Chapter 18.

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

Few months later.

Asim.

"Stop ordering me!" Zoya yelled at me. I sigh and held my hand up and take a step back.

"Okay. Cool down. Take deep breaths." I say softly. She looks at me and do what I say. I smile slightly. She looks more cute when she is angry.

"Sorry." She sigh, looking down. I take a step forward and make her sit in bed before sitting next to her.

"Its okay. Now, can you eat it?" I asked, putting the bowl full of fresh fruits in front of her.

"But I don't want to eat it now." She whined, making me sigh and think how should I make her eat it. She didn't eat anything after breakfast that was at 8:30 and now it is 12 in the noon. No one is at home but only the two of us and Mom told me to feed her before she leave. Mom and Dad were at Yasir house while Adil is in office.

"If you eat all this then we will go park in the evening." I say with a small smile. She looks at me for a few minutes.

"Promise?" She asked with a cute innocent look. I nodded and held the bowl in front of her. She sighs and take it from me and start eating. I smile as I saw her eating quickly.

These days have been very hard for me. Zoya is like a kid, but I still love her the same way. She looks more cute when she was like a kid. I don't know if we will have more kids in the future, but I do want her like this all the time. I promised her to take park in the evening, but I don't know how. A month ago, she almost falls from stairs if Mom didn't see her. Mom strictly told me not to take her out or anywhere till the baby was born, but I couldn't think any other things besides this. She has been complaining for sitting all day at home and wants to go out. I sigh and run my hands in my hairs. I know Mom will be mad when she know about this.

"Done. Can we go now?" Zoya voice break me from my thoughts. I look at her and then empty bowl in her hand. I stood up, taking the bowl from her.

"I said we will go in the evening not now." I said, walking out of the room we were staying. After that incident, Mom told us to shift in the guest room downstairs. I heard footsteps following me and I know she is following me.

"But what will I do now? I am bored." She whined again. Her whining irritates me, but I know she is not doing it by herself.

"How about we watch a movie? It is 12 pm and when movie finish, then we will go? Is that okay?" I asked and told her about the plan. She thinks about it and nodded. She turned around as the yawn escape from her making me chuckle.

I put the bowl in the sink and wash it off before joining Zoya in the living room where she was sitting looking at two movies Dvds. I sigh and sit next to her looking at her confused face. She looks at me and raised her eyebrow at me, but I just shrugged and turned to look at Tv. After a few minutes she gives me the new comedy movie and I put it on. By half way of movie Zoya fall asleep with her head on my shoulder making me smile. I sigh mentally and continue to watch the movie as it soon come to an end. When the movie was finished, I turn it off and carefully put my arms around her and pick her up. This is the first time I carried her like this and when she is sleeping. I don't know how she will react when she was awake and see me carrying her like this.

I went in our room and gently lowered her on the bed. I carefully take my arms out and push her hairs back before lightly kiss her forehead. I was about to walk away when something stops me. I look back and saw Zoya hand held mine tightly. This reminds me the first night of our marriage, when she actually cried in front of me. The look on her face that make my heart clenched. That night she had nothing on her face. It was empty, but now she is much better. I just wish she will always be like this.

3 months later.

I sigh heavily and continue to listen Rauhan as he speaks about the new and important issue of the Business Magazine. What he want in it, how he want and which business men or women interview will be there. I still remember the first interview for business Magazine was of Mrs. Asif the former CEO of Ali Company and it is still the biggest company in the state. Now it is running by Mr. Zayan Ali, son of Mr. Ali the founder of that company.

Rauhan want me to take his interview, but I don't want to. Not right now. Because for this interview I had to stay here for at least a week, then get it edit and give it to Rauhan. I also have some other work outside of my wife. I also have a personal life. He should be thankful that I came here today. I am only here because of Zoya. Suddenly a ring appear in room that turned everyone to look at me.
"Please Asim, Switch off your office while you were here in the meeting." Shaheer say with a glare. I glare back not caring if he is my boss and only because of his brother Zoya is in this situation.

"Shaheer." Rauhan glared at him and nodded at my phone. I quickly pick it up as it keeps ringing.

"Hello?" I answer it and frowned when I heard the Mom voice.

"Asim, come back home right now." She order me. I was confused why she is calling me back?

"Mom, I am in meeting right now." I told her but

"Asim, Zoya is in hospital." I freeze and my eyes widened. I was confused and worried at the same time. At last appointment doctors told us that she is one and half week away from birth.

"Asim!" I flinch back when I heard Mom yelled at other side. I quickly stood up and started to pack my things.

"I will be there soon." With that I hung up. I quickly pick up my things and look at my bosses.

"Sorry, but I have to go. Zoya is in hospital." Rauhan quickly stood up and Shaheer followed him. We all walk out of the meeting room after they dismiss everyone. Rauhan and I drive to airport while Shaheer went to take Zoya Mom, Dad. Khadija was already with Zoya so I could relax a little.

On the way to airport Rauhan book tickets of next flight to home, which is in about an hour. When we reach airport, we went inside and waited in the waiting area for our flight to call. Rauhan went to bring everyone tickets. I was confused when I saw Shaheer ticket with everyone I wanted to asked but I couldn't think anything beside Zoya. I just hope she was okay.

In our last appointment doctor also told us that maybe there will be some problems in birth but Zoya didn't take her seriously. After that appointment, I took off from the office to the birth, but Rauhan called for this meeting. I started to regret leaving her alone.

"Asim, come our flight is announced." Rauhan Dad shake on my shoulder. I looked up at him and nodded before following his son and everyone.

"Don't worry, she will be okay." A voice says from next to me. I look at my left and saw Rauhan sitting next to me. I sigh and nodded.

"All of them will be okay." I say and whisper (Insha-Allah) in my heart.

I just hope both Zoya and my baby will be okay. I don't want anything but them to be save.
