Third person's POV.

Mishal::

She was running to save herself. Turning back again and again,her pace never slowed down. Her feet were creating noise as they were stepping on the dry leafs. The forest was witnessing her ragged breaths,her running feet and the fear on her face. The dark was not enough to hide her fear in it.

"Run Mishal run. Save yourself if you can." He yelled from behind and ran after her again.

He start running after her and she was trying best to escape from his hold. Her tears were rolling on her cheeks. At that time she was considering the worst idea of coming Pakistan. A week ago she was so peaceful in her life,living the way she wanted and now she was running to save her life. She never knew that her trip of going to Pakistan will made her suffer like this. She never thought that her father will deceive her like this.

"Mishal." He yelled looking around and she hide herself behind the tree.

Stopping the breath she tried to control her shaking body. She closed her eyes tightly. Her all life played in front of her.

She was staying happily in Paris with her father her only family. She was fun filled and loving girl. She never seen any of her relatives but then one day her father told her that he's going to Pakistan to meet his family. She got excited when she comes to know that she has relatives like her friends do.

But she didn't know what her father was planning. He brought her here only to fix her marriage with her nephew. She was unaware of his plan. She never thought her father will do like this to her. And then a day before her marriage she ran from there to save herself. She can't imagine herself to live there in the village where she has no importance to anyone. Only men had the authority to take decisions and women to bow in front of them.

"Got you." Her eyes snapped open on the voice and she saw her nightmare Saad was standing.

"Leave me." She yelled while he took her wrist in his grip and dragged her toward him.

"What you think you can run from me. No Mishal no you were born to be mine." He said and pulled her with him.

She was crying and requesting to him to leave her but he was pulling her with him mercilessly. She fall down on ground with his continuous pull but he didn't care about that and keep dragging her from her wrist with him. Her body was pulling and was wounding with thorns and stones. But he didn't care of her tears and wounds.

"Saad please leave me." She yelled with pain but he didn't stopped.

He keep dragging her and she just couldn't make it and lost her senses. He turned and saw her laying there unconscious. He went toward her and removed her hair from her face. Bending down in front of her,he keep looking at her for a second. His eyes go wet but for a second. He wiped that little wetness of his eyes and leaned on her face.

"This is all happening because you let this happen." He said and picked her in his arms and walked out of that forest.

***~~~***~~~***

She opened her eyes and looked around and then at herself. She was fully dressed like a bride with all the jewellery. Her eyes go wide looking at herself.

"Beta come. Its Nikah time." She looked up at the voice shd saw Taayi g standing.

"Taayi g." She ran to her and hugged her.

"What's this happening? I..I don't want to.." She was saying when her Taayi g pressed her finger against her lips to stop her saying anything.

"Don't say this now. Whatever you do but in end we girls have to surrender. We can't say no. Beta life is so difficult, specially for a woman. And when your life and its decisions are not in your hands so just let it flow and saw where it will take you. Just give in beta or else you'll hurt yourself. Just do what is happening. And see what Allah planned for you." Her taayi g was saying and she was listening her.

"But how I mean..I feel suffocation here. And your son that animal Saad,I'm so scared of him Taayi g. How will I live with him." She pleaded with tears and taayi g nodded.

"I know I know. And you know men likes to satisfy their ego. And when they felt that their ego got hurt,they become animal like my Saad who was never like this. Just accept this for now and I know one day you'll be happy with him." Taayi g said but she was lost in her words,trying to understand what to do or not.

"Bring the bride." Another woman entered and said.

"Its time now. Just think positive." Taayi g said and pulled her veil down.

She was taken toward the hall where a partition was dividing it into two halls. One for women and other for men. Mishal was made sit and her eyes flowed the ocean of tears out. Her heart was pleading her to ran away from there but she just couldn't.

"Do you Mishal Ali daughter of Bashir Ali accept Muhammad Saad son of Riyasat Ali as your husband?" The question was asked and she held her lehnga tightly to control her sob and hiccups.

"I do." She said firmly.

"Do you Mishal Ali daughter of Bashir Ali accept Muhammad Saad son of Riyasat Ali as your husband?"  Again the question was asked.

"I do."

"I do." She repeated the words for two more times and accept Saad which she thought as an animal her husband.

The Qazi went to the boy and asked the question of Nikah and he accepted Mishal as his wife. The hall filled with the voices of congratulations but her heart was trembling. Trembling with fear of coming time. She was taken to the groom's room. Making her sit on bed her grandmother with Taayi g took seat in front of her.

"Mishal." They called her as they took her veil up.

Her wet face made them sad but both of them knows that nothing was in their hands. Everything was done.

"Why are you ruining your eyes?" Her Dadi Maa said and wiped her tears.

"When everyone ruined my life,its just my eyes I'm ruining." She said and cried more.

"You believe that Allah is listening you?" Her dadi Maa asked and she nodded still crying.

"Then let everything go as its going. At the end you'll be happy." Dadi Maa said and kissed her forehead.

All her cousins left with Taayi g and her dadi Maa. She was left alone with tears and fear. There was only silence,the Tick-tock voice of clock creating more fear in the atmosphere. She was looking around in his room. A huge room fully coloured in light grey paint except the wall behind her bed. It was coloured in dark blue and his huge pic was hanging there making her scare. King size bed on which she was seated,a huge wardrobe a dressing room and a dressing table on the left side of her bed,a writing table on the right corner of the room fully furnished with beautiful furniture. She was looking around when her eyes caught the glass wall just next to the writing table. Her feet came down from bed and she slowly walked toward the wall. She could see a pool outside. Her eyes went up to the sky which was covered with clouds and rain was drenching the earth. Some drops were sliding down the glass and her fingers went to touch them but they were on outside. Many drop of rain were falling in the pool and the flowers near the pool were dancing in the air and rain as they were smiling with happiness but her eyes were sad and so was her heart. Her body stiffened as she heard the door opened.

She didn't turned as she was not able. Fear rooted her feet to the ground. The door closed down. She heard footsteps toward her.

"Mishal." The voice and she trembled.

Saad::

After the nikah ceremony he was seated with his friends and cousins who were so happy for him but his happiness was nowhere. That time he was only feeling hated and anger in his heart.

Time passed and he keep sitting there in the gathering. He didn't noticed time but he knew that she would be in his room as his possession. He wanted her to wait for him. To live these moments in fear. Fear of him. Fear of coming time. And he really wanted to destroy her fully.

"Saad you should go now. Its quite late." One of his cousin said and he nodded.

Around 12 of night he stepped in the room. As he did the first thing he got was her fragrance which went directly through his nostrils to his heart. He for once closed his eyes to feel the fragrance and his lips smiled a little. But then reality bring him back and he opened his eyes immediately. Ignoring the fragrance he closed the door and looked at the figure which was freeze on its spot. He smiled evilly and took few steps toward her.

"Mishal." He called and as he did he saw her body shivered with fear and that's what he wanted.

But she didn't moved nor answered. Saad start walking toward her.

"Turn Mishal." He said but she didn't turned.

"I don't like to repeat myself. I said turn." He yelled this time and she turned immediately scared,shivering.

He laughed looking at her scary face and took two steps toward her. Mishal took two steps back and her back touched the wall behind her.

"I wanted to see this. This fear." He said and ended the distance between them.

"Stay away." She tried to push him back but he held her arms and pinned them on the wall.

Her eyes widened and he was smiling on his victory. He wanted her to be scared of him like everyone do. He wanted to see this girl bowed in front of him. He wanted to see her defeated,broken and weak.

"Remember the day when you rejected me." He growled looking in her widely opened eyes.

"That day you not only broke my heart but you hurt my ego." He said and tightened his grip on her arms making her bangles to breakdown causing them to hurt her arm.

"Ah..." She yelled with pain and closed her eyes.

"Don't..don't close your eyes. Open them." He said while gripping her arms more tightly until she opened her eyes again.

"Good girl." He said and she gave him a hated look.

"Leave me Saad." She tried to free her arms from his hold.

"Leave you! You are not understanding where you are stuck now." He growled and pulled her toward him and in a second pushed her toward ground.

"There. I want to see you there." He said looking at her who was seated on ground in front of his feet.

"In my feet. I want to see you there. Broken, helpless and in fear." He said kneeled down in front of her.

"What I did to you? Why...why are you doing this?" She asked while trying to hide her hiccups.

"Why?" He laughed with the words.

"You know how arrogant I'm. And when something hurt my ego mean the other one is finished." He growled and leaned on her face and hold her head from.back.

Gripping her hair in his fist which were in her dupatta he pulled her closer to his face making her yell in pain.

"You are so proud of your beauty right!?" He asked and she looked at him confused.

Pulling her hair in his fist he made her yell in pain and he felt satisfaction. Her hiccups,her tears were satisfying his make ego.

"You think you are beautiful or something!? But for me you are ugly. I don't find you beautiful Mrs Mishal Saad." He snarled and held her face in his hand.

Pinning his fingers in her cheeks, he leaned on her face that his breath was burning her face. Her eyes were widely opened and fixed in his red eyes which were burning with anger.

"An ugly girl who is full of pride. You are so proud of yourself right! On your beauty,on your education and all. Tonight..!" He paused and smirked making her freeze on her spot.

"And tonight I'm going to ruin your pride,your attitude, your arrogance and your dignity. I'll break your pride,and your dreams. Like you broke mine." He said while pushing her back harder.

He went toward the washroom and closed the door harder.

Mishal::

She was seated there motionless. Her heart was fluttering in fear. What he was going to do. And what she done to him. She didn't know anything. She pulled herself up. Her head hurt as he was holding her hair tightly. She touched her cheek to caress them to fade the pain his fingers gave her. She was always so fragile and innocent. She was always so pampered by her father who never shouted on her and now his own father pushed her in all this where she was receiving this kind of treatment from the man who was now her husband.

"So ready." His voice made her jump on fear and she turned to see him.

"Please stay away from me." She said weakly while moving back.

"Really." He said and took steps toward her.

Mishal was not understanding what to do. She wanted to save herself from this man who's eyes were filled with anger. Her legs touched the bed behind her making her Fall on it. He laughed and walked more to her.

"See you reached your place." He said and covered the distance.

She tried to move back but he held her arm and pulled her closer to him. She was crying and begging to him to leave her.

"Cry Mishal cry. I want to see you crying all the night." He said and pulled her dupatta from her head to throw it aside.

She looked at him shocked.

"Don't be shock. I'm going to ruin your beauty,your pride tonight. You'll regret what you said about me." He said pulled her nose ring making her yell in pain.

He pulled her necklace, her earrings her all jewellery one by one. She was yelling with pain but he was not caring. He opened the bun of her hair and spread them. Pushing her on bed he came on top of her. She was feeling herself like a sparrow who was caught by a cruel hunter. She was like a deer who wanted to save herself but she had to be trapped and lost her life to some cruel one.

"Please." She pleaded but he grabbed her arms and pinned them above her head.

Leaning on her neck he placed his lips there. She felt her body start burning. She wanted to run away from him. His hold,his breath, his touching was killing her. She could feel his hatred and anger. He start kissing her neck but these were not the kisses she thought to receive from her husband. They were soft not filled with love.There were anger,punish,pain in them. His rough lips were moving on her neck making her feel disgust.

"Leave me Saad." She tried to move but he held her firmly.

He bite on her neck not with love but with anger making her cry more in pain. His tight hold was causing her remaining bangles to breakdown. Pulling her up,he made her sit and look deeply in her eyes.

"This night is going to be very long." He said as his hand went behind to her shirt to unzip it.

Her eyes widened and she tried to push him back but he was more strong than her. He slapped her harder and in a second he pulled her shirt off of her and turn off the lights. All the night she cried in his arms where he was not making love to her but giving her punishment. He was scattering her,breaking her,wounding her soul only to satisfy his ego.

★★★

She turned to see him who was sleeping peacefully after destroying her fully. She got up from besides him and carried her broken soul and body from bed. Covering herself with her long dupatta, she went far from bed. She fell down in front of the glass wall. The rain was still going on. Her tears start steaming down on her cheeks like the rain was falling in the clean water of pool.

"Are you watching?" She asked looking at the sky and fell down on ground and cried.

She lost everything. Everything to man who was not the one she loved. He took her pride,her dignity. She lost everything to him. She looked at him who was deeply in sleep after breaking her into many pieces. She closed her eyes and all the harshness, and the moments of night start roaming in front of her eyes.

***~~~***

Saad::

The next morning came. Saad got up fresh and happy. After claiming Mishal he was so happy. He saw her who was standing in front of mirror combing her wet hair. She was fully ready in her red frock. Her wet hair were hanging on her back. Her eyes were red telling that she was crying. She slipped earrings in her ears and he got up from bed and walked toward her. She could see him coming but didn't react.

"Good morning Mrs Saad." He said but she remained silent.

"Taayi g is waiting for us." She said and he looked at her confused.

She turned to him and looked in his eyes. He was still standing in front of her shirtless. He wanted to see the same fear like last night but her face was clear of any expression.

"Your mother came to call us down." She said and turned to apply gloss on her lips.

As she applied she turned again to him who was still there. He came closer to her and held her arm tightly. She hissed in pain and looked down at her arm which were still wounded due to her bangles which he broke last night.

"What you want to prove? And all this?" He pointed toward her makeup and dress.

"Nothing. We are getting late." She answered and freed her arm from his hold.

"I hanged your clothes in washroom. Go and change." She said normally and walked out of the room leaving him in a maze.

She left but he keep standing there. He was not understanding what happened to her. He wanted to see her broken but she was looking more confident. He wanted to see tears in her eyes but she was not crying. He went inside the washroom and saw his clothes,his favorite colour was hanging. His white shirt with black pant. He start getting ready and faded all the thoughts from his mind.

***~~~***

A month passed to their marriage. Everything was going on normally. Both were living in the same room but still at the distance. After the first night,Saad didn't tried to go closer to her. He didn't look at her after that day. Both were companions but still were strangers.

After the first night both didn't shared any closeness nor a conversation. Both were silent on their places hiding a lot in their hearts. Somewhere her silence was killing him. He wanted her to speak to him to fight with him like she was before but now she was silent.

As he entered his room he saw her getting ready. She was wearing a Perot colour long frock which reached her ankles. A red colour lace was around it making it more beautiful. He stood there on his place and keep looking at her moves. She wore her bangles matched to her dress,earrings and a small pendent in her neck. She turned to wear her shoes when her eyes landed on him. He averted his eyes and stepped in.

"Assalam-o-alikum." She said politely.

"Wasalam." He replied and start taking his shoes off.

"Your clothes are hanged in dressing room. I'm going. Nida would be waiting." She said and took a step to go but he held her wrist and pulled her toward him.

He circled his arms around her waist and her eyes widened on his sudden act. Since a month he didn't do this kind of act. He never tried to touch her again and now. She hot scared. He smirked looking at her glowing face.

"Why are you doing this? And especially this preparations?" He said while pointing toward her make-up and dress.

"You want to prove that you are beautiful. But I told you. You are not." He said and she pushed him back and freed herself.

"I know I'm not beautiful. And mind you this is not for you." She said pointed toward her dress and walked out of the room.

He laughed and then in a second his laugh ended. He sighed and walked in the dressing room to change. Today was his sister's engagement. All the preparations were done. The huge Riyasat Villa was shinning with lights. Every face was smiling. All were happy that finally Nida was getting engaged. In this one month Mishal learnt all the way of their living and now was fully like them but somewhere she lost herself. No one ever heard the same talkative girl who came here  month ago. Her laughter, her voice and her mischievousness everything ended. Nothing was the same. And everyone misses her that side. 

"Bhabhi you are looking so beautiful." Nida said looking at Mishal.

She smiled and start getting her ready. Her cousins were also there. All girls were happy and cheering with happiness. The villa was filled with laughter. All girls went down with the bride. Only family members were there and groom's family. As she stepped down her eyes fall on Saad who was looking so handsome while standing in black kurta with black shalwar. He smiled on something and her eyes lowered down. Making Nida seated on a couch,a woman came and started the ceremony of engagement. She slipped the ring in her finger and all clapped. Saad and Mishal both clapped and smiled. Both looked up at each other and their hand freeze while clapping for a while.

"Bhabhi." Yamna the other sister of Saad called and she came to her senses.

Mishal::

She looked away and went with her to see the refreshments. She was not understanding what she was feeling. Her eyes were going wet again and again.

"Bhabhi you okay? Yamna asked and she nodded while cleaning the wetness of her eyes.

You are not beautiful.

His words rang in her ear and she felt bad. For the first time she felt bad. In all this month she heard several time from his mouth that she's not beautiful and it never hurt but today she felt hurt. She looked at yamna who was serving things in plates.

"Um...Yamna." She called her and yamna turned to her.

"Can...can I ask you something?" Mishal asked permission.

"Of course bhabhi." Yamna said and Mishal slipped her tongue on her dry lips.

"Am...am I..beautiful?" She asked and Yamna burst into a laughter.

"Beautiful!." She laughed again making Mishal scared.

His words again rang in her mind. And Yamna's laugh was telling her that his words were so true. She was not beautiful. Her eyes once again filled with tears.

"Bhabhi beautiful is merely a word in front of you. You are the queen of beauty. You are gorgeous." Yamna said and kissed her cheek.

Mishal released a breath of relieve and smiled happily. She went out and all servants served the refreshments to the guests and soon the dinner was served. She was smiling since Yamna told her that she was beautiful. She was going to serve Dadi Maa when she saw Saad coming toward her.

"Serve food for me in kitchen. I'm not liking this crowd." He said to her and she nodded and passed toward Dadi Maa.

He looked at her who was now smiling with Dadi Maa. After serving her food,Mishal got up and went toward the food. She served plates for Saad and went in kitchen. He was already there waiting for her. She served him and went to bring water for him.

"Sit." He said looking at he who was about to go out.

She looked at him amazed. He didn't repeat what he said. He start eating and she silently sat in front of him. She start playing with her fingers and he keep eating. Non of them looked at each other nor talked. But just satisfied with each other's presence. He finished his meal and in all this time she was seated in front of him.

"Anything else?" She asked when she saw him getting up.

"A cup of green tea." He replied and she nodded.

She got up and went to the counters. He reached near the kitchen door and stopped. He turned to see her who was taking things out of cabinets. He walked back to the table and sat there facing toward her. Her long hair braid was hanging on her back. The tickling of her bangles were creating a havoc inside him. His eyes were on her and she was aware of them. Her hands were shivering. Today it was not fear nothing but still his gaze was making her nervous and feel strange. She didn't turned and keep looking at the boiling water.

"Mishal." He called her and she tightly held her dupatta and slowly turned to see him.

Both looked at each other and for a while keep looking at each other. Mishal was the first to look away. But he keep looking at her which was making her more nervous.

"Nothing." He said and she looked at him and then turned to the stove.

Her heart was beating. With shivering hand she filled the cup with green tea and turned to him again. Placing it in front of him,she moved back and walked. But he held her wrist to make her heart jump in her ribcage.

"Thank you." He said and freed her wrist.

She walked out immediately without saying anything. The gathering overed and soon everyone left to their rooms. But Mishal walked toward Taayi g room as she asked her to meet her.

"Taayi g." She called as she stepped in.

"Come beta." Her Taayi g said calling her closer.

Mishal went closer to her. She sat in front of her. Taayi g held her hands and she looked up at her.

"Are you happy?" Taayi g asked looking at Mishal.

"Tell me are you happy? Please tell me is my son taking care of you?" Taayi g asked.

"Happiness! I don't know what happiness is." Mishal replied and her eyes go wet.

"Why Taayi g why? Why he married to me? I don't know what I did to him but he broke me. I didn't know that I was engaged to him. Dad never told me. And then I came here and all of sudden my marriage got fixed. I was not prepared. No one asked me or give me time. I was a human not a machine. They can't reorder me the way they wanted. No one ever asked me about Saad. I was just scared. I wanted to run from here where everyone wanted to tie me in chains and these chains were not of love but of slavery. And I never wanted to become a slave but a companion. He should ask me like a gentleman for marriage but no he was having the same blood in his vessel. He should ended my fear but no he become a monster. And after marriage your son become like a animal. I can't forget the first night. The pain he gave me. He broke me into many pieces with his words and actions but still I moved on. I moved on with him. But he remained what he was. His hatred never changed. We girls are made with the mud of compromise. But in all this month, He never use to call me. We are strangers living under the same roof." She said and cried.

"I'm no one to him or maybe he's no one to me then why are we living like this. He was the man I hated that day I got married to him but now I don't feel anything in my heart. Not love not hate. I can't live like this Taayi g." She cried and hugged her taayi g.

Saad::

He was standing, listening each and every word she said. He was not understanding what was true. The words which his father told him or the words she was saying. He went out in thoughts. Roaming here and there he was trying to figure out what was true.

He walked toward the study where his father would be. Stepping inside he closed the door. His father turned to him and smiled.

"Did Mishal say that I'm good for nothing? Did she say that I'm a weak man slave of my own desires? Did she say that I don't deserve her." He start asking all the questions in one breath.

"Saad what,are you saying? And  why are you asking now?" His father asked and he took step closer to his father.

"Please tell me the truth. She was unaware of our engagement doesn't she? She was not in some relation with someone? You lied to me. All you said was a lie isn't?" He asked again trying to control his anger.

"No she didn't." His father said and he felt that the roof of this room fall on him.

"Baba." Shocked Saad whispered.

"You lied. Every single word you said was a lie." Saad said shocked.

"Listen you were not taking it seriously. Mishal refused to marry you and she wanted to go back to the world she came. And she wanted to settle down there and that was not possible for us. Because our girls don't marry out of family. And then she ran away. So it was necessary for us to provoked you so that you could handle her." His father told him everything and he was shocked on his words.

"You lied and you don't know what I did." He said shocked.

"Baba I broke her. Just look at her. She's not the Mishal who came here. Her smile, her laughter, her voice everything I took away. We took away baba. We snatched her happiness. And how could her father do this to her." He said completely in shock  and sadness.

"Saad you are taking it seriously. Its not a big deal. She's just a girl and now your wife. Just live with her the way you want to." His father said while patting his shoulder.

"What you made me do. She's not just a girl baba. She's the girl I loved." He yelled and tears rolled down on his cheek.

Mishal::

"What you made me do. She's not just a girl. She's the girl I loved." He yelled and she held the staircase to hold herself from falling.

Her face was wet. His every words went to her heart. All the clouds of misunderstanding faded away and she was trying to hide her hiccups.

"Baba she was the girl I loved and you made me to break her." His voice went to her heart and fell down on ground.

She closed her eyes and cried silently.

"I hurt her not only her body but her soul. And you are behind all this. I'm never going to forgive you for this." He said and stepped out of the study room.

As he did he saw Mishal seated on ground,her arms wrapped around her knees.

"Mishal." He called her and her eyes snapped open.

She got up immediately and wiped her tears. He looked at her and she too looked up in his eyes. Both looked at each other and then averted their eyes.

"Its quite late now. We should sleep now." Saad said and she nodded.

Both walked toward their room lost in their own thoughts. Stepping in the room,She closed the door and silently walked in the room. Saad went to bed while Mishal went in front of dressing table. She start taking off her jewellery but her mind and ears were only recalling a sentence she heard.

She was the girl I loved.

She turned and saw him taking his watch off. Walking to the wardrobe she took his night clothes out and went to washroom. Placing them there she came back and start taking her clothes out. Both were silent. Only her bangles tickling was creating a noise in the room.

Both change their clothes and offered their Salah. He was amazed since he saw her offering prayer. He thought living in foreign country she might be far from her religion but she proved him wrong. She knew her Islamic aspects of life. He completed his prayer and went to bed. As she turned to see him after completion of her prayer, she find him laying on bed his eyes covered with his arm. She made her Dua and I covered prayer mat. Turning off the lights she walked to bed and laid on her side. Both pulled the blanket and turned to other side. Both's mind were recalling the words they heard today. They were not understanding what should they do next. How to live next with each other,how to behave.

★★★

She got up as sleep was not consuming her. His voice was ringing in her ear making her disturb. She turned to see him who was sleeping peacefully. His face was visible yo her. His some hair were ruffled and spread on his forehead. She keep looking at his face and she felt her heart skip its beat. Slowly her hand went to his hair. Hesitantly she touched his hair and keep playing with his ruffle hair.

"Am...am I the girl...you loved?" She whispered looking at him.

A tear escaped from her eyes which he wiped with a small smile.

"I..I want to fall in love with you Saad. So deeply I want to love you." She whispered again and smiled.

Removing his hair from his forehead, she touched his forehead which was so clean and beautiful. Her lips shivered as they wanted to touched his forehead. She felt fear in doing so. Its so easy for man to kiss but not for girls. She thought and slowly leaned on his forehead and pressed her lips on his forehead. She gave him a lingering kiss until a tear escaped her eye and she moved back. She lay besides him. First time ever she slept close to him without any fear. She closed her eyes to drown into sleep.

Saad::

He opened his eyes and looker at her who was sleeping in his arms. He wrapped his arms around her and recalled the words she said at night. Touching his forehead with his hand he smiled remembering the kiss she gave to him.

"I'm sorry." He whispered and kissed her forehead who was peacefully sleeping in his arms.

"You'll love me." He whispered again and slowly moved back.

Getting up from bed he went to washroom for freshen up. As he came out,he saw her waked. She walked to wardrobe and took his clothes out. Both were again silent. She took a glimpse of him and looked away and so did he. Both were hesitate to talk to each other. Silently both start getting ready.

"Mishal." He called her who was about to go out of the room.

"When you all are going on shopping?" He asked and she turned to him.

"I don't know. Taayi g can tell you." She said and walked out.

"God why this is so difficult to talk to her?" He said to himself and start thinking something else.

He stepped out of room and walked down in the talk where all the feminine of his family were busy in their conversation. Everyone had their breakfast except Saad. Girls were so happy. They were busy in the preparations of marriage which was in just a week. Mishal looked at him who walked toward breakfast table. She followed him and stat serving his breakfast. He was looking at her who was serving him his breakfast. She tried to go away after placing his breakfast but he held her wrist to stop her.

"Sit." He said like last night.

She silently took seat next to him and he start having his breakfast. Again the silence between them like last night. But today they were feeling not only the silence but feeling each other. He finished his breakfast and cleaned his hands.

"Anything else?" She asked and  shook his head.

She took the utensils and went in the kitchen. As she was about to turn she stopped and looked at the cup of tea in which his half tea was there. She took the cup and sip that tea with a smile. She turned with a smile and saw him standing there. She got tensed and he walked to her. She held the counter tightly a little scared of him.

"What?" She asked when he didn't say anything.

"Nothing." He said and turned and walk out.

The marriage day came. But the weather was so bad. Heavy rain and wind was scaring the atmosphere. Both families were going to the farmhouse for marriage ceremony but were stuck in the rain. Mishal and Saad were in the same car alone. He was trying his best to drive carefully and fast but weather was failing his attempt. Everyone reached farmhouse and now we're waiting both of them. Suddenly the car went out of control from Saad and it hit the tree. Mishal yelled. As Saad came to his senses he turned to see her. Her head was touched on the dashboard making him scared.

"Mishal." He said and pulled her toward him.

Her eyes were closed and he panicked. He shook her to bring her in her conscious.

"No please don't to this. Open your eyes Misha." He said and took some water from bottle and pour it on her face.

She opened her eyes and looked at him who was so worried for her. Cupping her face,he kissed her forehead and hugged her.

"You scared me!." He said hugging her tightly.

"You too feel scared?" She asked while wrapping her arms around him.

"You made me scared." He said while caressing her hair.

"Really! Mr Saad can be scared of me." She said and he smiled with wet eyes.

"I got scared for you." He answered and this time she didn't said anything.

Both keep hugging each other and both eyes were flowing the tears. Holding each other closed,they were just listening each other's heart beat.

"I'm sorry." He broke the silence.

"I'm sorry. For every hurt for every pain. For making you cry. For giving you wounds on your body and soul." He was saying and she listening.

He moved back and looked at her face which was completely drenched in tears. He cupped her face and caressed her right cheek.

"I'm sorry for slapping you. Slapping the most beautiful face." He said and pressed his lips on her cheek and her eyes closed down.

"I'm not beautiful." She whispered while feeling his lips.

He moved back and looked at her who was about to cry. Her eyes were closed and silent tears were flowing down on her cheeks.

"You are beautiful." He said while cupping her face.

She opened her eyes and looked in his eyes trying to believe the words he said.

"You are beautiful Mishal and I'm crazy for you since I was 5 and you were 2. I loved you since I didn't know the meaning of love. And then you were gone. Leaving me alone with your love. I waited for you and then you came back. I was so happy but then you refused to marry me. I was broken down and then you ran away and Baba told me that you discard me and all which you heard that night." He saying and she was listening him.

"I hurt you a lot. I'm sorry." He said and caressed her cheeks with his finger.

"You are very bad. You broke my all bangles that day and also me." She said and cried while hiding in his chest.

He wrapped his arms around her hiding her in his arms.

"I know and I promise I won't do this again." He said and kissed her hair.

"Still you are bad." She said again while crying making him smile.

She was crying and calling him bad but hiding in his arms to feel safe. The thunder voice made her scared and she hugged him more firmly.

"I love you." He said finally said which she was waiting to hear since last week.

She moved back and looked in his eyes disbelieving. He smiled looking at her shock face. Cupping her face he leaned down.

"I love you my beauty queen. You remember I told you,you were born to be mine and I was born to love you." He said and she didn't blinked her eyes still in shocked.

"I was born to love you. Whether there was anger or hate,but love was always there deeply in my heart that's why after hurting you my eyes go wet because my heart felt your pain." He said and this time she smiled.

For the first time he saw a true smile on her face after their marriage.

"So you fall in love with me or not?" He asked and she smiled happily and hugged him again.

"I'm on my way to love you." He heard her and he sighed happily.

"Saad." She called and he just hummed.

"Saad." She called again.

"We should go now." She said and moved back.

"I want to see you smiling always. And I promise I won't let tears to come in your eyes again." He said and she nodded.

"I know." She said and moved back on her seat.

"But I didn't get your words that you love me." He said and she laughed.

He turned to see her who was laughing and he smiled looking at her laughing face. She was looking like the same Mishal he loved.

"You look beautiful when you laugh." He said and her laugh ended and she looked down shyly.

This was the first time he was looking at her like this. And she was blushing for the first time for him. He loved looking at her like this. He pulled her closer by her waist without giving her any warning and she looked at him shocked.

"Why you stop laughing?" He asked looking at her lips.

Her cheeks heated on his gaze and eyes lowered down. His thumb touched her lips which were still virgin.

"May I?" He asked permission.

She didn't say anything but closed her eyes. He more closer and pecked her lips beautifully with love and moved back. Both looked at each other and smiled.

"I love you." He said and hugged her with love.

"I love you too." She replied giving him a happy shock.

"Say again." He said.

"Love you too." She said and moved back.

"Thank you." He said and kissed her forehead.

"We should ho now." She said bringing him out of romance song and he chuckled.

He started his car and start driving while she was looking out of the car with a happy smile on her face. His word Beautiful not only made her beautiful but also the weather of her heart turn to beautiful. She turned to see Saad who made her life hell but now with his love he made it beautiful. And she was so Thankful to her Almighty who listen everything and gave His people which is best for her.
