Happy reading🤗

The biggest fear in human is to confess his fear. The son of Adam goes through a swirl of emotions but couldn't cry in front of anyone, it is the matter of his ego. Ego. The biggest enemy of human now a days, wether it be a son of Adam A.S or daughter of Bibi Hawa. But we need someone who could understand us without telling anything. Someone should love us with taking our flaws as our perfections.

Zaydan was thinking the same. Hoor was assuring him to be with him in every condition but he was afraid. Afraid to lose her. Afraid she might leave him after knowing the risks her life can get while bonded to him.

"Hoor do you trust me?" He asked with his voice wavering a little. Hoor looked at him through wet lashes and nodded assuring him that she will be with him no matter what the situation, no matter the circumstances she won't leave him ever.

"Hoor mai apse bhot mohabbat karta hu or shayad apse bhi pehle se. Us din jab maine apko Zain k sath dekha tha ap use propose kar rahi thi."

"Ham unhe propose nahi kar rahe the practice kar rahe the apko propose karne ki." Hoor cut him off.

"I know...

Flashback:

He drove fast on the roads of city. He was furious. Furious on himself for falling for her.

Suddenly his phone ranged. Seeing an unknown number he parked the car at side and answered the call.

"Assalamualaikum. Mai Zain bol raha hu. Hoor ka..." he was cut off by Zaydan.

"Waleakumassalam. Mera no. Kaise mila?" He furiously said.

"Mai sun raha hu." No matter how much he didn't want to, he talked to him rudely.

"Hoor tumhe pasand karti hai. Or wo aj raat tumhe propose karne wali hai. Please uska dil mat todna." Zaydan was shocked at first but then controlled his heart.

"Mujhe tumhare baare me kuch nahi pata. Lekin Hoor logo ko pehli mulakat me samaj jati hai. And I trust her. She loves you. Wo to mujh par practice bhi kar rahi thi tumhe propose karne k liye. Just don't break her heart." Zain pleaded him while he relieved the breath in relief knowing she was just practicing. His heart did a summer salt.

"I assure you Zain. I also love your sister. And I won't let a single tear leave her eye."

After assuring him more he cut the call and was about to start the car with intention of buying her a ring when his phone rang again. He frowned seeing an unknown number again flashing on his phone, but picked up the call.

"Lagta hai tum aise manoge nahi Zaydan Jahangir." A voice said from the other side.

"Kya bakwas hai? Kon baat kar raha hai?" Zaydan alerted his senses.

"Bakwas to tum kar rahe ho. Yeh akhari warning de raha hu. ARH Interiors se agreement sign karlo. Warna tumhare liye acha nahi hoga."

"Apni beghairat dhamkiya apne paas rakho Wahaj Sheikh. Mai tumse darta nahi hu." He stated without any fear.

Wahaj laughed out loud.

"Dhamkiyaaa? Lagta hai Hooriya Rehman se dosti karni padegi." Zaydan let out a growl at the mention of her name from his mouth.

"Mai sab janta hu Zaydan Jahangir. Mujhe ye bhi pata hai wo is wakt kiske sath baithi hai beach par. Agar apni or Hoor ki bhalai chahte ho to meri company se deal final karlo. Tumhare liye acha hoga."

End of Flashback.

"Us wakt uski har chiz par nazar thi. Or mai apki zindagi risk me nahi dalna chahta tha Hoor. Mujhe samaj nahi aaraha tha mai apko kya jawab du. Mai risk nahi lena chahta tha. Socha tha sab settle kare baad wapas aaunga apka hath mangne lekin, your face when I rejected you would come in front of my eyes or meri saari himmat tut jaati thi. Abbu ne saaf inkaar kar diya tha un logo se deal karne k liye. Agar mai kar bhi leta sign to hamari company 45% loss me chali jati." Zaydan was telling her each & every detail on the verge of crying but controlled himself. Her heart itself broke seeing him this vulnerable. He was shaking with rage. A swirl of emotions passing throug his eyes. But one of it would cover all of them. Love. Love for her. His eyes with many other emotions held immense love for her.

"Apko pata hai mai ghar me kisi ko bhi pyar nahi dikha sakta. Businessman hona easy nahi hai Hooriya. Mai pehle aisa nahi tha. Safiya. Mai apni jaan deta tha Safiya par. Sabse choti behen hai meri. Lekin meri mohabbat uske liye janlewa ban gayi thi." Hoor looked shocked at him.

"1 year bhi nahi hua tha mujhe business join karne jab Safiya kidnap ho gai thi. And the kidnappers blackmailed me to sign a deal with them because they were too lazy to work on the drawbacks. I saved her back then. But then I started distancing myself from everyone. If my love can bring them harm, than it would be easy to not show love than to put your loved one's life in danger." Hoor hugged him tightly taking away all his pains.

He nuzzled his head in her neck making goosebumps to rise all over her body but she cared less.

It was the first time he opened about this thing to someone and he didn't regret.

"I didn't want to put your life in danger. Not at that time, not now, not ever. I put him in jail that time because I had evidences against him. I recorded his calls & than proved his company to be fraud. But now I think he is back Hooriya. And now he will come after you to take the revenge from me. I can't lose you Hoor." He tightened his hold on her not wanting her warmth, her smell to fade just yet.

"You won't lose me." Hoor whispered making him retreat from his position.

"You won't lose me ever Zaydan. I will always be here." She kept her hand on his heart which began to beat abnormally under her touch causing her own heart to beat with the same rythm.

"No matter where our destiny will take us. I will be always with you." She said with tears breaming her eyes.

"I love you Hoor. I love you so much." He said looking directly at her & than kissed her forehead lovingly. Hoor's heartbeat increased at the confession. She didn't thought he will confess his love like this.

Zaydan was anxiously waiting for her reply. But a hurtful expression crossed his face when she looked away from him.

"Its okay. I understand. I know it's not easy..." he was cut off by her voice.

"Everyone loves me. Its not a big deal. I love me too." She said with a teasing smile to ease the atmosphere making him shock. But he didn't catch the teasing in her voice.

"Mai tum se sachme Ishq karta hu Hoor". He said pulling her closer. "I really love you. And I am really sorry for what I have done."

"I love you more Zaydan." She said it finally making peace in his heart. A smile was decorating her tired face. Her eyes were shining like the stars in moonless night.

Pulling him down cupping his face she kissed his forehead just like he did few seconds ago.

They were finally at peace in each other arms. Feeling each other. Happiness radiating through their faces.

But puzzle was still to be completed. Wahaj Sheikh was out their planning against them.

That night both the lovers slept in each others embrace fading the whole world in blur while all of their focus was on each other.

××××××××××

Wahaj Sheikh. He was the son of Jahangir's old client. ARH Interiors used to be on heights at the time of Mr. Sheikh(Wahaj's father). But after his death the company was handed to his son.

Wahaj, being the son of rich man was spoilt to such extent that he was out of control from his parents now. Not knowing the "B" of business, he got all the responsibilities of his father's business.

But rather than keeping alive his father's hard work he wasted all of the money in partying, flings, outings & even drugs...he began to transport drugs.

When his reputation began to expose in media, ARH Interiors was also in complete loss. Jahangir's didn't wanted to associate witht them anymore when they came to know about this through Zaydan who was new to business at that time.

He cut all the ties from ARH Interiors not wanting to face the consequences on his grandfather's & Father's hardwork.

Wahaj being the hot head he was wasn't able to digest the fact that his money was all drained. He wasn't able to enjoy like before & rather than working hard for his business to be on line he began to threaten his father's old associates to have the allaince with them.

Jahangir Interiors was his main target as it was the biggest Interiors in the city & have business expanded in many other cities.

It was already noon when the younger Jahangirs woke up with the last several warnings of their mothers of pouring water on them.

With tired faces they sat on the dining table to have brunch.

Ali was still layed on Hamza's shoulder with his drool ruining his shirt.

"Chiiii yaaar Aliiii uth naaaa." He screeched like a girl. But it didn't had any effect on Ali.

"Ruk ruk abhi uthega." Haider gestured him with his finger. Going near Ali's ear he whispered,

"Ramshaaa aaiye na Ali apka hi intezar kar raha tha." This woke him up. He stood up with a jolt hitting Haider in process.

After a second reality sank in Ali. He suddenly remembered Ramsha directly left after the reception for her house. He turned to glare at his brother who was wincing in pain rubbing his chin and the other was cleaning his drool from his shoulder with disgusting expression.

He sat back with a thud. Ignoring his highly dramatic brothers.

Ahmer was ignoring Safiya from the moment she hit him while playing hide & seek. His ego was hurt. He didn't even replied to her texts. Safiya was skeptically looking at him. She had said sorry to him numerous times but he was ignoring her like a plague.

Sighing she continued eating while glancing at him every now & then. He didn't even looked at her.

"Bhai or Bhabi kaha hai. Nazar nahi aarahe." Safiya asked hoping at least on this he will look at her but he didn't.

"Wo log cottage chale gaye the raat ko. Tayi Ammi bata rahi thi Hoor bhot thak gayi thi." Fajar said while chewing on kebabs.

"Chalo unko surprise dete hai chal kar." Haider said excitedly.

"Abey. Dhakkan." Ali slapped his head. "Naya couple hai unki privacy kyu kharab karni hai ja kar."

Haider whinced & glared at him.

"Tujhe bada pata hai."

Just then Fajar's phone rang.

"Ha bolo Hoor." Earning a slap on her head from Ahmer. "Bhabi hai kuch to ehtram karo" he whispered but she ignored him.

"Ha thik hai."

Saying she cut the call & turned to all idiots grinning like a lunatic.

"Hoor ka call tha. Use kuch saman chahiye tha driver k sath bhejne ka keh rahi thi. Ham chale jayege." She said excitedly but earned a slap instead.

"Bhabi hai wo. Ye kya Hoor-Hoor laga rakha hai?" Haider said.

"Tum chup karo. Chalo na bhai or Hoor ko chedne ka acha moka hai."

Within half an hour they were found in the parking lot hurrying inside the cars.

Ali was again found on driving sit with Haider at passenger sit. Fajar with her twin brothers were fitted at back.

"Beghairaton mujhe bhi aane do." Hamza pushed them inside making space for himself. "Hamza bhai ap dusri gadi me aiye na." Ahmed screeched sitting uncomfortably.

"Bade bhai ko hakal raha hai." He slapped his head. "Tu chale ja."

"Ahmer tum Safiya ko lekar ana." Haider shouted seeing Ahmer followed by Safiya when Ali zoomed out the car.

They left Ahmer & Safiya to come in another car. Safiya glanced at him awkwardly who didn't looked at her and stepped towards the car. Tears pooled in her eyes but she wiped them away before they began to flow.

She stepped inside the car and even before she could close the door he accelerated the car out of the driveway making her flinch.

Scared of the speed she put on the seatbelt & began to recite quran in her mind.

Ahmer didn't cared about the poor soul. But when he couldn't control anymore and took a glance at her. He immediately regretted his behaviour. Tears were flowing down her rosy cheeks while her eyes were shut tight. Parking the car at the side he called her lovingly.

"Safiiiiii..."

She kept her head in her palms crying hysterically. Her hairs covered her face blocking his view.

Ahmer brushed his fingers and moved her hairs from her face tucking it behind her ear.

"Safiyaaaaa..." he called her again.

"Don't take my name." She screamed looking at him with red eyes and pushing his hand away.

"Car kyu rok li ab? Start kare." Wiping her tears sniffing a little she moved her hairs back & folded her hands on chest not looking at him.

"Safiya I am sorry." Ahmer pleaded her. "Mai keh raha hu na sorry."

She glared at him in return.

"Ehsaan nahi kar rahe ap mujh par. Jab mere sorry ki koi value nahi hai to ap kaise expect kar sakte hai k mai apke 1 bolne par apko maaf kardu? Apko andaza hai maine kitne baar apse sorry kiya kal raat se?" She huffed looking away. "Mai keh raha hu na sorry." She at last mimicked him making him chuckle.

"Acha kya karna hoga your highness ki maafi talab karne k liye. Banda hazir hai." He said bending down a little and keeping his hand on his heart melting her heart with his action.

"1 mahine tak mujhe daily ice cream khilani hogi or mere sare expenses ap apni pocket money se dege." She said after thinking for a few second.

Ahmer looked horrified at her demand. "Mujhe road par lana chahti ho kya? Fir mujhse shadi kon karega?" He asked with wide eyes.

"Kya matlab kon shadi karega? Mai hu na..." she stopped her sentence as soon as she realised what she said. Ahmer raised his eyebrow amused but she looked away blushing.

"Kya kaha? Tum karogi mujhse shadi?" He asked while wiggling his eyebrows.

"Hamara wo matlab nahi tha." She stated.

"Acha ji. Kya matlab tha fir apka?"

"Hamara matlab tha mai hu na apke liye ladki dekhne k liye." She intelligently changed her sentence.

"Ooohh haa achaaa. Mai bhi kitna pagal hu. Samja hi nahi." He acted as if he was stupid. "Lekin tum khud kyu khud ko dekhogi mere liye. Uske liye mai hu na." He said making her red due to shyness while coming closer to her face.

She pushed his face away from her. "Car start kare."

He laughed out loud throwing his head back while starting the car.

They were like that only. If he was sun she was moon melting away him and vice-versa depending upon the situation.

Allah had surely made everything in pairs just like, Sun & Moon, Water & Fire, Sky & Ocean and most importantly Adam A.S. & Bibi Hawa. Just like every other pair 50,000 years ago Safiya's name must have been written next to Ahmer making there love promise till forever.

×××××××××

Zaydan & Hoor were snuggled against each other sleeping peacefully. Their slumber was broken by the ringing of Zaydan's phone. Zaydan woke up while rubbing his eyes & immediately silenced his phone seeing Hoor stir in her sleep. Slowly removing his arms from around her he covered her with duvet. He smiled looking at his innocent beauty sleeping like a child. Taking his phone he stepped out of the room.

Not able to feel the warmth anymore Hoor stirred and woke up with a jolt. Last night's events flashed through her mind. She looked at her state. She was still in his clothes which she wore last night. She was about to get up from her sitting position when Zaydan entered.

He was doing something in his phone but stopped when saw her awake. Smiling at her he sat down beside her and kissed her forehead making her smile in content.

"Nind ho gai apki?"

"Nahi. Ap chale gaye to thandi lag rahi thi." She pouted making him shocked at her blunt confession.

"Kyaaa?" She asked looking at him confused who looked at her as if she grew two heads.

"Kuch nahi." His cheeks turned a slightest bit of red as he looked away from her. "I like your bluntness."

"Ap blush kar rahe hai." She exclaimed like a child poking his cheek.

"Apke shirt ka button khul gaya hai." He said still not looking her way.

She looked horrified at her shirt and immediately closed the button. Dark blush appeared on her face. Her respect for him incresed more than it already was. He respected her personal space. No matter husband or not. They were not comfortable till that level & he too wanted to give her as much time as she needed.

"You can look now." She whispered sitting straight.

"Do you want me to look at you?" He teasingly asked coming closer to her.

"Yes." Again a straight forward answer.

"I love this Hoor more. Who isn't shy speaking her mind. Who will take a lead of everything before me." He said pulling her closer from her waist making her beetroot red with shyness.

Slapping his chest she moved away & ran to bathroom controlling her heartbeat. Something really changed last night. They were no more running away from each other.

When she came out he wasn't present in the room. Stepping out of the room she went to kitchen from where noise was coming.

She was shocked to see the scene unfolded infront of her eyes. Zaydan was swiftly handling the kitchen while making breakfast. His as usual black shirt was stick to his body as a second skin with black pants. His sleeves were folded till his elbows popping the veins of his arms.

"Like what you see?" He asked without turning to look at her. Her penetrating gaze was enough to acknowledge her presence.

Clearing her throat with colors raised to her cheeks she stepped towards him.

"Love." He looked at her confusedly. "Love what I see." She winked at him making him startle.

"Only you Hooriya. Only you have the audacity to make me speechless."

"My pleasure." She bowed down a little keeping her hand on her heart.

"Umm...ham aise ghar nahi ja sakte." She replied nervously sitting on the counter beside where he was making omelette.

"Hmm. Ap Fajar ko call karke driver k hath se bag bulale." He said tilting towards her.

She nodded her head but didn't made a move earning a confused look from him.

"Ummm...wooo...hamara cell phone..." she trailed off fidgeting with her fingers. Zaydan's expression turned hard hearing her.

"Mera phone waha table par rakha hai. Usse call karle. Password ap khud hai. Apka phone ab ap use nahi karegi." She was surprised at the password thing and nodded understandingly at last sentence.

"Apko pata chala kon messages kar raha hai?" She asked looking at him through her lashes making him melt in the process.

"Nahi...lekin mujhe lagta hai Wahaj hai. Maine no. trace karne diya hai. Sham tak pata chal jayega."

"Or hame follow kon kar raha tha?" She asked again.

He just shrugged his shoulder stating the obvious. She just nodded her headed and stepped down to make a call when he held her hand while turning off the stove.

"Ap fikar na kare. Mai apko kuch nahi hone dunga." He lovingly kissed her head.
