Married to Mr. Mafia by Nusrat Jahan (books to read this summer txt) 📕

Why is his gaze bothering me so much ?? I wondered .

" Umm… Amira the breakfast is delicious " Rabiya anty compliment bring smiles on my face .

" Thank you "

" As much as I hate to say this " I look at Ibrahim direction who began to speak " this is good "

I shook my head at his attempt to compliment me in a platonic way .

Why did this kid just accept the fact that he started liking me?

Is it that hard for him? I wondered again .

After everyone finished and walked away to do their respective chores , I started to take plates to the kitchen .

I turned absently minded only to be scared by Khalid who was standing so close .

" Ahh ahh ahh ahh" I shrieked dropping plates only to close my eyes to prevent myself from a loud smash but nothing happened .

Slowly opening my eyes one by one , I saw Khalid catched it .

Wow , his reflex is fast .

" Thanks " I said dryly then took the plate from his hand only to turn away .

I seriously don't want to face him right now .

" What happened to you that day "

I gritted my teeth at his question , after humiliating , calling me a bad omen . He has the audacity to ask what happened to me that day .

" Nothing " I turned, crossing my arm with a sarcastic smile " just my so-called husband humiliating me to the extent that I had a panic attack " even though I tried to say in seekly sweet voice it still held the bitterness .

" You had a panic attack ?" His eyebrows creased .

" Why you do you have a bad past but then again you have a family , a mother , father everything that a human need for love then why "

I don't know if he intended too but his question stabs directly in my heart .

A mother

Father

Family

Love

Do I really have one ???

Swallowing the pain rising in my heart  I bite the corner of my cheek trying not to cry .

I can feel my vision got blurry " since you don't consider me as your wife "

I took a shaky breath " nothing related to me should concern you " with that I left wiping tears which flowed even though I tried my best to hold it back .

 

Khalid Mirza p.o.v

I didn't mean what I said that day , it was a fit of anger , like my mouth worked on my own . The way she panicked that day scared me to core .

I have done so many bad things to her but never once I saw hatred in her eyes but that day when she stared my way with that hateful gaze , I felt hurt like I feel whenever I meet ammi , when she ignores my existence .

Her words cut deep inside my chest .

A bad husband will make you a bad wife .

Her words rang inside my head again and again .

I didn't sleep the whole night , the truth was I never sleep at night it's either I am drunk or…

I was crossing her room when I heard her reciting the Quran in a melodious voice . It felt like my feet stopped me from going ahead .

After so many years I heard the Quran again… I heard Allah s.w.t words .

Those words are always used to make me feel something .

I remember when my sister used to recite the Quran , I used to sit behind leaning on the wall listening to it . It used to give peace in my heart.

But I ruined everything , I ruined my family ….. and I can never undo it .

I quietly listen to her recitation , those words giving peace in my heart … After she finished, I silently went back to my room .

All the happy flashes I spend with my sister revive inside my mind .
 

KHALID! Khalid ! " My fifteen year old twin sister shouted at the top of her lungs .

'' what happened '' fifteen year old me burst open in her room . Daisy standing on her bed looking scared.

I used to call her Daisy with love even though her name was Sayra

'' DUMMY L- LOOK '' Daisy pointed something on the floor , my eyes followed her direction .

My eyes got bigger while a girl screamed erupted from my throat '' ahhhhhhh'' I quickly jumped on the bed trying to hide behind her .

'' th- that a lizard '' I tried to push her forward .

'' That's why I called you my so-called big one minute older than me brother '' she rolled her eyes sarcastically .

'' Go and drive it away '' My sacred heart pushed her .

She push instead '' you are a guy , you drive it away ''

'' Who is the guy? '' I pretended to flip my hair like a girl .

She stared at me in disbelief '' I can never depend on you for my protection ''

'' scaredy cat ''

'' don't call me that '' I said annoyed .

'' scaredy cat , scaredy cat , scaredy cat '' she yelled in my face .

'' You are the scaredest guy I have ever seen, loser '' she jumped off the bed leaving me alone with the lizard .

''Daisy at least drove it away '' I shouted, fearing to get down .

I sat on the rocking chair laughing at our memories...

Then slowly tears started coming down one by one .......


 

AMIRA SULTAN p.o.v

Holding the plate of breakfast , I knock on her door .

She swung the door open with her usual grumpy face .

" Assalamualaikum " I greeted Myra showing breakfast plate .

She frown observing " are you going to throw that on my face "

I gasp " Astagfirullah , why would I do that "

" Because it will make sense " she rolled her eyes walking back inside .

" What do you mean? " I put the breakfast on her bed , and she roamed the room looking frustrated .

" What do I mean ?  " she questioned , there was a hint of anger in her voice .

" I mean is " she started coming closer" why the hell you are behaving so nice to me when I am nothing but horrible to you " she was standing inch away from my feet , I can feel the anger radiating from her.
