CHAPTER #11

Zafar's POV

I took her out of car, she was still very lethargic.....
I took her in.

"ya Allah, what happened to hafsa, my little daughter!" dadi was sitting in the hall and she freaked out to see hafsa like that.

"what happened?" ammi came from her room
She was shocked to see hafsa like that

"what happened to her?"

My mom loved hafsa..... She was just like a daughter to her

"take her to the room zafar, stop staring at us! What are you waiting for?"
Dadi and ammi were yelling.
I took her in and laid her on the bed.

"ammi could you please make soup for hafsa?"

"sure beta, I will but could you tell me what had happened?"

"hafsa isn't well"

"take care of her ok?"

"yes ammi.... I'll be waiting for you in the room"

She went to the kitchen to make the soup and I headed to my room.

"hafsa, are you feeling ok now?"
She slowly opened her eyes

"hafsa hafsa!! Yess look at me" I was overjoyed

When I kissed her on her forehead, it was steaming!
She had a fever!

"you have fever"
She giggled

"you think it's funny"

"I am fine don't worry"

"what don't worry!? Ammi will bring soup for you after that we are going to the doctor ok?"

"ok" she chuckled

Ammi bought the soup and told me to feed her. I took the bowl from her and she left.
I slowly fed her the soup.

"now, get ready... We are going to visit the doctor"

"uhnngghh" she was doing like a lazy baby now.

"get uppp"

"ok ok" she said.

I left her in the room to get ready. She wore her normal loose top and pant along with hed hijab and came out after about 15 minutes.
"I am ready"

I took her to the hospital. There it was confirmed that she was having fever because she has taken some stress and I know the exact reason why this has happened.
When we reached home, I commanded hafsa to only rest.

"you'll also get fever if you sleep so close to me" she said

"I don't care" I crept closer to her and tried sleeping.
It was midnight but still I couldn't even blink my eye. All that I saw today was haunting me again and again.
I turned to look at hafsa, she was asleep.
She was the one who said me not to sleep closer to her and she is here sleeping fully glued to me.
How dare that man??!!?

In the morning, I heard someone weeping. I opened my eyes to see it was hafsa.

"hafsa? What happened? You are crying in your sleep! Wake upp!!!"

I shook her and she woke up.
She started wailing... Pulling my shirt and hitting her head to my chest.

"what happened with me ya allah!!!"

"nothing happened... Nothing"

"how could this happen? You all saw me like that? What did I do to deserve this?"

She was wailing so loudly now that I had to scream her name as if in anger

"HAFSA!!" she closed her eyes on my chest, panting.

"how will I show my face to you? Ya allah" she was whispering in breathes

"it's none of your fault....thanks to allah a thousand times I reached there in the nick of time"

"ya allah ya allah" she was still whispering in her breathes, fully bathed in sweat.

"you are only mine..... Come"
I helped her get up from the bed.

"go and take a nice hot bath, it will freshen you up"
She obeyed me just as I told her to do.

"here, isn't this your favorite sandwich"

"it is" she said smiling

I fed her the breakfast and gave her chai (tea) to freshen her up even more.
I saw just then that she was still crying silently.
She couldn't forget whatever happened.... Even though that dog didn't succeed in what he wanted from my wife but he still touched her..... That was troubling her and me too..
And for me it was a double torture to see my wife in this condition.

"hafsa?"

"yes?" she replied

"please don't exert yourself"

She just nodded
"I will sleep for a while"

I let her sleep for a while...

Hafsa's POV

I couldn't believe all this happened with me.
If it was not zafar, then I don't know what might have happened.
I couldn't stop thinking all that and whenever that came to my mind I couldn't stop tears falling.

"hafsa?" zafar called me

"yes?"

"please don't exert yourself"

I know how he was feeling to look at me in such state.
"I'll sleep for a while" this was the only way to hide my face from him

It was past asr time when I woke up and zafar wasn't in the room.

I offered my asr and maghrib together. Just after maghrib salah was over.... Zafar came.
He looked at me and scanned my whole face.
I just sat on the bed to comfort myself.
He kneeled down on the ground in front of me and took out two papers from the drawers.
He gave it to me

"what are these?" I asked

"open and see" he was smiling

I was curious, without wasting a minute, I opened the papers.

"these are the tickets... To..." I was finding to which place these tickets were.

"to london"

My eyes popped out of shock
"I want us to forget everything that happened and give ourselves some private moments of happiness"
I couldn't control my tears

I hugged him hard.
"so this was the surprise you were referring to?"

"not exactly.... Close your eyes"

Now, zafar wants me to close my eyes... Ok... What is he doing now?
Like after a half of minute.... I felt something on my neck.
I opened my eyes and moved in front of the mirror.

OH MY GOD! IT WAS A GOLD CHAIN WITH A RUBY LOCKET EMBEDDED IN IT!!

"do you like it?" zafar asked me, hugging me from the back

"I love it"

"more than me?" he asked teasingly

"not more than you"
He giggled and gave me a kiss.

I felt quite relieved.
