MUSKAN'S POV

I decided not to go college from cafe so I took taxi and come back to home without knowing that a new tornado was waiting for me in the form of my father's anger.

When I was going to climb on stairs a loud and angry voice stopped me "Where were you?" Daddy asked and I felt my breath was stucked in my throat. Gathering my whole courage I tried to turn around but couldn't I was literally shivering.

"Muskan I'm asking something, you know very well I don't like to repeat my question" Daddy asked and I felt my heart was coming out of my chest.

"Daddy I was in college" I utter without stammering while looking down on the floor

" why are you coming this early!" He asked and I tried to be confident.

"Daddy I'm not feeling well, so I come back" I said and silently made my way to upstairs.

"Kon tha wo ladka jiske hatho main hatho thame tum college canteen main bethi hui thi?" My hands turned cold and my body lost its temperature.

(Who was the boy with whom you were sitting in college canteen holding his hans)

"Muskan" I listened that horrifying roar and turned around daddy was looking dangerous with his bloodshot eyes and forehead full of creases.

"No one daddy" I mutter with great difficulty and he took step towards the stairs.

"Was he Arham or Anzala? Or someone else?" Only I know the race of my heart, only I know how I was able to take breath. Daddy's deadly glare was enough to kill me.

"Muskan I'm asking something" Daddy said while pressing each and every word, and I knew there wasn't any benefit to lie, Because he will got to know about Arham by librarian.

"Daddy I... I was" I was saying but daddy glare me and

"Give me your mobile" He said and I literally gulped, I didn't had any other way except giving that to him, so I did so.

"Go to your room and take rest" saying that he turned towards his room and I was shocked that he did not even scolded me. I silently took step to the room, I was anxious but at the same time I was little satisfied too because my one sided love was buried inside my heart, no one knew about that so there wasn't any chance that daddy got to know anything. And I was satisfied for one more thing that I didn't had any type of conversation with Arham or any other boy so daddy won't get anything from my mobile.

But still I was anxious. I passed my whole day in my room, daddy didn't call me for lunch but Aunty gave me that in my room. When clock hands hit exactly half past seven I went downstairs for dinner. Daddy was already on dining table, he gestured me to took seat and I did so.

"When your exams are starting?" He asked and I looked at him

"It's going to start after twenty days" I replied and he hummed.

"Are you prepared?" He asked and I nodded while looking at him, he was sounding normal which wasn't normal at all.

"Almost prepared" I muttered while picking the dish from the table. That was our routine, no matter how much daddy become angry, he always eat when I serve him. I always serve him first then serve for myself. But that day daddy took the dish from my hand and serve for himself.

"Firdoos Bi" Daddy called her very loudly and she came out from the kitchen holding a serving bowl in her hands.

"Muskan bibi, I have made this for you" She placed noodles in front of me and daddy gesturesd me serve myself. That was something unusual for me but still I was silent as usual. I was silently having noodles and watching him every now and then.

I was scared because I was expecting a new death show in home but Daddy's silence and normal behaviour was making me more scared.

"Do you want ice cream?" That was a big shock for me. I wanted to say yes but my head automatically moved from left side to right.

"Hmm... Go and take rest" He said when I was done with my dinner I nodded and moved towards the kitchen to place my plate in sink.

"Aunty what is going on? Do you have any idea? Why daddy is treating me like a princess?" I asked and she shook her head without meeting eye with me, it seems like she was angry with me.

"Aunty what happened tell me something!" grabbing her arm I asked politely.

"Muskan I always love you like a daughter but you are not my daughter, actually I'm a servant of your home, your father had given me the responsibility of your upbringing. And today he told me that I become fail in that." Aunty said with disappointment and I left her arm.

" I'm sorry aunty" I muttered and she nodded while cleaning the kitchen counter and ignoring me.

"Aunty after Dadi (grandma) you are my only hope in this home." I said honestly and she looked at me.

"Go to your room, and call me if you need anything." I nodded while stepping out from the kitchen, daddy was going for his night walk which was his daily routine.

"Firdoos bi" that was almost a Roar.

"Ji bade sahab" She come out while running

(Yes sir)

"Take care of home, and I don't want any carelessness." Daddy order him very strictly and she nodded with down gaze.

"Take rest, if you need anything tell me" Daddy said lovingly just like he use to say in childhood.

"Daddy Umm.. My.. My mobile" I said in almost no voice.

"You will get that back soon. For now just focus on studies" saying that he left and I went to my room.

I wasn't able to sleep for whole night. On one side Arham love someone else and on the other side Daddy's unpredictable behaviour with me was enough to made my heart beat uneven. Somehow the whole night was passed and I got ready for college. I went to dining table to have my breakfast. Passing a toast to daddy I pour tea for him and picked a bread slice for myself. Daddy Placed milk glass in front of me and I silently drink that.

"Daddy I'm going Allah Hafiz" saying that I made myself stand to go, I had took just a few steps further when a voice stopped me.

"Go" I turned to saw daddy.

"But not college go to your room" I listened that and shrugged in confusion.

"But it's my...." he didn't let me complete

"Go to your room, Start to study for exam, now you will go college only to give your exams and after exams your marriage with Samad is final." I turned completely towards him, my mouth was slightly open.

"Daddy" I mumble left from my mouth.

"Daddy please... I.. I don't like Samad." I mumbled, my lips were trembling "I Feels scared of him.. Please" I added and a tear rolled down from my eyes.

"Go to your room. There are Only few days left for you in this home enjoy these last few days with your father" Daddy said while rolling the corner of his moustache and I felt my heart was going to stop.

"Daddy my exam... I mean I have to attend the lecture" I said and he nodded.

"Your syllabus is completed, only query classes are running, stay home." He ordered and gesturesd me towards stairs and unwillingly I climbed up while wiping my tears.

THIRD PERSON'S POV

"Baat mat kar mujhse." Showing the first finger Maizah said while grinding her teeth with full of anger, after having dinner they both were present in lawn and all the family members were present in hall.

(don't talk to me)

"Mazi hua kya hai kuchh to Bata teen din ho gaye baat kyu nahi kar rahi?" Anzala asked when he was really frustrated.

(Mazi what's the point of your rudeness? Why aren't you talking to me since three days?)

"Anzu I'm regretting... I'm really regretting by taking the decision in your favour, this marriage is the most inappropriate decision of my life" She said before running to her room. For a moment Anzala was shocked but he also moved after her with long steps.

"Maizah what happened?" when Anzala went behind her, he listened everyone asking the same, but Maizah didn't stop for anyone and climbed the stairs

"Anzala.. What's going on?" everyone asked in unison but he run behind Maizah.

"Ho kya raha hai in dono ke beech?" Rashid asked when witnessed Anzala running behind Maizah

(What is happening in between them?)

"They always fight in the same way, what's new in this?" Rumi said while rolling her eyes and everyone nodded.

"Let me see, it shouldn't be like this that they start arguing again" Gul said with disappointment and took steps towards the stairs but stopped by the order of Abdul Gafur.

"Gul let them solve their problems. Now They are not cousins who needs you to solve their problems" Everyone nodded on the command of head of the family.

"Maizah what do you mean that you are regretting by this decision" stepping in Maizah's room Anzala asked in single breath.

"Anzala get out from my room." Maizah said while pointing towards the door but Anzala shook his head and closed the door behind himself.

"Tell me what's your problem Mazi? Since three days you are making me roam around you but not talking to me. Not even a single word." Anzala shouted on her making her more angry.

"Why are you roaming around me? Who is saying you to roam around me?" Maizah shouted back and Anzala glared her.

"Maizah I'm frustrated now." Anzala shouted while grabbing his own hair on fist.

"So who's saying you to be frustrated because of me? You have many options, Anaya, Mansha, Muskan, and your new centre of attention that Tahora... You have a lot of options in front of you. Why are you trying to talk to me? You have a big population of lovers!" Maizah asked with anger and pushed Anzala with both hands. After listening what Maizah said suddenly his anger flew away. He lost his balance due to Maizah's pushing but suddenly maintained that

'Yaar... Understanding these girls is impossible!' Anzala said to himself looking at the one who was standing with crossed arms on her chest, only her back was facing Anzala. He sat down on bed holding his head. slowly grabbed her arm he pulled her towards bed, first she protest but then Anzala forcefully pulled her, she sat down besides him but still angry.

"Mazi"

"Maizah..." She still ignore.

"Meri chudail"

(My witch)

This time she looked at him, not with love filled gaze but... With anger filled gaze

"I'm not chudail(witch), call them chudail (witch) who roam around you and whom you like very much" Maizah's jealousy was clear from her words.

"Yaar they are so sweet, they aren't chudail (witch), but you are my chudail" Anzala said while grabbing her hand firmly in his

"Anzala you and your flirting nature will not be change ever, you were flirting with girls in front of me. Shame on you" She said with anger and try to pull her hand but Anzala was holding that firmly.

"Maizah wh..." She didn't let him say anything

"Other day Anaya was calling you Anzu and you were busy in praising her lipstick. You like Mansha's smile, Anaya's style, Neha's eyes, Muskan's innocence, Tanya's lips... But you don't have time to notice what do you like about me." Maizah didn't realise what she babbled in flow and Anzala realise the real reason of her anger.

"Maizah look at me" He said while lifting her chin with first finger And she looked at him with hopeful eyes.

"Mazi your these eyes... Your orbs" He whispered while creeping closer to her and cupped her face with both hands. For a moment she was shocked. "Your rosy cheeks" caressing her cheeks with his fingers he mumbled without breaking the eyelock, which gave chill to Maizah. "Mazi your long, black, silky, shiny hair..." he mumbled while Maizah felt his hand moving down from her cheek to the back of neck, he slowly run his fingers in her hair making her breath hitched. Maizah clenched her dupatta in her fist because Anzala was just an inch away from her lips, and his gaze was melting her. "Maizah your lips, these pink, soft lips" Anzala mumbled while gripping Maizah's nape and pulled her gently, their noses were touching each other. "Mazi" He whispered and Maizah's heart skipped a beat, her breath become uneven when his lips approached towards her.

'What is he doing?' her heart asked while running very fast, but she clenched her dupatta in both fists and closed her eyes when felt Anzala's lips almost touching hers.

Anzala looked at her face with a smile, he gripped on her nape firmly, Maizah's heart skipped a beat and her frame was covered by goosebumps.

"Mazi" He mumbled and she felt his cheek touching on hers, she slowly open her eyes.

"Your eyes, hair, lips and cheeks... I don't like anything in you" He whispered in her ear to tease her and she suddenly creeped back while glaring him

"If..if you don't like a.. Anything in me then w-why are you wasting your time here" Saying that she hurriedly made herself stand and took step ahead but her wrist was catches by her husband and a sudden pull by him made her disbalance and she collided with his chest. His both arms gripped around her waist protectively

"I'm wasting my time on you because you are my wife." he whispered wholeheartedly near her face.

"I'm just flirting with them but you are my wife, your status is thousand times above than all of them in my life" He said with a smile and kissed her forehead.

"It means you won't stop flirting with other girls" she asked with anger and he left her from his grip before scratching the back of his nape

"Anzala I'm asking something... Will you stop flirting with other girl or not" she asked angrily

"Mazi.. I.. I want.." He asked in slow voice.

"What.. What do you want.. First answer me." She grabbed his collar.

"I want a kiss" He mumbled and she was shocked

'Is he become mad?' she asked to herself but maintain an egotistical face

"Don't try to flirt with me" She said with anger.

"If not with you then I'll do flirt with other girls." Anzala said with a smirk and made himself stand after shrugging his shoulders.

"Anzala...." She glared him.

"Maizah" He passed the same glare.

"I hate you Anzu"

"I know... That's why I'm trying to finding out love from other girls." He said with a wink and Maizah took steps away from him but he suddenly embrace her in his arms.

"We are in this room since half an hour, what will our family think..." he whispered in her ear just to tease her

"Don't worry They all know we can't do anything except fighting with each other" Maizah said while glaring him but he squeezed her in his arms and plant a kiss on her forehead.

"Nothing like this chudail... We can do something else too" Anzala said with a smirk and Maizah looked at him with confusion, but before she could understand the meaning of his words she felt his lips on hers, that was a small peck but Maizah was shocked.

"Anzala" she mumbled with wide eyes

"Yes Mrs. MAIZAH ANZALA RIZWI" He utter with a proud smile.

"I Hope you must be understand now that we can do something else too... Except fighting" Saying that with a wink Anzala run his fingers in his hair and went out from the room. Maizah placed her hand on her heart which was ready to come out at any moment..

"What was that" she mumbled and try to calm down her heart.

"Momina, we should announce their marriage as soon as possible" Rashid said to his wife when witnessed Anzala coming out from Maizah's room with a smirk on his face. Only his Expressions and smirk were enough to tell his parents what Maizah and Anzala were doing.

===================

After 20 Days

Arham was worried since twenty days because neither muskan was coming to college nor she was responding to any call and messages of him.

"Arham I'm very tensed" Anzala said but that guy was lost in the thoughts of Muskan.

"Arham..." Anzala shook his shoulder and he come out from the world of thoughts

"Hmm.."

"I'm tensed" Anzala repeated and Arham nodded without knowing the reason of his anxiousness. But Anzala was worried because that was their first exam and due to Rumi's marriage Anzala as well as Maizah weren't focusing on studies.

"Where is my Musu cat?" Maizah asked when the exam was going to start but there wasn't any clue about Muskan.

"Don't know where is she? I met her father last night when I went for jogging, I asked about Muskan but that man is half crack... He didn't said anything and left from there completely ignoring me" Arham informed Maizah which was undigestable for her but suddenly she smiled

"Musu cat... I was waiting for you" Maizah almost yelled and run towards her, but Muskan didn't smiled at all.

"What happened?" Maizah asked and suddenly her gaze went to Arsalan Haidar who was standing behind Muskan.

"What your father is doing inside college campus?" Maizah asked and Muskan ignored her question while taking steps towards the classroom.

"Musu cat?" that was a question in disbelief

"Muskan I have to talk to you" as soon as Arham noticed her, he said in single breath but Muskan looked at him with wide eyes.

"Daddy" She mumbled while passing by him and Arham noticed The big mustached man standing near the door of classroom.

"What this Hitler is doing here?" Arham mumbled with anger but couldn't do anything.

Soon the exam was started, Arsalan Haidar took permission to stay outside the examination hall, that wasn't anything difficult for him, after all he had good sources everywhere. His sharp gaze was fixed on Muskan. Soon the exam was over.

"Muskan how was your exam?" Maizah and Anzala asked and she stopped to talk to them but.

"Muskan" that was a loud roar which made the whole class scared.

"Coming Daddy" Muskan mumbled and took steps out from the classroom.

"Arham" Muskan muttered when passed by him.

"Muskan where is your mobile?" Arham asked in whispered but Thankfully Arsalan Haidar didn't notice because Arham's back was visible to him.

Muskan wanted to reply but couldn't.

"How was your exam?" Muskan listened her father's question

"It was good daddy" She said nervously

"Hmm...Good lets go" Arsalan Haidar said while glancing at Anzala, Arham and Maizah who were trying to talk to Muskan but they all were helpless.
