17: What if?

Long chapter ahead

The moment I heard zaviyaar.

"Uncle ap fikar na karain main khayal rakh lo ga".

I felt butterflies dancing in my stomach. I don't why but this line of his made me calm. Maybe he is not that bad.

(Don't worry uncle I'll look after her)

We sat in his car and left for his I mean now our home. I was trying not to cry but I couldn't stop. After I while I felt HIS HANDD on my shoulder patting it to stop me from crying.

I felt his warmth. He side hugged me. There was no one with us in the car except the driver. Zaviyaar passed a bottle of water to stop my hiccups. I drank water.

"Ab itana ro gi tu kese chale ga" zaviyaar said.

(How is it going to work if you'll cry this much)

"Ghar main sab ko Lage Maine Kuch khe dia hai chalo ab don't cry please," Zaviyaar said

(Everyone at home will think that I've said something to you now please stop crying.)

I nodded. They way he said please it was the cutest thing.

Soon we reached.

As I already know THE KHANS Mansion is way bigger than ours. It was decorated decently and elegantly. We went inside. Zaviyaar's Mom my mother-in-law and other family members welcomed us they took us to the hall. I was tired af because of the heavy lehenga I was wearing but there were some rituals still left. Malaika bought a bowl of milk with some rose petals in it she took a ring and put it in the bowl.

"Ab jisko phle ring milli wo jeet jaye ga" malaika said.

(The one who's gonna find the ring first will win)

We put our hands in the bowl and started looking for the ring.

He found the ring and took it out.

I've always seen in dramas and movies that the hero never takes out the ring they pass it to their girl but yup this is the reality. There were three rounds.

Zayyan was hooting for me while Malaika was with her brother.

Traitor.

I found the ring in the second round and I excitedly showed it to everyone.

The milk bowl ritual was going on. She won the second round. When she took the ring out of the bowl the way she was smiling

I can't- .

So I decided to let her win because I could do anything to see her smile.

We put our hands in the bowl for the third time. She was looking for the ring desperately. The moment our fingers brushed we made eye contact. I found the ring but I passed it to her. She looked at me I blinked my eyes to assure her that she could take the ring. She took the ring and showed it to everyone. And she won. I could do anything to see her smile.

"Malaika jao Aaliyana ko kamre main le Jao wo tak Gai hogi Baki rasmain Kal karein gaye." dadi said

(Malaika go and take Aaliyana to her. We'll do the remaining rituals tomorrow)

Malaika helped Aaliyana getting up as was wearing a heavy lehenga. She took her to the room.

I went to my room and was about to enter when Malaika and Zayyan stopped my way.

"Itani bhi kya jaldi hai." Zayyan said mischievously.

(What's the hurry brother.)

"Bhai paise do phr Jane dein gaye" malaika said.

(First give us the money then we'll let you go.)

"kis cheez ke paise?" I asked

(Money for what?)

"Arrey bhai ye sab choru bas apana credit card dedo." Zayyan said

(Bhai just leave all of this just give us your credit card)

I gave them the card because I didn't want any drama.

I entered the room.

AUTHOR'S POV:

Zaviyaar let Aaliyana win that game which made her so overwhelmed. But she thinks that maybe he is just pretending to be nice. But she doesn't know but she has trust issues.

Malaika took her to the room. She left her alone.

She was scanning the room. It was decorated. It was giving weird vibes. The candles were lit up.

Her mind was occupied with weird thoughts

"Wil Zaviyaar try to No No obviously he won't.

But what if he?

Omg No No I want to go back home."

Her hands were shivering. She was on the verge of getting a panic attack but then she heard some noises coming from outside. She was sitting on the bed. She heard the clicking sound of the door opening. Zaviyaar entered the room. She guessed he was looking at me he went into his walking closet after a moment he came back and started walking towards her.

The closer he was faster her heartbeat was She was about to cry. Will he try to force?

"No No I can't. Aaliyana stop thinking nonsense." She said to herself.

I entered the room. I glanced at the room and I thought what if she thinks wrong of me? dusting of all thoughts I went to the closet and picked up her mu dikhai.

(Author's note: mu dikhai is a gift that is given by the husband to his wife on their wedding night in brown weddings.)

I bought two things a ring and a diamond bracelet. I decided to give her the bracelet I wanted to save the ring for something special coming up.

I went back towards the room.

I was nervous obviously it was the first time me and her alone. I guess this is the first I'll talk to when no one is near us. It's just two of us.

I sat beside her leaving a good amount of space between us. I could feel that her hands were shivering. She was continuously looking at the room.

NO NO IS SHE THINKING THAT I'LL FORC-

OMG NOO I WOULD NEVER.

"Aaliyana" I said to grab her attention.

She hummed looking at the ground

"Am I not good-looking enough?" I asked. Just because she was looking at the floor I wanted her to look at me.

"Am I that bad looking?" He asked

"huh?" I said looking at me.

I was zoned why did he said. He is way too handsome I mean yeah he is good-looking.

"Nothing." he let out a chuckle.

I tried to smile but I couldn't. My mind was still occupied by WHAT IF thoughts

"liyana if you are thinking that I'll force you I'll never do that. If we will ever get intimate that will always have your consent I'll never touch you without your consent," he said.

I heard this and felt shivers down my spine. He is so sweet. Adorable.

"I want to tell you something." I managed to speak.

"Yeah go ahead" he said

I told him everything that I never wanted to get married I did it because of my parents but obviously, I didn't tell him that I didn't like him. And I may take alot of time to accept him as my husband because I've trust issues.

I told him everything but I was not able to read his face as his face has no expression.

"Aaliyana I'll put effort into this marriage. And don't worry take as much time as you need." He said

"I have something for you." He took out her muhdikhai.

My lips crept into a smile. The gift was so elegant and so pretty. I'll wear it tomorrow for sure.

"This is so pretty thank you so much" I said while smiling.

He passed me a smile.

I went to the closet there were already some of my clothes and took out my pajamas and went to the washroom. I took a warm bath as I was tired after wearing heavy lehenga and makeup for the whole. Was it worth it?

Maybe Yes

I came out wearing the PJs

And I was thinking the way Zaviyaar understood me I'm just adoring him now.

I looked cute I guess. I entered the room only to find zaviyaar already sleeping on the couch. His height is almost 6'2 and I could how uncomfortable he is. I guess he had freshened up in the other room.

I sat on the bed and was lookin- staring at zaviyaar he was soo handsome ughh.

I opened my Instagram put on some stories and went to sleep.
