FORTY-SEVEN

AYSHAM’S POV:

“Wait.” I reached the lift as I pressed the button when I heard his voice behind me. He took time in recovering from the revelation that I just did on his mind which had all his own story roaming around in there.

I didn’t reply to him as the lift door opened and I entered inside and pushed the closing button but he also squeezed in with me but I didn’t care to glance at him as he looked overwhelmed but why I should care?

People who are angry doesn’t care what other people are suffering from right? Though the wave of anger passed as it came as a depolarizing wave and ended suddenly without any plateau. My anger was just of short interval but he didn’t deserve to know this. After all he had done with me using the name of Jameel he deserved to thrive for me a little. Not for me but for my forgiveness if he ever asked for it but that would a high demand since he had the name on top of the list of arrogant people. Rich people and that who are also handsome and attract women are always arrogant. I could be arrogant if I had men other than Safwan walking around me like women do around him. It’s just fate. I could be born rich and with green eyes too. Rich could be in my control if I preferred studying but green eyes wouldn’t be natural if I would use lens.

“Are you saying that you don’t have feelings for Jameel in any way?” He asked as I could say from his voice that he must be on cloud nine at that time but still his voice didn’t leave evenness and smoothness just because he lacked how to show his emotions but he couldn’t hide his shocked one when I revealed partly truth on him.

“Why do you care? You just have to bring him everywhere and ruin my mood.” I didn’t look at him and also sounded dramatic but I didn’t care at that time. Right now, I could see his condition and enjoy through my peripheral vision.

“F**k! I am sorry. I though you used to cheat your family in order to meet him at nights and f**k the whole image went wrong in…F**k…I am sorry.” He apologized and that could be the shocking news for me the hear but as long as peculiar words left his mouth the lift doors opened and I had to make my dramatic exit which I did very gracefully.

I exited the lift as he could grab my elbow and forced me to stay with him in the lift until we sort that out but he didn’t because we collided with a bunch of people as soon as the doors parted. They all got alarmed as fear also danced in their eyes when they came across the sight of him but he didn’t even bless them with any glance as I walked out and stormed towards the main gliding door to ask Imran bring the car and he also walked behind me.

The whole floor got silent for a minute when I was walking ahead and he was practically following me with gleamed expressions on his face although I thought I could read that only but his body language could be seen by anyone as small whispering in a chirping way started in the whole floor as everyone had me as a focus for their sockets.

“Baby, just stop. We should talk.” He rasped behind me but why would I listen to him. I was angry and people around me who were enjoying the show were making me nervous. I was glad I made it towards the door and found Imran standing outside talking with some other guards when I said. “Let’s go Imran bhai.” I said with a stern face as I waited for him to move but instead, he looked behind me at him and he didn’t move. I gasped as Imran bhai just lowered his gaze in order to not meet mine.

“You…”I looked behind at him who had a small smirk as if he had earned an achievement by taking Imran in ghis control. “Fine.” I said adamantly when I added. “I’ll go and walk myself towards home.” I said sharply and his smirk died down but I could see through the corner of my eyes how Imran suppressed his chuckle as if he was enjoying the show.

I stomped my feet and started walking down the stairs when he grabbed my elbow although there were people who were looking at us while walking around there.

“Let’s go in my car. You can’t walk.” He said and before I could say anything he lowered his hand from my elbow and intertwined his fingers with mine while locking his intense green eyes with my hazel brown ones. I heard a woman sighing at us when he in no time one his guard brought his car and handed him the keys.

“Are you forcing me again?” I glared at him when he opened the car door for me and I just stood there glaring at him.

“No baby. I am requesting you to get inside my car so that I can get the chance to drop you at the mansion.” He said ever so sweetly as if trying to show other people who were gawking at us that nothing was going on but the guards who were standing close and could listen to everything had a small smile on their faces as Imran was going to tell each and everything to Suzi afterwards.

I didn’t protest any further because I also didn’t know the route back towards the mansion so there were chances that I could get lost even with the google maps in my phone.

“I can do it.” As soon as I got seated, he leaned in to buckle my seat belt but I was fast enough and I grabbed it before him. I wasn’t a baby who needed her seat belt buckled up by someone else. I did it in front of him and looked at him after the click sound as if showing that I didn’t need him to do stuff for my safety.

“Good girl.” Instead of getting pissed he smirked at me and closed the door. I glared at him through the window while he walked towards the driving seat. Within seconds we were on the road as it was almost evening and sun was setting showing the beautiful blending of yellow and white.

“Look. If you have…” He was about to say something when I cut him in between.

“Did I allow you to talk to me?” I said glaring at him as he got his mouth shut with dumbfounded expressions but after a long pause started again. “But I am sorry.”

“Oh, you are now? You must be happy after hearing what you wanted to hear.” I said as I scratched the corner of the box as the cake was still in my lap.

“F**k! Look baby I am relieved but…”

“Do I look like seven years old to you?” I asked sharply as I cut him in between again.

“No.” He said blankly.

“Then don’t call me baby again.” I informed and his lips twitched from one side.

“Fine sweetheart.” He said and heart skipped a beat although I found that endearment very cringe.

“Do I look like any near to being sweet right now?” I asked with clenched teeth as his eyes were on me glancing at my every feature as if he owned them.

“F**k! But I bet you would taste sweet right now.” He said as I found his gaze lingered on my glossy lips for more than a while and I looked ahead stealing his sight.

“Just drop me home silently.”

“But let this sort out.”

“I said silently. Without any word.”

“But what about my cake…” He was saying but my glare shut him up as he looked like he had realized he had clearly messed up.

“Baby. Let’s talk now. We should talk while eating my cake…” I completely ignored him when we reached mansion and before he could walk towards me and open the door I got down from the car and stormed inside the mansion. I was headed towards the kitchen when I saw dad sitting in the lounge watching cricket match between India and Pakistan as he seemed to enjoy that but my stomping foot caught his attention.

I greeted him to which he replied with a smile but then he looked behind at him mouthing. “What did you do?”

He just took a long sigh as if there were too many things to explain which he did. I moved towards the kitchen when I heard dad saying. “You clearly messed up this time son.” He said and diverted his attention towards the match again partly amused by his son’s state at that time.

“Suzi.” I said sternly when I entered the kitchen to find Suzi working probably soup for dad which was done as she was pouring it in the bowl when she got startled by my sudden appearance.

He also entered behind me in the kitchen as before he could ask Suzi to get out of the kitchen I announced.

“Let’s go and eat cake.”

“What…but I…” I didn’t let her complete her statement when I grabbed her wrist and walked out of the kitchen but I did enjoy his baffled expression when Suzi said.

“Can you please turn off the stove sir. You know I am in no situation to do that right now.” She whispered while we walked beside him and then came towards his wing on my room.

Today was the quite the show which everyone enjoyed, I guess.
