Light in the Dark

Chapter 12.

Zara's P.O.V

I tried to open my eyes but failed. It felt like someone had put 100 kg of weight on my eyes.

I heard the beeping sound it was irritating me. My whole body was feeling numb. I tried to open my eyes again and this time I was successful until the harsh light made me close my eyes again making me groan.

"Zara.." Someone whispered. It was an familiar voice.

"Water." my throat was dry. "Here" someone helped me to sit and made me drink water. I opened my eyes after sipping on water just to see the most beautiful eyes staring back at me with love and concern.

I smiled at him "Ayaan." I whispered in that moment he pulled me into a hug.

"I am sorry Zara...I am so sorry..." he started apologizing.

"Shhhh... Please just stay still." I needed him. I felt complete with him this close to me. We sat their hugging each other silently.

A knock on the door broke our little moment. I am not in hospital. I am in my own house.

"Come in." Ayaan ordered.

"Sir, Mr.Smith had called you to police station." an unknown guy informed him and left.

Ayaan stood up and wore his jacket ready to go.

"Where do you think you are going...???" I asked him folding my hands on my chest.

"Police had caught Zeeshan. I need some answers." He explained.

"Ok give me a minute, I am coming with you." unwrapping myself from the tangled blanket I made my way towards the closets not to forget the dizziness I masked.

"But..." he started but I glared at him.

"No arguements." he put his hands up in surrender and walked out of the room.

After good 20 minutes we reached at the place where I can get all my answers. Ayaan parked the car and we entered into the office I guess which was of Mr. Smith's.

"Hello, its Ayaan. I have a meeting with Mr. Smith." Ayaan greeted the lady, I guess personal secretary of Mr. Smith. She nodded her head and made a call. She was professional which was something new because nowadays most of the Personal secretaries throw themselves on rich guys.

After a while she told us to go in. "Hello Mr. Smith." Ayaan said getting his attention.

"Oh, hello Mr and Mrs Ayaan." he smiled at us. I smiled at him and nodded my head in acknowledgement.

He stood up and came toward us. "We should meet him now. Are you both ready..??" He asked looking at us. We both nodded and followed him out of his office.

He opened the door of the room beside his office which was guarded by two huge muscular men. The room was dark with only the bulb illuminating the shadow of a person who sat under it.

Zee was sitted on the chair with the handcuffs. His eyes were bloodshot red, a maniac smile appeared on his face when he saw us approaching.

Ayaan's hand turned into fist his jaw clenched ready to pounce on Zee. I took a hold of his hand intertwining our fingers he looked at our adjoining hands and than at me. He squeezed my hand and smiled at me.

We both sat on the chair across Zee. He gave us a creepy smile which we ignore.

"Say the truth Zeeshan...truth and only truth..." Ayaan started.

"Are you sure...???" He asked and laughed evilly.

"Yes I am sure now start speaking before I change my mind and kill you in this instant." I squeezed his hand to calm him down.

"Ok than...I don't want anyone to interrupt me...if someone did than I will never tell the truth. Am I clear...???" he said rather seriously. We nodded.

"So Ayaan, do you remember our farewell day at college when you proposed Hina...???" He asked and Ayaan nodded his head with confusion written on his face.

"I had a crush on her. Or you can say I loved her..."

"How dare you to.." Ayaan stood up to hit him but Zeeshan stopped him by raising his handcuffed hands.

"Don't interrupt me Ayaan... what was I saying...?? Yes, I loved her but she said yes to you which made me jealous..." I can see the anger pain hurt flashing in his eyes.

"But when you both got married and you were not giving her time because of your business trips I was their for her and that's when she confessed her love for me..."

"Stop lying you son of b...!!! Don't you dare to stain the character of my deceased wife." Ayaan yelled at him. His eyes blazing fire.

"Its your wish..." he was about to get up but I stopped him.

"No please no Zeeshan. Please tell the truth..." I literally begged him he smirked at me and sat back on his seat making himself comfortable. I motioned the gaurds to go out except Mr.Smith.

"Someone is curious hunnn..." he smirked looking at me.

"Cut the crap and get over with it already." Ayaan yelled at him.

"Ok ok! Calm down tiger. Where was I.? Yeah Hina. Hina loved me. So we both started hanging out more whenever you were not in the country. But one day we did it..." I saw Ayaan he balled his fist and closed his eyes.

I can feel the hurt he was going through so I decided to stop Zeeshan.

"Stop it Zeeshan we don't want to hear it." I got up from my seat but Ayaan pulled me back and asked him to continue.

"Come on man I am not here to see your dramas now listen to it this is the last warning.... so it happened when you were in Pakistan when your grandmother died. Well at that time Hina got pregnant." I gasped.

Ayaan's P.O.V

I was trying to digest all the things he was saying. "Come on man I am not here to see your dramas now listen to it this is the last warning.... so it happened when you were in Pakistan when your grandmother died. Well at that time Hina got pregnant." I was shocked devastated.

"Ham...mz...za..." I asked him. If she was pregnant with him that means

"Hamza is mine...but I hate him..." I saw the anger in his eyes. "Why do you hate him...!!" I heard Zara snap at him.

"Because of him Hina died...!!!" He snapped back at her. I was sitting and listening to the game of my life which was played by my wife and my best friend.

"What do you mean...??" Zara aasked him again.

"She got pregnant after that we stopped meeting with each other. She was afraid of Ayaan finding out. But when she gave birth to him you thought it was yours. We both were happy that we both can live together without the burden of child. When that accident took place Hina was coming to me leaving you and that child. We had decided to settle down in Australia, away from you. I had even booked our tickets. But she got into that accident. I went to the accident spot and removed her bags from the car. I decided to put her belongings back to your house. You were at the hospital so the house was empty. I broke into your house and arranged everything." I was lost of words.

He continued "I had decided to take revenge from you and thats why that day I had tried to kill Hamza and Zara by burning your house down but failed. I had already threatened Zara that if she will not do as I say then I will kill you and this poor lady loves you so much that she can't risk your life. I was getting both the things happiness by seeing you angry because of your love for Zara and pleasure of her body...She is so damn ho..." punch. I pounced on his and started punching him.

"Stop it." Zara yelled and gaurds came rushing in.

"I will kill you." all I can see was red. I punched him hard once more breaking his nose before leaving him.

"You will loose her too Ayaan. Confess your feelings before its too late." He yelled and smiled at me before the guards dragged him out.

Do I really love her...??? I asked myself and hugged Zara who was already crying.
