"Ahad, I'm leaving". I called out to him who was busy in the closet searching for something. I walked inside while putting on my wristwatch when he didn't reply, only to gasp.

The entire closet was a mess, his casuals sprawled here and there. He stood infront of the almost empty closet, his hands folded and brows knitted in frustration.

It's 7 in the morning and why was he troubled searching for something in the casual wears? Ughh! This man is really tough to handle.

"What on Earth are you doing?" I yelled and he turned to look at me.

"Where's my black turtle neck T-shirt?" He asked, his voice low and frustrated.

"Don't tell me you're searching that shirt for the last half an hour?" I asked with disbelief.

He sighed and groaned, being annoyed, "Where is it?" He asked.

"Godd! Ahad. You were the one to put it in the laundry 2 days ago, remember? I liked it and asked you about it, you told me that it was your favourite". I said and he stayed still thinking for a while.

"At this pace, I'm definitely gonna go mad". He spoke rubbing his forehead and I huffed walking towards him.

I held his shoulder gently and spoke, "Don't overburden yourself with work, if you go mad, People will call me a mad person's wife. Ew!. That sounds weird!" My tone so serious that it took him a while to realise what I just said, his head snapped at me as he glared.

"See! You Are The Reason". He pointed a finger at me accusingly. Ouch!

"Oh! You mean I'm driving you crazy? Yeah Mr.Qureshi?" I narrowed my eyes at him and he began walking towards me. I took quick steps back only to stop when my back hit the wall. Oh wall! Please leave your stereotype and move, and let me escape this man.

But the walls were always by his side.

He smirked devilishly, knowing that I was trapped now, I gulped as he leaned forward, placing his hands on either side of my head. "What did you say? You're driving me crazy?" He asked, his voice dangerously low, my gaze fell down, admiring the tiles beneath. They seem so beautiful suddenly!

I stood there frozen because no matter how much I try, It's like his presence, his cologne blocks my senses except for the heart which beats wildly.

"You wanna know the answer?" He lifted my face by putting his finger beneath my chin, my idiot heart skipping a beat.

"A‐Ahad". I tried to stop him because us getting this close nowadays is crushing my guards down. "Sshh". He placed a finger on my lips and moved closer, not even sparing air to pass between us.

"You've asked a question and I must answer it right?" He whispered sensually and I made a note mentally about never pushing him to the edge, specially when he was already pissed. "Answer me". He commanded and I glared at him.

This is the tone I absolutely hate. And he knows it.

"I won't". I snapped and he smirked raising his brow.

"This". He growled and ran his fingers through his hair and closed his eyes for a moment, "drives me crazy". He looked dead into my eyes and I swear I saw that in there. Goosebumps erupted over my body and our vicinity did nothing better.
