but feel him standing to the other end of the door leaning on it.

"You know I loved you when I asked you years ago". He said chuckling to himself

The reason that had him move away from his family was her. She rejected him the day he told her he likes her and the rejection never washed away for all these years.

"You told me you can't do it. I thought that the one person I grew pure feelings for didn't want me and I left not wanting you to feel uncomfortable or insult my feelings more". He said sighing, "I never once turned back all I heard about that incident was my sister. She used to say you killed bhabhi (sister in law). You know how much I liked your sister she was like my own and to know you did something like that was heartbreaking. I didn't believe at first but everything was going back to you. The way my family was so confident while you were cut out from it. I didn't even think but my brain was filled by my hurt of rejection that I let my sister words about you to grow to a level I stopped seeing anything but how my sister wanted me to".

There was a long pause, "I regret it, everything. Each day, I torture myself and wish that I haven't done all those things. That instead of my sister image of you, I remember these innocent eyes or yours and instead of her bad words I remember your soft words".

He looked deep into her beautiful eyes that had a brimmed of tears he raised his hand clearing the tears away.

"I loved you back then, Ayesha, I love you even now. But I respect you more than anything. To face everything, even me, alone on your own was nothing small. I am sorry I will say it my whole life if you want but please don't push me away from you or my children lives. I didn't completely believed you, I am wrong. But I wasn't planning to take Neil away, I promise". He said walking away

She didn't forgive him. Not now, when she trusted him and he did her wrong.

The next month, he had stayed with her every single time. Unfortunately or fortunately, her craving had increased to a level she had to had whatever she wants which also means she had to wake her husband at 3 in the morning to bring her the best ice cream which isn't in their refrigerator for her.

She was patiently waiting for him to come back with her double chocolate chip ice cream which she suddenly started liking. However, Amir, had told her that was his favourite flavour and that his child might just like him more than her which she clearly throws a spoon at him for.

"Here". Amir said sighing sitting beside her

She holds the ice cream box and the spoon she already had with a big spoon of ice cream she starting eating. Almost half the box later she realised that her husband was looking at her adorning-ly. A little blush covers her cheeks as she forwards a spoon to him but he shakes his head chuckling.

"I am sure you want it more than me. I am fine just watching you". He said smiling tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear

She smiled a genuine smile then quickly hide it away and his heart skipped a beat. This was the first smile he had received after everything. A little hope-filled his heart at her small cute smile while she goes back to enjoying the ice cream. He doesn't mind even a second of her craving because he was glad she had asked him to do something for her.

"I am here to take Neil back on behalf of my brother. Do you actually think he will ever care for you?" His sister said smirking

Ayesha stands there with a frown on her face as she saw her husband walking inside looking at his own sister confused.

"Your sister here claims she is here to take Neil away and that you do not care for me". Ayesha said sighing

She was pretty much done with his family by now. Having her own child on the way she didn't want to be under constant threat and stress.

"That is not true. I never said that, Ayesha. You have to believe me". Amir begged afraid to lose her again

Ayesha looked at her husband, "I know that Amir but I am tired of your sister constantly coming here and doing this over and over. I don't know how you are stopping her but she doesn't seem to understand it".

Amir looked at his sister angrily but before he could speak Ayesha did, "This is the last time I will say this so hear it properly. Your brother who you are out to take revenge for is a criminal who killed a human being and his wife at that. He was convicted for his crimes not because of me but because of what he did. Your younger brother did marry me for his revenge like you wanted but he was not stupid enough to not see his own brother crimes. I don't even have to explain this to you I mean your parents saw everything with their own eyes have them explain it for you maybe you will understand better but I do not want you near me, my kids or husband. If you ever create nuisance again I will report you and have you arrested too. I am done with you and done with being a centre of your revenge and immaturity so leave my house and never show yourself here again".

Her standing for herself was long due. She should have done a long time back to not allow anyone to walk over her when she wasn't wrong. She allowed that to happen and allowed people to have free access to insult and think she was weak.

She wasn't.

If she was weak she wouldn't have fought for her sister the day she died. She wouldn't have been able to take her hospital or protect her sister's child. She had done it all and she would when needed. But, she had enough of people pushing her as they want.

A week later she was sitting in the lounge holding her head as the memories of the day she was attacked came running back. She finds it hard to breathe and calms herself down.

"Ayesha?". Amir said horrified looking at her shaking, "What's wrong?. Are you hurt?".

She looked in his eyes with tears falling down. She ran towards him hugging him tightly as she cries in his arms.

"I-I am scared". She mumbles lowly

He wrapped his arms tightly around him not sure what else he could do. He moved themselves to the couch still holding her in his arms.

"Why are you scared?". He asked

"I, sometimes feel like he will come back here and attack me or hurt my children". She said sniffing

His heart clench, "He is not coming back, Ayesha. If he does, I will kill him myself. He cannot place his finger on my wife and children. If you want, we can move away from here to somewhere far so we don't have fear of our families ruining our happiness".

She agreed. They moved away to a different place to have their own peace along with their kids. She didn't forgive him for a while and he knows that. He was wrong and he did wrong to her.

He pleaded, begged and stayed with her to show in different ways that he was guilty and wanted this marriage. She didn't forgive until that one day.

They were blessed by a daughter.

She saw her daughter and she wonders things. She wonders if this man had stayed with her throughout this tough phase might just be the one for her. So for the last time, she forgives him.

To say, they both were happy was an understatement to them they each had a different kind of fears. We often commit mistakes some unforgiving that needed to reach their end while some which need patience, efforts and forgiveness when did right. Not all deserve to be forgiven. But, some special ones do.

They build their house built on love, care, respect and trust.

It was their story filled with pain but ended with happiness because they believe in each other and themselves.
