LOST

Chapter 25 : Get out

Third POV

"Noor .... Noorain" Haya said proudly.

The name Noorain brought so much back for Ashar. Suddenly he was thrown back to the memory lane. A thing he was escaping from last 2 years.

It was just a simple name but it was so much for him. It was all a coincidence but it was a reminder of the painful day for him. Quietly he stood up and got of the room.

Haya was confused by his behavior but she shrugged it off not paying much attention to it.

Getting into his study room. He lightened up a cigarette taking in long puffs and got seated on the chair behind a dark oak office table.

He leaned his head back when the flash back started. A simple name that was gonna be his world.

He had a vivid memory of the days when he would walk in his room after office and Maryam would give him a list of names she liked and he would just ignore that list because he already had the name in his mind.

Noorain (means light and radiance)

He continued to chain smoke while Haya was as usual busy with Noor. She occupied herself so much with Noor that it didn't leave any space to think about any person.

Both of them were numbing the pain that they were in. Lost in their own worlds.

It was middle of night when Haya went into kitchen and at the same time Ashar was making a coffee for himself that she guessed by the smell.

Haya took a glass to pour water, whose sound made Ashar turn back.

After drinking water Haya was about to leave when she turned to ask if he needs anything. "Do you need anything?"

Ashar turned towards Haya who was in a white shalwar and kameez that reached her knees with dupatta loosely on her head.

"No ... I am just making coffee ....ahhh" Ashar yelped when he accidentally grabbed the handle from where it was hot.

Haya on immediate response grabbed his hand and and started blowing air on it.

As the sensation of pain died out. He cleared his throat and with drawled his hand back.

Haya looked up at him as his hand slipped away. Embarassed she started looking everywhere

"I'll make you one" she said pushing back her hair, as she saw that all the coffee spilled out if the pan.

He quietly moved back and got seated on stool silently agreeing to her.

Haya was in mid way of making coffee when he looked up at her and asked. "Why did you named her Noorain?"

On his questioned she turned with a proud smile on her face like someone asked her favorite question. "Because it was what I felt when I first saw her. Everything changed. Everything seemed more bright radiant ..... I feel like a had found something precious like a diamond ..... " she ended with a satisfying smile while handing him his cup.

Taking the cup he stood up and left toward his office leaving Haya.

Haya came back to the room and lied down remembering the day when she first saw Noor slowly slipping into the valley of sleep. It was indeed a beautiful day for her.
