Just let me love you.. again (SEASON I)

chapter 45

.
Ayesha's pov
.

I was sitting while holding Reem in my arms, she sat still like a statue, there was no movement in her body.

"Baby! Don't worry, Mr Khan will bring back jeeju" I kept giving her courage

My mind went to Mr Khan

"I can't find him, Ayesha" his broken voice echoed in my ear. He sounded like he was crying.

Before I could give him my support, the line disconnected, I tried calling him back, but his number was switched off

I was worried about Reem and jeeju, but my heart was concerned about him also.

I hope Mr Khan is ok.

The chain of my thoughts broke when I heard a loud honk, everyone's attention went to the entry gate, I stood up and went to the entrance

Relief washed all over me when I saw Mr Khan walking in with jeeju, immediately I thanked Allah for keeping my Reem's life partner safe.

We all gathered around jeeju, he was telling us what happened throughout the day with him, maa hugged jeeju and cried, whereas everybody else was scolding, to be honest he has really been stupid.

Everyone was around jeeju, why is Reem not coming? I turned around to look at her, she was sitting like a statue, I was about to go to her, but stopped when jeeju spoke

"Let me meet my wife" he said and walked towards her, she got up and left from there, leaving him stunned

"You have troubled her a lot today, go make it upto her" dada ji said to jeeju, he nodded and left

"Izhaan is back safely alhamdulillah, let us go to sleep now" papa said and one by one everyone was leaving for their room

I noticed Mr Khan has not uttered a single word since he has returned, I looked at him, there was so much tiredness on his face, he looked so different from his usual self.

"It's ok beta! He is fine, Allah kept his mercy on us" dadi held Mr Khan's face and told him, he looked too serious, there was no emotion on his face

"Mera bacchaa (my child)" dadi kissed his forehead

He left from there. I felt a pang in my chest, I have always seen him as a strong, arrogant man, looking at him like this was making my heart clenched.

"Go to him Ayesha, he is too overwhelmed right now, he needs you" dadi patted my cheek and then left.

I went in the room, the lights were still off, I switched them on. He was sitting on the sofa, his elbows were on his knees and he had his face hid behind his large palms

I stood there trying to approach him. What should I tell him. I can clearly see how much he loves jeeju, but I never thought someone like him can value love so much, I have only seen him like an arrogant jerk

"Are you ok?" I asked, he didn't say anything.

"Mr Khan" I called but there was no response.

I sighed and walked towards him, after calling him a couple of times, I put my hand on his shoulder, suddenly he got up and pulled me in his arms

I stiffened in his embrace, words died in my throat. He was holding me tightly, I could feel his fast heartbeat on mine, my senses stopped working, I didn't know how to react.

"I was so scared" he said in a hurtful voice.

At that moment it felt like I could feel his pain, I wrapped my arms around him, trying to give him comfort.
