The moment I stepped outside the car, a gasped escaped my lips seeing the beauty in front. No it wasn't the luxurious hotel that blew my mind away instead we stood outside a small cottage just in the middle of nature. It was gorgeous to say the least. But it's in a deserted place away from the city hustle. If Asad murdered me here, nobody will ever find even my dead body.. The thought only made me shudder. "Stop Gawking and move that little legs of yours inside.." Asad snapped bringing me out of my trance and I immediately moved inside.. Well the insides are as beautiful as outside. I knew for sure that Asad and I are not staying in one room and that thought made me somehow relaxed..

I took a quick tour of the place and there were four rooms with each having an attached washroom. There is a Kitchen will all the modern appliances and a hall with a huge LED.. I guess if he will not torture me then I can surely spend my 4 days here in peace. I quickly settled down into one of the room. It was almost 9 pm and my tummy was grumbling.. So after changing into my night wears I came into the kitchen to see a cook already working on our dinner... "Hello Mrs. Khan, the dinner is almost ready. You want me to set the dining table?" She asked and I nodded. Asad was still not here.

Is he not hungry, should I eat without him. No Zoya that will be wrong, come on no matter how bad he is but you can't stoop down to his level. "err..." The butler stopped and I struggled what exactly to call her.. "My name is Rahila, Mrs. Khan..." she offered with a smile that I whole heartedly returned, the lady look like she must be in her late thirties. "Rahila, can you please call Mr. Khan for the dinner also please call me Zoya.." She nodded once again and went awayto call my husband and I sat there patiently.

And after few minutes, he actually bothered to show up.. We both had our meal in utter silence both of us not uttering a word. But the most unexpected that happened that night was, he waiting for me to finish my meal. He waited patiently and once I got up, he got up too following me in my room. What's wrong with him? Why is he coming after me and before I could voiced my thoughts he locked the door and sent me his best death glare making me gulp.

"What the hell is wrong with you, why aren't you in my room?" Ya Allah!! What is the matter with this guy, did he hit his head somewhere or what? Or he is just on his periods. Just 4 days of our marriage and I am already fed up of him, how are we going to stick together for long? "You said you don't like my presence in your room, so I thought when there is no one with us here, you would like me to live in a separate room.." I explained slowly but his eyes didn't soften even for a second.

"Are you crazy, Rahila is a very loyal servant to Nawab's she wouldn't take even a second to inform my Mom that her newly married Son and Daughter in law were staying in separate room on their Honeymoon.." He growled and I back down in fear. He looked so scary when he is mad and the fear creeps inside me. "Your Servant..." I stutter and he jut rolled his eyes. "If it's my place, then whose servant do you expect here?" And the realization drawn on me it wasn't some rented cottage but the property of Nawabs. Of course they will have a vacation home.. Stinky rich people..

"Now pack your stuff and move into my room and hope that Rahila haven't gotten any idea about your mishap or else you know me.." With the last threat thrown my way he moved out of the room and there goes my plan of having peaceful few days in absolute gutter...

My eyes fluttered open on the alarm that rang and I immediately turned it off, not want to wake the Satan and seek trouble at this early in the morning. It was time for Fajr so I went inside the bathroom and made the Wudhu. I have already detected the qibla direction last night so I just placed my matt on the floor and started praying..

It was still dark outside and there is an hour for the dawn, my eyes fall on the sleeping figure of my husband and I took a minute to take a good look on his features.. He looked so peaceful and so handsome while sleeping. He was definitely gifted in terms of good looks and a perfect body. Only if he would have gotten the great personality too.. What are you doing Zoya stop staring, it's wrong.. "No it's not, he is your lawfully wedded husband.." Shut up inner voice.. I immediately went back to my couch and to my precious sleep, it's too early to be up when you have nothing to do..

The next time when I opened my eyes, the clock showed 10 am. Ya Allah!! I overslept. I immediately stood up only to find the room empty, he was nowhere to seen.. I came down after getting ready and find Rahila involved in some dusting.. "Assalamoalaikum Mrs. Khan.." She stood up seeing me approaching dining table.. "Walekum Assalam Rahila, where is Mr. Khan?" I inquired finding him nowhere in the house..

"He said, he has some work in town so he left.. Don't worry he has done his breakfast and yours is ready too... Please make yourself comfortable and I will bring it to you.." My heart sank, he actually left me alone on this house just like he said. He wasn't going to show me around and even after knowing that my heart broke a bit.. Is everything is going to be like this for the rest of our lives? Will nothing change in this relationship? Will I die just like this? So many questions but no one was there to answer them, no one at all.. Ya Allah please help me through this, I can only rely on you, I can only expect from you and I know you won't disappoint me. You won't disappoint your child. Please make this easy for me Allah.. Please help me in soothing my pain, help me in pretending a happy wife for the happiness of both my families.. Help me Allah!!
