Mine To Be Called ✓

"If I ask you to give up on your life any day, will you do that?" She suddenly asked.

"I won't think twice," he replied, without any delay.

Masab sounded genuine and real this time. It seemed like he really wouldn't think twice if she would ask him to sacrifice his life for her.

Abruptly, wetness invaded her eyes, and Andaleeb got a dire need to throttle him with her very hands.

She freed herself from his arms and then shook her head in denial repeatedly. Tears started filling from her green eyes "You could have done anything for me. You did everything for me, Masab. But...but you couldn't spare his life for me. You mercilessly killed him."

She pushed him away and then turned around, facing away from him. Her gorgeous creamy shoulders relaxed and bent down as her body was trembling. Soon she again felt his warm and possessive embrace over her.

"Anyone who will come in between my way to you would have to see the same fate. It doesn't matter that he was that unlucky one. I would have dug the grave of anyone who would have been a hindrance for me, Andaleeb," he said in a husky voice in her ear.

"Death was not the only option," she snapped back.

He bit over her throat making her hiss. "I couldn't help. And you aren't going to talk about that guy again, Andaleeb. Do you understand?"

She sobbed and scrunched her nose. "I hate you."

He smirked against the skin of her shoulder. "You don't, sweetheart. You are fascinated by me. Calm down and just focus on us. He didn't deserve you. Focus on what I make you feel and what you like to think about. And you definitely want to think about me. Relax and go to sleep. Hmm?"

He peppered feather-like kisses over her shoulder blades, neck, and throat, causing her eyes to droop with each passing second by the soothe his touch was giving to her. His hand was tightly hugging her stomach while his lips were making her relax.

"I love you, sweetheart. Just think about us, and I know you are exactly doing that," after a while, he whispered in her ear, and without any doubt, she was just thinking about them.

Andaleeb just hummed in response while giving herself in his arms completely. It felt like he was her balm, he was her happy pill and he was her solace. Without Masab, she wouldn't be able to find anything worth living. His sweet kisses were intoxicating her and making her go further into the valley of sleep.

How ironic it was that she was discovering her own self and serenity in the man she hated the most. The man who killed the one she wanted to love and she was just saying that she despised him for the same reason. But who knew that instead of Aurang, Masab had taken her heart already. However, did she really hate him in the first place anymore? The answer was a big no.

Gently running his hand through her hair, Masab speculated whatever which had happened. Andaleeb was sleeping now in his arms. He could have easily made this night one of the best ones of his life if he had told her the truth regarding that particular night. If Andaleeb would get to know the horrors of that night, it would act as a blessed night for him. However, he wouldn't do that. His love was beyond any selfishness. She would hate herself more after knowing the truth. Everything would turn upside down for her. He liked her feral and rebellious. Guilt, embarrassment, and sadness wouldn't suit this beautiful girl at all. He wouldn't make him a hero at the cost of her tears anymore.

They were invited to a party arranged specifically for them as newlyweds by the staff of their company this weekend. This life was becoming so normal for her that she couldn't believe she was anticipating this party as this would be her first appearance with her husband.

Seeing how Hoorain was still trying to make moves over Masab, it was definitely raging her up. And maybe that was one of the reasons why she was feeling possessive of him as well. Things settled down after she talked to Masab about her nightmare for now. She didn't get that bad dream anymore. Maybe that statement was really a part of her imagination.

Yet one thing really hadn't changed, and that was whenever Aurang's memory came into her mind, her mind urged her to ruin everything, including the man who was ruining her everything. But every time, her heart came in between. Her heart which was in love with Masab and it would advocate in his favor despite how much wrong he had done. Her body which would always find solace in his presence, would never want to hate him.

Bi Jan had asked her specifically to get ready with more effort for this occasion. Andaleeb chose a copper brown colored saree for tonight. That was sheer and bright with a silvery brown blouse that would end just above her waist, revealing a bit of her soft skin. The sleeves were short and had an intricate pattern over them. She placed loose curls in her hair and let them fall freely over her shoulders. With minimal makeup and matching jewelry, she looked ethereal. Without any effort, Andaleeb's hands reached over to that lock and key-shaped locket as her wedding present, and she wore it. At last, she completed her look with golden high heels.

The door is slightly crooked, and then it is pushed open. Andaleeb's heart came into her throat as she was anticipating the one who she was sure would be here. She got ready for him for the first time after their wedding, and every time he showed his reaction to her mesmerized beauty, it took her off completely, and she wished to capture it forever in her heart.

This time, as well, when his eyes fell over her figure, they forgot how to blink away. Masab himself was looking handsome in a brown Armani suit matching her dress with his delicately combed hair giving him a mature look. He looked too hot right now, and Andaleeb had a weird wish in her heart to forget about going anywhere and throw herself into his arms.

His gaze darkened over at sight and then they filled with appreciation as Masab walked in her direction. He stood a few strides away from her and grabbed her hand.

"You look beautiful, sweetheart," he rasped, stroking the back of her hand with his thumb. Even this small touch and compliment was enough to move Andaleeb's heart.

"Just like a cool shadow on a scorching day of sunlight, just like a first tide of the sea, and just like the moonlight, you light up my life. I love you so much," he confessed, encircling her waist with his strong arm and pulling her closer.

His eyes didn't only have desire, his words weren't filled with lust. Instead, they were laced with love, appreciation, and adoration as he saw her so dolled up like this. Who would now deny that Masab loved her dearly? Not even Andaleeb, despite her full effort could do so. This realization that he loved her gave puffs of happiness to her heart. This guy claimed to be all hers, and somehow, a stubborn part of her wanted to become only his as well.

He placed a chaste kiss on her forehead. "I am so lucky to have you. You are definitely my relief, and you can't even imagine it."

She bit her lower lip. "I can never understand how can you love me so much. My hatred should have made you bored of me but---"

She had to stop when he put his finger over her lips, halting her from completing what she had to say. "Don't say this. I love you and I'll never get bored of you. Even if you only have hatred for me, I'll always consider it good luck for me that you became mine."

She gritted her brows. "You are saying as you are a victim and I am the bad girl who hates you for no reason and hurts you "

He softly smiled. "Where's the lie in the hurting part?"

She pressed her lips in humiliation. His chest still had faint marks on her nails. "What do you want from me, Masab?"

He brought her hand up and then brushed his lips against her knuckles. "I want your companionship, sweetheart. I just want you with me."

"But what if I say I don't it and I want separation from you? Will you give me freedom?" She inquired in a serious tone, causing his eyes to widen.
