To My Heart

Chapter 5~Embracing The Past

Fanaa's POV.

Today as I woke up this morning Naina and Rahman were already up.

He left for work after eating quickly and she was about to leave after eating breakfast with me.

"why didn't you take a day or week off? You knew I was coming" I asked her.

"I'm sorry I tried but you know how it is when you're a doctor, we can barely take days off I'm sorry"

"it's okay it's not your fault, the breakfast is delicious by the way!" I complimented.

"thank you!"

After a small talk she took her stuff leaving me alone in her house with some leftovers from last night in the fridge and a bunch of snacks.

She said I could always call or text her around 12pm but not after because that's the only time she's free.

I'm about to die from boredom!

I literally can't do anything and contact no one because everyone is busy. Literally everyone.

Sitting in the kitchen I opened my laptop and started working a bit on some stuff.

Time passed by when the bell suddenly rang.

I ran to open it and to my surprise it was Ahmed.

"hey!" he said with a smile.

"They're not home if you came to see them" I said.

"I'm here to see you"

"oh"

"get ready I'll be waiting in the car" he suddenly says.

Wait what?

"what do you mean?"

"don't question just come I need to show you something" he said pushing me to go get ready.

What is he even doing?

How can he think I'll be following him?

What's your intentions?

Fine I'll follow you just to see what it is that you want to show me.

I got ready and soon I was in his car and driving to a certain destination.

"you're looking really pretty" he said throwing a glance at me.

What the?

"just focus on the road" I said rolling my eyes.

He's just trying to play around.

" how was it living without me all this time? Not too hard I hope"

What he said made me uncomfortable and almost had tears in my eyes.

It was not easy at all.

How can he just ask me that like that?

"good, really good" I lied.

I'm not going to tell him what I went through all alone. He wasn't there for a reason.

"I see..." he seemed disappointed.

" I looked for you everywhere.." he says.

Why would you even?

I didn't say anything because I didn't know what to say and what was the point of it.

We arrived at a place. It was a huge house.

Why are we here?

"where are we?" I ask him as we both get out of the car.

"this is my new place"

What?

"your new place?"

"I sold the other one and bought this one"

"why?" I couldn't stop myself from asking.

The other was a pretty good house.

"too many memories of you were attached to it and it... made me suffer being all alone there without you so I decided to let it in the past and move on"

So I guess we both moved on.

Somehow it made my heart react oddly when he said "let it in the past and move on".

"why are we here?" I ask.

"because I want my new beginnings to start with the one I love"

What is he saying?

Stop playing games.

" listen Ahmed-"

"let me show you inside!" he said grabbing my hand and dragging me inside.

This is not okay at all.

Why did I even accept to come with him?!

We got inside and as expected it was a great sight to see.

He showed every place and I just kept gazing in amaze and nodding at what he would say.

"and that's the last room that I want to show you" he said as he opened the door.

The moment I stepped in my eyes got wide and I couldn't believe it.

The room was more like an art gallery of paintings of me?!

Who painted this?

Why is there room like this?

The paintings were pretty but I don't get it.

"what is..."

"I want it to have you around me even if you were not.."

I couldn't hold it in no more.

I turned to him with anger on my face.

"are you insane?! Why would you do that?"

"what do you mean? I did this bec-"

"you don't need to do that! you can't force someone to come back to you and pretend that nothing happened mister Ahmed Khan!" I cut him off.

"I hoped we both left the past behind us.."

"what?! No freaking way! Oh my Allah! I can't with you I've had enough of this for today I'm out!" I said walking out the room but he grabbed my arm.

"don't run away" he said.

I turned to him pushing his hand away from me.

"don't pretend and mostly stop involving me in your life" I said before leaving for good.

I actually can't believe this.
