As Alina was entering her house, she heard her parents talk and started eavesdropping.
"I still can't believe how Alina found him. He's so faithful to her even when she doesn't remember him at all." Aanya sighed
"I think I'm not a good person, Aanya. I've hurted my daughter a lot by not accepting her choice." Rehan was emotionally drained after Sehban left crying.
'Who are they talking about.. Who's faithful to me and who's my choice? I don't remember anything. They won't tell me even if I ask. I'll just pretend that I didn't hear anything.'
"Mom, dad.. how are you both? I missed you so much." Said Alina while hugging her parents.
"We missed you too, my little girl." Said Aanya while pinching her daughter's cheeks. Happiness evident on her face.
"How are you dad?", She asked as she bowed her head down a little to give him respect.
"I'm as good as ever, my girl. How are you doing? I saw that you're entering foreign market."
"Yes dad. The work is processing in its own pace. I don't really want to rush it." She answered.
"Mamma, where's my baby? Where's my son?" She asked looking around.
"Call him and he'll be on his toes for you."
"Baby, my baby, where are you? Come to Momma."
And soon came her 4year old American Mau.
She held her cat in her arms and started nuzzling his neck.
****
She gasped loudly and turned to the guy sitting beside her with a horrific expression on her face as if she had just encountered a major catastrophe.
"What happened? Are you alright?", Asked the guy worriedly.
"Where will my baby stay after our wedding?", She asked as tears brimmed her eyes.
"Alina, you can bring him to our home. As your parents want to give me dowry and I don't really need and want anything from them. You can bring your baby as your dowry." He suggested.
"I love you, Sehban. I don't think there is another person like you on the whole earth. You are my superman." She tried to hug him while saying but he cautiously moved a little away from her to which he received a smack on his arm.
"Oww! Alina your hands hold the power of a body builder. Don't you again hit me." Sehban said as he started rubbing his arm.
****
Alina came back to reality where her cat was trying to move out of her arms. She let him go.
'We were closer than I thought but why can't I remember all of it at once.'
"Mom, I had dinner. I'll go and sleep. I'll probably be visiting office tomorrow for a few hours. Let's have lunch together tomorrow and dinner as well."
"Isn't it that you have off days on weekends?" Her mother's tone annoyed.
"I have a few things to take care of. Good night mom." saying which she went to her room with her cat.
'Who were they talking about.' she thought as she tossed and turned in her bed to get some rest.
'Ah! How can I forget. It must be Sehban. Yes, it is surely Sehban. But why don't they tell me anything about him. I remember that they told me everything I forgot after I recovered. But they never took his name. Why are they hiding him from me..'
