"mommy i only took one and he took that too ."she said softly .

"ok kids don,t cry and go to garden and play we would call you for breakfast lucy would you please."

"how come my grandson become this lucky to have such a decent and respectable girl as his wife becuase i am sure he haven,t done something that nice in his life to deserve you " he said i looked towrds him bewildered.

"enough aftab sahab no more interviewing she is your grand son choice , and you guys stop with your angry looks and tense situation. you guys are scaring her " she said with loving manner.

"oh mashallah you are so beautiful she said and hugged me but beta whats this you are not wearing any jewellery or makeup is this how new bride walk around ha " and it was it for me and my tears started falling out .

"that you threatnend a girl and made her marry you ha , how would you feel if the some thing happen to hafsa if somesone threantend her and take her ha " he said and pushed his hand away.

"that was the reason i took my granddaughters away with me to duabi after your father second marrige" .

" i ... i .." xavier wanted to say something but grandpa stopped him .

"tell me one think zayn do you love her "he asked him so directly i was shocked

"zayn i am asking you something do you love her or not " he said again .

xavier or should i say zayn looked towrds me and starred in my eyes .

"more than my self dada abu " he said not hesitating a bit .

i was stirring at him shocked but grand pa voice brought both of us back to earth ." fine then we don,tdo marriages like this in our culture without. elders. , " i don,t know what he meant .

"justin come here now " he semi yelled towrds justin who was standing a little far away .

"you call dubai mension and tell them to clean everything and prepare everything for a marriage of aftab khan grandson because he is going to get married at the end of this month . "

me and xavier were looking shocked towards him and justin after listening to him run away like a baby he was so scared .

" call her parents and arrnage their fligts for dubai i want to apologize to them for your doing and also wanted to invite to their daugther wedding ."

"larib beta you will get a respectable wedding like every girl dream of " he said and i could not control my tears and hugged dada jan he hugged me back and calmed me .

xavier got up and went away .

"lets go beta have breakfast now comeone don,t cry " .

Well i came to know alot of things about my husband from his family , like when he was 6 years old his mother passed away after giving birth to his younger sister and his father had already married a women but they came to know about it after his mother death but his mother already knew about it . When dada jan find out he was angry because she was not from our country and non muslim , his father wanted to leave the house and he also wanted to took his kids well only his son not daughter so they were left with dada jan ,he could not meet them when he was kid but when he grew up. he would go and meet them .

After that they all will come after 3 months here to meet him as he now lived alone .

But one thing i came to know is that they don,t have any idea about xavisr being a king of mafia , he owns a multinational company  and as he is ceo of it that is what only busnisness he does.

I tried to enjoy with them , i talk with them , we ate but xavier was no where to be found. i was waiting for him on lunch , on dinner , i tried to call him because dada said ..yeah i didn,t had number but i knew the gurads have so i told them without the family knowing about it .

but he was not picking it up .i come to know he loves his dada alot and he was upset because dada was upset .

i now prayed my nafal prayer for his saftey. and folded the mat "where are you xavier its  mid  night. Ya Allah please keep him safe and bring him home safely . please i beg of you "

"don,t beg for me from anyone no one can hurt  me until and unless i want it " i turned around and saw him standing in the door in jeans and shirt and his eyes were puffy like he has been. crying.

he closed the door behind him and entered inside and directly went to washroom i didn,t even get the chance to ask him where he was.

i went downstrias and brought hot milk with some bread for him because i know he didn,t ate anything .

when i came back he was freshly showered and was not wearing his shirt and was standing like that in the balcony " uff is he out of his mind " i took the jumper with me and  went 8 him .

i nudged him and held the jumper infront so he get my message but he was just looking at me .

"put it on its cold and you took shower ,you will get flue . "he  didn,t took it .

i put tray on the table near by and gave him the jumper again " i don,t feel cold , you know why because that one thing in my body which make me deel it , is already cold so it does not matter.

i sighed and went near him and held his hands and made him wear the jumper, all time he was looking at me stunt " no one,s heart is cold but the world make them like that and if what you say is true then " i pulled the zip up and closed it and looked in his eyes.

"you would have not felt the hurt of dada slap and his tears . so mr zayn this thing . " i put my finger on his chest where is his heart .

"is not cold it still work perfectly all you need to see is how to make it more better . " he was looking at me like he was not understanding what i was saying but i know he was understanding it very clearly . i step back from him .

"here take this milk and bread i know you haven,t eaten anything don,t sleep on empty stomach .its bad for health. finsh it and come inside its very late .

i said and started moving inside when he held my hand . i looked back at him their was tears in his eyes. " i am sorry for what i did to you but i love you and i did not knew what should i do to get you their was no right and wrong for me . i ..... am sorry."

i turned towrds him and held his hand in mine " you accepting what you did was wrong, is enough for me " i put my hand on his cheeks and wipe his tears from his face "these tears speak the truth and..... forgiving , if Allah forgive us for the sins we do than who i am that i would not forgive you. i am happy that you accepted that you did wrong but now don,t think about it because Allah gave you the chance to make everything right so do it right this time . now stop with crying it does not suite you my king what will people think that their king crys " i said and smiled he also smiled on my teasing .

"thanks alot and don,t call me king i hate this word alot so please. ....but don,t tell anyone " he said to me

"i won,t i will pray to allah that you inshallah come back on the right path for you , for dada jan ,for your sisters and .. for our future. now i am sleeping because i have to wake up for prayer. good night .

"good night love " for the first time listening love for me, from him made me happy really happy . i know one thing that i had accepted him as my husband now i only pray that i fall for him. too.
