Tooba's p.o.v

"Wake up.."

I was in deep sleep when someone shaked me badly back and forth.

Huh?

I didn't know that stupid was bending over me.I sat up with a jolt of electricity.

Our noses touched and he moved back.

"Umm.. We have reached ."

I nodded my head.

Last thing I remembered was my head pinning badly and I didn't realize when sleep consumed me.

I hold my lehanga and tried to get out of the car but all in vain and I fell back on my butt.

Ouch! Now what the hell is this man!!

Rehab came forward and without saying any thing took hold of my lehanga and with the help of my hand dragged me out. I didn't protest.

When I got out of the car I saw a simple but beautiful house. A smile crepted on my lips.

It seems like my dreamhouse.

I thought.

A lady may be in her mid 50s came towards him with a huge smile on her lips.

"Welcome welcome my boy."

She moved towards rehab and kissed his cheek.

He kissed her on forehead. He was smiling, genuinely.

I was somehow amazed looking at him.

Who knew that Mr Mafia also has respect for elders cause what he did with my father was so inhumane.

I got out of my trance of thinking by the voice of that lady.

"MASHA ALLAH! You are so beautiful. May Allah bless you both. Ameen!"

She cupped my cheek after hugging me. I flashed her a smile.

I heard Rehab's voice or more a whisper saying Ameen beside me. I looked at him and he averted his gaze.

"Maali uncle please put our luggage in my room."

He said to a man of nearly 45 or 47 years.

I glared at him and he mouthed what?

"Aah..Beti what is your name?"

That old lady asked me.

"Tooba. Tooba Sohail."

I said and rehab looked at me with an unknown expression.

ALLAH knows what this man is thinking.

I averted my attention to that old Lady.

"What is your name? I mean what I can call you?"

"You can call me bejan. Everyone used to call me this. If you don't like this then you can call me whatever you want."

She said with a loving expression on her face.

"No no beejan is OK."

I said holding her hands in mine.

"OK now let's go inside or you both are planning to stay here all night?"

Rehab said and I glared at him and he rolled his eyes while beejan laughed looking at us.

"Come dear." She said moving aside.

I didn't move when she went inside I turned towards rehab.

"Tell that uncle to not take our luggage inside."

He looked at me confused.

"Why?"

"Are you blind or what? Can't you see he is not willing to lift such heavy load? And ALLAH knows what you put in that suitcase it seems too heavy. "

"OK OK ."

He lift his hands up in surrender.

"Maali uncle! Leave those bags. You go and take rest."

Maali uncle first looked at both of us one by one.

"Are you sure beta?"

"Yeah uncle you go but before take these."

He moved towards his car and took out a huge bag of fruits, many boxes of sweets, bottles of juices and cold drinks and a beautiful basket of chocolates.

"Take these and distribute them among everyone."

My eyes popped out of sockets.

This much food was around me and I was unaware?

"Beta this much sweets and chocolates? Is there any good news?"

"Yeah these are the gifts on account of my wedding."

He said with a smile.

On account of my wedding. Huh! Wedding my foot!

Maali uncle, along with a boy started to take things inside.

I was tired like hell now and just wants to sleep.

" are you guys not coming? "

Beejan's voice boomed and I shouted from outside.

"Coming beejan."

I moved inside.

"OK let me take you to your room. You must be tired now."

I nodded and she started walking with me following her and stopped in front of a room.

"So this is rehabs room which is also yours now. You go and change. I am sending some food for you both."

"Seriously beejan thank you so much."

I turned the knob and when I entered in room I was greeted by smell of fresh roses. I closed my eyes and took deep breath.

The room was looking so mesmerizing with red roses,lit candles and mini golden lights.

There was a heart made by rose petals on bed.

I moved towards the bed and touched that heart.

I heard door opening. I knew who it muct be so I didn't bother yo turn.

"Umm you go and change. Your dresses are wait! Your dresses are in that suit case now who will bring that? Mali uncle has gone already."

He said raising eye brows.

"What do you mean by who? You will bring that bag."

"Me?"

"Yeah you!"

"No I am not going to do anything like this."

"Why? Can't you list that bag? Are you that weak?"

I started to move towards him. He eyed me with questioning expression.

I poked his biceps and he seemed to be startled.

"Why did you make this much muscles when you can't carry your own luggage?"

I started leaning towards his face.

"You are too weak."

I said looking in his eyes.

He was taken aback by my actions.

"Umm its not like that actually ahh OK I am going to take that bag."

He stammered and I was rolling with laughter in my head.

"Good for you."

I said ignoring him and moved towards the door to open it. Someone knocked.

"There is your food."

Maid said stretching tray full of food in front of me.

"Beejan is such a love!! Here put this here!"

I said moving aside and motioning her towards bed.

She dropped the tray on bed and moved out. I realized rehab was not there in room.

He must be downstairs.

I promised myself to make your life hell and here you go with first level!

I smirked imagining him lifting heavy suitcase.

_____

Rehab's p.o.v

What the hell just happened man!! Was I stammering? Yeah I was!

Now I have to lift this huge bag. Great! This girl and her nerves!

And besides Allah knows where this stupid haider went.

I lifted the suitcase and started walking towards my room.

What I saw was so breathtaking. She was sitting with all her glory in the center of bed and eating hungrily.

Yeah I forgot she never ate anything since morning.

How can I be this careless?

She was too engrossed in eating that she didn't Even noticed me.

I cleared my throat and her hand which was holding spoon full of rice stopped in mid air. She looked at me.

"There are your clothes. When you are done with food you can fresh over there is a washroom."

I pointed towards attach bathroom and she nodded.

I was lost in her. Some of her hair strands were hanging on the side of her face making it more sparkling. The thing I noticed first time was a mole on the right side of her upper lip.

She stood up and cleared her throat and I averted my gaze.

Damn! I was staring at her. So creepy.

She moved towards mirror and removed her jewelry and veil duppata and put that on sofa beside bed.

"It was too damn heavy."

She sighed and sat down and opened suitcase and took her clothes and went in washroom.

I smiled at her back. To my surprise she turned her head and looked at me and saw me smiling she made a weird face and mumbled something under her breath and closed washroom door.

I sat on bed and started eating food.

I am tired too and she is taking too much time in washroom.

Wait! Is she okay? I have to check. Its been 10 mins of her going washroom.

I knocked on door.

"Tooba are you okay there?"

She didn't reply. I was getting restless now.

"Toobaaaa are you there?" I shouted banging door. This time she replied with humming.

I sighed.

This girl never fails to torture me!

"Chalen g now rehab mohtaram you also have to change since she is taking so long then you have to change here in room."

I took my T-shirt and sweat pent from closet and started changing. When I was about to wear shirt I heard her scream. I turned around and saw her cornering her eyes with her hands.

"Idiot! Is this away to roam around?"

"What should I do then? you were taking forever in there."

I wore my shirt and took my cloths and hanged them in cupboard.

"Well now you can uncover your eyes. I am done."

She moved around and moved towards mirror.

She was wearing smile white kameez with white cigeratte pent.

She started taking pins off her hair.

"What the!"

She through pins annoyingly on dressing mirror.

I moved towards her and stood at her back.

"You have to take them like this. Slowly and calmly. Otherwise they will cause pain in your scalp because your hair are stick in them."

I stated taking pins off. Her body stiffened under my touch. She didn't protest.

When I was done I looked in mirror. She was looking on our reflection too but averted her eyes soon.

"Your hair are so beautiful and long. Never cut them."

I said moving my fingers in her hair.

"Who you are to tell me what should I do to my hair or what not? These are my hair and I will do whatever I want."

She snapped back.

"You are being difficult here."

"I am ."

She replied with same tone.

"Please don't cut them I like them this way. Long and shiny."

I said grazing my nose in her nicely smelling hair.

She flinched and closed her eyes.

Control yourself rehab! Control! What are you doing? She is nor ready for all this.

I smiled and moved towards bed and lied on my side of bed.

______

I stiffened at this proximity. I never shared this much closeness with anyone of opposite gender.

I clenched my heart which was running a Marathon.

He went back giving me a smile and lied on bed.

I switched off lights and moved towards bed.

Never in million years I am sleeping with this man and on too on same bed.

I took pillow and moved towards sofa.

Just then he took hold of my hand and sat on bed.

"Where are you going?"

"Can't you see? I am going to bed."

"Bed is where I am lying and you are going in opposite direction."

"Don't try to be over smart in front of me. I am sleeping on sofa. Here ON SOFA! CAN YOU HEAR ME I AM SLEEPING THERE ON SOFA?"

"O shut up. You shout way too much. My ears are going to burst if I stay with you." He said leaving my hand and covering his ears.

"Then don't stay na. Who is begging you ?"

Rehab's p.o.v

"Then don't stay na. Who is begging you ?"

She said calmly.

Well I know this girl can't be calm but this time she is.

"You are not going anywhere. You are sleeping here with me on my bed."

She looked at me and nodded in NO.

"Ahh let me guess you are scared that you can't handle my closeness hnn?"

"No a big no. I can't sleep with a criminal."

She said and my breath hitched.

I stood up and went to washroom leaving her standing there.

I need to calm down myself.

I splashed water on my face uncountable times. When I felt fresh I came back. She was still there standing in deep thought.

I went near her. One strand of hair came on her face.

I was about to tug that strand behind her ear when she closed her eyes shut. I looked at my raised hand and soon realized whole scenario.
