"Now who's here?" My face became pale.

"Wajahat..."

As we heard the voice we both looked at each other with wide eyes. It was Mrs. UMAISHA.

"Shit," he let out a deep breath and facepalmed himself.

"What are we gonna do? It's all your fault?" I snorted.

"Who told you to come into my room without my permission?" He sighed frustratingly.

" I don't need your permission, I'm your wife..." But then I realized what did I just say. He looked at me with a small smile and a lot of things were dancing in his eyes.

"Ohh," he smirked.

"Wajahat, open the door," we heard another voice and he came back to his senses.

"Go"

"Where? Am I supposed to jump from your windows?" I rolled my eyes.

" Arghh No, we ain't doing any Haram things like you are my wife bro, " he frowned.

" Just tell me how can I go outside? " I asked tapping my feet anxiously on the floor.

" Umm one minute,"  he dragged me along with him in the washroom and I glared at him.

"Stay here for a few minutes, please, Don't come outside and don't make any kind of noise, " he ran his fingers in his hair frustratingly and locked the washroom.

Now I was alone in the washroom. So my love for shawarma brought me here. Damn!

I was walking across the washroom and started waiting for him. My feet became tired, I spotted a dry clean place and sat there. God knows what are they talking about? It's been an hour and he was nowhere.

What if he forgot about me?
I'll kill you, Wajahat Shah!
I hate you, Zara, you could have given me your shawarma!

Should I walk outside and check?
But what if Mrs. Umaisha is still there?

Ughh... I'm sleepy...

It took me a minute to doze off.

Wajahat's POV

I was nodding my head to all the questions of Aunty cuz my mind was stuck in Zaynah. I don't trust that girl. She can do anything. It's been an hour and Aunty was still there.

What if Zaynah walks in ??

"What's wrong, Wajahat?" She asked me as she saw my worried face.

" Nothing, I just need to use the washroom," I made a silly excuse like Zaynah.

"Okay, I can wait for you,"

"Umm.. can we talk in the morning? I mean I'm sleepy and tomorrow is college," I started rubbing my eyes.

" Okay," she looked at me with suspicion in her eyes and closed the door behind her.

Thank God!

I let out a deep breath which I was holding for God knows how long.
I rushed to the washroom and started looking for her. My eyes landed on her sleeping figure.
My lips curled into a small smile and I moved my steps towards her.

She looked in a deep sleep, hugging her knees, she was looking like a baby.

Damn! Why she's so cute!

"Zaynah," I called her name and shook her a little but she was a heavy sleeper, I guess.

I was left with no choice, I carried her in my arms in a bridal style and stepped inside the room. I placed her on the bed and my eyes glued on her innocent cute face. I smiled as I remembered today's incident. I put a strand of her hair behind her ear and placed my lips on her forehead.

"Hello, Zara, I want you in my room right now," I threw the phone on my bed, and once again my eyes were focused on her face.

"Wha- t the heck..." Zara gave us a shocking look.

"Ya Allah, what you guys were doing? It's been about two hours, Don't tell me you guys did...omgg nooo," she wasn't any less dramatic than Zaynah.

" What the hell, Zara, Can you please shut up?" I shot a glare at her.

" Then what was she doing in your room?" She arched her eyebrow at me.

"Aunty came here and I kept her in the washroom," I told her in short.

"What the heck, you kept her in the washroom... Damn it!" She rolled her eyes dramatically.

" Zara, please,"

"Okay, what do you want?"

"I want you to sleep here with Zaynah, and I'll sleep in your room,"

" But why? I'll wake her up..." She looked at me in confusion.

" No, don't even think to do this, I don't wanna ruin her sleep, I'm going to your room," I stopped her and picked my pillows and phone.

"Oohhh! I see you're deeply in love with her," she teased me, and a small smile formed on my lips.

I laid down on the bed and sighed. It was hard to sleep in another room for me but anything for Zaynah, right?

Few books were scattered on the bed, I was putting them aside then a piece of paper fell from a book. As my eyes fell on the paper, I heard a cracking sound coming from my heart, Azlan🖤 Zaynah

It was beautiful calligraphy which was screaming a lot of things.

Damn...she loves that guy and here I'm imagining my future with her!

No, Wajahat, no! You can't do this to her! You can't be selfish!

But I'll die without her!

I love her so much, man!

Anything for Zaynah, right?

She wasn't mine even after the marriage, hot tears started rolling down my cheeks and I closed my eyes.

Zaynah's POV

As I opened my eyes, my whole world spun. I was lying on the bed of Wajahat in his room.
Ya Allah! How did this happen?

Shit, I dozed off in the washroom.

But then my eyes traveled to Zara who was sleeping beside me. So he called Zara to sleep with me and he slept somewhere else. He could have waken me up.

I came back from the thought as I heard a knock on the door.

"Yeah,"

Wajahat Shah stepped inside, he was charming even in her messy hair and unwashed face. Last night's incident flashing on my mind and a slight blush crept on my face. Damn...we almost kissed!

"Can you both please go back to Zara's room, I have things to do," his tone was rude and he looked like that old Wajahat.

He's bipolar, I guess!

"Yeah, no worries," I shook Zara by her shoulders and she looked at me with her questioning eyes. I stomped my feet and walked out.

********

After taking the lecture, I bade goodbye to Zara. I need to meet my lawyer and I didn't want to involve Mrs. Umaisha or anyone. It took me more than I expected. I was walking alone on the lonely road. The sun was about to set and there was a weird silence in the atmosphere.

My sixth sense was indicating me something, I took a deep breath and picked my speed.
And suddenly my leg twisted and my ankle got sprained.

Shitttt!!

The pain shot in my ankle and I winced from the pain. But I can't sit on the road like this. I stood up and tried to walk but the pain started increasing in my leg and I sat down on the road helplessly. My eyes started pricking from hot tears, I was reciting Surah then all of a sudden I felt a hand covering my mouth.

My screams were muffled and I tried to push that person away. I realized it was some girl and she was wearing the same black hoodie.

Damn! I knew this! That car's incident wasn't an accident, someone wants to kill me! But who?
Farwa? Umm naah she just wants to threaten me, she can't harm me like this.

Is she related to Asiya?

She dragged me behind the tree and started punching me in my stomach. A strong pain rose in my stomach and my eyes were closing themselves.

I can't give up like this! I need to fight back!

Zaynah, you're not a coward! You can do this girl!

I took the knife out of my pocket which I was keeping with me after that party's incident. I attacked back her with my knife which made a large cut on her right arm. Blood started dripping from her arms and she groaned from the pain. It was my best chance to see her, but before I could remove the mask from her face, she ran away. I sighed and fell to the ground.

My ankles and stomach were still hurting and I got a few cuts in my arms. I texted Zara and sent her my location before blacking out.

********

I opened my eyes and found myself in the hospital. All the members of Shah Mansion were standing there with a worried look on their faces but I didn't find Wajahat.

He doesn't care about you, Zaynah! Then why was he acting sweet the whole time?

Was he trying to show me his rights on me as now he's my husband?

Damn it, Zaynah! How can you think this crap?

I scolded myself and opened my eyes. Zara was sitting beside me, as she noticed the movement in my body she started calling everyone.

"How are you, honey?" Mrs. Umaisha caressed my cheeks and I broke into tears. My heart was still shaking from fear. Someone wants to kill me, this thought was sending shivers down my spine.

"Hey, you're okay honey," she wiped off my tears but I didn't stop crying. I was still crying like a small baby.

"You're not safe Zaynah, Now you won't go alone anywhere, and also you're moving in with us," she announced her decision and I looked at her with my blank eyes.

Only if she knew, someone attacked me in her house too!

"That Asiya was doing everything, I'll see that bitch!" She gritted her teeth and I wished I could tell her that it wasn't about Asiya, it was something else. Someone else is trying to kill me, there's something that I was unable to figure out.

Yaa Allah, please help me! Please show me a sign! Please!

"You are moving in with us today, go and bring your stuff from your hostel," Mrs. Umaisha said in a firm voice and I nodded.

" Hey, how did this happen?" I cocked my head at Mrs. Umaisha voice.

She was talking to Farwa who just stepped in but the next second what I saw was enough to give me a shock.

Her right arm was covered from the bandages and she had a few scratches on her face.

Damn! It was Farwa!
So the whole time Farwa was stalking me, she was trying to harm me in that way??

"It was a minor accident," she passed a weak smile at her but as her gaze met mine, her facial expressions started changing which were screaming everything.

Now I just need some proof against her!
