HER INNOCENCE TAMED MY MONSTER

CHAPTER 36

ASSALAM O ALIKUM, MY LOVELY READERS!

AREESHA'S POV:

I just can't believe my eyes, he had my childhood picture, I was just eight I guess, but how does he get this? I quickly opened the drawer and pulled out all the contents from it and sit down on the floor and looked at all the things in the drawer, there were few envelopes sealed with some of his brand symbol on them, I just put them away and ramaged through other things, there I found few more pictures of my childhood and one picture of my family, mama and baba was there in that pic and I was sitting on my father's lap smiling widely showing my all teeth, remembering that time, it was our first family picture, I still remember how excited baba was at that time, he brought mama a new set of her favorite black pearls that day especially for that day, I again looked at the picture in my hands, baba was sitting on a long back armchair and mama was standing beside him with one hand on his shoulder, I was proudly sitting on his lap, I was just five at that time, wearing white and royal blue lace frock, I wiped the tears from my eyes and put all the things back in the drawer.

Okay, how does he got those pictures?

Does he know my parents?

But how he could know them?

He was born in NewYork, he lived all his life there, he graduated from Cambridge University,he never came to my hometown ever, when Uncle move into this city after that incident in Haweli, I never got a chance to go back to my home town, but how does he got these pictures, I clearly remember I googled him earlier, yeah, I know I have google to know about my husband! I found out that he has been to almost every country in the world, even I found his pictures where he is standing on the peak of mount Everest, few pics under the deepest part of the pacific ocean, I didn't believe it either, there were so many pics of him all over the internet where he was in different parts of the world, hicking, swimming, surfing bunjee jumping, flying jet and lots more, how this man can explore like this and be successful and be the youngest business tycoon of the world, but there was no evidence that he has been to my hometown ever, so how he has these pics? It's really a mystery to me right now.

I closed my eyes and lay down on the floor cushion, thinking about the possibility how he know us, I was staring his large picture hanging on the wall, that's when something clicked my mind,

No, he can't be the one! He can't be Jazzy! No way!

I stood up and walked to his picture and trace the line of his eyes on the picture, and gasped, with trembling hands I covered my face,

My God! How stupid I am! He is Jazzy! My childhood friend, they both have same eyes, same mark on the forehead, the same mark which he got saving my life.

*Flashback*

"Baba, can I go? Please I pinky promise, I won't disturb him!" I said, standing on my tip toes and watching my dad with puppy dog eyes,
"But, my angel, he is sleeping, he is tired right now, he need some rest, you can meet him in morning, okay?" Baba said, closing the door slowly,

"No, Baba, I want to meet Jazzy! He is hurt! I want to go to him, please Baba," I said with tear filled eyes,

"Hey! Areesha! Come on, please don't cry, you know I just can't bear your tears my angel, okay come on but don't wake him up, okay? He need to sleep," Baba said, opening the door again,

"I promise baba," I said and walked inside his room where I found Jazzy sleeping on the bed, his head was covered with bandages, I walked to him and hold his hand in mine, watching his face which clearly shows he was in pain, not physical though, he was having something bad in his mind, he was curled up on the whole bed, like he was trying to save himself, I kissed his knuckles and leaned forward and slowly whispered, " Jazzy! Let it go, it's a past, everything is going to be fine, don't hurt yourself for that," after a while I saw creases on his forehead disappearing and his breathing become shallow, making me grin, I again lean forward and slightly kissed his forehead,
