Entangled Love ✓

Chapter 19

"I..I don't know how I end up sleeping on your bed, maybe I walk in my sleep so..." I intentionally leave the sentence in between. Should I say sorry? But why? I have not come there in my awakened state. His moving hands on the towel stops and he glimpse at me through the mirror without turning back. He rolls his eyes and starts rubbing his hair more hardly with the towel. Is he mad? Of course, he would be. I have just taken his precious bed and he has to sleep on the couch due to me. It is painful for me to sleep on a small couch and he is hella taller than me. It would really difficult for him to sleep like that.

"So I am sorry, I guess, " I say while tiptoeing on my heels to peek at him as I am not able to look at his face.

"It's okay, I didn't mind, " he replies with a poker face straight away and goes to wardrobe who his suit in hand. My attention diverts to my phone when it begins ringing. I lift the phone up, my forehead furrows to find an unknown number on the screen.

'Zara, it's me, your father's friend and attorney Wajahat Ali. I have to talk to you regarding his will. Can we meet today? I know I am calling you so early, it not even a few days since your father has passed but it's really important.'

What happens, uncle? Is everything okay?

I inquire with concern. I really don't want to indulge in property and will process right now. It will give me more pain.

'Something terrible has happened. I'll tell you everything once you come to my office and don't tell anyone that you are coming here.'

With that, he disconnects the call. What has ensued? I blankly stare at the phone screen trying to remind what he has just said. He is the lawyer who has made Dad's will too.

"What happens? You are looking lost."

I came out of my thoughts when Armaan asks me. I don't acknowledge when he comes back after dressing up.

"No..nothing, I am fine, " I say hastily.

"Okay then, come for breakfast quickly." He says while buttoning his shirt.

"I am not hungry, " I reply, my mind still occupied by what Mr. Wajahat has said.

"Just come." He grabs my wrist and pulls me forward.

"Hey, you are hurting me, " I say trying to remove his strong hand from my wrist.

"You are hurting yourself more than this, " he mumbles and pulls me along with him.

He leaves my arm once we enter the dining hall. His father is already sitting there. I smile weakly at him prior to greet him.

"How are you, Zara? Have a seat, " he asks me. I hesitantly sit next to Armaan while rubbing my wrist with my other hand. I glare at him who is busy eating. Why he has to clench my wrist so tightly? I wasn't running away somewhere. Or perhaps I was.

"I am fine uncle, " I reply in a soft voice.

I toss my phone inside the handbag and stroll out of the room. Uncle and Armaan have already left for office and I can easily go to Mr. Wajahat's office. I don't understand why he has told me to not tell anyone about this. I rush towards the garage where the driver professionally asks me where I want to go. I have to do something so that I can drive the car myself. I don't want anyone to tell this to Armaan or his father.

"I want to drive the car myself, give me keys of this car, " I say pointing towards the white car in my front.

"Sorry ma'am but Sir Armaan won't allow me to do that, he has ordered me to not permit you to drive for now, " he replies.

I furrow my eyebrows at this in confusion. Why he has done this? It's not like I can't drive.

"He won't say you anything, I'll talk to him and now give me the keys already, " I raise my voice in the end.

"Just give it already or should I make you talk to him?" I say in frustration. He is now getting on my nerves.

"No ma'am! I'll give you, " he says apologetically and gives me the keys. Thank God.

Asslam o Alaikum! I hope you are doing fine. As I announced in my profile message, I will try to update this book 3 times a week as I am having a lot of free time these days due to lockdown. I know as soon as lockdown will uplift, it will again be the same hectic routine that won't allow me to concentrate fully on Wattpad so I want to give this book proper time and hardwork.

This chapter is short, I know but I want to unfold the secret in a separate chapter, and also I was feeling a need to give Zara's insight on the events happening in her life recently. I hope you like it. Don't forget to vote and comment. Allah Hafiz.
