Ayzal was in her room sitting beside the unconscious Yuhaan, Husniyah was in her own room studying while Zimal was walking in the hallway using her phone in one hand and eating a donut from another.

As Zaroon and Ruhena walked in, Zimal saw Zaroon from the corner of her eyes and without a second later she yelled loudly "Mom! Zaroon is home" Zaroon rolled his eyes spatting out angrily "Childish"

This time Zimal rolled her eyes and replied sarcastically "It's not my problem that you are boring" Zimal was going to take the bite of her donut when her eyes caught Ruhena's figure behind Zaroon "Who is she"?

Zaroon passed a glance of 2 seconds to Ruhena which sucked out the life from her body. She instantly averted her eyes down and Zaroon's eyes darkened at her "We married this afternoon" Zaroon's icy voice resounded in the hallway.

Zimal frowned and munched her food down the throat asking confused "What"? Zaroon passed a glare at Zimal muttering loudly enough to let her hear him "You really are stupid........" She instantly glared at him but the donut and phone fell from her hands the second Zaroon completed his sentence "She's my wife" Zimal widened her eyes in shock and stood frozen on her place like a statue.

"Dramatic" Zaroon mumbled and started walking towards the sofa but Ruhena stood there awkwardly. Unknown to the three of them Ayzal was standing on the mid stair in shock.

Zaroon stopped abruptly in his steps when his gaze met his mother's. He stiffened under her shocked gaze but calmed himself. Ayzal recovered herself from her stupor state and walked downstairs gracefully.

She silently walked passed Zaroon towards Ruhena. Ruhena started fidgeting her fingers nervously as she saw Ayzal coming towards her. Ayzal passed a smile looking at Ruhena and embraced her in a hug mumbling softly "Welcome home Dear!"

Ruhena instantly stiffened as this was the first time someone hugged her lovingly. The missing warmth of her mother was filled for the first time, different emotions surged up as tears welled up in her eyes.

When Ayzal pulled away, Zimal excitedly pulled Ruhena in a bear hug. "Welcome My Dear Sister in law" As usual Zimal's reaction was extreme. Ruhena finally relaxed herself and smiled softly at the mother daughter duo. Ayzal made her sit on the sofa and both mother and daughter sat right and left to Ruhena.

In all, Zaroon felt left out. His beautiful eyes darkened but a small frown appeared on his forehead. For the first time, his mother ignored him and this made his heart clenched. Ayzal gave a look to Zaroon and asked Ruhena "What is your name Dear"? From a first glance, Ayzal could tell something was terribly wrong. She knew Zaroon would never lie about the marriage thing and from the looks of it, this marriage wasn't out of love. Zaroon's eyes said it all!

"Ruhena" She replied politely and averted her eyes down as she was feeling the intense gaze of her newly wedded husband "MashaAllah! What a beautiful name.....Zimal make Ruhena feel comfortable here. I will be back" Zimal nodded excitedly and said to Zaroon "This was the best thing you ever did in your whole life Bro" She laughed and gave him a thumbs up. Zaroon just gave her a glare in return.

Ruhena pursed her cherry lips in a thin line feeling somewhat embarrassed. Ayzal stroked Ruhena's hairs lovingly and walked towards Zaroon "Follow me" Ordering her son sternly she walked upstairs. They straight went to the study room.

"I need truth" Ayzal's stern voice boomed in the room as she turned towards Zaroon folding her arms together "I don't want to lie Mom" The Zaroon stood infront of his mother was totally different from the scary and dangerous man of business world. His tone was especially polite and respectful.

Ayzal nodded to herself and sat down on the sofa with a serious expression. She knew her son very well, if he didn't answered her directly then that means he didn't want to tell her. Zaroon patiently waited for his mother to speak and after whole 10 minutes of silence, she spoke "I hope you know what you are doing" She was smart enough to put 2 and 2 together to know this marriage was related to Yuhaan's accident.

Zaroon slightly nodded and Ayzal stood up from the sofa "Ruhena is your wife and i can see no love in your eyes. She's a good girl. I hope it will not be too late to regret. Don't hurt her" Saying this she walked away leaving Zaroon in his deep thoughts.

In the very corner of his heart, he knew what he was doing was extremely wrong but the image of Yuhaan lying on the hospital bed unconscious left him devasted. He can tolerate everything, just not his family in pain. His family was everything for him and he can never forgive the person who have an evil eye for his family.

For him, he must destroy that person, he must eliminate him to make him regret his mere existence.

***********

Coming back to the hallway, Zaroon heard the irritating voice of his sister but ignoring her, he took big strides towards Ruhena and held her slender wrist pulling her up from the sofa.

Ruhena was dumbfounded by the sudden intrusion. The small smile from before faded away from Ruhena's face but Zaroon's eyes darkened as the teary face of his mother and sisters flashed across his eyes. As much as they were trying to ease the tension and trying to smile for eachother, he can see their pain hidden in the depth of their eyes.

Her innocence filled doe eyes widened but he averted his eyes from her and walked upstairs dragging her along "I am still here Okay!" Zimal shouted at her brother angrily. Zaroon turned slightly "As if i care" Zimal sneered in response but she knew Zaroon cared the most. He don't show but he does.

Going in the room, he pushed her in the room and locking the door, he turned towards her. She balanced herself but his death gaze was so intense that she visibly shuddered infront of him. He was lossing his calm per second.

She averted her eyes down in fear. His every step towards her felt like the bell of death. She clenched both her hands together when he harshly lifted her chin up. Her clear gaze clashed against his rageful eyes. This was the second time they were this close, so close that unknowingly her heartbeat quickened in response "I hate your bastard father......." She instantly frowned at his icy cold voice.

"I hate you! And i promise to destroy you all" he completed and he tightened his hold on her chin but the second a hot tear dropped on his hand, he leaved her chin. He was going to turn away when a small hand held his arm softly and he instantly jerked her hand away "W-why"?

She curled her trembling fingers and stepped back "Because your father tried to hurt my family. Because of your bloody father, i saw my mother broken, i saw my sisters crying. He will pay!" His hands were clenched tightly and his eyes were seeing only red.

She flinched from his loud and angry voice "W-what did h-he do"? She asked because she trust her father "He hurted my family" He yelled jerking her shoulders closer.

She don't know what her father did to receive so much hate from this man but she decided to ask one last question "W-what wrong i d-did"?

Zaroon slightly stiffened for a second but gritting his teeth, he caught her slender wrist and harshly dragged her to the terrace. Heavy rain was pouring down, clouds were thundering against eachother, cold wind was blowing and the melodious voice of her anklets was echoing against the rain. He slightly pushed her to the terrace and in only some seconds, she was drenched from the rain.

"You are his family that's what wrong you did. He hurted my family, i will hurt his" Answering her with his clenched jaw, he closed the glass door at her face and locking it he pulled the curtains covering her face from his view.

He walked away in the bathroom angrily leaving the girl in the heavy cold rain. Ruhena slumped on the floor feeling totally helpless. A heartbreaking sob left her quivered lips. She embraced herself in a protective manner and buried her teary face in her knees.

She was unwanted, unloved, undesired yet again. Didn't she deserve love, attention, care? What sin she did to receive such behaviour?

No words left her mouth, just her silent tears were rolling out from her beautiful silver eyes and she looked up at the sky as if a silent plea to her 'Allah'

She calmed herself leaving everything to her 'Allah', cleaned her teary face and stood up going towards the railing. Her long hairs fell down her hip as the clip fell to the floor. Her porcelain hands held the railing softly and her graphite coloured eyes were getting lost in the vast darkness of the sky.

Tears descendent down her eyes like a pearl from the depth of ocean. The raindrops were sparkling like a gleam of hope when hitting her skin and sound felt harmonic to her ears. As much as she was hurt but the rain felt much more gentler than the painful reality of this harsh world.

**********

Zaroon took 20 minutes in bathroom calming his raging heart and walked out dressed in his casual clothes. Black T-shirt and black loose trousers. When he walked out of the bathroom, his green eyes unintentionally roamed to the curtain covered terrace door.

The hollow voice of wind against the rain was echoing in the room but the silence which was prevailing across the room was much more depressing and restless than the raindrops outside.

He picked his phone from the table and clenching it, he was going to walk out of the room but halted in his steps when he felt distress all over. Why didn't she said anything to him? Why for once she didn't asked him to open the door?

He frowned but without thinking anything else he walked out of room.

« 3 hours later »

Zaroon walked in the room all drenched, nobody knew where he went and why was he drenched. From the looks of it, he was surely drenched from the rain.

He unlocked the terrace door and walked in. Rain was still on its peak. Ruhena was sitting on the sofa like chair silently looking at the table in daze. She was lost in her thoughts, she wasn't crying anymore but her puffy red eyes was the proof of her vulnerable tears.

His emerald eyes darkened at her nonchalant expression. He took big strides towards her and before she could sense his presence, he caught her wrist pulling her up from the chair. She gasped in shock when she came face to face with his beautiful face.

He had the face of angel but deeds were devilish. He was the devil in the disguise of angel!

Without wasting a second he dragged her out of the terrace but this time not so harshly. He opened the door of bathroom and slightly pushed her inside.

But the next second he stiffened as his gaze fell on her. The lighting in the terrace was dim and because of rain he didn't saw clearly but the bathroom was brightly lit. Her white long gown was sticked to her body like a second skin, her long hairs were dampen as the water was dripping from them, the leftover raindrops on her face and her cherry lips were so damn attractive that he felt hot all over.

His intense eyes lingered at the raindrop which trailed from her swan like neck to her chest making him gulp hard.

Why was she so f*cking appealling?

He cursed in his mind and passed a glare at her "Clean yourself up" He ordered and was going to turn away when her melodious soft voice echoed in the silent room "My b-bag"? His eyes darkened further more and without a word he picked a bag from the sofa and threw it infront of her feet "You have 10 minutes" He ordered once again and walked towards the terrace.

He sat down on the chair in the cold rain to cool himself down. He was really irritated right now but the reason was unknown. He felt hard for the first time in his entire life of 28 years?

"F*ck it!" He cursed out aloud and pushed the table away with his foot angrily.

Ruhena hurriedly took a warm bath and wore a simple Kurti and trouser. She peeked out from the door and slowly walked out looking around. Her wet hairs were pulled up in a messy bun and her overly sensitive skin was slightly red because of the hot shower she took.

A figure standing by railing caught her attention. Thinking for a whole 2 minutes she walked towards terrace pitying him. He must be feeling cold right now, right? She took 3 deep breaths to calm herself down but at the end she only cleared her throat to gain his attention.

Zaroon glared at her and walked passed her straight to the bathroom with his clenched jaw and hands. Unknown to her, he was going to take a cold shower!

She sat on the sofa and sighed softly. After 20 minutes he walked out with a new set of clothes. All black! He was really in love with black colour "From now on, you must follow my every command" He ordered but Ruhena kept quiet and nervously tightened her hold on her stoler.

"From now on, you are going to sleep on sofa" He added and when he saw no reaction from her, his eyes darkened in anger "Are you deaf? Can't you hear me"? He semi yelled at her and she just innocently fluttered her eyes up.

"O-okay!" After that no words were exchanged between the newly married couple. Soon the beautiful voice of 'Fajr Azaan' was heard and the first best thing these two did at their first wedding night was offering prayer together.

There was no anger at the tip of nose of Zaroon and Ruhena was not feeling scared anymore. There was just peace between the two!
