Destiny

Chapter 30 (LAST)

As both of them were lost in each other's embrace they didn't hear the knocking on the room's door and neither did they realize someone entering, it was only when a clearing of throat was heard they broke apart.

"Uhh..maama!"
Izah felt so embarassed.
"I did knock! Anyways I was just worried why both of you left early. Let's talk tomorrow, I won't take much of your time."
With a teasing smile Mrs. Sikandar went away leaving both of them embarassed.
"I'l go and change."
She immediately rushed towards the closet, her mimd still processing what just happened.
Salaar was too left in a daze,
'Did we just kiss..' he thought to himself.

The next few days passed in a blurr, everyone's entire focus was on Sana and Abdullah's engagement which was to be held by the end of the month. Both the families thought that the kids will take their time in deciding about the alliance but both of them gave in their decisions right after their first meeting. Izah has been the continuous support for Sana while taking this big decision. Both Izah and Salaar have been a bit busy lately with the things at home as well as work. A good which Salaar felt was Izah didn't act any different after their moment, which he was afraid she might. But it seems both were pretty fine with what happened but didn't really talked about it.
These days were just filled with family dinners with the Haroon's and shopping sprees, Sana wasn't letting Izah loose at all. After alot of time the entire Sikandar villa was brimming with happiness, everyone felt at peace after a very long time.
It was just another day when Sana and Izah had returned from shopping and were now in Izah's room. Izah was arranging the stuff she bought today in her cupboard, when something caught Sana's eyes.

"Hey I didn't make you buy that so you can keep it securely inside your cupboard."

"What Sana?"
Izah turned to her in confusion.

"That expensive and sexy piece of lingerie."

"Oh Godd not again!"

"Do I have to keep telling you everyday Izah."
Sana went up to her cupboard and took it out and gave it to her.

"Go and wear it."

"What! Are you mad or what why would I wear it right now."

"You won't wear it in front of him atleast show me!"

"Ohh please, I am clearly not interested!"

"I am just asking you to try it once Izah."

"Not happening!"

"You are so annoying you know that."
Izah just let out a sigh.

"Btw maama told me how she walked on you guys the other day."
Sana teased her about that day.

"Sana I think you should leave my room."

"Tell me na! Did she interrupt something?"
She asked her with excitement.

"Why are you like this!"

"Atleast just tell me what all happened na Izah!"
All the memories from that day came back to her not like she forgot anything, that kiss was all she had been thinking about in the past few days. Everything about that moment fluttered her heart.
"Are you like remembering what all happened?"

"Get the hell out of my room Sana!"
She literally kicked her out of the room.

"Aww are you feeling shy!"
She teased her and burst into laughter while she threw her out of the room.
She came back to her cupboard to keep the remaining stuff into it when once again she looked at that and took it out and kept looking at it for a while.
'I'll just try and see how it looks on me.'
She thought. That was her only plan to try it once and then change it immediately but maybe destiny had other plans.
She looked at herself in the mirror, Wearing that black lacy nightwear. She just wore it for the sake of trying it once, it came till just above her knees,she was about to wear the black robe over it which came with it when suddenly the door opened and he entered, and called for her but stopped whatever it was that he was saying when his eyes fell on her.
"Izah I was thinking...."

"Uh..I..I was just trying."
As their eyes met he quickly lowered his gaze, It was the first time he was seeing her like that.
She stood still in her place looking everywhere except for him, blood rushed yo her cheeks, she was sure her face was all red by now. Sensing her condition he came forward towards her and stopped right in front of her. He slightly leaned forward her eyes close on their own due to the proximity, and then bending a little he picked up the robe that had slipped from her hands and held it out for her.

"Here take this."
He whispered, as she opened her eyes his gaze was still lowered then she slowly took the robe from him.
"I am right outside, you can change." He turned around to go giving her some privacy.
She had noticed how he kept his eyes lowered the entire time.

"Why would you not look at me."
She said in a faint voice hearing which he stopped and slightly turned around, still not looking at her.

"I will look at you only when you would want me to look at you."
It was something about his words or simply the way he said those words, that stirred alot of emotions within her. She took a few steps towards him not knowing exactly what she wanted in that moment.

"What if I already do?"
With that she came forward and stood in front of him, she held his face in her hands and made him look at her, there was something in her eyes that he hasn't seen before.

"I thought you were uncomfortable."

"You don't make me uncomfortable, I already told you.."
She replied and took another step forward leaving only an inch of gap between them, and today Salaar Sikandar was in for alot of surprises, he was not quite sure what his wife was upto here.
"Izah.."

"Hmmm.."
She took another step forward leaving no space at all.

"What are you upto!"

"What do you think?"
Their eyes never leaving each other, breathing in a sync as if they were the same person, maybe they were in that moment. With her hand she slightly caressed his cheek, and her eyes falling to his lips and then back to his eyes, and then she moved away taking slow steps back still looking at him. And then very slowly she took her robe and started to wear it.

"What exactly are you doing?"
He again asked her.

"I am doing exactly what you asked me to do a few minutes ago."
She said with a faint smile.

"What?"
He asked in confusion. This woman was surely making him crazy today.

"To wear my robe.." she said looking at him so innocently as if she did not just do what she did.

"Are you trying to tease me Mrs. Salaar."
It was now his turn to move towards her.

"Is it working?"

"More than you know."

With that he came upto her and took that dammned robe away from her hands and threw it aside and encircled his hands around her waist bringing her closer, her hands went around his neck, without wasting a second he kissed her and she kissed him back with equal intensity.
When they broke apart trying to even their breaths their forheads touching,
"If you want me to stop, then stop me now.."
He said to her.
"We wouldn't be here if I wanted to stop you."
And that was all it took for him to loose himself in her. All distances, all barriers, all boundaries were evaded. Both of them accpeted each other with all their heart, soul, and body.
And the night passed with them loving each other.
The next morning when he woke up he found her standing in front of the mirror already dressed for work.

"You up so early?"
He asked still trying to evade sleep from his eyes.
"Yess I had an early morning meeting today, and I am already late."
She turned to him and informed him,
"I'll see you at lunch I guess."
She added.
"Okay I'll be waiting for you!"
He said as she smiled at him and turned to leave but then stopped and looked at him again.
"Ohh and yess I forgot to tell you something!"

"What?"
He asked halfway yawning.

"The fact that I love you!"
And with that she rushed staright out of the room leaving her very surprised husband behind.

'Well a very good morning to me', he thought to himself with a huge smile on his face.

This is life! With all it's highs and lows, with all it's uncertainties. Who could have thought this was how their lives will turn out to be. After loosing so much, after giving up on their respective lives both of them found each other in the most unexpected and twisted way, because they were destined to. Destiny always has a plan afterall...
