The guilt ridden Adnaan was sitting in his room, trying to sleep but that was impossible for him, whenever he was closing his eyes Sara's tearfilled eyes were again and again coming in front of him. He was hell cruel but somewhere there was a spot in his heart which felt hurt whenever he give pain to Sara. He was trying to find out a single reason due to which he hated Sara that much but there wasn't anything except childhood teasings, quarrelling and arguments. During childhood There was a stubbornness between both of them to create problems to made each other annoyed and that stubbornness leaded that mild hatred but Adnaan was taking that mild hated to an extreme level. He was busy in his thoughts when listening small voice from outside, throwing all the thoughts aside he went towards the door of room and peeped out.

"Now what's this nonsense?" He muttered and sighed while going back to bed. Sara was sitting on sofa holding a cup of tea in her hand and a novel in other hand, she was yawning with half close eyes but reading the novel.

"She is mad as same as childhood but now her presence around me is making me mad!" Adnaan mumbled and soon he was sleeping peacefully without knowing the reason behind Sara's midnight reading!

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

"Ammi forced me to get married so, that I could get meal on time but here I'm arranging hers" Adnaan muttered while coming back to home after buying butter, bread, eggs and milk for her breakfast. He placed the all those things in fridge and drew out all the cereal and flour containers from his room which he hide yesterday. Sara was sleeping on the couch of living room, the novel was covering her face, four empty cups of tea were laying there.

"Chuhiya" Adnaan rolled his eyes and picked those cups and made his way back to his room to get ready for office. Standing in front of mirror he was wearing shirt when noticed the nail marks of his wife which were present on his chest, collar bone and neck.

"Ye chuhiya nhi, jangli billi hai" Touching those half healed wounds He muttered and smirked when remembered how they both were.

(She is not mouse but wild cat)

Smiling like mads he buttoned up his shirt, but suddenly "Why are you smiling?" looking towards himself in mirror he asked, after stopping his heart to think about her he pick his laptop and checked the emails in mobile. Stepping out from the room he found her still sleeping, she is such a bat, she was awake whole night but sleeping now" Rolling his eyes he close the curtains as well as lights. Her face was still covered with the book, kneeling down in front of her he picked the book slowly and... "Troy..." she mumbled and Adnaan furrowed his brows "Who is Troy? Her boyfriend?" He muttered with confusion and scratches his back, somewhere he was shmure that Sara didn't had any boyfriend but that name confused him. "I hate you Troy" Sara muttered and Adnaan was confused, he looked at, the name if book that was Far from the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy. "Oh God she is talking about Sergeant Troy of this Novel! Such a mad she is" Adnaan felt irritation with that thinking but placed the book on table before covering Sara with a blanket which was laying down on floor. But Sara turned her side and grabbed his hand in deep slumber.

"What's she doing? Idiot, duffer, mad" He muttered and pulled his and away while making an unpleasant face.

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

Sara woke up in afternoon, the dim light coming inside the room through sheer fabric of floral print curtains was making whole environment so relaxing and calm, she smiled while hugging the pillow but suddenly realised that she was covered with blanket which she intentionally throw away from herself. She noticed the novel placed on the Centre table and the empty cups of tea were nowhere.

"He isn't this much good to take care of mine but why he is doing this? Now there isn't anyone whom he want to show all these things!" throwing the blanket from herself she mumbled and stood up. After freshen up she went to kitchen and found all the containers on their correct place.

"It's not normal, he is planning something but this time I won't let him get success!" Sara muttered but made breakfast for herself and again started reading the book. She didn't realised when two hours passed while reading that book when the door bell was rang and when she open the door Adnaan was standing there holding a tired face. They both glare each other and Sara made her way back to living room. Adnaan throw himself in couch and glare her who was still busy in reading book.

"Jab koi ghar aata hai to use pani dete hain... Itna bhi nhi pta kya?" Adnaan asked with anger and Sara didn't bother to lift her gaze.

(Don't you know that one should give water to others when they come home)

"Biwi se baat karne ka bhi koi treeqa hota hai, itna bhi nhi pta kya? Pehle apni knowledge theek kro baad me mujhe sudharna" Sara said and Adnaan closed his eyes while running his fingers through his hair.

(Don't you know the way to talk with your wife? First learn manners by yourself after that teach me)

"Tu meri biwi ban'ne layaq hi nhi hai."

(You're not worth to be my wife)

"I do agree. I'm not worth to become your wife because you should get a cruel girl just like you" Saying that Sara close the book with a loud voice and placed that on coffee table before glaring him.

"Tomorrow few of my colleagues are coming to meet you, so get ready and cook something good for them" Adnaan said and Sara smirked while placing his right leg on left one, she leaned forward little bit and smiled sweetly.

"What do you think I'm a dummy? Whenever you want to show me to others I'm your wife and after that you don't even care about me! Wasn't I your wife when you throw me in other room? Wasn't I your wife when you hide everything to eat? And what about that when I was asking for forgiveness in front of you without any of my fault." Sara's expressions were changed to anger and she let a harsh sigh out.

"Now I'm behaving fine with you but you're provoking me to behave in same way" Adnaan said with anger but Sara laughed bitterly.

"I was thinking same that what would be the reason behind your kind behaviour but now I understand that you have to invite your colleagues" Sara said and Adnaan grit his teeth.

"Go to hell, it was my fault that I thought to become better with you" Saying that Adnaan stood up from his place and went to his room, but Sara went to kitchen to cook dinner but only for herself. After some time when Adnaan came out from the room he found Sara having dinner. He glare her which she effectively ignored and quickly plated the empty plate in kitchen sink.

"Where is my dinner?" Trying to find out something to eat but didn't get anything to eat.

"I had made just an egg roll for myself" Saying that Sara went to couch her room and close the door, Adnaan was gawking at her with confusion.

"I'll kill this chuhiya.." he mumbled out of frustration "No not chuhiya but Jangli billi" He corrected himself and let a cold sigh out trying to calm down himself and ordered a cheese pizza.

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

NEXT MORNING

Adnaan stepped out from his bedroom and did not found Sara on the couch of living room,, that was little bit strange for him because since many days she was sleeping on the couch. Going towards other bedroom he found Sara sleeping, she wasn't lying on the bed but sitting on the floor resting her back with wall and the same novel was laying in her lap. Two mugs of coffee and a cup of tea were placed here and there of her side.

" idiot, duffer! Can't she sleep properly on bed?" He muttered and stepped towards her, just to turn off the AC but Adnaan didn't released when he hit the glass tumbler placed on the floor and that was broken in few pieces.

" What the f*ck, why she can't do anything correctly, is this the place to put glass?" Adnaan said out of frustration but Sara's slumber was very deep she didn't woke up. Adnaan turn off the AC while glaring her "It seems like her brother will pay the electricity bills" Mumbling that he turned to go to his room.

"Jise dhundta hu main har kahin

Jo kabhi mujhe mili hai nahi

Mujhe jiske pyaar par ho yaqi

wo ladki hai kahan?"

Singing the song he went to Bathroom and got busy in taking shower while singing same song. After short shower he wear his formal clothes and went to kitchen to make his own breakfast but he listened a weird voice like someone was crying. He stepped toward Sara's room and his eyes became wide because the while marble floor was converted into deep red because of blood oozing out from her foot.

"Andhi hai kya? Ye kya kara tu ne?" Adnaan almost shouted and moved towards Sara, she was sitting on the bed watching her foot.

(Are you blind? What you have done!)

Sara woke up when she felt hot, and she didn't know about the broken glass so she accidentally stepped on the broken pieces of glass allowing them prodding in her foot giving her lot of pain.

"Oh my god" Adnaan mumbled while looking at her foot, three glass pieces were visible poked in her flesh. Sara tried to pull them out but her hands were shivering, Adnaan felt bad for her, he sat down beside her and took her foot in his lap.

"Leave it" Sara tried to pull her leg but Adnaan glared her and grip that tightly. "Stay silently" He said strictly said and Sara grabbed his hand while shaking her head to refuse to touch. "Shhh.." He hushed her and they both were looking in each others eyes, her tears were still rolling down from her eyes, Adnaan didn't break the eyes contact and suddenly. "Aaaah.. Mummyyyy" while gripping Adnaan's hand Sara screamed because he pulled out one glass piece from her flesh.

"You can't try like this, you're most dangerous and tough girl in this world, don't prove me wrong by crying like a baby" Adnaan rolled his eyes and creeped towards her, they both were sitting without any space in between them. "Close your eyes" Adnaan said and she shook her head.

"Just close your eyes" He ordered with frustration because Sara wasn't listening his demands but this time she nodded "But pull slowly" She cried like a small Girl and Adnaan nodded, she closed her eyes and Adnaan looked towards her face.

'By the way she is beautiful' He said to himself while examining her face fire the first time after almost ten days of marriage.

'Are you mad? From which aspect she is beautiful? Adnaan you can't go so down with your choice' his evil side said and he nodded while focusing on her wound. "Mummyyyyyy..." Sara screamed and before she could pull her leg from his grip he drew out third piece of glass too.

"No need to cry now, you're not a small baby" Adnaan scolded her and she sniffed. He opens the drawer and drew out first aid box

"Tere paas ye jo do aakhe hain ye sirf showpiece hain? kuch use kar liya kar" He again scolded her while clearing her wound with antiseptic liquid

(Do you have these two eyes just as showpieces? Can't you use them?)

"Ab soo ja, main office ja raha hu" Adnaan said while dressing her foot and Sara was only watching him without blinking, maybe she was trying to find out the amount of love which she wanted to get.

(now you sleep I'm going office)

"Thank you" she muttered and Adnaan smirked.

"It's the result of my curse" Showing the nail marks on his neck he said and she was flushed.

"Take rest" saying that he stood up and Sara lay down on bed, they both looked at each other one more time.

Looking at the while bandages Sara smiled and closed her eyes. Pain was still there but Adnaan tried to heal her wound that was the most satisfying thing for her which was pushing her lips to smile.
