If He Only Knew 💕

Chapter 12

I was reading a book, while my husband came back from wherever he was just an hour ago. I took a walk nearby the property and the area was really a view to behold, the whole day went quite okay, it wasn't boring since my little adventure trip.. I wanted to explore the city also but a thought that might my Husband come back for me didn't let me stay out for long. But he didn't, he was out for whole day.. Maybe tomorrow I will go out on my own. Why to waste this trip on someone who doesn't even care about me. But atleast he ate the dinner with me just like yesterday, in an awkward silence.. The ring of my Cell phone brought me out of my thoughts. Begum Sahiba's name flashed on screen..

Zoya - Assalamoalikum

Dilshad - Walekum Assalam Zoya how are you?

Zoya - I am perfectly fine, how are you all?

Dilshad - We all are good here.. So are you enjoying there is Asad taking care of you?

I bite my lips to stop the unshed tears. I could sense Asad's whole attention was on this call. "Don't worry Begum Sahiba, he is taking good care of me.." I lied through my teeth looking at him, who looked expressionless..

Dilshad - Is he there with you?

Zoya - Umm.. Yeah

Dilshad - Put the phone on speaker then, let me talk to him..

And I did as told.. Asad came to sit beside me on the couch and I shifted uncomfortably.

Asad - Hello Mom, how are you doing?

Dilshad - I am doing fine, but what are you doing Asad?

Asad - Woah what did I do?

Dilshad - You left your wife alone at home on your honeymoon exactly to do what?"

And Asad just closed his eyes in annoyance. "Shit.." He looked at me and I immediately shake my head telling him, I didn't inform her anything and the way he wasn't shooting daggers at me I knew he believed me.. "There was some important work, I thought it will be over in few hours but I was wrong.. But don't worry it was just today, I will take her out tomorrow.." He reasoned and I could hear her sigh in relief on the other hand..

"You better should Asad, I have sent you both to spend some quality time with each other not away from each other and also we all will pretty much like to see both of your pictures.. I will make a album, so I could show them to your kids.." My face turned red at the mention of Kids and Asad's gaze lingered on me for a bit more longer making me bow down my head immediately.. "Yes Mom, It's quite late, I think you should sleep now.. Allah Hafiz.." And with that he disconnected the call, tossing my phone back to me. "Be ready by 11 am, we are going out tomorrow.." ignoring my wide eyes and shell shocked face, he slumped down on his bed...

My eyes fluttered open only to find Zoya missing from the room. It was 9:30 and I remembered I had to take her out today.. I so want to hate this girl for forcefully entering my life and pulling it upside down but she hardly give me any reason to do so.. It was almost a week since we got married and I haven't seen her raising her voice at all.. She always do as told and I have felt that she seems afraid of my presence. I know this marriage is not her fault but still she had the chance to say no but she didn't..

Zoya was not the prettiest girl in the world, Hell I have seen far more beautiful girl, like Sonya Jahaan, She was epitome of beauty.. But there was something about her that intrigues me and I couldn't wonder exactly what? Maybe because she was different from other girls that I have met. I was wrong about her family, those people were not greedy rather simple and her younger sister was just another version of Najma.. Even she was my wife, she didn't tried to seduce me or throw herself on me to make me fall for her charms, the moment I told her off.. She backed off completely and that troubles me..

It's totally stupid cause that was my decision, but still it annoy me more that how easily she can be threatened.. She can't even fight for her own rights, she was weak and that made me more angry on her.. I got ready for the day, as I have to go out with her and take pictures so Mom doesn't suspect anything wrong going on with us.. It isn't okay for her health.. I came outside to find her laying the table for breakfast, she was still in her night clothes..

"Why aren't you ready yet?" My voice made her jump, see she is a weak women.. "I was making breakfast, you said we will leave by 11, there is still time.." She said in a small voice.. Her voice is a mere whisper. The another thing that irritates me was her so damn low voice. "Why are you cooking, where is Rahila?" I asked settling down.. She literally had prepared the feast. There were boiled eggs, baked beans, sausages, Hot cocoa, Veg sandwiches.. I hate to admit this but I was impressed.. "Rahila isn't feeling well, so I send her back to rest.."

A sigh escape my lips, why she has to be so considerate to others... I finished my meal along with her and honestly everything was delicious but I couldn't admit that aloud, don't want to get her any wrong ideas.. "Get ready fast, I am waiting here.." I ordered and she immediately went inside after cleaning the table..

I looked at my wrist to check the time but frowned to see nothing there, guess I forgot to put my watch on today.. I stood up to collect it from my room... the moment I entered inside, I halted in my steps.. There stood my wife in a Bath robe with her long silky black hairs open and wet.. Which she was trying hard to dry with the towel.. The beats of water travelling from her face to her neck and deep down.. I gulped hard.. Ya Allah!!! the women has very long and very pretty hair.. This was the first time I was seeing her without her scarf and I was mesmerized..

If that scarf hides her this beauty from the other men out there, then I am glad she chose to cover herself... My eyes were shamelessly roaming on her from head to toe and I hate the feeling that were inside my heart. Move your eyes Asad, Move your eyes away from her.. I didn't knew did I made a sound or was it her instincts confirming my presence that she immediately turned around and shrieked seeing me there...

What am I? A ghost.. Why is she so damn scared of me.. I cleared my throat, "I just came back to take my watch.." I took it from the dressing and Zoya was still standing beside it almost freeze.. I took the watch and faced her once again.. A sudden urge of running my hand through her long hair nagged my heart but I snapped out of it soon and without uttering another word, I came outside the room calming my racing heart.. What the hell did happened?
