Out of fear she was not even able to raise her head and kept her eyes casted down.
He lifted her head up with his forefinger, underneath her chin and stared directly into her mesmerizing hazel eyes.
"Understood?"
"Yy....ye..ss" she croaked out. Her eyes were widened with fear and hands were fisting the bedsheet. Her cheeks were imprinted with red finger marks.
"Good. Now take of your clothes and fulfill your duty" he ordered.
She only pleaded him with her eyes. She was FINISHED!

She looked towards Irtaza who was already looking at him, waiting for her to answer when he turned his head back towards Moosa already knowing what she will answer.
"No chic..ken roast." she replied, she didn't has enough courage to go against him. She didn't want to face his wrath. She was afraid.
"Sure" Moosa said and placed chicken roast in her plate. She looked at it. She can't even eat what she desires.Β
His eyes were as if challenging her, demanding her to go against his decision, his order, his command and she answered fearing his anger.
A lone tear managed to escape her eye which she cleared instantly before Moosa can see it otherwise it might double her punishment.
Minutes passed and they all were enjoying there dinner except Zahra. All the servants had left the room as Irtaza and Moosa were having their 'business' talks while she was eating the dry piece of chicken. To her surprise Irtaza also was eating the same dish as hers. She wondered when he has the opportunity then why is he leaving all the tasty dishes aside and eating the weird chicken roast.
"And when you both are going for honeymoon?" he asked breaking her trance and her eyes widened a bit.
"On the same day when you will marry" he replied, a slight tint of humor in his voice.
"Ah! brother you can also answer me directly that you're not going anywhere." He laughed.
"But go to honeymoon soon." he said in his 'advisy' tone.
"You marry soon then. You know how excited I'm to see my only friend as a groom."
Zahra was a bit surprise on seeing Irtaza talking with him so casually. He always had been so rude towards her. She had barely seen him smiling towards her after he got to know about her betrayal.Β
His eyes were always cold and showing only hatred and loathe. If it was in her hands she had never betrayed him, she had never tried to act like that she has accepted this marriage because she did has a idea what kind of pain one's betrayal give to other's heart.
"How do you live with him Zahra? He is so boring." Moosa suddenly said, breaking her trance.
She abruptly panicked when Moosa asked her and for a second Irtaza turned his head and looked towards her.
"I...I'm happy" she answered whatever came into her mind in the panic mode.
Irtaza was looking at her. This thing made her panic.
"Good. So what do you study Zahra?"Moosa asked, trying to initiate a conversation with her.Β
"I...I..Doctor of pharmacy. My baba chose this profession for me." she replied, proudly.
"Then how many years left for the degree?"
"One"
"Nice. Hope to see you as a doctor soon"
"Thanks" she replied in her gloomy voice, knowing that he will never ever let her take a step out of the mansion.
Moosa could notice the sudden sadness, the gloominess on her face and he knew Irtaza was making her go through hell so he was trying to divert her attention somewhere else and enjoy rather than dwelling.
"Fine Zahra, I will marry on the same day when your degree gets completed. So finish your degree asap as your husband is so excited to see me as a groom" he said, trying to conversate with her so she could breathe and feel the fresh air and can get her mind out of where it was stuck.
Irtaza chuckled, laughing on his friend.Β
"In that case, the chances of your marriage are very less"
"Why?"
"How can I allow her to go too university?" he declared and she gulped, feeling ashamed that he will now know how Irtaza is treating her.
"What Irtaza? Are you-" the ring of his phone cuts in and Irtaza picked it up, leaving the dining room, going in the lawn.
"Had he stopped you from further studies?"
And she slightly nodded, feeling embarrassed and ashamed at herself. A tear escaped her eye. All the lonliness and pain which she felt begin to ignite in her. Her throat got clogged and a sob escaped her through her throat.
Since last night, she wanted to express whatever she had felt to someone so it could alleviate the depression gathered in her heart.
She looked towards him with teary eyes, and she broke infront of him. Sobs after sobs begin to shake her whole body, she begin to cry.
"No, I'm not (hiccup) allowed to study, I'm not allowed to (hiccup) take any decision of my life, I'm not allowed (hiccup) to eat what I want, I'm not allowed (hiccup) to wear what I want, I'm not allowed to do(hiccup) anything without his perm..(hiccup)..ission, I can't do anything, I can't stand for myself,(hiccup) I'm scared of him, I'm afraid what (hiccup) he will do to me." she sobbed, releasing all the vented up frustration and depression.
"Zahra-" Moosa said when a maid entered and informed him that Irtaza is calling him in a hurry and he stood up leaving the room.
Her eyes were getting itchy due to crying and she begin to feel sleepy. She placed her head on the table and sleep overtook her, giving her a small escape through her present predicament.
Several minutes later, Irtaza got back into the dining room and find her sleeping. He had got a call from Amman, his third in command, that one of the warehouse was raided so he has sent Moosa to analyse the situation.
He moved towards her and sat next to her chair, her face was blotched. He noticed how innocent and childish she looks while sleeping.
He begin to caress his cheek, his eyes looking at her blotched face keenly. He tucked a stray strand behind her ear which gave him a clear view of her face.
He smiled lightly looking at her peaceful face.
"I'm being a fucking asshole with you senorita" he whispered.
