"Shall I show you."

He said and grabbing my nape pulled me to him that my body clashed into his hard one making me gasp. His playful eyes travelled down from my eyes to my lips. I shut my eyes tightly as his head suddenly swooped down just enough for his lips to brush slightly. I stopped breathing and my heart was pounding.

Finally, he placed his lips on mine with passion evident like I had never felt before. There was no way I could give in, but the warmth and passion was making resisting quite hard for me.
I opened my eyes to see his satisfied smile.

"Now that's the difference between a kiss and a peck." He said.

I found my breath again as I struggled for oxygen because of holding my breath for soo long.

"Go with Taha.... he'll be with you the whole time. Come back when I call you." He ordered

"I don't...have a phone." I mumbled.

"Taha will hand you your new one. Now go before I change my mind."

I quickly turned to my heels.

∆∆∆∆
Taha handed me the box. It was an iPhone. He can even afford that huh?
I sat in the car looking out of the window. No matter how much I try to deny and say that it was all for Uzair, but the truth is....that bastard owned that kiss.

I finally met my parents and tears of joy flooded all our eyes. They worriedly asked me about my life and as I didn't wanted to worry them anymore so I somehow managed to convince them that I was happy with my husband. It was hard to convince them but they helplessly had to agree with me. After a couple hours, my new phone rang as the Devil called and Taha very humbly asked me to come back with him. The duality of this guy is very fascinating. At one moment he's the most gentle brother like guy who every can adore and the next moment he's an angry, ruthless Mafia with hell fire raging in his eyes that can even paralyze you.

I couldn't sleep all night so I wrapped the soft big blanket around me and went to the lawn for a walk in the cold breeze. A lot was going on inside my head.
I looked up at the starry sky above and a smile found my lips. Just then I found a figure laying on the grass. There wasn't much light so I couldn't recognise the person.

I was a little scared because as I looked around, there was no one. A couple of times I almost turned around to leave but I just couldn't. I cursed myself for my bloody curiosity as I walked towards the figure.

My eyes widened to find it to be RUZHAAN.
'What the hell is he doing here? It's freezing outside and he's just laying on the cold grass without even a blanket?'

"Oye!" I said but he didn't budge. He was soo fast asleep.

"Hey....suno (listen)." No response.

Suddenly, his peaceful expression changed and he was squirming in his sleep as if he was in a middle of a nightmare.... seemingly in pain.

"No! No.... please stop....it...it hurts...Dont..." He was mumbling almost sobbing. I don't know why I felt worried. I should be happy seeing him like that right? But my humanity didn't allow me. I knew I was going to regret this later but...still, I sat down beside him.

"Hey....wake up. It's just a dream." I said shaking him. His eyes slightly opened but then, he didn't wake up. Instead he grabbed both my arms and pulled me over himself. I squealed but he hugged me tightly.

"Don't go.... please... please.... don't leave....me...." He was sobbing in his sleep. As I lifted my head I saw a lone tear running down the corner of his eye. My heart ached seeing that and .... I sighed giving up. I felt soo sorry for him that I opened my blanket and wrapped him in it with me. He was shivering soo badly...

∆∆∆∆
"Ahem! Are you 2 just going to keep sleeping here like that? The men will be arriving here soon you know."

I heard someone say in my sleep. Tsk! Who's it that's ruining my sleep like that. I flickered my eyes open and my grogginess flew away to the open sky and I almost got a mini heartattack when I realised I was sleeping on top of Him!

"Aaaaaaaa..." I screamed shooting off of him and turned away hastily wrapping my blanket around me tight.

Third person POV,
Taha was biting his lip trying to suppress his laughter. Ruzhaan too stood up embarrassed, clearing his throat and dusting off his clothes.
"Did you sleep well?"
Taha asked mockingly to receive a glare from Ruzhaan as Rahina ran to her room.

It's been more than a month since I'm living here but I haven't tasted homemade food all this time. It's all hotel food and snacks and I was really tired of it all. So I decided to cook today.

I went to the kitchen and went through all the storage containers and boxes. Empty! I opened the fridge....just water and week old food in the farthest corner whose smell was making me want to puke.

"What are you doing?" it was Taha.

"There is no grocery or anything in this kitchen. Is there even a cylinder under the stove or it's just for show?"
I asked.

He grinned.
"No it's not for show. There is a filled cylinder. As for groceries, this is a house full of bachelors. We only know to use daggers and guns, not knives and saucepans." He shrugged.

I facepalmed.
"Well, there's a woman in this house now. The kitchen shouldn't be soo empty. There aren't any utensils in this house either. I can't even boil water." I scowled.

"Ok then, why don't you go shopping for all that with Ruzhaan."
I felt a chill running down my spine.

"With him?"

"Sure....go get everything you want. He's your husband after all...."

His phone rang suddenly and he went out leaving me thinking. Asking him to go shopping with me huh?
No way!
He'll again ask for his payment. I touched my lips unconsciously. After that kiss ... there's no way I'm even standing in the same place as him.

∆∆∆∆
For the next 2 days again I had to eat that stupid hotel food. Should I really ask him? But I didn't feel like going out either. I felt soo moody and irritated. After a few hours I found out that .... I'd gotten my periods.

I wanted to cry now. I was in a house full of men and I didn't even had pads with me. Oh God! What do I do?! I can't even ask anyone. Even the maid is on leave. It's soooo embarrassing. Should I use a cloth for the time being? But I've never done so. What if it leaks....even bigger problem!
Ow! I'm getting cramps too and there isn't even a hot bag.

I was sitting in the bathroom busy with all my thoughts, when...there was a knock at the door.

"Are you planning on sleeping there all day? It's been more than an hour. Get out!" It was the Devil yelling.

"I... I can't...." I said meekly.

"What? I can't hear you?" Get the hell out! Rahina!" He banged the door as if ready to break it.

"I said I can't." I cried out

"Why? A ghost caught you?"

"Because.... I don't have that!"

"What? Brains... commonsense? I already know that."

I rolled my eyes then sighed frustrated. How should I explain it to him. Ugh!!!
"No! Tha....that....I can't come out! My clothes will...all be stained." I said flustered.

"What do you want? Be more specific you idiot!" He scolded.

"Aree....tsk... I've.... I've got my... that..."

"What?"

"L.... ladies problem." I finally said.

He suddenly fell silent. Did he leave?

"So...uh....you want those right....um...pads?

I blushed. Although, he sounded more embarrassed than me. It was cute though.

"Y... yes."

"Where do I get it from?"

Will he really go and get it for me?

"Uhm....in any pharmacy or supermarket." I said meekly.

"Can't you come and get it with me?"

"No...my clothes will be stained and... I don't even have much innerwear." I blurted out.

Shit! This is soo awkward. Why did I get stuck in a situation like this?! I have to tell him everything.

"Tsk! Fine then....just wait there. I'll be back." He said and I heard his footsteps leaving.

After about half an hour, he knocked the door.
"Oye! I'm leaving it on the bed and I'm closing the door so you can come out." He informed.

After a few minutes when I was assured he left, I came out and my jaw dropped on the floor to find a big bag full of packets. Almost each and every brand available in the market was present here.
Did he buy the whole store or did he threatened the salesman at gunpoint so they gave him everything?

Although....it was really considerate of him.

∆∆∆∆
I came out and found him talking on the phone. I should thank him right?

I cleared my throat to get his attention.

"Baad mei baat karta hu. (I'll talk to you later.)" He said and hung up turning to me.

"Um... thanks for helping me." I said flustered.

"Hm."

"Ok." I said and turned to leave.

"Agar teri tabyat theek ho toh mujhe bol dena. Jaakar tere wo ....kapde r....kuch cheeze le ayenge. R ha, kitchen mei hot bag hai. Chahiye toh le."
(If you feel better then tell me. We'll go and get those....clothes of yours and few other things. And yeah, there's a hot bag in the kitchen. Take it if you want.)
He said and I nodded smiling. He blinked at me seemingly flustered.

Wow! That's new.

He almost immediately turned and left.

I laid on the bed with the hot bag on my stomach. Ah! That felt good.
I sighed. He really is considerate when it comes to these things. There is some humanity in him.

Then...the times when he threatened my family, kidnapped me, hurted Uzair, married me, all flashed through my eyes.
But then that night.... when he looked soo vulnerable and scared sleeping in the lawn, having a nightmare, the way he sobbed hugging me like a scared little child holding on to his mother...the way he kissed me that day....and now this!

What is this man?

Who is he?

Sometimes he's a heartless Mafia leader who can even shoot his own Brother and sometimes he's just a lonely man....and sometimes he's a considerate gentleman who, keeping his pride aside went as far as to buy me sanitary pads.

He had soo many personalities....

What should I believe in?

Who should I trust?

Can I even trust him?

Why do you confuse me soo much Ruzhaan?!
