Speak only when your words are more beautiful than the silence.” –Anonymous

KHALID MIRZA P.O.V

" No …. Wait, don't … stop …. Stop " I yelled struggling .

" Shhh…. It's okay it's fine " I heard a soothing voice which was pulling me out of my darkness and evil that enveloped me .

The expediency of my heartbeat wouldn't stop . I felt her soft hand messaging my forehead to calm me down .

I didn't hesitate for once to hold her hands tightly .

" Open your eyes Khalid , it's a bad dream to wake up , you are alright " she cooed , rubbing my hand .

I open my eyes , immediately muddle with a foreign sight that welcomes and engulfed me. I was panting hard and my body was covered in sweat , everything was blur around, a face hovering over me , I blinked to remove the fog in front of my eyes . Slowly adjusting my eyesight on the bright light . Amira's face came to my view clearly .

" Amira " I barely whispered , her worried eyes gazing my way , like if she blinked I would be lost .

" You are awake " a relief spread all over her face .

" Unfortunately " I tried to sit up to lean my headboard .

" Ah" she gasped then smacked my arm .

" You scared us " her tone became low while her eyes held sadness .

" What happened? " I furrowed my eyebrows .

I don't remember anything ?? 

" You had a panic attack '' her eyes held something , something which I don't want .

Sympathy …

" No, I might be drunk " I lied, removing the cover over my body .

" You are lying " I got off the bed while her eyes followed me .

" No I am not Amira " I said sternly , her face fell .

Then I remembered something , her past trauma ….

I gulp looking away , I remember everything .

" You look pale " I look at her again .

" Did you sleep at all last night? " I frown , there was darkness under her eyes .

" I will ask someone to make breakfast for you " her tone was low , she was to get down .

I stood in front of her , making her breath hitched .

She looked at the place I was before then at me " Dude you have energy " she said , astonished .

" You are not going anywhere, " I told her .

Her eyebrows raised then I don't know what clicked her mind but her expression changed into anger .

" Are you going to lock me here? " she yelled, making my eyes widen .

" What ! Why would I " I step back , the way she was fuming made me fear .

Which was very weird .

" You said ! I cannot go anywhere " she yelled and I closed my eyes flinching though her voice is angelic but right now it is hitting the wrong cord inside my brain .

" I said don't go anywhere because I know you didn't sleep last night, " I explained .

" So sleep " I was a bit irritated .

Her mouth form O 

She looked at the bed more than me .

" Fine " she shrugged casually then jumped on the bed , irritating more .

She pulled the blanket over her body " please close the curtain and -" both of my eyebrows raised .

" And bring something for me to eat , I am hungry " she made a puppy face .

I shook my head , not sleeping the whole night, definitely messing with all the wires in the non existing brain .

Shaking my head , I grab a shirt then walk downstairs to fill the order of my wife .


 

" Khalid , why did you come downstairs? " My posture became rigid. I was stunned for a moment .

" Why did you come downstairs , how are you feeling? " My mother asked, scanning all over my face .

" I - I am okay " I couldn't believe it , my mother was actually talking to me .

" I am sorry" water filled her eyes .

" I am so sorry Khalid " she hugged me tightly , I was too stunned to react .

Slowly , my hand was raised on my own, engulfing her in tightness .

" I am not a good mother, " she cried on my chest .

" Ammi please don't say it " I tried to calm her down .

"I promised, I won't leave you alone anymore " she cupped my face kissing my forehead .

" Did you really forgive me ? "I ask not to believe .

" Yeah , because someone made me realise that with hatred you cannot change anything but love can " she nodded, hugging me again .

" Now , I will never leave you alone, my son, " she mumbled, crying .

Unconsciously my eyes went to the front mirror , I furrowed my eyebrows only to see Amira standing behind the pillar smiling watching our moment' .

That's when I realised it was her who convinced my mother to forgive me .

" Amira…… " 


 

After everything I have done , how can someone still remain kind ??

 

Amira Sultan p.o.v 

The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain. ...

" Is it really that grand? " Mehjabin asked, chopping onions. She decided not to go to our home town again even though Khalid assured her that he will help her mother and brother. Instead she asked to let her work here and send  salary to her mother . I don't know why she just doesn't want to go back .

" Grand , our Khalid bhai is no less than a celebrity, " Nafisa winked at me .

I scoffed " please " 

" Okay... It means you cannot be clumsy Amira " she nudged my elbow .

I roll my eyes..

Yeah I used to break most of the things in Mr Rizwan the pathetic man restaurant back then I used to think he was kind for not firing me .

Well now I know why ....

" Ohh don't worry about that " Nafisa waved her hand .

" She is banned for dinner and any special occasion " 

Mehjabin head snap toward me " Here as well " 

" Whatever " I slump in my sit 

" I can understand , she is clumsy, " Mehjabin laughed .

" You know one time , she fell just by sitting on a chair " both of them laugh .

" Hello ...." I waved my hand dramatically " do you guys not see me here "
