Playing For Keeps

Epilogue

---Hussain's POV---

Several  year later

After a year had passed the biggest debate I still had with myself was whether or not I should move on and I eventually did. I forgave myself and the others.

The only problem I had with moving on is that no other girl would accept my past and neither would they want to know anything else. The only reason they would date me is because I had money.

I was chilling at home today when the doorbell rang.

"Hey," I said surprised.

"There's someone that wants to meet you," Nayana said.

She was out for on a world tour promoting her fashion line. We hadn't had a chance to talk to over a year, just texts here and there, no proper conversation.

"What did I tell you about girls these days?" I asked.

I just walked away and motioned for her to come in.

I turned back around and dropped my glass.

"Have fun you two," Nayana said and basically ran out before I could say anything.

The two of us just looked at each other.

"Uuumm... hi," Arya said.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I came to see you," she said.

"And you've done that. What else?" I asked.

"Your still mad at me?" She asked.

"Arya, sit down," I said and she did.

I sat across from here.

"You just told me the last time we talked that I can play for keeps, and I've been trying to tell you that is exactly what I was doing. I wanted to keep you, but you didn't believe me," I said.

"I do believe you. Can we please start over?" She asked.

I took a deep breath before answering.

"Fine," I said. "But how do I know that you trust me?"

"Because losing you was the biggest hurt of my life. I remember when Aakash and I would spend time together how jealous you would get. I thought it was adorable that you were so possessive. Oh and one other thing, your past was something that always interested me. I remember you told me that you didn't date anyone in those 2 years. I didn't date anyone either," she said.

That got my attention even more.

"But you told me," I said struggling to find the words.

"My co-worker.  We had a presentation to do," she said.

"I've always wanted my first relationship to be my last," she added.

"Hhmm," I said.

"So I guess we are back?" I questioned.

"I'd hope so," she said.

"Come here," I said and hugged her.

"I missed you so much," she said.

"Me too," I said.

~~~~~~~

"So that's how you two were back together again?" Our daughter asked.

"Yep. All because one person decided to bring her to see me that day," I said.

"What a story! Okay, I'm sleepy now," she said.

"Alright princess," I said.

"When is mom coming home?" She asked.

"Later," I said.

"She's late," she said.

"Yep, she's working overtime," I said.

"What's overtime?" She asked.

"It means you work more than your orginal time," I said.

"Okay. So tell me more about how you and mom met," she said.

"You just told me you were sleepy," I said.

She laughed and hid her face.

"Okay, I'll go to sleep," she said. "Good night."

"Good night," I said.

I went to turn her light off.

"Wait," she said.

"What?" I asked.

"You won't leave me nah? You said that your family...but you won't leave nuh?" She asked.

I went to her and kissed her forehead.

"I promise I will never leave you," I said.

"Thanks," she said.

With that I left her room.

I went downstairs and watched TV for a bit.

"I'm home!" I heard my wife say.

"Don't yell!" I yelled back.

"Your doing it," she said.

I hugged her.

"She's alseep?" She asked and I nodded.

"How'd you get her to sleep so ealry?" She questioned.

"I told her a story," I said.

"Oh what kind? Princess, magic, fairies," she said.

"Nope," I said.

"Please don't tell me you told her a scary story," she said.

"I didn't. I told her our story," I said.

"Our story?" She asked.

"Of how we met and fell in love and all that," I said.

"And," she said.

"And what?" I asked.

"And how you played me," she said.

"I'm still because I'm never letting you go," I said.

"Playing For Keeps," we both said and laughed.

HOPE you all liked it 😄

I wanted to finish this 2016 and I did 😏 Happy new year to all of you 😀 May 2017 be the best year of your life 😁

And in case the epilogue confused you, so basically what I did was decided to was have them meet up several years later as a part one of the epilogue, but then decided it would be cute if it ended this way so I decided to end it with this being a story of how they met 😀 Hope you all like it 😄
