Chapter 5: Sayid
Disclaimer: I don't own LOST
A/N: Ok now we are getting to the main reason why I started this story. During One of Them, I thought that it would be wonderful for Sayid to just know that Nadia was still out there and thinking about him.. so that's the main reason why I started this fic. Here we go.
Sayid saw the looks that the other three had on their faces when they had come back. Obviously, it had not been good news for any of them. He was hoping that he could see Nadia. He just needed to know how she was. If she had moved on, then that would be ok. He had moved on too, with Shannon. A pang of grief went through his heart as he thought of Shannon. If only she hadn't gone chasing after Walt.. no he wasn't going to let himself go into the if onlys again.
Nadia. Sayid concentrated and went in.
He was in a restaurant, and in front of him, was Nadia. She was in a pretty black dress with a man on the other side of the table dressed in a tux.
The man had just said something to make Nadia laugh. Sayid hadn't heard her laugh in yards
"Nadia." The man said softly and grabbed her hands. "I want to know if you want to get more serious in our relationship."
Nadia appeared uncomfortable. "How serious Nathan?"
"Well. I want to marry you. But I know if I ask now you will say no. So I don't know really."
"Nathan I.."
"We've been going out now for what? Six months? And in that time we haven't made much progress. I love you Nadia."
"I know you love me. I love you too. But you know I can't commit to marriage or even go more serious right now."
"Why not? Can't you move on now Nadia? It's been a year. You can't live your life expecting for Sayid to suddenly be alive."
Nadia was tearing up. " I know. I know. I just.. I love him Nathan. He loves me. What if we get married and then he comes back?"
"Well…" Nathan looked slightly offended. "I don't know. I think that if you married me that that would be a sign that you moved on and so he would just have to deal with it and move on too. You really think that if he is alive and somewhere that he didn't move on? What if he decided to move on wherever he is? How would you feel?"
Nadia was crying now. "I suppose I should feel happy for him. He was able to move on when I couldn't. I know I should move on. It is so difficult."
"Wouldn't Sayid want you to be happy? I don't think Sayid would want you to live like this."
"I-I guess I can try Nathan. You have been so good to me. I shouldn't do this to you. I don't want you to wait for me to know for certain if Sayid is gone. And I mean I don't even know if Sayid still feels the same way I do about him,. So I suppose I could move on and ---"
Sayid was sucked back into reality. He had mixed feelings about what had just happened. Nadia was having a hard time moving on. At first, it had been hard for him to move on too, but he was able to do it. Shannon had been such a wonderful girl. For Nadia's sake, he hoped she moved on with this Nathan guy and he hoped that Nathan would treat her the way she deserved.
Sayid had immediately started back to the others afterwards and so by this time he was there.
"Can we go home now?" A sad Charlie asked.
"Yes Charlie. " Sayid said, and patted Charlie on the shoulder.
The three were silent as they made their way back home, for they realized that the people on this island were their family now and they did consider this home.
Sayid was trying to debate whether to tell everyone else about the pond. He was sure that Jack would probably tell Locke. Of course he wasn't all that sure. Jack didn't seem very happy with what he had seen. Sayid would have to ask Jack if he should tell everyone.
A/N: Ok there was Sayid. Filler chapter coming up and then someone else will be going to the pond.
