Electric,
was a word
I hadn't understood,
till I felt
Your touch.

Arya's P.O.V.
In the blink of an eye, we were outside of the hall and in the parking lot; probably heading towards his car.
"Where are you taking me?"
No reply.
Just great.
I tried to get my hand free, but Mr. Wali only tightened his hold.
He opened the passenger door and almost threw me inside and went towards driving seat; put the child lock on.
Yeah, great!
More than being furious, I was confused.
The engine came to life and he took off.
"Where are you taking me?" I asked him for the hundredth time.
"Just shut up for once, woman."
I was too caught up in the situation about me getting kidnapped or even worse getting killed, that I couldn't respond to him calling me a woman.
"I can't shut my damn mouth. You are taking me, God knows where, without my permission?"I said huffing.
"You wanted to get out of there, didn't you?"
"Yeah," I paused, "but not like this."
"I just did you a favor," Mr. Wali replied, nonchalantly.
I think I saw a smug look on his face.
I relaxed a bit, but not enough to forget what happened back there.
"I would be scandalized, you know; all the pictures they took of us."
"And Miss. Layana will have my head for this."
I'm in this fucking situation because of that fucking bitch.
"Don't worry about any news or any scandal," Mr. Wali tried to reassure me.
I nodded my head absentmindedly.
"Did you eat anything there ?" He asked me.
"No."
"Did you drink?"
"Yeah, just fruit juice," I told him.
"Good," he stated and took a turn towards left.
I was looking out of the window, thinking about the possible outcomes of the stunt he pulled.
At this point I got time to notice that he still had my hand in his much bigger one.
I tried to move it out of his grasp but just like the last time he tightened his hold and didn't let me pull it; not even looked my way.
This man is weird.
A new fear caught me.
What if somehow those pictures are leaked.
I would be exposed, I can't afford that, not now.
"You know you shouldn't have done this. What if she comes to know of it?" I said to Mr. Arrogant, who wasn't really looking like Mr. Arrogant at that time.
"Who comes to know and what?" He inquired.
I'm in a much shitty situation now.
"Umm... nothing."
"Tell me, NOW."
Ugh.. he is so demanding.
"About that, nothing, whatever." I couldn't even make a proper sentence.
"Tell me, Arya," he demanded.
"You will fire me," I stated.
"What, why would I do that?" He spoke, turning his face towards mine, feeling confused somehow.
"If I tell you, you will fire me, Zara and Tom, too."
"Let me know," he spoke soothingly, drawing circles on the inside of my palm with his thumb. "If you won't," he paused, "then I will fire Zara and Tom, but will keep you there to grieve at their loss because of you."
I started panicking even more.
"No, no, you won't do that."
"I will do whatever I want. If you want to stop me then tell me the truth."
"Okay, okay. I'll tell you but first, promise me you won't kick them out. You will only make me resign. Okay? I don't want to be kicked out of my very first job. I will resign, yeah, deal then?"
"Just speak it out."
"So what I'm gonna tell is that---. Just kick me out already. I don't want to confess."
"Damn it, Arya. Just out with it. Even if you murdered someone, I won't let anything happen to you. So tell me everything."
His eyes reddened while he spoke. He was going over the speed limit and was almost breaking all the signals on the way.
"I was never supposed to be your assistant," I started telling him, nervously, not sure about his reaction.
"Actually I'm a medical student here and as it is my summer break so I wanted a job, no actually needed a job, to pay rent and bills. No hospital was willing to give me a chance, at least. Only a cafe owner was kind enough to hire me I went there for a week, maybe. Then Mr. Ahmed did interviews for your receptionist and went out of state. When Tom came to know about that he convinced me and then we both convinced Zara to lie to the selected girl and hire me instead. Because you didn't know who was gonna join. She called her and excused to her."
I was breathing heavily by the time I finished my confession.
I started speaking again, still not looking at Mr. Wali's way.
"And I wasn't supposed to tell you this." I let out a breath, I didn't know I was holding.
" Zara and Tom did warn me not to tell anyone, especially not you. You can throw me out but not them, please," I pleaded with puppy eyes.
"I think I owe this to them," he replied rather calmly.
It wasn't the reaction I was expecting.
"You won't fire us all?"
"No."
I felt relief washing over me at his simple one-worded reply.
He halted the car in front of a fancy looking hotel and lead us inside, with his hand securely wrapped around my waist.
We went to a hall in a corner and it was empty.
He walked us to a table and we took seats.
No one was speaking a word.
After a few minutes, waitresses came and served us.
I took two or three spoons full of pasta when my phone buzzed.
The picture of my baby sister was flashing on the screen.
A smile automatically spread on my face.
I attended the call and beamed at her.
I stood up from the chair, set my phone on the table and twirled around to show her my dress.
"It's very beautiful." I heard her squeal.
"Thank ya. And I gotta go, I'll call you later."
"Okay, bye."
I sat on the chair and saw Mr. Wali smiling at me.
"What?"
"Nothing. You didn't seem to like the dress." He shrugged.
"It's not like that. I wasn't feeling comfortable about wearing it to the party otherwise I pretty much like it."
He poured coke in a glass and gave it to me.
"Thank you."
I started feeling self-conscious all of a sudden.
I didn't want to eat, like I hadn't eaten in centuries, in front of him, so I pushed the plate to a side.
"Finish it, Arya." I heard his smooth voice.
"I'm done," I said placing a hand on my belly.
"You sure?"
Why has he become so nice all of a sudden?
"Yes."
"If you want anything else?" He asked, his mouth almost opened, ordering something else.
"Really I don't want anything else."
He didn't speak after that.
He finished his pasta and I finished my cold drink in complete silence.
"Can I have a dance?" Mr. Wali asked, leaning towards me.
"Um. I don't know how to dance."
"You were dancing pretty fine with that scumbag."
In a second his happy demeanor changed to rebellious one.
"Actually he was teaching me, "I squeaked.
"I can be a better teacher and dance partner."
Without waiting for my reply he pulled me up by placing a hand on my back and holding my hand in his other, I collided with his chest but he steadied us both and reached the center of the hall under the chandelier.
A song started playing.
Would you dance if I asked you to dance?
Or would you run and never look back?
Would you cry if you saw me crying?
And would you save my soul tonight?
He tightened his hold on my hand and moved us with rhythm.
Would you tremble if I touched your lips?
Or would you laugh? Oh, please tell me this
Now would you die for the one you love?
Oh hold me in your arms tonight
His breath was fanning my face.
My eyes fluttered close at their own.
I can be your hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
He kissed my forehead and my eyes opened at their own accord.
I saw him gazing at me intensely.
Would you swear that you'll always be mine
Or would you lie? Would you run and hide?
Am I in too deep? Have I lost my mind?
I don't care, you're here tonight
Honey striking Black, producing Golden specks.
I could only see the swirls of gold in his eyes, every other thing was blurred to me.
Both of us were lost in a state of trance.
The singer continued:
I can be your hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
His skin was looking so much smooth and pale under the dim lights. I wanted to run my fingers on his well-sculpted face.
No one breaking eye contact.
Oh, I just hold you
I just hold you, oh yeah
Am I in too deep? Have I lost my mind?
Well, I don't care, you're here tonight
The blessed silence around us was ended by him.
"Say it."
"Say what?"
"Say my name, Arya."
"Mr. Wali?" I spoke in a questioning tone.
"My name, baby, my name."
"Alim."
I felt him suck a breath.
His name rolled off my tongue so smoothly. It felt so damn good to say his name.
Lost in the moment, I put my head on his chest.
His fingers grazing my bare skin and hand squeezing mine.
It felt like eternity.
I wanted this moment to be an eternity.
I can be your hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
His touch was magical. No, in fact, it was electrical. My skin tingled whenever he touched.
He ran his fingers up my back and sparks erupted all the way up.
His touch was smooth but firm.
Like he wanted me to know that he was there with me; ravishing the moment, too.
I can be your hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
You can take my breath away
I can be your hero

I loved the way you made it so easy for meto open up to you._Dipendra Tamang♡♡♡Somehow editedArya's P.O.VThe song ended and I reluctantly moved away from him.But his grip on my hand didn't budge and I wanted it to be this way forever. "We should go. It's late, "I stated. "Okay."
There is a voice that doesn't use words. Listen._Rumi•••• ARYA'S P.O.V.'I should come clean.' I thought to myself.I mustered all the courage I could and said, "I don't think I deserve this job. That was very nice of you not to call cops on me but I should resign." Regret was lacing my voice."And why is that?" he questioned, raising his brow and wrinkling his forehead."I don't know anything about this. I just did this for fun. Don't know how many times that poor girl had cursed me. She deserved it not me."We had stopped walking by now. We stood such that sun rays were striking and glowing ourselves.Swirls of gold were again visible in his black eyes.He was looking me in the eyes and I couldn't hold his gaze long
O rose thou art sick! The invisible worm, That flies in the night, In the howling storm, Has found out thy bed Of crimson joy; And his dark secret love Does the life destroy._William Blake••••• Alim's P.O.VArya was sitting beside me and the feeling of having her near me was the only thing I felt in years. I didn't know what I felt but every time I saw her something tugged at my heart.I held her hand in mine and unlike other times she didn't try to pry it away. It was the only contact I could have and I was never going to let it go. I was lost in her when her phone made a noise. It was her mom's call. I listened to it.
You believe in love just as a child believes in Santa Claus or fairytale.What is love then if not a fairytale meant for adults?••••••Arya' P.O.V. "HOW DARE YOU?"I shouted seeing Mr. Wali lying his head on my chest.He abruptly got up saying,"what happened?"I quickly moved out of the bed and stood,tears were threatening to flow out of my eyes remembering what injustice I had to endure last night.Mr. Wali came to me and kissed the tears off. That was it. I slapped his chest over and over. He stroked my hair and made me put my head on his chest which I helplessly put."Calm down," He spoke in a soothing tone."How could you do this?"He didn't say anything but kissed my hair."Don't touch me."I moved away from him, rubbing my eyes and cheeks roughly.

I wonder what it would be like To melt into Your sweet arms And get stuck there for eternity._Christy Ann Martine••• Arya's P.O.V.I always appreciated Tom's concern for me but not more than in that moment. On the other hand I was feeling betrayed because of Zara. She was siding with Mr. Wali,very well knowing that what he did was unacceptable.I had the plan to go to Pakistan and then taking legal steps against Mr. Wali.We reached the airport in an hour almost and I was constantly getting calls and voicemails from Mr. Wali. He threatened me of a lot of things but I really didn't care.The last night I was afraid for Zara's life but now I was not worried for any
Arya's P.O.V."Are you coming to the office?" He asked me when he was about to leave. I shook my head in negative."I'll see you at lunch," he murmured softly, pressing his lips on my forehead for several times. He had his eyes closed. A serene look was plastered on his face but his brows were still creased like always. I ran my thumbs on his thick eyebrows in an attempt to smooth them out. His eyes opened as soon as I touched him. Our gazes locked.BLACK TO HONEY!He squeezed my waist."Alım," I called him when I had buried my head in his shirt covered chest."Yes," he responded running his fingers in my hair."I want you to divorce me.''No sooner than the words had left my mouth, my elbow was twisted and my back was pressed to him."Ahhhh...," I screamed when he tugged my hair back harshly making me flinch."You do have the audacity to ask for divorce while standing in my embrace," he hi
Arya's P.O.V.Me and Logan were headed to the mall. I was sitting in the back seat, Logan in the passenger seat.Logan was the same bodyguard from the day when I had escaped Alim's penthouse.He was telling me how Alim had kicked his ass for letting me go. But afterward he was saved because Alim had reached me.I laughed listening to him while he repeated all the threats and all the cursing that Alim had done.Then I remembered the moment of embarrassment that Alim and I shared just before I left."Don't buy anything too personal- with Logan around," Alim had told me, a pink color on his ears.I would have made fun of him if he had not been the deep shade of red myself.I hurriedly had left the room after this, without answering."I want to redecorate my penthouse," I told the manager after showing him a theme.Logan and I were sitting in the ice cream parlor.He was wearing a Bluetooth ea

I waved at him."Mr. Wali," Zara said looking at him.He nodded at her."Come to my office," he said looking at me and left."I gotta go," I smiled at Zara and internally prayed for her happiness."Here," he said handing me my phone."Thank God. I was feeling so alone without my baby." I took the phone from his hand and pressed it to my chest, sighing
