Aarzoo P.O.V

Staring at the birds that were flying made me feel envious of their freedom they could fly whenever and wherever they'd want no restrictions no barriers and here I am trapped into this golden cage. All I wanted was freedom from him it made me scream internally knowing he deprived me of everything that once was mine.

No one could accept a man like him let alone loving someone as ruthless and pathetic as him. He reeked from the stench of hatred .

I wiped my tears away and hesitatingly looked away from the window . The Great Carnival was to be held today and being the Malika I had been given strict orders or should I say I was threatened by the almighty Abbas to behave like a Malika.

Was I really one ? I felt more like a mistress.

I sighed and decided it's better if I do not provoke him further more by not obeying him . It was like Eid for me to be finally seeing how outside felt like .I heard a knock on door I knew straight away it would be maryam knowing she was the only person that was allowed in my room other than Abbas and I knew only she would knock on the door whereas Abbas would just barge in .

" Come in Maryam"

She walked in with a smile and greeted me

" Assalam u Alaikum Malika "

I smiled back I've lost count on how many times I have told her not to address me so formally.

" Maryam how many times I have.."

I was cut shot with Abbas walking in my lips were shut sealed as I saw him . Maryam bowed her head down and placed the dress on the Diwan which I didn't notice . Maryam on her way out looked at me apologetically and closed the door behind.

Abbas walked towards me as I looked away . He took a seat next to me and gripped my chin gently to my surprise and turned me to face him.

" Am I not appealing to you my love ? "

I looked into his eyes , he held a smile on his face . It was such a pity that his beauty was nothing but well masked lie. I would have fallen in love with someone like him if only he was beautiful equally on the inside just as he was on the outside .

" Answer me my love why is it that you smiled so brightly upon the arrival of a mere servant and not upon your King or more specifically your husband"

My lips turned upwards sarcastically . I looked in his eyes . He somehow seemed to be satisfied knowing atleast I looked at him.

" Because that mere servant might be the only one who treated me humanely here"
