"I can't please, how can i divorce her?"

"It's simple,by going to the court and f-" I cut iman's uncle off.

"I never asked for your opinion so just shut it." I groned.

I never knew this was coming.

I never knew she could want to leave me..

Iman told my parents the exact same words she said to me this morning and now we're both in front of my parents in the terrace and iman's stupid uncle and aunt are also there.

"Just shut it Azan." Dad said while glaring at me for a moment.

"But dad, they're trying to separate me from my wife. I know they forced her to leave me but i won't leave her." I clarified.

"Azan stop being a baby. Iman beta, you know what ever happened was a misunderstanding and we really did what we did just for you,we love you and to me you're my daughter and i know Azan has been nothing but a pain and the rest of us too but please think this true my dear,is this really what you want, i'll support you in every decision you make but please try to think it true." Dad explained.

Wait.. Is dad supporting her.

He wants her to leave me right, that's his plan, they want her to marry zayn right.

I stood up abruptly causing all eyes to turn to me.

"It's not going to happen,i don't care what your decision is but you're mine Iman and I'm not letting go,you all want her to marry zayn right? It can't happen, you're trying to force her right? Iman don't listen to them okay,we belong together and i-" i was speaking when she cuts me off and by she,i mean Iman people, this is the first word i heard from her since we all sat here and that word is fortunately my name.

I never knew my name sounds this sweet, can she just say my name again?

This actually makes me remember that this is the first time she's actually saying my name and it sounds extremely soothing.

How could i be so blind to see how beautiful and precious she is.

Now it's too late right?

No no it's not too late, it's never too late, i'll make her understand that we belong to each other. Our religion hates divorce right? So i won't let go, i'll have her forever. We'll begin afresh and we'll have a mini me and a mini her running around the house and we'll-

"Azan where are you lost? Iman's speaking to you." Mum's voice broke my blissful thoughts.

"Uhh, sorry. Please speak." I said while staring at her, she glanced at me and i didn't even bother averting my gaze, we both gazed at each other until she unfortunately moved her gaze from me to the floor.

Is the floor more delightful than i am?.

Please just look at me again eshgham.

Did i just give her a nickname? Not just any nickname but freaking eshgham? Do i really love her? The answer is I don't know.

"I'm saying that it's best if we split up Azan,i don't want to be with you anymore, heck i never wanted to be with you so please let's not drag this anymore." She said,her voice low as her gaze was still stuck on the floor.

My heart fell hearing what she just said.

She can't leave me,no...

This is what i've always wanted right? For her to get out of my life and now it's finnaly going to happen but why am i restless? Why am i sad?

Is it because I've finally come to terms of accepting her?

Is it because I'm falling in love with her?

Am i even falling in love with her? How do i know this feeling is love and not just guilt? How do i know I'm not just lusting after her?

I don't care,I don't care if this feeling is love or lost or whatever,all i know is that i can't let her go. I want this unreadable feeling that I've never ever felt even with Alishba,i want it forever, i want her forever..

"NO." I yelled startling her and everyone.

"No?" She finnaly raised her head up.

"You heard me, No,i can't, can't you see I'm changing,i want you in my life eshgham,i want to spend forever with you,i don't know what this feeling of wanting you with me is but all i know is that i want to cherish these feelings and i want you iman, please don't leave me, i'll be whoever you want and i'll do whatever you want eshgham, please i beg you don't go, okay don't talk to me if you want and don't even look at me,if you want i can leave the house for you so you can have space to think if you don't want to see my face for now but please stay in my life,you can hate me and fight with me but please don't divorce me." I pleaded, almost breaking down.

When i mean almost,i mean that I'm a second away from crying out while going on my knees.

I heard her laugh lowly before she spoke. "You must be kidding me. Please tell me you're kidding,i should stay warm you huh,so you could taunt me and insult me, this is what you've wanted i presume because you tried to give me back to bhai just cause you hated me and you were going to divorce me a week ago just cause your girlfriend is pregnant and now when she left you and betrayed you, you want to come to me, the second choice iman right? That's what i am, the object everyone uses, you all used me for what my dad left for me,you know when i first came here i was glad that i finnaly had a family but that was short lived,i never knew you guys were just using me,no wonder khala said she'll take me to some other country after our divorce and that's because she didn't want me near her family and my dad's hard-work,so I'm ending it all, i'll divorce Azan and leave this house and it'll be like we all never met, i'll start my life afresh and take care of what my dad worked for and i'll do it alone. I'll forever be grateful to you all because i got to know what love is, even if it was just for a little while but this is my final decision,i want to be free so please do it for me. I've been true so much, don't i deserve at least an inch of happiness" She sobbed as she spoke..

She looked broken and i broke her.

We all broke her,my mom used her for her wealth and her uncle and his family physically abused her.

We're all monsters.

Now she wants to be free,free from me but i can't,i can't give her what she's asking for..

"Iman,i can explain it ju-" Mum tried speaking but Iman cut her off.

"No Mrs Qureshi,i don't want to hear it." She said in a formal tone.

"You all heard my daughter,she wants freedom so please divorce her so i can take my daughter back home and treat her like she deserves." Iman's Aunt spoke in her sqeeky voice.

I hate this woman.

"Ooh can you tell me in what way does she deserve to be treated? Ooh ohh i know, like a slave right? Cause that's how you've been treating her for the past fourteen years, you heartless pig." I growled.

"I never spoke to you and besides that was then and it's in the past, now i know she's my daughter and i want to make amends and treat her like a princess." She had the guts to utter thoes disgusting words. I glared at her but before i could speak iman beat me to it.

"I've been telling you this for a while now, I'm an orphan and my parents died fourteen years ago so don't go arround calling me your daughter okay and I'm going nowhere with you, i'll leave on my own from now on, no friends, no so called husband,no family, just me." She said in a hard and cold voice.

She's changed and she's just too cold.

I'll do anything to see her the way she was before.

Just then an idea popped up in my mind.

Just wait and see iman,i won't let you go.

"I'll divorce you Iman but after you spend two more months here as my wife,in the same room with me and if you still want to divorce after that then i'll do it without any complain." I spoke feeling proud of myself..

I'm taking a big risk here. What if she still wants divorce after this two months? What am i supposed to do to make her forget about divorce in this two months?

"No, why would i want to do that, look don't joke around Azan, i'll divorce you with or without your consent." She spat.

Okay, this is going to be hard.

"Well then forget about us divorcing at all." I spat back.

"What are you saying azan? I don't want to live with you for two months." She countered.

"My decision still stands, you've stayed for some months now so what's two more months?" I asked with a shrug.

"Well we've never shared a room you nitwit and i'll like it to be like this, I'm not Alishba who wants to be in a room with you and do harram things so NO."

Uggh.

"I know I've messed up but can we please leave Alishba out of this, let's talk about us."

"Incase you've lost your memory let me rephrase it, there's no US and there's never going to be an US so get it true your thick skull." She said while glaring at me.

"Just stop it guys. Azan be a little bit more mature." Dad scolded.

"If me trying to work out my marriage is concedered as not being mature then please tell me what being mature is." I snorted and he glared at me.

I know this is the part where he trys to stop my deal and ask me to give in to iman's decision but hell no.

"Just shut it, you're the cause of all this,we said it from the beginning that if everything is over and any of you wants divorce then it'll happen and besides you have that girl right so what's the need for this tantrum." Dad yelled.

"You call this tantrum? I didn't say i won't divorce her,i just want her to be with me for two months and i have two reasons for that, one which is that I've learnt from my mistake and i want to give our relationship a try and two which is, we've been married for like 3 months or 4,i don't know but what I'm trying to say is that i'm not sure if the court will grant our request or maybe they can but still why not spend these two months together so it'll be half a year of us getting married before we file for the divorce and maybe try to work on our marriage before then and then maybe we won't even need to get a divorce after." I explained.

Since when do i know about stuffs happening in court?

Well I'm a lawyer now, whatever just to keeps her with me.

"I think Azan is right. Iman dear just agree to this, it's just two more months and then I'm sure your divorce will be quick after that, just stay these two months so we can mend our broken bond please,i know you hate me at the moment but i promise to explain why i did it but please just look at me like you've always did and do this for the khala you see in me before." Mum ended up crying at the end of her short speech.

I see Iman move from her sit and she moved to mum and sat on the little space in between my parents that was somehow big enough to accommodate her.

Gosh she's so thin. Well not that it's bad but she's a bit thinner than the slim size I'd go for, she's just devoid of every curve and i swear i don't think i can see my self lusting after her body cause mahn she's too thin.

Don't get me wrong, she's beautiful, actually she's georgous and if she was in a beauty competition, she'll definitely be the winner but at the same time she's just not attractive,well to me but i don't know about others and i hope she's unacctractive the other guys too cause i can't share her, what am i saying, she's beautiful and any guy could fall for her,well my brother did fall for her and now the thought of it makes me want to murder him if he wasn't my youngest brother.

Why am i acting like some whipped love sick teen?

Ughh.

"Hmmm." My thoughts got broken by iman's melodic sigh.

She looked like she wanted to say more but she hugged mum instead while mum looked shocked and iman opened her mouth to speak.

"Ahh i'll do it for you khala,i know I'm really mad at you at the moment but you're still the khala who was there for me when i was being forced into marriage and you're still the khala who gave me a new temporary home and i won't say that i'm not going to miss you all when i leave cause that'll be a very big lie but i'll get over it eventually and i hope we'll meet again in the future but in this two months i'll be here i don't think i should stay in his room when i still have my own room or are you guys expecting someone and there's no more rooms cause i could stay with fatima." She chickens out.

Please stop being difficult eshgham.

Wait- i said eshgham again? It's kinda catching on and i like it.

It suits her well.

"I'm just trying to work it out, just give me a chance these two months and if you still don't like me back then i'll let you go in a heartbeat, just give me a chance and let's leave as a couple for these two months and see where it goes please." I pleaded.

Where will these actually go?

"Don't let them brainwash you iman, I've been taking care of you since you were four and now I've found out you're my real daughter and your dad and i want you to come home with us and forget about them cause they're no good to you." Iman's Aunt spoke.

Like who asked for her opinion? She can't just shut up for a minute,can she?

"That's enough, for the very last time, I'm not your daughter and i'll never be and i think you should go home cause I'm actually staying here for two months and last time i checked, you're not related to the Qureshi's so please leave." -Iman.

**

"When are you moving into my room?" I asked eagerly.

"Never. I'm never moving in." She replied with a strug as she walked ahead of me towards her room.

"Oh c'mon,i just want this to work out and I've already explained the basics so please move in to my room." I pleaded.

Ugg can she not make me beg always.

"I said no,so leave me alone." She said. turning the door knob to her room, she was about to go in when i spoke.

"Okay tell me what you want me to do so you can move in with me, i'll do anything." I said clearly not believing my words.

Can i really do anything? I just want her to move in with me so bad but why do i even want that? Is she going to give me a chance.

I watch her hand on the door knob still as she flung her head towards me, with a small grin on her face.

"Anything?" She asked, the small grin still plastered on her face.

"Anything." I confirmed and her grin became wide.

She actually looks cute but i'm kind of regretting my decision now.

"I want all the documents of what my parents worked for back and i want you to stop the merging of my dad's industries with yours." She demanded.

What the-

"I don't have the documents and i have absolutely no idea about merging the companies and besides i don't even have any idea what company your dad owns so please ask for anything other than that." I reasoned.

"Well forget it cause that's the only thing i want and now if you'll excuse me i'll b-" i cut her off.

" Wait! Fine i'll do it, i'll ask mum and dad about it since i have no idea where it is." I said and she smiled.

"Good then, i'll move in tomorrow and by the way,do you have any couch in your room?" She asked.

Couch?

"Well yeah i have couches in my room but why do you ask?

"Oh well you made me sleep on it at the hotel on the night of our wedding so I'm just asking if you have it in your room." She said with a shrug.

Ohh she's talking about that. I really feel guilty about making her sleep on the couch but i won't let that happen again.

"Uhh that won't be necessary, my bed is big enough for us and i won't even get close,i promise." I said.

"Ohh no i'm not asking about the couch for myself,i'm asking for you cause that's where you'll sleep in these two months and if you don't want it then I'm not moving in." She dropped the bomb.

Oh no no no, i'll not sleep on the couch in my own room.

Is this bish crazy.

"Are you actually going crazy or you're actually crazy?" I asked.

"You're the crazy one here, don't bug me about coming to your room again,so it's a taboo to sleep on the couch and yet you made me sleep on a smaller couch,do you know the pain i felt on my neck when i woke up Mr richy pants. Just stay away from me for this two months i'll be here cause nothing can make me be with you and i can't wait for the divorce. I hope you have a bad night." She spat and shut the door with a huge thud.

I sighed and went to my room. I've messed up big time. It was all going great but i had to open my shitty mouth.

Why didn't i just say yes to sleeping on the couch.

Aghh I'm so Impossible.

I throw myself on the bed and closed my eyes when my phone rang and without checking it i picked up.

"Hey baby."

What the real hell......
