SEVENTY-TWO

AYSHAM’S POV:

I was awestruck when I glanced at the dress. It was a silver gown embroidered with beads. There was emerald green jewelry with the gown as the sparkling stones were going perfectly with the dress along with the heels which were green in color.

“Mr. Shah picked everything for you.” One of the maids informed me when I was in my room sending pictures to Suzi and Areej and earning their comments from them which weren’t decent as they all included Farzan in that.

The Gala was tonight as after our breakfast he had to leave after a phone call but he didn’t forget to make out with me again against the door. It was evident he was forcing himself to go but still I had to push him into the lift so that he couldn’t eb late and people could say the behind the destruction of a man there is a woman.

“You look exquisite in that.

P.S If we were alone, you would have also looked exquisite in nothing.”

The moment I opened the box there was a chit placed at the top of the dress with a red rose making me blush instantly as the maid also smiled left me alone in the room with my flushed state.

There was time so I decided not to get ready yet placing the dress on the bed neatly when my phone started ringing. All the hairs in my body straightened up as I saw the restricted number calling. Contemplating whether to attend the call or not I finally decided to attend as there must be something else, he wanted to say other than threatening me.

“Hello.” I managed to say.

“I am warning you…” It was again the computer-generated voice. “…get away from him. You’ll regret it if you won’t.” With that the call was cut making me tense again. When everything was going good in my life suddenly a curse broke out and this was happening. I didn’t know what it was but it was someone who had problems with Farzan.

I couldn’t take everything on my nerves right now as I had to relax myself because I wanted to meet Farzan at midnight who was going to pick me up in few hours and I wanted to meet him with a smile on my face without worrying him, about anything.

“WHAT?”

“WHAT THE F**K!”

I finally talked about this call to Suzi and Areej and this was here initial reaction but I wanted the solution at that time not their curses for that man.

“Should I tell Farzan or not? He has already so many things to worry about.” I typed as three dots started appearing indication, they both were typing.

“Definity you should. That m******r needs a lesson.” That was Areej as she sure had her adrenaline level rushing over.

“No, you shouldn’t. You guys are having a good time. Not ruin that.” This was Suzi and I decided to go with her as she was right. I shouldn’t ruin what we have right now. It just started and it was beautiful.

“Ma’am the beauticians here.” The maid informed as I scrunched my nose at I never though I needed one but thinking of my makeup skills and how important this function was for him I thought opposite of that.

Two hours passed as the beautician really spent plenty of time one all the time gushing over Mr. Shah. She sure had a crush on him which made me frown a little and feeling a little precious as among all of them he loved me. Thinking of precious I thought of my kitten Precious. I was missing him although I had talked to him on video call and he pretended like he didn’t know but he was young. It would take some time for him to built-in my face in his memory and for that I had to spend most of the time with him.

“Fine all done. Now it’s time for the shoes.” The beautician said as before the maids could grab my shoes and put it in front of me, I grabbed them and sat on the bed to wear them.

“All done.” I chirped as that was the moment my phone started ringing. It was him as it brought a wide smile on my face.

“Assalamualikum.”

“Walikumaslam.” He replied as it was first time, he was answering to my salaam like that and it surely made me skip one heart beat making my cheeks heat up.

“Thank you.” I mumbled.

“For what?” He asked in his raspy masculine voice making my heart rate accelerated.

“For greeting me back.” I said as while everyone started cleaning the mess in the restroom.

“How can I not do that? It means peace be upon you. If you can be my peace then I can at least greet you that.” He replied in his smooth voice making me gulp.

“You know how to talk Mr. Shah.” I teased him although my heart beat was uneven.

“I know many other things Mrs. Shah. The things that I can do specifically with you.” His raspy voice sent a shiver ran down my spine when he further added. “Come and blush in front of me. I am waiting. Make me thankful for your presence soon.”

“Okay.” I mumbled as I cut the call. Grabbing my clutch, I glanced at myself as I couldn’t even recognize myself at that time. My hairs were in a bun with few flicks touching my neck and cheeks as there was a loose scarf of same color around my head revealing the jewelry, he sent for me. Everything was looking perfect and yet I was nervous about his reaction.

I was escorted by the maids till the gate as he was standing there in front of the car in a swift black tuxedo looking great as always searing a domination aura around him. His jaw unclenched as soon as his gaze fell on me making a smirk travel towards his lips which appeared more like a smile.

The maid turned around as it was only me now, who walked close to him and stood a few feets away as I mumbled. “Are we late?” I asked as he was glancing at me from top to bottom making the clutch in my hands heavy.

“What are you doing to me? I was a sane person before you.” He rasped as I bit my lower lip in order to hide my smile but it was a failed attempt.

“I have a doubt on that.” I teased.

“Really.” He quirked an eyebrow as his eyes lingered on my lips for a moment when he added. “Let’s go before we end up in our room again.” He said he grabbed my wrist as casted a kiss on my knuckles before opening the door for me.

There was a soothing silence in the car as his hand remained on my thigh all the while giving, he warm sensation. The Gala was more than what I expected or it was elite class only who knew what they were doing. The hall was guarded by massive chandeliers as I was fascinated by the beauty of the hall which was exactly like the people who were also shimmering in every way.

“You got a gem.”

“You wife is beautiful.”

“She is so cute.”

“Are you marrying someone else?”

“Are you going to have a divorce or she is the new one who you are going to marry?”

“Is she really innocent or she has just a face like that?”

“She is ho…Your wife is gorgeous sir.” The last statement was from a man who dared to compliment me in front of Farzan but one glare from him was enough. The rest of the comments were from the woman and few were quite personal as he didn’t even answer to any of them instead of a glare and that made them talk about the business. I was bored and fascinated all the time as he was beside me all the time with my fingers intertwined with his.

“Oh, she is the one?” I heard someone behind me as there was an old man with a woman beside him most probably his wife.

“Indeed, she is.” I saw Farzan for the first time talking to someone with respect in his eyes.

“I am happy you got yours.” The old man patted his shoulder as Farzan introduced him and his wife. After a while he left me with Mrs. Alam and went to discuss something about the business as he was going to have a meeting with him.

I talked with Mrs. Alam as she was a simple woman and it was easy to get along with her despite being an introvert.

“Excuse me. It’s my son.” After twenty minutes of talking, she excused herself to receive a phone call leaving me alone there to bear with the eyes of the women who were staring at me top to bottom. They didn’t like or they didn’t like me with him.

“What are you thinking?” He asked coming out of nowhere as I was standing alone with a glass of juice in my hand.

“Precious is forgetting me. I should spend more time with him to imprint my permanent memory in his mind.” I said about what I was also thinking as he looked at me to verify what I actually said was true or not.

“F**K!” He rubbed the bridge of his nose with his thumb as he smiled a little with unbelief expressions.

“What happened?” I raised my hand and grabbed his thumb thinking he had a headache as I rubbed his temple myself. With that move of mine I heard gasps from the surrounding as I retracted my hand getting nervous but he holds my hand in his tight grip instead.

“I completed my meeting so that I could be with you. You corrupted my mind in the meeting the whole time and here you are thinking about a cat.” He grumbled in disbelief as I bit my lower lip.

“Not a cat, the cat, Precious.” I said resisting my urge to make a pout.

“Really. Then I should spend more time with you so that you can just think about only me. And you know where I would like to spend my time?” He asked leaning against me a little with his eyes darkened.

“W-where?” I asked in a whisper.

“Deep inside you. Spilling me inside you.”
