Yours and Only Yours.

Laleh was sitting on her arm chair in their room, rocking it slowly to and fro. She closed her eyes for a while and a drop of tear slides down her cheek.
Small cry of her newborn son Rayn brought her back from her thoughts.
She stood up and held him closer to her heart.
"Hush, hush baby. Momma's here." She whispered in his ear.
After a while Rayn drifted off to sleep. She put her down in the center of their bed and took a seat besides him. In eight years of their marriage they had never been apart for more than a week. But this time it was almost a month since she saw him.
She knew he was busy in a very important deal about the contract of Zayna oil corporation. They wanted the contact of exporting oil to Asian Countries very badly. Especially at this time when their country was going through some financial issue.
Last night when Zayn called all the way from China , she had made sure not to make her pain visible to him in her voice.
She had never been apart from him especially today. Today was the most important day of their lives. Today was the day when they had taken their vows for a long life ahead.
She still remembered her shaking voice while answering the Imam,
"Qubool h , I accept it." She had said in English.
These simple phrases had changed her destiny. From Laleh Esfandiary she had become the upcoming Queen of Malikbahr. But the most important thing was , she had given her soul, her heart and her body completely to Zyan. Every breath she took since that day belonged to him.
He was her shohar and she his hayyati.
While thinking all this she drifted to a small nap, but just after a few minutes her eyes opened on the sound of Azan.

It's the time of Fajr. She thought.
It was strange now ,that the girl who never worshiped had become so religious. May be this was because Allah had given her every thing she never thought she deserved.
Now she prayed all five times a day. And her life had become the best of bests.
Leaving baby Rayn sleeping, she went to do Vudhu and offered her prayers to Allah.
When she raised her hand to do Dua, a drop of tear fell on her palm.
Zayn, I miss you so much. May Allah keeps his Sympathetic eyes on you. She prayed.
Since their 1st marriage Anniversary, Zayn was the first to wish her. But today he cannot.
It saddened her to the core of her heart.
While she was thinking all this still sitting on her Janamaz, her phone vibrated.
Who might text me early in the morning? She thought.
Her face lifted up when she saw what was the notification on her phone. It wasn't a text from someone, it was a reminded.
She didn't remembered adding a reminder on her phone, may be it was Zayn.

"Happy 8th Anniversary my Princess. I wish I would have been there to celebrate our most cherished years together. But work kept me away.
I am sorry.
I can't do much sitting over here, but I left something for you in your favorite book.
Yes, go to the last Chapter of Arabian Nights and there is my heart waiting for your love.
Meet you soon.
Give love to our gems.
Especially my Rayn.

Love you more than life.
Yours, Zyan. "

Her heart warmed up seeing this message from her life. She read it again and again until she was sure she wasn't dreaming.
Then without thinking about her next actions, she went through her book shelf and took her favorite book out.
Arabian Nights.
It was a gift from Zyan on her first birthday after marriage along with ten others. but this became her favorite.
