Shah Zain's POV (Edited)

After the breakfast, I decided to skip the dining area. I walked outside the house and made my way towards the garden. It was calm and no one was in sight. The cool breeze was relaxing my chaotic mind and I was finally able to breath properly.

Throughout the breakfast, dado kept finding ways to mingle me in small talks regarding Shiza. But all I could do was simply nod. I don't know why she can't understand that it was not my will to marry her. She is acting like she made a right decision by marrying me to her.

She doesn't care whether if I'm happy or not. She just wants me to follow her all decisions. Mama was also barely controlling herself. I was still standing in the garden when I heard timid footsteps. I didn't dare to turn afraid if it was Shiza. I don't want to face her right now.

But my assumption was wrong as it was Zarnish who came. I immediately looked at her but didn't say anything. She also remained quite and kept looking ahead of me. I also once again turned to the front. She needs time and I will give her as much as time she wants. She exhaled heavily before asking

"How's your night?"

I chuckled dryly and answered

"Not the way I had wished for it."

She didn't say anything but I didn't fail to notice the stiffness that enveloped her muscles after my response. She sighed and said still looking ahead

"I know."

Her small responses were making me agitated. She is acting like it's not a big deal. Like she didn't ever want to marry me. I was losing my calm. She needs to answer me now. So, I fully turned to her and said

"Are you even listening to yourself? You are acting all calm like me marrying someone else doesn't even matter to you?"

She closed her eyes and tried to remain calm. But I was done with her silence. I need answers. Why did she remain silent? I ran my hands in my hairs before asking her

"Why did you not tell dado about our liking towards each other?"

She didn't say anything. She was quite and kept looking ahead. It's like she's deaf. I took long breaths to calm myself down. She should atleast look at me. I once again tried

"C'mon, Zarnish. Don't be quiet. Tell me why did you not say anything?"

This time she turned to me and said

"You won't understand, Shah Zain."

I clicked my tongue in annoyance. What is she even saying? Why the hell I won't understand? I tired to reasoned her
