When Atif arrived home he found Haya in their room sleeping.
Atif felt relief.
But Atif got nervous when he saw the flyers on the floor. The flyers contain the prices of the tickets going to Asian countries.
He was sitting on the bed beside Haya. Too disappointed. Thinking that what he thought about Haya a while ago is true.
He thinks that Haya really bought a ticket and is about to leave him again.
Maybe because they always misunderstand each other lately so she decided to leave him again.
But Atif won’t allow that thing to happen.
Haya was awake from deep slumber. He felt that someone was sitting beside her.
When she opened her eyes she saw Atif.
When Atif sees that Haya is awake he begins confronting her about the flyers that he saw on the floor.
“What is this flyer all about?” Atif begins to ask Haya about it.
“It’s just nothing.” Haya answered.
“Are you sure? It’s just nothing. Or you are planning to leave me?” Atif asked.
“What are you talking about? What do you mean?” Haya asked Atif. Confusion crosses on her lovely face.
If she only knew that that piece of paper will make Atif doubt her again she did not ignore it and throw it instantly on the trash.
“Did you forget what I’ve always told you? I mean it Haya. Dare to pack your things and get ready to go if you want to see your father in a problematic situation.” Atif said in a voice full of authority.
While inside of him he is shaking and all he wants is to just get down on his knees and beg Haya not to go.
But he never dares to do that because Haya won’t listen to him if he stops her from leaving in that way. It’s much better to show her that he is angry so that she will stay.
Haya gets some papers from her bag to show it to Atif. She wanted to show those papers to Atif thinking that it will help her explain to Atif why she went home early this afternoon. That is her medical result.
But before she can give it to Atif she hears him talking again, raising his voice to her.
“Haya do you hear me?” Atif asked in an angry manner.
Haya gets a little bit annoyed this time so she shouts back to Atif.
“Fine! You win. You’ve changed a lot. I hate you!” Haya shouts at Atif while throwing the papers that she is holding on Atif’s face.
The papers fall on the floor.
Then Haya rushed to get inside the bathroom and cried.
Atif didn’t get the paper that Haya throw on his face.
Hearing her words Atif felt too much emotional pain but that pain is bearable rather than the pain that will be caused when Haya walks out of his life again.
Atif hears Haya cry a lot, throwing anything that she was able to grab.
Hearing Haya cries make him weak.
Atif take a deep breath and go on to the balcony of their room.
Atif was feeling too cold when he stepped on the balcony for the cold wind blow hard with some snowflakes falling.
It’s winter again.
Almost one year had passed. Tomorrow is their wedding anniversary but they are still fighting again.
Atif sat down on the floor of the balcony, leaning on the wall.
Allowing the snowflakes to fall over him.
Then he closed his eyes and let the tears fall freely.
Those tears that he held back with all his might so that he would not cry in front of Haya.
He will not cry in front of Haya to show her that he is not that the same little boy that he left before.
The little boy who can do nothing when she walked away, and walk out in his life a long time ago.
This time it would be different he will do everything just to make her stay because Haya is not just his friend now. They are husband and wife so he has all the rights in doing so.
But Atif gets too surprised when he feels that there is someone touching his face and wiping his tears.
When Atif opens his eyes. He sees Haya sitting in front of him.
He composed himself immediately.
“What are you doing here? Don’t touch me.” Atif said. Then he quickly remove the hands of Haya away from his face. Then start pretending that he is angry.
But the truth is he is just trying to hide the pain he felt inside. He doesn’t want to show it to Haya.
“I’m sorry, Atif. I didn’t mean it.” Haya said.
“Alright.” Atif answered.
Haya can see how far away the look in his eyes.
Atif do that because he don’t want to look on Haya’s face. He don’t want to talk to Haya. He don’t want to make Haya cry again if he can say something that will hurt her feelings.
Haya handed to Atif the papers that she threw on Atif’s face a while ago.
Atif read what that document is about.
He saw that it is an ultrasound of a 6 weeks old baby inside a mother’s womb.
Atif feels so glad it means that Haya is pregnant.
And that is the reason why Haya went out today late afternoon without waiting for him because he is at the board meeting. She just went to a clinic.
Atif regret that he just gets angry easily when he finds out that Haya leaves the office early. He gets angry without knowing the reason first. He let himself carried away by the thought that Haya is planning to leave him again.
“I will never leave you. I’m pregnant. I won’t make the same mistake that your mother did to your father. I will not let our child suffer the same thing that you suffered when you are young. I will not make the same mistake that my parents did. Give up on each other and leave each other without considering that they have a child that will be left abandoned. I don’t want our child suffer the feelings of being abandon and rejected like what I felt when my parents got divorce.” Haya said.
Hearing those words from Haya Atif feel so glad. All he can say is thank you that finally Haya will stay.
“Thanks Haya.” Atif said. A sweetest smile crossed his face, revealing his pure white teeth.
Then he embraced Haya tight.
Atif can’t believe his dream come true. That Haya choose to stay.
After all that they’ve been through they meant to be forever.
After that conversation Atif’s attitude went back to normal because he is nothing to worry about. Haya didn’t attempt anymore to leave him again. She promise to stay.
Then few months had passed.
Atif’s grandfather, Haris formerly turn over his position to Atif.
Finally Atif becomes the Chief Executive Officer of H&A Summit Holdings Inc.
Its undeniable the Atif is a son of Alem.
He run the H & A Summit Holdings Inc. as the way his late father did.
Winters ended and spring time came.
Haya gave birth to a son.
Atif can say that his life is so complete now that he had his own family that he is wishing for so long.

Author’s note
Dear Readers,
Thank you for reading my book.
Hope you gain some insights after reading my work.
Some insights that you can learned from the novel. What you can learned after reading the story:
“When love is truly right. It lives from year after year. It changes as it goes but it never disappears.”
“In life there are things or situations that some persons wants to leave behind. They’ve tried to walk away. But deep inside they’ve known one day they’d be back to set things straight. Because every memory repeats, every step they take retreats, every journey always brings them back to the same situation.”
“Anxiety is the poison in human life. The act of overthinking can lead to psychological problems such as anxiety and depression. Overthinking can cause your mental health to decline. Mental health decline means a period of poor mental health. A person unexplainable mood changes, unusual actions, dramatic shifts in emotions, inability to cope with problems, or erratic behavior.”
“Falling in love to those person with psychological disorder is a hardest thing. A mental patient behaves in a wildly unpredictable manner, happy and kind one minute and angry and shouting the next.”
“Make promises only if you know how to keep them well.”
