"O..Oliver?" she asked ,not believing her eyes. She touched his cheek to make sure that he is real.
"This.…this is not real!" she whispered. She felt her vision getting blurry and everything blanked out.
Oliver carried her in his hands and took her to their room. He made her lay down and sat down beside her. His one hand went to her head and he started patting her head and his other hand took Esther's hand in his.
Zain stood behind him, looking at her and her 'husband'. His heart ached seeing this scene. He wanted to cry out loud and break all the things in the room,but he couldn't. He couldn't even move hands. He stood there like a statue. Tears started welling up in his eyes, threatening to fall.
"Who are you?" this question brought him back from his thoughts.
"Huh?"
"I'm sure that I have seen you before! But I don't…"
"I am an actor."
"Ahh.. Zain!"
"Mm.. yeah!"
"How do you know Esther?"
"Uhh…."
Zain was struggling to answer at this time Esther woke up. Oliver helped her to sit up and gave her a glass of water. All this time, she kept on staring at Oliver with mixed emotions in her eyes.
"Oli… how.." Esther didn't knew how to ask him.
"I woke up 3 days ago. The nurse there told me everything !"
"What?"
"She told me that I was in Coma for 5 weeks and aslo that you gave birth to a baby girl! I am a bit sad that you didn't came to visit me, but I can understand! You have to take care of our little baby, right? So I thought that I would suprise you! Where is my daughter? I want to see her so badly!"
Esther couldn't digest these informations. He is back after 6 years, thinking that only 5 months passed and also that his daughter is alive.
'Should I reveal the truth to him?' Esther thought.
'No, he won't be able to take it! I have to figure it out first!'
"I missed you honey! It's been only five months and I feel like I have been away from you for years! I'm sorry, I couldn't hold your hands while you were giving birth to our child like I promised. Now tell me where is our little princess? Is she like you or me? Don't tell me now! Let me see her!"
"She… she is… not here.."
"Is she with mom?"
"Umm.. yeah… yeah!"

Zain was driving back to his apartment. He was lost in his own world.
'Oliver is back! What should I do? He is her … husband! Then what about me? I don't even stand a chance in front of him . He loves her and she … she loves him a lot, a lot! She mourned over his death for years! She loves him deeply!' he thought.
Tears found its way down, at the thought of losing his love of life.
