CHapter 1o

Manum was in her room reading some fantasy novel while Zayaan went out for his meeting.Its been four hours since he was gone. Manum came downstairs and found Asfandyar bothering Anumta .Manum smiled and went to sit with them.

"OOoo hello Bhabi..where were you"??he asked her in a light tone putting his legs on the table

"Asfandyar get your legs off the table" Anumta scolded him softly

"Ok" he obeyed removing his legs .

"What were you guys doing " Manum asked casually

"Anumta was going to make big bro's favourite food but I was asking her to make what I like.But she loves big bro more so she isn't listening to me" Asfandyar complained like a child

"I love you all equally Asfandyar. Stop being a drama queen" Anumta said ruffling his hair

"Hey not the hair" Asfandyar whined

"Quit whining" Talal said as he came into the room with an apple in his hand and sat down beside Asfandyar

"So what's goin on here" He asked looking at Manum

"The food debate" Manum smiled

"Oh ,again" Talal replied taking a bite of his apple

"This has happened before" Manum asked

"It happens all the time" Said Anumta and Talal at the same time and chuckled

"Asfandyar thinks that Anumta loves big bro more" Said Talal

"Speaking of your big bro,where is he" Manum asked looking at her hands

"Ooohhh..someone is missing her husband" Asfandyar started to chuckle while Manum threw a cushion at him which he dodged and it landed on Talal's head.

"Hey!!" he complained as his apple dropped to the floor from his hands,he picked it up and glared at Asfandyar

"It not like that" Manum said embarrassed

"It is.You are blushing"

"No i am not"

"Don't worry bhabi ,apparently big bro is handling a serious issue and its pissing him off so he'll probably come late after solving the whole thing" Talal assured her

"Is everything ok" Manum asked worriedly

"Don't worry he is use to this stuff. He knows how to handle it much better then anyone of us. And yes everything is fine don't worry. But when he comes home..."

Talal left his sentence there incomplete, something clearly going on in his head

"Then what..." Manum asked curiously

Talal and Asfandyar both looked at each other with a serious expression

"Tell me" Manum insisted looking at both of them and Anumta went to the kitchen without a word

"Well whenever bro comes late after his meetings or when his deals goes a little 'not according to his expectations' lets just say its not a pretty sight to see". Talal said

"I still don't get it" Manum looked confusedly at him

"Well he has his way of taking his anger out on things,he most of the time throw things,destroys his room ,beat the shit out of a punching bag till his hands are aching and bleeding "

Manum shivered at the thought of him being this much angry 

"But now that you are here, I think he will stop himself. He will refrain himself from doing such things so you don't get scared"

"But why he behaves like that??Its just a deal". Manum questioned

"Because in our world deals are not just deals,it can destroy lives bhabi" Talal said softly 

Manum remembered Zayaan's past,how his parents got murdered because of Dada's deal ,sadness settled itself in her eyes at the thought and she shook her head

"And why won't he do it ,when I am here" She asked curious

"Its simple ,he knows you'll get scared" Talal answered smiling with all his teeth

"Oh c'mon. He will follow the usual routine,he won't stop because of bhabi" Asfandyar eye's had a mischevous glint to them

"You wanna bet" Talal raised his eyebrow challenging Asfandyar 

"Fine.Deal" Asfandyar held out his hand 

"Deal.cool " Talal shook his hand .

"If I win ,you will not take a shower for a week straight"

Talal smirked still holding Asfandyar's hand

"Eww" Manum said with a disgusting expression

"Anddd..I am not finished yet. You'll pay me too,and i already know you have a really handsome amount of cash in your wallet "Talal again smirked

"You..basta" Asfandyar was in the middle of the sentence when Manum shouted

"Don't swear"

"Sorry bhabi" Asfandyar looked at her with a sheepish look

"Fine..but if i win same goes for you " Asfandyar glared at Talal

"Yeah sure" Talal said getting up from the sofa

Manum sighed and looked at the two evil creatures getting out of the room

Around 12 Zayaan came home with anger plastered all over his face and his fists clenched 

Manum was sitting in her room on the bed reading again when the door to the room opened revealing a very angry Zayaan.

Manum got up startled and looked at his face

He came inside banged the door loudly making her flinch

He yanked his tie harshly and tossed it to the floor,he looked at the little ash tray on his bed side table and picked it up ,he was about to throw it on the wall when Manum gasped and his hand stopped in mid air

He turned around and looked around for the source of voice.His eyes landed on her with a cold hard expression.After two seconds realization hit him that he no longer lives alone and that Manum was also in the room.His eyes turned soft looking at her frightened expression .

Guilt was evident in his features when he walked towards her and she took a step back

Zayaan ran a hand through his hair putting the ash tray back on the side table and went to where she was standing

He stopped and inch away from her and caressed her cheek with the back of his hand softly

"Hey" he smiled ,but it didn't reached his eyes

"Hey" Manum smiled back looking at him 

"I...I am ..I am sorry about that.... I was angry at something else,work stuff and i jus....I am sorry". It was clear that he was controlling himself from lashing out on anything and anyone  in front of her ,his face was red with anger ,his posture was stiff .His black shirt was hugging his toned muscles perfectly ,his hair were neat and jet black

Manum looked at him with an awestruck expression. He was gorgeous,even when angry

"Manum"??? Zayaan waved his hand in front of her

"Ohh..sorry.. i zoned out... and its ok ,its fine I understand" she was still afraid as she backed away from him hesitantly .

Zayaan looked at her confusedly and asked

"Are you ok"??? 

"Yeah, I am fine"

"Are you ok" Manum asked with a guarded look in her eyes 

"Yeah  just peachy" he replied in a rough tone

Zayaan turned around and went to the bathroom to shower

Manum released the breath she didn't knew she was holding with him close to her and sat down on the bed

After half an hour Zayaan came out of the bathroom still looking pissed as hell

He went of the room without saying anything with Manum hot on his heels.

He went straight to the gym and to the punching bag ,he was about to land a punch on it when he heard her voice behind him

"Zayaan".. He turned around with wide eyes

"What are you doing here" He asked with a heated glare

"I ...i came to see you, I mean you are angry and.."

"I am fine.leave me alone" He cut her off turning around to the punching bag

"Wait...Please,you can talk to me or anyone of us about it if you want to,you don't need to bruise yourself or destroy your room" she walked to where he was standing and stood close to him

"For the last time Manum leave me alone"

"No..." she said firmly "I am not leaving you in this state"

"What state Manum I am not a kid. I can handle myself" he turned around facing her

"I can see how you are handling yourself"

"Manum..leave me the hell alone ,I don't want anyone to tell me what to do and what not to .I am not a k..." he started shouting and was in the middle of his rant when Manum moved close to him and hugged him tightly wrapping her arms around his torso

Zayaan got quiet in the same second going all stiff. His posture was tense for a minute then his muscles relaxed . They stood there for a minute silently then Zayaan slowly wrapped his arms around her burying his head in her hair ,Manum smiled 

Zayaan kissed her forehead and tucked a loose strand of her hair behind her ear 

"I am sorry shortie " he kissed her nose 

"Its ok..i just don't want you to hurt yourself" she replied putting her head on his chest

"Zayaan even if you don't want to talk about it ,you can't just destroy the house or our room like that" She said in a slow voice feeling the rise and fall of his chest

"So you finally consider that room our's "??? Zayaan teased her kissing her hair

"Yeah whatever" she blushed

"You blush to much" he chuckled kissing her cheek

"Stop it" she said smacking his chest

"Stop what" he asked faking an innocent expression

"Stop k.. kissing me" she said getting awkward and blushed beet red

Zayaan's laughter boomed through the gym and he tightend his hold on her looking straight in her eyes,he leaned towards her level with amusement clear in his features

"And why should I"

"Because i said so"

"Shortie" he said in a deep voice

"Yes" she answered looking at him innocently 

"Shutup" with that he kissed her lips ,at first she was shocked  but she responded after a few seconds without even realizing her actions.

Zayaan pulled away after a few seconds with a hint of brightness in his eyes

Manum looked like a red tomato,embarrassed and shock at her own body's response to him

"You are shameless" she said smacking him again

"That I am baby doll " he winked at her

"I am hungry ,lets go eat something" Zayaan put a hand around her shoulders chuckling,he knew she was still blushing . But he was very normal ,he was like that bold and confident

When they reached the kitchen smiling, Talal and Asfandyar were already there bickering about something.

Talal saw the couple and shouted loudly " Yes...i won ...I won..."

He turned to Asfandyar and looked at him with a smile that showed all his teeth and said 

"Pay up Bitch"  

Asfandyar looked at the couple in bewilderment .His jaw was almost hitting the kitchen floor

Then looked at Talal who was laughing hard. Asfandyar cursed under his breath and handed Talal his wallet full of cash.

"Don't swear" Manum shouted at Talal

"Sorry bhabi" he apologized chuckling

Zayaan looked at the situation with a genuinely confused expression

"What's going on"?? he asked Talal

"Asfand and i had a bet that you will or  not follow your usual routine after your not so good deal and you'll stop yourself because of bhabi and i won." Zayaan had a shocked expression on his face

"You two were betting on this"??? he asked with wide eyes

"Yeah "

Zayann shook his head at them and rolled his eyes ,his arm still wrapped around Manum's shoulder

"And what were the terms on loosing the bet" Zayaan asked amused

"Well lets just say Asfand is broke for a few days and he will stink for a week straight" Manum laughed at that . Zayaan also smiled at all of them

Talal ruffled Asfandyar's hair,he smacked his hand

"Don't touch my hair"

"Yeah coz they'll fall off anytime since he is not taking a shower now for a long time" Manum said and Talal started laughing

"I seriously don't like any of you. Bhabi you are also a traitor. I can't even shower..Its a basic human right" he huffed .

"Suck it up buttercup" Manum teased him and Talal and Zayaan laughed at her comment

Talal walked out of the kitchen with Asfandyar annoying the hell out of him

Zayaan rubbed Manum's arm to get her attention ,he looked in her eyes and said softly

"Thank you"

"For what"?? she put her hand on his chest and stared back in his eyes

"For everything" Zayaan had a sincere look in his eyes. He leaned down and kissed her forehead and her cheeks .

Manum smiled putting her head on his chest closing her eyes in peace
