"Aaaa," she let out another scream and I covered her mouth from my hands.

"Can you please stop screaming? You're going to wake up everyone," I whispered gritting my teeth.

I was lying on top of her and I could feel her heavy warm breath on my neck. My hand was strangled in her hair, I inhaled the scent of her hair and gulped the saliva formed in my throat. The heat grew in my chest and rose to my ears. My mind wasn't thinking straight, her proximity was making me insane. I had the urge to do a... But soon the realization hit me and I pushed away all those silly thoughts and stood up straight.

My body missed that warmth, I touched my heart, it was racing fast. I reached the switchboard and switched on the lights. The room lit up and my eyes spotted the nervous flustered Zaynah.

She was gazing at the floor awkwardly, my eyes were glued on her, and then my eyes widened. SHE WASN'T WEARING ANY HIJAB OR DUPATTA ON HER HEAD.

Her beautiful long hair was scattered on her back and chest. A small scarf was hanging on her chest. This was the first time when I saw her hair. She lifted her head and her gaze met mine which caused her blush, she averted her gaze and the blush crept on her face. Her cheeks became rosy and I swear she never looked that beautiful.

I wish time can stop, man! Me, her in the kitchen.

"I'm sorry, it happened cuz of my clumsiness," she said to me closing her half eyes nervously.

Damn Girl! Who told you to look that cute? I just wanna....ughhh...

"It was my fault too," I passed her the same nervous smile, "By the way, what were you doing in the kitchen this time?" I raised my eyebrows at her.

Her face became red and she chewed her lips nervously, " I..I just came for wa..water," she stuttered a little.

"Ohh," I put a simple glance at her and reached to the microwave, I plate out some fried rice and butter chicken.
She was continuously watching me.

"If you're starving, you can join me, I won't tell anyone," I smirked.

" I..umm...I swear I just came for water, I'm full," she replied being a little bit annoyed.

" Who knows?" I shrugged my shoulders and shoved a spoonful of rice in my mouth.

"What do you mean? Do I look like some hungry fat woman to you?" She argued back, rolling her eyes.

" I never said that but if you wanna think this, then it's also true," I didn't know what had gotten into me that I was playing with her at that time.

"You.. schmuck...," She cursed and she looked...ummm...hot.

Damn...what did I just say! Well, I never notice girls but she is my wife, right?

Like you're noticing her the first time, you always noticed her also when she wasn't your wife.

"So did you get your water?" I smiled and she rolled her eyes again and glared at me.

"Hey don't look at my food like this, if you want I can share it with you, I don't wanna be sick," I said with amusement in my voice and she looked mad, very mad.

"I have told you, I'm full, and don't worry I'm not looking at your food," she huffed in annoyance and I swear she looked so cute that I wanted to hug her right now.

"Ohh, really?" I opened the box of chocolate pastries and dug the spoon on it. I knew chocolate was her weakness.
I put the small piece of pastry in my mouth and closed my eyes from the pleasure.

She stared at me for a few seconds then her large eyes filled with tears.

Shit... why was she crying?

"Hey what happens?" I ran towards her and asked with real concern.

" You're making fun of me cuz you caught me two times tasting dessert in your kitchen," she scrunched her nose which was becoming red.

" Naah, I didn't mean this, Shit, I'm so sorry," my all amusement vanished and the teary eyes of Zaynah were hurting me.

"Then why are you making me..." She said rubbing her eyes harshly.

" I am not, I just wanted you to share food with me as it feels so awkward to eat alone at midnight in the kitchen," I tried to make her normal but I didn't realize indirectly I made fun of her.

"So you mean I ate alone in the kitchen and..."

"Shut up," I placed my hand on her lips and the words lost in her mouth. We both froze at our place and I was staring into her beautiful eyes. But then she came back to her senses and she pulled away.

"Want pastry?" I tried to cut the thick tension in the air.

"Yeah," she nodded and I smiled.
This girl was driving me insane.

I held her hands which made her body stiffened but I ignored it completely. I passed the box to her, she picked a big piece of pastry and shoved it in her mouth.

"Mhmmmm," she moaned closing her eyes.

What the hell! I just wanna pull her into a damn kissss...

Damn Wajahat!

Shut up and control your feelings boy!

I scolded my stupid heart and focused on her face.

"Nevermind," she said with a nervous cheeky smile and I smiled.

This was the best moment of my life.

Zaynah's POV

I still can't believe that this actually happened last night. Well, it was so new and beautiful. My heart never beat in that rhythm. Now he was my husband, a freaking husband.

He is mine!

Indeed, Allah's plans are perfect. Otherwise, who would have thought that this nerd is gonna marry Mr. Popular.

I settled down on the dining table for the breakfast and for the first time I didn't feel misfit or inferior.

"This is your first morning in this house, as a daughter-in-law," Mr. Abrar Shah smiled at me and I faked a smile.

"Daughter in law?? She's the daughter of this house, " Mrs. Umaisha smiled at me
and I choked on my food.

They all did this for me out of sympathy!

And now they are pitying me again.

I hate their pitiful looks!

Why the heck even I agreed to get married?

But Did you have any other choice??

"Asslamalaikum," we all snapped our heads in the direction of the voice. In a beautiful dress, Farwa was walking inside. Her beautiful brown hair was waving at her shoulders and she was playing with her hair locks. She looked confident with a pretty smile plastered on her face.
All the inferiority complex rushed back in my body and I lowered my head.

"Aunty, Where is Wajahat,?" She asked Mrs. Umaisha after greeting everyone.

"Look he's here," A grin appeared on Mrs. Umaisha's face.

I tilted my head to see the most handsome man on this planet. Shut up!
Okay but he's the most handsome for me!

His messy hair was scattered on his forehead in which he was running his hand. His eyes lit up as he saw Farwa which twitched my heart.

"Wajahat, it's been ages since we went out somewhere, I'm bored, " she ran towards her and said with confidence which I could never have.

"Umm...I just woke up..." He replied yawning.

" I don't care, Aunty I'm taking your son with me, and he's reserved by me," she said to Mrs. Mariya, eying me from head to toe, it felt she wanted to make me realize something.

"Okay, give me a second," Wajahat headed upstairs and the stupid thoughts started hovering over me.

I just took one bite and my appetite was already lost. Farwa sat next to me and started her breakfast. She looked like one of their family members and it wasn't a lie.

Seeing together never hurt me before like this, I always knew that they both are couples and it was my one-sided love but in one night everything was changed. My all feelings towards him became stronger and I started feeling intense jealousy and possessiveness in me.

"Aunty, Uncle, I gotta go, I'll come tomorrow to give tuition to Hamza and Hammad," I said, standing up from the chair.

"Where are you going?" Mrs. Mariya looked at me with confused eyes.

" My hostel," I replied and felt the smirk of Farwa.

" Hostel??? But why? This is your house Zaynah..."

"I signed the papers cuz I had no other choice not to rely upon your wealth, I can't repay the favor you all done to me but I don't wanna be dependent on y'all, Excuse me," I cut off Mrs. Umaisha in a stern voice which made everyone silent.

"Okay, we all respect your decision dear, if you wanna go back, you can go, and yeah, Wajahat and Farwa will drop you," Mrs. Umaisha said in her usual sweet voice.

" It's okay Aunty, I can manage, I don't wanna give them any kind of trouble cuz of me," I rejected her offer politely as I didn't wanna be the third wheeler.

"But it's not safe..."

"I can manage, Thank you," I replied curtly and walked out.

A tear fell from my eyes and I let out a deep breath. I knew what I needed to do! Also, I wasn't alone, the Almighty was always with me, I looked up at the sky and smiled.

Two updates in a day 😏 my fingers and eyes are hurting like hell and you can't just touch the star icon 🙂
