Chapter 70
Today is my 30th birthday.
I can only count the blessings around me, from a husband who would agree with me when the chase is a lot more interesting than the actual relationship. Over the years I’ve watched clingy Zafar become a cold man who’s watched himself freeze over the years, but regardless of how difficult I was, he remained faithful and steadfast beside me. That was the one thing i was undoubtedly certain about.
Our relationship, regardless of how much effort I put into chasing him away. I don’t think I’ve ever told him how much he means to me.
“ How has life been lately?” he asks handing me a coke. We were seated on the top of an abandoned building, stargazing.
“ a lot more difficult than I thought it would be.”
“ and my father, not wanting to wake up from his coma…all the children we've lost. The loss of our other halves...if I knew it was going to be this hard I would’ve begged for another hour as an 18-year-old.”
