........................................................................

Asfa's pov :

I just stared at his retreating back and stood immobile there, until he was out of my sight completely...

Tears were unstoppable and it was flowing down my cheeks! fully wetting my face veil, I wiped it off and steadied my composure, then our bodyguards carefully lead me to the car and one of the bodyguards opened the door for me and I sat on the backseat and I felt like someone squeezed my heart, I didn't know? his absence will affect me this much?? then, the driver took me to my house and all the way back home, I was keep on thinking about him and on seeing me, saffu jumped on me..

It was first time entering my house, I mean my old house after the nikah! and grandpa opened his arms and I just ran into embrace..

"how is my doll?? " grandpa asked..

"I'm fine, Alhamdulillah! grandpa" I said, keeping my voice calm and composed...

"how are you grandpa? " I asked calmly..

"fit and fine my doll " he said, grinning..

"sisto we missed you so much! " said the twins, almost whinning...

I chuckled "I missed you too" I said sounding sad..

"Now you're not going to office! you're spending full day with me and that's final! " saffu ordered..

I raised my hands up in surrender and her smile widened! because Rey is too not present in the office and I don't think I'll work today, because someone took my heart and peace of mind with him...

Whole day went with chitchatting about all the things! which I missed while I was in our penthouse despite we face time everyday! but still it's not satiable and In the afternoon, I made her favorite Schezwan Stir fry noodles as per her request and I put it one plate...

It was our thing to eat in a plate, mostly she'll not be eating, I'll be the one who's feeding her and me! while she'll continue her rambling like no tomorrow and then we prayed our salah and I prayed for his safe journey and it was a 14 hour flight to Australia...

On evening, I got a Skype call from Rey and Haan bro and she was pretty happy and squealing like a kid, but she was complaining about how possessive bro had became and he never allows her to eat unhealthy foods and she was irritated! I chuckled at how silly she was being and then, I settled their silly quarrel after talking with me for almost an hour! then, she disconnected the call and I sighed...

Then, I entered my room and everything was the same as I left it! I took my pjs from the closet got changed and came out only to get met with silence and emptiness, I felt really sad! but before I was used to these kinds of emptiness but after living with Humza! I'm not used to these anymore...

By just remembering him my face split into a smile! and I soon got under the covers and pulled the duvet closer to me! but sleep was faraway, how can i sleep?? when I got used to sleep in his arms, where he'll nuzzle his nose in my neck and he'll be cuddling with me all the time...

I miss you my cuddly bear!!

I kept tossing and turning in the bed, but I didn't get a blink of sleep and I got irritated, then I opened my bag which I brought with me today! and I took out his tee and I wore it and his smell calmed my senses and I felt like he was hugging me, I smiled and then I hopped on the bed and snuggled into the pillow, thinking as if I'm snuggling into him ..

Before falling asleep "come back soon!! I can't live without you, my lion! " I mumbled sleepily....

.......................................

It's been three days since, he left for Australia and I was counting days to see him and when I'll think! that it'll be easy because the number of days will be decreasing, but each day it's getting worse and tears brimmed my eyes...

I cried hysterically and I was terribly missing him and my heart was beating erratic, so I quickly did my ablution and offered my magrib salah and I cried my heart out to my rab! who'll ease my every problem and after completing salah! I took out Quran and started reading it, then after reading for half an hour, I kept it back on my shelf...

"come-on dinner is ready babygirl! let's eat! " momma said smilingly...

"no momma, I'm not feeling hungry " I said, because I had no appetite to eat and I didn't heard anything from Humza! since yesterday and I was waiting for his call! but due the 16 hour time difference it gets difficult, when I Call him he's asleep and vice-versa...

"you'll come and eat with us, and no more arguments! " she said, firmly and I sighed in defeat..

We entered the dining table and aala sisto was feeding our little Zain and he was pouting not liking his food!!

He looks damn adorable!! my lil munchkin!!...

Then, momma filled my plate with grilled chicken sandwiches and tomato basil soup and I put extra ketchup on my sandwich and momma was glaring at me! because I catch cold easily..

You know my history of cold right!!

I smiled sheepishly, at her...

"you're worst than zain!" she mumbled laughingly...

And aala roared into fits of laughter, I just glared at her!! after completing the dinner, I took Zain to his room, changed his clothes and bathed him, then I read a bed time story for him and I lulled him to sleep...

Aala was in her deep thoughts, I shook her and she broke out of her trance and I asked the most dreaded question? which was bugging me from a long time...

"can I ask you a question? " I asked hesitantly...

She was stroking Zain's hair "of course! ask anything asfu" she said casually...

"umm where is Zain's father? I didn't see anyone mentioning about him? " I asked, dumbfounded...

And next moment I regretted it, I saw the raw pain emerged in her pretty face, looks like I hit a nerve there and I shouldn't have invaded her privacy! looks like I reopened a unhealed wound..

Tears brimmed her eyes and she was controlling herself not to breakdown...

"hey! it's OK, no need to answer " I said, in panic and I took her hands and rubbed it..

"no no! I'll tel,l it's just that, it hurts!! " she said, smiling sadly...

"Daniyal my husband, died in a car accident! three years ago! " she said, and a tear slipped out of her eyes...

I quickly wiped it off and cupped her face "I'm sorry " I said, and quickly hugged her and she sobbed, in my embrace...

"he died before a month! when Zain was born" she said and her sobs increased and I rubbed her back, trying to soothe her...

"he was so happy! that he was becoming a father and he chose the name as well, for our little munchkin " she said, remembering the past...

My heart crushed! while thinking how much pain she had endured in her life and I felt bad for reopening her wounds and I too was crying with her..

"you're so strong and I'm very proud of you! because you're the best momma, I'm the world " I said assuring her...

She smiled a little, then I wiped her tears and after talking for sometime she slept with Zain and I went to my room...

I stayed two days at grandpa's and then, I came yesterday here to my in-laws house and after aala's revelation I felt bad, I completely understand her pain! because no one can understand how it feels to lose the person, you love the most...

Then, I took a book from the shelf and started reading it, to keep myself occupied! I didn't notice that it was too late at night...

suddenly, I remembered Humza and my eyes brimmed with tears! then my phone started ringing and I looked at the caller ID and my face breaks into a smile...

"Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu! wifey " he said, with a longing..

My heart skipped a beat, hearing him calling me 'wifey' I missed him so much!..

"Walaikum salam warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu " I said, stifling my cry and I took a deep breath to stop from sobbing..

"darling! Pls don't cry " he pleaded and I wiped my tears and nodded my head, like he could See Me...

"how are you? " I asked...

"I'm fine darling! but I miss you so much " he said sadly...

"I miss you too!" I said and bit my lip to stop crying...

"when are you coming back? " I asked him, longingly....

"I still have lots of work to do here! but I'll come back as soon as possible "he said assuring me, but my heart sunk deep down knowing he'll not coming back soon...

"it's OK! I'll wait" I said sounding OK..

"darling, I've to go! the meeting is starting now, I'll call you back and sleep well OK! I miss you my love " he said and disconnected the phone...

Tears ran freely in my cheeks and I didn't wiped it off and I was missing him terribly, I miss to be in his arms, and I miss his kisses and cuddles, I miss his soothing voice which will make me calm....

"Pls come back! Humza, I need you" I cried sadly...

Then, after sometime I closed my book and kept it on the night stand and I dimmed the light and snuggled in the pillow....



Finally today was the day! when he'll be coming back and I was so happy! unfortunately! I had a meeting and I didn't go to receive him in the airport but I'll surprise him with my gift! I thought and rubbed my belly smiling content and feeling how he'll react when he will hear the news...

Then, I was in the middle of the meeting when my phone rang and I attend the phone

"hello " I said normally..

"is this asfa Ibrahim? " someone asked while my eyebrows frowned in confusion..

"yes! how may I help you? " I asked..

"well you need to come to the hospital right now! mam, because your husband met with a brutal accident and he is in the ICU " he said..

My breath got hitched and my body went numb! I felt like all the life has been sucked out of me and I was unable to breath and I still couldn't believe that Humza is critical...

"noooo" I shrieked and woke up sweating profusely...

My breath was ragged and it was just a dream! but I was actually crying, I calmed myself, saying its just a dream that's it! but it looked so real and I was scared! the mere thought of loosing him just scares the hell out of me...

I quickly detached myself from the bed and did my ablution and offered my tahajjud salah and I prayed for his safety the whole time and I was crying profusely and after completing my fajr salah, I slept because of tiredness...

I felt someone caressing my cheek, I groaned in annoyance! then someone kissed my cheek and tip of the nose, I felt irritated that someone was disturbing my sleep but someone chuckled then he pecked my lips softly....

Then, I opened my and blinked back several times! to confirm that I was seeing correctly!and the emerald orbs was staring at me, lovingly and my eyes bulged out of the socket....

"missed me darling? " he asked, grinning...

Oh my Allah! he is really back!!
