44: her realization

Happy 29.9k reads *kisses*

AUTHOR'S POV:

Aaliyana was sleeping peacefully but then she started to have a nightmare. She was speaking in her dream when she woke up with a jerk. The person who used to be always there for her wasn't there.

Her Zaviyaar.

She frantically searched for Zaviyaar, but he was nowhere to be found. Overcome with emotion, she couldn't hold back the tears and began crying uncontrollably. She tried to compose herself, but the overwhelming sense of loneliness and longing for him made it nearly impossible. She knew in her heart that she didn't just want Zaviyaar – she needed him.

She dialed his number, hoping to hear his comforting voice on the other end of the line. Unfortunately, he didn't pick up, no matter how many times she called. She managed to regain some composure and stop the tears from flowing, but a deep sense of emptiness lingered within her. All she wanted was to be in his arms, to feel the warmth of his embrace, and to hold him close.

"Zaviyaar I miss you," she said to herself

"I need you. Please come back," she cried.

As she closed her eyes, the vivid images of her recurring dream flooded her mind. In the dream, she was losing Zaviyaar, the person she cared about the most, and the mere thought of it brought tears to her eyes. The intensity of her emotions overwhelmed her as she couldn't shake off the distressing dream.

"Zaviyaar please don't leave me I love you."

"Yes, I do. I love you Zaviyaar. I miss you," she confessed to nobody but herself.

AaliyanaI woke up this morning with a vivid recollection of last night's events. As I lay in bed, I found myself questioning my feelings and pondering whether I truly love Zaviyaar. I do. I have genuine and deep feelings for him. I love him so much and I am eagerly anticipating the opportunity to express to him that I want to give him a chance.  A chance to us. A chance to our brown tale. She realized that she loved him.

AALIYANA'S POV:

I woke up and got ready for the day. After that, I sent a message to Noor asking her to get ready because Malaika and I were planning to pick her up for a girls' day out. We plan to start with some shopping, and then Noor will join us for a sleepover. I was messaging Noor when I saw a text message from zaviyaar.

"I'm really sorry Sweetheart. I was unable to attend your calls. Are you okay why were you calling me this late? Did you have a nightmare? I'm genuinely ashamed I wasn't there but don't worry I'll be coming back after two days. And Don't miss me too much. Take care."

I was feeling a rush of warmth to my cheeks, blushing uncontrollably at the message he sent me. After composing myself, I responded to his message and made my way downstairs. Glancing at the clock, I realized it was almost 3 pm. Waking up later than usual, I hurried to get ready for the day. Malaika was already prepared, so we quickly left the house together.

Malaika and I are currently in the process of heading over to Noor's place to pick her up. Once Noor joins us, we plan to go on a shopping trip. We're looking forward to spending time together and finding some great buys! Soon we reached Noor's place. Picked her up.

"Hello guys," Noor said while sitting in the car.

We greeted her and went to the mall.

We did a lot of shopping, picking out some new items that caught our eye. Later, we headed over to our all-time preferred restaurant for a delightful dinner. The conversation flowed as we shared all the latest gossip. Noor had some interesting revelations to spill about Asad and her relationship, which really caught everyone's attention.

I noticed that Malaika seemed to be holding back something important, but I didn't dwell on it too much at the time. It was a wonderful evening, and I realized how much I missed these moments with my friends.

We returned home and decided to create a small and cozy space on the balcony to spend the night. As it approached 9 pm, all of us were engrossed in our phones. I was eager to express my feelings about wanting to give my relationship with Zaviyaar a chance, but I was uncertain about how to initiate this conversation. Noor keenly observed my contemplative state.

"Aaliyana just tell us what you want to tell," Noor said.

"Just spill the tea," Malaika said

"Uhm-m," I was trying to say it.

"Just tell us already," they said

"I guess Ilovezaviyaar," I said fast. I've already told them how Zaviyaar said that he'll wait for me to give our marriage a chance and he'll put effort in our marriage.

"WHAT?" they shouted.

"What??" I frowned.

"You got to be kidding," Noor said, I shook my head.

"Omgg Aaliyana are you finally in love? I knew it," Malaika said.

"Aaliyana I'm so happy for you my love. But if ever Zaviyaar tries to break your heart just tell me I'll break his face," Noor said hugging.

I told them what happened in Paris excluding the kiss part.

"So did you guys kiss?" Noor asked. My cheeks were turning red. I wasn't able to answer them.

"No way!!" Malaika said and it reminded me of that morning.

"Shut up you guys. It's nothing like that," I lied

"Chal joothi," Noor said lightly slapping my arm. (stop the lies.) I rolled my eyes.

I was overwhelmed with joy when my friends found out about my feelings for Zaviyaar. I couldn't help but blush uncontrollably as they teased me about it. I asked them to keep it a secret and assured them that I would tell Zaviyaar about my feelings on my terms. I was talking to them when my phone pinged it was a message from Zaviyaar.

"Hi Liyana, I hope you're doing well. I wanted to check in and remind you to take care of yourself. I heard from Mom that you may not be eating properly lately. Please make sure to eat your meals on time and take care of yourself. I know you miss me (inserts a smirk emoji), but it's important to look after your health. By the way, have fun hanging out with your girls."

My cheeks turn red. My lips formed a smile.

"Aaliyana I guess hum chale jate Hain Tum jiju se hi baat karlo," Noor said rolling her eyes.

(I guess we should leave, as you are busy with our brother-in-law.)

"Omg look at you Aaliyana you are blushing like a teenager in love," she teased me

I replied to zaviyaar.

After we decided to pamper ourselves, we carefully applied a face mask. As we spread the mask evenly across our faces, we couldn't help but chuckle at the prospect of holding in laughter while it dried. When the time came to remove it, the experience turned out to be rather uncomfortable due to the peel-off nature of the mask.

"Guys I've to tell you something," Noor said seriously.

"Are you getting married? Wait phophu didn't tell me?" I asked her

"No, I'm not. The thing is.."

"Stop the suspense just tell it," Malaika said.

"I got my dream project," she said.

"Yayayyayayya Congratulations," We said.

"But I have to go to London," she said.

"So what? It's your dream project and it's okay. I know you'll miss us but that's okay." I said

"Don't be sad Noor it's big news," Malaika cheered her up.

Then soon we drifted to sleep.

Noor had to leave abruptly because her Mom called her. We were all gathered at the dining table, enjoying our lunch when Noor received the call. Unfortunately, to our surprise, Lubna was also present at the table. "Mom and Dad Zaviyaar is coming back Tomorrow," I said

"That's great." They replied replied

"Guys I've good news," Zayyan said

"I'm signing my F1 in a few months and for that, I have to go to London," he broke the news. Zayyan always wanted to be an F1 driver and here he is achieving his dream, we are proud of him.

Everyone congratulated him.

"Mom Noor is also going to London," I said.

"That's great," she said.

"Bhabhi, Noor's boyfriend is an F1 driver no?" Zayyan questioned.

"Yeah, he is. You know him?" I asked

"Not personally but I have heard of him, he is a world champion," he said, I could see some hateful wrath in his eyes.

"Ager Noor ka koi boyfriend na hota toh main zaror Uzma see Noor ke bare main baat karti Zayyan ke liye," she was disappointed, Zayyan choked on water he was having. I could feel a crimson color on his cheeks. Does he like Noor? No how can he, he knows she has a boyfriend.

I returned to my room, feeling a mix of excitement and nerves. As I settled in, my thoughts kept circling back to how I could express my true feelings for him. I couldn't help but feel a pang of frustration thinking about how effortlessly he seemed to have done it.

AUTHOR'S POV:

Zaviyaar is filled with longing for his home. He yearns to return to the place where he feels most comfortable and at peace. He wants to back to his home.

His Sweetheart.

After returning, he won't be going directly home. Instead, he will be going to the office first, and then he'll be heading back to his home from there. His home, his wife.

He has a growing sense of unease as if something ominous is looming on the horizon. However, he tries to push aside these foreboding emotions and carry on with determination. He feels something is wrong.
