✓In Trouble With The Mafia Brother (Completed)

Chapter 22

He was supposed to be my fiance but he saw me making out with his brother.

'So what? You are his halal and lawful wife now and he's your halal and lawful husband.' my conscience told me.

But still, he was soo hurt.

Why do I keep inclining towards that jerk anyways? He hurted Uzair and forced me to marry him by threatening my family. Not to forget, he's a gangster who breaks soo many laws all the time and hurts and kills people mercilessly. I wonder how much blood he has on his hands.

How can I even have any kind of feelings for such a person?

"Whatcha doin?" It was Taha.

"Um... nothing." I said jumping out of my thoughts.
"Someone's trying to be cool." I teased.

"What do mean trying?! I Am cool!" He retorted.

I giggled. "Ok ok... Mr cool dude."

He smiled.
"It's easy for you to smile but why is it easier for you to cry?"
He asked standing beside.

I just shrugged in response.

"You can't just shrug away your problems in life that you're confused about sis." He said ruffling my hair.

"Ow!" I complaint fixing them pouting. He grinned but then he got serious.

"I know it's none of my concern but....what happened today?"

I looked down on my hands.
"I did something I shouldn't have...and now I regret it."

"Hmm." He nodded.
"You know, Ruzhaan had always been that kind the guy who would give away his everything in a heartbeat for the people he loves but .....this is the first time I'm seeing him being selfish. And you know what? I like it!" He smiled.

I looked up at him confused.

"He entered this Mafia world not for himself to be able to survive, but also for us. That's why we all respect him soo much and every word from him is a written in stone command for us. He became our leader knowing he had to sacrifice his everything just so we could atleast have a better life. The so called law doesn't help outlaws like us. Ruzhaan taught us to stand ourselves. He's not a bad person Rahina. He's just....lonely, and that's why he needs you."

"No he doesn't! He just wants me so that he can make Uzair jealous." I snapped but saying that left a pang of ache in my heart.

"Do you still think so?"

"I know so!" I said sternly.

"Why don't you ask him that yourself?"

"Ask....him?"

"The most important thing in a relationship is communication sis. I care about you both equally. I won't like it if either of you had to walk away broken hearted."

I thought for a while.

Maybe he's right.

"Maybe.... I should give it a try."

"Good. Now you know where he must be right now, hm?" He smirked.

I nodded and turned to leave.
"BTW, it's really creepy getting relationship advice from someone who has never been in a relationship before. So...uh...get a life bro!"

"What the.... I tried to help you because I was worried about you and this is how you thank me by taunting me?! Bhalai ka toh zamana hi nahi raha!" (There's no use of goodness in this world anymore.)
I heard him yell behind me. I was giggling all the way going to the backyard where I knew I would find Ruzhaan. I really almost never had a decent conversation with him until now. There's soo much about him that I'm obviously about.

As I guessed, I found him lying on the grass in the lawn staring at the blank sky. I cleared my throat getting his attention and he quickly sat up startled.

I awkwardly sat beside him. We just sat like that looking around, long awkward silence...just the sound of crickets and other insects was in the air. I tried to break the silence...

"About the...."

But we both began at the same time. Now we looked at eachother.

"You go first." I said.

"No uh... you go first." He said.

"Huh...um.."

What do I say?

So I just took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry!" We again said in unison.

I looked at him shocked as I met his equally shocked gaze. But I had already decided to speak my heart out.
"Let me speak first."

He nodded.

"I shouldn't have done that. I... pushed you away and blamed everything on you but... I can't deny that I was a fault too. So I'm sorry..."

Now I looked up at him waiting for his reaction, but he looked away.

"I shouldn't have forced you either. I'm sorry."

"Why did you do that all of a sudden?" I asked abruptly

Damn my curiosity!

"Because I couldn't take it anymore. The way he looks at you, the way you're always together. I hate it! I don't even wanna see you standing beside him or... even speaking to him damn it! I just want you all to myself because your....my wife!"
As if his words weren't shocking enough but it made me gasp as how intently he looked into my eyes. I was completely spellbounded by his orbs.

I really can't get distracted by his sweet words.
"Aren't you doing this just to make Uzair jealous?!" I reminded him and he looked at me even more seriously.

"Is that what you really think of me?"

"Then what else should I think of you?" I said angrily.

We stared at eachother like that for a while until he smirked.
"Have you been walking around like that all day?"

He gestured towards my neck with his eyes. I was still confused. Was something wrong with my hair or maybe earrings? He took his phone out and opening the front camera held it in front of me.

My eyes widened and I covered my neck embarrassed. It was a hickey! OMG! Almost everyone would've seen it throughout the day. No wonder why everyone was giving me weird glances and smiling strangely? How did I not notice it myself?!

Oh God! Soo awkward!!!!!

He had the audacity to laugh?!?!?!

"Stop laughing you freak!" I yelled getting up immediately.
"I hate you! IDIOT!"

I stormed off to my room trying to cover it with my dupatta.

What's the use of covering it now!

That bloody psychopath!

I hate him!!!!!
