Daneen.. Her LOVE Story

Talk my heart out..

After we ate, he sat with me on the couch, not knowing what to say, we both were silent. He slowly reached for my hand and held it in his.

"I'm not letting this go.. this time" he said, kissing my hand.. I didn't know how were we going to talk things out, if he kept doing it...  a blush came on my cheek..

"Ohh you are blushing.." pointing at my cheek he said, mocking me.

"Please Zaky, be serious.."

"okay I'm being serious. now tell me.."

"tell you what ??"

"Tellme... no.. no.. ask me what you wanna know.." confusion washed over me.. i eyed him questioningly

"what do you mean by that???"

"I think the best way to solve our problems is to know what runs in our heads, what has bothered us the most, for example, it bothered me like hell when you came here leaving me..."

"I.. I was... angry.. it was.." I was lost for words for some seconds..

"Yes, now I understand.. but at that time I thought that you don't want to be in my life.. and just like that there are some things that must have come into your mind. and these are the things that create misunderstandings. so first i think, we should work on that... ask me what you wanna know?" he tried to explain

I looked at him for a second,"Zaky did you love Zara?"

"Yes.." he replied calmly and my heart started drowning.. he continued,"but as a sister. Do you know she was like a sister to me?" infront of my eyes, I saw that the waves were also struggling to meet the shore... the struggle was everywhere...

"WHATTT!!!!! Weren't you two high school sweethearts??? I came to know that you were a couple???"

Now it was his turn to react.. "Whatttt!!! Who said that??"

"Not important now, I just wanna know who is she to you? And all those secrets that you have been hiding. I'm sick and tired of ignoring all those negative things that have been haunting me ever since that day. You know what bothered me the most, Zara.....
She bothered me the most. Because when I saw you two together, it was like you two had a connection. And I thought that I came in between so I thought to give you your happiness and I decided to come here.."

"Wrong, wrong, wronnnngg and to your last one W-R-O-N-G..." he said making a straight face... "and your head needs a checkup.." he continued tapping my brain.

"Mr.Zaky can you be a lil serious please" he was being funny and I never thought that we would be discussing our life's problems like this..."

"Okay okay... I was just making you cheerful before the talk.."

"Is it that scary Zaky..?"

"Yes, it is. Can you promise me one thing? you won't judge me from my past."

"Please Zaky, don't scare me more. and tell me already..."

"I was always a different kid.My parents have pampered me a lot because I was the only kid. I used to get whatever I want. and this controlling and authoritative nature grew more as I grown up.. initially it was just bribing and bullying, getting someone do your home works, but the more people started fearing me, the better I used to feel.. and by the time I was in my senior year,  I had a gang and we were involved in much more than bullying. we did shitty things, we were involved in partying, girls and drugs..." he finished and looked at me with searching eyes.. didn't know what he saw there but he continued..

"My parents had no idea of my doings and that was why you have never found anything on my facebook. I used different social apps and if you have seen those pictures you wouldn't have said yes to marry me. And I thank God for that."

He took a pause and looked at the roaring ocean, "Do you wanna have a walk?" Asked me sheepishly scratching his head.. ending his misery I stood up and offered him my hand, he took it gladly..
