                WORD COUNT: 875

Hamza's pov:

"I'm here, I'm here Hamza. What happened? Did you have a nightmare, it's okay, it's okay". She hugged me and it was so warm. Only then I was able to breathe.The thought of losing her made me mad. I should stop overthinking.

"Here, drink this", she handed me a glass of water.

"You were sleeping so peacefully, so I never wanted to wake you up when I woke for fajr and all of a sudden you are screaming my name when I was praying. I was actually scared that something has happened to you".

"It's nothing, just the effect of overthinking", I laughed nervously.

"Just don't laugh. You scared the shit out of me". She killed me with her stare.

"Okay the day has started badly so let's pray and make it better".

"Yes today is the last day of my leave and I don't want to spend it crying".

Hayat's pov:

We had our lunch and decided to watch a movie

"I'm not a movie kind of person so you can choose anything and I will give you company or maybe sometimes I may fall asleep as you watch the movie". I laughed .

"Uggghhh you are so boring than I thought you to be". She made a face.

"Okay how about "frozen"?" I suggested the only movie that I remembered

"I have watched it a zillion times, shall we watch "the ratatouille"?, it's my all time favourite

"Why are you behaving like a kid?, come on let's watch "The good dinosaur".

"I love it, but now I'm not in a mood to watch that". She whined.

"How about "tangled"? I asked with frustration.

"Yayyy, how did I forget my favourite one?". Finally we agreed and played it.

I am jealous of eugene. The way she looked at him made me go mad. She was watching the film while I kept on watching her. While my rapunzel is here why should I watch this .

"If she's here, it's crystal clear
I'm where I'm meant to go...."
the lyrics felt new as if it was written for us. Something inside me got triggered. I don't know where I got the nerve to intertwine our hands but I initiated and she accepted. I could feel her stiffen under my touch. We just sat like that for the entire movie. It felt a way more beautiful and magical than tangled.

It was evening when we completed the movie.

"I never knew you could make amazing mint tea." I complimented her as I sipped the tea. She made us tea after dinner.

"Thank you", she blushed.

"I must be the one thanking. Thank you for the tea".

I never know what magic is but certain nights are really a magic. It just makes us a different person , it brings out a person that we try to hide within us, we might have buried that person long ago but certain nights dig them and bring them up alive. It gives life to that sleeping person. It is a miracle , a wonder or whatever we name it. This beautiful night is one such night. It never let me sleep , I was staring at hayat and something inside me stirred.

"Hayat, I don't know what I have done to deserve you but you are here next to me sleeping peacefully and I just want this forever. You make my life merrier and my soul happier. You add some extra blues to my sky and some extra green to my trees. You make me a happier person and an even better person. You are the blessing,the miracle that changed my life. You taught me the reason for my existence. You make my life meaningful. You are such a precious gem that reached my hands somehow very easily. I just can't throw away such a gem though I know I don't deserve it. I can't let you go Hayat. If I lose you I will lose myself. I love you Hayat, I love you so much". I stroked her head as I dreamt of proposing to her like this one day when she is awake. But I can never speak my mind out when I look at those blue eyes.

As I was talking to myself , I felt Hayat's heart beat rapidly in an uneven pace. She was having a nightmare it seems.
"Hayat, Hayat, relax baby, it's okay it's okay, nothing has happened shhh.. shhh..." I hugged her and rubbed her back slowly.

Hayat's pov:

"IamnotasleepandIloveyoutoohamza"(I am not asleep and I love you Hamza), I blurted out, I mean the words ran out faster than it should. But his silence proved that he understood it so I never cared to repeat it again. When I say this just believe me, the darkness did not make my confession any less easier. My heart was beating as if running a race. His words were magical and his warm hug made me comfortable enough that I couldn't stop myself.

"Ohhh Hayat, do you really love me?" His face looked so funny as he asked me this.

"I love you so much", I mumbled, but loud enough for him to hear it .

And then we sealed this magical night with a meaningful kiss....
