Uddhav's POV,
The wait was nerve-racking. Minutes passed by unbearably slow as I waited for my sweetheart. Trying to calm my raging heart, I took deep breaths.

How will she react when she sees me?
Will she be afraid?
Will she hate me?
Will she accept me?
What should I say when I first see her?
Should I beg in her feet for forgiveness?
Should I tell her how much I love her?

I was losing my mind. I couldn't wait to see her again but at the same time I was afraid to face her.
What I'd done is unforgivable! Yet... I have hope in our love.

We were meeting in the same place where we made lots of memories. The same old hotel room where we always sneaked into and....

The door opened and closed as I stood up from the bed shaking with nervousness. I took a deep breath to calm myself as I heard her slow steps getting closer. I didn't dare move.... I didn't dare breath and.....there she was...right in front of me.

Beautiful as a dream, wearing the same green salwar suit I bought for her. Unspoken feelings were shared as our eyes met bringing tears in them.
God knows how long we stayed just like that as if time had just stopped for us.

"G.... Geeta!" I breathed as a drop of tear slipped it's way down my cheek.

"Please.... forgive m...."

Suddenly she just ran to me and threw her arms around me holding me tight as she cried into my chest.

I held her tight finding my breath again as I let my tears in the crook of her neck. I had found my haven again.

"I'm soo sorry.... please.... please forgive me. Geeta... I'm your sinner. I hurted you... I was wrong.... I'm soo sorry my darling. You were going through soo much and I let you suffer. I couldn't protect you.....I couldn't keep my promise to you... I failed you. please...."

"No.... I'm sorry. I.... I should've told you....trusted you... please forgive me Uddhav.... I love you soo much."

She lifted her head and I wiped her tears as she wiped mine....our hearts beating as one. A hearty smile cracked through the tears on both our faces and I kissed her forehead.

"I love you soo much more my Geeta!"

She nodded
"Yes....and we were waiting for you."

I frowned confused.
"We?"

She chuckled softly getting out of my arms and taking my hand in hers, placed it on her abdomen.

She looked into my eyes with a glint of anticipation.
"We!" She said.

My heart skipped as realisation hit me.

"G... Geeta? You....me...are you...." My words and thoughts were all over the place as I watched her questioningly. This overwhelming feeling...it was happy and melancholic at the same time.

She nodded with fresh tears in her eyes and a beautiful smile and my own face split into a grin and tears off joy bursted out.

"We're having a baby? Our baby? I'm going to be a father.... you....you'll....be the m...mother of my child...my own family?!"

She giggled at my childish excitement. I desperately cupped her face looking in her eyes.

"I... it's really true right?"

"Yes! I'm pregnant!"

I laughed madly lifting her up and spinning her around as the room filled with the musical voice of her giggles.

"Oh thank you....thank you.... thankyou Geeta! I love you I love you I love you!!!!"

"Slow down Uddhav I'm dizzy!"

"Oh..s.. sorry." I immediately stopped placing her down anxiously.

"Are you ok? Are you hurt? Is the baby ok? Does your head hurt? Do you..."

She silenced me with a kiss stopping my chain of questions.

"I'm ok my darling.... I've never been better." She giggled.

I grinned rubbing my nape embarrassed.

Swooping down on my knees I lifted her top up feeling for her slightly prominent bump and kissed over it.
"Daddy's waiting for you jr Uddhav or jr Geeta. Come out soon. I love you."

I looked up at the mother of my child who's cheeks were flushed red. Oh how missed it and I couldn't resist showering my love on them....

"Let's get married." She said catching me off-guard. Then before I could say anything she went to her purse pulling out a small box.

"This time.... I got you a ring." She said shyly opening the box in front of me.
"It's just a silver ring which I bought by selling clothes online. It's not much but...."

I hugged her overwhelmed with joy.
"It's everything Geeta! It's perfect! Thankyou! And I can't wait to make you my bride...my wife...the mother of my child....and many more children!
Oh I love you soo much...."

"I love you too my Uddhav!"

****
Inarah's POV,
After spending the night at Heenu's place and her mother feeding me an entire week's worth of yummy food in just one dinner, breakfast and lunch I decided to return back to the villa and wait for my hubby. I still couldn't contact him. Seriously! How many meetings does he have that he couldn't even reply to a single text?!
He could atleast send a Hi!

Ugh! He's soo going to have it from me when he gets back!

The driver was about to pick me up as Heenu came out to drop me. She insisted I let her driver drop me but I knew I needed bodyguards to take me home. Meaning the obnoxious twitches.

But to my surprise, it was Asad who came to pick me in his Buggati chevron. Um...why is he showing off BTW?

I love that car of his and by the looks of it, Heena was digging it too.

"Hey beautiful! Need a ride back home?" He said stepping out. Gotta admit, in that attire, he kinda looked hot. Not as hot as my Zayaan ofcourse! If he was wearing that, he would've broken the thermometer with his hotness.

Ugh! I miss my hubby!!!

"Ah! The gorgeous doll is here too." He smirked at Heena. Maybe I imagined it but her cheeks turned a slight shade of red as her eyes fixed on him.

Don't tell me! Heena Khan was impressed by....this nincompoop?!

I kept shifting my eyes from him to her to him. They both were just staring at eachother. Ugh! It's scary!

"Yo!" I snapped my finger and they both flinched.
"The VIP's right here!" I pointed me.

"VIP?"
They both said in unison with the same raised eyebrow expression giving me the chills.

"Oookaaay. Awkward~~~"

"Um...cool car BTW!" Heenu said casually.

He smirked.
"I was hoping you like it. I'll take you on a long romantic drive in it whenever you want." He winked.

"Okay! Enough flirting playboy!" I said and he grinned shamelessly.

"In your dreams!" Heena snapped and I took a breath of relief. For a second I thought I had lost my sassy queen.

"Bye babe. Take care." She hugged me and went back inside scowled at Asad as he winked at her.

I rolled my eyes. This guy would never change....or maybe... he's really interested in her.

Oh who cares! Even if he is....he has to get over it or else.... I'll make him. There's no way I'll let my Sis be with a perverted flirty playboy like him.

"So...this is where she lives huh?" He smirked. Looking around the mansion.
"Nice!"

"Of course it his. Her dad got it designed by an architect from Italy!"

He raised his eyebrows looking impressed.
"Rich people and thier luxuries!" He sighed. He then looked in the direction of Heena's bedroom balcony.
"That must be her room?"

My jaw dropped.
"How did you know?"

He smirked looking at me.
"Just a wild guess!" He shrugged and again looked up there as a momentary sinister smile came on his lips.

"Let's go! It's getting late."

"Hm...oh hey! Can I drive?" I asked excitedly looking at the beauty.

"No!" He said sternly opening the door and pushing my head down not soo gently inside the car.
I pouted.
"How petty!" I murmured.

"I heard that~"

I huffed and he chuckled as he drove us away.

****
I sat on the swing looking up in the sky that hardly had any stars tonight. I smiled.
'Papa, can you see? You're Princess is soo happy with her Prince you choose for her. I know, you wanted to see us together, right? Well, he's not sitting here next to me right now but... he's with me all the time. He's my King and I'm his Queen now. I miss you Papa. I hope you could be with us right now.'

I squealed flinching as something hot touched my cheek. I looked up in the direction scowling as I found Asad leaning on the bars of the swing with 2 steaming mugs in his hands.

"Hot chocolate?"

I shook my head smiling accepting a cup as he took a seat beside me.

"There's nothing in the sky today. What are you looking at? A blackhole?" He said sipping his cup.

"No. Look closely, you'll find starts twinkling and if you wait for a while, the clouds would move showing the full moon momentarily. There's always something bright hidden behind the dark clouds. You just have to be patient and let it slide." I said picking up the tiny marshmallow and putting it in my mouth.

He smiled.
"You have an old habit of finding the light behind the darkness."

"Huh? Meaning?" I asked confused looking at him.

He shook his head flicking my forehead with his fingers.

"Ow! That hurts you idiot!" I scowled as he chuckled then I laughed too.

"Do you remember the first time we met?" I asked him

"Hm." He looked up in the sky.
"There were many more stars in the sky that night though."

Flashback
Asad jumped down through the wall only to land on the soft grass beneath his feet. He was curious to know what kind of luxuries his so called brother who betrayed him was enjoying without them.

As he straightened himself up, his eyes and jaw opened wide and he almost fell back down seeing the grandeur. It was as if he was standing in heaven. The bright lights were blinding as if there wasn't any night in this place. He kept walking with his mouth open feeling the soft grass beneath his bare feet.

Suddenly, his eyes landed on Zayaan who was peacefully sleeping on the grass with a large doll in his chest. No wait, it was a little girl.

Chutki?

No...no! Her frock was just like that of a doll's and her black wavy hair too that fell on Zayaan's arm. As he went closer, he gasped to see, her skin soo white as if it was glowing. He curiously tiptoed around them to see the doll's face. He observed her for a long while. Her lips were plump and pink, button like cute little nose and she was snoring softly.

His attention got back on his brother. He too was wearing such good clothes and sleeping soo comfortably. Seeing that got soo angry, that he kicked his butt.

Zayaan moaned and stirred sleepily, turned away from him holding tight onto his doll. He kicked him again harder this time.

"Uth saale. Tera baap aaya!" {Wake up you jerk. You're father's here!}

Zayaan scrunched his eyes turning his head towards him and in an instant his grogginess flew away in shock.

"Asad?!" He jerked.

Asad scowled at him and was about to speak but the doll in his arms whimpered and soon was crying with her eyes still closed as her slumber was disturbed.

"She's real?" He mumbled.

Zayaan covered her mouth panicking.
"Shh ....shhh... Inarah.... it's ok... it's ok...shhh."

He couldn't let Asad be caught trespassing.

She opened her big golden eyes staring straight up at Asad as he watched her frozen in place.
She grabbed onto Zayaan afraid of him.

"It's ok... he's my friend... he's my brother." Zayaan told her softly as he carassed her hair holding her tight like he would do to thier Chutki.

She looked up at Zayaan who.... smiled? Zayaan could smile? That was something Asad hadn't seen in soo long.

"Friend?" She said rubbing her eyes groggily.

"Like Heena is your friend, he's mine." Zayaan explained her.

She got up from his arms and walking towards Asad who slowly stepped back gaping at her as if she was an alien.

"D.. don't come near me!"

She paid no heed to him and immediately wrapped her tiny arms around him.
"Zayaan's friend is my friend."

He looked at Zayaan confused and scared who just smiled.
"She likes to hug."

"O...ok....ok. Get back now. Shoo shoo!"

She looked up at him pouting.
"Is Inarah a bird? Don't shoo shoo."

He blinked at her unknowingly smiling at her cuteness. She was just like Chutki.

They all then sat together watching the stars filled sky above as she sat on Zayaan's lap.

He looked at her scowling.

"Leave him! He's my brother. I'm taking him back with me."

She pouted angrily at him hugging Zayaan closer.
"No! He's Inarah's!"

"No! He's mine!" Asad retorted as Zayaan looked at both of them helplessly.

Abruptly, she licked Zayaan's cheek as both the boys watched her shocked.
"I licked him, so he's mine."

Hearing that Asad fell down rolling on the grass laughing hysterically for the first time in years while Zayaan was flustered red.

She took out a small chocolate bar from the little pocket of her frock and held it in front of Asad.
"You're a good boy so Inarah is giving you her favourite chocolate, because Inarah loves Zayaan more. Take this and please don't take Zayaan and, please be Inarah's friend too?" She said cutely.

He looked at Zayaan's flustered face sitting up recovering from his laughing fit. Something told him...

This girl wasn't like Chutki to him...

****
"You really were hopelessly in love with him back then too." Asad chuckled.

I giggled blushing.
"Maybe."

"Those were good times!" He sighed throwing his head back and spread his thighs wide sitting as if he was all alone.

I slapped his arm.
"Sit like a gentleman you idiot! You're in the presence of a married woman!"

He tilted his head smirking at me.
"Ohh. Wanna sit on my lap? Your dear husband isn't here to see." He winked patting his lap.

I kicked him.
"Pervert!"

He chuckled.

That reminded me! I took a deep breath not sure if I should even ask it.

"Um...hey Asad."

"Yep!"

"That day of our mission....who were the men with you? As much as I know, they clearly weren't from the gang. Because, in this 6 months I know atleast the faces of all the gang members."

His smile vanished and he took a sip.
"Those were my boys. Under my comand. I pay them and they only obey me."

"Only you?" I didn't like the sound of it. Anxiety grew in me.

"Asad....by any chance....no no it's not possible but....will you ever try to betray my Zayaan?" I laughed saying it as a joke but he looked serious and I gulped.

"Who knows? The possibility is plausible."

I blinked at him intimidated by his words.
He half smiled patting my head.

"You don't have to worry about that for now beautiful."

"Call me bhabhi!" I said sternly.

"Nope!" He said popping the 'p' I frowned.

He then got up smirking at someone behind us and when I turned, it was one of the twins. As if she was listening to our conversation.

The air was filled with a weird vibe!

"BTW, your darling is on his way back. He'll be here within an hour or soo."

All the worries went flying out of my head as he said that.

"Zayaan is coming!" I jumped excitedly.

He chuckled.
"Look at you hopping like a rabbit. You're one love sick idiot."

I didn't bother his comment. I was just soo happy and without a word I just ran to the room to dress up prettily to welcome back my Love.

But I didn't realise at that moment, just how short lived my happiness was about to be....

Asad's POV,
I jumped in through the boundary wall of the Khan mansion. Geez, the security here can use a lot of help. Even a petty thief can easily get in here thanks to the lousy security.

I looked up at my left to the balcony of her bedroom where the light was still on.
'hmm. What are you doing soo late up doll? Were you perhaps waiting for me? I'm here now!'

Heena's POV,

I came out of the washroom after a quick warm shower wearing my bathrobe. I was about to enter my closet to get my night clothes but I froze in place at what I saw in front of me. A short scream escaping my lips which I stopped by covering my mouth.

It was that pervert Asad laying on my bed with his head propped up on his elbow as he stared at me with that smug. It was 1am right now.

"What the hell are you doing in my room you perverted freak?" I grunted completely freaked out, trying to keep my voice low. The last thing I want is for people to barge in here and get the wrong idea.

His smirk grew.
"What do you think a man does sneaking in the middle of the night into a gorgeous woman's bedroom?"

"Begging for a death sentence maybe?" I snapped through grunted teeth.

"Aapki katilana adao se toh hum yu hi mar jayenge."

I rolled my eyes.

"Uff!"

"Just get out of my house Asad!" I tried to be calm.

"Or else?" He challenged getting off the bed and getting closer to me. I was unconsciously stepping back as his chocolate orbs shackled my grey ones.

Why does he has such effect on me?!

"J...just get out please..." This time it was a request.

He smiled bringing his hand forward and picked a strand of my hair, rubbed it between his fingers moving his hand dangerously close to my skin but never touching it.

My breath hitched in my throat as he came closer to smell my hair. For some reason, my heart was pounding.

"I want to stay with you all night doing.....naughty things though." He said in a low deep husky voice.

I gulped swinging behind him. He chortled turning to me.

"But I don't want to. So respect a lady's decision and go away please."

"But didn't you call me a dirty gangster before? How can someone like me respect a lady?" He cooed and kept walking towards me again as now I was almost about to get a mini heartattack.

"You're a dick!"

He smirked.
"Ah, already curious to see?" He teased.

"Oh please! Who would want to see something that?! I bet it's soo tiny I'll need a magnifying glass to see it." I snapped.

He raised an eyebrow.
"You really wanna bet on it?"

I kept stepping back with wobbly knees and eventually, my calves bumped to the bed and I fell back on it and my eyes widened, my voice caught up in my throat as he hovered over me.

"How beautiful!" He breathed.

"Asad... please...."

I felt my eyes prick but I couldn't cry... I couldn't show him I was scared.

However, there was something odd about him. I recognise a fuckboy when I see one, but when I look at him.... I don't get that vibe.
And it's been almost 10 mins since we are in such a compromising position yet, he hasn't made a move. If he was something like that, by now he should've ripped off my robe and....done things to me. Yet, he's just gazing at me.

There was only one way to find out.

I kept a hand on his chest. Ah ha! It was racing! And his smug vanished too.
I smirked at his reaction and pushed him back on the bed stradling on top of him.

"Whoa!" He gaped at me wide eyed and OMG his heart raced even more.

This is interesting!

"You wanna do naughty things with me huh? Go on pretty boy. You do realise I'm bare behind this robe!" I said in a slow seductive voice sliding the robe off my shoulder a tad bit.

His face changed turning nervous and.... intimidated as he gulped. I'd never seen such a vulnerable expression on his face.

This is gold!

"I uh ..haha... I was just messing with you doll. Fine then, I'll leave now."

He tried to get up but I pushed him down again.
"What's wrong? Big guy couldn't handle the heat?" I smirked moving my finger sensually on his chest.

His chest was rising and falling rapidly as he had clearly lost his voice.

"Get off me doll.... Heena...." His face turning red. His voice was hoarse.

I giggled getting close to him as he was literally sweating.

"You're a virgin aren't ya?" I whispered and his eyes got wide.

"Seriously?" That was a shocker.

"N..no." he tried to lie but his eyes said otherwise.

I couldn't help it and I bursted out laughing.

"Th...the ever famous casanova.... Asad Abbas is...a ch...cherry boy?!" I managed to say between my laughs as I got off of him.

Strangely enough, I felt relieved knowing that.

"Stop laughing ok?! I've done....other things." He said sitting up and avoiding my gaze embarrassed.

"Oh yeah? Like what? Tell me, I'm curious?" I asked amused leaning closer to him giggling as he leaned back gulping.

OMG! He's soo cute right now. I couldn't help but pull his leg even more.

"Heena! I'm warning you!" He said a bit annoyed.

"Ok cherry boy!" I tried to be serious but I was again stuck in a laughing fit.

Suddenly, he just grabbed my shoulders and pushed me down on the bed hovering over me as a squeal escaped my lips and my giggles stifled.

I just gaped at him wide eyed as he gaped at me, both equally shocked.

His eyes.....are really beautiful. So are his lips....are his jawline soo...sharp. His hair looks soo soft. I wonder how they feel?

Unknowingly, my fingers were inching forward towards his hair as his breath fanned over my face.

That's when....
"Heena... is everything ok beta?"

It was Mom! Shit! I haven't locked the door.
I immediately threw off Asad from top of me as he fell on the floor with a loud thud groaning and I ejected off the bed on my feet rushing towards the door as it opened revealing my sleepy looking sweet mother.

"Yes mommy?" I acted cute

She carassed my face.
"You ok my baby? You look anxious. Is someone inside with you?"

I faked laughed blocking her view as she peeped in.
"Of course not mom. Are you kidding me? How can there be someone? Even Inu left last evening. It must be the speakers. I felt like some late night aerobics. It read it in a magazine.... it's really good for your curves." I blabbed panicking.

"Oh, throw away such stupid magazines! Staying up soo late is bad for your skin. If you're having trouble sleeping I'll make some Chamomile tea for you." She said like a caring mom.

"No no Mom.... infact I'm really sleepy right now. See." I yawned.

"Oh mom. You look soo sleepy too and...." I gasped dramatically. "Are those dark circles I see?....and oh God! Wrinkles?!"

She gasped too.
"Oh no! Really?" She said anxiously touching her face.

To be honest, my mother is the sweetest but she's really conscious about her beauty. And most of the times she tries to compete with Nagma aunty's out of the world beauty.
Idk why?!
My mom's so beautiful already. I'm the proof.

"Mom. You need sleep. Off you go now. Goodnight."
I kissed her cheek closing the door.

Phew! I patted my thumping heart.

Not for the root of the problem.

I turned back but.... Asad had disappeared. I looked around and rushed to the balcony as I heard a loud noise.

He had already escaped? How?! When?!

He turned to me waving with a goofy grin as I panicked gesturing him to leave.
Mom was on her way downstairs. What if she saw him?

What a crazy guy!

I shook my head. Why was I smiling?
