This chapter is dedicated to my lovely college, I just have a week to spend with my college and friends.😭😭😭

Zoya's pov :

I opened my eyes to a peaceful white ceiling and found my husband's hand protectively wrapped around me. I smiled looking at his heavenly face and it brought me happiness.

I can live my whole life looking at him. I felt a hand on my cheeks and found him caressing it breaking my deep thoughts, I shifted my head to his chest and hugged him.

I dozed off last night while speaking to him. It was around 3:00 am I guess. He was really scared. Frightened about what all happened. His tight hold around my waist proves it.

He can't take the betrayal from Rizwan and I know he is trying to facade it in front of me. "But I know you more than you... my lovely Ahad.. "

I neither told him anything nor asked him. I just hugged him tight. And we were silent.

Just me.. My husband... Our child sandwiched between us inside my tummy. Suddenly he pulled from the hug and went close to my tummy.

"Trust me.... Daddy will not let you suffer anything he did. He will give you a happy and delighted life inshaallah... I will not let any evil reach you... I love you... " with that he hugged my tummy and I hugged him rubbing his back.

"How was it? Is it still paining? " I asked about his wound brushing his bandaged head.

"No doll... I am perfectly fine.. Why are you up so early go to sleep I'll watch you.. " he told pulling me to his chest.

"I don't feel sleepy Ahad! I just wanted to use washroom." With that I got up and went to restroom.

I done my business, took bath and came out only to find my husband's smiling face with a tray in his hand.

"Baby you are not taking tea or coffee from today... It's not so good for your health you should eat healthy for you and our baby, here drink this juice. " I drank the juice he gave me also with some dry fruits.

I pecked his cheek and went out of the room for some fresh air in the garden but he followed me like a puppy.

"Where are you going? " he questioned me.

"To the garden... For some fresh air... " I told him smiling.

" Wait till I take bath... Then I will accompany you. " he went for his shower.

We were sitting on a stone bench in the garden by then my mom called me... We talked for almost half an hour. Ahad was just looking at me.

"Baby I'll be back in a minute. " with that he went inside after kissing my forehead.

"How are you feeling Zoya? " asked Ahad's mom with her sudden appearance.

"Alhamdhulillah ma I am fine... How are you? " I asked.

"Alhamdulillah... " she told me and a great aroma hit my nose.

"I thought you must me hungry and got you this... Veg cheese grilled sandwich... It's purely healthy and I made it dear... Have a bite I hope you'll like it. " she sat next to me.

I took the plate from her and it tastes awesome... Yum.....

"Mom... This tastes heaven..." I told her and she smiled. Before I could take another bite, the plate was snatched from my hand.

I looked at my furious husband, confused... What's with him?

"Are you trying to take her also away from me. What have you mixed in this. " he asked pulling me close to him.

I could feel my mother in law's shattering heart. Tears rolled down her eyes and she quickly went inside.

My heart ached for her. She was very exited and happy about her grand child... She took genuine care for me. But what have Ahad done?

He broke her heart.. I looked at him and I could see the guilt and regret boiling in his eyes...

I got up and stromed to our room. He came after few minutes with a tray of food... But I am not in the mood to have food or look at his face.

He didn't have the right to disrespect her. After all she is his own mother whatever happened we can't change that.. Why will she plan to ruin her own Son's life? And the fact is she accepted me a long time ago as the daughter in law of Khan's.

"Doll, get up and have food. " he told me.

"I am not hungry." I told him curtly.

"Don't take out your anger on food, it's not good.... You can fight with me later. " he sat beside me.

I didn't bother to reply him.

"You have to eat for the baby...." The moment he told that, my anger has no bounds.

"You want me to eat just for the sake of your baby... Not for me isn't it? OK I'll do it. After all it's my baby too. " with that I started to eat and stuffed my mouth with food rapidly.

"I... I didn't mean that... Zoya please listen to me. " he pleaded.

"Shcut uoop" I told him munching the food.

"Huh? " asked Ahad confused. I swallowed the food and told him "I said shut up." and glared at him.

Once I completed my food he forcefully dragged me to his lap and I struggled to get free.... His grip was tight enough to make me stay put.

"You know I didn't mean what I said... Please don't do this to me... You know your importance in my life... I love you... And my love for you have no bounds.. It's not I anymore... it's us. And I asked you to eat because we love our baby, we want our child to be healthy. Am I right? " within a moment I lost my temper and also lost in his eyes. My head found it's way to his chest and I hugged him.

Suddenly I didn't have any energy to give him a piece of mind for his earlier behavior and I felt damn sleepy. My eyelids grew heavy and a yawn escaped my mouth.

"Sleep dear, I'll watch you. " he laid on the bed along with me and pulled the comfortor over us.

___________

Days passed... I am into my second trimester actually. I couldn't ask for a better husband in my life. He takes care of me so well... From the day I came to his mansion... Sorry our mansion, he quit going to his office. Instead shifted his office home.

He deals with all his business in his office room and took the assistance of his PA Aayat... She was a cute pretty girl and looked more like Zara.. At times I enjoyed her company.

My daddy went to Haj along with Yusif uncle and Ahad insisted my mom to shift here. He wants her to look after me when he was busy with his work. But the fact is he works only the time I sleep.

I feel so pity for my husband... He became my everything, my day and night, my life and love. He was with me 24/7 and I still remember the tears in his eyes when we heard our baby's heartbeat for the first time during my cheakup.

I cannot sleep at night because of this pregnancy and my husband was always awake by my side comforting me. I sleep during the day and he used to work by that time. I feel so sorry for him I could see dark circles under his eyes.

He used to speak with our baby, as if it listens to him, make promises to our baby and that fact make me chuckle.

I was brought back from my trail of thoughts when someone took my legs in his lap.

"Ahad what are you doing? " I asked him and he frowned looking at my legs.

"Your legs are swollen. " he said massaging it and frowned deep.

"It's OK Ahad, I am fine, it's common during pregnancy. " I told him.

"Don't tell me you are not in pain. " I didn't respond for that... It did pained a lot. I just don't want to bother him, so tolerated it.

His massages were paradisaical and I enjoyed it. After sometime I told him " Ahad I am fine now. Don't burden yourself. "

"Do you think I'll take it as a burden Zoya... Never.... You are doing many things for me and my child... You changed your food habits, your sleep cycle changed, you have various aches in your body, you feel uncomfortable many times, yet you choose to keep it with you... The fact is everything is for my child, my blood and you think I'll take it as a burden love? " and at the end I had tears in my eyes.

I stretched my hands to him, he climbed up the bed and hugged me from behind because of my growing tummy.

He pecked my cheek and told me " Better you stay back home tomorrow... You can't attend the nikkha like this. "

I turned to him and gave him a deadly glare " What the hell did you say Mr. Ahad Yusif Khan." He seemed frightened with my sudden raise in voice.

Of course he will , once I kicked his ass and he fell down from our bed for not getting me apples instead of pizza at 2:00 am. The other day, I pushed him into the pool for not letting me swim. And the list goes on...

"I was just telling for your good baby... " he pleaded.

"No... You are asking me to miss my best friend's wedding. " and tears pooled in my eyes.

I don't know why I started to cry all on a sudden, I know... I am troubling him so much with my mood swings but I don't have control over my emotions.

He wants me to stay home and rest but how can I ? Tomorrow is Sano's wedding. Yes finally, she is getting married to Arhaan tomorrow. It's her big day.

My idiot friend asked me to take rest but I wanna spend my time with her, after all it's her mehindhi night. But she being my caring friend fired me out of her house. I am already sad about that fact and here Ahad didn't want me to attend her wedding.

"Zoya... Doll, I am sorry please don't cry... I'll take you to the wedding tomorrow. " he soothed me with his words but my tears didn't stop.

He bent to my baby bump and told "Please ask mummy to stop crying baby. " once he told that I got a jerk in my tummy for the first time. It was weird and I haven't felt it in my life.

I gave him an frightened look and he asked "What happened? "

I shook my head...

"Your mommy is being a cry baby these days." And I felt the jerk again.

My eyes were out of my sockets... Did my baby just kicked. Oh my Allah...

Pregnancy was a lovely period every mom spend with her child. And my baby is making every moment special for me.

"What happened Zoya? " he asked me concerned.

"It kicked... It.. It just kicked Ahad. " I told shaking him vigorously.

He looked dumbfounded, and asked me "What? "

I tried talking with the baby, keeping Ahad's hand on my stomach but we found nothing... Neither a kick nor a mere move. So it likes his father more than me. (Pout)

Then I smiled and told him "Speak... Just talk to the baby... Talk something idiot. "

He seemed astonished and kept his head on my baby bump "Baby... This is daddy! " and I felt it. The kick.... My baby's kick again my eyes started to water and also Ahad's but this time it's because of joy.

Then he kept talking to our baby and our baby responded kicking enthusiastically. Our room was filled with my giggles and his laughter...

This is what I want.... A peaceful and happy life... Alhamdhulillah..

After sometime our baby stopped kicking... It must be tired like it's mom. Yeah.. I feel sleepy too.

But Ahad being Ahad called our doctor to home "Why the baby didn't kick all on a sudden and stopped it's movements now.... Is everything OK... Is my wife and child safe and healthy? " he asked terrified.

"Cool... Mr. Khan, your wife and child were perfectly fine. Both of them are just exhausted.... Let her rest and give her lot of fruit juices she needs energy. " she told him and went after giving us some instructions.

This is one of the best day in my life.... The day I felt the first drop of life in me kick... My baby's kick. I dozed of to sleep feeling Ahad's lip on my forehead.

______________

It's said that the foetus will float in the amniotic fluid.. But if I say my baby floats in orange juice then that would not be an understatement.

I am into my final month and I have my due date nearly in 10 days... I can feel my baby all ready to see it's parents. I can't sleep all night due to it's ninja kicks... Of course it will... After all I know marshal arts so how will my baby didn't know to kick? The genes...

Sanoo... Went for her honeymoon with Arhaan... As they didn't have time for each other because of Arhaan's busy schedule. He wss growing in his own way quite promisingly, he started his own firm and it clicked well Alhamdhulillah.... Sano was definitely his lucky charm.

I enjoyed a lot in her wedding and in next few days I got my graduation. So now I am a graduate Alhamdhulillah. But I can't forget that day... I was the only one received my degree with a baby in my tummy. It was quite embarrassing but as far as for my baby... I can tolerate anything.

Yesterday Reshma visited us with her lovely baby boy Aariz he was so adorable. I played with him for a while and had a great time. His sweet smile and baby blabbering filled my room, soon I started to imagine how will my baby grow up?

Reshma was into depression after knowing the truth and real face of Rizwan not only her, we all didn't expected a beast in him. But he loved his kid... That was true Allah didn't gave him any chance to spend time with Aariz but he loved Aazir so much...

Reshma took Rizwan's business empire and she is running it quite well, sometimes she seeks help from Ahad but we are proud of her.

Her parents tried to remarry her but she said she loved only Rizwan and her love was enough for her to lead her life and now she is living for their baby... The adoration and affection I have for Reshma turned to respect and it increased 1000 folds.

Aariz might miss his father but he has got a great mother.

Now, all I am doing is waiting for my baby to enter this world inshaallah... Safe and sound.

I can't wait to hold his or her in my arms, I can't wait to be a mother, I can't wait to see Ahad as a father.
