A great change

Chapter 26.

*Unedited *

I got up with a severe headache. I always get this when I cry before going to sleep. I think I should take some pills.

"Aimen, you proved me wrong" Rehan came into the room. The mere sight of him brought a smile to my face.

"What?" I asked.

"Till this day I thought I'm the only one who can sleep this long but you broke my record," He said grinning ear to ear.

I looked down with embarrassment, with cheeks taking up the color. Did I sleep that long? "I didn't sleep last night," I said in my defense.

"I know," He said.

"Can you give me the medicine, my head is paining?" Immediately his face fell.

"Are you alright? Do I need to call the doctor?" He checked my forehead for temperature.

"Rehan it's just a headache. I'm fine" I said swatting his hand away.

"I'll get medicine" He disappeared. His caring act and his talk made me smile. It means he forgave me. He gave me a chance. It showed his love for me. I can't love him back like this but I'm ready to give him a chance.

He came back with a glass of water and handed me the med along with it. "Come eat something, you haven't eaten anything from yesterday"

"I'll go to the bathroom first" I stood up after gulping down the pill.

"Aimen, you can't avoid food like this" He stopped me by grabbing my wrist. After our encounter with Imran, I abandoned the food saying every lame excuse I came up with. But now I'm, really...really hungry.

"Ya Allah! Rehan, I'm just going to the bathroom"

"Fine, I give you 10 minutes, if don't you come, I'll surely drag you out"

"Yes, boss!" I mock a salute. He laughed and planted a kiss on my cheek.

I walk into the bathroom still feeling his lips on me. I hurriedly did all the chores and came out. My head was exploding. I found Rehan in the small living room which was attached to our bedroom.

"Hey!" I sat next to him.

"Here's your food. Eat it fully" he pointed to the table with a serious look.

"Okay!" I placed the plate on my lap. "Need a bite?" I asked. He shook his head. I ate it like a caveman. He was looking at his phone.

"Where are we going today?" I asked.

"Since it's evening and you are not feeling well, we will spend some time here and will go out for dinner. Are you okay with it?" he asked.

"Perfect!" I said.

"Rehan, did you forgive me?" I asked biting my lips. I want to be sure of it.

"Yeah!" He said with a short nod. There was an awkward silence between us.

"Do you get those often?" He looked at me.

"Huh?"

"Nightmares. Do you get those often?"

"No" I shook my head.

I used to get those long back but it stopped. Every encounter with Imran scares me but yesterday at the hospital he said something which scared me the most. When Rehan asked me to go in, Imran came inside a few minutes later. "Every time I see you, Aimen, my unfinished business comes to my mind. I so wanna complete it" I know what it means and he will kidnap me again to do it. Astaghfirullah.

Rehan brought me back from my thoughts "Let's pray Asr" He took my hand. He disappeared into the bathroom to do wudhu. I did wudhu after him. He laid the two praying mats. You know, it's the best feeling I ever had and will ever get, praying behind him. After praying we spread our hands for dua.

I got up folding my praying mat. He pulled me by my waist and I collided with his chest. His touch sent weird feelings down me. I smiled looking at his hypnotizing eyes. He kissed my forehead "How's your headache?" I looked down hiding my red face.

"Alhamdulilah! Fine" Finer after this kiss.

"Good!" He kissed again but this time on the cheek.

*******
We walked hand in hand down the street. After the excellent dinner we had, Rehan asked the driver to go and started to walk, only Allah knows where.

I looked at him. A striking face, clean beard and not to forget his perfect eyes could make anyone fall for him. But now he is my husband, so girls back off. "I know I'm so handsome but still I'll ask you why are staring at me?" He asked looking at me.

"Can't I stare at you with no reason?"

"Yes, you can baby" he kissed my hand.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"We will explore this place later, now I'm taking you to the place you will like"

We went to a park. It was still open at this hour and a few couples were scattered around. Rehan took me to a near bench. He tapped a seat next to him. We sat facing a beautiful lake.

"So...."

"So...."

"Tell me about you," I asked.

"Like what?"

"From anything to everything"

"You ask?" He played with my fingers.

"Okay.....why did you choose engineering when you were about to take dad's business"

He let out a small laugh "Many people ask me that"

"I know I have to take over dad's business one day or other and that's why I chose engineering" I gave him a confused look. "What's the use of joining some business school when you gonna learn that later also I always wished to pursue mechanical engineering"

"Smart," I said, patting his shoulder.

"That I am" he gave a wink.

"You like this place?"

"Yeah!" I said placing my head on his shoulder and looking at the lake.

"Tell me about you, Aimen. What's your favorite food?"

"That's hard to say everything is my favorite" he laughed at this. "What's your favorite?"

"Biryani" He cheered.

"What's your favorite color?" He asked.

"Purple. What's yours, dear husband?" I faced him.

"Red. Mostly on you" He caressed my cheeks. I'm wearing red right now. He came closer, our lips were inches apart when his phone rang.

"Fuck!" He cursed under his breath.

"Javid?" He said looking at his phone. "He never calls me unless an emergency"
