Wearing that bridal dress again is a disaster for her because of the crippling guilt. He asks her to wear her nikkah dress if she wishes to meet her parents. Perhaps he is looking out to make a point to them that now she was his.
He enters the room...
"That's not like this, Bibi. Sayen had always told us to be considerate of you. I initially thought that you must be sleeping and my knocking would disturb your sleep. I am once again sorry for that," Nina again retorted, respectfully.
Andaleeb laughed under her breath at her words. "Considerate my foot. That nasty jerk is fooling everyone."
Nina's eyes widened at how she was talking about her prestigious Chotte Sayen. She even caught this girl speaking like this on his face as well but Nina always remained amazed to see Masab never give her retaliation for her disrespecting words. If it was someone else, she knew his or her fate would definitely be a harsh punishment. There must be something that Masab found special in her for sure, and her kidnapping was definitely related to that.
"Now can you remove this damn chain from my leg? I want to take a shower," she asked her, shrugging her shoulders.
Nina quickly nodded and went over to her. She promptly unlocked the chain and once Andaleeb felt her flesh freed from the harsh steel chain, she blew a breath of relief. That would be the forever freedom from this apparent confinement. She would try her best to make this work so that at least her respect wouldn't be put at stake. The prison of the love and possession of that man still wouldn't go anywhere but the steps should be taken calmly and one by one. Whatever the bereavement he made her go through, she would take the retribution of each one of them.
After the shower, she chose a dusky black double georgette dress. With a squared neckline, pleated bodice, and tulle net sleeves, which made her arms look more attractive by hugging them, she felt a bit more fresh and optimistic. She blew dry her hair and let it fall freely over her shoulders. Completing her look, a bit of makeup and then wearing black heels arranged by her captive, which again ironically attenuated her feet as did the rest of the dresses and accessories he settled in this room for her.
Skimming through the box of makeup and jewelry for this dress, Andaleeb came across a necklace with a lock-shaped pattern. She huffed, and this made her recall that Masab intended to give her the key-designed ring once she helped him. He had the lock and she had the key. The key to his heart maybe. He was all along playing with her and she was stupid enough to even bring those useless things he gave her in her suitcase when she decided to elope with Aurang because that was some kind of memory of that day with her. Who knew the same thing would get her trapped?
She pushed it aside and rather chose a rather simple necklace with just a small heart-shaped pattern for today. Andaleeb would never want herself to get ready before appearing in front of that man. But she had to give him the idea that she had accepted her defeat in front of him. And she was willing to listen to him which he always wanted.

"Is your Chotte Sayen still at home?" She inquired, being all aware of Nina's curious eyes at her extra effort to get ready today.
For the one month, she stayed here, she mostly found him out for work, but his order was so strict that no servants of his tried to do anything against what he said.
