AREESHA'S POV:

I was standing on the last step; when I looked up only to meet with furious gray ones, making my heart beat fast. He abruptly stood up and marched to me, "Where the hell were you? I have been waiting for last twenty minutes, I have wind up my work early just to be here on time and here you are being lazy, next time be punctual," he uttered angrily, "Okay,"I replied not bothering to give any kind of explanation to him , I think it will be useless to say anything to him, but why he is reacting like, he is doing me some kind of favor by taking me to this designer, I haven't ask for this its all his choice, I thought and slowly trail behind him, who as standing wit his driver near his silver Mercedes Benz, "Don't you have any better clothes?" he asked eyeing me up and down, I looked at him confused, "What's wrong with these?" I asked, "Why do you always wear worn out clothes, I guess you must have much more better outfits in your closet after all your father was a good business man before he got bankrupt," he said casually sliding in the driver seat, motioning his driver to leave, I sighed before getting in the car, "I don't like to go for shopping," I stated, he chuckled, "Yeah right!," he said when his cell phone rings up, he changed the gear with one hand and received his incoming call, talking all his business about some kind of new clients and projects, first I listened to his conversation but got bored, so I looked out of the window focusing my gaze to the clear sky, today was a good weather, I looked up into the sky and remember the days when I used to go to the park with mama and baba when I was seven, baba used to teach me how to ride bicycle, he teach me how to fly a kite, we both used to do roller-skating and mama watched us sitting under the three with picnic basket, with a beautiful smile on her lips, those were the heavenly days of my life, I wish Adil could also get better childhood, that's when I realize I didn't meet Adil before leaving, he must be anxious, this the first time I let him stay alone in the house, but I guess I can trust Alex after we made our deal, I looked at Maaz, who was now silently driving, listening to the music,

"Umm... Can I have your cell phone?" I asked, a bit fearful with his mood swings, he looked at me for a second before asking the usual question I was expecting, "Why? Don't you have your own?" he asked, "I don't have cell phone and I want to talk to Adil," I replied honestly, "let me guess you don't like to use cell phones also right?" he said playfully and tossed his phone on my lap, "Go ahead," he said and increased the volume of the music, I picked up his cell phone and dialed landline number, on the fourth bell, call was received and I heard uncle's voice, "Who is it?" he asked when I didn't respond, I cleared my throat, "It's me Areesha, I just wanted to talk to Adil, can you please call him?" I said in a low voice, "For the god's sake Areesha, you are with Maaz right now, forget Adil and concentrate on him, don't mess up, and try to buy as much expensive things as you can, we can use them later, and don't call again," he blurted out, I could feel my anger rising up on his thinking, how low he would go for just the sake of money? It is really disgusting.

"Uncle please call Adil, I really want to talk to him," I said trying to control myself, "Alex had taken him out to somewhere and don't call Alex, he left his cell phone in his room so just cut this act and concentrate on your fiancé," he said and cut the call, I just stared at the blank screen for a while, when I heard Maaz's voice, "Who is this Uncle of yours?" he asked, I looked at him perplexed, "Who?" I asked, "You were talking to your uncle right?" he asked me again when I realize he was talking about Uncle Javed, "Yes, he is my father's brother, he received the call, telling me Alex took Adil with him," I answered, looking out of the window, he just nodded and took his cell phone from my hand and tucked it in his coat. He parked his car outside a fine looking building with the signboard on which the name of this boutique was written beautifully. I just stared at that building, it was looking so fine and expensive from the outside, "Come on get out of the car," Maaz said standing near the door, I got out carefully and stand next to him, he took out something from his pocket and turns to me, sliding the ring on my finger, "Don't say anything in there unless I told you so, understand?" he asked and I just nodded in response and looked at the ring on my finger and gasped, this was the most incredible ring I ever seen in my life, there was a huge diamond in the middle with small black diamonds around it and the silver band completing its look, this ring looks expensive and rare, but why is giving it to me? Why trusting me with this expensive thing? I thought, but stayed silent and walked inside the boutique with him, as we entered there was a reception desk where a beautiful girl was sitting typing on the iMac in front of her, when we reached there she looked up and smiled, "Mr. Jaferi, Ma'am has been waiting for you, she is in her office would you like me to call her here or shall I escort you to her?" she asked, "I know where to go, just inform her about my arrival," he said coldly and started walking to the glass door on the left, he walked so casually like he owns the whole world, "Ah! Atlast Maaz you are here, I have been waiting for you, why are you late? You never have been late in your life, then how come today, you are breaking your punctuality?," a beautiful young girl said, Maaz just gave me a hard look, but didn't said anything, she was sitting on the posh white beautiful couch, with colorful cushions lined up on it, she must be in her early twenties, wearing a black sleeveless knee length dress looking classy, with silver stilettos. She had these beautiful black hairs coming down till her shoulders, she was gorgeous; she came forward and hugged Maaz with a smile, then looked at me. "And who is she?" she asked, "Alizeh, this is my fiancé Areesha, and Areesha meet your personal dress designer, she is one of the best, she designs dresses for only elite class and from now on she will take care of all your wardrobe and will set everything accordingly, all your stuff will be organized by her," he told me, "What?? But I don't want it," I said, surprise by his words. "No arguments," he said in a strict tone, making me quiet.

I looked at Alizeh who was smiling, I smiled back, "Assalam O Alikum, its really nice to meet you," I said, shaking her hand, " Hello, it's really nice to meet you too, you are different from other girls he brought before, much more beautiful, oh! I cannot believe he is going to marry you soon, I am really excited to design your wedding and of course your wardrobe, you are going to be Mrs. Maaz Jaferi!" she said excitedly, hugging me too tightly.

"Ahh... !" I cried out as pain sweeps through my body, "Watch it Alizeh, she is hurt," Maaz said, pulling me towards him, "What happened?" she asked, looking at my bandaged ankle, "She got into an accident," he told her and made me sit on the nearby chaise longue, "Oh! That's sad and I am sorry if I hurt you," she apologized, "No, it's okay, I am fine," I said, adjusting my dupatta on my shoulders, "but there is no news in the tabloids about your engagement, why haven't you announced it yet? She asked, "I will announce it on Sunday in my engagement party, for now I am not getting it leaked into the media," he replied, "Well, let's begin than, we don't have much time," she said excitedly, "Oh I almost forgot, Zoya came here today and buy four dresses, she hasn't paid it yet, she told me you will pay for those dresses, I called your assistant an hour earlier but he told me you were in a meeting," she said, "How much does they cost?" he asked, "140,000 total with all accessories," she told him, I looked at him with wide eyes, four dresses for 140,000 is he serious, and he bought me here for buying me clothes, "take this," he handed her his card and opened his laptop bag, Alizeh nodded and went into the room with her assistant. I glanced at him, but he was busy dialing number on his phone, so I scanned the room, there was a large white couch in the corner, an oak wood round desk in the middle and so many mannequins lined up along the wall with stunning dresses on them, there was a huge abstract painting hanging on the wall and in a corner there was a bookshelf and a large table with charts, pencils, measuring tape, different kind of scales, pins and other stuff on it and a whole wall covered with mirrors and some model pictures. It all looks so modern and stylish.

After few minutes, Alizeh came in with more girls pulling clothing racks with them there were so many beautiful dresses hanging on them, "Okay come on Areesha, you have to try all of these, we don't have much time for your engagement party, these dresses are from my recent couture, I haven't displayed them in last week's fashion show," she said and handed me a silver and peach colored dress, "They will help you in changing," she said and motioned two girls to come forward, one of them took away the dress from my hands and ask me to follow her, I glanced at Maaz, he was again busy typing on his Mac book, he didn't say anything either notice me, I followed he girl who led me to the changing room, I change into the dress they handed me and walked down to the aisle they told me to walk on, I slowly walk on it, Alizeh and Maaz were sitting at the end on the chairs, "Whoa! This color really suits on your skin tone, I will do some alterations, you have a perfect figure but I guess you need to gain few pounds," she said and instructed the girls to get more clothes for me, Maaz was still busy on his laptop, after trying several dresses and walking, I was totally exhausted, my ankle was hurting so much now, "I can't try more dresses Alizeh, I am tired," I told her when she handed me a sea green dress, "Okay, I guess that will be enough for today, we can do this another time, do you want something to eat?" she asked, "Just a glass of water, thank you." I replied and leaned back to the chair when she left. Her assistant came with a glass of water and gave it to me, I smiled and thanked her, Alizeh came in while talking on her phone, "I am sorry Maaz and Areesha, I have to go somewhere it is urgent, these girls are here if you need anything, I have noted your measurement Areesha, I will deliver your engagement dress till Saturday okay, bye" she said and left with her assistant, "So, ma'am are you going to try some jewelry?" one of the girl asked me, "No, please I can't" I said, she nodded and left, "We don't have much time, go and try some of them," Maaz said still keeping his eyes on the screen, he didn't even looked at me single time when I was trying those clothes and now he is ordering me around again,

"No, I am dead tired and it's getting late, I don't want to try anymore dress or jewelry and why do you care, you didn't even look at me once," I yelled at him, he glares me for few seconds, and grab my wrist in animalistic grip making me wince in pain, "don't ever talk to me like that again, understand!" he warned me and released my wrist, "If you stop being a jerk, then maybe I will not talk to you this way," I uttered rubbing my wrist. He shut his laptop and smash it on the wall and stood up and walked out of the room, leaving me scared on the couch, I shouldn't have said that, I thought and walked to the exit door as fast as I could, but when I reached, there was no sign of him, neither was his car, the road was dark and silent with no car or anyone there, I didn't know how much time we spent in the boutique it was dark outside now, I move forward when I spotted his car going away, that jerk leave me here alone! How I am going to go back to my home? I even don't know the route to go back, shall I go back in the boutique and wait for him or I shall try to go back home on my own? I thought it would be useless if I stay here and wait for him so I agreed with my second thought. I slowly walked forward and took a turn in an alley, where I found two guys sitting and smoking, they looked at me and smirked, "Well Well Well, look what we got here," one of them said getting up from his place, I gulped in fear and took steps back.

Regretting my decision now,

"Ya Allah help me, "I prayed silently.
