If your love was true.

chapter four

Farwa's POV:

"Mam, would you order now?"
I hear the waiter approach with the menu in his hand. I was sitting in a café he suggested we should meet at. He offered to pick me up, but i refused. That would be too much.

"No, I'm waiting for someone."
The waiter nodded and left.

I opened my phone and started scrolling on Instagram. who was asfandyar?
Mama didn't even bother to show me a picture. How will i recognise him?

I heard the elevator open with a ding. A guy came out. I can only see his side profile.
Even if you can see him, how will you recognise it? Ajeeb soch rhi hai tu bhi ( you are even thinking weird )

I looked down as i saw him approaching. When i looked up, the face i saw made my eyes widen, and my mouth was half open.

Asfandyar POV:

She looks absolute breathtaking in black.
God, she looks so adorable. I just want to pinch her cheeks.
But i know she would probably think it's clingy. She is made of ice, i dont think she even feels. But sometimes, she just couldn't hold back her reaction. And I'll make sure to find out the reason behind it.

"Miss me, belle?"
"Miss you? What are YOU doing here?" She says using the dramatic force on a specific you.
"The same reason you're here for, belle." I say while taking a seat.
The belle word is for her, since she once wore a shirt 'speak french to me' and my mother speaks french, so it was pretty easy to describe her now.

She did a pretty good job at masking her expressions, but i could smell her nervousness in the air.
"A-asfandyar?" As if she's asking my name.

"Yeah, fiance. How are you doing?"
She can clearly sense the mocking tone. Her glare cut through me.
I motion the waiter before this gets worse.

And this time, she didn't argue and let order.

After ordering, she looked at me like she was finding words.

"Call it off." She orders.
"And why would i do that?"

"And why would you want to marry ME?" She pauses as she thinks something.

"Maybe i do want to marry you."
And i regret as soon as the words left my mouth. I didn't want to marry her, not exactly in a romantic way.
Mama was bashing my head, so i had to get married sooner. i said yes because i was tired of Mama showing me pictures of girls when Mama showed me her picture. I wanted to see her reaction. It was worth it.

"W-why?"
"I mean, it's for the best. My mom wants me to marry someone and yours too. So, I'm giving a rest to it."
"What.do.you.mean." she whispers yell. As the waiter brings our order.

"That means let's make an agreement. We can get engaged for four years as our parents dont expect us to marry before that , so we can break up after four years and say things were not working out and part our ways."

"That's genius." She pauses, takes a bite of fries. "Then why would i do that with you?" She says, seeming annoyed.

"Because you will not find a fiance who wants to break up after four years of being engaged."

She hums while she eyes me.
"Why dont you want to get married?" She snaps.

"Why dont you?" I shoot back.
She swallows and continues to pursue her lips.

"I have some rules.." she points out.

"Pray tell?" Still didn't touch my food, staring at her.

"No outtings together, no showing off as your fiance in university, we're not friends, not anything. Just agreement parteners.
Showing up at family dinners as lovely couples and living our life in private. no control over my life. You dont ask me where i am and expect a reply. The agreement continues until our parents talk about marriage, and we break the agreement, and mostly, no falling in love.
Do you agree with my terms?"
She says, looking at me beneath her lashes after completing her speech.

"Meri jaan, dont worry. I won't fall in love with you."

"I doubt that. Is that the only thing that you agreed on?"
She says, narrowing her eyes. Finally got some reaction from the ice queen.

"Mhm, the no control over you part. I liked that."
I say in a teasing tone.

"I mean it, do you agree?" She cuts me a glare.
A.d.o.r.a.b.l.e.

"Agreed, belle." I say while taking a sip of my drink.

The game has started.

Author's note:

Helloooo, bhaisaab.

I hope this works out.
