Chapter 22
Fiza was getting ready for office. She was cursing her luck that she had another party to attend tonight. She had tried her maximum to squirm out of it. But Nidha had threatened to stop speaking to her if she didn't show up at Jays party.
Fiza picked up her watch and noticed the dent on it.
Flashback'.
Fiza was following Aysha and Abhay when her car had broken down. She was cursing her luk when the heavy downpour started. A gang of hooligans came near her and stopped their car. She tried to walk away but one of them got down from the jeep and caught her wrist. The rest started surrounding her. Suddenly the one holding her arm was thrown into the air. Fiza saw Armaan standing between her and the hooligans. Armaan single handedly fought the hooligans off. By the time this was over Armaan and Fiza were completely drenched. Armaan wound his coat arround Fiza and led her to his car.
They drove towards her home in silence.
On reaching her house Fiza thanked Armaan and was about to go away when
"Fiza please don't mistake me'.the bet was made playfully'.I had no itention to hurt Ayesha" Armaan said catching her hand.
"Armaan let go off my hand" Fiza said without turning.
"Fiza please" Armaan said again.
"What please Armaan'..what you did for me now I will never forget'I will always be grateful'.but on the other hand that very same person is plotting to break a young girls heart'..Armaan do you even know how old she is?'.Ayesha is just eighteen Armaan'a hurt at this sensitive age will last forever as a scar'..and it is heart we are talking about'off course you wouldn't know about it'.you know nothing more than flirting and changing girls like clothes'.what would you understand" Fiza said hurt and disgusted.
Armaan had enough. First of all her scent was driving him crazy. Cherry on top she refused to understand. He pulled her by force and slammed her against his car pressing both her wrists on it causing a dent in her watch.
"You are right I won't understand what heart is'.I who love a girl madly knowing that I can never have her'..listen you little fool'.I made a mistake I agree and I will rectify it myself'but I won't just standby taking nonsense from a girl like you who is far below my standard" Armaan hissed angrily."You are only worth this"
Armaan planted a forceful kiss on her luscious wet lips. Fiza was stunned beyond words.
Flashback ends'.
The kiss and his words of loving someone madly haunted her in sleep and also when awake.
She felt disgusted when she thought of it. Her body had responded to his kiss in strangest manner. She had yearned for it last longer at the time.
So much for hating him Fiza thought angrily.
She headed towards the hall. She saw her mother sitting in the couch restlessly folding and unfolding her finger. She went and sat besides her.
"Mumma kya hua,Di teek tho hain na" Fiza asked concerned.
Her sister had been admitted to the hospital yesterday due to pressure rise. The whole family was concerned for her. It was her first child and there was a lot of complications.
"She is fine beta I am just a little tensed'.but you don't get worried huh'.go to your office'if you are needed I will call you" her mom explained.
"Don't forget mumma'.Karan can you leave me to office today'.my car is taken for service" Fiza asked her brother.
"Sure choti di'.lets go" Karan said.
Fiza kissed her moms forehead and headed out.
She went with Karan on his bike.
"Here we are Di'.whoa this is one huge territory" Karan admired the Malik Enterprises.
He noticed his sister was distracted.
"Choti di is everything alright?" Karan asked her.
"Um yeah Karan'..just tensed about Di" Fiza replied with a small smile.
Karan was close to both his sisters but more to Fiza. He knew that something else was also eating her mind. But he didn't ask.
"I know the best way to cheer you up" Karan said beaming.
"And what is that?" Fiza asked
"This" saying this Karan hugged his sister.
Fiza was surprised but hugged back with a smile
"Di everything will be alright'we might soon get a two nephews or nieces or a mixture don't know which" Karan said and planted a small kiss on his sisters cheek.
Above them in a spacious office a glass broke.
Armaan had never felt jealousy in this strong an intensity. The site of Fiza being hugged and kissed by another man had simply boiled his blood(not that he had any). He had purposefully been forceful on her that night. He wanted her to hate him, to loathe him. But he still couldn't bare to see someone else touch her. The only reason he left those hooligans alive was because Fiza was witnessing the fight. Else they would have been 6 feet under by now.
The kiss had been full of anger. It would have turned passionate had he not controlled himself. The strangest thing was Fiza had responded to him.
The day passed on to afternoon with Armaan and Fiza vehemently ignoring each other.
Fiza was in the corridor when her phone rang.
"Mumma" Fiza took the call.
Armaan coming out of his office stopped to listen to her conversation. She sounded worried.
So when she screamed Armaan thought it was because something had happened to her mom. He rushed towards her.
Fiza hugged him suddenly.She was almost jumping up and down in excitement.
"Armaan my Di delivered'.twins a boy and girl'.I am a massi now" Fiza shouted with happiness and tears in her eyes. She had screamed in excitement.
"That is the matter'.why are you screaming like mad and hugging me'.I am not the guy on the bike" Armaan said a little roughly.
"Oh I am sorry'.did that in excitement" Fiza said moving away
"Well congrats to your family'.shouldn't you be calling the guy on the bike" Armaan said emphasizing the last phrase.
Fiza frowned.
Am I imagining or is he jealous Fiza thought
"Mr . Armaan Malik the guy on the bike has a name for your info'he is Karan my '" Fiza lingered purposefully. She saw Armaan balling his fists and smirked.
"My younger brother and a great friend'.I have to ask for an early leave Armaan'..Karan is coming to get me'.can I go please" Fiza asked.
Armaan was dumbstruck and relieved. He quickly adjusted his expression.
"Yeah sure'.tell your Di congrats'.I will visit soon" Armaan smiled and gave her permission.
"Armaan please do talk to Abhay" Fiza reminded him again.
"Don't worry'.if I can't talk Abhay out of it'.I will tell Ayesha the truth'.I promise" Armaan pressed her hand lightly.
Fiza gave him her best smile.
