Mannat p.o.v

I stood in the Zunaid bedroom with a white blanket and pillow on my tiny arms and slept on the centre of the bed like a penguin on the snow.

" Zunaid move "  I frown at his childish behaviour .

Since Sumaiya aunty and Gohar decided to grace their present in this house and are going to stay with us for sometime .

Unwillingly Zunaid had no choice but to share this room with me .

But look at him now !! Behaving like a five year old child .

He intentionally yawned loudly .

I huff in annoyance ….

" Zunaid ! " I called out once more but it fell deaf in his ear .

Dropping the blanket and pillow I pulled up my sleeves , using my both hands to move this giant penguin-like body aside but his body felt like a rock who was not ready to budge from its place .

" Zunaid ! GET UP !" I shouted frustrated and tried hard to push him but instead I trip backward while my eyes widened in fear .

Third person p.o.v

Mannat begins to lose balance, her body tilting towards the floor.

In a quick reflex, Zunaid grabs Mannat's wrist, preventing her from slipping further. However, the sudden pull causes their bodies to collide.

She lands right on top of him, their faces inches apart. They both freeze, their eyes locked onto one another, feeling an electric charge course through their bodies.

Mannat blink rapidly coming back to reality .

Unsure of how to react she quickly tries to shift off him, flustered and stuttering.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Zunaid. I didn't mean to... Uh... This wasn't... I didn't see…" she shutter awkwardly avoiding his gaze .

Zunaid breath hitches in his throat, captivated by the close proximity of their bodies. He gulps, attempting to gather his thoughts.

Mannat p.o.v

My heartbeat loudly inside my chest , I wanted to run away from the farthest corner of this earth , yet I glued to my place.

" Ahem " I heard him clear his throat .

Oh my God !!! Is he going to say something …. This is going to be awkward.

" Take your blanket and pillow and sleep on the couch , this bed is mine " he said and went back to sleep .

My teeth automatically gritted while I stared at this giant penguin . Only if I could smack him with a chair on his face .

Calm down Mannat !  I took a deep breath .

" Zunaid, " I called out, smiling from ear to ear .

He turned his neck to face me , confusion written all over his face .

" Will you move or I ?" My voice faded as his eyes travelled to my hand where I am holding a jug full of water .

I swear for a split second I saw fear …

Good !

He sat properly " we- we can talk about this " he almost shut eyeing the jug .

Am I sensing fear ?? Good for him .

Gohar p.o.v

" But you said , this time I will marry him !" Gohar cried out angrily, glaring at her mother .

" I didn't know my brother was in so much hurry " my mother looked at the window in deep thought .

" Doesn't matter mom ! He is married, everything is finished and he is married to who ? THAT SPOILED BRAT MANNAT whom he doesn't even like ?" I feel ridiculous about this situation .

" Exactly sweetheart " My mother came to me cupping my face " he doesn't like her , we all know how much he despise that girl "

" Then why did he marry her mom? " I sniff, feeling heartbroken .

My mother always told me that one day I will marry Zunaid when I grow up but fate played a cruel game on us . First Samiya and now Mannat .

" Don't worry , this marriage is just a facade " she turned around thinking something " soon I will replace her with you in Zunaid life's " my mother promised, patting my head softly and I hugged her tightly .

" Please mom do something I love him a lot "

Mannat p.o.v

" This is your side and this is mine " Zunaid made a border with pillows on the centre of the bed .

I looked at the border then asked him " what are you five ?"

" Still have a better brain," he muttered under his breath.

This man !

" Don't you dare to come on my side " he warned before sliding under the blanket .

I rolled my eyes " like I am dying too "

" I know, " he scoffed, making my eyes widen .

Don't hit him

Don't hit him

Don't hit him

Gulping down the anger  I slid under my blanket and slept peacefully until the morning came .

In the Morning…

Third person p.o.v

A bright and sunny morning. Mannat's eyes slowly open as sunlight hits her face.
Mannat (half-asleep): *Yawns* Oh, what a beautiful morning...

Suddenly, she feels a hand wrapping around her waist. Her eyes widened in surprise.

Startled " Huh? What's going on?"

Mannat turns her head to see Zunaid cuddling her close, both their eyes now wide open.

" Ahhhhhhhhhh" both scream in panic , almost shaking the house .
