Sometimes the person we love most walk away when we need them next to us.
Sometimes things happened that we never expected.
Sometimes we expected so much from someone who never really cared about us.

I slowly open my eyes when I feel something brushing against my cheek. I smiled slightly and close my eyes before cuddling close to him. He chuckle and I feel his lips on my forehead.
"Wake up. We have to leave soon." Uzair says as he push the hairs away from my face. I groaned loudly, making him laugh and turn to face away from him.
"Maham." I close my eyes tightly and shake my head. I am so tired and I just want to sleep right now.
Last night, Uzair and I were up late watching movie and cuddling. We went to sleep at 3 in the morning and wake up to pray before sleeping again. It is 10 on the Sunday morning and we have to leave for my home to help Sila, Hussyan Bhai, Ahmed and Samairah to cook and decorate the house for an Eshaal birthday party. It is her second birthday and Hussyan Bhai wants to celebrate it at his house with close friends and family.
"Maham if you don't wake up, then I am going to tickle you." He says in a threaten voice but I just shrugged and smirk. He wouldn't do something like that.
"Last chance. Wake up or..." He trailed off. I frowned when it was complete silence. I was about to turn around, but someone forcefully turned me around and I feel his fingers going up and down to my side that make me giggle uncontrollably.
"I told you." He paused and I saw a mischievous smirk on his face before he starts moving his fingers again.
"I give up." I raised my hand to give up and feel his fingers slowing down before he stop tickling me. I look at him and smile softly at the loving look in his eyes. I raised my eyebrow at him, but he just smiled and lean down to place a kiss on my forehead.
"I love hearing you giggle." He says making me blush. I pushed him on his back and leaned on my elbow and look at him. I leaned closer as I was about to kiss him, but stop an inch away.
"And I love teasing you." I say and put my lips on his cheek slightly before quickly getting up and ran in the bathroom. I laugh when I heard Uzair groaning on the other side and heard him, saying that he will get me back. I poke my head out and stuck my tongue out at him before stepping in the shower.
It was 12 in the noon when we left to help Hussyan Bhai and everyone at home. All the way to home, Uzair looks annoyed and didn't say anything.
When we reach there, I help Samairah to decorate the living room while Hussyan Bhai, Ahmed and Uzair were setting tables for dinners in backyard Sila take all responsibility to cook food and Arsalan is keep Eshaal busy with Asad.
After finishing our tasks, I went in my old room to get ready. I wore a light pink long skirt with white top and floral pattern on it and a belt on my waist. I finish my outfit with matching pink hijab and white sparkly clutch and matching strappy heels.
When I was getting ready I heard the door opening and saw Uzair entering before he turned to look at me. I bite my lips lightly to hear what he thinks about my feet. I squeeze my hands on my sides when I didn't hear anything. I look away and shake my head in disappointment. Maybe I expect too much from him.
I turned and quickly do my light makeup. I look myself in the mirror and feel a small smile on my lips. I turned around and gasped loudly when I saw Uzair right behind me. I didn't know how could he closer so fast.
"What the hell is with you scaring me?" I glared at him after calming down racing heart. I rolled my eyes when I saw him chuckling.
"I didn't mean to scare. I was just lost in your beauty." He says making me blush lightly. He take forward and wrapped his arms around me.
"That was too cheesy Uzair." I smirked when he looks at me surprised and remove his arms.
"So, you think my comments on your beauty are cheesy?" He asked me with a serious look. I frowned and shake my head.
"No-" I started, but he cut me off.
"Leave it." He takes his clothes that I put on the bed and walk in bathroom slamming the door behind him. I sigh and close my eyes. I shouldn't have said that. I have to make it up to him.

The party was going great. Everyone was enjoying their selves. All night, Eshaal was with Arsalan because he didn't want her to be away from him. When it was time to cut the cake, Hussyan Bhai, Sila and Arsalan was beside Eshaal and make her cut it before Eshaal think it would be good to slam her face with cake.
Sila was shaking her head while Hussyan Bhai and Ahmed was laughing. Arsalan cleans her face with some tissues and feed her. Everyone was just looking at them. We can see how much Arsalan loves Eshaal and sometimes we worry for him because when she get old enough to get married how will he react. Sure, it will be very difficult for him to let her go.
"What are you thinking?" I looked up and smiled at Hussyan Bhai as he sit beside me.
"I was just thinking about what Arsalan will do when she get married." I told him honestly and look back at Eshaal who was giggling with Arsalan, Asad and Uzair.
"She is not getting married until she is above 30." I heard him mumbling what he used to mumble when I was a kid. I rolled my eyes at him.
"You can't control her fate." I told him and smirk when he glared at me and give me a 'whatever' look. "Beside your thinking, do you know what Sila think about it?" I frowned when I saw him grinning.
"Yeah. She agrees with me. Just wait Maham. When you and Uzair has a daugter then I will ask you this question." He says and stood up to walk away when Ahmed call him and leave me alone thinking what he just said.
I look at Uzair as I think about having a child. I don't want it right now, but if Allah has written this blessing in our life then we can't deny it. I saw Uzair playing peak a boo with her and smile when Eshaal giggle and Uzair smiling at her softly.

"Uzair, please I said sorry." I sigh and look at him leaning on the headboard of the bed reading a file. I take a deep breath and count when I feel anger rising in me.
"Uzair." I call his name but again, he ignore me. I went close to him and shut the file, making his eyes snapped to me.
"What you want Maham." He rolled his eyes at me.
"Your forgiveness." I look at him and give him an apologetic look. He sighs and I feel his lips curling upward.
"I wasn't angry at you. I was just upset." He smiled and pull me toward him and make me sit beside him with my head on his shoulder and his lips press on my temples.
"Can you promise me something?" I asked him and looked up at him. He looks down at me and nodded.
"Promise me no matter what, you won't ignore me or you won't stop loving me. You know I lost almost everyone who I loved and if I lose you as well then I don't think I would be able to live." I told him and my voice crack in the end. I look away when I feel tears filling in my eyes.
He sits up properly and make me sit as well before turning my face to him. He wipe the tear that just falls from my eyes and shake his head.
"I promise Maham. No matter what happen, I would never stop loving you or leave you. I will always love till my last breath." He smiled at me and leaned forward to kiss me softly.
