Chapter 28.

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

Zoya.

"Do you pack everything?" I heard a voice from behind. I turned around and saw Asim Mom looking at me with a small smile. I nodded and pick up my handbag.

"Yes, Asim already put our bags in the car." I told her politely and smile slightly when she patted my head. We head out and get in the cars. Yasir Bhai offer to drop Asim and me while Uncle and Aunty were riding with Khadija Bhabhi parents.

When we reach the airport, we get out and Asim and Yasir Bhai take our bags out. We walk in the airport and waited for our flight to get announce. We hug each other for the last time and bid our goodbyes before walking toward security when our flight get announced. Khadija Bhabhi family waves us until we were out of their view.

We sit on our seats in the plane and buckle up when we were about to take off. I sigh heavily and look behind few seats away. Hadiya and Mustafa were sleeping and Aunty and Uncle offer to take them until we reach there. I look at my left and saw Asim straight with a blank look. I hate to see him like that. I even hate it more when it was because of me. I slowly put my hand on his and fold my fingers around his and squeeze his hand lightly. He looked at our hands, then at me. My heart clench to see his emotionless eyes.

"Asim, please forgive me. I will do anything but please talk to me." I pleaded him as my eyes filled with tears. He sighs and looks away. I look down when I feel him pulling his hand out of mine. I look at him, surprised but he wasn't looking at me.

"Zoya I am tired please I want to take some rest." He says without even glancing at me and close his eyes resting his head back on his seat. My heart break when I heard him. I feel like my whole world crash down when he talk to me like that, but I know it is not his fault. I deserve it. I made many mistakes in my past and I do deserve to get broken. I sigh shakingly and turn to my right.

After he walk out last night he didn't talk to me, not when he come back and not in the morning. I know I shouldn't keep those papers like that, but I just wanted to give it back to Rauhan Bhai so he could cancel all this, but he turns me down saying he couldn't take it and was scared if Khadija Bhabhi will see she will be angry on him. I don't know what to do so I tried to hide it but I couldn't. I think if Asim didn't find it then we will be happy and excited to go. I close my eyes and remember what happened yesterday when he find out about the papers.

"You want a divorce from me?" Asim asked and I saw tears flashing in his eyes. I quickly shake my head and put a sleeping Mustafa back in his crib."

N-no. I didn't want it. I-I was just confused about it and it was before that day. Please try to understand it is not what you think." I tried and take a step forward, but stop when he raised his hands up.

"Don't! You were confused? How can someone be confused about this? Why everytime I should understand you? Why can't you try to understand me? My feelings for you? You still think whatever I say was all a joke? It was not. I love you Zoya and I will always. Why don't you believe me? Why?" When we begin he raised his voice but by the end his voice come out like a whisper. My heart break to see tears rolling down to his face.

"I believe you Asim but please try to understand what was I feeling when I make that decision. I swear I wasn't doing this to hurt you or anyone. I feel I am a burden on you and think it will be better for you to leave me and leave someone who you actually love and want to spend your life with. I am sorry Asim, I know I hurt you a lot. I am sorry." My own voice broke in the end and I could feel my eyes watering as well. Asim look at me with a blank look and shake his head before throwing the papers on the floor.

"You did hurt me a lot, but sometimes you make me happy. I don't know what to do or what to say, but I just want to be happy with you. I know that you would never be able to feel the same for me and I don't want to force you for that. But keep one thing in your mind. You. Are. Not. A. Burden. On. Me. Take out all negative things from your mind." He hissed and I can feel how much angry he is. I swallow and nodded slowly taking a step forward and this time he didn't stop me.

"I am sorry. Please forgive me. Trust me I will never do anything like this again. Please." I whisper and reach out to hold his hand, but he take a step back and shake his head with a sigh.

"Maybe I will forgive you, but I didn't trust you enough. If you want us to be like before then you have to gain it."

"I will do anything but please trust me."

"I am sorry Zoya. It will take time to trust you again." He paused and pick up the papers before giving it back to me. "I packed everything. Go and get some sleep. It was a tiring day for you." He take a step back and turned around to walk out. I saw hurt and sadness in his eyes when he turned away from me. The sound of the door shutting broke me down.

"Zoya." I open my eyes and look directly at the brown eyes of Asim. Something in his eyes makes me nervous. I notice his face sad and soften. I look around and saw all seats empty. I frowned and sat straight.

"Did we land?" I asked him and I frowned when I heard my voice cracking. I feel relief when I saw him smiling slightly. I don't know how but I really get attached to him and his moods.

"Yes, we already landed. I just want everyone to go so I could wake you up. Come." He helped me to stand making me smile. I feel happy that he is not mad and talking to me again. We walk down off the plane, then in the airport where Uncle and Aunty were waiting for us. We get our bags and walk out of the airport.

"Asim, I hired two cars for us and here is the key of your car." Uncle handed his keys and walk to another car behind ours which held two kids car seat at the back. I look at Asim and raised my eyebrow. He unlock the car and I sit in. He put our bags in trunks and get in quickly. He drove after Uncle's car and soon we stop in front of the hotel. We get out and Asim and Uncle handed their keys to valet before walking inside as another man brings our bags behind us. I was feeling uncomfortable. I was never been in this type of lifestyle, but by the look of Asim and his parents I can know they were.

When Asim gets our keys, we all ride upstairs to go in our room in the elevator. Uncle and Aunty room was a floor down to ours. We took Hadiya and Mustafa from them so we could feed them and get them into sleep. When we get in our room, we put Hadiya and Mustafa on bed and Asim offered to stay with them while I find something to eat in the kitchen that was in our room.

After feeding them food Asim take them to Uncle and Aunty when they call for them. When Asim comes back we eat food in silence. None of us say anything. I stole a few glances of Asim but he was eating quietly looking down. I don't if I should say something or not, but I don't want to take the risk of him yelling at me. I hate that.

"Mom said they will take Hadiya and Mustafa out in the evening. They also want us to go somewhere." Asim says still looking down. I could feel hopes in his voice, but I am not sure if I want to go somewhere or not.

"Asim-" I started, but cut it off.

"It's okay if you don't want to go. I will tell them that you are not feeling well." Asim says interrupting me. I sigh heavily and look down. I don't want to ruin this vacation for him.

"I was going to say yes. I can understand if you don't want to take me out after what I had done. I will be fine." I say and force a smile when he looked up at me. He quickly shake his head.

"No!" I raised my eyebrow at him. "No, I mean we can go. I just thought you didn't want to go anywhere." My eyes widened when I saw a pink shade on his cheeks. Is he blushing or Am I dreaming?

"Why wouldn't I want to go when we come here to enjoy?" I asked him confused. Why did he think like that? Did he mean I don't want to come here and enjoy?

"I-I don't know." He stutters and shrugged. I sigh heavily when I see him frowning.

"Asim I know why you think like that, but I am taking your advice. Remember you told me to forget about everything that happened and enjoy your life again. That is what I want to do. I want to live again, enjoy again, but this time I want you to be my side. I want to do everything I used to do with you. I know you wouldn't believe me, but I really want to do it with you. I am sorry Asim for everything but trust me, I want to give it a try and see where it goes. A-are you with me?" I asked him nervously and tell him why I chose to come here with him. For a few minutes he didn't say anything but continue to look at me then he smiled and nodded. I felt relief when I saw the smile I was missing. I look down feeling myself blushing when he smiles softly at me.

"I am always with you Zoya." He says and reached forward to hold my hand. I look at him, then our hands and fold my fingers around his. I smile softly at him.

Maybe this is the time to see the love of Asim and maybe I finally started to live my life again.
