" Zara Anwar is waiting for you. You go home with him. Me and Nayab will be coming later."He said to Zara and held my hand.

My heart skipped a beat again.

For the first time I heard him calling me by name.

He pulled me with him to the car. Zara was smirking at me while bidding me bye.

He pushed me inside the passenger seat.

I was silent and obedient unlike me.

I'm not my bold and self confident self when I'm with him.

He started his car and I came back from my daze.

"Where we are going?" I asked him trying not to stutter.

For Allah's sake this is the same man you have fought with, thrown hot coffee and jabbed as well. Stop being timid.

"For romantic lunch." He sang it and whistled.

"Will you stop behaving this oddly?" I asked him annoyed.

"Stop being so beautiful." He said giving me one intense glance.

I thought it's better that way to keep silent because this man is very dangerous for my dear existence.

So I diverted my mind and gaze towards the road.

He also didn't said anything further.

After half an hour he pulled out his car in a restaurant's parking lot.

He opened the door for me and held my hand.

I felt uncomfortable and tried to free it but this stubborn of a man didn't let me. After trying a little more I gave up.

He led me to secluded region of the restaurant. The table was decorated in a romantic way.

He surely had booked it before.

We had our lunch in silence.

"I hope you forgive me." He said out of the blue.

What's there to forgive him. Is he talking about kissing me?

"I wasn't able to contact or meet you before, I mean after our nikah because I was really busy with the project I cracked on the second day of our nikah. It wasn't because this marriage was forced on me or something."He said explaining me why he was not able meet me.

Did Mumma told him about my insecurities?

I hope not.

" I understand, you don't need to ask for forgiveness. "I said to him calmly.

" Are you sure?"He said looking at me intently.

" So now you have no problem with our wedding."He asked me clearly in mischief laced voice.

I felt my cheek turning hot.

" You look beautiful when you blush."His comment made my already hot cheek to become hottest.

I should've put niqab as well.

After composing myself I stood up.

" I guess we should go now."

He nodded and picked his keys from the table.

This time he didn't held my hand but walked by my side.

We didn't exchanged any word after that.

When we reached haweli everyone was having their nap as Aima told us.

I came to my room and freshened up.

It was long day yet beautiful.

It was really awesome day.

Almost whole day with her, around me.

I occasionally glanced her but tried myself to not create any awkward situation. I never wanted to make her uncomfortable around me.

The whole tour was awesome.

The look of her wide eyes glinting with surprise and adoration when she saw something new was unforgettable.

I thought it was the best opportunity to pull out the thorn of her insecurities. So, after taking permission from every elders I took her to the restaurant for our first lunch date.

There also I tried not to make her uncomfortable with my words or action.

She had her lunch without bothering about me judging.

Buzz of my phone snapped me out. I looked at the caller id. It was Aleeza my P. A.

"Sir, the first meeting is supposed to be today at 7pm onward."She informed as soon as I picked the call.

" Is everything ready? "I asked her about every needed documents.

" Yes, sir. "She answered me shortly.

" Ok, I will be at hotel in time."I told her sitting upright on my bed and disconnected the call.

It has been two days since I came Canada for my business delegation.

Today is the first delegation out of the five.

I hope everything goes well.

Sighing I got up and started to be ready for what I'm here away from my loved ones.
