Falak's POV
.
I couldn't help myself from thinking about Klaus and everything that happened. It was still hard to believe that in the last twenty-four hours, my life had been changed upside down.
I came across my kidnapper!
I came to know about my mysterious lover.
I came to know about the reason about that why he hid everything from me?
I met my father.
I finally knew that there were five members in my family, including me—mom, dad, Mayan, and Saira.
I even decided to leave Klaus.
And that's the reason I was lying on the bed, doing nothing except staring at the ceiling. Since It was already midnight, I couldn't ask dad to tell me more about my family members because even he needed to get some sleep, right?
"Damnit, it was easy to say but too hard to keep my mind away from him.", I groaned, tossing my phone away from me because, at this moment, all I wanted to do was call him or text him. I was missing him badly. After a while, I picked up my phone again and texted Ashley.
"Slept? Because I'm not feeling sleepy at all."
"Same here! That devil snatched my sleep from me."
"What happened? What did Jacob do?"
"You won't believe it."
"Until you will tell me."
"He must have found it out that you're leaving all of a sudden, so he asked me to handle all your work from Monday onwards. This is pure torture."
"I'm sorry. I'm the reason behind it."
"Don't be sorry. I understand your situation and even that devil; otherwise, he would have forced you to stay here till the serving notice period. Or I should rephrase this situation; maybe that devil wouldn't be this generous on you if you wouldn't have been his cousin's aka brother's girlfriend."
"I'm not his girlfriend, NOT ANYMORE."
"Yeah. I know that. But I also know that you guys don't need a specific name to name your relationship.", Sh texted me back.
"Can you please talk about something else?" I asked immediately I received a call from her.
"No, Falak. I wanted to talk about it right there when you came to my home with your father, but that was not the right time and the right place.", She started speaking without any greeting. "How can you not see the pain and struggle through which HE is going through? All you care about is THAT GIRL? Do you really think that she is the only one who is going through all the pain? Not HIM?
For god sake, Falak, if SHE has lost her love, then HIS situation is worst than that. His love is alive and right in front of him, but still, he can't be with her because he's scared that his decision might put your life at stake."
"Ash! Plea..."
"Shut up! And listen to me. Just because you are more sensible compared to mean that doesn't mean your decision is right. And just because he's a man, that doesn't mean he doesn't get hurt. You only told me that he stayed by your side during your bad days. But what did you do?"
"I…I…"
"Let me tell you if you are not able to answer. 'LEFT HIM. The very first moment, YOU LEFT HIM. And because of the same reason, he was hiding things from you. Someone said it right that 'everyone wants the truth, but not everyone can digest it.'"
"What do you expect from me then? To stay with him even after knowing that he's married?"
"One doesn't need to have SEX to be with him. There are many ways of showing that 'you're with him by emotionally and mentally.' I don't support extramarital affairs because love can happen with anyone and at any moment, but yes, one should know their limit! After learning the truth, you could have stopped any type of advance in getting physical or something similar to that. But at this moment, you shouldn't have kicked him out like that. I…I feel bad for him."
I couldn't help myself from crying after listening to her.
"Hey, please don't cry. I didn't want to make you make you cry. I just…wanted to fill some sense in your head."
"I love you.", I confessed and thanked God again for sending this angel into my life.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in girls.", She said in her old dramatic voice.
"Shut up!"
"You shut up!"
"Youuuu…thank you so much, Ash!!"
"I don't need your thank you. So, keep it in your pocket. And you are really thankful, then make sure that I can get at least a few days' leaves during your cousin's marriage because I doubt that DEVIL is going to give me even a single day off."
"How can I…"
"I don't know. Maybe because this is boyfriend's company."
"Ashhh…"
"Talk with HIM.", She said on which. I didn't say anything. "I'm serious, Falak. Talk to him, at least. You two love each other, even though you haven't confessed this to him, YET." I hated to speak anything right now, knowing that she was so right.
"I still don't understand that how I can help HIM from all this mess."
"Didn't you want to find out your identity to help him? Now that you know who you are! I'm sure you will figure out something. Just don't give up on HIM. And if possible, talk with THAT girl as well. What if…what if even she is stuck in this relationship just like HIM? You won't realize your true potential until you discover yourself. Do you think that it was easy for a thirteen years old teenage kid to help you every time you needed me? I'm sure even he would have faced a lot of difficulties and problems, but HE did that just for you."
I recalled Klaus saying that how his father sent him away from this country just because he involved himself with Mafia to save me.
"So, I will suggest you again that please…please talk to him."
"Okay! Thank you again."
"Bye. Good night. I'm sure even he will be awake, so call him quickly and update me on everything in the morning."
"Yeah. Bye!"
The moment I disconnected the call. There was a message from an unknown number, but I realized whose number was that when I saw the profile picture.
It was HIS original number, I guess!
He had sent me a recording. I ran here and there to look for my Airpods and finally played the recording he had sent. For a few seconds, I couldn't hear anything.
Did something happen to my phone?
Or my Airpods were not working anymore?
Thinking this, I checked both my phone and Airpods several times. But after a while, I suddenly heard some sound.
Oh my god, was..was he crying?
