"Where is your sidekick? I haven't seen her today" Mohsin asked Nisha sipping his coffee while looking at her lovingly with a smile on his face. Listening to his voice, Nisha looked at him from her peripheral vision cooking the dinner.

"She went to her employee's party" Nisha replied sprinkling the salt on the potato and tasting it. After checking the dish, She turned towards him giving her undivided attention.

"Shall we dine out and watch a new movie?" Mohsin asked earnestly, keeping his cup aside checking his mobile to book tickets for a new movie.

"Won't Asma feel sad that we had a nice time?" Nisha replied worriedly thinking of Asma. She knew Asma will not talk to them if she came to know how they watched a movie without her. Keeping his phone aside, he looked at her intently. Slowly he walked towards her checking the hall to avoid any encounters with their parents. He stopped when he was an inch away from her, cornering her to the wall.

"Don't bring Asma to our room with you on our first night of marriage" Mohsin replied playing with her hoop earrings giving her goosebumps. Slowly his hand travelled to her cheek. She closed her eyes intimidated by his proximity and her hand clutched her dupatta. Pecking her cheek lovingly, He moved back before informing her to get ready for the movie.

"How are you, Sir?" Asma asked looking at him, keeping her voice crisp and clear. Her voice may not be wavering but her eyes were unable to portray the confidence.

"Good. How are you Asma?" He asked huskily looking at his surroundings checking whether someone is watching them. After making sure, he pulled her towards a secluded corner of the house as he had spent many vacations in the penthouse along with his friend. His friend's penthouse has a bedroom for him separately as they loved to spend their childhood in it.

"Absolutely Fine" Asma replied not looking at him aware of her feelings how she can melt like butter if he talks lovingly with her even for a minute. He still has that effect on her.

"You are averting your gaze" Adil complained, his voice heavy with emotions. Holding her hand in his, he gave a squeeze looking at her. Asma looked at him cautiously challenging him with her
gaze.

Meri Aankhon Mein Jo Khoon Utara Hai,
Tere Ishq Ka Junoon Charha Hai.

Where is your Wife, Sir?" She asked him, holding his gaze mentally preparing to receive another blow on her heart. Her heart was crushed into pieces already but she wants to break her conscious too which always create beautiful illusions with Him.

A burst of heavy painful laughter escaped from his lips mixed with few tears. He laughed at the irony of his situation. Asma was unable to understand why he was laughing like a maniac.

"No. But the girl I love is here, Wish me luck that She accepts my proposal" He replied gazing at her, holding his breath praying that she shouldn't be committed. Hearing his reply, the earth slipped from Asma's feet. She felt dizzy and suffocated. She was prepared for the outcome but hearing it from him directly butchered her.

Lafz Ishaare Kareinge Jaane Ka,
Par tum aankhen padke ruk jaana.

Looking at her condition, he squeezed his hand with her, interlocking his fingers with her.Feeling the warmth she took a few deep breaths controlling her anxiety. Wiping her tears with his thumb, he pecked her forehead lovingly making her freeze.

"You still love me" Adil exclaimed feeling happy and was on cloud nine enjoying the effect he still has on her. His heart wept out of immense joy, he wasn't able to control his glee. Asma pushed him away from her shocking him. She looked at him with disgust. Remembering his earlier words, she tried to hate him. How can he kiss her when he is in love with another girl? Wiping her tears furiously she tried to escape from him but his strong hands captured her again.

"Sir, Stay in your limits. What will the girl think of you if she saw us?" She asked pushing him again away from her while he took a few seconds processing her words. A smile escaped from his lips listening to her accusations.

"Let's get married Asma" He replied standing two steps away from her, giving her enough space to think and not to feel intimidated by his presence. Before he can proceed further he heard her voice which halts his words.

"Marriage? What will the girl think? Are you cheating on her?" She shouted holding his collar thinking of his audacity. He may be the person whom she loved unconditionally but she has self respect and she didn't want to snatch anyone's love. She knew the pain. She was living that torment life.
