"Excuse Me, Is the Cafe open?"

These six letters stole my heart once again. I forgot to blink again. My brain just couldn't take the information that was being sent. I was frozen to my seat. Neither I could hear anything nor I could see anything except him.

If it wouldn't have been for Zaina, I would have falled from my seat. Yes, he has this much effect on me.

"Yeah, the Cafe is open." Zaina replied to him, holding me by my arms. He didn't said anything just kept his stare focused on me. "You Alright?" She asked, I nodded.

"I told you to go back and take rest, but no, you won't listen to me" Aunt Anna came to me, shouting. I smiled.

"I'm fine" I said. "We have a customer" I said gesturing towards him.

"I'll go and take the order." Zaina said. I nodded. After making sure that I was perfectly alright Aunt Anna went back to her work, leaving me alone.

Before Zaina, could even come and say what he and his colleagues have ordered, I already wrote down his order.

"How come you know that one of those handsome hunks is gonna order this only" She raised her eyebrows looking at the computer screen.

"He's Fawad" I said slowly.

"Whaaaaattttttt" I quickly stepped on her foot she that she could keep her big mouth shut. I glared at her. "This was totally not necessary" she said hissing.

"Then you should know how to control your tongue." I muttered.

"He is really Fawad? I mean your Fawad? Your husband?" She kept on asking silly questions.

"For all your stupid questions, my answer is Yes." I said looking down.

"O.M.G.!!!" She started clapping and jumping. I groaned. Why did I told her?

"Zaina" I shouted earning a stare from him and his colleagues. I quickly looked down.

"You are pregnant but my hormones are going crazy!! Woman you should just go and jump on him" she said wiggling her eyebrows. I rolled my eyes.

"I'm Pregnant. I can't jump at this stage." I said.

"Ohh..but he don't know that you're pregnant, you should tell him and in any way, he's gonna see your bump!!" Her words were like an Ice cold bucket of water on me.

Fawad would come to know about Pregnancy. Now I was damn scared.

"Hey, don't need to worry about anything." Zaina said patting my shoulder. I nodded my head. She left my table and went to arrange the tray for them.

I looked up to find him looking at me.

Why did you have to return so suddenly Fawad?
I'm not prepared to answer any of your questions.

As always he was looking handsome in his grey suit. His hair was brushed sideways. He do have lost weight and the dark circles beneath his eyes was very much evident.

Why aren't you taking your meals on time Fawad? I wanted to ask him.

Few customers started coming and somehow my mind got diverted from him, for which I was very much thankful to those customers. Zaina has already served their orders, while I decided to pack everything up.

Just when I thought that everything's gonna be alright and I'll escape without being noticed, my life decided to take a U turn.

"Seher?"

I turned and my eyes grew wide for the second time. Great!! This day couldn't have been more better. Automatically, I stood up from my chair.

"Fawad?" I spoke. Yup, grey eyed Fawad was also here.

"Hey..how are you?" He asked coming forward. He was smiling.

"I'm fine and you?" I said coming out from my little space and standing in front of him.

"Good. Woah!!! You're pregnant" he commented making me blush. I didn't know what to say so I just gave him a shy smile. "You are taking care of yourself, right?"

"Yeah. How come you here?" I asked.

"I was just driving, when I saw you" he said smiling. I gave him a confused look.

"From where?"

"There" he said showing me a little glass wall.

"Ohh...!!" I slapped my forehead, laughing.

"You were so engrossed in your work" he said.

"We are about to close, so just the last minute things." I smiled.

"From when did you start working here?" He enquired

"And I thought that you know everything about me?" I raised my eyebrows.

"Smart huh!!" He chuckled. "Yes, I do know everything, but somethings are left to be said by the person itself" he replied

"Manipulative much!!"

He laughed loudly. "God, Seher, you're just something else!!"

"As far as I know I'm still a human being" I said. Zaina and Aunt Anna did missed a chance to meet the grey eyed Fawad. They even thanked him on my behalf for that night. I must say that this Fawad has a way to charm others, especially girls. But my Fawad is precious, reserved only for me.

Amidst our little talk, I didn't noticed that when Fawad came and stood beside me. It was then when I felt an arm wrapped around my waist. Immediately my whole body was filled with heat. I tried looking up, but I failed.

"Fawad Sheikh" he said extending his hand.

"Fawad Sayeed" that grey eyed said.

"She's my wife, Seher Fawad Sheikh." He said.

"I know" Fawad laughed a little. "Seher, I'll get going now, hope to see you soon again."

"Take care" I said

"You too, especially during these days." With that he left.

Before Fawad could say anything to me, Aunt Anna called me. I breathed a sigh of relief and almost ran to her. After finishing everything, I was finally free to go to home. Zaina had some work so she was extremely sorry that she wouldn't be able to drop me.

When you need a cab you won't get one and when you won't need you'll get ten at a time!! Don't know if it happens with me only or with everyone else too??

I kept on walking straight when I heard a car stopping beside me. I stopped to look and it was Fawad's car. He opened the window of the passenger side. "Come inside"

"No, thank you."

"I said come inside"

"And I said No"

"You don't want me to hold you and make you sit inside, do you?" He asked.

"Fawad, why can't you just go?"

"I will but after dropping you"

"I can go alone"

"I know"

"Then?"

"You're still coming with me" he argued. I didn't wanted to create anymore scene as it is few people on the roads were giving us looks. I huffed and sat inside.

I gave him my new adress and for a change he didn't asked me any question. The whole ride was silent. He stopped the car in front of my building.

"Coffee?" I don't know why I asked him. He didn't said anything just got out of the car. I also got out of the car and he was already inside my building. I sighed.

"Just make yourself comfortable, I need to change" I said. He didn't said anything, just took out his coat, opened his top button, loosened his tie. Without saying anything, I went to my room.

If I won't pee now, I will definitely embarrass myself. I quickly got fresehen up and changed myself into a loose maxi dress. I always wear a pyjama with a loose tee, but it would definitely pop out my bump more than it already is. I didn't bothered to wear hijab just made a messy bun and went out.

I quickly made two cup of coffee and some snacks to go with it. He was lying on the sofa, with his eyes closed, hands resting behind his head. Ever so quietly, I placed the tray on the centre table. I sat down on the floor and stared at him.

It hurts so much to see him like this. He has changed so much.

I ran my fingers through his hair. He didn't opened his eyes, but his shoulders relaxed.

"How are you Fawad?" I whispered

"How do you expect me to be?" He questioned me.

"Why are you not taking care of yourself?"

"Not getting time to" he replied back.

"Fawad, don't block everyone out from your life."

"Just want to live alone"

"And what about them who loves you, cares for you?"

"Do you still love me, Seher?" He asked looking at me.

"Nobody taught me how to stop loving you" I said looking down.

"Is this our baby?" He asked cupping my cheeks. I didn't said anything, just nodded my head. He took a deep breath. "Why Seher? Why did you hide this from me?" He asked getting up.

"Life goes on Fawad, things weren't good when we parted. You moved on, I moved on. You were happy with your life." I said giving him his coffee.

"And what about you? Were you happy with your life?" He asked

"Does it matter Fawad? When I was there with you, you didn't care and when I wasn't there with you, you still didn't care!!" I said sitting on one of the sofa.

"Who was that guy with whom you were talking?" He asked.

"I don't know anything about him. All I know is that you and him share the same name. He's an angel for me." I said taking a sip of my coffee.

"What do you mean by that?" He asked.

"Forget it. You say?"

"You are coming with me" he said standing up.

"What?"

"Right Now"

"I am not!!" I said firmly.

"I'm not giving you option, Seher" he said.

"And I'm not gonna take your orders, Fawad" I said crossing my hand over my chest.

"Seher..."

"What Seher? Have you forgotten that I'm the one who stole those money? You wanted me to send me to jail and now you want me to come with you? Why Fawad? In all these seven months, not once also you tried contacting me and now you pretend to care?" I asked.

"You are pregnant, Seher."

"Now I see!!"

"Seher, it's not what you are thinking."

"Fawad please leave." I said.

"Seher, listen to me."

"I've listened enough for today. If I can live alone then I can also deliver a baby alone too."

"A child needs a father too" he raised his voice.

"Then where were you when I saw my baby for the first time? You weren't there with us, Fawad" I said.

"Because you the hid the fact from me" he yelled.

"You forced me to hide it from you!!"

"If you wouldn't have stolen the money, all this wouldn't have happened!!"

"Really Fawad? Me stealing the money is the only problem? As far as I know, I decided to go to my mom's place way before I stole the money. It was because of your behavior!!" I yelled back at him.

Before he could say anything, I ran towards the washroom, bile rising in my throat. After vomitting my heart out, I cleaned my mouth and face, stepping outside the washroom, I was met with emptiness.

He was gone.
