Love And Revenge✔️

Fourteen

    There they were even after the hatred she had piled up, here she is married to him. And who knows when it would end but she got herself here and she can't give up just yet. Rumaisa kept thinking.

   Since they were brought to their house he hasn't looked at her not even once, she knew she was more worried about him ignoring her than pulling off her revenge successfully, she might lie to others about how she feels for him but she knows she can't lie to herself about it.

   He was seated using his phone, not letting anything distract him. She sat on the chair beside his, wearing her fitted atampa she wore at home before she was brought here.
    She thought things would be different but they aren't, he has been like this since last week. He only smiled and conversed with her when anty or any other parent were there. He couldn't even pretend when they went to his friend's wedding together last week but he kept talking freely with Hadiza and even offered to drive her home but anty told him to let Jabir take her.

"Aren't you sleepy?" He asks with his eyes still glued to his phone.
"You just remembered I exist?" She asks angrily.
     
"Calm down. If you don't want to sleep then you don't have to, I'm sleepy, goodnight" He says as he walked away, moments later she heard his door close.
    
She got up and took her bath before going to his room and knocking.
He opens the door.
"Can I sleep in your room tonight?"

He moves aside so she can enter before he closes the door.

Sarah was burning with fury.

    "Look, You and I want the same thing, for them to be apart but Mutassim who apparently has more power than three of us combined want them together" Kauthar replies.
Kauthar is Sarah's cousin, they both share a hidden hatred for Rumaisa.

"What I don't get is what he's doing all this for" she says.
"We will have to do something against this".
"Wait! We both know Jabir wants to separate them so he can have her so why are you helping him?" She asks a bit confused.
  
"Well for my own reason"
Kauthar looks at her suspiciously.
    
"Don't worry I don't have feelings for my step-nephew"
"I hope not because it will get messy"

:

"Morning" she greets him.
"Yeah morning. You're already awake?" He asks.
  
"Yeah. Let's have breakfast"
"Okay let me go freshen up" He says getting off the bed.

   She walks to the dinning room picked their food and took it to the living room. Moments later he joined her.
"Fried yam and egg sauce with tea? Splendid".
   
"Well what did you eat for breakfast before?" She asks.
"Usually coffee or tea only because I have to go to work on time".
  
They continue to munch on their food while watching.
"Anyways I'm curious about something".
"What?" He asks.

"This last week you have been behaving differently with me until last night when I went to see you, what happened?" She asks.
   
"Honestly I can't tell you what it is exactly, I'm still not sure".
"Okay then".
    
"But I'm sorry about it, I don't want things to start off messed up".
Oh it began way before now. She thinks.
    
"Come on. We're in this together, we should work on our relationship together, don't you agree?" She says smiling evilly.
  
"Yeah" He says awkwardly. He knew she was being way to approachable, she wouldn't agree with everything he says even when she was deeply in love with him, at least he knew that much.
  
They finished eating and she picked up the dirty dishes to give to the maid to wash meanwhile he went straight to the bathroom to take his bath. He couldn't stop thinking of her, what she was planning but he knew he had to push her just enough to get something incriminating.
  
After he took his bath he got dressed and went back to the living room where she was watching.
  "You're done already?" She asks.
"Yeah I am, where you waiting for me?" He asks back.
   
"Do you usually take hours bathing?"
"Yeah. Believe I thinking while taking a shower is is progressive" He answers back smiling.
"Ahh! Intense" she laughs.

He starts thinking of a way to bring the topic up even though he wants everything to be cool between them, he can't pretend that something is off about are attitude towards him.
    
"How did you feel?" He asks.
"About what?"
"You must have felt like strangling me to death or erase me from existence"

"Come on. I forgive you, I know you were probably nervous that we where alone" she answers back smiling.
"Not last night. The day you found out someone leaked the video".

She freezes, her smile disappears. He could clearly see sadness and anger all over her face.
"Why are we talking about the past?" She asks forcing a smile on her face.
"We have to. If we don't now we never will and it's so obvious you aren't over this whole issue".

"I am, we are. You didn't do it, I trust you, what else should we talk about?"
"And how did you know I didn't do it?" He asks. She immediately turns to look at him, if you could shoot daggers from your eyes he would have been long gone "I'm not saying I did it but I want to know why you think I didn't?"

"Because I know you. You wouldn't do such a thing. I know that much"
"And what if I did?"
"Did you?" She asks.

"How did you feel when you found out?"
"I don't want to talk about this with you?"
"If we are cool then why can you talk about it with other people freely except me?" He asks tilting his head, staring deeply at her.

     "Okay then. I felt heartbroken at first, I kept thinking about why you would do something like that to me. Then I started getting angry that you could do such a thing to me. I felt like ripping you into pieces" he notices she was completely zoned out like she just saying exactly what she felt at that moment.

"I felt like ruining you so much not even the people that love you would recognize you. I wanted to make everyone see what happens to the guy that thinks he can joke around with me, I knew forgiveness was never going to be an option". 

    "Wow! Intense" he says smiling.

"Umm...but that would be stupid" it's like she just snapped out and realized what she had just said "I knew it could've been anyone who had access to your room, right?"

"Ofcourse no one is that mentally deranged. Anyways thanks for believing in me but I have to meet up with a client, I have to go change" he gives her a peck and walks away.

Now he was 100% sure there was no way things were smooth between them.
