Kulsum's POV-
I was about to go home and crash but I got a call from a senior citizen who was an old man.
He was staying in a hotel and couldn't make it to my clinic, so Emir and I went over to his hotel and I gave him the required therapy.
I actually felt so glad, he was such a sweet and warm person and he even paid me double the amount I charged.
I got out of his room along with Emir, and just then I heard a familiar voice in the lobby.
It was a female voice but I couldn't hear what she was saying.
I turned around and I wished that the ground would open up and swallow me!
I witnessed Abdul Razzaq getting into one of the hotel rooms, and then I realised....that voice was none other than Esra's.
He went inside and closed it while my heart shattered into million pieces.
Was Emir telling the truth?
"Kulsum, you okay?" Emir interrupted my bubble of thoughts.
"Uh- yeah, yes of course." I lied.
There were million things churning inside my mind.
Could he actually be cheating on me?
He wouldn't right? But somehow I'm having a hard time trusting him.
But then again, why would I care if he even cheats on me?
It's just for 7 months anyways....
Emir dropped me home and I anxiously walked up to my room.
I swear I'll kill Esra!
It shouldn't bother me! But somehow it is bothering me!
No, it's wrecking me up!
I hurriedly changed into my night wears and hit the lights off.
But I couldn't sleep, the thought of Abdul Razzaq with Esra was making me sick to my stomach.
I was walking back and forth when the door flew opened and there entered Abdul Razzaq with his usual ice cold expression.
Only this time, I could sense the rage burning up behind his ocean blue eyes.
He started approaching me as I gulped.
I started stepping back as he lept forward, his eyes darting mine.
My back finally hit the walls as his feet brushed against mine and his arms caging me in his peiskos like embrace.
His eyes darkened as he clenched his jaw. "Where were you?" He whispered as his voice grew dark.
He sounds so dangerous, I'm having a feeling that he would slay me right here.
"I could ask you the same thing." I lifted my head.
"Answer the question Kulsum, don't play games with me." He rolled his eyes.
"I'm not playing games, you can't just show up here and ask me where I was while you're not explaining to me either." I breathed.
He just flared his nostrils and pulled away and I could sense a disappointing rage in his eyes.
I don't know why is he behaving like this! In fact I should've been the one interrogating him.
"Out of all the obnoxious things you did, this one is on top of the list. I did not expected this from you." He made a disappointing expression.
Wait what!? First he cheats on me and then blame me for something I don't know what!
If he thinks he'll just come up to me and loathe about me.....he's wrong because I won't tolerate it.
"Alright now you listen to me! First you won't spit what've I done, and then you spit filthy words about me.
And second who the hell are you to judge me when you yourself are a maladorous man. You first justify your actions and then lecture me okay!" I raised my voice at him as my blood boiled.
I'm done! I've heard and tolerated enough! He can't just come up to me and accuse me of something and utter such lousy things about me!
"You're right. I shouldn't have even talked to you. There you are again....playing the Victim card to save yourself and gain sympathy." He scoffed.
"You know what!? I don't wanna talk to you! In fact I don't even want to see your face!" I exclaimed as the words spitted out of my lips furiously.
"I'm glad we finally agree on something." He rolled his eyes and went to his side of the bed.
I honestly hate him! I despise him! I thought I'd somehow ask him about today because I was comforting myself by thinking that maybe I saw someone else.
But he always have to make things worse for me!
It's now clear that it was him!
Tears stung in my eyes as I reached for the bed and covered my head with the blanket.
But I didn't let the tears flow.....I retained them!
I swore 14 years ago that no matter what happens, I won't cry!
I hate crying, I hate tears! Crying is for losers, and I'M NOT A LOSER! I'M NOT WEAK!

The next day-
Abdul Razzaq's POV-
I woke up to witness Kulsum absent from the room.
I checked the bathroom but it was empty.
I took a shower and headed downstairs to find Kulsum setting the dining table.
She lifted her long lashes as her hazel-honey coloured eyes met mine.
The hem of her hijab flowed by the zephyr which made her 10 times more graceful and ravishing.
I try to be mad at her but somehow I can't! I don't know how or why but whenever I see her all the rage inside my heart vanishes like the moon eliminates darkness.
I don't know what I feel but I just can't stay mad at her for too long, even if I want to!
"Ahem....Razzaq canim (dear) if you're done checking her out, please eat your breakfast now." My mother interrupted as she chuckled.
I blinked and snapped my head at her.
Why is everyone in this house makes me so embarrassed in front of her!?
I just lowered my gaze as I sat down to eat. I glanced at her from the corner of my eyes and her cheeks turned into a fine shade of pink.

Later that evening-
My entire family and Esra were seated in a 7 star luxurious restaurant as very important directors have come to visit us from Saudi Arabia when they found out about my wedding.
Kulsum was sitting beside me as she ate from one hand and her other palm was clutching into her Abaya.
"Mr. Razzaq, I'm so glad that I finally got a chance to meet you again. I got here as soon as I found out about your wedding." One of the directors Mr. Aziz Sheikh said as he parted his chicken.
"I'm glad you could make it. It's been my honour." I smiled slightly.
"Your wife is a very sophisticated woman Mr. Razzaq, you two make a very beautous couple Mashallah." He smiled.
At this, Kulsum coughed and it got severe, I gently carcassed her back as I made her drink water.
"Easy there melekim, everything's fine." I whispered sarcastically as I smirked slightly.
She glared at me with her eyes widened as Mr. Aziz's wife spoke up.
"Aww Mashallah, you both are so lovely. See dear, how much he cares for his wife." She said as she nudged his arm.
"Well of course, may they be together till jannah." He smiled.
I gazed into her big hazel eyes which replicates pureness of her heart.
A part of me wishes to gaze her like this forever.
Get a grip. Remember your contract! It's just for 7 months.
Besides she just looks innocent, she's just a deceitful, manipulative liar.
But her eyes says something else.....is she really who I think she is or who my heart feels she is?
