Chapter 15.

---------------

Asim.

It has been a month to my marriage and Zoya moving here. Everything is coming back to normal, but slowly. I don't want to push her for anything. I want her normal if it is slow, then I don't mind. I will wait for her when she is normal and ready to live her life again. In a month Mom and Zoya got close and Mom take care of Zoya like a daughter. She refused to let her do any work. While I was in office Mom making sure to take care of her and if she need anything she will get it. I don't want her to keep quiet if she wants something. I want her to tell me what she wants if even it is in the middle of the night I don't mind. I just want to take care of her like I always imagined.

Today I decide to take her out somewhere more relaxing. She had been in the house for a month she didn't go out beside doctor appointments. I tried to take her, but she refused it. Last night Khadija called me and asked me about Zoya health and I tell her truthfully what is going on. She suggest me to take her park where she feel relaxed. I take a half day from the office and no one says anything to me as I am the head of this office.

I park the car outside of the house and went inside after opening door with my keys. I walk in the living room when I heard some child voice and laughing coming from here. I freeze when I saw Mom and Zoya watching our childhood videos. I just wanted to disappear when I saw myself running around in a diaper with Mom running behind me cloths in her hand. I smile slightly when I heard Zoya soft laughing at the video. I just wish that I can see her laughing all day, but sadly we are running late and I want her to relax.

"Assalam-o-Alaikum" I give my Salam walking inside. They looked at me with wide eyes and I chuckle at their reaction.

"W-Walaikum Assalam." Mom greet back and I heard Zoya giving a silent Salam. I look at her and saw her a lot of better than the first day she came here.

"What are you guys watching?" I asked them when I notice Tv screen blank. They both look at each other and swallow before shaking their head with an innocent smile.

"Anyways, what are you doing here this early?" Mom asked, taking out the dvd from the player before putting it back in the case. I sigh and look at Zoya, who is already looking at me.

"I came home to take her out. Get ready, we are going park." I say getting up and walk out ending the conversation, but I know Zoya will argue me when she started to follow me. I walk upstairs in our room and put my bag on my desk. I shrugged out of my coat before laying it on the couch where I sleep. I sit there and started to untie my shoes when I saw Zoya standing in front of me with her arms crossed. I raised my eyebrow and untie my other shoes.

"I don't want to go anywhere." She says but come out like a whine at which I chuckle but stop when she glared at me. Sometimes she scares me.

"We are going and that is final. I don't want to any argument. Get ready." I told her, standing up, but sit back when she refused to move out of my way.

"No." I sigh heavily and run my hand in my hairs. I have to make her understand. I grab her hand and make her sit on couch with me.

"Zoya, I understand you don't want to go out, but you have to. The day you came here you haven't gone out anywhere beside the doctor clinic for your appointments. This is your first time here and I want to show you around. Please let me do this. For our baby." I practically begged her. She sighs and nodded before standing up and walk toward the closet.

"So, how are you feeling?" I asked once we sit on the blanket after walking about half an hour. She was slightly out of breath. I take out the water bottle from picnic basket and handed it to her. I pack everything before coming here.

"I am actually feeling good and relaxed." She says with a small smile as she watch kids playing. I smile and take the bottle from her when she held it out. I put it back in the basket and take out the sandwich Mom made for us. I quickly unwrap it and hold it up to her mouth. She tries to take it from me, but I take my hand back and shake my head.

"No, I am going to feed you." I say and give her final look when she was about to protest. She open her mouth and I put it in her mouth for her to take a bite. She smiled as she started to chew it. I take out mine and take a bite from it.

"You made me feel like a kid again." Zoya mumble when she again takes a bite. I chuckle and shake my head before looking forward.

After eating and talking about little things we pack up and went up to my car. I open the door for her and close it after she seated carefully. I put the basket and blanket on the back seat before walking toward the driver seat and open door to get in. We drive in silence, none of us say anything. She was looking out of the window with a smile and I concentrate on the road. I think this is the time I should ask her. I clear my throats to get her attention.

"I was wondering, do you want to go shopping tomorrow?" I asked her as I stop on red light. I turned to face her, but she was still looking out of window.

"I don't know." She shrugged with a sigh.

"Shopping for our baby." As I say that she snapped her head toward me. I guess she think I am joking, but I am not. I am serious about this.

"I-I don't know. I think we should wait for it and you don't have to do that. I will take care of it." She says looking down. I grabbed her hand in mine and squeezed it lightly.

"Zoya when I say that our baby, I mean it. This is our baby. Your and mine. Please don't ever think that once they come into this world, I will turn my back to you or our baby. I promised you to stay by your side all my life and I will keep my promise. No matter what the situation will be I will never leave you or them." I say and I could tell that she feel my promising voice. When she looks at me, her eyes were watered. She nodded and wipe her eyes.

"Tomorrow will be okay." She says quietly. I smile and brought our hands up to my lips and lightly kiss her hand and I heard her breath caught. I look back when I heard the horns. I quickly started the car again and pulled out of there. I drive toward the house with a smile on my lips.

"Thank you Asim for everything." She says once we are in front of the house. I smiled softly at her.

'One step in our relationship. I hope this will work out.'
