Zenish

"Get ready we have a lunch to attend, we leave in an hour" I was snapped out of my conversation with mom, I turn around to see my husband ready on his usual suit. I glared him

If you think after that apology, something between us changed then it is a big no. We still fight, argue, disagree with each other. The only thing is he doesn't threaten me like always.

"Zenish" I was snapped out of my thoughts

No I won't go with you today

Onwards that day Shayaan is taking me out like everyday, now you must be confused why I am complaining I should be excited and happy, he is taking me out but no he takes me out so he can attend his boring meetings and what I do well I sit in the corner while my husband attend his 'meetings'

If you think I haven't protested so you're wrong I did but it back fired me his exact words were

"You like to explore London didn't you told the same to mom now endure it with me we have to go like this because of you"

We act like we're going like a couple exploring and return as if we had fun to put up our act. But in reality I get bored sitting in a restaurant all alone

"Can't I just stay home today with mom I have plans with her" I make the best puppy face, praying it might work on him.

"No we can't one of our business partner and dad friend invited is on lunch I have to show up with my wife, so you are going" he didn't left any room for argument

"But what about my plans with mom?" I asked trying once again

"Oh honey it's okay you both go we will see any other time ok" I saw mom disappointed face

She really was excited when I said I want my day with her, she made plans and called it mother daughter outing but now..

"See mom is ok"

"But we are leaving tomorrow to Pakistan I won't be able to spent time with mom"

"You can spent ur whole morning Tomorrow with mom, we will be leaving in evening remember" I wanted to argue but his gaze hardened almost challenging to me argue more. I sighed and said "fine" with that he left

"Mom i am so sorry I didn't know about today's lunch" I apologized

"Oh comon! Don't feel guilty as far as our outing concern we will have it some other time now go and get ready before your husband get angry" she consoled me

******

"Why would you do that you know how boring it get sitting in restaurant at the corner and waiting for your meeting to finish" I marched in our room

"There is no meeting today Zenish I told you we have a lunch to attend, Dad's friend uncle Bashir invited us" he explained holding his cellphone and typing something

I got ready in my navy blue salwar kameez and did a little make up. My thoughts went to the day when I caught Rayaan and Shayaan arguing more like fighting

"Stay the away from my wife Rayaan, I am warning you last time don't you dare involve her in your sick games" Shayaan said. I could sense anger in his tone

"Damn that little wife of your actually loyal now that is not expected from a gold digger" as soon he uttered those words I saw Shayaan grabbing his collar and pinned to the wall.

"Mind your language RAYAAN"

"What it isn't true? She married you  cause her father owe you money and to save her family she presented herself to you. But wait that doesn't make her a gold digger, she presented you herself, do you know what those type of girls are named" he sadistically chuckled. I close my eyes

Never in my life I felt so humiliated, my eyes watered

"Those type of girl are called..." I covered my ears but then I heard a loud smack. My eyes opened at that, Rayaan was holding his jaw

His eyes caught mine, his grin grew even more

"Look who is being entertained by the scene, if it isn't my sister in law" Shayaan turned and his green orbs met mine, his rage filled eyes softened a bit.

"Did you like the scene sister in law" Rayaan asked. His eyes were filled with so anger and hate.

"So much hate will destroy you" the words slipped out from my mouth. Rayaan chuckled on hearing

"Hate will destroy me" he laughed "the people I once loved and trusted destroyed me Zenish. Love has destroyed me" he sounded broke for a moment

"But now my hate will destroy everyone" his change of tone scared me "I gave you a chance but you chose him so now suffer" his eyes once again held an intense hate, with that he left.

Thanks to Allah mom n dad weren't home

I saw Shayaan walking towards the garden. The darkness of night concealed his expression he sat on the bench quietly. I felt pity on him, I contemplated to go and comfort him but then again if he snapped at me and asked me to leave. I debated myself for a min and went towards him

I sat quietly near him, neither him nor me said a word. I couldn't finds words to comfort him. The silence felt relaxing for the first time. I saw his hand on his thigh shaking, on impulse I placed my hand in his and held it tightly. I felt his hand tight on mine. I squeezed it a bit

A little light showed his defeated face to me, for the first time I saw him like that I blinked my eyes to assure him every thing will be OK. It was as if he understood what I was trying to say he nodded. We sat there for an hour and then we heard mom and dad came back.

From then he didn't talk to me unless it is important. He was avoiding me

"I am ready" he looked at me and nodded

"Why the sad face" he asked as we sat in the car

"Knowing how much I could enjoy with mom today but no now I am stuck with you and your business lunch, thank God you're not a tourist guide, everyone would die in the boredom"

"Or die from my handsomeness" I was startled after days of silent treatment he is talking I stared at him, he flashed his one of those arrogant smiles

"Uhu cocky aren't we"

"Can't help it" with he started the engine

"You're in a good mood" I said nonchalantly

"Over a month you got to know about my mood impressive" he said eying the road

"Well you don't have many mood despite being arrogantly angry, grumpy, Irritated and now you're talking freely after days of silence" he kept mum.

I mentally smacked myself, I always have something inappropriate to say on wrong time

"Well what got your mood good" I changed the topic

"I don't have meeting today" now that was shocking

A workaholic is happy on his holiday. Knowing my husband degree of his love for work. Am I dreaming? I stared him

"What you don't believe me" he questioned me

" You'r mood is good because of this" he nodded " what? I mean aren't you the type of business man for whom work is his first love or wife" I asked

"Are you trying to be funny" he said amusingly

"Isn't work every thing to you?" I asked

"Work is not everything to me Zenish it is important, I know when to prioritized things beside I also enjoy my life"

"Yeah right by attending some business lunch" I commented

"Last time it's not business lunch, uncle Bashir wanted to invite us and about my type of fun I will show how I enjoy my holiday"

"Hello Uncle" Shayaan greeted a man who looked old maybe in his late fifities. He frowned at him but hugged him

"Shayaan it's been long, I saw you last time" he smiled

"Assalm alaiqum uncle" the two men who forgot my presence turned towards me

"Walaiqum Assalm beta" he placed his hand on my head

"Uncle meet my wife Zenish and Zenish meet dad's friend and our business partner Bashir Iqbal" Shayaan introduced us

"You have a beautiful life partner here Shayaan" he patted his shoulder.

"How are you uncle?" Shayaan asked as we took our seats

"I have been good after Ashar has taken over life has been a bit boring" he looked so cute as a child, he was pouting, Shayaan chuckled

"So now you tell how's life treating you" uncle asked and looked at both of us

"It's been hectic I tell you uncle with the handling of company back at Pakistan, it was mess I reached their first" uncle chuckled as Shayaan was updating him

"Shayaan I was talking about your married life" he said that made him little embarrass

"You tell me Zenish" uncle turned to me

"Well.." I looked up to Shayaan who was staring at me "its on rough smooth road" I smiled

"Good well it won't be marriage if there isn't a rough road between" he said "but don't let rough road be prolonged" he smiled and we nodded

Waiter served us our lunch, we talked alot. Uncle Bashir was actually jolly type of person, I got to know he has a son and his wife passed away seven years ago. I laugh when he told me some embarrassing moment of Shayaan and Rayaan. At his mention I saw a longing in Shayaan's eyes but he covered up instantly

"It was really nice seeing you both" uncle hugged Shayaan and placed his hand on my head

"Allah bless you with happiness in future" he smiled warmly

"Thank you it was nice seeing you too" I said "when you visit Pakistan, do visit us" I added

"Sure" we said our goodbyes. We walked out of the restaurant. I felt a grip on my hand to which I turn and saw my husband standing close he leaned near my ear

"So how about I show you how I do fun" I heard him whisper, he was standing too close to me that made me breath heavily but I composed myself

"Sure let's see how you do the fun" I narrowed my eyes while he smirked
