Love? OR Politics?

Unexpected Part-1

"You're going to take back whatever you said..." he said pointing his index finger at her.

Her eyes turned as saucers, gulping the lump forming inside her throat she composed herself, eyes turning straight along with her shoulders. Taking a deep breath she spoke, "Why would I do that?"

"If you don't then you'll face serious circumstances.... Don't ruin what I've spent years making or there will be consequences."

"I'm not scared of you and neither of your threats..... Go do whatever you want to."

He chuckled at her response and shook his head in amusement and disappointment, "You would never speak to me like that you know that.... So where's all this courage coming from... Hun?"

She couldn't say a word, her mouth started to dry by every passing second like a desert. He moved.... Taking a few steps in her direction he smirked evilly reaching her office desk, he placed his finger tips on one corner of the desk and smirked again while looking at the desk top where he had placed his fingers on. Moving his fingertips a little further in her direction on the desk he spoke near her ear, "Cat caught your tongue Hun? Now listen to me and listen good.... Take back all you've said and you will be spared." With that he moved away from her fixing his suit jacket and with that stoic expression he looked at her for a moment and exited her office.

She sighed..... Taking a deep breath she closed her eyes with welled up tears and swallowed the lump in her throat. She lowered her head in dismay...... contemplating about something she composed herself and dialed a number.

"Hello"

***********************

She was sitting in front of him fidgeting with her fingers.... He kept looking at her and she kept waiting for him to say whatever he wanted to say. He waited, wanting for her to look up from her lap to his eyes while she wanted for him to say something as quickly as he could as she no longer wanted to be around him, it was only because of his continuous brags to meet him so that he could further explain himself.

The past couple of weeks had been rough for both of them. Both not talking to each other, ignoring calls, text messages and even avoided each other while being in the same room .... As soon as the work used to finish Anum would be the first one to escape quickly while Sohail kept stealing glances at her wanting to find a way to confront her.

He sighed, "It's done...." He spoke curtly.

Her head shot up at him in confusion and slight glimpse of fear about what he would've done...... he shut his eyes trying to ease the fire emerging on his insides and rubbed his jaw with his fingers and opened his eyes again, this time with not even an ounce of rage and fire present in his eyes he spoke again.

"I've sorted out the matter with Saba."

She didn't say anything and swallowed thickly knowing this was not all he wanted to talk about and so she waited for him to continue. He too deliberately was taking much time in speaking but till how long could he keep it all in?

"I want you back..." he said while taking her hands in his and looking straight in her eyes. Anum could barely look into his eyes... all the while trying to look away from him as if she were a thief as if she was the one who messed up.

"Look at me please..." he plead jerking her hand a little slightly.

"So you can't even look at me....Hun?" he spoke to himself more than to her, sighing he once again mustered up all the courage he had and spoke.

"Anum.... Is this how much you trust me?"

"No... I trust you more than I trust myself, I trust you more than any person I know but this is not about trust...at all.... It's about how much blindly I am in love with you that I keep giving you a second chance and again it back fires me.... I am not complaining about your past or how much things are messed up in your life cause that's not what it is. But it hurts me that how every time we take a step forward but come crashing back to several steps behind and it's just so tiring and I don't know how long I can keep up with it."

He couldn't say a word, he just kept looking at her with mixed emotions......... Finally getting up from his seat he circled halfway from the table to her side, taking her hand placed on the table in his he made her get up from her seat. All the while confusion was evident on Anum's face.

Bending on his one knee, he took out a tiny red box...opening it revealed a simple yet elegant ring with his name engraved on the inside of the ring and a diamond placed on top it shining brightly in all its glory.

"Will you marry me?"
