(INDEED TO YOUR LORD IS THE RETURN) HOLY QURAN 96:8...

I request my precious readers to pray their salah if they haven't prayed yet before reading this chappy....

Asfa's pov :

I was angry at him, for working too late and not taking care of himself ...

Oh! so I remind you how many times you did?? my conscience mocked!!

And, I kept turning and tossing! but sleep was far away from me and then, I slept and again I witnessed the night mare! which I hate to remember, and it again broke me...

I felt, someone consoling me and shook me and I woke up to see, Humza holding me and I engulfed him in a tight hug and sobbed...

I'm not alone this time! he was with me, he cajoled me like a baby and his presence calmed me down and he was soothing me..

Then, after sometime he lulled me to sleep! but it was far away from me.. because, I don't want to see those dreams again and I slowly detached myself from him, I took my dairy and sat on the living room and started writing it..

It's the only way to release my emotional feelings and worries from myself and I didn't tell Humza about my night mares or the incident! where, I almost lost everything..

Not because that, I didn't trust him but, because of my own insecurities.. because, I'm always a messed up person.. Whenever I think everything is falling in place, again it shattered into pieces....

I felt a presence behind me and I turned around to only get engulfed by a hug and I instantly clung to him and inhaled his scent, which calmed my senses! he was rubbing my back and took me to room, but I didn't want to sleep but he took me in his arms and made me sleep..

Before drifting in to slumber, I heard him say.. "you are not alone in this, I'm with you! " I smiled and nuzzled my nose in his chest...



I stirred in my sleep, but he was nowhere to be found and a rose with a note was placed on his pillow, I grabbed it..

Dear wifey! finally you woke up;)

Get fresh fast and meet me at the breakfast table and hurry up!

I'm waiting
Yours one and only

This man seriously knows how to make me smile! I got fresh and wore my outfit and climbed down, to only met with mouth watering smell of food and my stomach growled and the sight in front of me fluttered my heart!! my handsome! was tossing the pancakes in the pan and I watched him in amusement, doing his work passionately..

He sensed my presence and turned around, he neared me and kissed my forehead and I smiled..

"so what's cooking? " I asked curiously..

"Chico chip pancakes, for My wifey!" he said smilingly..

"let me help! " I said, but he stopped and made me seat on the kitchen island...
