dedications: I'm sorry if I've missed any of you out, but always know that I love you soo soo much.
