Anabia's POV

It was ZAIN.

"Thank you for taking care of me." He said,staring right into my eyes.

"Y-You are welcome." I said averting my gaze from him. God why did I had to stutter?

How in the world did he know that it was me? Oh it's so obvious! Shahina has taken a day off and it was just me!

Way to embarass yourself,Anabia!

I could still feel his intense gaze on me. As if he's trying to search something but couldn't find it.

"Do I make you nervous?" He suddenly asked.

"N-No" Gosh! I wasn't suppossed to stutter!

"Then what's with the stuttering?" He asked followed by a deep chuckle.

Oh,that chuckle!

I looked at him only to find him staring at me. I looked everywhere but him!

What the hell is with him and staring? Hasn't he ever seen any lady in his life? I am sure he has seen better than me!

I mustered up the courage and looked at him in his eyes. He smirked and left.

What did just happen?

Zain's POV

It finally hit me! The person who treated my wounds has to be my wife. But the question is why would she do it? I was pretty rude with her and I also insulted her. Still? Why would she care? My mind was too occupied with these thoughts. I just wanted to go home and yell the pathetic self out of her. How dare did she enter my room? Didn't I say her to stay out of my matters? She thought she'd get my attention by doing this or that I'll thank her and apologize to her for my rude behaviour? No ways! I cancelled all my meetings and went home.

I loathed her!

As I reached home,I went to her room straight. I knocked but there was no answer. So I opened the door and was welcomed by silence. I went downstairs and towards the backyard.

There I saw her.

Beautiful.

All off my anger and hate flew out of the window when I saw her. Her feet dipped in pool and her eyes were closed.

Mesmerising.

I didn't want to be caught gawking at her so I cleared my throat to get her attention. She turned and saw me. She quickly got out of the pool.

"Thank you for taking care of me" I said confidently,staring right into her eyes.

"Y-You are welcome" She replied. I could sense that she is nervous. I tried to search some fakeness in her voice,in her eyes. But I found none. She seemed pure.

"Do I make you nervous?"

"N-No" She stuttered again. It was amusing.

"Then what's with the stuttering?" I chuckled. She averted her gaze and after a few seconds she looked directly into my eyes. I seemed to be drawn into the pool of those brown eyes.

She is mine.

I smirked at her and left. Yes,I belong to the kind of people who believe in 'Love in first sight.' But I knew I had hurt her in the past. It was evident on her face. I need to correct that mistake.

But before that there is something else I need to do.

And that is to find answers.

Why did she marry me?

Where did dad find her?

Why didn't she leave when I insulted her?

Why didn't she confront me about my actions?

Why did she take care of me?

And only one person has the answer to all the questions.

Dad.

I need to talk to him. I need my answers. I am gonna drive over to his place tomorrow and get my answers. I wasn't hungry. I took my shower amd started on replying emails. Soon,my eyes started to feel heavy and I drifted off to sleep.

"Dad! Dad!" I yelled from the living room.

"What a surprise,Zain." He spoke scarcastically.

"Dad! I need answers"

"Answers? To what?"

"Where did you find her? How did you convince her to marry me?"

He looked away

"Dad!"

"Okay Okay I'll say. You see...her family needed financial help and her dad's surgery was to be done as soon as possibe and I told that I could help her and in return she'd have to marry you and she agreed." He explained.

"What!? Dad seriously? How could you get someone married to a stranger?"

"My instincts told that she is right for you." He shrugged.

"You are unbeliveable dad!" I shook my head and left after yelling a 'Goodbye'.

•••

How would I mend things with her? All day I was thinking about this and finally it was time to leave. I drove home and took a shower. I thought of a perfect plan. I knocked on her room door but she didn't answer. So I went to the backyard. There she was. Staring at the sky. I cleared my throat and she looked at me.

"I need to tell you something." I said and a hint of fear flashed on her face. But she regained her composure and looked at me with full attention. Taking her silence as hint,I continued,"I am sorry. Sorry for the way I treated you. I didn't know the reason of you marrying me and I assumed things. I am really sorry." I looked at her. I was actually guilty.

I was taken by surprise when she shot me a smile.

"It's Okay" She said

"It's okay?'' I doubted. Like I mean how could she forgive me so easily for the things I did to her. No one would,right?

"I don't like to hold grudges against people. Especially after knowing their remorse." She smiled.

"Well,I wanna make it up to you. Can I take you for a dinner tomorrow?"

"Are you asking me out on a date?" She giggled.

"Do you have any problem,wifey?" I winked at her.

"Nope." She tried to hide her blush.

"Then be ready by 8." With that,I left.
