P.S  Its a lonnngg chapter :D

After breakfast Manum was sitting with dada and Zayaan in Zayaan's office. Hadeed and ASfandyar were there too having a good time with dada. Dada seriously questioned the hell out of Zayaan. He was beyond annoyed with the topic of his marriage and him committing a serious sin not inviting dada.

"I told you I am sorry ,will you please drop it" Zayaan gave him a tired look.

"How can I drop it, don't give me that look young man ,Its your fault..." He said crossing his arms on his chest and Zayaan again rolled his eyes.

Dada turned to Manum who was playing with her fingers.

"So Manum how is my grandson treating you ".He asked casually

Hadeed choked on water he was drinking , Asfandyar patted his back chuckling earning a glare from Zayaan.

Zayaan looked silently at Manum with a warning look .Manum ignored him completely and sat straight looking at dada

"Really bad Dada. He fights with me, shouts at me ,kidnapped me, married me against my will, threaten to kill my parents and he even pointed a gun at my head". She replied smiling at Zayaan

Asfandyar ,Hadeed and Zayaan had a shocked look on their face and Dada gave Zayaan a hard glare.

"Is this true Zayaan"???? He asked seriously . "I mean I know the whole kidnapping thing and all I've watched it on the news but seriously you pointed a gun at her head!!!!!!!. She is a girl Zayaan. Have you lost your mind, we don't treat women like that". Dada shouted

Zayaan ran a hand through this hair looking at Manum giving her a I'll deal with you later look.

"Dada ,its not like that".

"It is like that " Manum stood up from the couch. "Don't you lie to him".

"Manum ,go back to your room "

"Oh no she is not going anywhere" dada stood up too looking at him

Manum smirked and Zayaan gritted his teeth

"It was sort of necessary at the time Dada. She was being difficult." Zayaan walked towards his cell phone at the table ,picked it up and started texting someone.

"You kidnapped her ,offcourse she was being difficult. Any one would've reacted the same way she did in the particular situation. What else can you expect"??? Dada frowned at him

"And he fights with me, he calls me silly shortie". Manum blurted out angrily

Dada smiled on that looking at his grandson who was staring furiously at his wife now.

"Asfandyar and Hadeed had a surprised expression on their faces.

"So my grandson is able to give pet names too". Dada smiled with an amused expression.

Zayaan got his coat from the chair and walked towards the door saying

"I am late for a meeting , please excuse me. I'll see you all in the evening". He said robotically and left. Hadeed and Asfandyar followed him smiling.

Why are they smiling??? Manum thought and shrugged

Dada looked at Manum thoughtfully for a minute and sighed.

"ok kiddo lets go sit in the living room".

They both walked to the living room and sat down on the sofa, Sumair was already sitting there playing some game on his phone.

"So how else my grandson bothers you"??

"Well he is sort of bi polar" she said hesitatingly

Dada and Sumair both laughed loudly at that

"Yeah tell me about it" said Sumair

"I understand " Dada said but then suddenly his expression turned sad.

"Are you ok Dada"?? Manum asked concerned

"Yes child I am fine. " "I want to talk to you about Zayaan if you don't mind" Dada looked at her hopefully

"Sumair can you give us some privacy"?? He asked politely

"Off course" Sumair smiled leaving the living room

Dada turned to Manum with a very tired look in his eyes.

"Manum, Zayaan was a very lonely child. His childhood was very different from a normal kid. He is shattered inside, he is broken, he doesn't know how to love or care may be that's why he pointed the gun at you .But please child don't lose hope and don't leave him.I know I am asking too much from you and I have no right but still I am asking you this because I am sensing a change in Zayaan its very little but its there.

"Zayaan never gave anybody pet names, never left a person unharmed who made fun of him, never refrained himself from doing something bad. But you have some nerve I must say standing up to him is not easy and the good part is that he fights with you but doesn't harm you. He was giving you warning glances back in the office but he didn't said anything to you. Its a start". He smiled thoughtfully

"Yeah he is probably furious with me now" said Manum

"He his but still you can talk him out of it"

"What..Why me"??

"Because you are his wife.I am not asking you to forgive him so easily neither am I asking you to get over your family so easily Manum but please understand he had a brutal past ,I know its not justified for him to kidnap you and marry you without your consent ,his past doesn't gave him a right to do all that he did to you. But his past reflects in his actions. Sometimes I think how that boy's sanity is still intact"??

"What happened to him" Manum asked in a gentle tone

"Its not my story to tell . You should ask him"

"And get murdered..no way"

"I have a feeling that he will share his past with you. A very few people know about it."

"He hates me"

"He doesn't....i have a feeling that it's the opposite of hate"

Manum turned red with embaraasment at his comment

"Its not like that"

"Trust me child,I know my grandson"

"He will never tell me about his past"

"He will if you ask nicely, make a chocolate cake for him ,he loves it. May be ..just may be you'll be able to bring himback".

"I'll try".

"May Allah bless you my child". Dada looked a little relieved and gave her a thankful look.

Later that night Zayaan came home just before dinner and went straight to his room. Manum made chocolate cake for desert but Zayaan didn't came down to dinner.

Manum went to the room to look for him ,he was sitting on the bed working on his laptop .

Will this guy ever give himself a break she thought

Zayaan glared at her probably because of what happened in the morning.

Yup,still angry

"Dinner is ready " she said in a low voice maintaining a safe distance from him.

Zayaan didn't said anything,he kept working on his laptop

"Ahemm... I am talking to you"

"I am not hungry" He said in a non interested tone.

"Why"

"Because!!!!"

"Well you should eat. I mean its dinner time"

"And I've made it clear that I am not hungry"

"But yo..."

"God dammit Manum I told you I am not hungry ,stop pushing me I am not a child I can take care of myself" He shouted suddenly getting up

Manum took an instinctive step back looking at him in shock on his outburst.

"Fine" she turned back on her heel leaving the room

"Manum I am so.."

"Save it Zayaan"

She banged the door loudly leaving the room

Zayaan sighed rubbing his hand on his forehead. His meeting didn't ended up well with his clients he was pissed off at that and took his frustration out on Manum

"Shit" he whispered looking at the door.

"Everyone was enjoying dinner at the table while Manum was quiet .

"Manum what happened child"?? dada asked her with worry on his face

"Nothing" she tried to smile

"Its Zayaan isn't it"???

Manum nodded mutely

Asfandyar was about to say something when Zayaan came in the dining hall.

He took a glance at Manum who started eating her dinner silently.

Guilt crashed with full force on him again looking at her .

Dada stared at him wordlessly.

Everybody else was talking and eating

"Manum will you pass me the rice please" He said hesitatingly

Manum didn't even bothered to look up at him ,she moved the tray near Asfandyar who got the message and passed the tray to Zayaan.

"Trouble in paradise"?? Asfandyar whispered in Zayaan's ear looking amused

"Shut up" Zayaan whispered back

After a few minutes Zayaan looked at her again

"Manum please pass me the water bottle" he said politely

Manum picked the bottle up handing it to Waleed, Waleed looked at her and then Zayaan then passed the bottle silently to him.

Dada smiled at that and buried his head in his plate to hide it.

"What's for desert "?? Said Talal sitting beside Zayaan who was taking glances at Manum after every few minutes.

"Manum made chocolate cake " Said Anumta cheerfully

Zayaan looked at Manum for a second then returned his eyes to his food

Manum's face was blank of any emotion.

"Manum will you please pass me th....." Zayaan was in the middle of completing his sentence when Manum got up pushing her chiar back, the chair made a loud screeching noise grabbing everyone's attention.

"Excuse me ,I am done".

She said coldly without looking at Zayaan and left the dining hall

Everyone got quiet for a minute then looked at Zayaan

"Looks like you have big trouble in paradise" Asfandyar smiled looking at Zayaan who gave him a just shut up look

After dinner Zayaan kept on trying talking to Manum but she avoided him like the plague.

It was almost midnight when Zayaan came back to his room ,Manum was on the bed pretending to be asleep.

Zayaan walked towards the bed and stood in front of her with a little distance

"Manum".. He called

"Manum???"

"Listen I know you are not asleep, I want to talk please listen to me.'..."

Still no answer..

He was getting annoyed now by her behavior

"Manum yar you shout at me all the time,fight with me all the time but I never behave like this..c'mon.." He almost pleaded

He muttered something under his breath then looked at her frowning

Suddenly an idea got into his head and he smirked.

"Fine ,don't talk...Have it your way then".He smiled devilishly and laid on the other side of bed,got close to her and hugged her from behind.

Manum's blood went cold and she opened her eyes shrieking loudly..

"Lettt me gooooo...Get off.." She said squirming trying to get out of his arms while Zayaan tightened his hold enjoying the situation and didn't answered her

"Zayaan!!!!"

"What??!?! Are you talking to me"

"Let me go,don't touch me"

"But I am grabbing my wife"

"Let me go you oaf..I am not your wife"

"Sure,sure"

"Zayaan please let me go" she asked softly this time

"No not until you talk to me"

"I am talking to you"

"Are you"

She went silent at that

"See that's what I was talking about" he said laughing and grabbing her tightly from the waist.

"AGHHHhh fine ..you wanna talk...then talk"

Zayaan sighed putting his chin boldly over her shoulder

Manum's body went stiff

"You can relax Manum, really ,I am not going to do anything .You should trust me by now...Look I am sorry that I shouted at you .I was angry for something else and I took it out on you .I know its not justified.I am sorry".

"Manum I am not used to living with a girl. Specially not a wife. It was probably work load and my meeting didn't went as planned so I got frustrated .Im so sorry."

"Its ok,please let me go" Manum said getting uneasy with the closeness between them.

"No I am not letting you go until you forgive me and you relax, you are stiff like a wire."

"Let me go you doofus..Now!!!!"

Manum's cheeks were getting red now

"Are you blushing"?? Zayaan teased her

"No..no way..I am not"

"Sure sure" He chuckled still holding her close to him

After a few minutes of silence Manum whispered

"I made chocolate cake for you" Zayaan looked at her in complete surprise making her blush

"You made it for me"???

She nodded

"but you being a jerk..."

Manum was trying to say something when Zayaan kissed her forehead boldly

Manum looked at him with wide eyed

"Did you just...."

Zayaan smirked "Did I just"??

Manum face was red like a tomato

"Shut up" she said hiding her blush

"Hmm my wife made cake for me..That's really cute of you shortie"

"Don't.you.dare.call.me.shortie."

With that Manum tugged on Zayaan's hair hard

"Oww manum..Ok ok I am sorry...sheesh woman let my hair go".

"Say sorry you idiot"

"No way"

"Fine then " she pulled his hair harder

"Ahhh ok ok sorry sorry manum"

Manum let his hair go with that and smirked

"Wow my hair..are you freaking serious"

Manum smiled sweetly

"Aww that hurt didn't it dinosaur"

"What did you just called me"

"A dinosaur..it suits you"

She said biting her lip

"Run,you have five minutes"

Zayaan glared at her and Manum screamed running to the door speeding out with Zayaan hot on her heels

"Manum I am gonna kill you"

Manum laughed loudly running from him ,Zayaan followed her with the feeling of completeness in his chest.

The next morning

Zayaan ate the chocolate cake.. Anumta saved a piece for him last night. He thanked Manum and she smiled

"Its probably the first time you guys are talking like civilized people..aren't you". Talal said chuckling, Manum threw a cushion at him making him laugh loudly even Zayaan smiled at that. Manum was cutting vegetables with Anumta whereas Zayaan was talking to Dada about some business sitting in the kitchen when his phone went off.

Private number

Zayaan looked at it carefully for a second then picked up the call

"Hello" Zayaan said in a rough tone.

"Hello to you too Zayaan ". The man from the other line spoke in a voice dripped with venom

Every nerve in Zayaan's body got alerted ,he took a glance at dada who was looking at him curiously

"Who is this" Zayaan tried to control the coldness in his voice

"That's not important" The voice said harshly "You killed Ali, my only family and now I am going to get even."

Zayaan smirked and said " Try me"

"Oh yes Zayaan Ibrahim Saith ,I have my eyes on you and your family, specially your new family member, what's her name..yessss Manum".

Blood boiled in Zayaan's body at Manum's name.He looked at her she was laughing with Anumta at something

Zayaan walked out of the kitchen wordlessly, Dada's eyes followed him

"Take my wife's name again ,and I promise you ,you won't be alive to see the next dawn"

The man laughed at that, Zayaan stood stiff his posture tense listening to him

"Threats ..threats..threats..Zayaan ch ch..You should've thought about it before killing my brother"

"He was worth killing. A piece of shit, a burden on earth" Zayaan spat "And I'll kill more like him as soon as I get my hands on them"

"I'll destroy your whole so called family Zayaan Saith..Just wait for a while.I'll personally come and take your most important part of life with me . And I mean it. You'll cry for your loved ones just as I cried for my brother"

Zayaan laughed a humorless laugh at that and spoke in a bitter tone

"Zayaan Ibrahim Saith never cries. He didn't even cried when his whole family was fuc***g murdered in front of his eyes. I am not the one to mess with keep that in your useless brain. You have no idea how much worse I can put you through .I know how to protect what's mine and Zayaan Ibrahim Saith never fails. You even think about touching my family and I'll gladly sent you to a coffin without using a gun."

With that he disconnected the line and walked to his office. "Hadeed call everyone of our men here now..its an emergency". He said gravely looking at Hadeed who took the hint and went out

Zayaan smirked and looked out the window

"Its showtime" a cruel smile crept up his face making the devil look more handsome then ever.
