•||Ch10: What Just Happened||•

||Mishal POV||

I set the table with Rauza and other two ladies, Fozia and Faiza, who came with amma bi, for dinner when amma bi entered in the dining hall and sat on the head chair with her signature smirk. By the look on amma bi's face, anyone could predict she was up to something.

"Mishal, come and sit here!" Amma bi ordered me, softly.

Rauza took the plates from my hands and I sat on the right side of amma bi. On the same time, Zayaan entered in the dining hall and was on the left side of amma bi.

"You are not sitting here, Zayaan. Go and sit beside your wife," Amma bi ordered him, strictly.

Zayaan looked at her and narrowed his eyes at her but amma bi gave him both innocent and stern look on same time. He stood up slowly and sat beside me. When he sat beside me, I heard him hissing in pain quietly but loud enough for me to hear. I turned to look at him but he kept his face straight.

Rauza served everyone on the table. Amma bi made sure to fill my plates with everything. I was about to start eating but amma bi stopped me.

"No, you are not eating yourself!" Amma bi said pointing his finger at me then she turned to Zayaan, "Where are your manners? Why are you not feeding your wife with your hands?"

Zayaan looked at amma bi and opened his mouth but amma bi gave him not-to-deny-or-else look. I looked down with slightly red cheeks.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Don't waste your time and feed her. She and your baby must be very hungry," Amma bi told him and I noticed on the mention of your baby, he gripped the spoon tightly.

I felt myself hurt and protective over my baby. I put my hand gently on my small baby bump but, nonetheless, I hid my pain expression with a small smile. Zayaan picked the spoon from my plate and fed me with his hands. I shyly ate in silence and amma bi was beaming at us.

After eating, Zayaan was the first one to left the table and went out of the dinning hall. Amma bi murmured something about teaching this boy a lesson. Amma bi put a hand on my hand and squeezed it.

"You know you can always make him pay," Amma bi said with a spark of mischievous in her eyes.

Oh no!

"He can't sleep on couch. His back hurts whenever he sleeps on couch. So if he ever. I am saying again. Ever not behave properly, make him sleep on the couch," She told me with a wink.

Oh my Allah!

What had I done. He was sleeping on the couch from past days and that explained why he was hissing in pain and looked more anger.

I looked at amma bi with wide eyes but quickly composed myself and thought of Zayaan.

"I must go and sleep. It's my sleeping time. And remember what I said today, in morning," Amma bi said.

I looked at her in confusion and thought what she told me. Sensing my confusion, she said with a wink,

"Wear something sexy to seduce my grandson."

"Amma bi!" I mumbled and looked away with red cheeks.

"What? I am just saying. It's all up to you. But you know what people say, children should listen their elders, whatever they say, it's always best for the kids. So you should listen me," She said, innocently.

Amma bi patted my head and stood up, and went out of the dinning hall like she said nothing to me. I was again left alone with the thought of Zayaan which made me guilty. Rauza along with Faiza and Fozia entered in the dinning hall and took all the plates and dishes to the kitchen, and I helped them cleaning the table.

I went back to Zayaan room which was also mine but I felt uncomfortable to admit it our. I entered inside the room and saw him sitting on the couch. I went to the drawer and took out an ointment, and walked towards Zayaan nervously. He looked at me then at my hands.

"Are you feeling pain?" He asked me in concern.

I shook my head and spoke,

"It's for you."

"I don't need it," He spoke, stubbornly.

I narrowed my eyes at him and knew that he would not listen me carefully. So, I did one thing which I thought was right. After gathering encourage, I pulled him up and to the bed, and he let me pull him. I pushed him to sit on the bed and I sat behind him.

He didn't complain or said anything. I put the ointment on my hand and rubbed my hands together. Nervously, I put my hands under his shirt and rubbed on his hard back and massaged it. First, his muscles became tensed but slowly they relaxed.

After massaging him, I quickly went to the washroom to wash my hands, without looking or glancing at Zayaan. I changed into more comfortable clothes and went to room. I stopped on my place when I saw him again on couch.

"You can't sleep on the couch," I told him looking away from him.

"Why?" He asked me.

"Your back will start hurt again," I answered.

"So?"

I finally looked at him and saw him staring at me with his heated gaze which was making me nervous and feeling giddy from inside. He stood up slowly and step towards me which made me step backward unconsciously.

"An-and I don't want it hu-hurt again. The bed is large enough. You can take one side and I can take other side," I told him, quickly, straight to the point and quickly walked to the bed.

I put the pillows between the bed, making a pillow wall. I froze when I felt his presence behind me which made my heart hammering loudly but I didn't turn around to look at him.

"And why do you care?" He asked.

"Honestly, I don't know. But I think after what you did for me, it's least I can do. Religiously and lawfully, we both are husband and wife and I don't think it is crime to share a bed after marriage," I whispered looking down at the pillow wall.

"Are you sure you will be comfortable?" He asked after few moments later.

I hummed and put the last the pillow on the pillow wall. I felt him moved from behind me and laid on the one side of the bed and I laid on the other side of the bed.

• • •

I woke to an empty bed but heard the sounds of things shuffling around from the closet and Zayaan's cold voice.

".....I want you to check on the basement again and make him something to eat before I surprise him with my visit. Also, told Yamin to go Multan and overlook that area again. I want to confirm if he is the one who caused it..."

Multan? This name was enough for me to shudder in fear. It was the same city where I and Zayaan first met or so you could say, he found me there and helped me. The city where the terrible incident happened and left scares and nightmares.

I made the bed quickly and went to the washroom and freshened up. I went to closet and saw it empty. I quickly changed my clothes and went down to the dinning hall where amma bi was sitting alone.

"Sorry. I'm late!" I said after greeting her.

"It's completely fine, my child," She told me with a smile.

I sat on her left side and served breakfast to both of us. I looked around for Zayaan and amma bi saw me looking at the entrance, she told me,

"Zayaan left for some work without breakfast."

I nodded my head then started eating with my mind drifted off towards the talks which Zayaan was having on his phone.

"So, you did it?" Amma bi asked snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Huh?" I looked at her in confusion.

"Don't be shy. I want you to be wild with me just like when you are wild in my Zayaan's bed," She said, innocently.

I coughed badly and tried to the swallowed the bite which was in my mouth but it was impossible. My face heated up and my eyes filled with water. Amma bi patted my back and made me drink water. Finally, the bite was swallowed. I gasped for air and looked up at the ceiling.

Oh Allah! Please help me!

"Are you fine?" Amma bi asked, innocently.

I didn't know how she behaved and talked so innocent after talking so, so and so boldly which made the other person to dig his or her own grave in embarrassment.

"Ye-yes!" I answered and felt my heart hammering loud enough for me to hear.

"OK. If you say so," She said with a nod.

Thanks to Allah, she didn't speak more and quietly finished breakfast because I wasn't planning to embarrass more.

After breakfast, I and amma bi saw in the lawn and she made me rest my feet on the pillow, on the table. She was telling me about her deceased husband and stories of Zayaan.

"Zayaan and Rayaan were both inseparable and always loved each other to the death. They both loved to confuse everyone because they both were literally same. They fooled around everyone but never me," She said with a smile and distanced look.

"Rayaan?" I asked in confusion.

"Rayaan and Zayaan both were twins. Both were opposite of each other. Rayaan was innocent, fun of fun, rebellious and pranksters. He was never serious in his life except for his Aabro. Whereas, Zayaan was always serious, reserved but always have smile, responsible and mature but carefree. One night, one accident was enough for separating them from each other. After that accident, Zayaan became more serious and distant himself from everyone. Zayaan took Rayaan's death more serious to his heart than us. As Rayaan vanished from our life, Zayaan's smile also vanished and he is no longer a carefree person."

After she told me about it, we both sat in silence. The Zayaan she told me was not a Zayaan which I knew and was living with. Because the Zayaan which I knew, always had guards up around him and always looked over his shoulder. Never once, he let his guards down.

"When Zayaan was a kid maybe 6 or 7, he asked me how the baby born. I just told him when the sperms met with eggs inside a female, so the baby born. But I never knew, he would go to his parents and asked them in a gathering, is dad's sperm still inside you, mom? My God! Everyone's reaction was hilarious. Everyone looked at Zayaan like he was from another planet," Amma bi told me with a laugh while I tried my best not to laugh but ended up laughing.

"Then Rayaan pointed at the pregnant woman there and asked loudly, did you swallow a kid or is it a sperm inside you? I was dead at that time. I will never forget the looks which our whole family received from the people," She told me further about it and this was how we spent our day.

The sun was started setting when amma bi took me to Zayaan's room with Fozia and Faiza behind us. I silently followed her when we reached his room, she pushed me in the washroom.

"Amma bi--,"

"Go, take a shower and shave yourself, means private parts. If you don't do it then I will do it myself," Amma bi ordered me in her stern tone and gave me not-to-deny-or-mess-with-me look.

I pressed my lips together and reluctantly entered in the washroom. Just as I was closing the door behind me, she was instructed Faiza and Fozia,

"Go to her closet and find a beautiful dress to wear!"

I didn't what this lady up to but all I prayed or wished was good luck to myself. I did what she told me. I grabbed the white fluffy robe and wore it. I exited from the washroom and saw amma bi staring down at three dress. She looked up at me and ordered me to sit on the bed. I obliged and sat down because I didn't want myself to face her evil side. She ordered Fozia to do my hair done and Faiza to do my makeup, and Rauza to do my nails done.

"Amma bi--," I started but she cut me.

"Do you want to face my fearful side?" She asked me while giving me her evil look.

I shut my mouth and shook my head which made her grin. What felt like hours when they all done, then amma bi handed me a dress with a pair of undergarments, which were see through and it didn't hide much of my private parts.

"Amma bi!" I gasped with red cheeks and looked at her with wide eyes.

"I knew it, you will like it. Now, go. Shu.. and wear it," She said clapping her hands and pushed me in the washroom, gently.

I eyed the sorry excuse of the pair of undergarments and reluctantly wore them. I also wore my dress and looked in the mirror. I was looking beautiful, they all really did a good job.

I set my dupatta on my shoulder and exited from the washroom to the room where amma bi was whispering something to the three of them with her mischievous smirk.

Now, I really wish myself good luck! Oh Allah! Please help me from whatever she is planning!

They all stopped whispering when they noticed my presence in the room. Amma bi looked at me from top to bottom then nodded her head in approval with a satisfied smile.

"Now, let's go!" She said in excitement.

"To where, amma bi?" I asked her as she started walking out of my room.

"Oh! You will see!" She said with a smirk.

I looked at the other three ladies but they all looked away from me with a matching mischievous grin like amma bi. Amma bi took me out of the house and handed me shawl then turned to driver.

"Take her where I told you!" Amma bi ordered the driver in her firm and dominating voice.

Amma bi didn't let me ask her questions as she quickly draped the shawl around me and gently pushed me inside the car. Driver climbed inside the car and headed to Lord's know where. I didn't notice when the car because I was thinking about what amma bi was up to this time.

"Ma'am, we reached to your destination!" Driver told me as he opened my door.

"Where are we?" I asked him as I climbed out of the car and looked at the building which was screaming danger and had guards all around it.

"One of sir's warehouse!" He answered and closed the door.

"I think we should go back to home!" I whispered and turned to car.

"I'm sorry, ma'am. If you don't go inside then I have to call amma bi. Believe me, that old lady becomes very dangerous when your name enters on her hate list," He said and motioned me to follow him while I stared at him and blinked severely times.

"Amma bi ordered me if you want to go back home, you can but I will not escort you back. You have to go alone. Just remember we are far away from the house," He told me, "And she said if I have to threaten you with my gun to go inside then I can but I don't want Zayaan sir to kill me mercilessly," He added showing me his gun.

I gasped at him and looked around the area. I didn't know where this warehouse was located because it was surrounded by many trees. I pulled my shawl around tightly and held it in my fists. Reluctantly, I followed him inside and let him led the way. Everyone inside the building stared at me then bowed their heads in respect. It was all uncomfortable for me and I quickly looked down. Upon reaching to a door, he opened it and I stepped inside the room and let my eyes roomed around.

It was an office with a few pictures of Zayaan, his brother, his father and grandfather hanging on the wall, the walls were blackish grey, there was black desk in front of a large window with a grey chair behind it and two grey and back sofa type chairs in front of it. There was also many books shelves on the two side of the walls, obviously it had black colour. The man was seriously obsessed with black and grey colour.

"Have a seat, ma'am! Sir will be here soon!" He said motioning me to sit on the couch which was in corner against the wall.

I sat on the couch and looked at the picture which was on a desk but the back of frame was facing me. The driver whose name I didn't know went out of the room, leaving me alone. I stood up and went to the desk to look at the picture as curiosity got the best of me. I looked at the picture and gasped in shocked and surprised. It was my picture and it was taken before I met him. I was sitting on the bench outside the school where I used to work as a teacher.

My brain went blank as I stared at the picture. I picked the picture and blinked to come back to reality. If he had this picture of mine before he entered in my life then it meant maybe he knew what happened that night with me and who was that person.

"I never knew my boss will finally fall in love with someone," —I startled by the voice and looked up from the picture and saw a man at the door holding a tray with a glass— "I know I am not the one to tell you this but he really loves you. He may not know how to express it but give him time to show you. He really need someone like you," He said handed me glass as I put the picture back on the table and sat back on the couch.

"How you can say when you don't know me?" I asked him because I doubt the last line.

"Believe me, I know you before you met sir," He answered which confused me.

"How--,"

I was cut off when the door opened Zayaan stepped inside and glared at the man before me. The man whose name I didn't know nodded at Zayaan and went out of the room. Zayaan looked at me with a sigh and ran his hand in his hairs. I looked at his other hand which had blood and knuckles were bruised.

"It's nothing!" He said when he noticed my eyes on his knuckles.

"But--,"

"Shh.. I said its nothing," He said, suddenly, coming in front of me and put his finger on my lips.

"Give me a minute. I'll be back!" He whispered, softly and kissed on my forehead before going to the side of the room where an other door was.

I was in shocked and dazed as I touched my forehead where he kissed me. Minutes later, he came back with his wrapped not-so-properly in handkerchief. I looked at his hand and walked to him to tied it properly. I opened it and wrapped it again properly.

After I wrapped his hand, he intertwined my hand with his uninjured hand and pulled me with him, gently. He took me out of his warehouse to his car and opened the door for me. I climbed inside and he also climbed inside on the driver seat and started the car.

We both sat in silence, no one of us spoke. I rolled down the window and put my head against it's frame. The cold and chill wind kissed my face and made my hairs flew a little from my shoulders. I closed my eyes and let the darkness took me.

I was shaken awake. I opened my eyes and looked around and saw Zayaan was front of me with my side door opened. He extended his hand for me and I put it silently. He helped me out of the car and closed the door behind me. I looked up and saw a restaurant in front of us. Zayaan took me inside and the hostess quickly took us to our table without asking our reservation.

Zayaan and I followed her silently to a private side. She took us to the back where were tress both side of a path, decorate with small bulbs and had small lamps on both sides of the path.

When the path ended, there were the flights of stairs which had small lanterns on right side. I gripped Zayaan's hand tightly in fear because I didn't know where she was leading us. Zayaan looked at me with a soft look when he saw me a little afraid and gave my hand a squeeze.

When we reached upstairs, the hostess led us to a room which had painting of trees on wall and the roof, and the lights hanging from the roof, small candles were on the floor and also on tree. There was a table in the middle with two chairs. I was in awe with everything.

"Have a good dinner date!" The hostess said and went away leaving me alone with Zayaan.

"I believe amma bi must have ordered them to do this," Zayaan whispered as he put a hand on my back and led me to the table.

He pulled a chair for me and I sat on it. He sat across me and looked at me while I looked around the room with a smile.

"I hope you aren't tried of amma bi. She is a little childish and sometimes behaved boldly," Zayaan said which made me look at him.

"Don't worry. I am tired of her. She is funny but sometimes she can make easily anyone embarrass," I said remembering amma bi and her talks.

"I know!" He said.

A waiter came for our order which made me look at Zayaan because I still couldn't order for myself. He ordered for me and himself. The waiter played a song in the background before going out of the room with our orders.

🎶Muskurane ki wajah tum ho
Gungunane ki wajah tum ho
Jiya jaaye na, jaaye na, jaaye na..
O re piya re..🎶

🎶You're the reason to smile.
You're the reason to hum.
I can't live, can't live, Can't live (without you),
O beloved.🎶

"Dance?" Zayaan asked extending his hand to me as the song played which surprised me when I didn't answer he retreated his hand back and mumbled, "Nevermind!"

"Sure!" I whispered looking at him with smile.

Zayaan stood up and held his hand for me and I put my hand in his. He pulled me with him and wrapped his arms around my waist and I put my hands on his shoulders.

🎶O re lamhe, tu kahin mat ja,
Ho sake to, umr bhar tham ja,
Jiya jaaye na, jaaye na, jaaye na,
O re piya re..🎶

🎶O moment, don't go anywhere,
If possible, stay here for all life.
I can't live, can't live, Can't live (without you),
O beloved...🎶

I looked in his eyes and lost myself as we both danced slowly.

🎶Jo miley usmein kaat lenge hum
Thodi khushiyaan, thode aansoo
Baant lenge hum.🎶

🎶Whatever we get, we'll manage in that.
Some joys, some tears,
we'll divide between us.🎶

Zayaan slowly leaned down and placed his lips on mine softly. First, I was tensed and froze with wide eyes but my eyes slowly closed as his lips moved against mine and my lips moved with his in sync. The kiss was soft and slow but sent the fireflies in my body. We both slowly pulled away and I rest my head on his chest with heated face. After catching breath, I pulled away and looked at him with wide eyes which had fear.

Oh my Allah! This isn't supposed to happen. What if he gets mad at me?

"Whatever--," I started but he cut me.

"Happens is nothing to worry about," He said and the first time in my life I saw his lips curled up in a beautiful smile.

I stared at him in shyness and quickly looked away with a shy smile. He took me back to the table and few moments later the waiter came with our orders. We both ate our dinner in comfortable silence.

After dinner, we went out of the restaurant with our hands intertwined. He opened the door of the car for me and I climbed inside. He also climbed inside and started the car. He intertwined our hands again and put it on his lap. I didn't know what just happened out of sudden but I didn't want it to stop.

When we reached home, amma bi was sitting in the living hall chatting with Faiza. When they felt our presence, they quickly stopped talking and amma bi's eyes fell on our intertwined hands which made her grin like a kid who got what he or she wanted.

"So, how's your dinner date?" Amma bi asked with a smirk.

I blushed remembering the kiss which we shared. Amma bi squealed looking at me and smiled looking at us.

"Don't answer because the blush on her face and the smile on his face is telling me everything," Amma bi said.

Zayaan and I walked towards amma bi when out of nowhere Fozia came with a glass of juice and it spilled over my shirt. Fozia apologized me but I waved it off with a smile because it was an accident.

"Go and wash it, it will leave a stain," Amma bi told me.

I looked at her and felt something wrong with amma bi because her eyes were shinning. Nonetheless, I nodded my head and went towards Zayaan's room.

"What are you doing here. Go, she might need your help!" I heard amma bi ordered Zayaan.

He came behind me to his room. When we both entered inside, we heard the door locked from outside. I quickly looked up at Zayaan with wide eyes then we both looked at door in shocked.

What just happened?
