4. Friends

Dua's pov:

Aarib is such a nice person. He don't deserve to be deceived like this but I can't tell him truth either. I like him and I think we can be friends at least. We are going to stay together I don't know until when, so it will not be so awkward like right now if we become friends. I am also thinking of taking internship under famous Chef Rafeeq. He works in Dream Hotel which is owned by Aarib.

I hope Aarib agrees to it. I have a plan and I wish it works. Yesterday I felt something strange in my heart for Aarib. When he consoled me and left the room to give me space. I like the way he treated me even though he was angry with me. Before leaving he said,"until you are ready I think it will be good if I stay in another room. I hope you are okay with it"

I nodded my head. He muttered something like,"This girl definately got hit on head on our marriage day. She is behaving too strange but I like this version."

I think he talking to himself..weird..I know.

Next day I woke up early and made the breakfast for him. Once he came down I served the food. He looked at me like I have grown two heads.

He said,"Where is Mrs.Lucy?"

I said,"I wanted to cook for you so I asked her to rest for today."

He said,"You know how to cook? "

I said,"yes. Take a bite you will get to know"

He said,"I have very important meeting today. You are sure, right? I will not end up in hospital."

I tear the Puri and dipped piece in aloo curry then fed him. His eyes widened and then he started making faces like it's bad.

I said,"Don't you like it?"

He smiled and said,"It's the best I have ever ate. I am surprised. I never knew you can cook. Now that I think about it I feel like I don't know you at all. You are too different from what I thought about you."

I smiled and sat infront of him. He continued eating.

I said,"Aarib I was thinking if we can be friends."

He stopped eating and looked at me.

I said,"I mean we are staying together and It will be-"

I feel like he is angry by his looks so I stopped talking.

He said,"Are you playing with me?"

I said,"No, Sorry. It's okay. I mean don't spoil your mood. forget I said something like that. No need to be friends."

He pushed the plate and stood up. He was about to go. I said,"Why are you getting so angry? What I said so wrong? you don't want to be friends fine I am not forcing you."

He turned around and said,"Why are you confusing me so much? When I asked the same thing that we get to know each other before marriage you didn't agree and forced me to marry you. you were so rude to me and told me that you don't need to know me. It is waste of time. Now you are asking me the same thing. Are you mocking me?"

I feel like I will go mad. I have no idea what happened between Aarib and Sila. Always I become the scapegoat of his anger on her everytime.

I walked towards him but he quickly walked towards kitchen sink to wash his hands. I followed him.

I said,"Aarib..I am sorry for whatever happened in past. I was wrong and I feel very bad about how I behaved with you. Can't we make new start and forget everything that happened in past? Please Aarib.."

He turned towards me and looked intensely in my eyes like he is trying to see inside my soul.

He said,"okay." He extended his hand and said,"Friends?"

I grabbed his hand and said,"Friends."

He pulled me towards him and hugged me. I was shocked and froze at my place. He pulled back and said,"I will go to office now." I nodded.

Ya Allah What is happening to me?

Shut I forgot to talk about to join the hotel. It's okay I will ask in the evening.

I arranged dinner at the patio. We will feel relaxed by feeling fresh air and hopefully his mood will be good.

When Aarib returned from office. He looked very tired. I told him to come outside after he freshen up. He was surprised to see the decorations.

I said,"Special Dinner on the start of our friendship."

He smiled and said,"I am impressed."

I blushed but Why am I blushing?

I said,"I made food which I like as I have no idea of your favourite. I hope you like it."

We sat and started eating.

He said,"Everything is so tasty. I feel like you can become chef. you should have become chef instead of model. Every Dish is so delicious."

I said,"Actually Aarib I was thinking-"

He said,"Thinking?? OMG that's dangerous. My friends told me that if your wife says she is thinking then you are in trouble."

I huffed and said,"Very funny."

He laughed and I glared at him.

He said,"okay fine what were you thinking?"

I said,"I don't want to talk about it now. "

He said,"Is my wife angry?"

Stop calling me wife. It makes me feel guilty.

I didn't know when he stood up and came towards me. He lifted me off the chair and I came to my senses.

I said,"Put me down."

He said,"only if you tell me what you are thinking?"

I said,"no"

He started walking towards pool. I started to wriggle out of his arms but he is not leaving me.

He said,"Tell me otherwise I will drop you in pool."

He was about to drop me when I said,"Fine..I will tell you don't drop me in pool."

He said,"Too late" then jumped in water along with me.

I don't know swimming.When he left me I was drowning so I hugged him tightly.

I said,"Take me out of here. I don't know swimming. please..."

He said,"Stop joking. you are pro in swimming. you can't fool me."

Where I am stuck Sila might know swimming but I don't. I want to cry in frustration. Now what should I do?

I said,"I can't swim now. I almost got drowned in water due to leg clamps. After that time I am scared of swimming."

He looked worried and said,"I am sorry. I don't know about this. "

I felt very guilty for lying but do I have any choice? I am Sorry Aarib for deceiving you.

He said," Stop crying now. We are out of swimming pool. I am Sorry."

I said,"Stop saying Sorry Aarib. I am not crying because of you.It's not your fault. Please take me inside."

He took me to my room. He took his clothes from cupboard and said," you change here. I will go to my room and change."

I nodded and he left. I took shower and came out of washroom when door opened and Aarib came inside. His eyes widened and he was staring at me from top to bottom.

First I didn't understand why but then I realized I am wearing just towel. I shouted at him and quickly hid inside blanket.

I said,"You pervert turn around."

He laughed and started walking towards me.

He said,"I have right to see you. I am your husband. Why are you being so shy? I have seen you in lesser clothes than this.-"

Something burned inside me. What he mean by lesser clothes? Did they both had intimate relationship? Why it's bothering me? They were engaged.

He continued,"not only me but whole world has seen you. you are model. Have you forgot that?"

There was bitterness in his voice when he spoke. He sat beside me

He said,"If I ask you something then will you do it for me?"

My body started heating up due to our closeness. I tightened my hold on blanket to stop it from falling.

I said,"W-What?"

He moved closer. I was almost lying on bed and he was on top of me. our faces inch closer.

He said,"Stop your modelling career. I don't want my wife to be seen by others. you are mine to see. " he touched my lips and said,"mine to touch." He moved closer and placed his lips on mine and kissed me. I was in shock so I didn't respond. After kiss he looked at me and said,"mine to feel..only mine.."

My eyes widened.. I kissed Aarib

My first kiss is with my sister's fiancee..

Hope you are enjoying :)
