Mine to Cherish

Epilogue

Life was going in full swing for Soniya and Eezad as they found their love after years of hardship. Bibi Jaana was satisfied to see them happy. Ali Sher sahib was content after seeing their grandson happy. Asher was more than happy to get the love of both his father and mother. Indeed after all the sufferings comes great relief.

*************

"Soniya come quick or else we'll get late. Everyone is ready to go except for you."

Eezad came into the room shouting like hell but stopped in his tracks as he saw Soniya wearing a beautiful maroon dress while kneeling down in front of Zoonash as she made her to wear her small shoes. He was filled with awe as he saw the two most precious things of his life busy with each other.

**********

Zoonash was their daughter who was born after one year of their union and was one year old now. At the birth of his daughter, Eezad was afraid to even hold her as she was too fragile for him to handle. When Eezad didn't even hold her after one week of her birth, Soniya eventually asked her.

"Eezad why are you not holding our daughter. You haven't named her. Even Asher is more better in handling her than you. Will you please share with me what's holding you back? Do you not like her?"

Eezad was taken aback by her sudden questioning. He was quick to respond.

"No, for the love of Allah I don't hate her. She is the most precious thing I have ever seen. I just fear for her fate. I have done bad things to you in the past. I didn't respect you as you deserved and used you as a weapon of revenge. Although you have forgiven me, I fear something like that might happen to my daughter. I won't to able to bear it again Soniya. I'll rather die than see things like that happening to my daughter."

Eezad replied back with his shoulders bowed down and tears coming out of his eyes.

Soniya smiled a little on his concern and came to sit beside him. She hugged him and stated,

"Eezad Allah does not punish a person for the thing he has repented on. I know you are the best man I have ever met. I have forgiven you and are living a good life with you. You shouldn't be worried about such things. Now come quick or our angel will get angry that her father has not come to see her."

She pulled him by his arm and took him to bed. She put the little angel in his arms and sat beside him. Eezad touched her cheeks and fingers as tears filled in his eyes. The little angel opened her eyes and looked at her father then closed the eyes again as if showing anger. Eezad smiled at it and kissed her forehead.

"She is so pretty. She is Zoonash our ray of light. She will bring happiness for us. I promise you my baby I will never let anything happen to you my angel."

Soniya put her head on his shoulder and felt content on seeing them like this. Eezad kissed Soniya's forehead and started playing with his daughter's hands.

***************

"My daughter and her mummy are ready at last."

Eezad said as he came forward to pick up his daughter.

" Yes we are ready and let's go now or you will shout again for the next hour over meaningless things."

Soniya said and Eezad rolled his eyes. Just then Asher came and happily hugged his mother. They all went outside as a happy family and enjoyed the night with Bibi Jaana and Gul Sher dada (grandfather).

*************

At night, Soniya tucked Asher in his bed and put Zoonash in her baby cot as both the siblings were tired after the busy day.

Eezad was lying on the bed while watching some news. As he saw Soniya coming he switched off the TV and opened his arms for Soniya to come. Soniya laid beside her.

"Thank you Soniya for making my life content. You are the best thing that happened to me."

He said kissing her forehead.

"What's with all the thanks from your side. Do you need something from me?"

Soniya asked mischievously as she looked in his eyes.

Eezad smirked and in a mere second Soniya was flipped onto the bed with Eezad hovering over her.

"Yes I want you dear wifey."

Eezad said and kissed her passionately. Soniya smiled and kissed him back. Eezad peppered her neck and jaw with kisses leaving love bites all over. Soon after their love making session, they were lying on the bed facing each other and smiling.

"I love you."

Eezad said.

"Thank you."

Soniya said with a smirk as she loved teasing Eezad. Eezad was shocked but eventually brought Soniya closer and hugged her tightly while Soniya giggled as she knew that she had found her solace and Eezad had finally found his happy place.
