Chapter 33: Chapter 33

RABIYA'S POV:

I was feeling coziness and comfort, muffling up in the soft blanket and hugging a body pillow. But my slumber got distracted by some voice

"Rabiya.." a little whispered rang in my ears, but I wanted to sleep more..

"Rabiya wake up" I felt soft pats on my cheek.

"Wow.. How romantic... Lovebirds...."

"newly-weds we are sitting here by closing our eyes" those were some unknown feminine voices which made me realized about the presence of someone. With great efforts I opened my eyes and.....

"Oh my god" that was the first sentence which popped out of my mouth, I almost yelled with embarrassment

I was not hugging any body pillow but Maaz. I felt a race in my heart and sweat on my forehead, a hot sensation ran in my lower half. My head was placed on his chest and arms were holding him firmly, his heart beat was clearly hearable for me.

'I didn't realized when did I come enough closer to him.' I said to myself red faced in front of Maaz's colleagues.

Neha and Shikha was giggling on our condition. Maaz's one hand was holding me from my shoulder.

"Rabiya...It's been morning, We're about to reach" Maaz whispered and I looked at him still holding him in the same way. I was watching him continuously, there were something in his eyes that was stopping me to avert my gaze but I controlled myself and.... Meanwhile Sameer fake coughed without glancing at us, and I realized about our closeness. I suddenly unwrapped my arms and separated my frame from his. We both moved towards the windows of own sides and I bowed my head. I was flushed, I hadn't courage to even glance at Maaz or anyone else.

'What the embarrassing situation it is... Only Maaz's closeness wasn't enough?? They all were also here..' I was fighting my fingers with tightly shutted eyes and bowed head.

'How can you be so careless Rabiya??' my mind scolded me

I remember that I placed my head on his shoulder but I didn't know when I move that much closer to him and enfolded him in my arms.

I felt my cheeks hot and red, gathering some courage I looked at Maaz with the corner of my eyes he was also looking at me, as our gazes met, we both suddenly averted our eyes.

"Lookkk myyy lovebirds.. '' Shikha said in singing way while showing her toothie smile I looked at her, who was showing her mobile phone. In my whole life I never felt such type of sheepishness, awkwardness, shyness.... or what not!!

That was shikha's selfie but in the background....

That was me sleeping peacefully resting my head on Maaz's chest and he was looking at me.

"Shikha, What the hell is this? Delete this pic" Maaz said to her but not in rage but in embarrassment. I was continuously biting my lower lip still red faced.

"Why?? I am not going delete it? It's my selfie!!" Shikha replied in teasing way. And I looked at Maaz.

"Shikha that's good, don't tease them like this.." Sameer said like a sensible man.

"But I don't want to delete it, they are looking very cute together, their pair is lovely" Shikha said and again show me that pic.

That was true we were looking very good with each other, I like the way in which Maaz was looking at me. Heat creeped from neck to my cheeks thinking about the closeness between us, that was second time when I slept hugging him, for the first time even Maaz didn't know about that but today...

"Shikha you are not a kid, it's not a good thing to save someone's person moments in your mobile" Neha scolded her

"Okay I'm deleting it from my phone" She said and at the same time Maaz's mobile phone beeped.

"It's your moment, keep it save with yourself" Shikha sended that pic to Maaz and deleted from her mobile.

"Maaz was looking at the pic and was looking at his face... He was expressionless.

Why!! I don't know about that...

"Maaz what about the plan for today??" sameer asked to him but he was lost in that pic

'What is he trying to find in this??' my brain asked but I didn't understand

==========

After reaching Kovalam we checked in hotel, I was feeling nervous to face Maaz, yesterday I warned him to stay away from me, but today I was hugging him myself

"Rabiya where is my charger?" He asked while rummaging the bag.

"Here it is" Drawing out that which was just in front of his eyes, I meekly said and passed him without looking at him.

"What happened why are you behaving strange?" He asked me but I just shook my head avoiding eye contact

"Rabiya.." He just call me, but there was a question behind that

"No.. Nothing " Gathering my whole courage I looked into his eyes stammering and he laugh

"Ohh wow, the bold girl is stammering" He made my fun, I wanted to puch him but...

"I know why you are avoiding me, That's alright, you were in deep slumber." He said while smirking, I looked at him

"Now get ready we have to go for breakfast" He said and I nodded while smiling.

"So.. What's the plan?" Neha asked when we gathered for having our breakfast

"I'm very tired I'll sleep for some time, after that we will decide the plan." Maaz said and Sameer nodded

"What..??"

"We are here to roam!!"

Both Shikha and Neha said with disappointment

"You girls slept whole night, but both were awake, so we need rest" Sameer said and Maaz nodded.

Three of us released a cold sight.

======

My mobile rang and I found Neha calling me, she asked me to went to roam around, I looked at Maaz who was sleeping..

"Maaz... Maaz..." Luckily he woke up in first attempt

"Hmm"

"Neha and Shikha are going for shopping, I'm going with them" I said and he look at me with shock and sat up with jurk

"Are you mad? You don't know this place, you don't know roads or anything else about this place!! Don't go with them, I will take you with me after sometime" He said and again lay down to sleep.

'What!! What the hell is this?? Am I a five year old girl who can be lost somewhere??' I asked to my self and glair Mr. Khadoos who was almost slept

"Ohh... Really?? Mr. Google!!" I said to him and he suddenly opened his eyes.

"What??" He asked while rubbing his eyes, might be he think he heard wrong

"Yeah.. You know all the roads, markets, places and other things about everywhere, right..!!" I said in taunting way, he glared me but I wasn't the one who can easily be threatened by her husband.

"Rabiyaaaa... I can't allow you to go alone outside in very unknown place ho... " He said but I didn't let him complete his sentence

"I'm not asking for your permission, I'm just informing you that I am going with them." Saying that I turned to draw out my cloth

"Rabiya you are very stubborn." He said while glaring me

"Yes I'm." I said proudly while looking Into his eyes.

"Okay baba.. Go but take your mobile phone with you, call me if you need anything." Maaz said and cover his face with the pillow.

"Wait" When I was stepping out of the room his voice stopped me.

"Hmm.."

"Take this, buy everything which you like" He said and pass me his debit card.

"Everything?" I asked while raising my eyebrow

"Yeah everything, that you want" He said and I smile

"Okay.... But Don't say anything to me if I made you bankrupt" I said with a happy voice and he smiled too.

"Go you are getting late.." He ordered me and again closed his eyes.

==========

"Rabiya you are lucky as you got Maaz, he really loves you." Neha said when we were roaming the local market, I just smile on her words.

'What...!! Maaz loves me?? No, He don't love me. I still remember his words Rabiya I can't love you.' my subconscious said and I let a cold sigh out

"How you know he loves me?" I asked to Neha but Shikha answer on her behalf

"He was crazy for you before marriage, he smiles like fool without any reason. I asked him many times about you, but he never share his personal life with us" Shikha said with smile

"Where you both met first?" Shikha asked me and I remember my wedding night, when he didn't even glance at me.

"We first met after our marriage." I replied trying to fake a smile

"Really?" Both of them asked with surprise

"But we all were thinking that it was a love marriage. The way Maaz was lost in his own world before wedding, his behaviour... " Neha said with amazment

"That means he was that much crazy for you evev in arranged marriage" Neha added with happy expressions, but I was silently walking

'Love marriage!! No,That was a sudden, and shock marriage.' I said to them in my own thoughts

'That was a marriage in which the bride went to attend the marriage of her own groom without knowing her destiny' my heart said but I was just silent

'How can Maaz forget that girl so easily?'

'Is he still love her?' my heart asked and I felt scared with this thought

===========

"its impossible. I love..." Maaz was talking to someone but he stopped in mid, when I entered back in hotel room

'I love... Did I heard correct' I asked to myself

"Maaz whom are you talking with?" I asked, but I trust him, might be I listen wrong

"You are back, do you like this place??" He asked me instead of replying for my question

'Why he didn't answer me? Who is on the other end, is that his ex girlfriend or is she still his girlfriend?'

"I'll talk to you..." He was saying something on phone call but I stopped him

'I'm witnessing him, he always talk to someone, and whenever I asked about the one on other end he always disconnected the call' my subconscious said and I felt something fishy

"Maaz I'm asking something?? whom are you talking with?" I asked strictly and rightly while throwing my shopping bags on the bed.

"Saad I'll talk to you later." He said on phone while glaring me

'Was he really Saad?? Last time I doubt on him, but I didn't got anything, I was wrong.' I said to my heart, I wanted to believe him but my heart wasn't and after listing about the craziness of Maaz for that girl I felt insecure.

"Can't you see, I was attending a phone call? Don't you have eyes?" He asked me with anger but I was also in rage.

I was imagining Maaz with that girl, which was enough to make my blood boiled.

"I have eyes as well as ears, from which I have listened to what you were saying...

First, tell me whose call was that?" I yelled at him. It wasn't easy for me to control myself to punching him

"That was my friend's call." He said angrily controlling himself to yell

"and secondly lower your voice I don't like this tone." He added with a deadly glance on me while grinding his teeth in a dangerously whispering way

"Who is the friend whom you love? Do you love that Saad!!" I asked in full rage while grabbing his collar

"Rabiya behaves yourself, don't you dare to speak to me in this manner, I'm not going to tolerate this?" He pushed me away and I fell on the bed.

"Maaz tell me the truth!! Were you talking to that girl" I made myself stand and asked him with full rage

He took a deep breath and tried to calm down himself

"Rabiyaaaa... I wasn't talking to Rimsha. He was Saad, my friend." He said emphasizing on words Saad and friend while maintaining his temper.

"Maaz redial that number" I ordered him and he glared at me as I did so

"He was my friend, I'm saying truth why you are not..." I didn't let him complete what he was going to say

"If you are telling truth then why are you not calling him?" I yelled and he looked at me with frustration

I scoot to other side and grabbed his mobile phone, to redial the number, but mobile was looked

"Password..." I asked him while glaring at him, and didn't say anything

"P.A.S.S.W.O.R.D," I said emphasizing on every letter

"RIMSHA," He said and my heart skipped a beat. For a moment I forgot my rage and felt pain but I maintained myself because I don't want to broke down

I unlocked the mobile with trembling hands, opened call logs I didn't found any call from Rimsha but I dialled the last number which was saved with the name Saad. I put the call in speaker mode.

"Hello" the voice came from the other end and I looked at Maaz with shock, he was also looking at me.

The mobile phone which I was holding tightly slipped from my hand and some tears rolled down from my eyes, but my gaze was fixed on Maaz's face.

"Hello Maaz, why you are not speaking?" the voice came from the other end and at the same time a knock on the door.
