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 your husband .If I haven't been sleeping in this room , it doesn't mean I can't .Learn to sleep beside me "Arhaan said caressing her cheek. He loved how puffy they were and how they colored on small things .
Hoor was tense , she wasn't expecting his touch to be so soft . She was expecting pain for her disobedience .But it never came, Arhaan took the clip out of her hair and laid her down on the left side , the side she slept on every night and then moved to the other side to sleep.
Hoor slept but Arhaan laid awake . He didn't plan to do this but her reluctance asked to every possessive part of him to show that she was his . If he hadn't been showing his rights, it didnt mean they werent his. He had seen the slight fear in her gaze when he went near her , he didnt want her fear, he knew that he was moving fast .it might be overwhelming for her . That's why, he didn't even touch her hand after laying on bed.
He turned towards her and looked at her sleeping form. He wanted to hide her from the world . She was so beautiful, but the thing which made him crazy was her innocence . He loved that how easily he could read her emotions ."what are you doing to me , Hoor -e -Arhaan ?"he said softly and touched her cheek . He wanted his protective feelings to lessen, but they had only increased with each second they stayed together. He had even taken out the thought of ever hating her out of his mind. There was no point of hoping for impossible things.
In the morning, Arhaan woke up first, he went for his morning work out. After returning he took a shower and decided to wake up Hoor. He had already asked Mary to bring their breakfast .he sat on the bed and pushed the hair away from his face. “Hoor , wake up "he said softly , but Hoor opened her eyes immediately. She was looking at him with glazed eyes , she was looking really cute in her night suit .
Arhaan couldn't deny himself , he leaned down and kissed her cheek ."Hoor "he whispered on a caress. Hoor got back into her senses and quickly got up. Arhaan smiled seeing her dishelved . He needed to inform his secretary that he wont be coming early today, his office time was 9 am and he didn't plan to go early any more .
Hoor took her clothes and went to shower. When Arhaan entered the room again, he saw her standing in front of the dressing table . She was trying to comb her hair . But they were long and reached her waist .Hoor was going through the trouble of combing them and now she was getting tired . It always felt like a chore to her. Her mother used to comb them for her , but now from sometime, she had to comb them herself .
Arhaan went near her and took the brush "you silly girl! You are breaking your hair "he said in a stern voice .Hoor looked at him wide eyed ,expecting pain to be served soon . But he stroked that beautiful honey brown waterfall and then started combing her hair .
Once it was done , he placed the brush down and said "Mary is here for your help. Ask her if you find something troubling you. And don’t try to comb your hair like that again , if I'm not home ask Mary to do it for you "he said the last part sternly.
She pouted “I have been combing my hair myself from sometime now "she said and Arhaan replied "I can see that ".
Hoor knew that she wasn't really careful about her hair . She hated her long hair, because someone loved them. She wanted to cut them, but couldn’t muster up the courage for it .
Mary knocked the door ,Arhaan touched Hoor's cheek "stop pouting and lets eat "he said and gave permission to Mary to enter .she left after serving food .
Hoor took the same food , she did daily .Arhaan took a deep breath, nothing was different from yesterday . He took a plate and placed some pancakes in it "try them “he said putting the platr infront of Hoor . She looked at them and then at her own plate “no, its fine "she said meekly .
"Don’t you like it? "He asked turning her face towards him.
Hoor couldn’t even think of lying looking at her face . "I like them "she said .
"So eat "he said , Hoor couldn’t explain her problem .
"Eat "he used his stern voice , Hoor quickly picked her plate up .
She took a bite, she wanted to eat but her body was denying to comply . Her body was already growing tight, coiling in fear of punishment. Her brain knew that it wont happen but her body wasn’t getting the message .
Arhaan saw her fighting with herself . Her cheeks were getting red , her eyes started to shine with unfallen tears .
Arhaan took her fork and placed it in the plate . Hoor still didn't look at him .
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

Arhaan helped her out of the car, and then they headed towards the entrance of venue .Hoor was scared of falling, he placed a hand around her waist and supported her in walking .Everyone was awestruck, when they saw the couple entering. Hoor's family was also invited for the reception.Arhaan took Hoor towards the sofa. The background was decorated beautifully. Some guests came towards them to greet .Amal also came towards them" what's this bhai? She is looking so stunning and you hid it all" she complained." this net isn't even covering her face, no need to complain" Arhaan grumbled and Arish smirked seeing his possessiveness." Should I take it off then? " Amal asked mischievously."No !" Arhaan said firmly and headed towards some of his bussiness associates. He expected Amal to keep Hoor company .
