Chapter 33

Waleed

I saw her walk away from me and climb into a taxi, I wanted to stop her and throw her over my shoulder and walk to my car, but I didn't do any of those things. She was mad at me, and I wanted to give her time to forgive me.

I was going to pursue her, till the moment she forgives me and accepts me back. I know I had fucked up, I know I was not worthy of her forgiveness. I loved her and I know she loved me, I agree we were caught up in a difficult situation and I had not acted like a sensible person should have in that situation.

No matter how much time or effort it took, I was not going to give up. I loved her and I won't let her walk away from my life.

I kept turning up on places where she went, at first she used to get surprised when she spotted me, but gradually she understood that I had her followed. We had a big argument about it, but I still had her followed, her safety was my utmost priority, now that she was carrying my child, that priority had doubled.

She had gone to her parent's house after a few days, and she had told our families about her pregnancy. I know this because Dada called and congratulated me, he sounded so ecstatic that I too was filled with joy.

At least the fear that she might get an abortion was no more, because I know her parents would never allow it. I would show up at her parent's place every evening, and Mia was obliged to give me company, I know how pissed she was at me to exploit her like that, but I couldn't help it.

It was nearly impossible for me to stay away from her anymore, she had given her parents, the excuse that because it was her first pregnancy and there was no one in our house to take care of her in this condition she had come to stay with them.

Well, I was glad that there were so many people in her house to take care of her and she needed her mother in this condition, my company would have been of no help because I was as inexperienced as she was in matters of pregnancy.

One thing that I had learned about her pregnancy was that she was craving for anything sweet during her pregnancy. And I made a note to take some desserts along with me when I visited her parent's place. Her mom was not allowing her to go to work. She had made her resign from the job, and I was grateful to her for that. No matter how much I would have insisted Mia would have never listened to me.

"Why do you come here every day? You know, I am not forgiving you anytime soon."

Mia hissed when we were alone in her bedroom one evening at her parent's place.

"You think, I will stop trying?"

I replied turning the pages of a magazine, while I was stretched out on her bed. Thankfully, both Ali and Umair were not home today.

"I don't care, what you do or don't. Just don't bother me with your presence," She said through clenched teeth.

"You don't want me to come?" I asked getting up from the bed and stalking towards her.

"Waleed, if you as much as come one step close, I am going to scream for help, " She threatened me.

I know she was capable of acting on her threat, and I didn't want to create any scene.

"Mia it's been months since we made love, it's killing me to be with you and not able to touch you," I said frustrated, she needs to give me a break.

"Right, you are the one high on hormones," She shot back.

For God's sake, why was she so stubborn? I hated her stubbornness at this moment. I was dying to touch her, to pull her in my arms, to kiss her till she was short of breath and make love to her till she screamed my name.

"Let me take care of your hormones then," I said taking a step towards her.

"You have no fucking idea, how much I want you, I want you so much it hurts Mia,"

I closed the gap between us, and thankfully she didn't protest, I slid my arm around her waist and pulled her to me, she looked like she was done fighting with herself.

"Let me show you, how much I love you," I whispered in her ear.

"Waleed, you need to go," She said through clenched teeth.

She was still fighting it, I know she won't let go easily, I had acted like an asshole and she had every right to be mad at me.

"Please Mia, it's killing me," I said kissing her just below the ear.

"I don't know, I am still not sure if I could trust you," She replied helplessly.

"Please forgive me, I would never do something like that again I promise if I ever did anything like that, you have every right to kick me out of your life," I said wrapping my arms around her and pressing her into me.

I have missed her so much, I have missed the feel of her body against mine, I have missed her scent, Ohh my God, I have missed everything about her.

"Mia, I know, I fucked up baby, but please forgive me. Jeena had planned everything so well, I just couldn't think straight. You know how possessive I am about you, and I just couldn't tolerate seeing you in someone else's arms. And the way that bastard held you, the way he kissed you, I just wanted to kill him.

I left because I didn't want to do anything stupid, that I might regret later, but at last, I ended up doing that. I hurt you, I know, and I am really sorry for that. Will you please let me make it up to you?"

I was whispering in her ear, while she just stood there in my arms, I wanted her to say something, to at least yell at me but she didn't utter a single word.

There was a knock on the door and we pulled back from each other, I sighed as I saw Ali enter the room.

"Everyone is waiting for you two, to have dinner," He said.

We walked out of the room together, I was cursing Ali, if only he had come after a few minutes, might be I would have convinced her to forgive me.

I was in a meeting a few days after my conversation with Mia when I got a call from the detective, I excused myself from the clients to receive his call, I had told him to call me the moment my wife set foot out of the house and inform where she was going.

"Mr. Kamal, your wife, she is in a Mall," He said as soon as I picked up the call.

He was a very professional man, he didn't lose any seconds in useless formalities.

I told the client we will hold the meeting some other time because I had an emergency.

I was trying to talk to Mia, somewhere alone, and in her parent's house, it was nearly impossible because someone would be present with us all the time and if not we would be interrupted, like the last time.

Hence I had told the detective to inform me if she was out of the house alone, and I was glad he was doing his job efficiently. I had asked him the name of the mall and I was there within half an hour.

I called him as soon as I entered the Mall to know her exact location, he told me that she was in the food court. I hurried to the escalator and by the time I reached the desired floor, I saw her standing in front of the elevator. She was far from me, and calling her was of no use.

The elevator door opened and when I saw the person which was standing in there I was shocked and so was Mia, I fastened my pace to reach her, but Riyaan had grabbed her wrist and had pulled her inside, and before I was even ten feet close to the elevator it's doors closed.

I ran towards it and hit the button, I saw the P sign on the flashboard above the door, which meant he had taken Mia to the parking, was that bastard trying to kidnap her?

I had even told that detective to go home because I didn't want him lingering around when I spoke with Mia.

Dammit.

He could have helped if I had not told him to leave, the elevator door opened and I jumped inside hitting the parking button. I was pacing in the elevator, dreading and worried to death what that bastard would be doing to Mia.

It felt like the time had stopped and the elevator was moving with the speed of an ant.

"Fuck Waleed," I cursed.

By the time the elevator reached the parking floor, I was anxious as hell, that what might I find there, was he able to take her with him.

As the door opened I ran straight in the front, but I didn't see anyone, then I heard a scream and some voices of someone, cursing, followed by a painful shriek.

I ran in the direction from where the voices were coming, I was imagining myself as a gallant knight who was going to save a damsel in distress. I know Mia will be proud of me and might even forgive me after I save her from that son of a bitch.

I took a turn in the parking towards the voices and what I saw was enough to shock me, the damsel in distress was lying on the floor his hands on his crotch and yelling in pain, while my wife was kicking him in his gut and butt.

To say that I was shocked,  would be an understatement of the century. I was fucking turned on by the sight of my wife kicking the ass of that bastard. And believe me, I had never been turned on like this before.

Rameen

"If you as much try to put a finger on me ever again, I will rip your throat with my bare hands you mother fucker," I screamed as I kicked him again in his stomach.

I don't know what the problem was with men, why do they think women are weak and pathetic to submit to their will?

I was in a state of shock when Riyaan had grabbed me inside the elevator, I tried to loosen his grip on my hand.

"I just want to talk Mia, just give me a few minutes then I will drop you off," Riyaan said leaving my wrist.

"I don't want to listen to a single word you say," I snarled at him.

"Please Mia, just five minutes", he said.

I took a deep breath and tried to calm my uneven breathing, there were a lot of things I wanted to ask him too, especially about him and Jeena.

When the elevator door opened in the parking, I followed him to his car, but instead, he brought me to a secluded spot at the back of the parking.

"Riyaan, why did you bring me here?" I asked him furiously.

He didn't reply, instead, he pinned me to a pillar, and leaned to kiss me, before his lips could touch mine I kicked him in his groin with all my strength. The attack was unexpected for him, he stumbled back and held his groin with both of his hands, I was sure I had done some serious damage to his anatomy. Before he could retaliate I  kicked him on his leg and he fell on the floor with a thud.

As soon as he fell on the floor, I started kicking him, without even bothering to look where I was hitting him. I would have kicked him more, but someone had pulled me away from him grabbing my shoulders, a fear engulfed inside me, did he have company? And how many were they?

Soon I found myself in someone's arms and pressed into a hard chest. I didn't need to see who it was, I had recognized him by the smell of his perfume and his cologne, only one man in this world used that combination, I heaved a sigh of relief, knowing it was Waleed and not some accomplice of Riyaan.

He flipped me in his arms and leaned and captured my lips in a passionate kiss, I was so high on adrenaline right now, and not to mention the high levels of estrogen and HCG, that I didn't even protest. I had my arms wrapped around his neck, my fingers tugging his silky hair.

His hands slid from my waist to my ass, he pressed me closer to him and squeezed one of my ass cheeks, I moaned in his mouth and he kissed me harder. I wanted him, I wanted him to be inside me, I have been waiting for so long, it had been two months since we made love.

I heard someone groaning in pain behind me, and I was out of the trance, I pushed Waleed away from me, he looked at me surprised and when I punched him on his face he was astonished.

"Okay, I deserve that, " He said holding his jaw with his hand and moving it to and fro to check if I had broken any bones.

"You asshole," I cursed and pulled him by his collar and met his lips with mine.

I kissed the breath out of him and pulled away. When my breathing was even, I punched him on the other side of his face.

"What was this for?" He asked in shock.

"For turning me celibate for the last two months," I yelled.

He kept looking at me in disbelief for a few seconds then closed the gap between us and kissed me again. This time his kiss was urgent and he didn't stop until he had taken everything he wanted from me. My lips stung when he pulled from me to breathe.

"I fucking want you so much, Mia,"  He whispered.

"I want to take you right now, right here, but we need to take care of this fucker first," He said as he withdrew his cell from his pocket.

He dialed the police and within a few minutes, a police van was present in the parking. They lifted Riyaan on a stretcher and sent him to a hospital. The inspector asked Waleed if he had hit Riyaan, and when Waleed pointed towards me, I saw the expression of shock all over his face.

Men will be men. They will always underestimate women. I could never understand why they don't believe a woman was capable of defending herself. I know the condition in which Riyaan was, no one would believe that a girl had beaten him.

Waleed pulled me in his arms as the inspector walked to his car, it felt so good to be back in his embrace, I had missed the warmth of his body so much.

"Promise me, you will never leave me alone,"  I asked flattening my palm in front of him.

"I promise,"  He said as he placed his hand on mine and closed it with assurance.

"Am I forgiven now?" He asked.

I nodded in reply. I think it was high time I forgave him. There was no doubt he loved me and was sorry for how he treated me. It was difficult for me to forget everything, but still, I need to give him another chance. He had been a perfect husband before Jeena and Riyaan had come into our life.

I didn't believe in love, still, I had fallen for him. Our love was strong than any mind games of some bitch. Waleed walked me to his car, holding me in his arms.

I think this was a test of our love for each other and I was overjoyed that we didn't give up upon each other. Getting married to Waleed Kamal had been an accident, but I was sure that we were destined for each other.
