Chapter 27: Chapter 27

RABIYA'S POV:

It was our second day in Bangalore, Maaz had gone for his work and I was again feeling bored. I talked to mummy, papa, and Ammi but still, I was feeling something was missing.

My mobile phone started ringing, and the name flashing on the screen surprised me that was My Mr Khadoos

That was his call, he never made a call on my mobile

"Hello," I said politely

"What are you doing?" He asked

'I'm missing you I replied him in my thoughts

"Nothing, just trying to kill some time" I replied in a slow voice while opening the window of the room

"Feeling bored?" He asked me seriously and nodded as if he was watching me on call

"Yeah" but I gave him reply

"Have you had lunch or not?" I asked him and at the same time, he asked me the same.

"No, not yet.." we both replied each other with a chuckle

"When will you come back?" I asked him

"After two hours" he replied after a cold sigh in a tired voice.

"Be ready, I'll take you shopping today." He said and I felt happy

"Okay, I will be ready. But first, you eat something"

"Yeah, I will. You also order something for yourself" saying this he hung up the call.

After a wait of three hours, I heard a knock on the door.

"Maaz" I mumbled and scooted towards the door with a smile.

Entering the room he lost his tie and opened the collar button. He threw himself on the bed after his laptop bag.

He was looking tired like yesterday.

"Why aren't you ready?" He asked in a tired tone

" You are tired, we will go shopping tomorrow"

I wanted to go shopping but, after witnessing his condition I changed my plan

"I'm fine you go and get ready"

'He cares for me, he is fulfilling his promise' my heart said and I shook my head.

" I know you are tired, take rest" unlike my childhood way I said him seriously while picking up his laptop bag from the bed

"Rabiya..." saying this me grabbed my wrist

"How do you always understand?" his question made me smile shyly, my heart skipped a beat when I looked into his eyes...

"Again, a headache?" I asked and he nodded but after showing his grin. I sat beside him and started caressing his scalp with my fingers, he smiled and again held my hand.

"You are making me addicted to your massage, it would be problematic for you," He said playfully with a smile after raising his eyebrows

"I don't have any problem," I replied seriously with a grin and lower gaze.

"But it's strange!!" He said very solemnly and I looked at him in a questioning way.

"What strange?" I asked with furrowed brows

"My one headache is killing mine another one," He said with a chuckle.

"What..., am I your headache?" I asked after huffing, my fingers were still running in his hair.

"Yeah, you are..." He said while making a defeated innocent face and after a cold sigh. I fisted my hands in his hair, and he whooped

"What are you doing," He asked controlling his laughter, my grip was not that much stronger than can hurt him

"I'm trying to give you a headache" huffing I leaned to him to glare at him.

"After All, it's my duty" I added showing him my rage

"Rabiya if you don't leave my hair then I'll pull yours" He challenged me in a playful tone, but I wasn't afraid of his challenge

"You dare to pull my hair, I'll make you bald," I said and tightened my grip in his hair not that much which was painful to him

"Really?" He raised his eyebrow and I nodded in a challenging way. And I felt his warm palm travelling to my shoulder then to my neck and then to the back of my head, a wave of different sensation ran across my body on his touch, his fingers clenched my hair in his strong fist. My smile went to its end and my fist loosen its grip on his hair

THIRD PERSON'S POV:

"You dare to pull my hair, I'll make you bald," Rabiya said in a challenging tone. And Maaz loves to accept challenges.

"Really??!" Maaz asked to confirm and she gave him a nod, which was enough to push Maaz towards what he was going to do

She was holding his hair with one hand leaning over him, while another hand was resting on his chest... Maaz slowly lifted his hand to her shoulder, creeping towards her neck, entangling his fingers in her silky soft hair, which was held together with a hair clip. Her face lost its colour and her grip on his hair became loose.

"What happened to the daring and ballsy girl?" Maaz asked her in whispered when he felt her nervous

"Aaa... Ma..az" A moan left from her mouth as he tightened his grip over her hair, the clip which was holding her hair raced down and her hair covered her face. He smirked and pulled her towards himself. Her nose was touching his. She was looking nervous, her forehead was full of sweat droplets. She was trying to free herself but he was holding her very firmly. He was feeling her shivering body, she was not taking a breath.

"Rabiya..." Maaz whispered and she looked into his eyes.

"Never challenge me.." Tugging her Lock of hair behind her ear with his other hand he whispered. Their noses were still touching with each other, she was holding her breath in her chest and his hair in one fist and clenching his shirt with another fist.

"Breath Rabiya... Breath" He whispered again and freed her with a smirk.

As Rabiya found herself free from his grip she moved back suddenly, She looked at Maaz who was still smirking looking at her. Rabiya didn't find any other way; she ran from there and locked herself in the restroom.

"What was that?"

"What did he want to do?"

"That was my fault, I should maintain the distance between us...." Rabiya was mumbling all these things standing in the restroom. Her back was leaning against the closed door and her heart was pumping like hell.

Her legs were shivering badly from the closeness of Maaz.

'Earlier, last night I was caged in his arms, and now......' Thinking this she held her forehead

'That's why I didn't want to come with him. I was afraid of the same thing..' She said to her heart.

' Rabiya, that's not wrong, he is your husband,' her mind tried to make her understand.

The words started ringing in her mind which her mother and mother in law said to her.

Maaz is your husband, he has right over you and you have right over him. You both are made for each other, accept it.

Trying to Control her madly beating heart she came out after half an hour and sat on the sofa, Maaz was watching a movie on TV, laying on the bed. His gaze went to her, she was looking flushed. She was trying to hide from his gaze. taking a shawl she lay down on the sofa hiding her face in it.

"Rabiya..." He called her but she didn't listen

"Rabiya" he again summoned her but still, she didn't listen

"R. A. B. I. Y. A...." he summed her in a deep and loud voice, this time she uncovered her face and looked at him but her eyes were trembling with fear.

"Come..." gesturing towards the bed , Maaz said and her pale face became more pale and dull.

'Wh... Why is he telling me to come to bed?? I. I'm not going there besides him.' she said to her heart, she never felt nervous but that situation was different

She shook her head and covered herself again

"Rabiya... I have said something" Maaz said in a Strong voice and she made herself stand, with shivering steps she sat on the bed and covered herself with the same shawl.

' She is very nervous, idiot she is thinking something else' Maaz said to himself and passed a smirk

Rabiya saw him smirking with the corner of her eyes, and she again felt a fear in her heart.

"Go to sleep," Maaz said and she nodded without looking at him.

Rabiya crept to lay down, placing a pillow between both of them.

'What...!!!'

``It means she placed the pillow there last night,' Maaz said to himself, he didn't like that, he felt her ego was hurt.

'I never tried to get closer to her, I never tried to oppose her!! But why Rabiya??' he asked to himself

'' Rabiya, don't you trust me?" Maaz couldn't help himself and asked the same while looking at the pillow

Rabiya who was laying closing her eyes suddenly opened it, she looked at Maaz who was looking at her.

'Trust...?!'

'Do I or not?' Rabiya asked to herself

'I'm here with him alone, laying beside him. I felt calm in my heart when he stayed near me...' Rabiya said to herself and she felt a smile crept on her lips, but she hid it.

'Rabiya that is just a simple question, you are taking too much time it means you don't trust me' Maaz was looking at Rabiya who was silently looking at him

'If it's not trusted then what trust else is..??' Rabiya's heart testified

Maaz was turning his side to face opposition to Rabiya with disappointment, but Rabiya held his arm with her soft delicate hand.

"Maaz.." She whispered and Maaz looked at her

"Maaz I... I do!!!" She said and smiled.

Maaz again turned his side and now he was facing Rabiya.

"I do trust on you" saying this slowly with a lower gaze and shy smile. Rabiya picked the pillow to remove from between, but Maaz held her hand.

"Let it stay here" Placing the pillow again in between he said with a smile.

"Don't worry about...Rolling his eyes he didn't complete his sentence but Rabiya understood what he wanted to say.

"I was just teasing you because you challenged me," Maaz said slowly and covered her with a comforter. He again started watching movies.

Rabiya was just looking at him without blinking her eyes. She wanted to avert her eyes but she couldn't, Maaz realized her gaze on himself

"What??" without moving his eyes off from the TV he asked

"Huh. Aa. I.. No.." Rabiya stammered as she didn't have anything to say, Maaz looked at her with narrow eyes

'Mr. Khadoos you are looking very handsome' Rabiya said to herself and closed her eyes to sleep

MAAZ'S POV:

"Huh. Aa. I.. No.." I looked at, her with narrowed eyes

'Is she the same girl who used to argue with me without any fear or hesitation?' I asked myself and smiled at her innocence she was laying beside me with closed eyes and looking very beautiful as usual,

I don't know why I forget about my worries when she talks with me...

I didn't know why I started taking interest in her yakkings

'I think she is cute, that's why I said to myself and I smiled.

'Maaz Waqaar come out of your trance and focus on the movie' My heart scolded me and I realised that I was scanning her attractive face with my eyes for twenty minutes.

Shaking my head I again started watching the movie... I didn't realise when the clock hands strike to 12.

My mobile beeped and I looked at the clock. I remembered something and closed my eyes to bear the pain which suddenly started in my broken heart.

The mobile beep was the reminder, a Reminder of her birthday...

The date which I never forget 18th of March

"Happy birthday RIMSHA" I mumbled and a lone tear appeared in my eye, which I wiped off suddenly
