"How are you? " His fake caring voice echoed after some time and my eyes lifts on its own accord. After everything he did to me, he has the audacity to enquire about my wellbeing. "She is fine." Before I answer him, my mother did rather sternly. She has always lacked kindness for him. He clenches his jaw squeezing his eyes shut for some seconds and I know how hard he’s trying to stay calm. The moment he opened his eyes they measured me from head to toe and then back to my face meeting my eyes. His burning stare heating my skin. How much he hates to see me with Rihan. But I tried to remain unaffected. I looked at the lying papers on the table. The one side of the blank space holds my signature which I did two days back. The other side is still empty. I kept staring at the empty space. "Zara, come back home," he said with longingness. Home? Which home? That hell of a kind. Why? To punish me Force himself on me. Tie me up. My mind recalled all the bitter moment spend with him. “I’
*Secret talk *Zara Five more days passed after meeting him. These days I kept myself confined mostly inside the bedroom. Even this room reminds me of his essence. Sometimes dad use to visit me in the evening and recite some verse from the Holy book. He never inquired about what happened between us. Mayhap he wants me to heal my wounded heart without scraping. I want to flee away from all the memories which I have with him. Those bitter-sweet moments we shared in our childhood days.Whenever he saw me with Rihan, he goes insane whereas he is the one who has been cheating me. He can do whatever he wants and I have no right even to befriend with my childhood best friend. Double standard mentality. My trance of thought halted when I heard the knock on the door.“Come inside.”" Madam, dinner is ready, " the maid spoke after she closed the door behind her back. Nervously she walked towards my bed. I noticed how she was fidgeting holding her cell phone in her hands. "Madam, here is a ca
Aslan. My eyes travelled through the interior of the A-segment car. In my 11 years of age, I had never travelled in cars with my parents. We were not rich. We led a middle-class life until my mother felt sick. All the income of my father were mostly spent on her treatment. Although I had huge interest in cars but our condition didn’t permit us to afford a simple car. And today I’m sitting inside a lavish Mercedes Benz car. My body was stiff and my mind waited with an air of expectancy. The desire to own such cars buzzed inside my body. Maybe one day.The girl behind me who is sitting with her father was constantly chatting something. From her conversation it was clear that she was apple of her parents. Which is why her father agreed at her persuasion to bring me.Though I had agreed to live with them but my mind was anxious. Actually, it was difficult to manage the basic requirement of daily life. My days passed with only a one-time meal mostly which I get to eat in the hotel. So,
Aslan.I combed my hair placing them neatly. With the amount of coconut oil I put on my hair, it looks shiny and properly tucked. From the mirror, I saw Abdul chacha (uncle )wearing his cap. "Abdul chacha (uncle), is Zara ready? " I asked through the mirror. "Not yet... Big madam is asking for you. Hurry up." He took the car keys from the table and left. Looking at the mirror for the last time, I took my school bag and quit the quarter.On the way my mind was repeating the mugged-up answers from chemistry as today we are going to have a minor exam. Baba (dad) use to say that a man can only progress if he is learned. It’s been a day stepping in this mansion and seeing everything luxury and wealth I was thrilled and want to own such a lavish lifestyle. And that can only be possible if I study well. It was like I was in a pond for years and now exposed to the sea. That's all I knew with my age. As I entered the mansion, I saw Zara’s father engrossed in reading newspaper in the
Aslan."Boy, what are you doing here? "At first, I was startled and yanked my head up to find Nawab sir at a few distance from me. I was so engrossed that I didn’t hear his approaching footsteps. He had a cigarette between his fingers. Seeing my reaction, he studied me carefully. "Boy, what are you doing here at this time of night?” He asked once more. I gulped. "Sir, I'm preparing for upcoming test." I replied.His lips curled into a smile but he didn't say anything. He dragged a long pull of the cigarette and released the smoke in the air calming his nerves. Taking amble steps, he rests on the empty space beside me. He was wearing casual off white tee-shirt and black sweatpants. He was sitting beside me with calm and deep thought. His one leg rested on the other as he kept enjoying the burning sensation of the cigarette. He has grace of power and aura of dominance which can even make a king bow down on his knees. His well-sculpted body and the strong muscles of his biceps were
Aslan My vision adjusted with the light of the room. The room looked familiar as I blinked my eyes several times. The faded wall of the room reminds the recent place where I took shelter. My mind tried to ruminate how I reached the quarter but nothing could be recalled.Only remembered that I dive under the water to save her. I looked around the bed and saw the tiny creature for whom I jumped in the pool was resting her head beside my body. She was sitting on a tool. I looked at her face carefully. Her mouth agape drifting in a beautiful slumber. Carefully I got up and sat on the bed without making any sound. My stomach felt empty. "She is sitting here from the moment you were brought. Poor girl...she was so worried... Madam asked for her several times but she didn't budge from here. Even sir came to take her but nobody had the ability to make her leave this place. And now look ...how she is fast asleep waiting for you to wake up. If you don't know how to swim then why did yo
Aslan.10 years later."Aslan......Aslan.... Aslan... " Everyone in the hall started chanting my name. I climbed the stairs and once I reach the ring, my head lowers entering inside the ring. Flexing my muscles, I stood infront of my rival who was standing beside the referee. I scanned the crowd who were waiting for this match with utmost excitement. Eshan was standing by the side of Mehmood bhai. He was sitting on the sofa with two flings on both his sides. Both the girls were sitting glued to him. One to his right side was wearing a red dress reaching till her mid-thigh and the another one was in a purple with the same amount of length Mehmood bhai gave a smug look towards us."The one who wins will get this beauty tonight ... " Mehmood bhai rose the hand of the girl in his right side. Men around him were eyeing the beauty with dream and desire. I averted my gaze at my opponent who was checking her with lustful eyes as he smirked like a low goon. Bloody pervert.... Soon the r
Aslan. It was eight in the evening and all the Lorries were loaded with box filled with liquor bottles. The workers were moving fast because after half an hour the lorries needs to leave and deliver to different cities and towns. Eshan was doing the paper work like keeping records of the liquor stocks. Soon the huge automobiles were ready and eventually dispatched. By the time we finished everything it was nine at night. Mehmood bhai came to check the ongoing work. After he had scrutinized everything, he said "Tomorrow there is a party in Woodland hotel. I want both of you to come. " "Bhai.... Sorry... But tomorrow we can’t." I said dipping my fingers inside my jeans pocket. "Why? " He furrowed his eyebrows. "Actually, tomorrow our graduation result will be declared. So." "Oh... I see... But the party is in the evening. Business tycoon and renowned people will be present. You should have good contact to grow. Don't you think?" "Fine then... We will be there
Author 1 year later. " Do you think Zeshan and Zaid will be okay?" Aslan asked getting up from the bed and taking Zeshan who was crying for attention. And once he was on his father's lap a happy sound left from him. Aslan was also uttering some incoherent words. His eyes shone with love and adoration for his son. Zara chuckled at both father and son. Aslan was walking around the bed cooing his one son. Zeshan was five minutes elder to Zaid. Aslan was wearing only his trouser which hung low almost showing the tempting v line. His full-toned muscles were on a show for her to fantasize about. Zara diverted her gaze to stop her mind run back to their morning session when the kids were fast asleep. Though it was a quicky round her husband made it worthy. When it comes to stamina Aslan can beat anyone. The energy of a beast!! A caring beast!!! She got tired but Aslan still had the energy to take care of the twins. If he wasn't with her then she couldn't imagine what she would have do
Aslan's p.o.v.My body trembled with anxiety. " But what doctor..." I saw two ward boys sliding the stretcher with Zara out of the OT room and transferred to the VIP cabin. " I'm sorry.... Your wife ...has...low heartbeat...if she doesn't gain conscious within 24 hours then...we fear survival is... L..." Before the doctor end her sentence, I rushed towards the cabin. My heart dreaded to hear the remaining words. " Sir....sir...Mr.Wali ... Mr. Wali..." "Aslan ... Bhai.......bhai...." Nobody can stop me. On the way I stumbled but my legs kept on moving towards that closed door. My hands clawed the handle of the door and I let myself inside. There she was on the bed with I V attached on her hand. My chest felt like someone dug a knife cutting through deeper and deeper inflicting pain without any sympathy. My lungs gulped a deep breath as I stood rooted on the threshold. The environment inside was utterly calm. The smell of medicine hit my nostrils. The distance from the threshold
Aslan's p.o.v"Congratulations. Now you are the proud owner of another casino. How do you feel?" Eshan asked and sat down opposite to me. Fahad also laid his butt on the next chair beside him. " What's new in that!” I said shrugging.Today this happiness has no effect on me. My face had a clouded look and Eshan didn't miss it. I want to stay with her. Every time I was away not in the proximity to touch her, feel her, watch her smiling it felt like a tug inside my heart. And these days the need to be close to her only increased. Whatever feeling inside my heart for her is not plain love, it’s more than that. She is my obsession.“You need to get laid. Haven't been getting it lately? I thought pregnant women want it all the time. Here I thought Zara would have tired you out.” Eshan tsked mocking at me. “You are pissing me off now,” I growled glaring at him. My one hand dropped the pen I was holding so long after signing the contract. He shrugged, “tell me when I don’t do that.” Faha
Zara p.o.v.6 months later...Aslan left early this morning with Eshan and Fahad. I was very happy when I saw Eshan walking inside the hall few weeks back. He had gone under physiotherapy for almost six months. The poor man had suffered a lot for Aslan. In fact, when I saw him, I couldn't believe my eyes and almost sobbed out in happiness. After Aslan left, I slowly moved out of my new bedroom. When I was in my sixth month, Aslan shifted me downstairs, the room next to the kitchen. I caressed my belly and approached the dining table. Mumma was having her morning tea. The moment she saw me approaching she instructed the maid to pull the chair. I sat down and took a toast from the quarter plate.Though I wasn't hungry but I decided to stuff my belly. And the toast with honey dipped tempted my appetite. I noticed that dad was also nowhere to be seen. Both the man of my life were busy I guess. Work. Business. Whenever Aslan was late or had to stay a night away from me, I never asked fo
Zara p.o.v. 4 months later. My fingers moving around his face, tracing his every features. It's too irresistible. Slowly he opened his eyes and a smile stretched on his lips as soon as my face came in his view. His eyes were connected with mine. A look of unbelieving. As if I'm a dream. Sometimes it's even hard for me to believe that I got the man I always wanted because some aren't as lucky as me. "Good morning, baby." He murmured in a gentle voice taking a deep breath. My heart almost skipped a beat hearing his deep sexy voice. Ah.. This pregnancy hormone!! I tell you. His eyes were reading my facial expressions and I was unable to give up the wanton need inside my core. His eyes had glint of mischief and without wasting time he captured my petite body in his strong embrace.With slow movement his hand traced my waist traveling down my bare back. He leaned and engaged his lips into mine. A moan erupted and taking the golden opportunity he sides his tongue inside promoting my
Zara p.o.v.He placed his palm on my flat belly. His fingers tracing pattern over my skin. His nose nuzzling the crook of my neck. Nothing could be more blissful than this. Even though the pregnancy was surprise and the words of the doctor got us worried but I welcomed the tiny life growing inside me. I know I'm taking risk but I want this baby. Desperately. His baby inside my belly. My heart in his hand. What else one needs in life to be happy. I sighed in relief. Without asking he has given me so much. I also want to give him. A family. I know how lonely he is without me. He doesn't have to say. I can feel it. I want to make him happy. He will have his own kids. Two, three or may be more. Blood and flesh of his own. And I won't deprive him from this happiness. Though the risk is high and it would be lie if I say that I wasn't afraid from inside but I have faith upon my almighty. The creator of all. "How are you feeling?" This is for the fifth time Aslan repeated the same questi
Zara p.o.v.Once the doctor examined, I got up from the bed and took a seat beside Aslan."You are PREGNANT". The doctor concluded studying the report. Oh my God!! Oh my God!!! I covered my mouth with both the palm of my hands. My head snapped at the person sitting beside me. He was also shocked like me. After registering those words his eyes shined for a second and then he masked it."Doctor, is there any problem." Aslan asked with a concern look. I turned to face the doctor now. She was staring at both of us like a principal of the school. A serious look like we did something we shouldn't. She sighed and closed the file report. Giving a thoughtful look she stared at me then at him and continued," Mr. Wali, on her last visit I insisted your presence but you remain unavailable. I had strictly advised to refrain from any physical relation." She then peered at me with a serious look and continued," Your uterus is weak to carry a baby. You should have consult me once before planning.
Aslan p.o.v. My fingers ran in-between her thick hair locks. She is sleeping cocooned on my chest the whole night. I just lifted my head to take a slight glimpse of my sleeping beauty. How calmly she is napping. She slightly snuggled near my neck which lead my skin around my neck warm up with her hot breath. My hands protectively wrapped around her back inhaling her. Her body smells is so fucking intoxicating. After all the sweat still, she manages to smell so good. So divine. Yesterday night events start roaming inside my head. I was always an asshole when it comes to her. My heart broke a thousand times when I thought what had I done to her. She gave me her everything and asked for so little in return. My love. And I messed up. We human beings are greedy. We never remain satisfied with whatever we get. Always crave for more. And I'm no less in this matter. She loves me more than I do. I knew it. Yet, my hunger for her love never sedates easily and I kept on dying for more. And i
Zara p.o.v. "Don’t." He ordered and immediately a foul smell hit my nostrils. I turned my face to the left side and my knuckles protected my nose from inhaling that smell further. " You are drunk!!!!" I scowled glaring back at him. He first stared and then softly chuckled mocking. Suddenly his facial expressions changed."Are you ashamed that you choose to marry with me?" Saying he got up from the bed. I was gaping at him who balanced himself when he was about to fall."Aslan!!” My voice hurt and Immediately I stood up and was about to hold his arm when he rose his one hand indicating he don't need my help.Unwillingly I halted my hands back defeated. Slowly with unsteady step he reached near the table and turned to face me."Tell me…are you repenting your mistake." "Mistake?""Yes...yes...you married an orphan...no class...no family. But Rihan has everything... He isn't an orphan.... He is rich…he has a big family. That's why you cling with him every time.” My eyes fixed on him
