Salam, every one. I hope you are enjoying the chapters. Please don't forget to vote and comment and share this story.

Elam:

Clock struck it's midnight bells. As usual my eyes were struck at the entrance door waiting for any signs of his arrival. The night was still young with the stars who were dancing in the moon light. It was enchanting sight to witness.

"Goodnight Rouhi, I'll sleep with you in my heart" a little whisper echoed in the room. A faint smile appeared on my lips remembering his promise. One month passed away just as those five years . And now Ammar felt more like a dream. A past beautiful dream. My imagination of his midnight visits were now narrowed down to his whispers.

Was I accepting his absence?  Was I accepting Saqr?

"I noticed a pattern here. You see,  Omar also doesn't sleep without my goodnight kiss. So are you waiting for your kiss?"  His calm voice spoke . I turned at his voice seeing him leaning confidently against the  carved pillar.

Suddenly the stars stopped dancing,    spreading out in the moonlight.  Twinkling of the stars became bright as if they were tattletaling their shyness. His dominance was sharp even in the eerie young night.

A low groan escaped his mouth seeing my black veil loose on my lap and my black hair on display.

"Elam, cover up" he half yelled  coming forward not wanting to catch the attention of  his man patrolling in the yard around our side-wing.

Stilled as if I was bewitched I felt his arms around me. He dropped his shawl covering me and stood up with me in his arms not allowing any skin to skin contact.

Stars were gazing at us from behind the moon. There was a silver music in their brightness. Voices were heard from near by but somehow I was awestruck at the moment. As if time was holding me still, wanting me to enjoy the moment without my permission.

Shifting uncomfortable , he glared at me. Probably mad that  my face was displaying nothing. It was one thing I observed about Saqr. He felt uncomfortable in the situation where he stood unaware of the happening. Like for the Usmani incident. His rage was something I witnessed for the first time. And was glad it wasn't me on the opposite end.

"What? Don't tell me you are sleep walking? " He scoffed out looking horrified.

At this my laughter spread in the room. It was escaping me as if it was  trapped forever with me. It felt like a raw feeling that was out of control for me. It felt like I was feeling something new . Strange .  After a long long time.

"You are beautiful"

He murmured softly making me tensed . His hands reached forward and cupped my face before reaching back and spreading his fingers in my hairbun. A light sensation unfurled near my jaw  and towards the edge of my ears. His nose slowly inhaling my scent .

Saqr:

"Ya Rouhi"

Involuntary I voiced leaning forward and hovering above her.

"Saqr"  she murmured softly . In that moment my heart drop and breathing  halt. This feeling felt familiar and came with a sense of betrayal. She felt just like how he use to describe her. Whenever he use to paint her with his words. Those painting were coming alive now.

Looking down at her, my eyes drank her like a thirsty man. Her eyes close, and cheeks rosy red due cold winds breezing in from the window . But it carried pain. Our pain.

I couldn't go on without her wishes. I felt her nervousness when she sat like a rock watching me.

"One day she will be our downfall Saqr" Ammar use to say. He never explained his line. But it felt like he knew she was in for both of us from the start. But now this felt new.

" Yes. But she was your honor then and now mine and her love won't be my downfall but my salvation. You will always be her moon, her loyal companion. And I will be her many stars . We will  outshine ourselves that she stays hidden in  our brightness, and only breath for our eyes" .

I promised them with a kiss on her eyes.
