He stood there watching her in silence. His body reacted on its own, before he could comprehend he was walking toward her.He stood right behind her, so close that he could inhale her rosy scent. His eyes lingered on the nape of her neck. Her skin was flawless.He didn't realize when he placed his hand on the counter and then in the blink of an eye she let out a shrill scream that pierced through his eardrums causing him to stumble a step back as he pressed his ear lightly to cause less damage.Hooriya swirled around while screaming at the top of her lungs when she found him standing there with wide shocked eyes. She abruptly shut her mouth and swallowed down the rest of her scream.She opened her mouth to speak but then shut it again. Her heart was pounding in her ears and she had just come face to face with a heart attack.She abruptly turned around and strutted towards the sink. She opened the faucet and washed her hands hurriedly before drying it with a dishcloth.It was just him.
Hooriya locked her door and lay down on the bed but she wasn't sleepy. Her mind continued to play Hamza's words like a reel.He made her so flustered.This was not right. He was not supposed to be so casual with her like that. There had to be some boundaries that he shouldn't cross.Getting up she walked to the closet and took out his suit jacket which she had kept safe with her.She stared at it for a brief minute before she draped it on the chair and walked back to the bed.He never asked for it back but then again, he didn't come here in all those days. Right now she didn't feel like going out of the sanctuary of her room just to return his jacket to him. What if he cornered her again and said weird things? Leaving the room would be a bad idea. She could simply give his Jacket to Salaar the next morning and ask him to return it to Hamza.Hooriya lay there on the bed but she kept thinking about his behavior and just like that slowly sleep consumed her.It was in the middle of the ni
"Salaar, what do you call a person who loses a bet?" Farhan asked."A loser," Salaar replied nonchalantly, completely unaware of Hamza who was pissed at Farhan.For the past few days, Farhan has made it his mission to irritate the crap out of Hamza.He has been doing this shitty stuff and taunting him indirectly nonstop. Of course, Hamza lost the bet but Hamza didn't care the least bit about it."I'm thinking of buying a heavy bike," Farhan said and Salaar raised a brow at him."Go ahead," He said."Hamza is going to buy me one," Farhan mused and Hamza gave him a stink eye.Salaar looked between both of them one by one and then his brows furrowed and then realization dawned on him."No f*cking way. Boss could never lose a bet to you," Salaar said oh so confidently causing Farhan to burst into laughter. "Oh, but he did." Farhan mused cockily causing Hamza to glare daggers his way."Fine! Shut the f*ck up! I'll buy you a bike but you'll keep your f*cking mouth shut," Hamza growled whil
The door burst open and Salaar barged into the office. Hamza and Farhan both stared at him stunned."Hooriya is missing," Salaar said and both the men's eyes widened as they stared at him shocked."What?" Farhan said."Shiza called. Hooriya went to the nearby store to buy some groceries. When she didn't return even after an hour, Shiza went to check on her and she wasn't there. For the last three hours, Shiza was looking for her in the whole society but Hooriya was nowhere," Salaar said, panicking.The three of them stiffened in fear. The fear has built a root in their souls after what happened to Shiza. "Go look for her," Hamza barked as Salaar and Farhan nodded and dashed out of there.Hamza collected his gun, stuffing it into his pants. He grabbed the car keys and left his office.F*ck!Why wasn't she home yet? And if she wasn't in the society then he was afraid to think she might be in danger. He couldn't help himself as the worst-case scenarios raked his head.He sped the car th
She was too stunned to speak. For a second, she thought she heard him wrong but the way his jaw was clenched indicated that he surely said what she heard.She didn't say anything. What was she even supposed to say to that? It was sudden and out of the blue that she didn't know how to respond to it. Her mind was still stuck with the injured kid and his mom. Their blood was all on the road.She breathed in deeply to calm herself down as she blinked twice and looked out of the window silently.Hamza's hold on the steering wheel tightened as her silence played brutally with his heart. This wasn't supposed to be the case. He shouldn't feel like this."Hooriya?" He called her name.She took in a sharp breath and stayed as calm as possible with her gaze solely fixed on the passing trees.He was serious, there wasn't any doubt in that."Jee? (yes)?" She whispered and just a mere small word from her had him breathing deeply."Maine kuch pucha hai, (I've asked you something)," His voice was de
She couldn't sleep the whole night. She couldn't even decipher what was happening in her life. Two men wanted to marry her and both of them asked her on the same night. What more miraculous thing could happen than this?She got up from the bed and did ablution as she prayed in the silence of her room. Raising her hands like a crescent shape in the air and prayed to Almighty Allah to show her the right thing. She wept silently because she felt burdened.She didn't know whom to choose. If Hamza had never asked her about marrying him, she might've said yes to Salaar but now she didn't know what to do anymore.She saw how Hamza was glaring at Salaar when he said something about buying her a phone. Hooriya knew how much Hamza meant to Salaar. For Salaar Hamza was like his elder brother he never had. Hamza brought them out of darkness and gave them new life. It was evident Hamza trusts Salaar so much that was why he let Hooriya live at Salaar's house in the first place but now everything w
She stirred in her sleep. She tried to open her eyes but they felt heavy. Her head was pounding in pain. No matter how much she tried she was unable to open her eyes. She felt cold. The mattress under her was soft and warm yet she felt cold. No matter how much she tried, she was unable to open her eyes or move her hands. And just like that, she drowned back in the darkness.The next time she woke up, she was feeling a lot better as she slowly opened her eyes and blinked several times to adjust her sight.A groan escaped her lips as she moved a little. Her body felt drained. She stared around the room. Whose room was this? The room was freezing thanks to the AC. All of a sudden her eyes widened as she abruptly sat up. A pain shot through her head due to the abrupt move as she pressed her temple and winced in pain.She stared at the silk sheets that were covering her up and just like that she recalled what had happened before she lost consciousness and her eyes widened.She was kidnapp
"It's because I've only ever shown you the worst side of me. The circumstances in which we met weren't very appealing." He said truthfully as she wiped her tears."Now what are you d...doing? Is this the right way to approach me?" She asked and he clenched his hands into fists."I did approach you in the right way first but you said no. I tried to be the nice guy," His voice held anger."Do you think that you'll make me say yes by kidnapping me?" She asked sharply and he narrowed his eyes on her.His jaw was clenched as he took threatening steps toward her. Before she could step back. He grabbed her arm and yanked her to him rather roughly."I could make you say yes, right now, right here and you know that very well." He said coldly and his words sent chills down her spine as she tried to get out of his grip but it was like steel."L...let me go," She whispered, trembling."You know me enough to know you should not test my patience," the warning behind his words was like danger bells
