Everything happens for a reason. I will surely get everything back, what I lost.

With this thought I wake up every morning. My legs hitting the cold tiled floor. I wrapped the comforter around myself as I walked towards the washroom. Removing the comforter, I stepped inside the washroom, drenching myself in a hot shower.

Nothing has changed, nothing can be changed. After that night, I haven't seen or heard from that grey eyed Fawad. Don't have any idea about who he was or from where he came. But I'll always be thankful to him for saving my life that night. I still shudder at the thought of that treachrous night.

After cleaning myself properly, I stepped out of the shower wrapping a towel around my body. Clearing the mirror with my hand, I looked at myself. I haven't changed much during these six months. A little dark circle is formed underneath my eyes, my cheeks have sunken a bit while my lips are still pink.

There haven't been a single night, where I haven't cried to bed. There hasn't been a second also where he wasn't present in my mind. I did changed my home, not the city. I just went downtown. I do talk to Mom and Maha, Aapu, sometimes with Dad too. They really do care for me.

Everyday Mom asked the same thing that when are you going to return? Where are you staying? And everyday I reply the same that soon I'll be back. Mom often says that Fawad has changed alot. He doesn't talk much nor does he sit with them. He even takes his meal in his room. Whenever they take out my topic he either leaves or unecessary starts shouting.

No matter how much I hide but it does hurt. And no, it's not his fault, it's my fault. I stole the money. I did. I hope that one day Fawad forgives me. Life doesn't seem same like it was when we were together. Yes, we did have problems in between us but who doesn't have? Marriage isn't a piece of cake.

My throat suddenly got tightened as tears felled down from my eyes, bile rising in my throat as I vomitted my heart out. The doctor had said that it's normal to have morning sickness but some have less and some have more, it depends. Thoroughly cleaned my mouth, before wiping it. Placing my hand on my very well visible bump now, I smiled.

Who said Fawad isn't with me?

It's been seven months now. Seven months of my pregnancy.

Month after I left his house, I started feeling weak and worn out. Almost everytime I use to feel dizzy or half of the time I dozed off!! Atiqa was the first one who told me to take a strip test and it came out positive. I was on cloud nine when I saw the result and immediately wanted to send the pic to him, but then reality hit me like a truck.

Does he gonna believe me? Will he trust me that it's his baby? To avoid unecessary tension in my life, I didn't told him. I hide it from him and from everyone else. Only my bffs know about this. They were the one's who always accompany me whenever I have appointment or tests to be done.

I know he'll be more hurt when he'll get to know about this. I can't even imagine what would be his reaction, his anger would take over him. But all these reactions will only take place when he'll believe me that it's our baby.

After thinking of every pro's and con's I decided to hide that I'm pregnant until he finds out the truth and ready to believe me. Otherwise, if I can come this far alone, I can raise my child alone too.

A shiver ran down my spine snapping me out of my thought. I went out of the washroom and wore a white loose maxi dress with bell sleeves. For hijab I choose to wear pink today. I glanced at the clock, I still had some time so I prepared myselfna cup of coffee with toast and omlette. Hate to eat alone but don't have any other choice.

After filling my stomach, I gathered all my belongings and waited for Zaina to pick me up. Acter waiting for fifteen minutes, she finally came.

"Good Morning" she greeted me.

"Bad Morning, you're late again!!" I scolded her.

"You know it's too difficult to wake up in the morning and that too on Monday" she said yawning.

"But you do know na, that we mainly have customers on Monday" I said.

"Yes, because they can't also open their eyes properly on Monday." She snorted.

"It's an utter wastage of time in talking with you."

"But still you can't live without me, my mother of the army!!" She winked.

"I'm pregnant with only one child" I hissed.

"But still you look big, Masha Allah." She hugged me, I hugged her back.

"Aunt Anna, is gonna be so angry with us" I said sitting behind her in her scooty.

"She's not gonna be angry with you." She replied, I huffed.

It's been almost four and half month since I've joined Aunt Anna's cafe. I work their as a cashier. She's such a sweet lady and her husband Uncle John is a very humble man. They don't know anything about me and Fawad except the fact that we had a little misunderstanding.

To be honest Aunt Anna is very supportive. She always treat me like I'm her own daughter especially nowadays. Zaina quickly parked her scooty nd then we walked together inside the cafe.

"Good Morning" I greeted Aunt Anna with a huge smile. She hugged me and even kissed my cheek. "Good Morning to you too, sweety. How are you? How was the weekend? How's your morning sickness?" She asked all at once.

"Relax Aunt Anna, I'm super fine." I said making her sit down.

"I can't relax until the day I hold your baby in my arms." She said cupping my cheeks.

"How are you so sure that she's gonna deliever in the day only? Why can't it be night?" Zaina said tying her apron.

"You Miss.World, I've not forgotten that you're again late!!" Aunt Anna said standing up and just like that they both started off like every Monday. It's a ritual for them to bicker on every Monday. There are total five staffs including Zaina working in this cafe apart from me.

After keeping aside all my belongings, I sat down in my chair, starting the day off with the first customer.

It must be around mid noon, when my cell buzzed. Mami was calling me. I smiled.

"Assalamualaikum" I said and picked up.

"Walekumasalam, how are you doing?" She asked.

"I'm good and how are you all?" I asked preparing the bill for a customer.

"All good, how's your health?"

"Allahamdulilah but the back pain is increasing everyday." I said.

"It's only a matter of two months."

"It looks like two years to me" I chuckled.

"How will everything work, Seher? You are giving me too much tension." She said.

"Why are you taking tension? You don't have to. I'll manage everything and when the time is right, I'll even tell Fawad about it." I assured her.

"I know you're saying this just to calm me" Mami said. I laughed.

"You're just overthinking!!"

"This isn't called overthinking, it's called right thinking." She said.

"Okay fine, you win. Will talk to you later now." I said hanging up.

"Seher" Aunt Anna called.

"Yes?"

"This fellow hasn't paid his last bill" She growled.

"I know, I have it in my records." I said. "Hundred dollars" I said.

"No way, that's too much." He said.

"Sir, we have the record over here." I said turning the Monitor towards him.

"You are lying, I didn't ordered half of the items." He yelled

"Excuse Me, Sir, this isn't way to talk. I'm talking to you politely but just look at your tone!!" I replied.

"Girl, you're lying" he again yelled.

"We have the proof Mr." I said.

"I don't believe your records" he smirked

"Fine, will you believe the CCTV footage?" It was my turn to smirk now. He was shocked. I opened the footage of that day and showed it to him, then showed the prices of the items, did a total and showed him the result. "Hundred dollars, Sir."

Reluctanly he gave the amount and left. I took a deep breath and sat down.

"Girl, he was just too much!!" Zaina said.

"Don't give a damn!! He paid the exact amount, that's what it matters the most." I said yawning.

"Relax for a while." She said.

"Yeah." I smiled.

And soon the the day was over. I packed all my stuff and kept aside, only ten minutes, then I'll be free. I was muching on my sandwhich when the bell rang, indidcating a customer.

"Excuse Me, is the cafe open?"

My heart stopped beating.
