...Samaira...

The rest of the week was zach free. Araa was gone for her honeymoon, and as I had some shows Jeena was with mom and Dad. It was quite late and I was still busy designing some dresses when the door bell rang. Lazily I got up and walked up to open the door.

As soon as I opened the door I saw Zach standing there with a huge bouquet of white lilies and a huge teddy bear.

I gave him a sick smile and slammed the door on his face. He kept on ringing the bell and I raised the volume of my TV.

"Samaira, listen to me." He shouted.

"Go away Zach."

"I am going nowhere, until and unless you hear me out."

"Fine,then be my guest."

Knowing Zach I knew he would be gone in the next 15 minutes. He has always been impatient.

I continued with my work and as I said the ringing of the bell stopped within 15 minutes. I so told you. Working, I dozed off on the table itself.

Next morning I woke up with a neck pain. Side effects of sleeping on the table.

I walked up to the door to fetch the milk and newspaper and I was shocked to see Zach sleeping there on the stairs. This was ironic. I wanted to wake him up softly but decided against it. I stamped on his leg and he stood up with a jolt.

"Now that you have got up, get lost."

And with that I stormed in.

Another day passed by but Zach was still sitting at the doorstep. Fortunately I had the whole floor to myself.

It was around nine when Florence, my make up artist and a great friend walked in. She had a spare key.

I was sitting on my table working.

"You know it is pretty weird that you guys enter my house according to your terms." I stated even without looking at her.

"You know what is weirder, there is a guy sitting outside with 5 bouquets and a laptop and a coffee mug." She stated. "Forget him and concentrate on work." I told her

You know what is weirdest, we didn't even discuss about Zach after that.

Later at night I got up and gave Florence a pullover since she had passed out on the sofa itself.

I swiftly walked to the door and opened it quietly. He was still there, sleeping at doorstep. The look made me smiles and my stomach jitter.

I walked up to him and adjusted his neck in such a way that could provide some sort of comfort and gave him a pullover too. I was about to walk in when I heard Zach say something. I knelt down to hear it clearly.

"I miss you Samaira." He said in his sleep.

This was it, whatever we had I couldn't be this inhumane to the only person I ever loved or loves. I stepped aside and called him out. He got up and took in the surrounding.

"Samaira, just listen to me."

"I will hear you out but not now , currently just walk in and sleep in the guest room. We'll talk in the morning."

He nodded in understanding and I walked him to the guest room. After that I walked back to my room and slept.

Next morning I woke up not because I wanted or had to but because someone opened the curtain.

I woke up with a yawn, and ZAch was there standing with two coffee mugs.

"So..?" He began.

"So can we talk a bit late like 3 hours." I completed.

"What about now." He started and gave me a mug I got up.

"Say." I gave a go ahead.

He told me everything, the circumstance and his condition s. He told me that he finally nabbed the black mailer. The laughing part is that he was supposedly my ex. That made me laugh.

"I know doing this was wrong. But at that moment everything that could save you was right for me. I know I left you alone, but you atleast had Jeena. I had no one, no one Samaira. And even today when I know I have a girl that loves me and a daughter I am still alone." I saw a tear roll down his cheek and I crawled towards him and hugged him tightly and he returned it with the same force.

At the same time Florence entered my room,

"Don't tell me you guys were making out, while I was in the hall." She shouted.

"Florence can you please go and freshen up."She left.

"And Zach don't you think you should leave." I said as I walked him to the door.

"What about a no."

"Go, Zach." I said as I pushed him outside the door. I smiled and walked in back when there was a knock at the door and Zach entered again.

I turned around,

"So you forgave me?"

"Yes."

"So we are friends now?"

"Yes."

"So Jeena is my daughter right."

"Yes Zach."

"So you LOVE me,Right?"

"Yes,Yes,Yes, Zach."

I said and I was about to deny it when Zach's laugh stopped me from doing it and he closed the door and ran away before I could kill him.
