40 . Our Home

WORD COUNT:758

Hayat's pov:

"This used to be my house and from now on this will be our home . See , our place is only ten minutes away from Rafan's, Come in Hayat". He welcomed me .

I took small steps and entered our home . I myself smiled at the "our home" phrase . It was small but tidy, the way I wished it to be . He took me to the kitchen and showed me everything , he even made us some coffee . It was so nice of him. He has known that food could stop my crying and I have to appreciate him for knowing this . He took me to the bedroom the " our room " according to him. There was a balcony in our room . The view looked amazing from there. I just love our home .

" You can go change into something comfortable Hayat " he offered me. I nodded my head and changed into a kurti , I was not comfortable enough to change into a night suit in front of him . It is too soon .

Hamza's pov:

She came back and sat with me at a comfortable distance . We sat in silence and it was so soothing. It felt different to be with her in my home . In our home . We were under the same sky and now we are under the same roof , it felt amazing . I loved her little talks , those quick glances , the redness in her cheeks , I loved everything about her , the way she breathes , the way she sits, the way she walks. She is an angel in disguise.

I offered her some apple to which she accepted without any second thought , she has a greater appetite, but now She was literally crumbling it . She was chewing it slowly . She was smiling at me at regular intervals, I could say she is trying to make me feel comfortable , she doesn't know how comfortable and happy I am when with her .

We talked about our school days and about our friends. I avoided the names and places . We talked about family and I avoided it by just listening to her , not asking her any questions. We talked about nothing and everything.

Hayat's pov:

He avoided speaking about his family, his eyes never looked at mine when we were speaking about that . There is something fishy , maybe he needs some time to open up just like me . I never spoke about my mom , I was feared that I might cry . Maybe we need some more time to give into each other .

" Hayat, good night sweet dreams" , he smiled and laid down at his side of the bed . This closeness was new to me and it felt really awkward , but I managed a smile and returned his greeting . I laid down at my side and dwelled into thoughts . I dreamt of how my wedding would have been if I had my parents by my side, I thought of all the possibilities and impossibilities. I thought of all the advice she would have given me .
"What would have she presented me on my special day? , maybe a neckace or a beautiful dress or maybe she would have given me any special belonging of her . What would it have been ?". His cough bought me back to reality only then I realised that I was crying , I wiped my tears and turned towards him hesitantly. He was wide awake like me . I don't know whether this is awkward or creepy or maybe both , that's what I felt .

Hamza's pov :

I was restless and cannot sleep as I was thinking about everything . We both never had our parents by our side to bless us on our special day. I was thinking about my family. my dad and hafeez would be angry on me , but my mom always wished the best for me . I was in my own thoughts and I heard Hayat's silent sobbing .

"Ummm , Hayat if my guess is right , you are not a sleep."

" It's nothing , I'm just thinking about Romaisa, she would be missing me " .

" we will surprise her tomorrow morning , this is a new place for you so maybe you can't sleep quickly. "

"I will get adjusted , it's not an issue Hamza. "

" If you are not comfortable , we can go out for a stroll, but it's too cold outside".

"It's okay Hamza, it takes time and everything will be fine as I said before ."

"We can play a game then "

" what game are we going to play at this time of the night?"

I winked at response to which she smiled shyly ....
