Yamna gave them their surprise in the form of two tickets to their honeymoon. Tonight will be their flight.
As they arrived at the airport to the beach. She watched the shadows of lights in the dark sea, Eman once again struggled to cover her hair within her shawl. There was no one around to notice her struggle against the wind.
"Can I help?" She turned anxiously but when she saw Khizer, she became relieved.
She smiled, "You scared me."
As he grew closer, the anxiety left her body and she began to settle, "Would you hold my shawl?" She asked.
Saying nothing, Khizer took the shawl from her. Now, she was out of sight from anybody else, standing with Khizer in front of her.
"If you had told me about the wind, I wouldn't have left my hair untied," She said with a complaining tone.
He stared at her for a moment, eyes locked on her face. His hand lifted to touch her cheek as he spoke, " You know what? You look damn pretty in this colour."
A strange surprise lit in her eyes. In the next moment, Khizer found it difficult to decide whether the dress was more beautiful or her face.
"If you blush just after the one sentence, you'll kill me as soon as it gets worse," Khizer said innocently.
She laughed.
They were back to the hotel in almost four hours. Eman was tired. She felt into sleep without change her dress.
The next day they were at the hotel room sitting in front of each other.
Eman stared at his face while staring she accepted for the first time that which resistor stand between her and Farhan; due to him her prayers for Farhan were not be accepted for seven years.
There was something in that person who was in front of Eman; due to which his prayers were accepted but not hers, and every time she was sent back to him. She thought with her wet eyes.
The proof he owned, after which there was no need of any other proof. How much she had been blessed? She realized it, just she could realize it.
Trouble, Anxiety, and fear... there were some of the three. Eman took a glimpse of his face and then his black hoody in which his collar was featured.
Without saying anything with lots of softness, she came close to him and placed her arms around his neck and put her head on his chest, and kept her eyes closed.
She felt his perfume for the first time. He was still. For him, it was a dream. It was just unbelievable.
After a few seconds, with the same softness, He placed his arms around her.
"I am honoured", she heard him in a slow voice. He softly kissed her closed eyes.
"People who say, they don't get their love, you know why it would happen?" At night withholding his hand, with her wet eyes, smiling lips, she asked.
A few moments Eman was silent then she spoke, "When there is no reality in love, in their feelings, then they'll never get their love. Seven years back, I loved whom, I loved him with all my heart, prayers, duties, sacrifices. What did I not do for him but I didn't get him, you know why? "
Khizer was speechless.
Khizer curiously questioned, "Why? "
"Because at that time you also started loving me and in your love, there is more purity than mine," She answered.
After wiping her cheeks, his hand came away wet and covered in her tears.
"You know Khizer, I felt that God made me with lots of love, He does not want to give me to such a person who criticizes me and misused me. Now I'm damn sure about Farhan, He did all this with me, He will never value me," she stopped.
Khizer consoled her, "Don't overthink, leave it. You'll be destroyed by your thoughts. Don't think about him and the past, For God sake, Eman."
"No Khizer, in these seven years Allah showed me everything, every reality, every person eternity or physical showing. He gave me to you because He knows that you are the person whose love for me is real. who else can be for me besides you? You said right; 'you love me purely,'" Words had again started as a flame from her eternity.
He was still as she kissed both of his hands.
Eman confessed her feelings, " How much I'll love you, I don't know that by heart. I don't have any authority on my heart, but the life I'll live with you, I'll be faithful and obedient to you, it's in my control. In every turn of life, I'll be with you. I have come to your life on good days so in bad days I'll never leave you alone."
She left his hand with the same softness at which she holds it before, and
she cleared her wet face.They spent almost a week there on long drives, candlelight dinners, and enjoying every moment with each other.
After one week, when they were on drive back home; Eman spoke, "I need a card for my phone."
She opened her bag and tried to pick something from the bag. When she picked it up, the thing made him still. It was a note of a thousand rupees.
And she was unaware of Khizer's reaction, his changing facial colours, she searched for a shop around, where the cards would expect to be available.
Khizer put his hand on hers and told her, "I'll buy for you and no need of it, and you are my responsibility now. "
Eman felt a magical effect again in his personality. She felt like she was in a fort when Khizer was around.
When they reach, they both went to their room to get some rest.
The next morning, Khizer went to the office and Eman was bored without him. Although, she was hesitant to accept it. She had become addicted to his presence.
She decided to watch TV to pass the time. while shuffling through the channels, one channel, in particular, caught her eye. She couldn't believe her own eyes; It was a program regarding business, stock markets, and its members were there, Khizer included.
At first sight, she was unable to believe that it was him, that it was Khizer, but after a few seconds, she saw her husband's name flash on the screen. She was suddenly very excited and she listened to his conversation, not fully focused on the words.
While listening and watching him on the screen, she accepted that he was impressive, composed, confident, sharp, and completely professional.
For the first time, she focused on his face. Then, She felt the beauty of his voice. After almost two months of marriage, as she watched him, she was incredibly inspired by her husband.
