LOST

Chapter 22 : Marry Me

Third POV 

Tried, Ashar got out of his car to take a cool breath in this cool winter. 

He decided to take seat in the park near by and think of the possibilities, where she could be.

He couldn't go home with the feeling that she might be out there somewhere.

Walking in he was welcomed by a similar cry. His steps fasten up. As he got closer, he could hear sobs of another person too. 

As he took his final step he came across her, sitting and weeping clutching Noor to her chest.

His guilt peaked. Taking slow step he stood in front of her, who still unaware of his presence. 

Gently he extended his hand towards her. 

"Come ....."

Hearing a familiar sound she glanced up. Seeing him more tears started to feel loosely across her cheeks. It was due to embarrassment or pain she didn't knew.

"Ashar .... I ... didn't ... I ... promise .... I didn't do it ...... " taking a sharp intake of air she looked up at him constantly shaking her head in denial.

"I just adopted her"  she pleaded with trembling lips. On the other hand his guilt was crossing peaks. 

"I ... just ... adopted her ..... " Haya claimed slumping her shoulder down.

Ashar didn't knew how to console her he was out of words himself.

Wiping her tears with back of her hand. She looked up at him "Ashar you had a daughter too tell me ...... would you have given up on her if people said such things ... No na..... so how can you people ask me to give her up..... how can?.... just how can you?" 

Ashar was taken back by her question. Looking directly into her eyes he saw pain of loosing someone with whom he was so familiar with. He had lost too. 

"I know she is not my daughter ..... But I want her .... As my daughter ... I want to do what her mother would have done for her."

She hung her face down and continued sobbing looking at the Noor. Who was asleep after getting tired from all the crying.

The point where she made the decision of giving her up is where she realized that the love she wasn't able to get form her mother. She wanted to give her that because she felt how it feels to be left unloved.

She didn't wanted anyone to end up like her unloved and disowned.

Ashar glanced at Noor and then at Haya. Two innocent lives paying for what they never did. He needed to save both but with the accusation people were throwing at her, helping her would even become another scandal, destroying her reputation further more.

Sitting on his feet He said which he never  imagined in his life that he will be saying it ever again but it was most safest.

"Will you marry me?" He said looking straight at her face. 

She was taken back by his question. Her weeping long forgotten. Blinking few times she looked at him like he has grown two head.

" Wh ... what ???!!!" She shuttered with her eyes widened.

"Will you marry me Haya Salman Khan ? " He questioned again.

Her eyes widened more as he used her full name making her heart beat differently.

Gulping down the lump she questioned with widened eyes " Why ....???".

"I believe you Haya ...." He exclaimed with full believe.
