Hey friends and dear readers, feeling so happy reading all your lovely comments.. thanks a lot for them and also for liking the last chapter.
And I am sorry.. yes sorry. For I have to take at least a month break from writing. I dont know how I will manage not writing anything for this time being, because believe me or not.. writing is something I have got addicted to. Like edward collins in twilight... it has become my own personal brand of heroin and I dont really know how I will survive. But there are so many things going on in my life and getting only a four hours of sleep and spending the rest of the day in fatigue won't do for the next month for me. A few errands I have to take care of and get back healthy too. I hope you guys understand my problem. And I will be back, dont worry I am not gona leave my works uncomplete.. otherwise my soul can never rest in peace. With a promise to come back with the asteroid like speedy updates after a month maybe... I am gona say my temporary goodbye now friends. Be well... have fun and please dont forget me, I will miss you all and I will miss writing.
I will stay connected to you in facebook, my facebook name is sent through the pms to the people who are in my pm list.
Wish me luck guys and please pray for me. I am in a phase of my life and desiring something which has a gigantic power to change my whole life and turn it totally upside down.. obviously in a good way. My emotions are all over the edges and I have never wanted something so whole heartedly.. ( No.. dont think its about my love life or something .. ) So please pray for me...
Plus.. I think my recent updates are lacking something, like words aren't hitting heart anymore. I hope to come back with the passionate and emotional updates which makes tears to come in my own eyes when I write them and the happiness makes me smile when I write a joyous scene.. or a silly grin when the romantic ones...
This is the last updt for this month and the next month too... please like and comment after you read it...
Dedicating this chapter to " Loqascious_ash " , you pointed out very important things my friend... and that worked as precious tips for me... thnk u.
Koi Fariyaad
Chapter 21
Aaliya ran her hands down her knee length skirt making sure there wasn't any crisp left.. not even an invisible one. Today was a very important day for her, a new very precious deal was going to get signed with another company which would most probably prove to be a significant milestone for the company... according to jonathon's prediction. And aaliya was quite positive of his prediction.
Aaliya couldnt help but smile a little at how jonathon made her agree to ease up and go to coffee with him this evening. He had been charmingly persistent and she couldnt help but give in. Plus.. jonathon had been noticing her anxiousness this past week though he hadnt pushed her much to tell him but aaliya knew.. she had to tell him soon too.
As aaliya made her way towards the living room to say goodbye to the kids for the day... she felt weary... nervous and all over the edge. Not only she had to reveal to her children about zain being their father... she also had to give this information to jonathon too. She felt tensed thinking.. how really jonathon would react knowing about.. the father of her children.. had returned. And not only that, he was her neighbour now as well and was to have involvement in sarah and sammy's lives.
She saw the twins sitting on the carpet on the ground writing down alphabets in their notebooks with utter concentration. Aaliya was going to get them started with kindergarten school next week, a few days of classes and then summer holidays. Sarah and sammy were excited about starting school and aaliya was waiting for the day of their admission after which she had decided to tell them... tell them about their father. She didnt know how she was expecting them to take this news but she hoped for the best.
Resting her hip against the sofa.. she looked down at the siblings with an anxious smile. She hoped they would accept their father... build a healthy relation with him. As much as she wanted zain to suffer, she knew better to drag her past to her childrens lives and their right to bond with their dad. She wouldnt force them to do anything but she wouldnt stop them from loving him. And for that... no matter how difficult it would seem like.. she would act civil with zain.. at least infront of the children. The last thing she wanted was to give them the idea of petty.. arguing... selfish... violent parents and scar their childhood for life. No.. she wouldnt allow that.
Aaliya bent down beside them and smiled at jenna who sat on the sofa, jenna returned the smile genuinely.
Sammy: " Mommy... look I wrote it all correctly... "
Sammy showed her his notebook eagerly. Sarah too scrambled near her with her notebook.
Sarah: " Me too.. me too mommy... "
Aaliya took both their notebooks in her lap and ran her fingers in a soft caress over their childlike.. tilty and straighty.. writings. She grinned at them encouragingly...
Aaliya: " Yes.. you did. You guys are very much ready for school I see... "
She was rewarded with sarah and sammy's brilliant broad smiles of sheer joy and excitement. While sarah bobbed her head up down eagerly making her low pigtails bump with the movements, sammy beamed...
Sammy: " Yes we are... "
And she would also not let that man hurt her children like he hurt her years back. Though she could sense a kind of change in him but she was not still sure. The way he tried to blackmail her in the beginning made her judgement about him even more complicated.
But one thing was for sure.. zain might be the father of her children, he might rightfully get involvement in their lives but he would never get the pleasure of playing with her heart again.
---------------------------
----------------------------------
Sometimes we dont know if doing the right thing would be right or not. There are times in life when saying the truth can spread hapiness but still we can't make ourselves to go ahead and to do so. It's like getting stuck in zero gravity and landing feets in the ground seems pointless.
Zain Held the phone in his ear, desperate to tell his mother that he found his love... with two twinkling little stars dazzling along.
Suraia: " Zain.. why are you not speaking anything son, I asked you when are you going to come back ?? "
Zain had a dreamy tone when smilingly he spoke... " I dont know mom but I am coming home not alone this time... that I can say... "
Suraia was utterly confused... " What !! What are you talking about ? Not alone ? Zain... will you please stop with this puzzle and tell me clearly what's exactly going on ... "
For a moment zain fought with the two different currents of his conscience which were busy battling in his brain over.. whether to tell suraia about aaliya... about the grandchildren she and usmaan didnt know they had.
But with a sigh he locked away the urge, what aaliya wanted was the most important thing for him. He didn't know if aaliya would give her consent to let her presence known to the world she left behind.
Zain: " Just tell dad that I wont come back until I make everything alright... just tell him that. "
Suraia: " But zain wha.. "
With urgency zain quickly ended the conversation... " Bye mom... love you... "
He hung up and exhaled a deep breath running his hand upon his face. Standing up he lifted up his briefcase, he had an empire to take care of too and he couldnt ignore the faces looking upto him. There were so many jobs.. so many peoples hard earnings... their lives depending on him.
True he had dig himself into work long time ago.. but now he had a purpose to come back home from work... now he had the purpose for fighting... for someone... for himself and for his children. A hole in his... in he woman's and their children's lives.. waiting to be filled and he was dtermined to fill with love and happiness. The road might be difficult.. ful of bumps and obstacles... but promising and joyous at the end. And he would do anything to reach the end.
Zain stood by his car.. scrunching his eyes on the tires, all four of them were punctured.
" What the hell ! "
Ayaan was coming out of the house as well.. ready to go to work. He stopped beside zain and followed his irritated gaze to pop his eyes out in exasperation.
Zain could sense someone's handywork behind this errand, a conspiracy to make him suffer.
Ayaan threw his hands upward dramatically with a scowl on his face.
Ayaan: " I know who did this.. that bloody.. "
Zain placed his hand on the roof of his car and leaned sideways with his brows furrowed.
Noticing the question in his eyes ayaan snapped... " Who else zain. It's definitely that narrow minded.. stupid girl barqat. And here I thought she was a leech but the news is... she's a bloody chupacubra, wont leave you until all your blood is sucked out and you are left blue and zombified... "
Ayaan ended with a series of curses that zain had to almost cover his ears and close his eyes.
Neither zain.. nor ayaan noticed a little boy peeping out of the window, eyes glinting with mischief and a crooked smile gracing his innocent face that seemed so much similar to zain's.

Aaliya lifted her head up by the touch of jonathons hand upon hers, she saw him looking at her worriedly.
Jonathon: " Aaliya I tried not to push you to say things you dont want to share with me but I have told you before and I am telling you again that you can share me your problems.. what is it that's bothering you. "
Under his touch aaliya felt uncomfortable like it's not right but the his purpose touched her heart.
Aaliya: " If I say that everything is fine.. then it will be a terrible lie jon, because it's not. "
Jonathon was looking at her expectantly and aaliya felt like telling him. Sighing she opened her mouth when her phone beeped.
Right at that moment the waitress came with the bill making jonathon move his hand from upon hers and get busy.
Aaliya opened the text message to see it was from zain.
~~~ Can you meet me for dinner, at a restaurant ?? Please. I really need to talk to you. ~~~
Having an intake of a large amount of air in her lungs... aaliya typed back...
~~~ Ok. Meet at Sharley's, 7: 30... would be fine ?? ~~~
Almost immediately zain's reply came...
~~~ Ofcourse.. any time would be fine. Thanks... ~~~
Aaliya put back her phone in her purse. It's time to call truce and remind zain of her rules and the boundaries.
As she looked back at jonathon to see him staring at her, she reminded herself all over again... the safety of her heart remained with the man sitting infront of her... not the one who would be awaiting for her... not the one who had been hell adament to push on the walls she had created around herself and let six years of old dust to lay upon them.
When jonathon placed his hand gently upon her lower back escorting her outside the cafe to the bustling evening of the city, aaliya wondered was she in love with jonathon.
Jonathon's short kiss on her lips made her smile as she watched him slid into his car and leave. No... she wasn't in love with him. Things were so platonic between them, whatever was between them.. she could call it friendship.
Igniting her own car and directing to sharley's... aaliya brushed away a stray strand of hair from upon her forhead while holding the steering wheel with the other hand.
But she was positive that this friendship could be grown into something more. She would definitely grow into love with jonathon. Sooner or later it would happen... she told herself.
But then again why the hell fate had decided to brought zain back into her life, why opening the old wounds and unveiling the old scars when she had gotten used to with living with all these pain hidden in the deepest.
Closure... maybe that was it... for her .. for zain... what else ??
Will see you again after a month or two.. with the mischiefs of the twins; the expected and unexpected things in dinner where zain and aaliya will either take a step forward or back. Jeolousy issues will pop up when jonathon will be more active in aaliya's life. Revealing the truth to the kids of their father will take the story to a new turn. Will the heartbreak and wounds from the past be cured easily ?? No... zain and aaliya have a very bumpy journey ahead. Where it would take them ??
To know... wait for the next update, which will be a very long one when I come back with it. Till then dont forget me and... writers in IF ... dont stop sending me pms of your stories, I will try to like and comment often.. though my comments wont be long ones in this time period.
Take care... love u all.. tada...
