You And I (A Zayn Malik Fanfiction)

Chapter 15.

Zara's POV.

"Mom can I help you? I'll wash the dishes! ", I said to Mom as I walked to the kitchen and saw her struggling with the huge amount of work in there.

After Dad left, Mom cried for what seemed like an hour or so, and she slept away in my arms after that.

I settled her on the couch and went to my room.

I cried, a lot.

That was when I thought maybe I should talk to Zayn, maybe I would feel better after that.

He's like the light of my life now. Every time I talk to him, it always ends with a smile on my face.

Talking to him about all that happened today, decreased my sorrow to some extent. He never fails at making me smile.

The afternoon passed like that. Mom and I had a good sleep, which was all that we needed at that time.

I helped Mom in making the dinner in the evening. We cooked chicken curry together.

All this time, Mom didn't speak much. She only answered me with a slight nod or hand gestures. I hate seeing her like this.

She has always been so strong, and seeing her so weak now, I feel bad for her.

"Mom? ", I called out to her again as I started washing the dishes.

She turned to me and stared blankly. Maybe she feared she'll start crying again if she talked to me, that's why she wasn't saying much.

" I love you Mum, and I'll never leave your side like Dad did. ", I gave her an assuring smile.

She didn't say anything, but just gave me a slight nod.

This isn't working.

Just then, the door bell rang.

" I'll get it! ", I said to Mom.

Who could it be at this time?

I opened the door to find out who it was.

My eyes went wide when I saw Dad standing there.

I looked behind him and saw a suitcase and a bag kept at the floor.

I looked back to Dad and went completely out of words.

"Daddy's Home! ", he said to me, giving me a slight smile.

Oh. My. God.

He's back!!

I jumped into his arms and hugged him tight, trying my best not to cry out of joy.

" Daddy! You're back!! ", I almost screamed with excitement.

He came back! I didn't fail! I convinced him!

" Yes sweetie, Daddy's back!", Dad squealed.

"I love you!! ", I said giving him a kiss on the cheek after pulling away.

Dad kept on staring at me and finally spoke in a low voice," I'm sorry for being such a dick. "

" Zara, who's-"

I turned around to find Mom standing at a distance, her eyes opened wide.

I could see so many emotions at the same time in her eyes. But the most prominent one was happiness.

"Mom! Daddy's home! "

A tear went down her cheek, and a smile went up her face, both at the same time.
