Chapter 3
Marry went and took Hoor with her. Hoor sat on the breakfast table, cook came and started placing food on table .She was also mesmerized after seeing Hoor. Pancakes, omelets , boiled eggs and different type of sliced fruits were placed infront of Hoor.
She looked at the whole table, but a sigh left her lips and she took a boiled egg and some sliced fruits.she kept her eyes down on her plate . The innocence on her face was making Mary and the cook swoon over her even more.
Hoor went to her room after breakfast . She had seen that her books were already placed in the bedroom. She took one and went towards the indoor pool which could be seen clearly through her room. There were chairs and plants placed at the side. She took a seat and settled down.
She went down for lunch , after that she decided to take a nap. In the evening , she was sitting in the pool area, when Arhaan entered the room to get his clothes .
He froze at his place, seeing the beauty sitting infront of him. She had beautiful blue eyes with honey brown hair . Her cheeks were pink and plum like a babies, her lips looked suck able. Her collarbones and slim neck could be seen clearly from there .
Arhaan was thinking , who was this beautiful girl sitting there. He had totally forgotten that he married a girl yesterday , and it could be only her, present here .
He was busy in his thoughts when Mary opened the door with a glass of water in her hand for Hoor "sorry sir, I didn't know , you returned. I came to give water to mam" she said confirming that it was Hoor .
Arhaan turned his eyes away from Hoor , though it was difficult for him . He had seen many beauties in his life, Hoor was one of a type , but he wasn't weak to fall for faces so easily .
Arhaan went to freshen up without saying anything .
The reception was going to take place after some weeks , thats why , there were no guests or any special works taking place in the home.
Arhaan went out for dinner, he came late at night, he saw Hoor sleeping peacefully when he went to get his night suit . He couldn't help himself and went near her, the innocence on her face was calling to every protective instinct in him .
He wanted to protect her and cherish her , he didnt know where these feelings were coming from . He had never felt protective of anyone , except his family. His parents had died when , he was 22 and Amal 20 . He had taken over the business with the support of Arish, his best friend and now Amal's husband also .
He shook his head and got up. He again slept in the room beside his.
This continued for a week. Hoor hadn't even seen him properly yet. She was happy that she was left alone. She could do what she wanted, no one was there to hurt her . There was nothing more she could wish for .
She freshened up and started waiting for her breakfast in her room, she preferred to eat there as there was no one to join her on the table, just some servants watching her with different expressions. Their eyes didn't disturb her, but she was cherishing her privacy .
It was Sunday and already long past 8 , she frowned , thinking "why is Mary not here yet? Is everything okay ?"she was getting worried , because Mary always came to her in morning to check on her and ask about breakfast .she was brought out of her thoughts, when someone entered the room.
Arhaan was getting more and more restless with each passing days, he wanted Hoor to ask for money or for anything which would show her greedy nature like her family . But she didnt even try to talk to him or asked for anything . She seemed content in what she was given. Thinking bad about her was getting difficult for him with each passing day .Its been a week and he had decided to talk to her . Maybe she would give him a reason to hate her , maybe he would stop feeling such protectiveness or attraction towards her .It was Sunday , he decided to do breakfast with Hoor. He liked to do breakfast in his room or in balcony when he was alone . He only sat on the dining table when someone was their to join him. His room was an apartment in itself . There was a sitting area, poolside , dressing room all connected to it .He entered the room with all his walls up , he didnt want to l
Hoor froze on her way out , seeing Arhaan standing in the middle of the room with his arms wrapped below his chest .He looked at her with a raised eyebrow "does it take you 37 minutes to change?” He asked looking at his watch .Hoor flushed and started looking here and there .Arhaan was enjoying teasing her."Come and sleep now "he said and Hoor looked at him wide eyed."Wont....you leave? "She asked looking at him with flushed cheeks. It was a big hit on Arhaan's ego, girls died for his closeness and his own wife wished for him to leave her alone .He swallowed hard to control his anger and moved towards her.Hoor noticed the change in his demeanor, she averted her eyes down.Arhaan wrapped his arms around Hoor's waist and leaned down, so that his face was closer to her. He held her chin and made her look at him. The moment his eyes met her blue pools, he felt his anger melting away ."You know , I'm
Arhaan wrapped his arm around her and placed her in his lap . She was petite , it wasn’t difficult for him .Hoor was shocked by sudden movement , she looked at him wide eyed and placed her hands on his chest.Her cheeks were turning bright red and tears were ready to flow. Arhaan cupped her cheek and whispered "its okay ,its okay “he said pulling her closer. Hoor hid her face in his neck ,she wanted a break from her inner conflict .Arhaan soothed her for sometime and then pulled his plate forward . Hoor finally remembered their position and tried to get up but he held her still. Her cheeks were now red with some other reason .for her, his closeness was comforting , but there was also fear of losing , of being hurt again behind it .Arhaan impaled a piece of fruit in his fork and took it near her mouth . When she didnt open her mouth , he gave her a stern look .she finally opened her mouth relaxing
Next day , Arhaan woke Hoor with him . She was pouting at being awaken early , but he didnt say anything . He chose a simple shirt with sweatpants for her and took her to his private gym. The servants weren’t going to come until 7:30 .Arhaan was doing his exercise but also acting like her personal trainer. He was giving her water bottle , whenever she needed . Once , Hoor got tired , Arhaan asked her to go and freshen up . He planned to work out for some more time . When he returned to their room , he saw that Hoor had already taken a bath and now was wearing a beautiful frok in grey color.She was busy drying her hair ,Arhaan took his clothes and went to shower . When he got out dressed, Hoor was still standing there, but she hadn’t tried to comb her hair . Arhaan took the brush but Hoor tried to stop him "you get ready ,Mary can help me "she said softly ."No, Mary can help you d
Next day, he was in office, when he got a call from Mr. Siddiqui."Assalamualikum Arhaan , its like you have forgotten us after taking my daughter away "he said in a sugary tone."Wasalam Mr. Siddiqui, its nothing like that "Arhaan said putting up with the man. He was trying to be more bearable about this man just because of Hoor."If nothing's like that , then have dinner with us tonight “Mr. Siddiqui said happily.Arhaan didn't want to waste a second on this man, but then he thought about Hoor , she must be missing her family...."Okay ! We will have dinner at your place tonight. “Arhaan ended the call after bidding bye.In evening, when he went home, he saw Hoor in the garden. She gave him a big smile came inside with him. Her smiles never missed to skip his heart beat ."How was your day? "Arhaan asked ruffling her hair ."
They sat still looking at the water for sometime, but then Hoor started straightening her legs, bringing them out of water .Arhaan could see her feet calloused , indicating that she had been dipping her feet from a long time now .Arhaan held her legs and changed her angle , Hoor was only able to gasp at his doings . He placed her legs on his thighs and started giving her foot massage softly ."Arhaan please .... " she said , her cheeks were tomato red ." why are you looking so dull? I took you , expecting that it will make you happy?" Arhaan asked trying to take her mind off the foot massage.Hoor looked at him with her big grieved eyes , as if asking him to see everything in them, she won't be able to sayit ."You trust me? " Arhaan asked on a whisper .Hoor quickly nodded her head but tears started filling her eyes .Arhaan pulled her close
After some days, in afternoon, Hoor was sitting in the living room , when she saw a beautiful girl entering .Mary was also behind her . She was also looking really happy after seeing the girl ."Hello "the girl around 24 or 25 greeted ."Hey "Hoor said getting up , she was confused and a bit nervous. The girl infront of her was really beautiful and Hoor wasn't even a bit confident about her own looks . A lot of doubts and questions were entering her mind regarding the girl and her relationship with Arhaan."She is cute" the girl awed looking at Hoor ."I am Amal , Arhaan's sister "she introduced herself and Hoor felt herself relaxing . She gave Amal a big smile and Amal ended up swooning a bit more over Hoor .She pulled Hoor in for a hug . " consider me your sister. You haven't met me till now, because I was out of country with my
It was reception day . Hoor and Amal was getting ready at home, beauticians came there. Amal was completely ready in her blue gown , her nude makeup was looking very good on her .She was looking at Hoor , who was almost ready . Her dress, shoes , jewelry , clutch in short everything was ordered by Arhaan and Hoor was simply loving it . When Amal asked Arhaan that she wanted to gift her earrings matching to her reception dress, then Arhaan only said " you can gift her anything you want , but on that day, she will be dressed completely according to my choice "And his choice in everything was spectacular, the living example was Hoor standing in front of the mirror completely ready .She was looking like a queen in her dull golden gown ,which was flared out from the waist . Her makeup was done with a light hand .she had heels on , the beautiful gold stilettos , but she looked ready to fall
After a year, Arhaan woke with his baby girl (Asmara) on his right pectoral and Hoor laying half on his left side. Her hand was on their daughters back, on top of which Arhaan had his hand.He smiled and kissed the heads of both. He couldn't have asked for anything more. Soon Hoor woke up. She tried to move away, but Arhaan pulled her closer for a morning kiss.When he let her go, Hoor was breathing heavily and her cheeks were red. "Arhaan!!!" she said in a scolding tone looking at their daughter, who was still sleeping peacefully. Arhaan chuckled softly and touched her cheek. He missed the extra fluffiness of them. Hoor was almost back to her original size after pregnancy. Her cheeks were still fluffy, but Arhaan missed the extra softness she had gotten during pregnancy.Hoor went to the restroom shaking her head. Asmara had also started waking up. Arhaan got up and changed her diaper. Then gave her a milk bottle.He was making weird faces, making his daughter laugh throughout the se
After 4 years,Hoor was smiling, giving instructions to the servants. Life had been good to them. It was Arhaan's birthday and Hoor was planning a surprise for him. Like every other year, Hoor didn't wish him as the clock hit 12 am. She didn't even mention his birthday. Arhaan was frowning again and again, seeing Hoor behave so casually. Otherwise, she made sure to make everything special for him. She won't even let him go to office but this time, she didn't even wish him."Ma'am, please sit down. Sir won't like you standing for so long in this condition." Mary said reminding her of Hoor's 4-month pregnant state. Her small baby bump wasn't visible in loose clothes. "I am fine." Hoor said smiling. When everything was arranged, Hoor went to get ready. She wore a long frock in red colour as Arhaan loved to see her in bright colors. She was smiling the whole time she was getting ready. Her plum cheeks were more plum and redder, all thanks to healthy eating. Hoor asked all the servants t
Next day, Arhaan and Hoor went to university. Arhaan was taking the lecture. He asked the students, "Are there any questions?""Yes sir! Are you married?" Maryam asked smiling boldly.Arhaan's eyes fleeted to Hoor for a second. "Yes, I am!" he said sternly. He won't have answered such a personal question, but he wanted to tell everyone that he was taken. He didn't want Hoor feeling insecure or sad."I won't mind being his second wife." a whisper was made, but it was loud enough for Arhaan to hear."I definitely would. There is no space in my life for anyone except my wife. And make sure I don't hear such stupid talk again." Arhaan said with a hard look on his face. Many diverted their eyes, scared of his hard look.Hoor was happy about what happened, but she also got scared of his angry look.Arhaan left for office after taking class. When Hoor went home in th
Arhaan woke up in the morning to find Hoor laying half on him. She was covered by the blanket till her shoulders. Arhaan could see the delicate structure of her bones.Her face was glowing, but tiredness was also clear. Arhaan kissed the top of her head, caressing her hair. "My brave girl." he said.Arhaan didn't wake her up for university but got out of bed. He covered her properly and went to take a bath. He was radiating with happiness today. After showering, he went to the garden and plucked some roses for his Hoor. He called his PA to tell that he would be late.When he was done with everything, he went to the room and prepared a bath for Hoor."Hoor e Arhaan! Wake up." Arhaan said caressing her hair. She finally seemed to wake up.Hoor found Arhaan leaning over her when she woke up. She remembered the events of the last night and blushed red. She tried to hide h
Next day, Hoor went to the university. After her 3rd class, she went to the restroom where she heard some girls talking. She recognized the voice of the weirdest girl (Maryam) of the class according to Hoor. She was known for her extra bold personality. Hoor had seen some of it also as Maryam loved to touch and laugh with guys."Have you seen Professor Randhawa's body? It looks like he should be on a magazine cover." Maryam said."That strong jawline! He is every girl's dream guy." another girl sighed."You know, I was passing by him in the corrido. OMG! He smells so good. I just want to stick my nose to his shirt." Maryam said in a lusty tone."Sure, you interested in his shirt only?" the other girl said teasingly."I am interested in whole of him." Maryam said confidently. Hoor felt her blood boiling. She had never wanted to fight someone so badly.The girls went out ta
After Hoor fell asleep, Arhaan got out of bed. He needed to make a call....In the evening, Arhaan helped her study. Next morning was nothing different. Hoor entered the university saying bye to Arhaan.Her 1st class went by slowly. Ayesha sat with her today also. They were waiting for the next class to start when HOD entered the room with Arhaan beside him. Hoor's eyes went wide seeing him there."Hello everyone! The person beside me is ARHAAN RANDHAWA, the owner of the Randhawa empire." There were gasps and hushes of surprise. "I would like to enlighten you that he is going to take over this class for as long as he can. My advice is.... Take advantage of his experience and his knowledge for as long as he is here." HOD completed on a light note. The whole class was whispering about the legend of the business world standing in front of them. Arhaan had taken over at a young age and led the company to another height.
In next few days, Arhaan got her enrolled in a popular university of Pakistan. The classes had already started a month ago. Arhaan was going to help her cover the syllabus.Hoor was joining her class from the next day. Arhaan took her to a shopping center so that she could buy whatever she needed. Amal had joined them also.She was buying all the cute stuff, a university going girl could want. Arhaan was focused on the things she would need. He bought different bags for her and some backpacks also. He got all the stationary she needed along with her books.Hoor already had tons of clothes which were fit for many occasions, thanks to Arhaan.After they went home, Hoor was feeling nervous about the coming day. She was playing with Arhaan's shirt trying to sleep."I wish that you can be there with me." Hoor mumbled in a wishing tone."Hoor! Everything
Next day in office, Arish also talked to Arhaan, "Amal told me about your decision of enrolling her in online classes."Arhaan sighed, "Not you too.""Then why are you not letting her?" Arish asked.Arhaan released a deep breath, "She...she gets scared in public, you know. In Kashmir, I left her alone for some minutes and came back to find her looking as if she was waiting for everyone to hurt her.""But keeping her locked in home isn't the solution." Arish said."Stop making it sound like I am caging her." Arhaan said."Let her face the world. Otherwise, she will always be like this." Arish said.Arhaan grimaced, "It's easy for you to say. My heart constricts seeing her scared. I will protect her till I am alive. Even if I am not there, you and Amal would be there to handle her." he stopped as if wanting Arish's admittance on las
Arhaan was thinking about their last day in Kashmir. To confirm all the arrangements, he had to talk to his PA. He left Hoor alone in a restaurant for a few minutes.The restaurant was crowded. When he was returning to his table back, he saw how nervous she was. It looked like she wanted to run from there.There was a relief on her face when she saw him as if no one would be able to harm her now. Arhaan felt his heart constricting at that moment.Hoor's hand on his stomach brought him out of his thoughts."Hoor." he whispered."Hmm?" She replied sleepily."Do you also think I am caging you in?" He asked. He admitted that he wanted to keep Hoor to himself but it wasn't the reason behind his decision. He would have never allowed his selfishness to decide something which was so important for Hoor.Hoor opened her eyes, not feeling sleepy an
