Imaara

Chapter 13

The night was extremely peaceful for the lovers who were lost in each other's arms. They were sleeping happily like they don't give a damn about the world. Imara was snuggling into Zubin's chest because of the sunlight that was coming inside from the window. While Zubin was holding her tight like she will run away if his grip on her loosened.

Because of her continuous moments, his sleep broke and the sight he saw in front of his eyes bought a lot of happiness to him. He saw Imara trying to hide herself by snuggling into his chest. He saw the time and he knew he has to get out before anyone see's him in Imara's room and question them about their relationship.

He was more than happy to let everyone know that he is in love but he respected Imara's decision way too much. He knew that she loves him but then she hasn't forgotten what he did years back and he has to gain her trust. He also remembers that she was saying about some secret that he would not let them stay together. He was petrified, he was sure now if something happens to their relationship he wouldn't be able to live. He was so madly in love with Imara.

Giving up on all those negative thoughts he moved towards Imara and woke her up. "Good morning baby. Had a nice sleep?", questioned Zubin with a beautiful smile. "Morning Zubin, yeah I had a peaceful sleep. Thank you", said Imara. " I'll just move to my room and get ready I don't want anyone to see us together! Unless and until we are not settled and you haven't forgiven me", explained Zubin lovingly.

After getting a yes from Imara he moved towards his room and got ready while Imara did the same. They moved down and saw everyone sitting on the table and having their breakfast. They joined them after wishing them a good morning. "So guys what's the plan further?", Asked Abraham. "See today we have a free afternoon and we will just roam around the palace because everyone would be tired. In the evening we all have the reception to attend then we have to move back to our daily routine", said Zoe.

"Guys I was planning something, as planned the bride and the groom are supposed to leave for their Honeymoon tomorrow morning, why don't we also have a small trip? We would enjoy for 3 days and then we will go back to our place! What do you think?", asked Zubin. Listening to him everyone was happy. They all really wanted to have their friend's time though they were together for the wedding but because of work, they couldn't spend time with each other.

"Wow! Great idea buddy! It's so long that we had a trip together! I am totally in", said Aaliyah. Everyone agreed to except for Imara. Now everyone was looking at her with a lot of hope in their eyes. They wanted her to join. Finally not being able to deny everyone she agreed and that was followed by a group hug.

After their breakfast, everyone moved towards their rooms. While Zubin decided to talk to his mom about everything. Imara took Abraham with her as she wanted to talk to him. Zubin moved towards her mom's room and entered inside to see her mom reading a book.

"Mumma I want to talk to you", said Zubin softly. Listening to him she knew Imara has done her work. She patted the bed beside her and asked him to sit. "Say! I know finally my boy agreed on getting married. I so knew that you will listen to Imara", said mom. "Mumma I had a talk with Imara and she said that you don't mind me having a love marriage? You said that you are okay with my choice?", asked Zubin.

"Yes zubii, I am fine with your choice too. But I am sure you don't have anyone in your life because I have not seen you with anyone in the last few years. So you agreed on getting married right? Should I start finding a good bride for my baby?, asked mom.

"No Mumma, you don't have to find the bride", said Zubin.

"What does this mean? Are you not ready for marriage?", Asked mom.

"Mumma I don't want to marry now! I am here to tell you the truth. I love someone and if I Marry then it's only with her or no one at all", explained Zubin softly. Listening to him his mom was shocked as well as happy that his son has someone in his life. "Who's the girl? You never introduced your girlfriend to me? Why are you not ready for marriage? You proposed her for marriage?", questioned mom.

"Mumma Mumma, listen carefully! I love someone but it's not that easy. She is not even my girlfriend yet! How can I propose her for marriage?", said Zubin. "So you met her at this wedding? And you haven't proposed her thinking it's too fast?", questioned mom. "No Mumma, I know her for the past 8 years. I have committed a mistake 8 years back and I am paying for it", said Zubin with tear in his eyes.

Seeing tears in his eyes, mom was shocked because she knew that his son has never cried. He never cried for anything and anyone but here he is crying for a girl shocked her to the core. But then listening to him saying that he committed a mistake she was afraid that what has his impulsive son done. "What have you done Zubin? Did you hurt anyone?", questioned mom afraid to hear the answer.

"Yes, mom! I hurt the only person who loved me to the core and then today I realized that I love her a lot. But what I did 8 years back is coming back to me! She doesn't trust me. She is changed, mom. She loves me but she is not the same. I played with her feelings and see God is punishing me for the same. Mumma, I realized my mistake but it's too late. She doesn't trust me and above that, she has some secret, she says that would tear us apart and would not us be together. I love her too much mom. I'll die if she leaves me", said Zubin Hugging her and crying his heart out.

"Zubin can I please ask who the girl is? Do Imara know about it? She knows the girl and her secret? Is she friends with that girl?", questioned mom. "Mumma I am telling you who the girl is but you promise me that you won't be angry? And you won't take her away from me?" Said Zubin hesitantly. "No Zubin, if your love is true then no one is going to take her away from you", explained mom.

"Mom it's... it's Im..ma..ra! Yeah it's Imara I did all this with her", said Zubin spluttering. Listening to him she was shocked. She couldn't believe it in her nightmare too. The girl who was more than a daughter to her was hurt by her own son. They were always tagged as best friends but she didn't know what was happening behind her back. She now understood why all of a sudden Imara left. She was ashamed that her son did this with her daughter.

" Zubin you did this? I can't believe that my own blood can play with a girl's feelings. I am ashamed to be your mother. And I have decided that you are getting married to the girl of my choice. You are not going anywhere near Imara. You will hurt her again. How could you be so inhuman?", Declared mom angrily.

Listening to her Zubin was afraid that what if his mom takes Imara away. He wouldn't be able to live. He was ready to beg in front of anyone for his love. "Mom you can't do this to me! Please I beg in front of you. I'll not hurt her again I promise. Please just give me one chance", begged Zubin. Listening to him she decides to give him one chance. He immediately hugged his mom thanking her for giving him a chance and assured her that he will not do anything wrong to Imara.
