Those 5 minutes - Page 34/135

Yesterday was a night of its kind. Jai and zia talked for the whole night. Literally the whole night. Jai was sitting in his verandah excusing himself for the scorching heat inside home.. which he and his brother generally do at times. And zia was anyways alone at home. It was asif God himself had made arrangements for these special moments for the love birds..

They chatted asif they were knowing each other from ages. They talked about their interests, hobbies, dreams, career and families. Zia told him how her childhood had bitter memories of her dad abusing her mom. Mom would then leave the house at midnight only to return the next day when her dad had left for office. She told jai about those lonely dark nights where a little 6 year old zia would cry under the bedsheet staring at the bedroom door, hoping for her mom to return.. jai attentively listened to everything zia was saying. He was the only one with whom zia was so comfortable talking about her personal life..

'We dint realise jai.. it's 6clock... And am still laying on the couch.' Zia was amused.. 'Yes my princess' jai said. 'Aaha .. princess?' 'Your life is mine from this day on... though i am no where near a king.. but I'll make sure you live like a princess sweety.. ' zia smiled .. 'I don't want to be a princess jai. I just want to be with you.. forever.. Love u jai.. thank you for coming in my life' 'yes dear. U are forever mine... chal meet you at bharat cafe at 10. No excuses. And zia.. dont tie your hair..' 'Haha.. pagal.. chal bye.'
