Nikhat
I woke up late since I slept late last night. It was so hard to sleep after the hurtful things I had to hear. As soon as I opened my eyes, the flashes came before my eyes.
Last night, when Kaif left I was taking out the garbage to dump them downstairs where I saw the wife of the landlord. I just passed her a smile until I discovered her weird gaze at me. It made me uncomfortable and I tried not to pay much attention to it.
"How are you, Nikhat?" She asked with a smirk on her face. She had always been a bit grumpy and I thought that night she was still the same. I kept the smile on my face.
"I'm fine, madam. How're you?" I asked, she didn't like to be called aunty or something else. She thought she owned not only the apartment but also the people staying here. There was a reason. Her husband used to give flats at a low price to those people who couldn't afford much. And his wife never liked it.
She treated the tenants as her employees. I
From now, I'll add the names of the couple who will lead the chapter so you can know if you're getting the scenes of your preferable couple. And I'll be adding Abrar and Zoya's chapter from tomorrow
IrtazaWhat's happening in Ali Mansion? Three days passed since I last met them. Mr Ali suddenly declared a holiday of three days after that day. All the official works went online and I couldn't know what the heck was going on with Zoya. What was she doing? I couldn't go there since I didn't have an excuse but finally, I could hire some men to spy near the mansion. He was about to give me the news of Zoya.I had also kept track of Abrar. He was doing his job peacefully. Zoya didn't meet him nor he goes to meet her.Did it mean they were officially over? What happened inside the washroom that day after I left?Nah! Zoya would never give up so easily. Maybe, she was planning something huge. Something that none could ever expect. I knew her well. If she had sworn to get Abrar, she would cross all the limits for him.Darn it!I shrugged and clutched my hair."Remember if you fail this time, it'll be hard to ac
AbrarShe smiled at me. The heavenly smile made her look more gorgeous. I had never seen her like this before. Only imagine. Only dreamt of her being my bride but never in my dreams did she look so much gorgeous. I fell in love with her again.I didn't wanna wake up.Let this dream stay a little longer.Only a dream could be so beautiful.She walked towards me, her cousin and walked next to her. It was just a moment I always wanted to feel.I would wait for her the entire day and she would be a treat to my eyes when she would walk up to me on the day of our wedding.I couldn't stop staring at her when she reached me, keeping the smile on her face."You can't stop staring, Mr Zafar", she giggled. "Am I looking so beautiful?""So much", I whispered as she chuckled.I missed her smile, I missed the sound of her chuckle, I missed her teasing me, I missed her coming to my dreams like her real self. Yeah, I had dr
AbrarI was left dumbfounded. My entire body was frozen. I just started at her shaking eyes. It felt like if I even try to take a tiny step and uttered a single word, she would pull the across her wrist."Zoya!" I managed to speak somehow. "You know this time I'm not gonna get manipulated by you. Stop doing this""I'm not lying, Abrar", she whispered. "What will I be ever done by staying alive? I have always loved people in the wrong way. I can't help it. I can't love them in the right way. Today you'll tell everyone the truth. My father will be shattered to know what I did back then for him. He won't realize I only did all this for him. He'll never forgive me, nor will I get you. What's the point of this fucking life?"I sighed as our eyes met. I couldn't see her like that, not even in my dreams. I didn't know from when she started getting fed up with her life."I can't stand people saying ill about my father. But I can't change what
Zoya"Zoya, what's this cut about?" Ammi exclaimed when I came out of the room. Her eyes directly went on my bandage. Everyone seemed to be concerned as ammi rushed to me, holding my wrist. "You cut your hand? The bandage was not there before", she added.I pressed my lips in nervousness. I was so much lost in the conversation with Abrar that I didn't even make up a story for this cut. Of course, I wouldn't tell them that I literally attempted suicide. They would kill me with their words.However, I was never going to cut my wrist. I knew he would never let it happen. I was not dumb to kill myself and push him into regret for his entire life."Ammi, that's—" I was mumbling when dadi uttered."Were you guys fighting again?" Dadi blurted out. Her eyes were full of tension."Really? You guys were fighting?", abbu too exclaimed."Ah! No abbu. You guys are too quick to panic", I laughed. "Actually, the window of our roo
KaifI was exactly standing near the door since Abrar's flat was too small for so many people. I heard the doorbell and frowned. According to my, Mr Ali didn't allow anyone except us and there was tight security at the gate. No one could enter without the invitation card. Maybe, he called any family member.I slowly opened the door. And my mouth fell open. Nikhat was standing at the door in a red salwar suit, her hair was open for the first time and she had put on light make-up."Wow! I didn't know you could look so much girly", I mocked, without even letting her in.She immediately passed me a blank look. "Huh! What do you mean?"Her eyebrows drew together and her eyes looked bigger today. Maybe, because of some crap liner and all. But those things didn't seem to be crap at all now. She looked simply beautiful."Nothing. I thought you were not invited", I said."I thought you were not", she rolled her eyes."Why not? I'm
Abrar"Hey, who are you? How did you get inside my room?" I yelled almost, finding a girl in my room. How the hell could it happen? An unknown girl standing next to the bed, her back facing me.I was almost about to panic when she turned to me, making my jaw drop. Even more. I was stunned, completely gawking at her in disbelief. It was Zoya."What? Have you gone through a memory loss or what?" She gasped combing her hair. But I still couldn't believe it was her.She was in the night suit. But that was not what I found shocking. I just couldn't believe she was in shorts!"Is that you? Seriously?" I turned my gaze away, realising I shouldn't be looking at her in that way.Okay, maybe I could.Maybe, not.I didn't know."Who would dare to step inside my room? Huh!" She laughed, claiming the room with full rights. She never called it her room. She used to address everything mine. Not hers. It was the first time she did that.
ZoyaI didn't know what possessed me when I did such a bold move. But I knew how he was. He would never take an initiative even if he craved so bad for me. I sensed the gap between us reducing as I locked my both legs with his ones.Darkness wasn't a barrier for us. I couldn't see his reactions well but I could hear his heavy breaths. Even I was breathing heavily. Never before I came so close to a guy. And it was tough for me to take the first initiative first."That's better", I mumbled. "You have some problem?"He didn't reply but I could sense his gaze on me. I felt awkward for a moment and tried to unlock my legs but he relocked them again, pulling me a bit closer."Much better", he whispered as I smiled, biting my bottom lip. I wanted to hug him so bad. It was finally the moment I could claim him as I wanted but I should just leave something for him."Are you comfortable?" He asked abruptly, pulling me out of my thoughts.
AbrarHer demand didn't surprise me. Even I was intending to attempt the same but I didn't know how to go for it. It was tough for me to stay away from her now when she was so damn close to me, in my arms. She was so smooth and tender that I felt like keeping touching and caressing her delicate skin. My hand was still placed on her bare waist firmly."What happened?" She muttered."I'm not good at it", I said from nowhere. "I have never""Even I have never", I heard her chuckle. "We'll learn it together""That's — that's really weird", I stammered."You never kissed anyone? I mean I thought only I was single throughout my life until I met you", I heard her cracking up."I try to save some things for the permanent one in my life", I uttered from nowhere."Don't tell me you think marriage is needed to make everything permanent", she scoffed."That's not the case. But it should come from your heart. No?"I coul
Nikhat"He's the photocopy of Abrar", Mrs. Ali says, holding the newborn. After eight months of our marriage, Zoya delivered a cute baby boy. He's a premature baby, indeed but still out of all danger by the grace of God. "Just pray that he gets the same tactics as me. I can't handle two short-tempered creatures", Abrar laughs."Wait! You just wait. Let me get a bit healthier", Zoya shoots him a glare. "You can scream only. What else can you do?" Abrar rolls his eyes."You—"And they continue.I take the newborn in my arms, giggling at him lovingly."First and foremost rule, Mrs. Wife", Kaif whispers near me. "No future planning after this"He's always so scared!"I know right? Stop worrying!" I scowl at him. So many things changed over time but he didn't. At first, he was scared to love someone and get married. Now, he's scared of having a baby. I don't mind it though. It's just a matter of time. I'm happy the way I am.I was promoted to the company with my salary getting doubled.
Nikhat"Are you hungry already?" Kaif asks from behind.I drift my eyes outside and look at him from near the window with a smile. He is munching a subway burger with a tight-lipped smile on his face. "Wouldn't it be better if you had gotten something for me instead of just asking?" I shrug, jumping behind and sitting at the edge of the window."Hey, careful", his eyes widen. "You're gonna fall""I'm used to it", I giggle. "This is not the first time I'm sitting at your window"He chuckles, walking toward me. "Yeah, but definitely you never hoped onto it wearing a lehenga", he scoffs as I stare down at him. He stops just an inch away from me and spirals his left arm around my waist. I shudder with the abrupt contact and lack of distance between us. My heart starts thudding against my chest and my body vibrates when he tightens his grip around me. It's been a year since we were engaged but never before has he touched me this way. I didn't want him to. But if he wanted, I wouldn't ev
Author's POVRuzina goes completely shocked but it doesn't take her much time to understand what is exactly happening. "How wouldn't I come, Mrs Ruzina?" Irtaza chuckles. "After all, the alliance maker should be there?" Zoya presses her lips tightly so she doesn't burst into laughter by watching Ruzina's stunned face. On the other hand, Nikhat gets confused with Irtaza's words."Alliance maker?" She exclaims."We can discuss that later", Zoya jumps into the conversation. "Let the guests in, Nikhat""I'm sorry", she smiles and makes a way for them to get in. As others follow Ridwan and Nikhat inside, Ruzina keeps standing there and gazing at Irtaza."You look stunned, Mrs Ruzina", Zoya rolls her eyes. "Ah, well, let me introduce myself. Zoya Zafar, Irtaza's business partner and your would-be son-in-law's friend"Ruzina curls up her face and doesn't even smile at any of them. Zoya crosses her arms and takes a step toward her, raising her eyebrows."What did you think Mrs Ruzina? Onl
NikhatI have been waiting for the evening the entire day and finally, the moment arrived. Kaif has indeed replied to me with a message which said, "it's fine"The text didn't sound genuine to me at all. Especially when he sent only two words in the reply to my entire paragraph. Couldn't he realise the urgency in that message? I don't know if I'm overthinking. He's not bound to send me a paragraph just because I did. "Nikhat, shall we leave?" Mia asks. "No. I have some work left", I lie. I don't have any pending work. Besides, Irtaza already told us that he doesn't need the whole team today. I should have left. "I thought you were done", Mia roll her eyes."No. I—" I stammer. "I'm yet to complete a few""Okay, then. Goodnight", grabbing her stuff, Mia walks towards the exit. I get back to my desk and look for some work to do. "Nikhat!" Irtaza's voice hits my ear as I look up, finding him walking out of his cabin which is straight in front of me. "You didn't leave yet"I don't kn
NikhatI don't know how to react to this crap. I can only see how hard Irtaza is trying to pass a smile. I know that wasn't expected. And why did he even need to come here just because Ruzina called him? He could have turned her down. He has plenty of work to do. I force a smile and walk toward them. "That was not necessary. Was it?" I mumble, glaring at Ruzina. How can she still smile like that?"I just thought to—" Ruzina strives to say as I walk up to her."Thought to what?" "This is so embarrassing. Why did you do this? He's my boss", I exclaim, whispering near her face.I can't say if she deliberately did that. Why would she anyway?"But he said—" she mutters. "That's called courtesy which he said. And we'll not do that. That's our courtesy", I shoot her a glare. Ruzina frowns at me as if she still can't digest that I'm arguing with her. As I should. I should have done that a long time ago. And now she literally crossed the limits by embarrassing me. What will Irtaza think a
"Okay. What about that?" I ask."Irtaza came there to meet them. They spend an afternoon together", he says and his reactions harden."Okay, so?" I ask even though I have already sensed what it meant. This is something different from any boss and employee relationship. I'm not judging though and I'm not even sure if there's another reason. I bet Kaif also doesn't know the exact reason. He's just assuming. "So? Zoya, can't you understand what that means", he scoffs at me. "That means Nikhat is having a lot of guests. What else?" I roll my eyes. "Stop it, yaar. You—``''why can't you see what I'm seeing?" He yells out of nowhere. "Because I'm not as intelligent as you. Explain to me", I scowl at him. "You can't get, Zoya? Really? Don't you know what it means? In this society, when a guy meets a girl's parents? That guy who likes her. They literally had a meeting, a conversation. Don't you know what it seriously means?" He speaks out of frustration."So!" I mumble.."So!""Yeah. So,
KaifI walk faster. As fast as I could. Through the dark alley. My head literally stops working when I put the pieces of the puzzle of that incident. I don't know why I'm getting so pissed and irritated. He just came to meet.He just came to meet. I kept ranting this to myself until I reached the resort. I feel my breathing getting ten times faster than before. I can hear my groans as I grab the grills of the gate and fum heavily. My body has heated up and I'm unable to calm down anyway. Everything was going so fine. So damn fine. Until she talked about Irtaza being there. I lost it and I didn't want to show how pissed I was, nor could I behave normally. I'm already hiding enough and this will go beyond. Anticipation builds me rapidly, no matter how much I try to console myself. "Sir, I need to close the gate", the security guard says. I glare at him for no reason and storm into the resort, walking as fast as I can.I reach my room and twist the knob. Opening it a bit, I slam the
Nikhat"Nikhat!" He whispers my name but I don't look up. I feel him holding my hand tightly and I hold the edge of the bench. Then I sense him decreasing the gap between us. He uncovers my face, lifting my hair from my cheek and tucking them behind my ear. I can feel him staring at me which makes me blush harder. "Look at me", he leans down to my ear and whispers. I squirm with his warm breath fanning my skin. As I don't respond to his words, he lifts his hand to me and slides two of his fingers across my jaw, slowly nudging my face towards him. I finally look up at him. Our eyes meet. He smiles, peering at me as if he's scanning each detail of my face. I had never been so comfortable with anyone's gaze the way I'm with him. It seems to be pure and peaceful. Most importantly, I love it. He locks his hand with mine and gets closer to my face. Enough closer which forces me to drop my gaze in shyness. "Why do you always steal your gaze from me?" He whispers. "I want you to look
NikhatIt's been a while since I've sat here in the dark alley with Kaif. It's so strange that I have never explored this alley in the last six months but today I did. With him. I'm also a bit concerned about Ruzina and Abbu being in the lodge. They might be wondering where I have been. I'm sure Ruzina is gonna make a fuss about it to abbu as she has always been doing about me. I remember those days when I couldn't be a single minute late to return from school and Ruzina used to complain to abbu, saying I had been disappearing for hours. I can't forget those dreadful days and somewhere I used to believe Ruzina is acting like all the typical mothers as she had made me believe all mothers are like that. I used to think she was strict and wanted the best for me. As I grew up, I realised it wasn't a normal thing. But then, it was too late. Abbu wouldn't believe me if I said anything against her. He used to think I had gone reckless. I never complained for years. Then why at that moment
