Chapter 5

Zayaan was sitting in the living room alone at night thinking about everything, house was quiet enough to hear one's own breathing. He thought about how she looks when she is angry, how her nose and cheeks gets red when she cries or gets embarrassed or blush. How she smiles at Asfandyar's stupid jokes ,how she becomes extremely reserve when she sense Zayaan was near her ,how she fights with him over small things forgetting about all her reserve nature. How she clutched at his arm scared of a cockroach, how she poured the cold water on him without being scared of him. He closed his eyes smiling at the changes that he was noticing in his home. Laughter of his men at her stupidities then making amends for her when she gets angry with them for making fun of her. People running after each other playfully, Anumta trying new recipes with Manum in the kitchen. He never saw all this happening before in this place .Sometimes he saw her crying quietly ,her tears always filled his heart with guilt but she never talks about it.

He was resting his head on the back of the sofa when he heard light footsteps ,Zayaan got up very alert and followed the footsteps, he sighed looking at Manum

"Manum"?? he called her and she stopped.

"Why are you outside your room at this time of night"?? he asked gently coming near her

"I was just going to bed ,I was in the lawn" she explained avoiding his eyes.

"Were you crying" ??? he looked at her swelled face

"No" she answered in a light tone turning back to her room when Zayaan caught her hand

Manum froze where she stood.

"What happened?? Why were you crying"?? He asked still holding her hand

"I wasn't crying, let my hand go" she said coldly this time

Zayaan still didn't let her hand go.

"Manum, lying won't get you anywhere. We'll stand here all night until you tell me the reason behind your crying". He replied back firmly

"Why do you care suddenly , its all because of you. You did all this .I don't even know where my parents are because of you, they think I was having an affair with you". She retorted back harshly

Zayaan sighed and wrapped his arms around her and Manum's body turned into stone in shock

His chest was warm ,he put his chin on her head tightening his arms around her.

"What the hell are you doing" Manum tried to get out of his arms but failed

"Let me go" she tried to push him back but he didn't even budge.

"Will you relax, I am not doing anything."Zayaan replied in a soft but deep voice

"let me go"

"No"

"Let me go this instant or I..."

"Manum I am not letting you go and stop trying to move you can't win you know that".

After awhile she relaxed in his arms putting her head on his chest silently.

"You want to meet them "??? Zayaan whispered in her ear.
