Baby, you light up my world like nobody else. The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed. But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell. You don't know,
You don't know you're beautiful

<<nuraan's p.o.v>>
I looked at her petite figure as she stormed out of my room closing the door with a loud bang making me curse under my breath.
Fuck.
The hell did I just do? Sighing I rubbed my face with my palm in agitation. Seriously, Nuraan? You really did that to her? Turning towards the glass door of the balcony I looked at the way it was raining heavily with loud sounds of thunder and bright lights of the lightnings. Rain. I always admired it but today all of a sudden everything feels gloomy.
I know what I did was wrong. Actually no. Wrong would be an understatement for what I did. I knew I hurt her bad with my words. And I also knew how I didn't mean a single shit I said. I can't help it okay! I guess I've just known the girl enough to know the kind of a pure soul she is. I knew which, where and how my words would hit her.
And that was intentional.
She is sweet and understanding. That's written all over her face but one things such innocent girls always hide behind them is the intensity of self respect they have within themselves. And with her it wasn't difficult to understand what her breaking point would be either.
To be honest the way she turned wild fighting for that respect she deserves, trying to put me in my place and showing who she is just made me admire her a thousand time over. That. Was. Attractive. She knew what she was. She knew what she deserves and she knew when to put a stop to other's shits.
"I did it for my husband."
To say those words left me speechless would be an understatement and at that moment what went through my mind was beyond my understanding. Like literally. She was mad at me and what I said but the only thing both my mind and heart could put a finger on was the small light of happiness the rushed through me when she said those two words without hesitation- my husband.
As cheap as I sound I really felt that way, making me flip at myself harder and the urge to stay away from this little small bubble of happiness intensify at a different level. I know it was very mean of me to tag her emotions as 'drama' but I also knew there was no other way to make her stay away. Than to hurt the thing she cherishes the most.
Her Self-respect.
My head snapped towards the direction of the door the moment it was threw open by yet another loud bang. At first I thought maybe it was just the wind but then my eyes landed on that tiny figure that stood by it. I couldn't help but raise a brow at her. Her fair complection was red from all the crying making the guilt hit me.
She kept whispering something to herself in an inaudible animatic manner before her eyes snapped towards me and she took a deep breath and pointed her index finger at me.
"You may be what so ever rich dude you are but get this fact straight behind that bushy hair of yours Mr. Nuraan Khan, the next time you speak to me that way would be the last time you'd be able to speak and THIS is a threat, a warning and an advice for the future!"
I couldn't help but look at her with amusement. What? It's not always that a little 4 feet something comes around threatening me in probably their most deadliest way possible. At least that's what they think. I blinked staying quiet as she rushed with her words.
"I meant every word I said when I said that you're an insensitive jerk and that you don't have any right to question my character and whatsoever, because well let's just admit it that you really and I mean it! Reallyyy acted as a big time jerk and an asshole all together and your words were harsh and did hurt me, but!" She stopped taking a deep breath and then resumed. "But what I said was harsh too! I shouldn't have said what I said after I said 'Insensitive jerks like you' blah blah blah! That was rude. No one deserves to say such words to anyone. It was evil! An-and very very cruel of me and therefore that explains why I, Raqeeba Hussain am standing in front of you sincerely apologising for my awfully uncanny and eerie behavior towards you a while ago."
Her head hung low after she was done with her apology. To say I was stunned would be and understatement. I was speechless. Dumbstruck. Shocked. All my life I had met a zillion of people but not once did some strike out like this bubble of joy. My respect for her grew the very moment she stood up for herself and after this I have no idea of how to put words to my feelings.
The more I get to know her the more difficult it becomes to keep her away. It's like an invisible magnetic force which keeps pulling me towards her no matter how hard I try. It took every nerve in me to go away from her three months back. I knew she'd manage to make me feel things I long want to forget and burry. I knew staying would be a wrong decision.
It's almost impossible for any sane man to resist the charm she carries. No she's not that authoritative, composed and collected female protagonists people search for. She's clumsy, childish and weird but she still manages to carry a grace of herself. A grace people look for. A grace they'd want to chase.
A grace so addictive.
My mouth kept opening and closing like that of a fish. After everything I said and did here she is apologizing for the little spect of words she said. What is she made of? I'd be lieing if I say her words didn't affect me but then I knew I deserved it. Clearing my throat I straightened up but before I could speak again my words god struck in my throat the moment her fierce gaze met mine and she said.
"Now don't flatter yourself! I apologized because I was wrong and NOT because YOU were right!" She stopped as if trying to figure out her own words before shaking her head and continuing.
"I-I mean I was right! No, wait! Yaa! YOU were wrong the entire time but I was right for the first half and wrong for JUST the second half and I apologise for the second half and not for the first! Did you get it yo- you bi-- you big bimbo!"
Never in my life have I ever felt the urge to laugh at someone so much. Call me insensitive but I can't help but be amused at the thousands of experessions that take over her face at every second. Sometimes I can't help wonder how can someone be so innocent. A small smile escaped my lips even before I could stop it, my eyes couldn't help but focus at every delicate feature which adorned her face. She was beautiful. And with all honesty she looked... hot when angry.
Geez Nuraan! Stop being a pervert!
A gasp escaped her lips as she glared at me, her jaw cleanched as she pouted a little. Honestly anyone could have managed to make this expression look comical but her... She just managed to break every sense of control I was trying to have on myself.
And it's torturous.
"I shouldn't have come." She said and before I know she turned on her heels stomping away.
"No." The words left my mouth in an inaudible whisper.
You shouldn't leave.
<<raqeeba's p.o.v>>
Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
Superrrrr Stupid!
What the hell was I thinking!? Going around apologizing to that not-so-good-of-a-human! I mean ok fine! I apologised! But couldn't I JUST apologize! Well of course NOT. I am The Raqeeba Hussain and I just have to bicker the life out of me being the walky-talky-parrot I am! Geez!
And that guy! Oh god! That bloody Doofus had the mother-fuckin-audacity to smile at me when my mind was literally bursting inside my head! Stupid ding ding dickhead!
Seriously Raqeeba? Ding ding? What is wrong with you and what's with that language---
Not now, conscience. Shut up!
Wiping the tears of frustration and anger roughly away from my face I continued stomping my way to my room cursing my not-so-good-good-for-nothing-husband in my mind when all of a sudden I felt a hand wrap around my upper arm and before I know I am turned around making my eyes meet those familiar blue ones.
Clenching my jaw I pulled my hand away from his grip. What does he want know? Laugh at me?
"Raqee---" I didn't bother hearing him out as I just turned on my heels ignoring his upcoming words. Being the self obsessed person he is I'm sure he's just here to tell me of how he forgives me and all.
"Raqeeba wait." This time he grabbed my wrist stopping me from going further as he came around standing in front of me.
"What?" I practically barked making me cringe at my voice and him wince. Oops. Too loud was it?
He sighed before looking down at his feet and releasing his hand which held mine as he said. "Look I really appreciate how you apologize---"
I knew it! See!
"Save it." I said raising my hand and stopping him in between "I don't need you to brag about how amazing of a person you are for forgiving me."
He frowned at my words asking. "What do you mean?"
Justin Bieber.
Shut up!
Rolling my eyes at him I tried walking away only to be stopped, yet again. Both his hands wrapped around my upper arm as he pulled me closer towards him.
"At least listen to me--" I didn't let him complete
"Listen what Nuraan! Guess what!
I didn't--"
"Can you just stay calm---"
"-- apologize to you so I could have your forgiveness--"
"I know that! I just---"
"--I apologised for my SELF SATISFACTION! Do you get me? I apolo---"
"GOD JUST SHUT UP!" This time his loud voice boomed around the entire floor making me jump a little as a sudden wave of horror surrounded me. My mouth went dry as I could already feel goosebumps. Guess I shouldn't speak much when I'm practically a scardy-little-cat from inside.
His eyes showcased a lot of emotions but most of them being anger? Great it's like I just awoke a beast. I sucked in a breath when I felt his grip on my arms tighten as he pulled me closer. To close making our nose practically touch each other.
OH MY GOD!
Couldn't you just stay quiet and listen to him. Bloody drama queen.
I could feel my insides churn at our close proximity as my eyes zeroed at his perfectly shaped lips before they met those sparkling blue orbs. My heart started thumping loud the moment I felt him lean closer making all the anger and fear inside me disappear. My right hand raised slowly as I gently placed it on his cheek making him lean against my touch while my left rested on his chest. His hot breath hit my lips making me close my eyes in anticipation when the memories of our first kiss pictured in front of my eyes.
"You think the kiss meant something to me? Don't flatter yourself, Wife."
My eyes shot open at that horrible memory and before I know I quickly pushed him away making him stumble slightly while I took a step back. I know where this ends! It happened last time and I'm not gonna let it happen again. It would mean nothing to him and here I will be left with nothing but daydreaming and planning the stupid sweet life of our great grand children!
Slow down, Women.
Shut. The. Fuck. Up!
I don't trust him, yes. But more than him. I don't trust myself.
There was silence for what seemed like ages and the only thing heard was the loud sound of rain pouring down and the thunder that came along with it. I couldn't even look into his eyes as I kept my gaze fixed on my bare foot, occasionally shifting from one leg to another.
I could feel his burning gaze right on my face making me lick my dry bottom lip out of nervousness. Why on earth is he starting!
"Don't " My head snapped at his direct as I frowned. "Huh?" He didn't say anything but just shook his head. He was about to step forward but stopped as soon as he saw me take a step back. A sudden emotion swirled through his eyes which I couldn't put a finger at. Sighing he stepped back with his head down as he nervously scratched the back of his neck and said.
"I'm sorry." His voice wasn't loud but at the same time it wasn't a whisper either. It was enough for me to hear. A sudden wave of guilt hit me the moment he said those words.
That's what he wanted to say?
See. If only you would've heard him!
I could feel my cheeks get warm with embarrassment. Ugh! I should've just heard him rather than mindlessly bursting out!
"Oh." Was all I could say. Should I apologise?
Yes.
No.
Yes!
Noo!
It's wrong to make assumptions about someone just like that!
Nope.Not when they completely serve you with that right.
Shut up!
You shut up!
No you shut---
"I'm sorry." I shook my head "I-I guess I really over reacted back then. I'm-I'm sor---" i said looking down at my feet but before I could complete he cut me in making me look at him
"Don't be. I gave you a reason to be mad at me. And yaa. You shouldn't have apologized. For all I know. I was the only one at fault." He chuckled.
Okay, Dude! Stttooppp! My heart is a big-time softie! And I'm already feeling guilty and regretful! ALREADY!
Ishh
I hate myself sometimes!
He gave me a soft smile before turning on his heels going towards the stairs making me frown
"Where are you goin?" I asked. He just shrugged. "Water" My mouth formed an 'O' as I nodded and looked at his retreating back when he all of a sudden halted on his steps. Looking over his shoulder at me as he said.
"You were wrong, Raqeeba. I do deserve it."
