His Hidden Crush

Chapter 12

Knock knock!! Your author is here. Here is an early update for you guys. My exam got delay so.. Enjoy 😉

Ayat POV:

"Finally, you've reached my hands."
"I am going to have a taste of you now."
"Do you think I am a fool? I can't see that you are a slut for him?"
"Nah sweetheart. Today I am not leaving you without a taste of you. You are going to be my personal whore."
"Are you going to open your legs for me by your choice or am I going to force you?"
"I am going to fuck you and fuck you so hard that you will forget that Zahran forever and will be mine forever."
No. Please no.. No. N-noo...
Stop, please. Stop. S-stop.
STOP!!! NOOOOO!!!

My eyes jerked open and I found myself in my room on my bed. My eyes had tears in them. My whole body shivered with fear and my face drenched with sweat. My heart raced like I was in a marathon race. I closed my eyes and tried to calm my rapidly beating heart but all in vain. So it was a nightmare but it felt so real.

I couldn't live in that moment again. I would not be able to bear it again. I couldn't. I just couldn't. I was saved this time but what if it happens again and he gets successful next time?
No.. No.. It-It c-couldn't.
I-It... I-I-It c-co....

"Fuck!!! Take a deep breath, Ayat.!!" A masculine deep husky voice fell in my ear and forced me to put my thoughts to an end. I realized I fisted the duvet tightly in my hands. My chest was aching due to some kind of pressure. I was having trouble breathing.

I tried to turn towards the source of the voice but I wasn't successful in doing so. I knew who's it. It was bhai. No wait, should I call him bhai now? But I myself agreed to marry him, no? Didn't I? Then what should I call him??

"For fuck's sake breath, butterfly. You need to breathe." He again interrupted my thoughts and grabbed my chin with his thumb and forefinger and turned my face in his direction. My dark brown eyes met his hazel ones.

"Just follow what I do." He took a deep inhale and I did exactly what he said. He was inhaling and exhaling gently and I was matching his rhythm. My breathing became normal gradually and I was at relief being relaxed.

"Feeling any better?" His hazel eyes looked in my wet dark brown ones. I nodded my head and dropped my gaze to the duvet which was covering me. It happened to be the most interesting thing at the moment. I rolled my lower lip under my teeth. I was embarrassed about what happened. How did I always end up in such vulnerable situations with him??

"Ayat!" He took my name with such gentleness that it touched my heart. It did something in my stomach. I swear it did. "What happened? Have you realized that you got a panic attack?" His voice was full of worry and care. It warmed my heart.

What is happening to me suddenly?? Why am I getting weird feelings when he is around me??

"Hey! Where are you lost? Answer me." His thumb and finger again lifted my chin and I met his gaze which held nothing but warmth and safety. "N-nowhere." I managed to say without meeting his gaze. For some reason, I wasn't able to hold my gaze with his.

"Tell me what is going on in this brain of yours." He sat at the very corner of the bed maintaining an appropriate distance between us. His 6'1 figure was towering my 5'4. It was making me hella nervous even though we were at a pretty good distance.

How did he know I was thinking something?

"You have a habit of knitting your eyebrows when you think. That's how I knew." He answered my unasked question. "H-how did you know that I was thinking this?" I was shocked would be an understatement because I was astonished.

He chuckled and a smile curved at his lips. "That's a secret." He replied nonchalantly. "Rude." I muttered and rolled my eyes at him. "I heard that." He said with a teasing smile.

I know he was trying to distract me and I was so grateful to him for this.

"That's why I said that." I also smiled at him meekly. His laughter echoed in my dark silent room. The only source of light was my bedside night lamp. I became frozen for a moment hearing him laugh. His laugh was the most beautiful sound I had ever heard.

Wait, where did it come from??

"Don't think too much. Everything will be fine soon. I am with you always." He patted my head and gave me an assuring smile. "Thank you." It rolled off my tongue but I really meant what I said.

"What for?" He asked me as if he didn't know.

"For distracting me now." for saving me and my honor, for defending me and for protecting me from Rauf and for punching him, he deserved that though.

He opened his mouth to argue but before he could, I interrupted him. "Please don't deny it now. I know you just did it." He scratched the back of his neck and blushed avoided meeting my gaze
He fucking blushed.
What the hell?!

Suddenly, silence filled the room and I regretted saying that. I shouldn't have said it. He was embarrassed now. So was I.
You are a fool, Ayat.

"Uh.. Should I call chachi to sleep with you?" Breaking the ice, he said. "I know you are scared to sleep alone, that's why you probably had a nightmare."

"No. I am fine please don't call ami. She was already very worried and was crying so much." I voiced my worry. Ami was so anxious for me. I do not want to burden her more. She should get some peaceful sleep after all the drama.

"Oh.. Are you sure?" He asked me clearly not believing what I said. Not his fault though, he's just worried about me. Well, I appreciate it.

I nodded my head at him. I did not want anyone to be more worried for me than they already were. I gave them enough trouble. I would handle myself. It's not a big deal. Yes, I could and I would. Hope so...

"Ok, If you say so. Here, take this." He offered me a chocolate that too novella.
God, I loved it. My favorite chocolate.

My eyes lit up seeing it but I didn't take it from his hand yet. Zara and I used to eat this almost everyday in the evening during our gossip session which happened in the garden.

I eyed him for once and found him already looking at me. "Le lo yrr. Tmhary liye hi li th." He remarked and that's it.
I took it or should I say snatched it from his hand. He chuckled at me and gave me a smile.

"Enjoy and sleep after this and if anything happens, call me. I will be in my room only. Ok?" His voice was laced with care and I got lost in it forgetting everything for sometime. No drama. No nightmare. No fear and clearly no Rauf to scare me.

"Thank you. This time for the chocolate." I lifted the chocolate showing him and nodded my head at his care-filled words. He lifted my mood like he always did.

"Good night. Allah Hafiz." Giving my head a pat, he left me alone in the room to devour my chocolate.

I smiled at his care and especially his efforts to lift my mood. I was so grateful to have him in my life and I hadn't realized it until now. Shaking my head as an attempt to remove these thoughts from my mind, I enjoyed my chocolate.
