The cold air hit her making her body shiver as she slowly walked out of the graveyard, her hands were still shaking, she can barely hold herself together. She knew that her fathers grave was couple of feet away from where she was standing but she was afraid to face him. She didn't wanted her father see her in this state. She couldn't go near him at least not today, she turned slowly and walked away with broken heart and was followed by Azad.
Her whole body was so tired and hurt inside, it has been a rough journey for her but she had to stood strong for her family to not notice.
She was sitting quietly at her favorite place, beside her was Azad silently watching her, he could tell that she was broken. Asyas tears have been dried up, she felt nothing but emptiness.
Her loneliness constricts her heart. Loneliness cripples the body and the mind and heart. Asya remembered Noors words that she once said. Now she knew exactly what she felt like.
That is exactly how she felt, she felt as if there is no one to understand herself in this world except Allah.
"Why didnt you tell me about everything earlier?" Azad finally spoke.
"Would you believe me if I had told you the truth?" She asked gently while looking at him. Her eyes filled with pain her face was all tired, tired of every pain that had appeared and had to deal with.
''I am sorry...''All he could say as he lowered his head in regret.
Asya silence was his punishment....a punishment that will forever will torture him.
''Azad once we go back I will sign the papers and just know that I really needed the money for a good reason and please don't mention this in front of my family''she rather said quickly with raspy voice due to her crying. He just nodded his head as if the words has been lost in his mind, how could he not. He was in deep regret, but most of all in fear of loosing her.
''What if I don't want the divorce''he said..then continued
''Asya listen I know I have done horrible things to you and I know I am going to sound selfish but please don't leave me.. I need you Asya''
''Azad I don't want to get hurt anymore...''Azad quickly stood in front of her holding both of her hands.
''I dont have the ability to or the power to deal with it all this time I am sorry but I don't believe you anymore.'' with that she stood up but Azad grabbed her hand and hugged her.
''Asya I won't loose you again...I won't let go of this hand not anymore'' Azad said still hugging her tightly.
Asya used her last strength to push Azad away from her. Her eyes were now burning red since her tears were dried off. Her chest was raising in speed indication of her anger.
''Do you want to know why I took the money?''she was finally ready for the confession.
Azad forgetten about the incident but he no longer cared he just wanted her, to heal her broken heart. They are both standing in front of each other the cool air hit their body but none of them didn't care. Their eyes never leaved one another.
"Asya I.. I really dont..."as he was about to finish his sentence Asya cut him off.
"I needed the money to save my mother..."She felt somehow a relief.
"What?...what do you mean?"he was in shock.
"She...she had a tumor in her brain, I couldnt loose her too, thats the reason I took the money and I nobody knows this except your brother and Mukhtar" she said before collapsing.
"What did you just said?" Asya and Azad turned to the voice.
There at far right side of Asya was her brother in disbelief.
"Abi(elder brother)" said Asya.
It was indeed Asyas older brother standing in front of them in anger. He wished he never came searching for them.
He stormed fast towards Azad and punched him. Asya came in between to prevent her brother for her hurting Azad more. Her brothers focus was now on Asya.
"How in the hell could you do this?" He yelled at her.
Asya knew this day will come up, her eyes were burning her chest was rising.
"I had to save her" she said.
Asya felt a stinging pain in her cheek she realized her brother have just slapped her for the first time in her life.
Azad pushed Emir away but Asya held his arm from harming her brother.
Her brother lowered his gaze a sign of regret and guilt, she knew her heart warming brother have done in anger and she wasnt angry at him at all after all she thinks she deserved it by deceiving everyone.
"I am sorry..."all she said before she collapsed.
"Asya?...Asya?" Was the last word she heard before closing her eyes.
She was walking in empty endless room nothing but pure white background, she realized her arms and her body had bruises and bleeding all over. She felt tired as if someone have beaten her to death. She started to run as if her life depends on it.
'Asya' she heard....
'Asya'she then turned to the sound and was shock to see her father. As she walked towards her father she stops and remembers her body was in bad situation she didnt wanted her father to see her in this state so turned away from her father.
"Baba(dad) I dont want you to see me in like this" she cried.
'Asya you are my child let me help you' he said gently.
She couldn't resist her father and ran up to him and hugged him.
'Baba I am so sorry....I am sorry' she cried in her father chest. One of the most secure place she felt.
'Shhhh its not your fault, Asya listen my child even when I am gone I am still in your heart and always will be dont feel guilty and your mom will understand what you have done is for her own good' he said as he retrieved from the hug.
'And there is always a second chance' he said before leaving.
'Babaaa' she scream as she woke up, she checked her surroundings, it was her whole family beside her.
"Are you alright Asya" her mother rushed beside her and held her hand.
Asya smiled as she felt her mother warm hands and nodded her head.
"The doctor told us your body felt week and you are anemic so that means young lady more food especially Vitamins" her mother said.
"I am fine mom" she quietly said
"Anyways I made some soup and you favorite dish I will be right back..." she said as she and everyone left the room except Azad and her brother.
"I am sorry Asya I shouldn't have done this to you...I am really regretfull" her brother said while tear drop down his eyes. Asya hugged her brother tightly.
"I was never mad in the first place" she said while retrieved from hug.
"This is between all three of us never mention about this" Asyas brother said looking at both Asya and Azad.
