25. THE PARTY
YOU NEVER EXPECT
Today I woke up because of him. Again he is shouting on phone, I pity that person on whom he is shouting.
-"You should have confirmed it first before telling it to me. How can you be so careless?!"
He yelled sliding his fingers through his hairs. His eyes are red, jaw clenched and the way he is wandering here and there while talking I can tell he is hell angry.
I glanced at clock it's 8:30 am, he leaves for office at 9:00 am. He has an important meeting today and if he went in office with this mood, he'll surely mess up everything. He told me yesterday about that meeting. When I woke up that day I found myself in room and knowing that he carried me while I was sleeping, I felt so touched. That night was the best time I've ever spent. It has been 10 days. Everyday he brings me either chocolate, icecream or milkshake.
-"What the f*ck?! I don't want to listen anything!"
He ended the call. I have to do something I can't let this Mr. Angry spoil his important meeting.
-"Faisal?" He turned to me "Why are you shouting in this early morning?"
-"It's normal for me." He spoke coldly.
-"No it's not. Something happened right?"
-"No. Nothing happened."
-"Faisal I know something is bothering you. Tell me what happened." I asked him worriedly. I know he is trying to hide something.
-"I told you nothing happened."
-"Faisal. Don't lie. You can tell me what's wrong. Maybe we can solve it together."
-"I told you nothing happened. And why the hell are you interfering?!" He yelled at me.
-"Faisal....."
-"Just shut up!" I flinched at his voice. "Don't interfere in my personal matters!"
He yelled and left banging the door. Tears fell from my eyes. He is a liar. He promised me that he will never let me feel sad, he will never let me cry. But he himself made me cry. He told me to not interfere in his personal matters right? Fine I'll not interfere. I will also not show him that I'm hurt. I will behave like nothing happened.
I got up and went to take a bath. My leg fine now I can walk by myself. But it hurts if I put much pressure or walk more. My hand is not fine it'll take more time. And my head is fine the big bandage has been removed now I only have a little bandage. I got down for breakfast. Bhai and Dad also leaves for office at 9:00 am so we all have breakfast together at this time.
-"Good morning everyone!"
-"Good morning baby." Mom.
-"Good morning princess." Dad.
-"Good morning cutie." Bhai.
I sat on dining table and Mom served me breakfast. About princess Dad said that I'm his princess so he'll call me that only.
-"Baby where is Faisal?"
-"Mom he left early as he has an important meeting today."
She nodded and feed me. I had said to her many times that I can eat by myself but she said that till I'm here she will herself feed me. Mom and Dad loves me very much. I am feeling like they are my own parents. Mom said that I should not feel sad because I'm away from my parents because they are also my parents. After breakfast Bhai and Dad left for office. Mom took me to her botique. She showed me many dresses designed by her. In evening we came back home.
We were drinking milkshake when Faisal came. It has become habit of everyone to drink milkshake because of me. Faisal was going upstairs when Mom called him
-"Faisal we're here!"
He came to us and sit on chair in front of me. Mom gave him milkshake.
-"So how was your meeting?" Mom asked him.
-"Masi how you know?" He asked confusingly.
-"Zoya told us that you left early because you had a important meeting."
He looked at me and speak
-"It was good. Maybe I'll get the deal."
-"Maybe?" Mom asked him.
-"Yeah. We have one more meeting before signing the project."
-"You'll surely get that deal, right Zoya?" Masi asked me.
-"Yes Mom he'll surely get that deal. He is working very hard on this project." I said smiling. He again looked at me then he spoke to Mom.
-"Masi. We are leaving today."
-"Faisal... this early?"
-"Yes Masi. Zoya have to attend college also, her vacation is going to finish in two days. And I also have important meetings I'm going to be very busy."
-"If you're going to be busy then she will be alone most of the times, stay here."
-"Masi please understand. My office is more far from here and I can't live here forever."
-"As your wish. But don't forget that we're here for you always." Mom said smiling "And baby go and check your things. I'll tell the maid to pack your bags."
I nodded and left upstairs. Faisal also came behind me. In room:
-"Zoya?"
-"Yeah."
-"You don't have any problem right that we are leaving today."
-"No. Why will I have problem? We have to leave from here one day and that day is today. It's fine." I said smiling.
-"Zoya......."
*Knock knock*
-"Come in." The maid enters the room.
After packing our bags a gaurd came and took our bags. Now Bhai and Dad have also came. We had dinner and now it's time to leave.
-"Faisal you comes here very rarely but now you have to bring my princess here often."
-"Yes Sheikh Papa. But you should also come sometime to meet your princess."
-"We'll surely come."
-"I've something for you both."
Mom said and a servant brings a big photo frame. It has our photo when we came here. Faisal carrying me in his arms standing on door and we are looking at each other.
-"Masi this is very beautiful. Thank you."
Then we got up for going. I was feeling very sad. I don't want to leave. In these 12 days I've become habitual to live with them. Everyday starts with my and Bhai's argument or drama, then Mom scolding us for behaving like child. Then we both making excuses for not eating salad Mom feeding us forcely. Dad favouring me whenever Bhai and me argues.
I'll miss everything. I don't wanna go I want to spend a little more time here, because in penthouse I'll be alone. Faisal will leave for office and will come late like always. I'll be alone again.
But I didn't said anything to Faisal or anyone. We walked out now we are near car Mom, Dad and Bhai are also standing here. I am feeling very sad just like that time when I left India for coming here. I was feeling the same when I left my family. They have also became my family.
-"Thank God! Finally you are leaving. From now Mom Dad will not scold me and I don't have to share my icecream with you."
-"Yeah now you can eat your icecream alone. But when I'll come back you have to share it again."
-"Take care princess. And whenever this stupid Bhai of yours tease you just give me a call. I'll see him afterwards."
-"Sure Dad."
Then Mom came kissed my forehead.
-"I'll miss you baby." She said with teary eyes.
-"I'll miss you too Mom." I was trying my best to hold tears back.
Then we moved to car. Faisal opened the door for me I was going to sit but tears fell from my eyes and I hugged Mom.
-"Mom I'll miss you." I said crying. She is also crying.
-"I'll also miss you baby." After sometime she broke hug and said to Faisal. "Faisal thank you so much for giving me my daughter."
Then Dad came and kissed my forehead. Then he hold Faisal's hand and gave my hand in his hand.
-"Take care of my princess."
Faisal nodded and looked at me. Then we both sat in car and drove back. He was driving the car I was looking outside the window. The drive was silent. When we reached at penthouse gaurd came and took our suitcases. He kept our bags in our respective rooms. We were living in same room there but here.....
NEXT MORNING
I came downstairs he was having breakfast. He get up and turned
-"You came. I was coming to your room only."
-"Yeah. What happened?"
-"Rehan called me he said that he wants to take you out for lunch. He will come in noon."
-"But why he hadn't called me?"
-"He was going to call you but before that I called him for some work and he told me to inform you."
-"Oh! Okay."
Then his phone rang and he left. I had breakfast then Bhai came at 2:00 pm.
-"Cutie I missed you!" He hugged me.
-"It has not been even one day."
-"So what? I missed you." He said breaking the hug.
-"But yesterday you were saying 'thank God that you are leaving'."
-"Cutie I was kidding."
-"I know. I'm also missing you, Mom and Dad."
-"They were also missing you." He sighed and continued "Cutie I lied."
-"About what?"
-"That we will go out for lunch. Actually there is a party."
-"What party?"
-"Opening ceremony of your Bhai's new hotel."
-"Wow! That's awesome!"
-"Actually it's a little plan."
-"Plan! Tell me!"
-"Faisal don't know that it's my hotel. He will also come there. Actually this hotel is in partnership with a British businessman Jay Welson. He has also worked with Faisal so he invited Faisal before me."
-"So?"
-"So. I want to surprise your husband by taking you there."
-"But Bhai if someone asks me that who am I?"
-"I'll tell them that you are my sister."
-"Nice idea. Today he will become Mr. Shooky."
-"Come let's buy you a dress."
-"But Bhai I have many dresses."
-"So what? It'll be a gift from your Bhai."
-"Okay."
We went to a mall and bought a dress. And I got so happy knowing that it is from Mom's brand. It's a beautiful black frock which ends below knees. Bhai also bought me black heels matching with it.
Then we had lunch together and now it's 4:00 pm. Bhai is driving car.
-"Bhai how will he react? What if he tells everyone that I'm his wife?"
-"No Cutie he will not tell. He himself told me that he wants to keep your Identity secret until right time comes."
-"He is really great in keeping secrets."
The car stopped. I look outside it's a very huge building. Then Bhai get down and opened the door of my side. He forwarded his hand I hold it and get down.
-"Welcome to 'The Paradise' madam."
-"Thank you sir." I said getting down. I hold his arm from my left hand and we entered. It's very beautiful from inside designed in blue glass. It's looking like we have came in an aquarium.
-"Bhai it's very beautiful!"
-"You liked it?"
-"Very much. I loved it."
-"You know it's designed by me."
-"Bhai you are the best architect."
-"No. The best is your husband. This hotel is nothing in front of his designs. You haven't been to his office and hotels. Once you see that you'll forget your Bhai's work."
Then he showed me other parts of 'The Paradise' this name suits it very much. Many rich people are here Bhai introduced me as his little sister. Bhai has talked to atleast 50 people. I was feeling thirsty so Bhai took me to the counter.
I looked around everyone is busy in talking with each other. There is so much sound in this place. Suddenly everyone stopped talking. It's dead silence now. Everyone is looking towards entrance. Only the voice of someone's shoes is coming.
A man entered with full glory. Two bodyguards on his either sides. His aura screaming power. Everyone present here is looking at him. Girls and women are drooling over him.
Who can be this devilish handsome man?
He is my husband.
