Zain walked into the room still carrying me in his arms. He gently placed me down on the bed and sat facing me. I moved back a little. Was he really taking this marriage seriously? Our marriage... it wasn't really a marriage, was it? Neither of us had accepted it nor each other as husband as wife. Then why was he doing all of this? "Zain," I said, softly, as he leaned towards me. I moved back. "Zain," I repeated. He didn't stop. He kept moving closer. He brought his hand up to my face and gently pushed back the hair that had escaped. I looked up at him and our eyes met. His hand rested on my shoulder. Was this really happening? Or was I just imagining it? Suddenly, he pushed me back and got up. His back was facing me. "Tume kya laga, ki tum mujhe is shaadi ki chakkar mein phasa lo gi aur main tumari har ek ek baat manta jaunga?" he said. "Zain..." I said. I wanted to explain everything to him. If only he would give me a chance. I wanted to tell him that this marriage was out of helplessness. Not because I loved him. He turned around and leaned in close to me. That loving look in his eyes had now changed to one of hatred. "Tume jo karna tha, woh toh tum ne kiya. Ab meri baari hain. Welcome to hell, Aaliyah Gulam Haider, oh sorry. Aaliya Zain Abdullah," he said. He turned around and left the room. I brought my knees up to my chest. All of that that had just happened, Zain's gentleness, that loving look, it was only just a dream...
A/N: So that was like horrible... Ready for any criticism you would like to throw at me 😊
