His vicious revenge by Yarmia Tariq (best free ereader .txt) 📗

Alaya was in her final month of pregnancy now, and she used to get tired very quickly. Her only routine was to attend her university classes and help out in the kitchen or help Asad in his school work. She went to doctor regularly and her baby was doing fine.
Clara used to visit her often now, and took care of her everything, from meals to medicines. 
Ayla was reading her academic book, sitting in the lawn. And it was drizzling. The weather was very pleasant so she couldn't help but enjoy sipping on her cream coffee in the greeny environment.
Asad was inside completing his homework as it was a weekend.
It was almost evening. The maid came and asked Ayla to get inside as she will catch a cold, as the temperature was getting low as the night was crowding the sky.

She denied and kept sitting there. She placed her hand on her belly, and felt the lively child inside who felt like in utmost peace.
She smiled and thought to herself, what a pleasant gift she has to have her little baby by her side. No wonder she will be in her arms in a month.

Nowhere, she heard some footsteps behind her. She thought it could be Asad. She stood up instantly and turned around to face him. 
But what she saw blew her senses.

It was Gerard! He was well dressed in a black tuxedo, like a business man. And he hadn't shaved since a long time so he had a bit beard with no length.
He looked extremely different than before.

"Gerard!" She almost whispered to herself.

While he stood there, watching her. He couldn't believe that she was her wife and going to be a mother of his baby. He full grown belly surprised him. He couldn't wonder, how much she changed when he left her. 
They both stood there for a while in stance.

Breaking silence, he stepped forward first and stride towards her. While she remained there, calm, stiff and silent.
He reached her and took her both hands by surprise and hold them in his big masculine hands. 
Their eyes met, and he could see through them. Their eye contact was so intense. He could feel that she was feeling like crying. Her eyes were moist and glass like.

"I'm sorry" he apologized, making her realize that she was really there, in front of him.

"I'm sorry I made you suffer alot, and let you through this hard time alone. Please forgive me. I'm a better man now, I've changed myself. I accepted Islam" the words uttered from his mouth made her lose her shield and she started crying uncontrollably.

She leaned in and placed her head on his chest. While he snaked his arms around her little body, and protected her like a exoskeleton. 
She felt warm, and comfortable in his embrace.
He let her hug, until she stopped crying.
She got away, and he placed his hand on her forehead.

"You're so cold, what are you doing outside?" He said possessively and took off his coat at once.
And placed it on her shoulders.
This was the time, when Alaya felt that her world was complete.
Her baby, Gerard was her only family now. She felt so relaxed, and felt like her happiness only consisted of these people.

Gerard took her inside. They both sat on the couch. He was a bit worried that she didn't utter a word to him.
Thoughts flooded, 'is she upset with me?' 'is she not happy with my return?' 
Alaya asked the maid to prepare the dinner and told her some special dishes. While Gerard watched her silently and observed her movements. He was admiring her how she considered it as her own home, and how she is doing each work with sincerity.

At dinner table, they all sat and Alaya asked maid to call Asad too for dinner.
At first Gerard was surprised at the name but then he realized that Asad was her younger brother. And she must have bought him here in his absence.
They talked a little about Asad and Alaya told him that she bought him here few months ago, and now he lives with her.
Gerard was glad that she had someone of her own in his absence who accompanied her at least.
He could feel that how lonely a person feels when he doesn't have anyone to close to rely on.
Asad came and and stopped in his tracks watching the similar face, which he only saw when Gerard went to his home to manipulate his family.

He got angry and in no moment he rushed back to his room and closed the door. 
Alaya was astonished at his behavior but soon realized the reason.
Gerard could also feel that why he behaved like this, he must had knew everything.

"Im sorry, he acted this way. I'll talk to him" she apologized humbly.

"No worries take your time. I can understand" he said assuring her.

She ate her food in hurry and asked the maid to prepare a platter for Asad as he will eat his food in his room.
The maid at once prepared a platter.
And after completing her dinner with Gerard she got up and took the food to his room.
While Gerard went upstairs to his room to get fresh.
He could completely realize that all this was his own fault, so he kept silent. But he knew that he will have to apologize to Asad too to clear all the misunderstandings between them. It also made him realize that Alaya also must have known the truth, if she was living with Asad already. 
He took out his casuals and went to bathroom to take a shower and sooth his nerves.
While Alaya was knocking at Asad's door. And he was not opening it. After 5 mins of constant begging, he opened.
And she found him in the most unexpected state, his eyes were red due to constant crying. And his face was a mess with tears. She never saw him like that.
Instantly he leaned forward and hugged Alaya tightly.
