Chapter 28
"Leave her. Now." Came a threatening voice from my back. I definitely knew that to whom that voice belongs to.
"No...we won't" one of the goon's said.
There was stillness on both sides. If hatred was visible, the air would have been scarlet.
"Fine, then" and the next thing I saw was one of the goon's flying from right to the opposite direction. Sir rained blows onto him as if he meant to smash him into the very earth.
Screams broke out. The men rushed forward, shouting orders. Guns fired. More shouting. More screaming. More running and with that I blacked out.
I was tired, very very tired...but still I could make out that a mild headache was starting to rise. I want to sleep and this soft, fluffy, blanket is helping me well to sleep soundly but the only thing that was taking me away from my sound sleep was an intimidating smell or breath should I say that was coming right behind my side.
I was feeling warm, I wanted to hug that smell so that I could sleep peacefully and that's exactly what I did. I really felt good..I was in love with that smell. It was soothing with a hint of wetness in it. I was again drifting in a deep slumber.
I don't know for how long I slept or I was in that same position, engulfed in that soothing smell. I tried to open my eyes, and the very first thing I met is with a pair of striking blue eyes.
I jolted back and got hit by the bed.
"Ouchhh" I said massaging my head.
"Hey, easy easy..."
"What are you doing here? No, sorry wrong question...What am I doing here??" I blabbered
"Well, you fainted and I was kind enough to bring you at my place." He said sitting properly.
"You should have been more kind and would have left me at my place" I said raising my eyebrows.
"Because my place was much near than yours" he replied. "Will you tell me why were you clutching me so tightly as if you've seen a ghost?"
"That was youuuuuu..." I said making a very bad face.
"Yes, unfortunately it was me!!" He gave a one side smile.
"And here I thought that I was in the land of Gucci and Versace" I was being dramatic.
"Gucci and Versace, surely don't want to lose their reputation!!"
"You're being mean"
"And you're being extra rude. Instead of thanking me to not to leave you alone on that place, you're insulting me??" He stood up.
"Oh please, I've better things to do than to insult you" I said showing him my palm.
"You are forgetting that you're still in my home" he said folding his arms over his chest.
"That's why I'm leaving" I said getting up.
"No, you can't!!" He quickly said coming to my side.
"Huh...??" I made a weird face.
"I mean, have you seen the time? It's nearly One." He said.
"Huh...I missed my salah!!" I gasped.
"It's okay, you can pray here."
"No no...it's not okay. You, me, alone....no no...I need to get back home, now. Uncle and Aunty would be worried for me." I was panicking.
"Nope, they are already informed."
"Still have to leave. I can't stay here."
"Ofcourse you can. I'm the owner of this house and I'm letting you stay here" he shrugged
"From which right you're letting me stay at your home? I can't stay with you...I need to leave." I raised my voice a bit. He has totally gone mad!!
He didn't said anything and left, so I thought this was my cue to leave. But before leaving I thought of freshening up. I hurriedly went inside the washroom not wasting anymore time as it is already too late and my cell is dead. I quickly splashed some water on my face and washed my hands properly, fixed my dress and then came out.
In the rush, I forgot to tie my hijab properly so I stood in front of his full length mirror, and started tying properly. Just as I was about to pin the hijab, his voice boomed in the room.
"Why are you wearing that?"
I was first shocked by his question then was irritated.
"Because you're obviously not my mehram!! And this isn't the first time you're seeing me in hijab?"
He just left.
Bipolar!!
"Umm, I'm leaving." I said entering his living room.
"How are you planning to go?" He asked standing up.
"I'll take a cab!!"
"I'm leaving you"
"Nooo"
"Yes"
"I'm not safe with you"
"And you're safe with that unknown driver?"
"Yes"
"You're coming with me"
"No, I'm not."
"You can take the guest room, then" he shrugged.
"Feel free to stay in your own home, Sir" I said and walked passed by him.
"You can't walk out of this house, unless I want you to" he said pointedly.
"Yeah, sure!!" I shrugged him off and went to open the main door. To my surprise, the door didn't opened. I agin tried but it didn't.
"Did you set a passcode??" I was shocked
"That's for me to know and you to listen to me!!"
"Exuse Me!!" I said folding my arms
"I'm ready to excuse you, but you're not only moving!!" He said
"Why are you so desperate to drop me??"
"And why are you so desperate to spend the night here" he said raisng his eyebrows.
"How dare you--"
"You want to go to your home, I'm dropping you. It is as simple as that. You're only making it complicated."
He did have a point!! I want to go home...
"Fine" I huffed.
He didn't waste a time to show all his thirty-two. Moron!!!
After exact ten minutes I was sitting in his car and he was driving in full speed.
"If you so badly want me dead, then you should have left me with those men" I said slowly, closing my eyes. Everything was blur!!
"Then I wouldn't have got to enjoy this scene" he simply said.
"God...you're horrible"
"Learned from you"
I rolled my eyes.
After fifteen minutes of silence, moving my head from right to left, getting adjust to the speed, I finally decided to ask him about those men and how did he found me.
"What did you do to those goons?" I asked looking at him.
"Nothing, just showed them their right place."
"Can you please tell me where is their right place?"
"Why? Do you want to take a selfie with them?"
"No, I want to go for dinner with them" I said rolling my eyes.
"You're not allowed to go with anyone" he hissed.
"And who are you to say this?"
"Why does your every question has to be like this?"
"And why can't you give a staright answer? I asked you a simple question...?"
"They are under my control..." He said.
"What do you mean? You can't take law in your own hand"
"Uff...I meant they are under custody."
"Ohh..."
"We're here"
"Ohh..."
"Miss.Ahmed, your house"
"Ohh..yeah." I said opening the door.
He also got out of the car. He was walking right beside me, while I was fidgeting that I should put my ego aside and say thanks to him, for saving me.
"Umm...Sir" I said
"Hmm?"
"Thank you for saving me"
"No Issues." He said and turned away. He got inside his car and drove off!! Sometimes, I feel that he's wearing a mask behind this face. I still don't know him properly, but one day I will.
I rang the doorbell and patiently waited for the door to be opened. Uncle opened the door.
"Assalamualaikum"
"Walekumasalam, dear. How are you?" He said stepping aside so that I can go inside.
"I'm fine, just a bit tired."
"It's okay, take rest. We'll talk in the morning." He said kissing my forehead.
"Btw, how did you came?"
"Sir dropped me."
"Hmm..it's too late. Get some sleep"
"Good night"
After taking a hot shower, cleansing and drying myself properly, I was sitting on my bed missing my window alot. During these times, when I know I'm sleepy but can't sleep, window is the best place. You could enjoy the silence of the night peacefully, with light breeze touching your face.
I silently laid down on my bed, thinking about tonight. I know I often get angry on my boss but still he somehow manages to save me from every difficulty. As if he has planted a tracker inside my body, and he knew what is exactly happening with me at what time.
Though he seems to be rude, arrogant, but still he can steal any girl's heart with his charm. His eyes speaks alot but is always masked by his anger. How can I forget that his personality screams handsomeness, his dressing style can woo any girl, but apart from all these things there is something that attracts me to him and that is, the way he looks at me.
His stare can make me forget everything. I can easily get lost in his stare.
*Beep*
*Beep*
My cell beeped, indicating a text. I pulled out the charger and looked to see who it was.
Huh...Sir!!!
"Be there in office by nine."
And here I was thinking that how good he is.
*Beep*
*Beep*
Again my cell beeped. I opened the lock of my cell to see what now he has ordered.
"It's not right to stay with someone else, other than me, my love!!"
