Zoya

From the moment I opened the door for him today, I could see something else in his eyes when he looked at me. Not the way he stared at me every day. It was kinda different. I didn't know what it was. There might be something about the birthday. I didn't see any other reason for it. Nonetheless, I wished he would look at me the same way he was doing now.

My cheeks felt warm as I tried not to smile.

Stop giving him hints, Zoya.

It's not the time for this.

I scolded myself and closed my eyes shut for a while.

Stop blushing!

Stop smiling!

Be the same one with him you always pretend to.

I was ordering myself repeatedly but it was being impossible for me to hold it with every passing second. Especially now it hit me whenever I pretended to be harsh with him. I was not the same girl anymore who didn't care about him and show her stupid arrogance.

I did care for him now. More than I ever did for anyone exce

    Abrar When I woke up, I didn't find Zoya on the bed. Her towel was not hanging near the closet so I figured out she was in the washroom. I didn't see her at all after that kiss. When she was not coming into the room, I sensed her anxiety so I made sure she had proper time to get over the moment. I hoped she was normal now. I wanted to see her very badly. I wanted to see a change in her after that drastic moment. At that point, both of us knew there was something. And I would confirm it this evening. Grabbing my clothes, I came out of the room. Dadi was at the table, dadajan was reading the newspaper. The washroom's door was open. Where's Zoya? "Good morning, dadi", I said. "Good morning", I smiled at them and tried to peek into the kitchen as I heard some noise. She was there. I pressed my lips and stood there for a while to see if she was coming out. But it was taking time. I thought to take a shower first before I got inside.

    ZoyaThe sun was already too hot which meant it's noon. I looked at the clock to be sure from the balcony. My phone kept vibrating with tons of messages from people I knew but was not in touch with, people from the office, people in relatives. All my birthdays were spent in a room. I used to lie down and wait for the evening for abbu's surprise which I used to be aware of and to kill the time, I used to copy a 'thank you' text and paste it into each reply section. Every year, I used to visit my parents twice. On every Eid, on every birthday.But this year, it was completely different, filled with a different feeling. The last 12 hours of my life seemed to be the most magical. And I wanted them to continue. Such a vast change in Abrar's behavior was still like a dream to me. I wondered for how long he was trying to hide his feelings and his desires from me. I did the same.Was it actually necessary?The cool breeze of autumn gave chills all o

    AbrarAs I came back to the office reception, I saw Zoya coming inside. She had worn the purple suit today which she almost avoided for a month. She was looking simply beautiful as always. However, my sanity drags me out of the fantasies and forced me to look at the distress on her face. She was looking numb. I was sure that something happened after I left the apartment today. I decided not to ask anything about it right now. She said would tell me after the party. And there was no way I was ruining this moment for us.This day meant a lot to me. When I was planning to make the most important decision of our lives, she was going to tell me what the actual mysteries were? I felt nervous for a while. What if her fear turned out to be true? What if there was something actually wrong that I might not digest? But I trusted myself. My entire life was filled with agony and struggles. I was used to it. But it was Zoya.Ammi used to say that we never get hurt by those wh

    AbrarShe opened her eyes slowly and peered deep into my eyes. I could hear our heartbeats. Why was it so tough?Until yesterday, it was tough to tell her.Now, it was tough to wait for a few hours to tell her. I couldn't wait. I just wanted to say it.She left my arm and clutched the collar of my coat. Leaning back to the chair, she pulled me down to her again. She was bold enough and I didn't want to go further from this.Don't look at her lips, Abrar. I told myself and wished she was not desiring that. I would have to turn her down.She pulled me closer until our faces were an inch apart. She moved her head up and placed her lips on my forehead. I felt shivers down to my spine as her lips touched my skin. She cupped my face and stared at me with a smile."Take your return gifts, Mr. Zafar. I'm dying to give them back to you", she giggled, pulling a smile on my face. "And don't get nervous, I won't cross my limits which you set withou

    Abrar"Perfect", I said, looking at the beautiful ring glistening inside the box. I wondered how it would look in her thin finger. Would she love it? She would, I know. She loved the bracelet I gave her when she didn't even like wearing bracelets. "Thanks a lot""Here's your bill", the man passed me a memo. I looked at the numbers and couldn't believe I spent so much on this still, I wasn't having any regrets. It happened the first time to me.I paid him the amount and came out of the shop. It was dark all around. The party might have started. I had to rush. Mr. Ali would be disappointed with me if I made it too late. I walked to the nearby florist and brought a beautiful bouquet, red roses! I wanted to buy 223 roses since it had been 223 days since we met. So many days passed! However, I couldn't handle them right now and thought to give this surprise later.I hired an auto and left for the office.My heart was pounding faster. Just

    AbrarZoya hugged her father as a few business clients joined to congratulate her. It was her moment, so I thought to give her some space and moved to the counter."Anything cold. Alcohol-free", I said to the man who was serving the drinks."Sure, sir", he said.I looked back. Zoya was shaking hands with the partners, one by one. I smiled at her and picked out the box of that ring. Would be happy more than she was now? I hoped so.The waiter gave me a cola and I started taking sips when I heard the music in the background. I didn't look back and continued to drink."Hey", Zoya grabbed my arm from behind as I looked up at her."Congrats", I smiled at her when she was gazing at me."What happened?""I'm watching you, Mr. Zafar. You're doing weird things from the moment you came here. Why didn't you come to me after the announcement? You just vanished", she groaned."Well, there were many big people to congratu

    ZoyaI pinned myself with the wall, my head becoming heavy. I knew the truth because it was I who did this. But never before did I feel like a culprit. When Irtaza spoke the truth, those words felt terrible and I sensed myself to be the worst girl in this world. I couldn't speak though I tried to force myself."Tell me, Zoya. I'm not wrong, right?", he walked towards me and came closer, so much that I could never imagine him to be. But I was out of courage to drive him away.He showed me a mirror.Abbu used to say, "we know what mistakes we have done. But we take them lightly. But when someone else shows us what we did, we become cowards to see the truth""Say it, Zoya. Didn't you?", his face was hell close to mine but I didn't dare to move. I was facing myself. The mirror which showed what I was and what I did. "There's no point of lying because I got to know everything about you and your so-called acts. Now, I'll just go and tell the

    Zoya I was standing numb there, unable to figure out what to say or what to do. His complaint-filled eyes staring at me, his eyes glistening to roll down the teardrops he was holding back. He was broken! My breathing got faster and I strived to take a step towards him. "Ab—", before I could even call him, he turned around and walked straight out of the room. "Abrar!" I clamored but he didn't look back, just left the big bouquet filled with red roses on the floor. My eyes froze on them for a while. I just ran and went on my knees, collecting them. Thorns pinched my skin but I didn't care. Those were the first roses he had ever brought for me. I could hear my clamor. I was crying my heart out while hugging the bouquet. When I couldn't move or do anything, my heart screamed out to go after him. I couldn't let him go. I would bring him back, I would bring my love back. No matter what. Forcing my legs to get up, I rushed out without was

    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
