She looks through her emails on her laptop as she sits crossed legs with her laptop in her lap. The only issue is the hulk of a handsome man in this universe looking at her constantly. She tries not to be intimated by his gaze but was that even possible?.
These top tiers men were blessed with good looking along with wealth, power and fame. She knows for a fact that they have been popular even before they were born.
She wishes he was a little less attractive or at least she finds him a little bit less attractive like every other men in her life so she doesn't have heart problems because of him. With the speed, everything was progressing she is sure her bed will be soon along with him and someone else had to come in to take care of both of them.
She shakes her head at her wild imagination trying to look at her schedule for next month because this whole month is dedicated to having that hotel by any means so she has her own hotel. The location and population were the best in this place which excites her more to have that hotel.
"What's with the smile?". He asked tilting his head as he looks at her from his bed
She shrugged, "I was looking at the hotel".
"And you are smiling? that's new". He mumbles but she heard it
"Is it that wrong to love a hotel?". She asked narrowing her eyes
"Not wrong. You just loved a cafe more than a hotel. You always told me about it and you visited every single cafe of every place we went to and then you had your own journal where you wrote your ideas of it". He explained
"You remember?". She said pleasantly surprised because she thought he never listened to her
"I remember everything". He said with a sad smile
She gulped looking back at her work as she continued it until it was dinner time.
"I think you started working more than me now". He said chuckling as he remembers how he used to be workaholic
"Why?. You don't sleep at your office anymore?". She joked remembering how he used to sleep in a few nights or most
He laughs, "No! I come back home every night surprisingly maybe because I missed home more than office now".
"What's there to miss?". She asked confused as she remembers he was never attached to their house
"Everything. You were everywhere in our house. That's the only place I see you even with my eyes open". He replied watching her going stilled at his words
"Usman, I don't know what you are doing but you need to stop". She said stern
"I don't know what you talking about". He shrugged innocently not wanting to argue with her
Their food came in a moment later while she had a good burger she ordered from outside he was stuck at a stupid salad.
"Give me some". He said moving his hand to take her chips which she slapped away
"No sharing". She said taking her chips closer to herself
"Come on! This food is disgusting". He whined
"Oh, now you realised that?. When I used to plead my case of having these leaves you never listened". She said smirking at his pale face as he remembers how he used to feed them to her
"You wouldn't have revenge of that when I am on a death bed, right?". He asked smiling tightly
She flips her hair away dramatically placing her finger under her chin thoughtful, "I don't know. Let me think". She pauses looking directly at him, "Of course I will. There is no way I will give you any my food. If you wanted to eat these you shouldn't have ended in the hospital bed in the first place".
He grumbles looking away from her while she hides her smile eating her food while he eats his food.
"Acha suno". She said softly (ok, listen)
"Kia?". He asked frowning not looking at her (what)
"Dekho toh sahi meri taraf". She said sweetly (look at me first)
He sighs turning to look at her watching as she forwards her food to him. He grins widely taking her food eating it happily and she shakes her head because he resembles a child at the moment. After they were done he decided to watch a movie and since it's a VIP cabin he can do more than just a movie.
"I am not sitting here". She said shaking her head when he told her to sit beside him on the bed
"You cannot watch a movie from the side". He said flatly looking at the couch on the side where she cannot see the movie from
"Then I will sit on the chair". She said shrugging sitting on the chair beside his bed
"Seriously?". He asked shaking his head
"Does it look like I am joking?". She asked raising her eyebrows making him sigh
He let her think for a moment that she won before he holds her hand pulling her over making her fall directly on top of him shrieking. He chuckles keeping his hands around her tightly not allowing her to move. She raises her head from his chest looking in his eyes making her movements of protest stop at once.
He places a strand of her hair away from her face letting his finger brush against her ear to her cheeks in slow motion making both their heart to beat rapidly. Their breathing hitched as the gaze in each other eyes remembering the moment of love they have spent together.
"You are so beautiful". He said softly while his finger that was caressing her cheeks move to her plumped lips, "Every single thing about you is so beautiful". He said as his finger brush against her lower lip making her shudder at his mere touch, "How can someone look so beautiful to someone?".
He leans closer to her and she feels her heart ready to leap out of her chest at any given moment. His touch always used to ignite a fire within her. The fire was always strong and hard to resist. She craved for his touches to the point of need to breathe properly.
Her eyes look into his eyes which were filled with nothing but sincerity, need and love for her. The admiration in them as she looks at her without any fancy dress, messy hair and no makeup amazed her to no bound. She never thought he would not have another woman with him after she went away but every time she saw his name in news there were only his success stories, nothing more. He was covered with all sorts of women around him and to find that admiration for herself seems to tug at her heartstrings.
She gulped as she leans so close that their lips almost touch exploding their emotions into millions and the tingle went around their bodies wanting and begging them to do more.
But, he stopped.
He moves back knowing this is not the right moment and she might run away from him after he had done something like this. No matter how much he craves her touch, he wants her in his life for a long time and not have her run away before he even made sure that she was with him.
Instead, he moves his lips to kiss her forehead for the longest moment closing his eyes imprinting the moment in his heart. The feeling of love he felt in that moment and the peace of those innocent kisses even shocked him.
He pulls back with great difficulty switching on the television to watch the movie he had originally planned to watch. Just as the movie was 10 minutes in she was fast asleep in his arms. He forgot the movie looking down at his wife peacefully sleeping in his arms cuddling to him. He smiles at how fast she sleeps whenever she is tired. She used to tell him how he was her peace and no matter how hard things are for her if he was there, she will pass through them.
He sighs.
His thoughts went depressing in an instant as he wondered in these seven years how she managed to live on her own and just how many times she needed him and he wasn't there for her. He started to hate himself and unconsciously his arms tightened around her but when she groaned in her sleep mumbling something he calms himself down losing his hold on her.
He continued to watch her for a long time until he went back to sleep excited to start another day with her.
She wasn't even surprised.
She knows she wanted to sleep in his arms after the previous night she slept in his hands because he was always her safe haven. His arms allowed her the luxury to sleep soundly without a care of the world falling around her.
She sighs.
She didn't want to leave his arms but what will she say if she stayed long?. She places her hand on his chest placing her chin on it looking at his sleeping face. His arms held her protectively and she wonders what he had been thinking to hold her in this way.
"Please don't go". He heard him whisper
She frowns because she didn't even move for him to say that. She raises a little to have a better look to find him sweating and mumbling in his sleep.
He was having a nightmare.
"Please, mom, stay. I can't live without you". He pleaded as tears escape his eyes
She moves back to hug him tightly shaking him awake and his cries decreased and slowly he calms down wrapping his arms tightly around her inhaling her scent.
"Please don't leave me like her". He said hoarsely as his morning voice was only deeper than his normal tone, "I can't bear another woman I care for leaving me".
"I am here, Usman. I will always be here". She said softly placing her hand on his cheeks caressing them wiping the tears away, "What happened to your mother?".
She saw the distant look in his eyes and the calculating gaze as well then he sighs, "She died in an accident. I don't know one day she wasn't with me anymore. She left me without a word".
She knows he was holding himself from crying so she stayed in his arms a little longer until they heard the knock on the door and she jumps away from him standing beside him.
The doctor walks in and she watches his stone face coming back making her shake at the head at how he manages to be this cold-hearted to everyone around him. He never shares his emotions and this was another one of the surprising moments for her as he was actually sharing with her. No matter how many times she wraps her head around it she cannot do it because he never spoke about his family neither let her meet her. It was always a big mystery to her.
"Jaan?". He called her for the tenth time holding her hand shaking her a little
"Ji?". She said confused looking at him (yes)
"Mrs. Zaheer, We said that his reports came out perfect and he is in no need to stay in hospital as long as he takes all his meals and medication". The doctor explained to her
She didn't miss the way he tugged at her hand when the doctor called her with his name and the childlike grin on his face not even caring now that he is a cold heart man for the world.
She resists the urge to roll her eyes at his behaviour nodding to the doctor as she spoke in concern, "What about travelling?. Is he ok for it?".
"Yes. He can travel just be sure that he didn't skip a meal because of it and rest time to time". The doctor said
"Please send me the details about his medication". She said stern as she calculates the travelling time
The doctor asked her to sign a few papers before they went away.
"So, Mrs. Zaheer". He said grinning at her, "I like the sound of that".
"Of course, you do. It's your name". She said rolling her eyes moving to collect her things
"No, I like it because it's connected to you". He said honestly making her heart skip a beat as she halted in her place
She shakes her head holding her phone, "You need to stay away from Akbar, really. He is influencing you".
He shrugged, "As long as I take all the good things from him".
She sighs, "You will be discharged after breakfast so I will go back to check out of the hotel, pack my bag and get the essential for travelling. Ok?".
"When will you be back?". He asked desperately wanting her to be near him
"In the afternoon. I will try to be quick but it all can take time. So, you can pack your bags until then. Is there anything you need?". She asked moving closer to him
He shakes his head and she nodded turning around when he holds her hand turning her back towards himself. He moves to kiss her cheeks making her eyes widen a beautiful blush to adore her cheeks. She heard him chuckle lightly, "You're still the same adorable woman I knew".
She pushes his hand away holding her bag running out of the hospital hearing him laugh behind her.
After preparing everything she asked Usman to wait at the front of the hospital while she comes after taking his medicine from the pharmacy. She finds him standing there with his bags and she stopped in front of him. He enters inside the car after placing his bag and she starts to drive away.
"What is all this junk?". He asked looking at his car backseat filled with junk food
"That is my food for the drive". She said narrowing her eyes when daring him to say another word about her food
"I am taking your chip then". He said excitedly taking a chip from the bag
She snatches the chips from his hand before he could have a single piece shaking her head.
"The other bag is your food". She stated
"What is this your and mine. It's our". He said smiling
"No. It's not. Now don't make me stop the car to beat you. If you want to eat, eat healthily". She said stern and he raises his hand agreeing with her immediately
She smiles satisfied as she drives in leaving the city just a little away entering the suburbs. She stops the car deciding to take a short break.
"I am going to washroom". She said as she walks to the washroom behind the shop at the petrol station
It was already night by now.
She heads to the washroom freshening herself before she had to drive for about two more hours till they reach their destination. She was excited to look at the place she wants without having to just look at the pictures.
"Look at that". She heard a male gruff voice making her startle
She turns around to find about three men standing in front of her. Their stomach was out and the look in her eyes had her stilled in her place.
Where is Usman?. She needed him.
Usman stands in front of his car watching the few people giving him looks and he prays no one recognises him because that will bring the media after him and he doesn't wish for it. He just wants to have a good time with his wife.
Which reminds him that his wife went to the bathroom about 10 minutes ago. He frowns looking around feeling something heavy on his heart as he walks towards the washroom when he heard the loud sound and a scared voice making his heart stopped. His feet start to run towards the washroom as he banged the door open his blood boil looking at the sight in front of him.
They are going to die tonight.
No one who dares to touch his wife will live. No matter what.
