"What did you two talk ?" zaira whispered beside amaal with excited tone " what were you talking for so long? " zaira bitted her lips as she teased . They were all seated around,parted into boy and girls side as to play some games as per Arab rituals.

Amaal eyes fixed at alyhan who was seating across from her, glaring at him while zaira bombarded with questions .alyhan was talking on the phone with someone when he felt a strong gaze on him and looked up to see amaal brown gaze fixed on me , she didn't diverted her gaze away even when he locked her eyes, she was looking straight into his eyes in challenging way, telling him she was not a weak person that he could play with .

" Let begin the game " announced the host and alyhan tore his gaze away from her ."make a circle"people started to gather around in a circle , excited to play the game .

"Let's start with passing pillow, I will tell the rules and regulations. When the music will start, you have to pass the pillow around and on the stop of music ,the person who is holding the pillow is eliminated and not only that ,the person who is eliminated has to pick a punishment from the cheat box " everyone cheered and with the dua lips music ,the game begin . On the first round aleen was out and she had got a punishment of doing some mimicry of her favourite actor and she choose Kristian Stewart from Twilight .

"Let's the game continue" the game begins again and few of people were eliminated,even zaira was out of game and the only remaining people were amaal ,alyhan , her aunty , khadeeja and some people from his side.

" Come closer , make a small round " they moved close making a small circle . Alyhan was next to amaal , their lap touched as they moved close, sending some electric waves to both where amaal gave a sly glare at him where he returned.

"Gorilla 🦍" her eyes stared at him like a beam of fire while calling whatever she wanted inside her mind to control herself from kicking his ass.

"Buffalo 🐃" he returned with same glare while giving a nick name to her

"Let's begin "both tore the gaze away on the call of host and concentrated on the game . Alan Walker song played in the background ,it was faded and was on , Amaal had moved the pillow for alyhan to take when alyhan Made a slow move to receive and the song suddenly halted .

"Amaal out " the host announced where amaal opened her mouth to justify telling alyhan cheated when people started to cheer , telling her to come up and pick her punishment . Feeling failed , she walked up and picked a cheat .

"It's tit for tat amaal, for what you said out there few hours before" alyhan knowingly tricked her and felt proud of himself, he was smiling smugly as she was eliminated and now it was her turn to choose the punishment .

"May the worst come out to you" he prayed .

"What is it ?" the host peeked at the paper in her hand and read out " a romantic couple dance " people cheered while the smugly smile started to drop of from alyhan face, he knew something was coming on his way .

" Any patner "every eyes turned at the only person who sat glued at his spot. Alyhan looked around, raising his eyebrows above his eyes, asking like a dumb at why people were staring at him .

"Alyhan go " it was his mother who cheered .

" Move big man " aleen pushed him up to the floor, alyhan stumbled on his move as he walked up to her , standing beside her and gazing at the small circle of people infront of him .

"Freaking fate " he cursed . His own trick weighed on himself.

" Some music please" at the announcement of the host , the white powerful radiant of light switch to a blue romantic colour, making the atmosphere to look suitable for a couple dance . Alyhan reluctantly moved his palm out for her to take where Amaal took hold of his hand and he placed his other hand on her waist, making small gasp to come up her throat,she was feeling electrical waves running down her body as his hand rested on her tiny waist and she was this close to him that she was feeling his hot breath hitting on her face as he was exhaling and inhaling heavily through his nostrils to compose himself .

" Let get it end with " he murmured before starting with the slow steps , moving and turning on the rythme of the song .

" You got trapped in your own trick " Amaal whispered out near his ear when she got close to him and took the opportunity to mock him , she chuckled to add fuel to the burning flame . Alyhan pushed and  pulled her back as the dance move, both the pair of eyes staring at eachother as they moved , he poked his tongue inside his cheek while some strand of his hair fall on his face , he was glowing bright under the dim light, anyone could have been sweeped by his beautiful by the was he was poking and chewing his cheeks for a comeback where amaal resisted herself from falling for any of his charm as she knew he was nothing but pure sign of danger .

Alyhan made her to twirl and pulled her back to collapse on his hard chest with her back " Still you lost the game "his husky voice spoke out near her ear as his both hand moved to rest on front of her waist line and his chin rested on her shoulder blade , his hot breath were hitting on her face and his Vanilla Cologne were making her eyelids to shut and sniff the magnificent redolence as he was this close that his hard abs were making her feel and tingles to run down her stomach . She moved out from his grasp when his hands holded her back , making her pause on the step , the pose looked like a matching step to song and audience were enjoying thinking they were giving a romantic couple dance but in reality  both were really struggling hard from scratching and pulling hair of one other .

He pulled her back again to himself, making her to tose back on his chiseled chest ,while he ran his hand around her arm , she glupped as the touch were making her feel jelly and tingles all around the body .

" What are you,five ?" She made herself to question out in whisper even tho goosebumps were all standing out her skin as his one hand rested on her waist and while other ran on her arms .

" Whatever you think " his lips were touching down near her earlobe as he spoke , making her orgasm to develop as it was her sensitive part . She stayed still against his chest as her chest bounced up and down to breath , both were panting for small breath by now .

"Ohhh~" the cheering of crowd made them to apart and amaal to to run down the stage with her cheeks painting crimson red, she didn't whether it was due to embarrassment or she was blushing .

" That was hot " zaira giggled as amaal sat near her, still panting for breath, her breath being unrhythmic was not due to the knackers from dance but by the orgasm and the uneven feeling that was crippling up her body " such a romantic man he is " zaira added dreamly while amaal glupped,still reckoning on the touches of him, he really had some magical touches that could make anyone feel butterflies in the stomach .

"It's alyhan " amaal said while staring a head blankly .

"I know his name is alyhan and he is your husband " zaira snorted through her nostrils while lips crinkling to amused smile at why amaal was saying it .

"Alyhan ,the guy from my school " this time she turned to face zaira and emphasised on her each words, giving pause on wherever required . Zaira opened her mouth to say something when her bulb in the mind flickered and she was left hanging her jaw down the floor .

"Al ..al..alyhan , from redwood?" Zaira eyes stared at amaal as if she was seeing a ghost, so wide and horrified she looked at .

"Yes " amaal hissed .

"B..bu..that ."zaira was to say something when amaal mom called out for her .

"Amaal come here" saying it, amaal mom took amaal with her while zaira sat there staring at the figure who disappeared with her mom .

On the other hand alyhan was happy that he for the first time left amaal speechless, he knew every female would have some impact by his touches as he was so good with it . He had some romantic dose with some female ,it was only till a touch and not more than that as he never liked it to take it to his beds, even tho he played around with female in his teenage life,he never once layed with any one of them and by the knowledge of his touches he knew where she would have the weak spots and how to make her go speechless by the touches.

"Like every gold digger,she too is affected with it " he smirked . The only frame of Amaal that alyhan had set in his mind was - she was gold digger, she is always behind everyone for their money and those pictures of her with anonymous guy still remained fresh in his mind - his nerve still popped up by thinking about it. For his own good,  he had forgot even about her existence and was really happy and busy with his own life, he had moved on with her memories and had buried his feelings for her after how she had left him to die in his home , he had completely discharged his feelings for her until she was  back again in his life ,but this time the one feeling he had for her was full of hate and disgust ,there was no space for love for her in him, he had completely shut that door for her and now it was only hate that remained for her in his heart.

"She is a gold digger and harlots, I know her intentions now and i would never again fall for her as my heart is filled with full of venom for her, she can never take the place of love again in my heart as it is already sealed for other person and that is samiya . After this shit of year contract ,I would never see amaal face again and would settle my life with the one who is waiting for me out there" were all the thought that ran up his mind as he stared at the figure that was dragged by her mom .

After few minutes the next round of games were started

" Another game on the table " the other game was blasting the balloon from other hands and whoever stand last with their balloon saved in their hands would win the game .

" 1,2,3...start " with the start people attacked eachother, trying to blast their baloon. Amaal stood at side, waiting everyone to fight over eachother and in last she would win the game as her balloon would be still as it is .

She was happy that no one had noticed her until alyan walked near her .

" All alone,let me help you" he tried to attack her balloon when she Dodge.

"Not so easy mr kuraishi" she whispered . Both were trying to attack eachother , jabbing against the shoulder, thank to amaal high heels that helped her to match his height as he was this tall and was towering her as she reached his nose highest .

"Let's see " alyhan challenged back .

This time amaal Made a move and alyhan backed off , Again she moved front to attack him where he marched at her , resulting both to collapse and hit hard on the chest , she raised her head up to whisper a shout at him when her lips brushed against his side lips as he simultaneously moved close to glare at her ,both went numb, alyhan was more shocked than amaal as her lips had touched his lip lines , making him to feel the sensation this time . amaal who was numb for a second recalled her posture and  seized the opportunity in her hand as he was stood stiff in his position , she deliberately stomped his feet , making him whine and catch his toe finger that she stomped, at the action of caressing his toe his hand brought his baloon forward unwittingly and she took the chance and blasted his baloon . People who were all busy enjoying the other people show ,turned around at the couple at the sound of balloon blast as they stood in the corner, out of everyone sight .

"Alyhan out " it was his little sister Sarah who screamed with excited tone " amaal still on the game " Sarah was so fast to change her priorities . alyhan eyes throwed dragger at the women who stood infront of him while switching her lips side to side , giving him a mocking smile .

"The witch is playing her trick, she even made Sarah to take her side so soon ,it's not even been a day and she already started to paly her tricks on people " he gave a small sly bark at her before walking out the marked territory of the game .

After playing few more games , while throwing daggers at eachother to show how they both hated eachother existence , the game finally came to an end . People were thinking they were giving a lovely dovey shots through eyes but in reality they were killing eachother through it .

"Let's eat the dinner " everyone walked into the garden where dinner were set on the table, amaal and alyhan again were made to seat together alone ,far from everyone so that newly wed could have their time to chat and engage  .

"How I wish I could poisen you with this  food " alyhan said through a tight pasted smile , giving people a fake vibe that they both were having a sweet conversation .

"Mutual " she reflected the same smile of his while pouring some curry substance on his plate " opps" she gave a mocking guilty face while he looked at her as if was going to kill her as she had poured the hot curry on his dress, making the burning sensation to tingle his chest as it was really hot.

"Any thing you need? " it was amaal uncle who interrupted their war and brought peace for minute .

"No ,we are fine " alyhan features immediately changed into a heart mending smile .

"If you need anything  don't hesitate to ask . Amaal serve him " amaal stood up from her chair to move to his side when he yelled out sudden

"No, no I'm fine , I can serve myself " he knew that if he let her serve him then she will deliberately pour some hot food over his head and name it clumsy ." Let me serve my wife rather" he smiled and stood up and her uncle left them alone as thinking to give the new weds sometime alone " what do you like amaal?"he straightened his coat as he stood up and walked near her, lips rosing to a knowing mischievous smile .

"No need to bother yourself, I can serve , I do have hands " by his smile, amaal knew he was planning something and as per her thoughts being right ,he intentionally poured a bowl of soup on her feet, making her to yelp and shut her mouth promptly as she didn't wanted anyone to look at them and find any suspicious .

"2 for alyhan and 2 for amaal  , even now but not soon " he said their score of taking down eachother , they're at the mutual score of roasting and making one other suffer but alyhan had set up his mind to lead the score as he already had planned so much for the little Revenge.

Grinding the teeth and shoting him with eyes, she stood up from her seat and walked inside the house, excusing herself from the guest saying she had poured some soup on her dress accidentally.

Amaal mother helped her to walk in and to change while giving her some instructions on how to obey her husband to night while amaal just nod her head until she left her to be alone , telling alyhan would come up any minute and she needed to wear something good and comfortable .

On the other hand ,alyhan was trying his best not to chortle out as he covered his mouth with his long index and middle finger placed above , looking at the direction where the mad woman walked out while giving a fake reason.

"More up to come amaal, just hold up . You started this game and I'm going to end it " his lips smirked up until he felt a vibration against his pant pocket and pulled out his phone to see a call from his PA .

"Hello" he said where the caller on the other end spoke about important business " yea , let's finalize it to next month, I would be flying  back soon " he talk for few more minutes until his mother showed up and called his name behind him .

"Alyhan " alyhan turned around while still talking over the phone " put that device down " she ordered .

"I will talk to you later " saying it ,he cut the call and turned his full attention to her "what happened?" He asked calmly .

"Today is your day , you should be enjoying than tensing about works, atleast for today put that device down " she took the phone from his hands, giving him a fake glare .

" Mom it's important" he said while giving a complaining face .

" Nothing is more important than your day, you can deal with it other day, now go up the room , everything is set up for you there" she hold his hand and led him inside the house and pushed him  up the stairs to go by himself where he groaned inwardly and walked.

He opened the door and walked in to be welcomed by the orange dim light that emitted the room , he closed the door behind him and moved forward to see a figure all covered in a comfort sleeping in the bed .

Alyhan looked around to find any couch to sleep to see none "where should I be sleeping ?" He questioned frustrated , gritting his teeth while standing near the door .

" I layed the comfort down for you to sleep" came a voice from the figure who had covered herself into a mummy .

"Are you suggesting me to sleep on the floor?" He asked disbelieved , eyeing the sleeping figure and then at the cot that were spread down.

"If you can understand English ,then yes " she replied .alyhan closed his eyes, trying to control his angry that was raising on his peak , he pinched his bridge of nose , lips kissed in to control him from banging her head .

" This is how you treat your guests?" He asked out rather calmly this time.

"Considering you, then yes " alyhan sighed frustrated as he knew there was no way she was going to back down or let him sleep on the bed , neither he wanted to sleep beside her .

"Is there no couch ?" He asked vexed , turning 180° around the room to find any couch, again.

"We aren't rich like you Mr kuraishi,we are middle class family ,try to adjust into it , atleast for the night " alyhan had set up his mind that when they will fly back to his home then he would make her sleep on the floor still they stayed in the same room .

" What a fate " he cursed as he layed down . Not in once after that day of trip from school he had layed down on the floor, he got good sleep only when his body touched the soft mattress where this hard floor was making him uncomfortable to sleep , tossing and flipping to adjust his posture .

" Can you atleast off that shitting damn lights " he barked

"No" came the instant reply under the covers  .

"What are you , five ?" He barked .

"And you, fifty?" They both brawled over little things .

Alyhan shut his mouth as he thought it was futile to talk to her as she didn't had the thing called brain .

"Alyhan 2 amaal 3" this time amaal pointed out the score, adding more fuel to his heated engine.

"Such a daft she is " he murmured to himself as he layed his hand under his head and tried to dose off .

The night fall into the dark as both the body layed down but none slept . One was sobbing silently under the blanket as she thought of her fate . She was trying her best to not make any noise as she cried silently under the comfort .

"Yea allah why are you doing this to me . I thought this was my new beginning,i was going to be finally happy after so long of suffering but then you had different plan for me "

'allah plans are always better than our ' came a voice behind her mind .

" Allah i don't know what is it or where is my life leading to but I trust you ,I trust you that you will be there with me in my every phase of life and will help me , you're the only one I rely on , I trust you o my lord " she had no one to share about what was going on her life except Allah , she couldn't tell her mother to lessen the burden not any of the family members,now all she had is her allah and she trusted him that he would never leave her hand .

On the other hand alyhan tossed and flip to find no sleep, he couldn't make himself comfortable to lay as his back was aching by sleeping on the hard floor .

"Ahhh" he heard small hiccups coming from under the blankets .

"Is she crying?" He thought , he felt his heart clench but then all the sympathy fade away when he remembered what she done with him . Those memories of her leaving him to die without admitting to hospital still remained fresh in his mind , he still couldn't forget of how she heartlessly left him to die and it was samiya who helped him .

She was the women who broke his heart and those pictures of her with a anonymous man flashed through his mind , he loved her back then but she had broken his heart and now the karma was hitting her and he felt not to show any sympathy towards her because she deserves it .

"Gold digger like you deserve all this , this is all karma that is hitting you amaal, you're the women that I would never want "
