since that day her husband saved her. She just stayed in her own world not minding anything around.

That was her.

She would avoid everything by keeping herself smiling and doing everything. She walked inside her caretaker house looking around to everyone doing what they could.

She grinned walking further inside the house loving the air already.

"You look tired". Shaima said looking at her

She shrugged, "Bad night. Can I sleep in?".

"What about your family?". Shaima asked worriedly

"I told you they always send me here". She said smiling walking inside

She took steps inside the house and after a long time today she again felt how she felt when she first entered this place.

*******

"My mother told me she was here". He said looking at the elderly woman he can't remember the name of

"Beta (son), come inside. She is just sleeping". Shaima said smiling

He nodded taking steps inside the orphanage. He already knew about her being an orphan his mother choose her when she came to visit this place.

So, he was already introduced to all of this place.

He took steps inside towards her room he had been in. It was like a replay of the day he came here to meet her and found everyone running after her. She wouldn't wear what they had in for her and so have them all run for her.

He chuckles.

He opened the door to her room entering inside to find the same room he had found before. He looked down to find her sleeping peacefully in her small bed. He moved near her while his eyes stayed glued to her face. The more steps he took the more his heartbeat rises.

Somehow, he ended beside her for the first time in a very long time. He turned his head looking at her face admiring her up close.

*******

"You cannot do this". She yelled angrily looking at the man she hated

Amir smirked, "My love, I heard you are married how can you do this to me?".

"Shut up. We are not going to pay you a single penny so be on your way". She said

"Zaina, don't do this. We do this every year it's ok". Shaima said holding her hand

She pulled her hand taking a step near him, "I have permission to hit you so if you don't move in next second you are dead".

Amir raised his eyebrows, "You think you can fight this, princess".

"Stop calling me names and that is all fat". She said

Before she can hit him he held her hand pulling her body towards him holding her by her neck. Everyone around them gasps scared of the man and the knife he had on her throat.

"Your hands are pretty". Amir said as she struggles against him, "Wonder how your husband will feel if I cut it?".

"He wouldn't". She heard his angry voice

She looked at him taking threatening steps near them.

"Leave her now". He said angrily glaring at Amir

"You are the husband?". Amir said not approving, "I thought you would be something better".

"Hey! He is better than you. You jerk". She said angrily pushing him off her

His eyes widen as he saw her pushing Amir and he quickly holds her behind him.

"Guards". He yelled angrily as he saw his people coming in, "Make sure I never see him again here".

He took her hand walking her outside of the panic house and everyone shouting at her. He stopped near his car opening her door making her sit down.

"Did you see how I pushed him?. It was so awesome". She said happily

"Do you have to be in trouble everywhere you go?". He said shaking his head hiding his smile

She shrugged nonchalantly, "Didn't you search about me before marrying me?. My name is trouble".

"I guess I missed that one". He said

"Oh, I thought I was the only stupid one who didn't search about who she was marrying but then you are whole other level of stupid". She said shaking her head

"Yeah, yeah, whatever". He said waving his hand

"You need to search for who you marrying how come we didn't do that?. I have to ask Zina to do it or she might end with some stupid too". She said waving her hand around

He looked at her hand shocked holding it in his own hand as he saw the huge cut from which the blood was pouring.

"What is this?". He asked bending down in front of his car still looking at her hand

"He managed to cut it?". She questioned herself then shrugged, "I guess he did what he said".

"At least say you are hurt. How can you be so careless when there is so much blood?". He said angrily

"Why are you angry?. It's just a little blood and I am not even hurt. Wait, I didn't even know-". She started

"Fine. Don't speak and wait for me". He said running to the other side

He took the first-aid kit in his hand running back to her side bending in front of her gently holding her hand in his.

"You need to be careful not to hurt yourself when you are fighting someone". He said as he took a little medicine on the cotton

"But, how can I do that?. Its either I save myself or just fight. I choose lateral". She said as he placed the medicine on her cut making her wince in pain

His face fell as he looked at her eyes shut down in pain. He wishes that he can hit that man once but he would do that later for sure. He blows on her hand to lessen the pain and quickly bandage her hand.

"Done". He said softly

She opened her eyes smiling at him causing him to skip a beat, "Thank you".

He pushed her hand back, "Be careful".

She shrugged smiling at her hand, "Mark of the warrior".

He looked at her weirdly, "What is wrong with you?".

"You should have found that before you married me". She said raising her head

His eyes widen as he looked at the cut on her throat he holds her chin raising her but she pushes him off her.

"What?". She said stubbornly

"You have another cut there". He said moving closer

"I can take care of myself". She said folding her hands over her chest

"No, let me do it". He said moving closer

She moved back, "No, I won't".

"Yes, I will. Now, stop moving". He said firm

She pouts looking away and he shakes his head at her attitude.

*******

"You know it's weird that you always create this wall and I also think you will be the first to end it". She said grinning

He rolled his eyes building the pillow wall in between them, "I am done with your ranting for the day".

"You were done with me even before we got married". She said laying down closing her eyes

"What is that supposed to mean?". He asked her but she didn't reply, "Fine, be that way".

He knows that he knew the meaning and she was under doctor dose so she can sleep without being in pain for her hand.

It still angered him that the man had the audacity to do this much to her. But, the way they talked and he talked to her seems to him like this wasn't there the first encounter so he must have come there often which also means more such encounters.

The more he thoughts the worst it get and the anger build in him even more.

"Please, no". She cried in her sleep

He frowned looking at the time and it was almost midnight and he had been thinking for so long. He heard her crying and moving some more to which he look above the pillow wall to see her moving and crying in her sleep repeating the same sentence.

He moved the pillow immediately away trying to make as much sense as he could of the situation. But, nothing made sense besides that she was crying in her sleep and he needed to do something. So, he gently held her to himself patting her back whispering words that he think would help her calm down.

He did what he could for some time and he didn't like her crying like this. It would be the first time he had seen an always happy girl crying like her world is being torn.

Something tore within him.

He held himself back from not thinking but he spent his whole night holding her to himself and just thinking.

"Please, don't leave me". Was her last word he heard

******

"What's wrong with you?". His friend asked the next day

"Nothing". He replied nonchalantly

"You were not listening to the deal and then you just blow it away". His friend argued

"It was just one deal". He said shrugging

"You know it wasn't just any deal". Kashif said

He shrugged, "I am not having a good day".

"Where were you yesterday?. I remember your mother calling you and asking you to go somewhere but you never came back". Kashif said

"You are behaving like my wife. Even she never asked me these many questions". He said groaning from the headache that was coming

"Because, you took that right from her even before she could have it". Kashif said walking away

He groaned.

******

"Where are you?". He asked dialling the number

The door opened with a bang startling him.

"I am here". Zaina said walking inside smiling

He looked at her stern, "Do you have to be loud?".

"Yeah, that is just how I have to be". She said nodding vigorously

He looked at her looking at each of her feature like it was the last time he would see.

"Your office is just like you, boring...". She started her rant while he remained on his seat looking at her moving around looking at everything

"How come she is here?". Kashif asked, "And how is that you didn't kill her?".

He looked at his friend annoyed, "You don't have any work?".

"I heard from outside that your wife walked in with loud sounds and how good she is so I just came to see if anyone is dead". Kashif said shrugging," She hasn't stopped talking since I walked in. Is she ok?".

"She is like that but she is ranting more than normal days". He said shrugging then looking back at her

"You were having a bad day. How is she going to help?". Kashif asked

"She talks so much that I won't even remember a thing". He replied smiling

"You are falling for her". Kashif said grinning

His head turned towards him, "What?. No".

"Yes, you are". Kashif said, "Don't be in denial for too long".

She received her call, "How did you find time to call me, Zina?".

Kashif turned around looking at her.

"I am in his office, why?". She asked curiously, "What?".

Both Zuhair and Kashif listen to her conversation.

"You are getting married?". She laughed, "So, you finally know what Shaima can do?".

"Don't laugh and speak quietly". Zina said nervously, "I will come to you, ok?".

She laughed then speaks quietly, "Yeah, yeah. I will come down".

She shakes her head turning around to tell Zuhair, "I am-".

"No, I want you here". Zuhair said walking near her, "I have some important work".

He pushed Kashif out of the room while Kashif had a break down in the middle of the day. He hadn't seen her much besides when she was with Zaina but the time he had watched her he knew she was for him.

But, knowing the woman he was going to send a proposal is getting married had his heart stopped.

Maybe, he was late.

"You idiot, go and talk to her". Zuhair said pushing him away

"H-How do-". Kashif started

"It's pretty obvious. My wife is just blind sometimes". Zuhair replied walking inside to handle his wife

"I wanted to meet her. It's important". She said crossing her hand on her chest

"No, you are not going to do that. You have to stay with me". He said smiling

"No, I want to leave. Why do you even want me?". She asked frowning

"Because...". He said thinking

"Because of what?". She asked firmly

"Because I like-". He started but was cut off with the door opening

"Sir, we have guests". His secretary said

"Finally! I am free". She said grinning trying to walk away

He holds her hand pulling her to himself, "No, you are not. Send them in".

She pouts glaring at him trying to push him away but he just smiles looking at her.

"Sir". His secretary said hesitated

She turned around with a little blush looking at the people smiling but her smile vanished and she tensed when she saw the person standing there. He watched how her smile went away and was replaced with the pain in her eyes.

"Do you know them?". He whispers in her ear

"What are you doing here?". The elder man- Hussain asked angrily

"Do you know my wife?". He asked Hussain

"He is my father". She said angrily
