SHIFA SALEEM

Opening the door, I enter his office. "Shahid." I voice out when our eyes land onto each other. Closing his laptop, he stands up from his chair almost jumping, his eyes sparkling with excitement seeing my arrival.

"Yes Amira." He replies approaching me, the moment my eyes land on the girl standing by the side, i halt. Isn't it the same girl that was here when i barged into his office last time?

Shahid told me everything about her...about how she is with his uncle's side and how she annoys him with the marriage in her stupid mind.

She exits the room smiling at me giving us privacy. Seeing her smiling widely at me, I started to wonder if she was the same person I had met the last time.

"Did you miss me Princess?" His voice snaps me out as my eyes fix on him again.

Coming closer to me, he places a peck kiss on my cheek. "If you didn't, well i missed you." He says making me giggle.

"Yeah yeah i was so impatient that i had to rush in here before heading home." I reply as he smiles making me blush. "Oh god! You know how to smile nowadays." I state as he grabs my waist kissing and savouring me whole.

"You are the reason for that." He says breaking from the kiss leaving me utterly breathless.

^-^-^-^

I was scrolling through my phone in the guest room waiting for shahid  to get his work done. That's when nihala approached me.

"You know, Such a lucky girl you are." Nihala says as i halt for a minute seeing her smile widely again.

"What do you mean." I ask her dumbfoundely tilting my head as she giggles.

"You're cute. No wonder that rutheless man fell head over heels for you." She responds taking a seat beside me.

I am in a state where i couldn't utter a word, but then she continues as i blink twicely still clueless as what she is about to say.

"He didn't let anyone address him by his name. And when i used to, he would snarl at me stating i have no right to call him by his name. But on that particular day, when you came over calling his name 'Shahid' his eyes sparkled excitedly just by hearing you address his name and his eyes softened by your arrival."

A pling of emotions wash over me as i hear it from her. HER!!! I thought she might have grudge on me for being his wife. But rather she is being nice towards me.

"Oh is that so." I shy away as she giggles stating "I can see those rosy cheeks dear." We laugh out and chat a bit.

How....am i supposed to believe she is the same person that Shahid described. Perhaps she changed...Because of her eyes. Her eyes speak of all the guilty and the apologies she want to convey but she is......trying to act all cool not wanting to show her weakness.

This is the best thing as a Psychologist that, i can understand just by their eyes, gestures if they are going through something. And here she is..Nihala talking with me....but deep down....there is something in her eye that says she want to share everything with atleast one person.

The door flings open as we were chatting "Let's go Amira." He says approaching me. The moment his eyes land on Nihala his eyes darkens "Why are you here? Planning to plot something?" He snarls at Nihala.

"I-I was just-" Nihala stutters as i cut her off "Amir, I'll be back. I'm discussing something important here." I say in a kind voice glancing at him. "You sure Amira?" He inquires, his eyes softening.

"Yeah." I reply smiling. "Ok then, I'll be outside with Ishan." He says and exits the room closing the door behind.

"Why did you have to do that? You could have just went with him. Why stand up for me lying you were discussing something important." She asks looking at me, her eyes looking all too tired.
