The moment she lifted her face and looked at him, she felt so dead.
He was looking like a perfect gentleman wearing white shirt, a black blazer and his hair, fully combed to side, leaving some strands on his face making him look so hot and innocent at same time. For a moment, his handsome face and looks impressed her but she recovered from the trance quickly and realized how a devil he is. She was wearing a maroon dress, along a with a net dupatta on her head, her straight hair with wavy loose curls at end, falling on her shoulders, bangs shaping the face and rest covering her back. He was constantly looking at her, she tried to remain calm and neutralized her expressions so he couldn't see what she was really feeling inside. Despite ignoring him, she could feel his burning gaze digging holes in her and how his eyes were scanning her body and how his eyes were trying to make a contact with her. While she only sighed at his behavior and was so frustrated inside that she wanted to burst open at her family and kill this man, who was sitting right in front of her, making his impact on her family."Your daughter is so pretty, I couldn't believe my son can chose such a stunning and talented girl for him. Now I realize how he fall for her at first sight" his mother commented and made Ayeleen's parents smile. They felt proud that they have Ayeleen as their daughter.
"No doubt you raised your son well, that instead of making a move himself, he straight came to me and confessed how much he love my daughter and want to marry her. And I'm really glad that I will have him now as my third son" Ayeleen's father said to them.
"If you permit me I would like to give Ayeleen our family ring and engage them both" her mother asked Ayeleen's parents, while his father also approved.
"Yeah sure why not" Ayeleen's parents replied.
And this was the moment when Ayeleen forgot to breath. She couldn't expect that it will be too sudden. Like they just came to see her and already engagement? Her eyes almost popped out and eyes became watery. This is how her life will end? Her parents didn't even ask her that what she wants. She felt so dejected that she wanted to run away, leave everyone in this world and create her own life, herself and live all alone. This is how parents do? She kept asking herself. There were no words to describe her feelings, it was the step to bound her with him.
While he smiled, it felt like a stab on her heart. It meant that her family already knew him that's why they made the decision so quickly. 'so he already made a move on my parents, long time ago, bastard!' she cursed in her brain. Her mother came near, holding the ring. She cried inside, screamed that she don't want this, but no one heard her. She wanted to run away and tell everyone that she don't want this but the smiles on her parent's face told her that it will hurt them deeply. For the sake of their reputation and dignity she kept quite and let it happen. 'what did I do wrong to be bound with this man?' she questioned god.While tears were about to fall, she wiped them with a tissue before anyone could see them, especially Umer and realize her weakness.
She wanted to be strong and decided that she will end this engagement and will talk to her parents.His mother sat beside her and took her hand by herself and slide the ring into her finger. And she felt like a dummy, letting it all happen to herself. Then she kissed her forehead.
While her mother distributed sweets among all. Frustration, sadness, disappointment, all was written on her face. But nobody cared to look at her.Her mother fed the sweet to Umer by her own hand and she wanted to kill him, as he looked at her, smiling victoriously. Umer's mother came forward again, and fed the sweet to Ayeleen which she took a very little bite."I guess you don't like sweets" she commented.
"Yes" she replied not lifting her face."If you don't mind, I'll suggest that children should talk alone for some time, they will get to know each other" his father suggested while his mother agreed in full happiness.
"Ayeleen you should take Umer to terrace, go and talk" Ayeleen's mother told her.
Despite feeling excruciating, she obeyed and stood up. She didn't looked at him. She got out of the room while Umer followed her.
She stepped up the stairs, while Umer behind.She reached the terrace and did not faced to see him, turning her back on him. It was very windy, her dupatta was no more on her head, and her hair were swaying with the wind, but she didn't cared. After all what she was feeling, only mattered at the moment for her.He came close and stood behind her, his face leaned into back of her head. He smelled her hair, they smelt like lavender. 'perfectly gorgeous' he said in her breath. While on the other side she was crying, and didn't even noticed his presence.With one hand he slide her flying hairs on one side of her shoulder, viewing her bare flawless neck. She felt his presence, but didn't resisted. He came near and kissed her neck, giving her all shivers and goosebumps. She closed her eyes, as she felt disgusted, how her body reacted. While he was surprised how her body reacted and smiled mischievously. 'you're beautiful' he whispered in her ear.She get away from him and turned to face him. She was crying with hiccups. He was not even a little moved by seeing her crying. He knew that he has to see alot, even after marriage but then he will deal with her. But she didn't seem to be a woman who will easily cry so he was amazed that such strong woman she pretend to be, can also cry."Please leave me, I don't want to marry you, I like someone else!" She lifted her face, eyes red from crying.
"It's okay if you like someone before me, from now on start working on to forget him, and especially block him and I should never hear about him again or I will not tolerate." He said in monotone without any hint of anger, but his last words were gritted through his teeth and they almost pierced her.
"I don't want to marry you! Why don't you listen to me, why I'm the one you want to marry? You can have several pretty girls, why me? I'm not even your type. I hate this ring on my finger!" She lifted her hand to him, showing him ring. She almost break at the last words.
"I don't know what made me so attracted to you, but I felt the urge need to touch you, to make you mine and do whatever I want until you scream my name, and that melody will make me happy, in clear words, to be inside you!" He leaned in to her face so close, and said all, ignoring her shock expressions and lust in his voice and eyes was so clear to be seen.
She felt so disrespected and humiliated that she lifted her hand to slap him again but this time he hold her hand at time, like he was already expecting.
"You are disgusting!" She said into his face and tried to take her hand back.
But he didn't let go and moved it forward, only to place a kiss on the back of her hand.
"I was expecting you'll surely pull a stunt like this and I don't like to be disrespected. I always kill people who don't show respect to me but ofcourse I have to kill you slowly because you are my delicious prey, I need to devour you slowly" he said each word slowly, making clear to her and smiling malevolently. Then he let go of her hand.
He leaned forward to her ear and whispered
"Congratulations Ayeleen you are going to be my wife in few days, feel lucky darling" smile still dancing on his face but with glint of evilness and scorn for her. Then suddenly he kissed her cheek.Then he turned around and left the place without turning and witnessing her expressions.
She was left all alone, in agony, pain to deal and suffer all by herself. She wanted to weep, she wanted to protest but there was no one to accompany her. She was alone, like always had been, since childhood, beared and dealt with each painful memory on her own, all by herself and in end told herself, I'll come more strong. But this time the wound was bigger and deep, gonna take her life time to heal and maybe never get to heal and she will suffer only pain and pain, because that's what's her fate.......She started her job the very next week. The hospital was a little far from home but had a very humble environment. Umer arranged her a driver who used to pick her up and drop her home. Yousef was being taken care of by his nanny all the while.Umer was happy that she was finally living her life according to her preferences and she did not felt pressurized under him anymore. He liked seeing her happy and jovial.Doing all the things she ever dreamt of made her enjoy every single moment of life. There's always a bright morning after the dark night. That's what she thought, her days of depression, struggle, torture ended and it was a new beginning to start her life.But the thing she couldn't forget was her past. The pain she went through. The torture she suffered was so overwhelming that she couldn't forget it for a single day.Although she was happily living with Umer and he changed, she was glad that she gave him chance but the pas
"you don't have to thank me" she replied patting on his back. She felt his tears on her skin as she consoled him."I have to thank you for everything you did until now. I never thought that you will stay with me. You gave me a chance and I will always be thankful" he replied as he wiped his tears with his hand."Look at me" she told him.He pulled back from hug and looked at her concerned but determined face.She wiped his tears with her hand and then cupped his face."Everyone deserves a second chance. It's not just you. And we have a family now, it cannot be completed without you. I'm always gonna stay with you" she told him, fighting her insides which provoked her for giving up her dreams.He just couldn't contain himself as he leaned in and took her into a kiss by surprise. He held her close to himself as his arm snaked around her waist, pulling her closer."You are like a breath to me" he
The days went smooth as they got along together really well. Gradually everything started to get in place as they cleared their misunderstandings. They had a little perfect life and they were very fond of it. Their baby growing in front of their eyes everyday and their bond getting deeper each day was something magical. It felt like neither of them ever thought that they would feel so comfortable with each other. They interacted and entangled like they were two lovers. Sleeping in each other's embrace felt so right in place.She started to like every bit of minute spending with him. From making dinners to helping him dressing felt like she was really into it. While he made sure that she never gets uncomfortable around him. They were getting along like two partners who were feeling exciting as they explored each other. Their energies matched, everything was passionate to fiery for them.It was soothing, warm night of spring when he sat with You
In morning, after breakfast with her he straight went to his office but not before sharing a good kiss with her. She really didn't know what she was stepping into but it felt surreal. The person who was breaking her now became her healer. She didn't wanted to acknowledge any reasons or consequences, but she was being loved. In million years, someone was telling her that he loves her and wanted to cherish her. She wanted to have it, because she deserved it.And most of all, her baby and his father that's what she wanted as a complete family. But still a underlying thought of freedom provoked her like a needle. But she let the days pass in peace.Umer didn't know how things were changing between them so quickly. He still couldn't muster up the courage to apologize to her, but he desperately wanted to. To start a new life with her, a new beginning because last night gave him hope. His child was in front of his eyes, his wife whom he loved dearly and their was
She blushed hard at his words. It was a long time since someone told her that she looked beautiful."Don't do this" he said trying to maintain his control over his desires but her shy, red face was provoking him badly."What did I do now?" She asked again."Your red cheeks are irritating me" he replied still enclosing her in his arms."I'm not blushing" she tried to get away from as she tapped her cheeks."You are" he said again as he didn't let her go.He took her to the nearest kitchen counter and pushed her against it, caging her from all sides."He is alone upstairs" she said, reminding him that they should go up.Without replying her, he pulled her up in his arms."What are you doing Umer? Put me down!" She panicked badly.He just smiled to her in response.He took slow steps towards the door and carried her upstairs to their room.
It felt like everything stopped around her. She wanted to believe it as a meaningless confession but his eyes spoke it all. Somehow his confession didn't felt weird, it felt like she knew it but he just now confessed it openly.She realized that deep inside she always knew that he was obsessed with her. But she never believed it and took it as his hate towards her.Her grip loosened on his arm as she was caught in a trance. He retreated his arm back, and after grabbing a pair of t-shirt and trouser from his wardrobe, he went inside the bathroom.It just felt too unreal for her. She forced him to say it but it was not actually what she expected.But love is not painful, then why his love hurted her so much?Why his feelings made her suffer so much?She went through physical torture just because he loved her?It made no sense to her as she found it confusing. But one thing she realized that obse
