EPILOGUE

AYSHAM’S POV:

There weren’t any regrets in my life as I never had to take any decisions. I never took decisions out of spite or in anger. It was the first time I took one in order to punish him and now I was regretting to my core that even my soul was bleeding. I didn’t know for how much time I was waiting outside in the cold corridor of the hospital because he came in front of me while the gun was hot. Everything happened so suddenly that mind couldn’t comprehend what had happened in just mere seconds that led my Farzan to go in that state.

I had cried already like a well that now my eyes were painfully sore with redness in them as I could sense that the way the nurses and doctors passed by gazing at my state. I didn’t care less at that time.

In these hours I had gone through every emotion hatred, rage, helplessness and love. I was overwhelmed by these as really for the first time wanted to kill that Bilal Hashmi but he was already dead. Yes, he was dead and he did that to himself. When Farzan was shot everyone was stunned but Ahmad bhai acted out first as he took the gun from Bilal’s grip while Muzamil and Zaroon bhai along with their men also acted and with lots of gunshots their men went down when Ahmad bhai put gun on Bilal’s head. Everyone stopped as I had Farzan in my hands looking at me with closing eyes with a smile on his face while looking at me.

“I’ll hate you for the rest of my life if you close your eyes.” I cried as my whole body was shivering.

“Don’t you already?” He teased with a smirk followed by his eyes closing every second then my screams echoed in the warehouse.

“You think you can kill me. No one can do that except me.” Bilal said and, in a cue, he took the gun from Ahmad bhai and within a second shot himself in the head. He was a psycho and he proved that by his death but at that time nobody cared about him as everybody rushed towards Farzan. His men had tears in their eyes when they took Farzan to the hospital and I got to know how earning respect and loyalty looked like.

“You should eat something.” Areej said sitting by my side as I didn’t respond to her. My eyes were just focused on the white marble floor as I was scared from inside that my every fiber was praying for him without even my lips moving because my heart was screaming at that time in front of my Allah. He gave me happiness in form of Farzan and I was begging him to not take that happiness from me.

“Aysha…” Areej looked at me with concern when I finally glanced up at her. She had smudged make-up on as she also got married last night but with Muzamil bhai. That was fate and it always plays its games.

“Why is he not coming out?” I mumbled with flushed cheeks with all the rubbing of my tears with my hands tainted with henna. I was in my bridal attire yet with long white chaddar around me brought by Areej.

“He would. We all are praying.” She rubbed my head like an older sister while I glanced at dad, Zaroon bhai and Muzamil bhai sitting in the same posture as mine. They all had persuaded me to eat but I didn’t do that. How could anything pass down my throat when he was in that condition fighting death? His men were outside so was Imran as they weren’t ready to leave but Dad asked all of them to go to their respective homes while Imran stayed for chores willingly. He was the one bringing food for everyone made by dadi. She went home to take care of everything at the mansion and also took care of the food while her own health wasn’t good seeing her grandson like that but indeed, she was a strong woman.

“It’s been more than twenty-four hours.” I said as my chin started wobbling bringing tears in Areej eyes too.

“Don’t lose hope beta. He had fought death before too. He is strong. He would be fine.” It seemed like dad said those things more to himself than me. He was his son after all. He was in more pain than me but still he was trying to console me which should be the other way round.

“He will INSHALLAH. (By ALLAH’S WILL).” I said as tears had found the strength to flow again. The sun of the next day was melting and the doctor hadn’t said anything yet.

In few hours the doctor came out again as we all rushed stood up when he came closer. My heart was beating fast as I thought it would burst open if I heard something which it didn’t have the strength to hear.

“What is it?” Muzamil bhai asked with a clenched jaw as he was trying to control himself all the while. They both hadn’t shed a single tear just like Imran but they all had their eyes red shot as if they were boiling in anger and regretting the death of Bilal. They wanted him alive so that they would have killed him in the most brutal way. I knew he had ruined his hereafter doing suicide as he would suffer in the end too and that was his fate which was way more cruel.

“He is out of danger now.” He said and my tears started flowing in flow while Areej hugged me with a gasp. Everyone had the expressions as if someone had showered cold water on them while they were burning in the fire. “We have stopped the bleeding but we aren’t sure when he would gain consciousness.” He further stated as Muzamil and Zaroon bhai started interrogating further which seemed more like threats to the doctor for giving him the perfect treatment.

In the meantime, I asked the nurse if I could see him or not and she agreed finally making me wear the safety overall and then I slid inside where he was lying unconscious covered by multiple tubes attached to his body which was helping him to fight for life.

Tears were rolling down my eyes as I sniffed while stepping closer to him. He was using oxygen to breathe while his face was pale. I took his hand in mine as for the first time in those past hours I finally got the feeling of breathing freely.

“I hate you.” I mumbled with the tears as I finally smiled when I added. “I won’t leave you again.” I rested my head against his knuckles as I finally cried one last time as those were the happy tears for my prayers which fulfilled.

“You should go and change. Do you want him to look at you like this looking like a churail?” Areej glared at me when I finally came out of the room when the nurse asked me to and then others went inside to take a look at him.

“But he hasn’t wakened up yet?” I mumbled as she glared at me.

“O-okay.” I finally agreed as I didn’t want him to see me in that condition with huge bags under my eyes and my hairs looking like a nest.

I hurriedly went home as I went to change when Areej and dadi waited for me downstairs. I took a shower before I wore my pink silk colord dress with white veil around my head while I was so eager to go back to Farzan that I made a bun of my wet hairs and went downstairs.

“You are not going anywhere without eating anything.” Dadi announced as she was adamant on what she said so it took an hour to finally eat the food and go back to the car again.

We finally reached hospital as he had moved into the private room which was reserved for VIPs. All of his men had already seen him alive but unconscious as the moment I entered the room the whole room was filled with sweet fragrances of flowers as flowers and Farzan didn’t go along.

“Isn’t he awake yet?” I asked them who were sitting on the couch looking at the T.V screen where the funeral of the long-lost son of famous Chaudry mafias was happening. He had reached his end as he we shouldn’t be thinking about him anymore although I did think about Ahmad bhai who must be devastated after all of this.

“He opened his eyes for few seconds but drifted to sleep again. He is completely safe now.” Zaroon bhai informed as I walked towards him and caress his hairs with lots of prayers for his health in my heart. Soon they all went home leaving me alone with him as dadi wanted to stay too but dad didn’t let her because of his health.

“I should stay here too. You will be bored.” Areej mumbled standing beside me when Muzamil bhai came. It was evident she was trying to avoid Muzamil bhai. He became her husband out of nowhere as they both must be taking time adjust to this reality.

“She won’t. She would be with her husband just like you should be with yours.” Muzamil bhai smirked as he heard her. I smiled at both of them too. They both were cute.

“You aren’t my husband.” Areej rolled her eyes as Muzamil bhai raised an eyebrow at her.

“Do you want me to take you in my arms?” He asked with darkened eyes as I bit my lower lip.

“Uff!” Areej stomped her food with a flushed face as she walked out of the room while Muzamil bhai bid goodbye to me.

“Don’t tease her much.” I requested him.

“She does that with me before marriage and now it’s my turn.” He winked at me as he went out. I had seen the love in his eyes for Areej a long time ago and now he got what he wanted as he was blessed and Areej was too as I had seen how she was affected by Muzamil bhai in a good way.

“Are all they gone?” My breath hitched when the deep radiating voice echoed in the room. Within seconds which felt like hours I turned around finding him wide awake looking directly at me with a smile on his face.

“Farzan.” Tears filled my eyes as I ran towards him checking if he was real or fake.

“Ji Farzan ki jaan.” He was real and safe in front of me. I couldn’t believe everything turned out fine.

“Why did you do that?” I asked as I started crying making him smile more.

“Because I thought I should say I love you in a more romantic way.” He teased making me glare.

“Just like you said you don’t love me.” My lower lip puckered out although I tried to look dominant.

“You are my innocent butterfly…” He took my hand and raised in towards his lips while he kissed my knuckles. “…I knew you wouldn’t be able to act or lie and I wanted you to say those thigs to find out the traitor. I am sorry.” He said as he kept grazing his lips to my knuckles.

“I don’t forgive you. I hate you. I will leave you forever. Goodluck for your future.” I had a right to show anger and I used that.

“I only see the future when I am with you. There is no future without you.” He said as my already melted heart melted more but I had to act stern.

“No. You yourself said that you don’t want me. I would leave you and then you would live without me. I will even marry someone else and have babies with him and…ahh” I gasped when all of a sudden, he pulled me towards him as I rested my hand on the pillow so I couldn’t touch his wound.

“Say that again and I wouldn’t be making you scream here while putting my babies inside you. You are my butterfly. You don’t even have a right to say anything about you belonging to someone else. Understood?” He stated as all the smirky Farzan was gone making me alarm.

"L-leave me." I murmured as his proximity was making my senses erratic. "Because you don't want me."Only Iknew the pain I felt while saying that sentence.

"What if I say I want you?" His amusing smirk made her breath shaky. There was something changed in him but the eyes were the same as before. It was hard to find which side of him was true. He knew the art of lying but now I came to know him very clearly. Eventually I was getting to learn his every feature and one of that was he loved me. Even if he tried to lie about that but that wasn’t reflected his eyes just like he had done that before.

"Why do you want me?" I wet her dry lips as he came closer tightening his hold around my waist. He chuckled at her sentence.

"We are married." He said with an amusing smirk when he added. "I just realized that, I am married to the best person in the world who can fulfill my needs only." His black midnight eyes were getting darker.

“You married me forcefully.” I couldn’t help the smile coming across my lips while my heart was thundering in my chest at his proximity. The nurse could have walked any time.

“But I married you with love the second time.” He rasped against my lips.

“You kissed me forcefully at first.” I complained again.

“I will kiss you last time before my last breath with all the love you have made me fallen with.” He rasped as he raised his neck slightly despite the pain.

“You are saying that you will love me till your last breath?” I raised an eyebrow with blushed cheeks.

“I have no other option. My heart doesn’t listen to me. He loves Mrs. Farzan Shah.”  He said with a helpless face as my chuckle echoed in the room while he kept glancing at me with a smile.

“Okay I should pity you since you are a helpless case. I love you Mr. Farzan Shah.” I said as he grabbed me from the nape of my neck and smashed my lips against his. I let him as I opened my mouth willingly for him and he devoured me like he was hungry for ages.

“Never leave me again.” He groaned in between the kiss.

“Never hurt me again.” I moaned inside his mouth.

“I would kill myself before doing that.” He said as in response I sucked his tongue making his groan echo in the room.

That’s what I wanted. A life filled with love which despite the pain and hardships helps you to go through the life without any depression and stress because you know you have someone who loves you and would be with you in any case.

The moon and stars witnessed many things as now they locked the confession of our love too in that soothing night while they glanced at us through the window wall just like they witness so many other things that happen in the darkness of the night.

Okay so this is the end of Farzan and Aysham's story. I didn't want to write anything dark but a lot romance with a pinch of spirituality as I just wanted to make you feel good not depress because reading is a way to escape and where will you run off to when your escape would be the one depressing you. I really enjoyed all of your comments and your reviews helped me a lot in formulating the next part. I am glad you ignored all of my mistakes and still encouraged me and I am very grateful for that.
