You Changed Me ✔✔✔

17. Beginning of a new chapter

Zoya pov

I woke up to the sound of birds chirping  and the wind that hit the trees making them dance for its tune. I heard a knock on our room door. I opened my eyes and the morning light hit my face. I always loved the warmth in the morning. Earlier, when everything used to be normal, I go out of my room and to the balcony. I do suryanamaskar and that's how my day begins.

I again heard a knock and was about to open the door but remembered sahir who was on the couch. "Sahir..." I said for him to hear. "Wake up na" I said shaking him by his shoulder. "Two minutes" he said like a child being forced to wake up to go to school.

I never knew sahir had this side of his. "Are you going to wake up or..." I stopped not knowing what I'll do. "Or?" He asked opening his eyes. "Nothing but, if I open the door..." I was cut off by the knock.

"Ohh shit" he said and stood up and took the blanket and set the bed like it's really too shuffled. I'm not someone who mess up the bed in one night. He then lied on the bed and acted as if hes asleep. I checked myself before opening the door.

It was amaya aunty standing outside with a tray of coffee and behind stood a maid with a tray of... breakfast I guess. "Aunty... you didn't have to do this. We'd have come down" I said but she shook her head. "I know you both must be tired and I think you'll didnt have enough sleep" she said the last part with a wink

I blushed and looked anywhere but her face. "Here, have this and have a nap. It's fine with us to have you both at lunch." She said and I smiled.

I took in the trays and closed the door. Mom and Noor stays at sahir's guest house and Zara is at uncle's. Zayn is out if city and hell be back just to take zara along. I have no clue what's going on in Zara's life. I hope everything is fine.

I then walked towards the bed placing the food and coffee on the tee table. I sat on the bed and saw sahir who was just pretending to sleep, has slept for real when I  called out his name. "Sahir..." I once again said and he was deep in sleep.

I just took this time to observe my husband. It felt foreign but gave a good feeling. He had sharp features. His breathing was smooth and I could see through his white t shirt that he has a well toned body. When did you change like this zoya? I asked to myself.

Not realising myself leaning towards him, I placed a soft kiss on his forehead and then his both eyes. When I kissed one of his cheek, "I'd love to be awaken like this everyday" he said and I jumped due to the sudden sound.

I was sure how red I was right now. I just wanted to hide myself from him. How embarrassing. "You cant do this, zoya" he suddenly said in a serious tone and I thought he didnt like the fact I kissed him.

I turned to him and he had a mischievous smile that said my guessment was wrong. "What?" I asked and he said,"if you only kiss one side of the cheek, what'll happen to my other cheek?" He said with a fake sob. "Dont feel sad. Zoya will kiss you soon" he said patting his cheek and I felt myself ready to laugh out.

I laughed so much after nearly a year. I was happy now. Everything was somewhat in place. But I still miss abbu. Nothing can be replaced at his place. "Zoya.." I came out of ny running thoughts when I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"I'll freshen up and come" sahir said and stood up to fo but I surprised myself by saying"what about the other cheek?"He turned to me with an amused look on his face. "Did I hear you right?" He asked sitting next to me.

Without an answer I gave a peck on his cheek and ran into the washroom. I saw myself in the mirror and my fa e was lit up with smile that never left until I finished bathing and realise I didnt have my clothes.

"Sahir..." I called and heard nothing. I slowly opened the door and sneaked to find him nowhere in the room. Thank god. I slowly stepped out of the washroom and locked the room door. I walked to my luggage and opened it to find a lemon yellow frock on top with a note,'to my wife'

I smiled and wore it. I was deying my hair when I heard a knock on the door. I opened it and in came sahir wearing fresh clothes. I assumed he had a wash in another room. He saw me and stood , his gaze going up and down my body.

I felt shy and nervous. I was getting self conscious when he walked to me and said,"it's a sin that your looking so beautiful and I hope my heart doesn't come out of the ribcage" he said and I blushed.

I bit my lip nervously and looked down. I could feel my heart beat fasten too. After I dried ny hair and had a last check in the mirror, I walked out of the room.

"As salamu alikum uncle" I said when I saw basheer uncle seated on his armchair reading the newspaper. "Zoya beta, hereafter make sure you call me dad. If your not comfortable, leave it" he said and I soon said," where's aunty, dad?" He smiled wide and said,"she must be in the garden."

I nodded and walked out to the garden. "Aunty..." I said. She turned around and said,"had a very good night" she said winking and then wiggling her brows. I blushed and turned around. "Please aunty" she chuckled and came to my front.

"I think you have to go pack as your flight is to catch in 4 hours. I've packed your dresses but, not your other essentials." What is she talking about?

"Aunty... I dont get you" I said. And when I realized what it can be. I thought how stupid i was. "Aunty... why so suddenly" i said and she said,"you both are going and that's final" she said with finality in her voice. So, this is where he got it.

Around one hour later, I was down in the living room talking to aunty and uncle... oops dad. After around another half hour, sahir was here. "So son, done with all postponement?" Asked dad and he nodded answering a phone call.

"Basheer, I want you to ask him not to have any business related activities when they're on their honeymoon" said aunty and dad nodded.

"Mom... what are you saying?" He heard her. And now sahir was looking at aunty with a fake glare. "What? Enough if working. Since, you came from studies, you have been working and now..." he cut her off,"fine" and he kept his phone and laptop on the table and took a phone from his pocket. "I'll be using this phone and number which I used during studies. Happy?" He asked and aunty grinned wide.

"You had planned that already I guess" said dad and sahir's ears reddened at the statement. "Ok then, I guess it's time for us to leave" he said as I'd he didnt hear dad. We bid bye to dad, aunty, and drove to the airport.

On our way, I called mom and talked to her and Noor and ended saying we were about to get in the airport and that was we were about to. It was already 3.30 and plane takes off at 4.30

We were on the plane when he asked,"are you comfortable with all these honeymoon thing?" We never had a time to speak from when we got to know about the honeymoon plan.

"I'm... comfortable unless your not with me" I said and he turned to me with a happy smile. "I love you" he said and I smiled and leaned on his shoulder. I felt him press a kiss on my temple. I felt my eyelids heavy and sleep took over me.

So... there begins a new part in their life.
