When Fire Meets Ice - Completed.

20. P A S T

Before we jump back into the story, I wanted to let y'all know something.

This story has been divided into three phases. The first phase was of Dilkashi (Attraction) and Uns (Infatuation) which ends at the chapter before this.

The second phase begins from here, the phase of Ishq (Love) and Junoon (Madness).

The third and the last phase will be Aqidat (Immense trust).

Shower your love for Inaya and Ahad, they're back!!

Enjoy!

🖤

I N A Y A

After finishing our Maghrib prayers we were driving back to the mansion, the ride was filled with comfortable silence. I had many questions to ask him!

"Ahad". I called out, he turned his attention to me, his gaze still fixed on the road.

"Can I ask you something?" I asked.

"Go ahead". He said and nodded his head.

"Do you smoke everyday?" I asked, trying not to sound harsh or judgemental, and I was worried because usually the ones who smoke are addicted to it. Ya Allah! Please, let the answer be 'No'. I prayed silently.

"No, I do it when I'm overly stressed". He said calmly, and I looked at him. "But that is the real test right? How you handle yourself when you are overly stressed or angry". I spoke logically and he hummed.

"Yeah, you're right. That time when you saw me there, was the first time I did it after our marriage, it won't happen again". He spoke sincerely and I hummed, looking out of the window.

It was his turn now, "Why didn't you inform me about your return?"

"To be really honest, I wanted to surprise you by coming directly to your office but then I got to know that Hiba was unwell. So I had to go there, postponing the idea for evening! I didn't know My Husband was missing me so much". I spoke teasingly and he looked at me, amused.

"Didn't you?" He asked.

"What?" I knew what he meant but still.

"Didn't you miss me?" He elaborated and I bit my lower lip, suppressing a smile.

"No". I spoke confidently only for him to chuckle, my brows furrowed in confusion.

"What's so funny?" I asked, narrowing my eyes at him.

"Aapse jhooth bhi sahi se nahi bola jata". He laughed again, the low rumble vibrating out of his chest. Okay! Now I was angry.
(You can't even lie properly)

"You know what! Drop me here. I'll take a cab. I'm not coming with you". I scolded him, folding my arms and glaring at him intensely.

"What's with this sudden change of mood madam?" He asked mockingly, fuelling my anger further.

"Ahhaddd! I'm gonna tell Mom that you trouble me alott". I whined, almost at the verge of crying. Even I didn't know why I was reacting like this, I think my periods are on the way!!
