I was out of words while looking at the pack of pills. It was unexpected for me.
"You said you have a headache", she said but my voice was gone. I couldn't say anything and just stared at her.
She said nothing after that and walked to the table, poured a glass of water, then came back to me, taking out a pill.
"Have it", she proceeded her both hands with water and pain killer. "Don't worry. It's pain killer. I won't poison you"
"Huh? No! I mean— I know", I mumbled, immediately taking them from her hands.
I took the pain killer and she received the glass from me.
"Do you need a massage? I have balm too", she approached. Her sudden concern surprised me. Was she trying to pay back for what I did?
"No. I'll feel better with this. Thanks for the concern", I said.
"Okay. You can wake me up if you need a massage"
"Sure", I shook my head.
Turning on her knees, she walked to the door. And the next moment

AbrarI threw my exhausted body on the couch, closing my eyes for a while. I felt temporary cramps all over my body like every day. It used to vanish after a cold shower. However, I didn't feel like taking a shower either.My eyelids opened wide after a few minutes and I stared at the ceiling."Relax, Abrar. It was a silly lie and there's nothing to overreact to", I told myself but I didn't know why that lie affected me."But she could have told me. I'm not doing anything against her, no? Why can't she just tell me?""Why would she? She has some privacy""I wouldn't ask her where she was. She could just tell me that she wasn't at home. That was it""Whatever. Still, you don't have a right to question her. You don't need to worry about it either. Just remember that this relationship is fake. Admit it. And just shut your damn brain"I was fighting with my own thoughts again and finally decided to put an end to it. Stretching my a

Abrar "You're shopping a lot nowadays", I said when Zoya came inside. She got nervous like yesterday. "And you're coming back home early nowadays" "Aren't you happy that I'm coming back early?" "Y—yes. I mean No. I mean why would I care? It's your home. You can come and go whenever you want", she mumbled, keeping her purse aside. She walked inside her room immediately without making eye contact with me. What the hell was happening? Her recent actions were pissing me off. Yeah, I had no right over her decisions but she was the one to bound me with her life. She was an unpredictable girl and I was nervous about myself too. I came home early today also and I didn't find her again. I called her and she again lied to me that she was at home. What nonsense! What was the need of lying repeatedly? It meant she was doing something damn serious thing which could affect my life too. Things had been too much complicated. So as the

AbrarI wasn't ready to hear what she just said. Zoya was working? For what? She was already rich enough. She would be the owner of her father's company soon. And even if she was working somewhere, why didn't she tell me? It was nothing to hide about.I looked at Zoya. Her nervous eyes lingered on me and again dropped. Wasn't she being unreasonable? Definitely, she was. It pissed me off more."Anyway, let me know how it is", Mrs. Sharma passed us a smile and walked out of the apartment, slamming the door.There was only silence between us for a few second. She didn't speak much, nor I did. I didn't know what to say. Should I ask her? But she'd backfire at me. However, I could ask since she hid that from me."Abrar, listen", she immediately turned towards me with her shimmering eyes."What? You were shopping? Seriously? I don't think it was necessary to lie. It was unreasonable, Zoya", I couldn't stop myself from lashing out at her. She got n

AbrarKaif reached my apartment an hour later. I was sitting on the couch, already drank a whole jug of water. My throat was still drying up in tension."Abrar! What's wrong? Zoya is missing?", he immediately went on his knees before me when I had hung my head."Yeah", I murmured."Where was she?", he panicked while asking and panting heavily as if he had run the whole way from downstairs."I don't know", I said in a numb tone."What? She didn't tell you?""No"He paused for a while."Did you call her parents?", he asked."I did. She's not there either", my gaze was iced on the ground and I was answering him in a frozen voice."Where can she go? Any idea?", he kept questioning. However, I kept nodding."No""Do you have any number of her friends? You may know them. Anyone""No", I spoke."What the hell? Abrar!", he roared aloud this time in frustration. "Why are you repeating the

AbrarMy eyes settled on her from head to toe. I was silently observing if she was fine. Because I just couldn't go and panic to see how she was, nor I could rush and hug her tightly though I badly wanted to.She looked at me and then at Kaif in shock."Zoya, are you okay?", Kaif asked. Just a few minutes ago, he was asking me to go and sleep but I knew he got tensed too. I couldn't utter a single word and kept staring at her."Yes, what would happen to me?", she rolled her eyes as if nothing happened and everything was normal. It pissed me off. I couldn't hold it anymore.My eyes burnt and nerves shook as I clenched my jaw to control. However, it wasn't easy to control when she was acting like everything was fine."What the hell, Zoya?", my voice boomed around the tiny apartment and it echoed like never before. I had never heard my voice roaring like that way.She quivered a bit, widening her eyes and taking a step back."Abra

AbrarShe didn't speak and kept gazing at me. That might be the end of our conversation. I didn't know if there was anything left to say after that.Holding the papers, I pulled out the pen from my pocket, and without making a delay, I signed it and slammed it on the table.There was a long silence between us. I was waiting for her to finish if she wanted to say something else."Abrar!", Kaif spoke after a long time. "I'm going. Let me know if you need something""Thanks", I came out of my senses as he walked out of my apartment.I glanced at Zoya for once and turned to my room."Why did you call him over here?", her voice stopped me as I turned around and looked straight into her eyes. She crossed her arms, raising her eyebrows."Now, you have a problem with my friend too?", I grumbled and hoped she didn't make an issue of it too. "I can do anything I want, right? You shouldn't have a proble

AbrarI literally couldn't believe what I just saw and tried to come back to reality. But I saw exactly her. My grandparents were sitting on the couch. A big smile appeared on my face to see them after months but soon it vanished when I realized that the situation wasn't exactly the same as before."Abrar", my grandmother stood holding the arm of the couch as I rushed towards her and held her arms tightly. She had a million-dollar smile on her wrinkled face."Dadi, you're here? How are you?", I beamed, dumping all the negative thoughts aside. I should welcome them warmly."My boy!", she caressed my hair, skimming her palm down to my face and cupping it, looking at me with her moist eyes. "I'm good. How are you? It has been months since I saw you"I hugged her as my eyes went to my grandfather. His expressions were hardened. I wondered if they got to know about my marriage which was definitely fake. It was going to be tough for me to tackle the situ

Abrar"Where did you find this beautiful girl? I can't stop praising but she is so pretty", Dadi beamed, touching Zoya's cheek while having the tea.Unfortunately, I had to agree with Zoya. My dadajan and dadi used to be worried about me all the time. And today I could see the happiness on dadi's face and relief on dada's. Zoya was right. The happiness was temporary. So why not just stretch the happiness a little longer.Zoya passed a smile. Her cheeks turned a bit rosy. I didn't know if she ever blushed but today she did actually."I'm not interested in these silly questions, Salma. Ask him when they got married. This is the most important question", dadajan grumbled, looking away. He was still mad at me. And I knew he was fair in his place. He raised me like a father for the last ten years. And it was a huge thing for him. I walked towards him and went on my knees, holding his hands."Dadajan! Actually, it—", I strived to say.

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
His Billionaire Wife? Chapter 28
"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
