Shanaya POV:

Don't cry, I am here. The words Hussain spoke cause me to calm down slowly, but his hand on my hand was leaving me with quick breaths again.

He had the right to touch me. He is my husband. The word so simple yet so powerful. And without a doubt I was scared all of sudden.

What if Hussain is forced into this marriage? I mean he is forced, but not because of me but because of Shehryar. It wasn't my mistake that we are here, while he dint even plan to marry before 25. But he is forced to marry me at 21... my mind added.

So what? I mean I am 20. It's not like I wanted any of this. But what if he hates that I am tied to him? What if he doesn't want this relationship. And what if he takes out his anger on me?!

Ugh! No!

These thoughts, these thoughts are just messing my mind up more!

I took a deep breath and stared down at our hands. His hand still on mine and my still under his warm hand. It was night time and I just wanted sleep to come, but I can't sleep. Sleep is nowhere near my eyes today. I looked out of the window and stared at the building pass by. It was all OK for another few minutes before I felt Hussain slowly make circles with his thumb on the back of my hand. My breath hitched in my throat as my eyes slowly returned to our hands on the seat. I dint dared to look up but what do I do? His thumb dint stop yet to make circles on my skin.

Do something! My mind said and to finish the feeling of how uncomfortable his small action was making me, I slowly pull my hand from under his.

A gasped of shock left my lips when he hold my hand, to stop me from pulling it away. My widened eyes automatically raised to see Hussain staring out of the window. He wasn't looking at me, but the hold he had on my hand was making me feel something.... fear.

I swear I don't like this feeling.

Suddenly the car came to an halt and I4 spun forward with a jerk. Hussain pulled my hand causing me to fall on him. I was shocked at sudden change of positions. As soon as my eyes met his. I was nervous. He looked down at me a small smile played as lips as I pull myself away. His eyes kept boring into mine as people approach us.

We are finally here. My new house. From here starts the life with Hussain. Door from both the sides opened and we were greeted by numerous people. Some I knew while others were completely stranger.

"ASALAMOALAIKUM!" Maha chimed happily and I smiled at little angel. Maha is Hussain's and Shehryar's only sister.

"WALAIKUMASALAM." I greeted as well and bend down so she could kiss my cheek. Soon I was entered the house and three girls took me to my new room. And just like that the nervousness was back. I kept my eyes lowered as girls makes jokes, like bhabhi bari khush lag rahi hai, bhabhi dare mat, bhabhi sharma rahi hai, Bhabi take a chill pill. And all that.

All the after welcome games and stuff was postponed to tomorrow, means it will be done while waleema ceremony. I stared at the room in front of me. White furniture and dim cream color painted walls. Everything was covered in red and mehroon sheets and table clothes. Beautifully  decorated room smelled like roses. It would have made me smile brightly if I was married to the one I had fallen for.

I can't smile.

"Bhabhi bhete na? Come sit." One girl pull my hand hand, making me sit on Hussain's bed. This feel so... strange. I was uncomfortable, but I did sat cause no matter what this is my new room as well as new life.

After five minutes of lighting the vanilla candles all over the room and switching off the lights, girls left. Now I was alone. Sitting on his bed, all I can do was become restless.

What if Hussain want to spend this night with me? The thought send shivers running down my spine. My hands started sweating. Fear took over all my senses as I think how will I decline anything he did. How would I say no to him.

Hussain and I were partially strangers. I have talked only once with him and that too on mobile. The fact that Hussain have arrived here in Pakistan just two days ago, wasn't helping at all. I had thought we would be able to know each other after marriage, but dint knew that this would happen. Everything has became....awkward. I rubbed my hands and took deep breaths. Loneliness started to eat me up again. I was alone with my terrifying thoughts.

"Beta, just take care of her." I heard Aunty voice behind door.

"Trust me Mom, I will." Hussain replied and with that the door opened. I stared down at my hands. My knees are near my chest, I clutched myself tightly. Only one question popping in my mind as Hussain close the door and then locked it. I shut my eyes and took deep breaths, trying my best to act normal and don't show how freaking scared I actually was. What exactly...

What exactly is going to come?
