Her love & her regrets

chapter#13 (unedited)

Aslam o alaikum guys

Hoorain 's pov:

Fahad took me to the jewelry shop and suddenly a painful memory hit me like a hammer.

Flashback

"Where are you taking me Aaliyaan we are getting late already we should go home" I whined like a little child but seriously I was so exhausted now.
Aaliyaan stood before a jewelry shop.

We were standing by a window outside the shop because Aaliyaan had no money at that time to buy me that beautiful diamond necklace. It was so beautiful that all my tiredness vanishes in a go.

"It's so beautiful" I said keeping my fingers on window.

"Yes it is, I brought you here to promise you that the day I'll get that money the first thing I'll do is to purchase you this diamond necklace" His eyes were glimmering with hope and happiness.

Flashback ends

"Hoor" I was pulled back to reality which was so different from my memories.

"Are you Alright" Fahad asked me with concern. I smiled and nodded.

"Okay so I've selected this diamond ring for you" He showed me the ring which was round cut with little diamonds on whole ring and a blue mesmerizing diamond on the centre. I slowly took the ring in my hand.

"It's beautiful" I said and handed back to Fahad knowing that it would be expensive.

"pack it" Fahad said to shopkeeper.

"Fahad it's looking too expensive, let's go home I don't want to buy it" I whispered in his ear hoping that he would understand but when he didn't listen to me, I kept my mouth shut.

And to be honest it costed him 5 lacs which sucked the breath out of me.

As we were moving back to where Hania and Faraz were, someone bumped into me, no actually he pushed me with his shoulder but not before grasping my hand and then leaving it, I was about to fall when immediately Fahad pulled me into him.

"Can't you see properly" Fahad shouted behind stranger who ignored us and disappeared like speed of light.

We didn't see his face but it all happened just too fast that for a second I was unable conclude anything. To be honest I was scared as hell, Fahad was stroking my hair while hugging me like a protective shield and my eyes were closed.

I was so grateful that Fahad was there with me, otherwise I would have been in the hospital begging for my child's life just because of that stranger who I think was not in senses.

"Are you alright? " Fahad whispered in my ear. Finally I opened my eyes and was embarrassed to know that many people were gawking at us because we were hugging each other in public, not we, only I was hugging him and he was just rubbing my back to soothe me.

We parted away, I was so getting used to him that even his mere hug was affecting me, actually his warmth was something I felt like protection and care in it.

Fahad still didn't left my hand for which I was thankful.

Fahad pov:

Today we were so tired, it was 09:00 pm when we reached home, as we had our dinner in a restaurant so Hoorain also went directly in her room, I also ascended to my room but not before instructing Nafeesa to give a glass of milk to Hoorain, I can't take risk on her health anymore.

I just quickly slipped in my night dress and got into covers. As my eyes were about to close, the beep of message on the mobile disturbed me. Reluctantly I saw the message.
