Chapter 157: Chapter 157
As the first rays of morning sunlight streamed into her room, Mia awoke with a wicked smirk playing on her lips.
"Good morning Mia. I know this is going to be one of the best days of my life.
Finally, I will get my Abeer back."SHE greeted herself.
The events of the previous night had unfolded exactly as she had hoped.
She lay in her bed, recalling how she had craftily sowed the seeds of discord between Abeer and Khushi.
Her plan to drive a wedge between them had worked like a charm.
Mia had been nursing a grudge, fueled by her obsession with Abeer.
Mia had exploited their vulnerabilities and insecurities, planting doubt and mistrust where there had once been love.
As she lay there, her heart brimming with a twisted satisfaction, Mia felt that the path to claiming Abeer as her own was now open.
Her smirking reflection in the mirror seemed to revel in the success of her cunning plot.
Yet, beneath the veneer of triumph, her heart knew that the happiness she sought was built upon deception and manipulation.
The room around her seemed to echo her sinister thoughts, and Mia's smirk began to fade.
She was well aware that her actions had left a trail of broken trust and hurt, and the morning's light only served to illuminate the dark path she had chosen.
Mia's quest for Abeer's love had taken a treacherous turn, one that would ultimately lead her into the depths of her own moral dilemma.
"I know I chose the wrong path to make Abeer mine, but everything is fair in love and war.
I did all this to make him realize that he chose the wrong person for his life.
I did not do anything wrong by clearing his vision which got blurred chasing Khushi.",She tried to justify herself.
She did not want to feel bad about her nor did she want to become any witch.
But she was left with no option after watching their closeness that was hurting her badly.
She was lost in her own world of thoughts when her mobile beeped, breaking her chain of thoughts and bringing her back to reality.
She checked her mobile and a wide smile came across her face as it was Abeer who messaged her to meet him in the next half an hour.
He has something important to discuss with her.
Mia was feeling on cloud nine that time feeling excited and nervous at the same time for her meeting with Abeer.
With determination in her eyes, Mia raised herself from her bed and made her way towards the mirror.
Her mind was filled with thoughts of Abeer, the man she was obsessed with.
Her plan to separate him from Khushi had succeeded the previous night, and today, she was set to make her move.
She studied her reflection in the mirror, her smirking confidence from earlier still lingering.
She knew she had to look her best for the meeting, every detail of her appearance meticulously considered to captivate Abeer's attention.
With precision, Mia started her morning routine.
She selected an outfit that accentuated her best features, meticulously applied makeup, and took care to style her hair flawlessly.
Her every move exuded a sense of purpose, a resolve to make Abeer see her in a new light.
As she finished getting ready, Mia couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and trepidation.
She knew that this was a pivotal moment in her plan to win Abeer's heart, and she was ready to seize the opportunity.
With a final glance in the mirror, she took a deep breath and set out to meet Abeer, her heart racing with anticipation.

Khushi came out wearing a bathrobe after taking a shower and tiptoed in the room, thinking of Abeer's presence there.
But to her surprise there was no one inside the room. She was all alone.
Khushi had found herself in an unusual predicament. As she searched for something comfortable to wear, she couldn't help but be drawn to Abeer's clothing.
Without a second thought, she decided to try on one of his oversized shirts and a pair of baggy jeans.
She knew it was an unconventional choice, but the idea of wearing Abeer's clothes intrigued her.
As she slipped into the shirt, she immediately noticed how it hung loosely on her frame.
The sleeves were too long, and the collar seemed to engulf her.
Khushi stood before the mirror, looking at her reflection with a mixture of amusement and awkwardness.
She felt like she was swimming in Abeer's clothing.
Her own sense of style was usually more fitted and tailored, so this departure from her usual attire felt strangely liberating.
She couldn't help but grin at the thought of being enveloped in Abeer's scent, even if the clothes dwarfed her.
It was a moment of playfulness and connection, and she appreciated the opportunity to experience a glimpse of his world in this lighthearted way.
In the oversized clothes, Khushi's image in the mirror made her smile.
She felt a unique connection to Abeer, even in this simple act of borrowing his clothing.
It was a reminder of the intimacy they shared and the joy they found in the little things, even if it meant momentarily feeling a bit out of place.
She was smiling like a fool, recalling the moments she shared with him, standing against the mirror when the door got unlocked.
She did not realize when Abeer came inside and stood behind her, watching her image in the mirror.
Abeer could not stop himself from observing her from head to toe and found her adorable.
He held her waist from behind, closing the distance between them.
"I can't describe in words how cute you are looking right now,Khushi.
From where did you get this idea?",He asked, talking to her image in the mirror.
She felt shy, not meeting his gaze and was smiling, feeling blushed.
"I thought to try yours as your clothes have your scent so..",Khushi said, in her shyness and then realized what she blurted in front of him.
"Hmm, I see. You liked my scent so much. Babes, you should tell me that in the first place.
Because you don't need my clothes to inhale my scent when I am already present here in your service.
After our marriage, I'll make sure that every morning your body smells the same as mine.
You know what I mean, and for that we don't need any clothes so don't worry.",He winked at her, inhaling her fragrance and kissed on her cheeks.
"You are getting more naughty day by day. Aren't you?",She asked, talking to his image in the mirror.
"Only for you baby. I am ready to become the naughtiest kid of your class and will love to punish you in bed, in return whenever I can't stop myself admiring your beauty.",He teased her.
"Now let me dry your hair, otherwise you will get cold."He said, touching her wet hair.
The moment he was going to dry her hair with the hair dryer, both sneezed together and laughed looking at each other.
"Don't tell me we catch cold at the same time?",She asked looking at him.
And then both sneezed again, confirming her doubt.
"It's all because of you, why did you let both of us in the swimming pool at midnight when it was already freezing cold on the terrace."She glared at him.
"You left me no option than to swim with you in cold water to calm down your body which was burning in fire.",He complained, frowning at her.
And there, they sneezed again.
"How cute! We love each other so much that we sneeze every time we are together.",She said, pinching his nose.
"Oouuchh!!",He said, sneezing again.
She laughed watching him sneeze like a baby.
"Sir ,sorry to disturb you but Mia ma'am has arrived and is waiting for you down.",Liam informed, knocking on the door from outside.
"Okay. Make her comfortable. I am coming in a few minutes."Abeer ordered from inside, not opening the door.
"Dry your hair, I will come back in a few minutes.",He informed her , walking out of the room.
"Why was Mia ma'am here so early in the morning ?",Khushi asked, feeling confused and then started drying her hair.
***
"Welcome Mia. Good morning.", Abeer greeted her,coming downstairs.
Mia chirped in happiness watching him coming towards her and greeted him back.
"I am feeling really sorry for you Abeer. What happened to you last night because of Khushi should not have happened in the first place.
I know deep down inside you are really hurt but don't worry we will punish her and make sure she will get a good lesson from messing up with your Mom's memories .",She said, faking sadness on her face.
"Punish ? And her? No way. In Fact now I realized she is my lucky charm.
I am not going to punish her, instead I am going to reward her as last night because of her I got saved.",Abeer revealed, making Mia shocked at his words.
"Lucky charm ? What do you mean by that?",She asked, controlling her jealousy and her shocking expressions on her face.
"Yes, she is my lucky charm Mia. Just because of her, I saved myself from the police investigation.
Last night I came to know that the land on which I constructed my hotel on Mom's name came under government's property and they were going to investigate it.
As you know before that it was an illegal land which I captured so it will ruin my Mom's name as it was built on her name.
But now, due to Khushi it was transferred to my enemy's name and now they are in danger as police are going to investigate them.
Now I realize why people say whatever happens, happened for a good reason.
She is my lucky charm, whom I don't want to lose anymore so I decided to marry her.
And you are the first person I am going to invite for my wedding.",He said, smiling at her.
Mia's world came crashing down when she heard the wedding news of Abeer and Khushi that left her utterly shocked.
It was a moment that shook Mia to her core.
As the realization dawned upon her, Mia's heart sank.
Her elaborate scheme had crumbled, and her dreams of being with Abeer were shattered.
She stood there, struggling to come to terms with the fact that her manipulations had failed.
The truth stung, and Mia was left to grapple with the consequences of her actions.
"She is not your lucky charm Abeer. I am your lucky charm ,trust me."She blurted, controlling her anger.
"Come on Mia. She was the one who did all these things for me. How could you become my lucky charm when I saw her doing that ?"He asked, laughing at her words.
"Because I planned all this and made her my puppet.
I made her do all this. She did all this on my orders.
She did not even have any idea about all this. I used her by planning all this.
I arranged those investors who were your enemy and made your hotel demolished.
She thought she was going to make you happy by cracking the deal on her own but she had no idea that this deal would ruin your Mom's memories forever.
I involved her in my plan deliberately, but I was the one behind all this.
It all happened because of me, I was the mastermind behind all this.",She ranted, releasing her anger which she was trying to control.
And the room echoed with a loud thud as she received a tight slap on her face as soon as she ended her blabbering.
And she fell on the floor holding her cheeks in surprise feeling shocked at the same time.
