Belong To Each Other

Jenny's point of view...

   Zain had said nothing since Dr Emmanuel left and I did not even know how to make him snap out of the situation he is in. We are back in his room. 

  "Zain, darling, you can't be like this. You know the situation is not bad as you make it seem"

   I said nugling him on the shoulders. He said nothing but to stare blankly. His eyes seem like they have lost their spark, more like he is the shadow of himself. 

"Zain? love? Are you listening to me at all?"

I asked him but still he didn't move.

"Zain dear" I said again, taking his hand. I gave him a small smile then kissed his palm and afterwards, looked into his eyes.

   It felt like ages since I've seen his eyes. The color was back but they seemed dull, lifeless. I couldn't take my eyes off them

   Something has happened, of course I know what has happened. Lies had happened, betrayal had happened. There is nothing more painful than being betrayed by the ones we trust and love.

It hurts so much and I didn't know what else to do except to comfort him. I brought his hand close to my heart and continued talking.

"I am sorry this is happening but it's not so bad, you can still be a father? It might not be now but soon enough."

A low chuckle escaped his mouth and he looked away,

   "You think he did not say that to make me feel better. I mean what do you expect from a best friend who has the effrontery to sleep with my wife and still hid a something like that from me."

His tone was harsh as it reflected in him but at the same time, his voice trembled. He looked so broken. His voice cracked and tears were forming in his eyes.

There was silence between us then, the room became quiet.

"Then we go for a check up and maybe take that vacation you talked about, we will do anything that will help you heal. Seeing you like this breaks me, my love" I whispered in his ear, my nose brushing his as I did.

  He remained silent but squeezed my hand, I smiled knowing I had gotten through to him at least a little.

  "My situation might not be so bad but I am just hurt. It hurts so bad. I did not offend anyone but you so if I should get a punishment, it should be from you"

   Suddenly he moved, pulled me closer and hugged me tightly. He buried his face in my hair, hugging me tightly. I returned the embrace, I never really saw Zain show any kind of emotion except these few days.

  He really needs a break.

'I understand but we can't do anything. Knowing the truth is better because we can seek a solution. I believe there is a reason for everything, we just have to see the good in all of these. I know I am sounding selfish right now but I don't how it would have been for me to bear the thought you had kids with other women"

  I whispered and he held me tighter.

  'I am sorry my dear, my actions had really given your reasons to walk away from me but you are still here. Thanks dear, I will cherish you forever"

I nodded. We needed not to say more. I rocked him to and from, assuring him that our love is infinity. I die here with him.

   Our love will be eternal.

And in that moment, I knew. Nothing could separate our love.

 Not time or space nor death. Our life will always belong to each other.

   As long as I have breath and my heart beats, I will stay with Zain for whatever time I still have left to live. 

We both sat there in silence until Zain calmed down a little then finally broke away from me "I am tired, I need to get some sleep."

He said getting himself comfortable on the bed.

  "Are you joining me?"

He asked after seeing I was not making an attempt to join him.

  "No, let me leave you to rest. I will go prepare dinner for you" 

I said standing up and kissing his forehead.

  "Alright!"

Was his simple response and he closed his eyes.

    I rose up to my feet and strengthened my dress, took a last glance at him then left the room.

   Once I was outside the door, my expression changed from sweetness to annoyance. I hate it when people do things without thinking about how it will affect others 

  Lizzy Chelsea should have thought it through before she came here to pin a pregnancy on someone.

  I clenched my fist and headed to the guest room.

  She needs to leave right now, her days have expired.
