Chapter 15 B
Cruise will touch land midday of coming day, normally they should be drained out of energy after roaming so much but they were not. Leg pains were there yet they were not tired.
Unwillingly she enters into cabin as it was bed time . She refreshes and lays on couch . It was Zain term for watch that night, so he didn't return . She tried so much to slip into sleep to be oblivious of to her hearts whispers.
But her adamant heart drummed hard against her chest , knocking her brain to hear . She glanced at time it's striking 11: 45 pm. No sign of sleep and her eyes were wide opened staring at calm sea through closed round window .
She walked out hoping she could see Zain , when she entered on deck she didn't find him, she scanned every corner and found him sleeping up porting his back to wall. His legs are extended and curled.
She walked towards him, he looked innocent and sat beside him. His drooping head found support when his head dropped on her shoulder . Recognising support he half opened his eyes and smiled in haze .
An oblivious smile crept her lips , she lost count of how many times he smiled at her . That whole day.
Struggling with sleep he opened his and looked at Aaliya who was staring at stars. Reminiscing those countless sparkling smiles .
" you are here ? " he asked her in a low voice almost like whisper. She tried to cast his glimpse without motion as his head was still resting on her shoulder .
" you are on duty caption ! And this is reportable act " she said teasing him.
" a small nap " he says raising his head .
" why are you here ?? Aren't you tired ?? " he asked her .
" I am " she said looking at him. His hair is little messed and he was adoring looking like a kid. She sometimes wondered how unmatched combo was.
When he smirks though her heart leaps she some how manages , but, drowsy Zain and that innocent smile playing on his lips are unmanageable she reverted her gaze back .
" I am , just last day so I came out " she continued. " this might be last sail , I might never sail again in my life." She said gathering chirpiness which was far away.
He looked at her with immense intensity. Settling heaviness made him agitate .
incapable to comprehend what was happening to him in haze , he rested his head again on her shoulder.
He was not able to frame a line , just closed his eyes, magical eyes adoring him shot into his memory .
Feeling self conscious Aaliya raised her hand to move his head from her shoulder , instead she found herself brushing his messy hair .
Her fingers, in his hair was more magical than her eyes. He opened his eyes , caught her hand with his raising his head again . Her Gaze was already fixed on him.
Both looked new, brand new to each other, they knew what other was feeling and what they want .
He pulled her hand which was in his hold making her move towards him. She didn't move back and stayed quiet looking into his eyes. moon light was bathing her face. He moved close , cupped her face.
Heaviness settled , started seeping out of him , with expression! Expression of his feelings .
He pecked on her pursed lips, her drumming heart never helped and now too.
He pecked again and stayed on those juicy lips of hers for moments. He found how easy it feels expressing his feelings instead of faking them.
His hands moved back of her head and caught it tightly . If it's any girl like he bedded earlier kiss might have ignited longback. Reluctantly, scaredly he lifted his head to look at her , he was scared of her reaction, but unexpected was happening her eyes were closed she looked awaiting for his next move . With a huge smile he slammed his lips against her .
He dnt need to catch her head firmly anymore , she was equally kissing him. He lifted her hands sucking on her lowelip and placed them in his hair for that magical touch, then embraced her waist tightly framing her body to his. Her crazy heart drummed against his chest more vibrantly .
Consuming kiss felt never ending . They stopped kissing for few moment to gasp air but didn't move back, lips were still sealed . After few moment they started kissing again more madly . None were ready to break.
Buzzing rationality was ignored until his hands find their way into her dress. She jerked moved back with wide eyes . He stayed confused staring at her flushed lips , shocked face . Haze was gone , magical aura disappeared . As reality hit him , he kissed his temporary wife ! She was not just another girl. She was his wife , from whom he was trying to free himself .
She mentally cursed herself , looking at him, she could sense what he was thinking, she was beguiled by jerks momently innocent face .
With out uttering single word , with trembling legs walked into cabin and silently laid on his bed . One thing was clear , she cannot love a criminal. With that mental note she shut her eyes , sheeting her face , clutching his pillow tightly.
On the other side , Zain was still sitting at same place like fool. Wanting more but denying to accept. Her shocking face scared him. He can never estimate her , she has nerves to accuse him alone when she was equally involved too.
He decided to not face her for some time. He glanced at his watch , wee hours of morning, he realised how long they kissed each other , it surprised him , but, the kiss felt right! Different .
How was it different from his old kisses was big question mark . He laid on the floor of deck still reminiscing their kiss.

Zain who walked in half sleep into cabin in the morning hours saw Aaliya sleeping on his bed so he laid on couch and slipped into proper sleep.
She woke so late due to late sleep , realised she was late . She climbed down bed , saw sleeping Zain. That innocent face was back sleeping peacefully making her remind of their kiss. She mutters curses looking at him and walks into washroom to get ready.
She took a quick showe , packed her stuff , rescanned cabin once again and sat back on bed waiting for cruise to reach fort.
Zain was still sleeping , she went out to meet Bilal new final time, he has been her friend. She felt bad , she was gonna miss him.
When Zain woke up from sleep he didn't find her and her belongings to were missing . He sat back on couch , confused , shocked . last time too she left without informing him just leaving a note . He raced out , then realised they are still in sea. He sighed in relief .
He enquired a crossing cabin boy about Aliya and came to know that she was with Bilal. He soon freshed up and went to meet Bilal.
Both Bilal and Aliya were having afternoon meal. Zain joined them greeting Bilal. Both of them were ignoring each other . Bilal sensed tension in both of them . He completed his meal fastly and excused from them. After few moments Aliya too waked away not uttering single word. She couldn't face him .
When the cruise was about to touch shore she lend his phone and made call to Zubair . She felt relaxed knowing Zaubair was already at port.
Zain was silent controlling his urge to grab phone ,threw it into sea and controlling urge to stop provoking conversation.
" thank you " she said giving back his phone .
" he is already there " she added . Zain gritted his teeth .
That's it there were no further exchange of words.
Zain followed her to meet Zubair. Zain pictured a Zubair with average looks . But there stood a handsome guy with a wide smile laughing at both of them. No to his wife !
For the first time from morning she smiled and with increased pace she reached him.
They hugged formally to greet each other .
" How are you Aluu ?? " Zubair questioned with much bigger smile .
Nice it was not she alone calling him ' Zubbu ' he called his wife Aliya ' Aluu ' .
With absolute silence and with great control he stood unaffected .
" I am fine Zubbu " she replied .
" How on earth you sailed ?? Whose idea is this ?? " he teased her .
" it's it's complicated , leave it. "
zubairs glanced intently looking Zain and enquires about him.
" who is this ?? "
Aliya looked at Zain , he was busy studying Zubair .
" A friend , who saved me , I should say " she said in a firm tone.
Her answer left Zain in utter shock. He looked at her in disbelief . He knew it shouldn't matter him . But some how he got used to hear staff on cruise mentioning her as his wife .
" is it ?? Thanks for helping her " Zubair said .
" by the way, I'm Zubair, we are friends since childhood. "
" my pleasure, nice meeting you " Zain replied forcing a smile.
" I need to go , should report " he added and one final time looked at Aliya . She was busy scanning her belongings , didn't heed to look at him.
Zain left taking large steps into cruise.
