W O R D C O U N T:

I forgot to tell you guys that I love you and hence, I had to update. 😉

Did I surprise you?

I felt trapped and imprisoned. The darkness was suffocating and sweltering me as I tried running away from it but there was absolutely no end to it. I could hear distant voices but I couldn't understand what they were saying. I tried to focus on the voices and it became quite lucid now.

"I am fine Bibijaan. See my leg is almost fine. Please go and sleep if you love me. When you'll wake up, I promise I will sleep." A very known female voice spoke meekly. Her voice wasn't very clear but it was still audible enough for me to understand. I Wanted to concentrate more, so that I could follow it. I knew the voice could take me out of tenebrosity. Indeed, it did.

"Fine. I'll be in the next room." It was a female voice again but it was different from the previous one and this time my eyes began to hurt a lot due to the sudden brightness. My brows furrowed and knitted as I tried opening my eyes. It fluttered open with much difficulty as I peered at my unfamiliar surroundings and the petite female in front of me, her back was facing me. I almost flinched at the sound of the door closing shut.

The female in front of me sighed audibly. I gazed at her intently, trying to recognize who she was. The corner of my mouth twitched in realization.

Anaabiya.

I shut my eyes as soon as I felt she was about to turn. I wanted to know what she did all this while when I was almost in a state of coma. My head still ached but it was better than before. I felt so much fatigue all at once.

I was waiting for any activity on her part when she did absolutely nothing.

When I finally decided to stop pretending, she began.

"Are you torturing me? Because damn this is working." Her voice croaked by the end. Was she crying for me? My heart clenched at the sudden feelings that erupted in the pit of my stomach.

"And you know what? You are a very bad husband." She accused me while still sobbing quietly. My throat suddenly went dry.

"How about you wake up and we fight?" She spoke to me as if I was actually listening. Did she talk to me like this when I was unconscious?

Damn! This room better have a camera installed.

My breathing hitched when she took my hand in hers and kissed the back of it tenderly. I tried not to smile but I couldn't stop myself either, although it was gone within seconds, before she could even see it. She fucking kissed my hand. I was utterly overjoyed.

I wasn't even over it as yet when All of a sudden I felt her kiss my forehead. Even though it wasn't on my skin but over the bandage, yet it didn't fail to sent tingles down my spine. Now she fucking kissed my forehead. Were the gods above smiling at me? I Was busy thinking about it when I felt her lips on mine. All my senses froze. My breath became uneven. My heart thundered like a roaring sound of a cannon. To say that I was on cloud nine would be an understatement. I wanted to hold her in my arms and kiss her fervently. Now that she kissed me herself, I felt like I was high on weed. Indeed she was like a drug. Her lips were sweet and tender. I wanted to taste them too. I was going to respond to her when she moved away abruptly making me groan inwardly. Just a peck, really? I almost died their girl.

I felt her footsteps as if she was going further away from me. I didn't want it. I just wanted to hold her in my arms, just this once.

I tried opening my eyes slightly so that I could see if she was really leaving but I was happy because she wasn't. Her back was facing me again.

It felt as though she was running away from me. Too late woman, you already provoked me. I have needs that only you could cater to.

"It's alright, he wouldn't know." She ranted on the same sentence again and again. I now opened my eyes, completely smiling at how adorable she looked at the moment.

I finally decided to tease her.

"What if he did?" I questioned and this time she froze. For a minute I wasn't even sure if she heard me in the first place. She seemed like a statue. I tried getting up but the pain and soreness that shot through my head was grievous and dire. I wanted to hold her so desperately that I was ready to endure the pain too. I tried again but this time I saw her turning around.

I scrunched my nose as now my back felt like it was pricked with dozens of thorns. I felt her presence beside me immediately. She wrapped her arms around my shoulder stopping me from getting up. The touch of her hand felt like medicine as the pain slowly began to subside.

"You are supposed to rest." She spoke without looking at me. Now I was sure, She definitely heard me. Her flushed face was giving that away. She helped me lay back on the comfortable mattress. I could see how nervous she was. Her hands were cold and she refused to meet my eyes. I liked this side of her as much as I liked the fire in her.

"You didn't answer me." I smirked seeing the effect I had on her. Heat crawled up her cheeks as she looked like a ripe tomato to me. The crimson shade of her cheeks were so natural, just like a cherry.

"I'll go call everybody." She spoke hurriedly. No way in hell was I going to let her call everyone. I wanted to hold her first. "Stay." I almost ordered.

I was astonished to see that she obliged without putting up a fight against me. "Can you lay beside me?" I asked her politely pushing my luck further and this time she met my eyes only to look at me like she had seen a ghost. She didn't say a word and began to hesitate.

"What? You can kiss me and I can't even ask you to sleep beside me?" She was all the more humiliated now and I was enjoying it so much.

"Fine then I'll get up too." I know I was being stubborn but trust me when I say that I was craving to touch her. "No please don't. Just go off to sleep." She said almost immediately. My heart was filled with warmth as I could see the concern in her eyes. I was behaving like a love sick puppy but I didn't mind it for time being. Maybe it was due to the medicines but I could enjoy it while I had it.

"I won't until you lay beside me." She was amused and looked at me as if she was contemplating whether she should or should not.

I didn't want her to change her mind so I started getting up again. She lost the battle there and sat beside me quickly. She began to lower herself until she was parallel to me. Not a single part of our body touched and I was selfish enough not to keep it that way.

I gripped her waist, tugging and hauling her to myself. I felt weak but she wasn't so hard to pull. Her body was flushed against mine soon and it fit perfectly in my arms. She seemed so clueless but I was happy, she wasn't struggling at all.

I liked her cheeks when they blushed. So I decided to tease her more. "So you can kiss me when I am asleep and not let me touch you when I am awake. Don't you think its unfair?" I tittered and she suddenly began to hide her face in my chest. My heart rate sped up initially. Why does she always try to kill me with this?

"Why do you do that woman?" I spoke with seriousness. My fingers were drawing circles on her waist from above her dress. My groin was tightening by every passing second. The proximity was doing wonders to my body.

"I don't know what you are talking about." I finally heard her say. She wasn't still looking at me and I so wanted to kiss her right now.

"Do you want me to demonstrate it then?" I chuckled at the mere thought of tasting those full lips again.

"No." She stated briskly. "So are you saying that you remember it now?" I spoke to her like one would to a 3 year old.

"Yes." She spoke like a biddable, sweet natured child. Still not looking at me, Her arms skid in between our chests to acquire whatever space she could. I didn't like it one bit. I began to undo the hijab that covered her hair. I wanted to feel it's softness under my chin.

She wasn't stopping me at all. It was an indication that she desired the same things as I did. I was longing for her kiss now. I fondled with her hair as soon as I set them free. I had a strange fascination to it.

I raised her chin so that her face was visible to me. She was still not meeting my eyes. "Look at me." I mandated. She still didn't compel.

"Anaabiya." I spoke softly this time and her eyes at once snapped to mine. Now that I see her so closely, she had huge dark circles underneath her eyes and she looked sleep deprived. All this for me?

I smiled at her. "I want to kiss you." I confessed. Her body grew rigid and I could feel her stiffening under my touch. She was breathing heavily already. I placed my hand on her cheeks and caressed it a little. Her eyes immediately shut at the contact as if she was enjoying it too. My eyes were now gazing at her full lips shamelessly.

Without further delay I leaned on and captured her lips with mine. Unlike the last time, this kiss started off slow and benign. Her lips still tasted like strawberries. My merriment knew no bounds when she slowly and steadily began to respond.

I licked the seam of her lips with the tip of my tongue, asking her for an ingress. I Softly nipped at her lower lips. I wanted to amplify the kiss. She opened her mouth finally giving me access to taste the sweetness of her mouth. I moulded my tongue into hers, coaxing her mouth to open wider. Her hand that was previously resting in between us, ever so slowly moved up to hold the side of my cheeks. She was responding and retorting to my tongue with equal passion. I smiled at her lips. I still couldn't believe my luck. She was kissing me so hard, licking every corner of my mouth zealously.

That triggered me even more and the craving and longing only intensified. I couldn't get enough of her. We deepened our kiss, our tongue now intertwined and tangled against each other succulently. She moaned so sensuously and lusciously that I wanted nothing else but to ravish her then and there.

I began to move on top of her whilst not breaking the kiss even once. Her eyes were shut like she was savouring this moment. I could now feel her fingers rubbing against my cheek, while her other hand traced an unknown pattern over my abs.

God! This woman will kill me one day. She was a living torture. I felt like I was going to pass out just any moment. It felt as though I drank a gallon of alcohol. Her kiss had a healing touch. I had never felt so powerful and weak at the same moment in my entire life.

The depletion of oxygen clogged my mind and when I couldn't take it any longer, I decided to break the kiss even though it was the last thing I wanted to do.

I moved my lips away, from hers grasping for air. It wasn't just me but her too. We rested our forehead on each other, panting hard.

I kissed her lips again, although it was just another peck. I did once again before I began to kiss the edge of her jaw and the side of her neck, licking and sucking on her skin gently. She moaned and turned to give me better access. She was enjoying this as much as I was. Her whimpering and moaning were like melody to my ears.

I pushed my hand under her top, slowly upward until I touched what I wanted to. She yanked my hands abruptly and a look of bewilderment captured her face, all the whimpering and moaning had now ceased. She was flabbergasted as she peered at me as if she had seen a ghost and began to struggle under my weight.

Wrong move idiot! I mentally scolded myself. But the softness of her skin had me yearning for more. I was absolutely sure that she could feel the hardness of my manhood right now. I wasn't embarrassed to show her that I wanted her.

"Stop struggling or I will kiss you again." I warned and she halted her movements at once. Now that my feelings subsided, the pain in my body only escalated. I felt like all my energy had been drained out.

The door to the room burst open all of a sudden and in walked a very disoriented looking Huzaifa. The minute his eyes rested on us, a mixture of happiness and bewilderment flashed in his eyes before he turned around abruptly. "Ya Allah! I didn't see anything. Yes, I didn't see anything. I promise I didn't." Huzaifa ranted.

Anaabiya again hid her face in my chest. I smiled smugly. Right timing brother.

"Shit! You are supposed to rest and not do this." Huzaifa spoke like he was disgusted. I took the hijab kept on the side and covered her head properly so that her hair was hidden properly. She looked at me with eyes as wide as soccer balls. I gave her a reassuring smile.

"Anyway good to have you back brother. You scared us all. I'll just go. Call me when you guys are done." He still didn't turn around to face us again, instead he left, sparing us with some privacy.

As soon as he was gone Anaabiya began to struggle under my weight again. "I nee ... Need to gg..go." She stuttered nervously.

"Not before you give me a kiss again." I said playfully. She bit on her lower lip and looked at me with an unknown emotion swirling in her eyes.

"You have 10 seconds to save yourself. Ten.. Nine..." I shut my eyes counting backwards.

"Humza please let me go." She spoke softly. I motion my head from left to right. "Eight... Seven... Six...five.." I continued until I finally felt her lips on mine. It was a small peck again but it was fine for now. I smiled like never before as I now moved away from top of her. She at once got up and splintered towards the door, adjusting her appearance.

She didn't turn around and I completely understood that. A minute after she left me smiling like an idiot to myself, Bibijaan strolled in along with two or three more people, one of them being Huzaifa. She strode to my side and kissed my forhead. "Ya Allah I can't thank you enough. Shukar ya rab!" tears of joy escaped her eyes as she took some money from Huzaifa and began to encircle it around my face.

"How do you feel now?" Bibijaan asked. Before I could answer her Huzaifa beat me to it. "He is far more fine than we could have thought of" He smirked.

I looked around for Anaabiya but she wasn't around. I felt the urge to look at her again. Now is she going to ignore me? I clenched my Jaws at the sudden thought.

"Oh my god Humza, are you fine? I took the first flight I could when I was informed of the mishap." A familiar female voice spoke from near the door. I looked behind Bibijaan to see who my new visitor was.

I was shell shocked to see her here. I shut my eyes close as I tried to calm myself and control my anger.

Why was Hazel here?
