Chapter 8: Chapter 8

Aurin's pov

" Baba!" I uttered with extreme shock seeing my father right in front of my eyes.

It's been one month since I met my father and talked to him. After that incident, he kinda forgot me or I can say he was angry with me. He was so angry that he didn't bother to call me at least.

As a daughter, I missed him a lot and craved to talk to him. I didn't keep his harsh words in my heart and wanted to apologize. I know there wasn't any fault of mine but still, I wanted to apologise because I respect him a lot. No matter what I will love my father always.

Walking towards the bed he sat in front of me and said affectionately," Freshen up. I need to talk to you."

" Baba, when did....... I mean how...." I wasn't understanding what exactly I should ask him.

He answered smiling," My son in law brought me here."

This time my eyes fell on my husband who was standing at the door leaning a little bit on it. The moment our eyes met he winked at me and I diverted my eyes from him. My cheeks heated up and I looked down.

" Go, dear. I will wait for you here," Baba said and I obliged him without any delay.

After freshening up and having breakfast I and Baba are now sitting on the bed face to face. I was looking down and I am sure baba was looking at me. Both of us were silent.

Suddenly, breaking the silence Baba asked softly," Are you angry with me?"

" No," I said shortly.

Baba held my hands and apologized," I am sorry, dear. I was very harsh with you. I shouldn't have talked to you like that."

Hearing him, I couldn't control my emotions and hugged him tightly. Burying my head into his chest I burst into tears and he wrapped his hands around me very protectively.

" How could.......how could....you......keep........your anger...on me......didn't you miss your.....Auro?" I questioned hiccupping.

He stroked my hair gently and replied emotionally," I missed my Auro a lot. My anger wasn't letting me talk to you. Dear, I know I have acted very harshly with you. But, trust me dear whatever I have done, I did it for your well being."

" Why didn't you understand my feelings?" I asked sobbing.

He responded trying to console me," Dear, in a relationship it takes time to understand each other and accept each other. Mine was also an arranged marriage and your mom & I had to sacrifice a lot for our relationship. We were patient with each other and eventually fell in love. Our life was fulfilled when you and your sisters were born. It's been 24 years since we are together after overcoming a lot of storms in our life. So, I am telling you to be patient because, in my opinion, you have judged Mikaeel very early. I can assure you that I have chosen the right man for you."

" I understand, Baba," I said meekly.

Then, he said chuckling," I would still be angry with you if Mikaeel didn't call me and told me that I was wrong."

Looking at his face I asked him creasing my brows," He told you to apologise to me. That means you didn..................."

" I apologised to you from my heart not because Mikaeel requested me. He just showed me where I was wrong. He loves you and cares for you. That's why he convinced me to come here. He told me that he doesn't want to see you upset," He said and I didn't say anything further.

After that, I & Baba spent some time together and trust me I was very overwhelmed after meeting him. I am glad that the problem between us is sorted out now. But, someone has to answer me some questions.

Walking towards the balcony I found my husband standing there and looking outside aimlessly. Hearing my footsteps he turned behind and gave me a questioning look.

" Does it take a lot of effort to say sorry? Does it take a lot of effort to voice out that you care for me and my feelings?" I questioned resting my hands on my waist.

He didn't answer when I said moving towards him," What do you think I didn't understand why you called Baba here? You wanted to say sorry for your last night's behaviour. But, since your ego is bigger than Mt Everest so you tried the twisted way. To make me happy you called Baba here."

" Mikaeel Sheikh never says sorry. Now, tell me aren't you happy?" He said and I rolled my eyes.

I asked raising my one brow," What do you think?"

" You are happy but I can make you happier," He said and the next moment I was in his arms.

Feeling his lips over my lips I closed my eyes and melted in his arms. I couldn't hold back my anger anymore and gave up. I don't know how can I be so affected by him. Day by day I am becoming dependent on him and my feelings are increasing for him. No matter how much I try to control my emotions I can't.

The Next Day

Author's pov

" What you will take guys? Tea, coffee................" Mikaeel couldn't finish his sentence when Walid said sarcastically," Hot girls."

A roll of laughter echoed through the whole room when Mikaeel mumbled chuckling," Assholes!!"

Well, Mikaeel was in his office when his college friends Walid and Simon came to meet him. Both of them missed Mikaeel's wedding program due to their busy schedule so they came here to meet him. After a long time, they are meeting each other and becoming nostalgic remembering their college life.

" So, how are you feeling after getting married?" Simon asked.

Before Mikaeel could answer, Walid replied having a mischievous smile," Dude, he has gotten a young beautiful wife. What do you think is how he is feeling?"

" Miki, you are always lucky when it comes to women. First, Maryam and now your wife Aurin. I have seen your wife's photos on Ziya's insta account. I have to admit that your wife is an exotic beauty," Simon said and Mikaeel smirked.

Mikaeel said giving his friends a proud smile," Mikaeel Sheikh never runs after ordinary things."

" Ohhhhhhhhh!!!" Walid let out and Simon whistled making Mikaeel laugh loudly.

Suddenly, Mikaeel's facial expression changed and he warned his friends," Forget what you saw. My wife is only mine to see."

His friends rolled their eyes and mocked about his possessiveness though Mikaeel ignored them.

After that, Walid said dreamily," Dude, those were days when we used to bunk classes, those bike competitions, dating different girls every night. Urghh!! I miss those times of ours."

" Specifically, I miss that trip of ours when we went to visit the Maldives with our girlfriends. Don't you remember that trip, Miki? Don't you remember how you and Maryam............." Simon reminded Mikaeel and he just closed his eyes.

Maryam's face flashed in front of Mikaeel and he clutched the handles of his chair. That trip was something which he can never forget. He recalled his moments with Maryam and his heart broke again. He loved her truly and she also loved him. Everything was perfect in their relationship but they weren't destined to be together.

" I love you, Mikaeel," he heard Maryam's voice in his mind and opened his eyes immediately.

Walid teased seeing Mikaeel lost in his thoughts," I can understand that it's not easy for you to forget someone sexy like Maryam. I still remember how you kissed her in front of everyone to prove your love. She might be very tasty, hmm! Dude, I wonder how many times you guys have fucked each other?"

" Before returning to Canada, buy a good filter and attach it in your mouth because you badly need one," Mikaeel answered with his pissed off voice and his friends burst into laughter.

Simon asked controlling his laughter," Miki, answer honestly. Do you still have feelings for Maryam?"

Before Mikaeel could answer, Aurin entered the office having a worried expression on her face. Everyone was startled by her entry specifically Mikaeel. He raised his brow looking at her and wondered what's she doing here.

" What's wrong?" Mikaeel questioned and Aurin ran towards him.

She hasn't noticed the guests yet. The only person she can see is now Mikaeel. She hugged him tightly making everyone shocked.

Aurin asked emotionally," Why is your phone switched off? I have been trying to call you for a long time. I even called your PA. He wasn't receiving the call also. I became so much worried and that's why came to meet you here."

" Aurin, control yourself. There are guests here," Mikaeel whispered and that's when she broke the hug. She bit her tongue due to embarrassment.

Mikaeel introduced her to his friends," Guys, meet my wife Aurin Sheikh."

" Nice to meet you, bhabhi. I am Walid," Walid introduced himself.

Simon said," And, I am Simon. We are Mikaeel's college friends."

When the introduction was over, Mikaeel dragged Aurin into his private room and reaching there he literally threw her on the bed.

" Do you think I am a toddler who can't take care of himself? Hmm!" Mikaeel questioned with his pissed off voice.

Aurin widened his eyes when he shouted," My phone was switched off that doesn't mean I died. That means I was busy with work. You shouldn't have barged into my office from anywhere. Why do you always act so immaturely? Huh!! You don't know about simple courtesy as well. You entered my office without knocking!"

" I am not your servant that I need to knock before entering your office. You only saw the immaturity in me. You didn't bother to understand my feelings, my anxiousness, my care for you. Well, today is my last day in your office. Thanks for insulting me!!" She shouted back and stormed out of the office wiping away her tears.

Mikaeel didn't call her nor he tried to stop her. He let her go because he was pissed off. He wasn't angry because she came here to meet him. He was angry because she came without any notice. What if she had heard his conversation with his friends about Maryam?

Mikaeel returned to his office when Walid said laughing," What a caring wife!!"

" Say honestly Mikaeel. Who cared for you the most? Maryam or Aurin," Simon questioned and Mikaeel remained silent.

Walid said bumping on his shoulder," Don't be shy. Shyness suits the girls."

" Maryam," Mikaeel answered unknown to the fact that Aurin has heard him.

She dropped her phone on the bed and returned to take it. But, before she could enter the office, she heard them and decided to leave without pulling another argument.

At Night

After dinner, Aurin and Mikaeel returned to their room. Aurin started preparing the bed where Mikaeel was doing something on his phone.

Aurin didn't utter a single word with him after returning to the office and he didn't say anything either. She wasn't expecting him to say sorry since he never says sorry. But, deep down inside her heart, she was expecting him to acknowledge his mistakes and say a few words to her. Moreover, she wants to know who is Maryam.

Suddenly, Aurin felt a pair of familiar hands wrapping around her waist gently and hot breaths fanning her back neck. She closed her eyes feeling a gentle kiss over her shoulder.

" Wifey," Mikaeel whispered.

Turning towards him, she questioned," Who is Maryam?"

Mikaeel was taken aback by her question but kept his facial expression neutral. He mentally cursed his friends and prepared himself to convince Aurin. Looking at her face he understood that she is not going to let go of this matter so easily.

" Just a college friend," He answered shortly.

Aurin asked suspiciously," Just a Friend!! Your friends were comparing me with your just friend! Do you think I am a fool?"

" Maryam was my classmate and friend. She used to like me and it was known to everyone. But, I never gave any attention to her. My friend was just making fun of using her name. That's all," Mikaeel lied sounding genuine.

Aurin looked at his eyes and found truthfulness in them. He lied to her so perfectly that she believed him. Or we can say her foolish heart didn't let her think further because she doesn't want to get hurt. Moreover, her love for him forced her to believe that he wasn't lying.

" Are you doubting me?" He questioned but she didn't answer.

She was going to lie down on the bed when he pulled her into his embrace. Yanking her hair behind he dipped his head into her neck and started giving sloppy kisses all over her neck. She wriggled but he didn't let her go.

He murmured pressing her soft waist," I was very pissed off with office matters that's why I behaved with you very harshly. Try to understand."

" Is it my fault that I love you and care for you too much?" She questioned when Mikaeel pecked her lips.

Picking her up in bridal style he laid her down on the bed and hovered over her. He kissed her forehead and Aurin circled her hands around his neck automatically.

Mikaeel said softly," I am lucky to have a wife like you."

Taking her hands, he kissed her knuckles and complimented," You are so beautiful."

" I love touching your smooth skin," He whispered while opening her clothes and she blushed.

He started opening his clothes looking at her shy eyes and complimented," Your eyes are talkative and I love them. I know you are complimenting my body with your eyes."

Aurin closed her eyes and bit her lips due to shyness. Her face was red and she was looking adorable like that. He removed her bra playing with her nipples sensually and she crossed her hands over her chest.

" Don't hide yourself. Let me worship this sinfully beautiful body of yours," he said removing her hands.

After that, their intimacy increased and led them to a physical relationship. It's not like they were having sex for the first time but today was something different. Specifically for Aurin.

Every day whenever they have sex, it's just mere sex. They don't connect with each other emotionally. Mikaeel doesn't say anything nor does he compliment Aurin while having sex.

A lot of times she wished to hear some complimenting words from him but apart from disappointment, she didn't get anything. With passing time she accepted his ways since she fell in love with him.

But, today was something different. Today, Aurin felt like they weren't having sex. They were making love. Mikaeel worshipped every inch of her body with his kisses. He complimented her body, her looks, everything which led her to forget her anger and disappointment on him. His behaviour was quite surprising for her but she didn't think too much.

She was pleased by the sudden change in his behaviour. She doesn't know whatever he did, he did it for his own good.

Mikaeel's p.o.v

Pulling the comforter over Aurin's body I stared at her innocent face. I stroked her soft cheeks feeling the smoothness of her skin. A smirk formed on my lips after convincing her about Maryam's matter.

I am really happy to see my effect on her. She has already fallen in love with me and listens to me. She is behaving just the way I always wanted. I have made her perfect for me. She is so much affected by me that she won't think of divorcing me.

Though I have acted with her out of my character, I am not regretting it. So, I did the right thing by marrying a young girl. She is very easy to handle.

I just showed some affection and bingo. She is now madly in love with me. That's what I always wanted. My wife should always love me, listen to me, depend on me and believe whatever I say.

A few days ago when she applied for the job I was so angry with her but didn't show it on my face. I just told all the companies to not give her any job. Why would she need a job when I am providing her with everything? She should depend on me only so that I can keep my control over her always.

Moreover, I don't want my wife to go among a bunch of men. What if she involves herself with another man! I am already 35 and elder than her. It's common for young girls to lose interest in elder guys very early. What if she finds someone younger than me and starts having affair! I can't let that happen. My insecurity led me to do all this. It was me who didn't let her get any job.

But, today I was scared when she questioned me about Maryam. If she comes to know about Maryam then I will lose her trust in me. She should never come to know about Maryam and my relationship.
