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
Her eyes widened as she tried to free her hair from his harsh grip but to no avail. No matter how much she struggled, he had an upper hand here. Her strength was nothing compared to his. She was at his mercy. Hooriya was in a compromised condition and emotions of raw fear that roved through her form made her heart tremble in such pain and heartache that she felt as if she would die at any moment.She closed her eyes shut as big fat tears caressed her cheeks. He was so close that she could feel his hot breath on her lips. Because of his tall frame, his face was hovering over her.One of her hands was on his chest to create distance while with her free hand she tried to loosen his hold on her hair."Don't make me hurt you, Hooriya." He said coldly but she could sense a hint of softness in his voice and she also felt his hold on her hair loosening enough not to hurt her."You c...can h...hurt me all you want. Y...you are a m...man. You h...have power here. Y...you can use me a...all you
The time when Hooriya left that room. It was already dark outside but the lights on the yacht were enough to make the surroundings bright. She noticed the sparkling lights on the shore. They were heading back.She walked to the bow and stood on the edge of it gazing ahead. Breathing in deeply she felt the cold breeze as it caressed her skin. It felt beautiful as if she was flying.Her head was aching because of all the crying she did in the past hours. She was unaware that Hamza could see her from the control room.He was entranced by her beauty. She looked like a fallen angel from heaven.How he wished to keep her all to himself. Hidden away from this world but that was not how it works. It was her choice if she wants him or not and he'll respect her decision no matter what. Though it would gut him if she agrees to marry Salaar, then it must be his fate and he just simply can't force her.The car was already waiting for them at the port. He told the driver to leave as he opened the p
Salaar walked to the terrace as he sighed staring ahead at the sky. He had lied to Hooriya about that girl and falling in love at first sight. This wasn't the case. There were a few reasons why he backed off. As a man he could easily tell that Hamza liked Hooriya immensely, maybe he hadn't realized it himself but it was written in his eyes whenever her name was mentioned. Hooriya on the other hand didn't seem to like him, it wasn't that she liked Salaar but it was obvious she would've chosen Salaar over Hamza because she was scared of Hamza because of everything he did when she was his captive but Hooriya didn't know that she was in that place because of Salaar in the first place and if she ever found out in the future then what would be left in their relationship even if they got married.She would feel betrayed. Yes, Salaar knows that Hooriya was a good girl and would make an amazing wife one day but he wasn't passionate about her like Hamza.As a man he knows, he knows that Hamza
"I'm not talking to you, leave," Batool said sternly and Hamza smiled as he walked into his mother's room.Without saying a word he walked to the side of the bed and crouched down on the floor. He didn't say anything else and simply placed his head on his mother's lap."Ami (mom) my head is paining," He said in a muffled voice and Batool's soft elder hands immediately touched his head as she started to massage his temple."Here? Did you take a painkiller?" She asked while massaging his head. His smile broadened. "Ami? (Mom)?" He whispered."G mere bachay? (Yes, my son)?" His mother asked."I'm kidding. My head is fine." He grinned moving back and Batool glared at him.Grabbing his ear she twisted it. "Oww. Owww. Ami (mom)," He whined in pain like a kid as Batool scolded him for coming home late in the past few days.He explained to her about his deal with Mr. Waqas Siddiqui and how he was working on it. Though he was just an investor, he couldn't stop himself from participating in a
