W O R d C O U N T:

"That one. I'll try on her." I gulped the golden brown liquid and felt the burning sensation in my throat.

"Brother, trust me let's go home. We have been trying for a couple of hours. This only proves that you have grown old now." I threw a glare at Huzaifa who looked away with a smirk and drank his vodka all in one gulp.

"Don't give me that look. I can't believe we are doing this. We don't even look like we are the Mafias." Huzaifa groaned while I scanned the crowd for any suitable girl.

"Just shut the fuck up and let me think." I growled. "Give me one more shot." Huzaifa spoke to the bar tender and then to me. "You know what this is a stupid idea. How senseless can you be? Let's just jump to plan B."

"She'll start hating me. That's all I want. I don't want her to..." I was in the middle of my sentence when a blonde chick interrupted in between. "Hello handsome. Mind if I join you guys?" The girl looked like she had been transformed from a C grade movie. Her clothes were tight and revealing almost all her assets. She stared at me waiting for my answer whereas I just stared back at her ballantly. I felt a sudden poke at my side and I turned to look at Huzaifa who was gesturing me to say a yes.

"Uuhhhh yes... Please join us." I said almost immediately. Her eyes lit up like that of a toddler. Huzaifa instantly moved aside to the next seat leaving a seat in between us.

"I am Sarah." She began to take the seat beside me. "Humza." I did a curt nod. She gave me a sultry smile while placing her hand on my thighs while she tried adjusting herself on her seat. I flinched visibly and moved aside abruptly as if her touch was burning me. As I suddenly moved away, she nearly lost her balance. She held onto her own chair and saved herself from the embarrassment. A scowl immediately appeared on her face but she masked it soon when I glared at her.

The fuck is wrong with me?

"So what's your occupation?" Huzaifa began to cough loudly at her question whilst I glared at him. She easily forgot her question when I indulged her in some other question. I was bored as fuck because she was continuously blabbering beside me. I nodded my head occasionally waiting for myself to feel aroused by her sultry gestures so that I could take her home but that didn't happen. When she saw that I wasn't showing any interest she dropped her keys and bent down purposely to seduce me as her deep necked attire was barely covering anything now. She smiled at me seductively. Anaabiya's beautiful face flashed in front of my eyes and I looked away groaning in frustration. I clenched my fist as I was beyond irritated now.

"Fuck this. I am done." I said to no one in particular before I grabbed Sarah's hand and pulled her along with me towards the exit.

"Told ya oldie." I heard Huzaifa say behind me. He knew me like the back of his hand and he was aware of what I was exactly going to do with her. Time for plan B.

I clenched my jaws as the girl couldn't stop squealing behind me. "Easy babe. I am not running away." I heard her chuckle. I ignored her because I didn't want to scare her away right now.

I took her all the way to my car. "Get in fast." I scoffed. Her eyes glittered at the sight of my luxurious car. She got in quickly and looked around with admiration. I sat beside her on the driving seat. Her eyes snapped to mine and she smiled wickedly. "You are so horny. Do you want me to undress right now?" Her hands went behind her zipper when I yelled. "Shut the fuck up." She jumped back in her seat because she didn't expect it. I sped up the engine and was driving insanely. It was merely a 15 minutes ride back home.

"That's not the way you can treat me. I know you might be wealthy and all but you can't just treat me..." She was constantly talking and I decided to shut her up. I pulled out the gun from my waistband and flaunted it. "You see what this is?" I immediately saw her eyes tearing as she clutched onto her seat and moved far away from me.

"Please don't kill me." She shuddered. "I'll kill you if you don't shut the fuck up." I yelled and she pressed her lips tightly.

"Good! Now no harm will come to you if you do what I ask you to do. I just need your help to make my wife jealous." Her eyes widened and she looked at me as if I had grown two heads but she chose to not utter a word. Clever girl, I must say.

I came back home and tucked my gun back in my waistband and pulled her out of the car. She was nearly in tears.

We entered together. I tugged her along with me towards the first floor where Anaabiya's room was.

"Okay listen, no need to fear. I won't hurt you, not until you do what I say." I spoke to her while she listened to me attentively. I looked around to see if there was anyone in the corridor but since it was already late, everybody might just be asleep.

"You see that room." I pointed towards Anaabiya's room and she nodded her head. By now she had stopped crying and was actively taking part in my plan.

"Just walk with loud footsteps near that door and come here to me. The moment a girl comes out, just moan and act along. You know do stuffs like that and then walk inside this room. Do you understand?" I pointed at the door we were standing near. I myself couldn't believe I was doing this for a girl.

She looked bewildered but nevertheless nodded her head in agreement. "But don't try to push your luck or it'll be my gun and your head." My voice was sharp and she flinched. "Fine." She mumbled.

"Go now." I gazed at her as she uncomfortably moved towards Anaabiya's door and stomped towards me hurriedly. I held her close to me as we waited for the door to open but it didn't.

"Fuck. Do it again and this time tap your foot harder." She rolled her eyes at me but walked again. The same thing happened, Anaabiya didn't come out. What if she was asleep?

"This is a stupid plan Mr Humza. Why not push that vase? She will definitely come out after hearing the noise." She suggested. "No I can't do it. That would make it so obvious." I snarled.

"Fine I'll do it then." She took a step towards the wooden stand when I plunged towards her to stop her from doing it. "Don't you.." A loud crashing sound echoed in the corridor as I myself accidentally hit the wooden stand, making the vase fall from the impact.

"What the fuck?" I whisper yelled. Sarah couldn't hide her smirk. Fury danced in my eyes. I took out my gun to scare her but Anaabiya's door creaked open and I immediately tugged Sarah to me whilst leaning onto a wall. I barely pressed my lips against the corner of her cheeks and held my gun to her stomach. Sarah's body began to tremble.

I heard Anaabiya's light footsteps as I shut my eyes completely not wanting to see her. I couldn't just watch her being hurt. It would only weaken me.

"Don't act smart or you know what happens." I said meekly so that only Sarah could hear me. It seemed as if she was suddenly possessed by a horny soul as she began to lick and suck the area near my collar bone. I was shell shocked. She was doing it like a pro and I wondered if Anaabiya was still there.

Don't open your eyes. You'll fall weak. I mentally scolded myself.

I began to moan and caress her back but there was still no response.

Fuck you brain.

I opened my eyes slightly to take a peek but couldn't close them shut again as I stared at Anaabiya with eyes as wide as soccer balls. My jaws were literally on the floor as I shamelessly gaped at her. She wore a nightwear that I had never even dreamt of seeing her in. What happened to her? I gulped down the dry lump in my throat. I would be lying if I said I wasn't aroused. I scanned her from head to toe, my resolve was now slowly falling weak as my hands now dropped at my sides. I Couldn't help but feel the want to undress her as soon as possible. My groin tightened even more. I felt the sudden urgency to push Sarah aside and take Anaabiya to her room. I wanted to do certain things to her, things that had been running in my mind ever since the first day I saw her, the things she had never experienced in her life. My eyes shamelessly raked along her curves and finally stopped at her eyes.

Her eyes were blazing with Fire and hatred. I felt as if an ice bucket was thrown at me.

I broke her.

My heart suddenly churned into million knots as I stared at her teary eyes. For a second I wanted to just engulf her in my arms and tell her that I love her but I had to control myself. I quickly tugged my gun back in it's place before she could see it.

"C'mmon baby it's been so long. Let's go in and continue." Sarah leaned to my side and purred in my ears while nibbling it seductively. She then walked inside motioning me to follow. I couldn't believe that she was the one who was scared to death when we were on our way here. She seemed confident now. It was fishy but it could be dealt with later.

Hurt and pain of betrayal was evidently written on Anaabiya's face and I could no more meet her eyes. I had broken her. After contemplating for about two minutes, I followed Sarah inside not glancing at Anaabiya even once. I went in immediately and ordered Sarah to Moan. She began to whimper and moan sensuously. I could barely control my laughter. This was really stupid. Knowing Anaabiya, I waited for her to come in and shout at me but she didn't.

"Shhh." I whispered and slowly made my way to the door. I peeked out to find nobody outside. Anaabiya was gone. She wasn't there anymore.

Maybe I hurt her a lot. She would probably be hating me right now. Suddenly I felt Sarah's hand being wrapped around my stomach. She was hugging me from behind.

I jumped back pushing her away. I was gobsmacked to find her half naked. "What the fuck is wrong with you? The drama is over. I'll ask my driver to drop you. Go now." I snapped but she moved forward.

"But there is no harm in having a little fun." She made those puppy dog eyes and I felt fury swirling in the pit of my stomach.

I immediately grabbed her neck and pushed her to the wall. "What did I tell you? Don't try anything or I'll kill you." I spat venomously.

She struggled under my touch wanting to speak. She could barely breathe and I wanted to kill her too but I had to stop and so I let her go. She immediately fell back and stared at me with wide eyes. "No.. This is fuck..." I was going to say when I felt a hand on my shoulder. Anaabiya turned me around abruptly. I felt my heart in my throat and before I could even understand anything she punched me on my face.

It was not very hard but there, ladies and gentlemen, that's my Anaabiya for you.

"You are worse than a male prostitute." She spat menacingly as I stumbled back. Her eyes were a mixture of hatred, disappointment, anger and the pain of betrayal. I heard Sarah gasp in shock behind me. I did expect Anaabiya to shout at me but a punch was out of the blue. She never fails to amaze me. I had to mask the admiration in my eyes and glare at her openly.

She turned around to leave but I caught her arms and pulled her to me. I clenched my jaw to make it look believable. I gave her a deathly glare but she didn't even flinch. She was now wearing her normal clothes and she was completely covered. Did she wear that nightwear for me? I wonder.

I found myself losing the momentum and so I yelled loudly.

"What the fuck?" I Was dangerously close to her and it wasn't helping either. I could easily feel her breath on my face.

"Do you want me to repeat? Well you. are. worse. than. a. male. prostitute." Her voice was sharp this time.

I couldn't help but smirk at her choice of word.

"Do you know who you are talking to? I could kill you within the snap of my fingers." I faked anger and this time she shuddered. I thought she would give up but I forgot, this was Anaabiya we were talking about.

"Why don't you leave me? " She questioned leaving me speechless.

"Oh Darling I wish I could." I smirked almost leaning onto her as soon as I recovered from the shock.

"Don't you fear Allah?" This topic was untouchable to me and so I felt my temper rise.

"Don't teach me about Islam. Mind your own fucking business." I spat back.

"My business? Well guess what mister you are my business. Remember you are the one who married me forcefully." She said mockingly and tried pushing me back but failed miserably. I tightened my hold on her.

"You know that I can do a lot of things forcefully but I don't. So be thankful bitch." I snarled but regretted it soon. Tears soon filled her vision but she held them back.

"Why? Aren't those girls enough to satisfy you?" She pointed her fingers behind me and I was reminded of Sarah who was still here. I had almost forgotten about her.

"Enough!" I shouted.

"Get the fuck out of here." I snarled turning around to glare at Sarah. She at once picked her stuffs and scurried away hurriedly.

"Leave my hand and let me go." I heard Anaabiya whimper as she twisted her arms to set herself free.

"Stop being a bitch now and for God's sake stop being so clingy. Don't you get it that I fucking hate you? Why are you so desperate huh?" This was my chance to make her hate me and so I used it. She looked so broken and vulnerable, that I wanted to fix everything but I couldn't. This is how ALLAH decided to punish me, by taking away my only reason to live.

"Clingy? You call it clingy? I loved you Humza and I seriously did. How could you do it to me?" She grabbed my collar as tears fell from her eyes and I loosen my hold around her. Remorse coursed through my veins. I wanted to take back what I had said. I couldn't still decide. I was so confused. I wanted to do something to hurt her, make her hate me but I always ended up doing the opposite.

"It's enough now. I can't take it anymore. I have had enough. I am leaving. I am leaving right now. You can have fun with them." She cried and I felt myself shuddering. Fear conjured every cell in my being. She wouldn't leave me.

No she can't leave me. I can bare her hatred but I can't let her leave.

She turned around to leave when I tightened my hold around her arms. "You can't go. You can't leave the house." To hell with the hatred. I pushed her off limits and now she planned to leave me. I wasn't ready for this and so I panicked.

"I am leaving Humza. You can't torture me anymore. I'll go far away from your life." I felt as if someone was detaching my heart from my body. The pain was intense. For a moment I couldn't think properly.

"I. Said. You. can't. Leave. Me." This time I growled to intimidate her but I was nervous and I am sure she knew it.

She twisted her hand out my hold and managed to set herself free. She was confused and she wasn't crying anymore. She twirled around to leave but I refrained her. I hugged her from behind. I Couldn't let this happen. I couldn't watch her leave. The thought itself was depressing. I wanted kill myself. I didn't want to live if she left. I wrapped my hands around her stomach tightly, dreading the fact that if I left it, she would vanish.

I Choked back a sob as I snuggled my head into the crook of her neck inhaling her intoxicating scent, hoping it would calm me down. I didn't want to cry or show my weakness to her. What would she even think?

She tried moving out of my hold and when I couldn't take it anymore, I let my guard fall. "Don't.." I breathed in nervously. "Please.." I pleaded. I felt her body stiffening all of sudden, as she slowly turned around to face me.

"Why?" She asked. Her brows furrowed in confusion as she saw the tears in my eyes. I can't believe I was crying in front of her.

"I don't know." I said and she laughed bitterly. "Great." She turned around but I stopped her again. The fear was too much. "Please don't leave." I pleaded again.

"Why would I stay when you hate me so much? Are you even listening to yourself? You say you hate me? What kind of a hatred is this?" She yelled and I just kept my mouth shut for I didn't have any answer to it. All I knew was that I am selfish enough to not let her leave. Even if I had to confess my love for her to make her stay, I would. I was a mess and I was clueless.

"You know what Humza? By the time you'll realize the thing, I'll be gone. I would never return then..you confuse me so much. You betrayed me and you cheated on me. Do you want me to show you how it feels when your spouse cheats on you? I will gladly show it to you and then you will..." Dread filled my heart as I couldn't bare the thought of seeing her with someone else and so I decided to finally confess.

"I love you." I said. I could hear my own heart beat, it was that loud.

"You what?" She yelled.

"I said I love you." I repeated as I took a step closer to her, holding her face in my hands. She stayed still as I caressed her lips with my thumb.

"Is this one of your games again?" Her voice was jagged and a lone tear escaped her eyes. "No. I really do." I said desperately while wiping away the tear. She just stared back at me. I found myself leaning onto her. I wanted to kiss her so much. I could have kissed her if she hadn't placed her hand in between our lips.

"I am sorry that's not possible. I am not a slut. I am your wife and you cheated on me." She spat pushing me away.

"I didn't cheat on you I swear. I was just making you jealous." I spoke hurriedly and she scowled. "So you mean that you hurt me so much just for fun? You did on purpose? Is that what you mean?" She pushed my shoulders and I stumbled back.

"Yes." I accepted. "But why?" She shouted.

"I'll tell you when the time is right." I placed my hands on her shoulders and she laughed bitterly.

"You hurt me so much and you don't even want to tell me why? Well Humza go to hell" She shouted, jerking my hands away from her shoulder.

"I... I.. Will make it up to you. Just let me kiss you this once." I said hoping that I would make her forget everything with a kiss. If only it was that easy.

"No. That's not possible." She moved back and I panicked.

"Well that was possible yesterday and it will still be possible today and every coming day." She rolled her eyes at me and began to move further away. She turned around and started walking towards her room as I followed behind her like a lost puppy.

"Where are you going?" I asked. "To my room." She answered.

"Fine I'll sleep with you today." I dictated. I didn't ask her because I knew she would never agree.

"In your dreams." She laughed.

"But I want to kiss you. Anaabiya we can discuss this later. I'll make you forget every pain today." I held her elbow but she jerked me away.
