ARA’S POV
Oh my God, is he really a ghost? My mind thought, but the next second, I laughed loudly at my thoughts.
“You can share what makes you so happy suddenly.” I heard his voice.
Ignoring him completely because I didn’t want to share my stupid thoughts and make a fool of myself, I said slowly, “Azar.”
He said, Hmmm,” and I rolled my eyes. God, he and his hmmm.
I again pulled up and said, “You know what you’re saying?”
“I say nothing without thinking, darling.” God, this stubborn man, I thought.
“And you know that’s not possible, right?” I said, crossing my fingers.
He looked up, sat back on the sofa, and looked at me. He bends a little towards me, adjusts my dress properly, and gives me a hand to sit back, which I did. He again pulls me back to his lap, and I look down in shame.
First, this is so embarrassing for whatever we did, and second, the way he touched me and I let him do everything with no complaint
‘God, please let me die today.’ I close my eyes, thinking.
“My Queen, you don’t have to get embarrassed by anything. Let us not forget we are man and wife, and we have rights to do more of this.”
Hearing this, I felt some ease; he is right. We are now man and wife, and we have all rights to each other.
I bit my lips, controlled my smile, and looked up, and he was already looking at me with an admiring smile.
He releases my lips with his thumb and shakes his head, and I know the meaning better.
“So now tell me why this is not possible,” he asked me.
“Because we are not married, sir,” I stated as a matter of fact.
He touched my nuptial chain (nuptial chain) and said, “Then why are you wearing this if we are not married?”
I pouted in annoyance. “I know we are married, but I want to get married with all the rituals, and till then we cannot stay together, and that’s final.”
He raises his eyebrows, and I know I have crossed my limits.
“I cannot live without you, not even for a second. And we are staying together from today on, and that is final.” He declared, looking directly into my eyes, and I shudder at his looks.
But somehow anger is rising in me, and I know I will burst out any minute, so I got up and went towards the kitchen, as I needed water to calm myself.
I filled my glass, drank in one go, and closed my eyes, holding my platform.
I felt his arms around my waist. And he hugs me from behind.
I stayed still as I was still trying to calm myself.
“You don’t want to be with me?” He asked me, putting his head on my shoulder.
Holding his hand, turning around his side, and holding his face with my tiny palm. I know he is lonely. His grandfather has shared a few things about him. He does not have any friends other than Mason because he has a major trust issue.
“Sire, do you think I don’t want to be with you? I want to be with you all the time, if possible. I want to be in your arms forever, but we need to understand there are a few more lives attached to us.” I paused to see his reaction, but I got none, so again I said, “Do you know how much mom and Father are excited about this marriage? And what about Grandfather? They have all been preparing for our big day for a long time.
Also, I only have three days with my parents, and I want to cherish that time with them.
After that, I am all yours, day and night. But till then, please understand. It is only two days from now. Tomorrow is Mehndi, and the day after, we are getting married.
Mom and Dad respected our decision to be married today. Don’t you think we should fulfil their dreams too?” I asked, looking into his eyes, and I knew I hit the bullseye.
“So, after that, you will be mine all day and night?” He raised his eyebrows.
“You only got this in all that I said.” I asked in disbelief.
“My Queen, I am a businessman, and profit is the only thing that interests me.” He says this, smirking at me.
“So, this is all business for you?” I asked with a little anger.
He shook his head and said “Nope, but the profit margin is very high in your proposal”. He said it with a playful smile.
“So, are you accepting my proposal?” I asked with hopeful eyes.
He kissed my forehead and said, “Yes.”
I squeal in happiness and hug him tightly. “Thank you so much, Azar.”
“You are welcome. Now let’s go. I will drop you home first, then I will go to the hospital.” He says this, holding my hand.
“Why? Let me come with you.” I requested while walking behind him.
“No, it is too late, and tomorrow you have a long day, so take a rest. I will call you, and once Grandfather wakes up and sees you the day after,” After saying that, he looked back at me and kissed my nose.
The next day passed so fast with many guests in the house, music, and dancing.
I spoke to Grandfather once he was up, and I wanted to go to meet him, but he denied my request, saying it was we have some rituals to do, so I should stay home.
Mom and father got emotional seeing my Heena. Father fed me my food, saying he does not know when he will get a chance like this next time. Hearing this, I had tears in my eyes too.
I could not see Sanya much, and it seems like she is avoiding me. She was mostly with Auntie.
