2565

He looked like a kid who had been caught stealing cookies.

"Don't you think it's unfair that I didn't see you for almost a week and you got to see me 24/7?" I finally spat leaving him too gobsmacked and dumbfounded.

"Don't you dare touch my things again." He yelled ignoring and disregarding my last query. He strode away next to the cupboard in search of something. This was getting on my nerves.

I walked towards his side turning him around by his shoulder so that he may now face me. "Don't you dare change the topic. I want an answer. I have asked you something and you will answer me." My voice boomed as I tried to intimidate him but who was I kidding. He wasn't even fazed by it.

"Don't flatter yourself. I have cameras all over the house. It's not just you. I am trying to search for the traitor and that could be anyone." His voice held malice and I know that hurt flashed in my eyes as I tried to blink back the tears.

"You don't mean that." It was more of an explanation to myself. He looked away immediately ignoring the tears in my eyes.

"I mean every single thing. I already told you. I was just playing around to win your love. There was always this fire in you that irritated me and I wanted you to submit to me. And Well I succeeded. Just look at you." His voice was cold and he didn't even look at me. I felt betrayed. I couldn't understand him. Even if he was doing it purposely, he shouldn't have said this.

I stood there still, staring into space. I sucked in a sharp breath as I rubbed my eyes to wipe away the tears before they could fall.

"I brought you food." My eyes were casted to his foot and I could feel his eyes on me now. I couldn't stare back because I dreaded that if I did, I wouldn't be able to stop myself from weeping.

"O please stop pretending that we are a happy couple because we aren't even close to it." He was saying the truth. What was i even expecting?

"I made biryani for you. I thought you would like it. Eat it or throw it. I am not taking it back." I said and waited for him to say something but he didn't. He didn't even put up a fight with me and I was amazed. I turned on my heel and stormed out of the cabin. No point staying there.

The moment I was out, my tears felt incessantly. I wiped it back. Stop expecting you fool! My brain scolded me whilst I made my way out. This place was not even an office.

I had merely taken nine to ten steps from his cabin when I collided to a wall. Well it wasn't a wall, it was a human, a very handsome and gorgeous human to be more precise. I wasn't even falling but his arms raked around my waist and he held me close to himself. My eyes immediately popped out because of our proximity and I placed my hands in between us.

"I am so sorry. Are you hurt?" His voice was husky and dark but it was alluring nonetheless. "I am fine. Now will you please move your hand?" I tried to push him but he didn't even budge. He was a dark-haired man, at least six foot- two inch in height, ruggedly look with a shadowed beard and an aristocratic face. He was well built just like Humza.

"Then why are you crying lady?" He looked at me, his gaze piercing holes into my being. "Just leave me." I shifted again trying to push him.

"Not before you tell me your name beautiful." His smirk was also fascinating. Alas! He was one of the most good looking people I had ever met.

"Hands off my wife you moron." Humza's voice held so much aggression that I cringed back in fear. He was right behind me. His hands immediately grabbed my arm from behind, pulling me backwards. In an instant the handsome man loosen his grip and I fell in Humza's arm. My breathing hitched. It was the side effect of Humza.

I looked at him to find him glaring at the man in front of us. "Sorry man I didn't know that this beauty was already taken." The handsome man held his hands above his head faking surrender as a very salacious smile captured his lips.

Humza pulled me behind him possessively, hiding me from the man like a kid who would hide his favorite toy.

I wanted to throw a fit but his anger scared me to my core. "What brought you here Shahzil?" Humza's voice was venomous and I tried to shift back in fear, when Humza caught my arms and pulled me behind him again. He threw a glare and this time I reflected his guise because I was angry. He can't say that he cares a damn and act like a jealous husband.

"Well Ahmed Bhai is in town and he has called you for dinner tomorrow. He has asked me to tell you to bring along your wife with you, your real wife this time." Shahzil spoke with poise as he tried to look at me but I was almost hidden behind Humza.

"She can't come." Humza said almost immediately. "And why may that be?" Shahzil cocked an eyebrow at Humza.

"That's none of your business." Humza spat. "Woah man! Just chill. Ahmed bhai won't be happy to know that you refused to bring her along." I heard him say. Humza's body stiffened as he shook his head vigorously. "Huzaifaaa." He shouted and within minutes Huzaifa came out through one of the doors. He had a pistol in his hand and was covered in sweat. Fear immediately filled my insides as I stared at him. It was an irony that I immediately clinged onto Humza's back for safety. My body was almost smudged to his behind. Humza's muscles grew rigid and tense. Huzaifa must have sensed my terror as he immediately pulled his hand behind him, hiding his gun from me.

"Treat him nicely. I'll be back." Humza snapped and soon he started walking away while literally dragging me along with him like I was some rag. I could feel Shahzil's eyes on me as we passed him.

Humza's anger was scary. He was ready to murder anyone right now. "Where are you taking me?" I managed to question him as I felt embarrassed when all his guards looked at me strangely. "Just shut up." He shouted and I had to. Just you wait Mr Humza. I will take my revenge.

By the time we reached the front door, I still hoped for some miracle. I didn't want to be alone with him in this state. He wouldn't hurt me. Right?

Humza was unstoppable. He was tugging me along with him harshly not stopping until we reached his car.

When we reached his car, he took the car's remote out of his pocket and unlocked it. He brought me to the passenger's door. "Get in." He finally let me go, waiting for me to Obey him. Reluctantly, I opened the door and got inside. As soon as I closed the door, he locked it, preventing any possible escape. I grunted audibly, despising him for thinking about all the possible outcomes of this situation.

I looked around me, taking in the luxurious interior of the car. It radiated sheer power, just like Humza himself. For a moment I felt peaceful as I inhaled his intoxicating smell. For in this moment I realized that he was my ease as well as my nightmare.

He got inside on the drivers seat "Buckle up now."

I barely had time to do so as in the very next moment he started the engine and sped up. He reached the road in full speed. The lights on the road were passing too quickly for my taste, and I had to grab my seat to steady myself when he made a sharp turn into a new street. "Slow down please." I shut my eyes close not wanting to see anything more. This reminded me of that night. I shrugged the thought away before it could get the best of me.

I opened my eyes to find his eyes searing into me. "What did I say? Just shut the fuck up!" His voice had me cringe back in fear.

"Plea.. Please just stop. It reminds me of the accident." A tear immediately fell from my eyes as my fences finally broke. I noticed the turbulent emotions in his eyes, taking me completely by surprise.

In an instant he reduced the speed but then I realized that it was not because of me. It was because we had finally reached home. His vexation was evident as he quickly went out and unlocked my side pulling me out. "I can walk." I finally shouted because I was frustrated and done.

He didn't say a word and just hauled me along. I had to almost run to match his long strides. My head was already paining. He took me all the way up to my room. I saw Malika watching us and snickering in delight and my temper started to rise. I would occasionally stumble on my way until we finally reached my room. He opened it and I expected him to shove me inside. I thought he would lock me inside again but he didn't. He took me to the washroom in the room. What was he even trying to do was beyond me.

"What's wrong with you?" I looked at him in utter shock as he pulled me under the shower turning it on. Water immediately gushed on both of us as he caged me in between the wall and himself. Within seconds both of us were completely drenched and my white top was already a bit transparent.

Heat rushed to my cheeks as I felt his eyes scrutinizing me from head to toe. I tried to turn away and spree from his hold but he was fast enough to pull me back while holding my hands above my head. I felt completely exposed.

I couldn't meet his eyes. "Look at me in the eye." His voice wasn't harsh anymore. My heart beat was speeding up by every second because of our proximity. I felt tiny shivers wrecking my body. I gazed at his fascinating brown orbs and He looked distressed as he searched for something in my eyes desperate for...desperate for what?

"What are you even doing?" I almost whispered as both of us were now completely wet. "I am washing away his touch. No man can ever touch you. Do you get it?" I felt goosebumps all over my body. He confused me so much. I looked at him in bewilderment. If he moved an inch further we could be kissing. Well his body was already sticking to mine, pushing me to the edge of ecstacy. I couldn't allow this. He can't hurt me and then order me around. I wanted him to confess and as I felt his eyes on my lips, I immediately shuddered anticipating the pleasure of his lips on mine. For seconds he kept on staring at my face as water dripped from his hair nose and chin.

He began to lower his face like he was lost. To be honest, he looked even more sexy when he was wet and I couldn't take my eyes off him. I wanted him so much but I knew that I had to wait. Good things come to those who wait. And so I pushed him the moment his lips touched mine. I knew that would make him even more frustrated.

He was taken aback as he threw a glare my way. "Don't you give me that look. What do you even want? Why can't you be clear to me? Have I done something wrong that you were treating me that way all this while?" I was crying but he wouldn't know as it fell along with the water that was constantly falling. He seemed to have been pulled out of his trance as he began to pull his own hair out of agitation.

Without a word he began to leave but I couldn't let that happen.

"Just answer me this. If you don't love me, Why did you leave Stacy in her room that night and why did you come to my room? Why are you pretending Humza? I already know that you love me. It's so evident. I am not a fool. You deliberately trying to hurt me won't get this anywhere." Humza had already ceased his footsteps but I faced his back because he didn't turn around.

" I. don't. love. you." He seethed emphasizing on each word. "When was the last time you slept with any of your mistresses?" It was the only question that managed to shut him up. He didn't answer me as he left without another word for he knew I was saying the truth. I just watched him leave as I was finally proud of myself, unaware of the fact that I had only worsen my case.

I later changed my clothes and offered my prayer. I didn't see Humza again as he was gone this time too. I Was just sitting idle trying to think about Humza's problem. I was busy thinking when I saw Maliha at my door. "It's been so long since we had a proper conversation." She said. We then talked for hours and I finally decided to ask her about Malika.

"The other day I wanted to ask you about Malika. Why is she so precious to Humza?" I rested my head at the headboard waiting for her to reply.

She folded her legs as she sat on my bed comfortably. "Malika was the only survivor on the night of the accident. The night when Bashar uncle died. Four people died in that accident. Humza bhai blamed himself for Malika's misery too since she was orphaned because of him. She didn't even have any siblings nor did any of her relative agree to take her in. She was too young back then. Humza bhai let her live with them. He distanced himself from her but as she became older, she started throwing herself at Humza bhai. He tried to stop her but she wouldn't listen and hence the rest you know is history." She said sadly and I finally understood. Humza was in depression. He blamed himself for everything.

And I knew it very well that the only solution to his problem was ALLAH.
