MARRIED TO MY BEST FRIEND S2 (BOOK 2)✔️

84~ We are Parents!

Reyhan sat beside Anah while carefully holding the baby in his arms, he looked at Anah. She had her gaze on the newborn. It is her baby, she has given birth to it, a cute little living and breathing baby girl. It's her flesh and blood. These thoughts, the feeling made Anah feel proud, made her feel blessed. She lovingly touched its cheeks, the baby felt like cotton. Tears rolled down her cheeks, happy tears.

'Hey, what are we going to name her?' Reyhan asked looking at Anah.

'Rehaina.' Anah said and then looked at Reyhan. He looked at her surprised.

'She is named after her father,'- Anah smiled, - 'isn't it a beautiful name.' Anah said looking lovingly at Reyhan. He didn't answer, instead, he kept staring at Anah. He felt touched and important when Anah named her baby after him.

'Thanks.' He said after he had found his voice. Leaning forward, he kissed her forehead. Anah smiled closing her eyes.

Anah felt too weak but she requested Reyhan they leave. She didn't want to take any favors from Ejaz. Reyhan agreed, he knew Anah is tried and so he didn't want to argue. He helped Anah stand, she wobbled little and fell on her side against Reyhan. But He held her protectively. Their gaze met and they passed a smile to each other.

Reyhan asked her if she was okay in walking. Anah nodded. Since hers is a normal delivery she wasn't required complete bed rest, but considering she had given birth hours ago she was still exhausted.

Reyhan held her hand tightly and the newborn in the other. Anah kept looking at it concerned but he kept assuring her everything is fine.

As they came out of the room, they found the entire place empty. The decorations have been removed. Reyhan glanced at the grandfather clock in the stairways and noted the time, 3 am, they are so late.

As they walked towards the entrance they stopped on hearing a strong baritone. They turned and found Ejaz at the stairway.

Ejaz is still dressed in his sherwani. From his hoarse voice and red eyes, it is obvious he had been crying. When he came closer, Anah scrunched her nose sniffing the pungent smell of alcohol.

'You won't get any cab now, take my car and the driver.' He said seriously.

'No need.' Anah stepped in but Reyhan held her hand. He looked at her shaking his head. Anah rolled her eyes. Reyhan looked at Ejaz and nodded. Before they left, Ejaz requested if he can hold the baby again. Reyhan looked at Anah who shook her head, she held Reyhan's arm and wanted to leave when Reyhan stopped. Anah rolled her eyes once again as he reminded her that Ejaz had helped them a lot with the child's birth and most importantly he is the father.

Irritated, Anah agreed.

'Thanks for everything, Ejaz.' She said as Reyhan handed the baby to him. Ejaz admired the baby. The baby slowly opened its eyes and blinked at Ejaz. He smiled widely at her and kissed her forehead.

'Rehaina.' Anah said. Ejaz looked at her.

'Beautiful name.' He said and reluctantly handed the baby back to Anah. She forced a smile and walked away with Reyhan. Ejaz watched her go with a sinking feeling in his heart. His phone rang and he looked at it annoyed. It is his parents calling him for the nth time, they will lecture him again saying tonight is his wedding night and instead of being with Pinky, he is wasting his time here. Ejaz cut the call, he didn't want any more argument.

He has decided he will spend the rest of the night in the room where his daughter was born, where his Anah was.
