32. The Bitter Mouth
I'm standing at some distance from the front entrance of the mansion because Ashar is going to arrive here any minute. I got that piece of information from Melanie. She said he usually visit mansion at this time for about an hour. I'm going to catch him today and ask him to help me in my college work.
I have tried all my ways, used all my contacts to find a business owner who can be ready for a short interview with me, but so far I'm failed in my attempts. Big proprietors are not ready for meeting on such a short notice and since I'm running out of time, I have to put aside my pride and think on Melanie's suggestion. I hate to confront Ashar for his help and give him a chance to insult me.
The submission is now just a week away. My anxiety and pessimistic thoughts force me not to waste any more time and at least try my best although I know he'll never agree to help me.
I get a hold on myself when I see Ashar enters into the house. Instantly, I scu

Am I married? 33. The Senseless Argument
On my way, I pile up my hair on the top of my head and straighten my half-sleeved tee shirt. For some reason I feel conscious about my appearnce. Maybe I should have changed my clothes or did my hair.I knock on the door. After Ashar's permission I step inside. This man makes me nervous and gives me mixed feelings. Sometimes I despise him when he acts like a douchebag and sometimes I feel attracted to him when he doesn't say anything to me and shows me that he carries some kindness with him.But whatever it is, I've concluded and agreed to the fact that I can't act normal around him. I can't be in my usual self.He is sitting on his office chair, reading some book. I'm unable to see the name of it. The color of his crew neckline tee shirt resembles to his eyes. His muscular biceps are on display. The bare, rough skin makes my stomach flip.I become astonished at my own self. Even though I'm angry with him still I'm not missing a chance to check him out. M
Am I married? 34. The Sensual Dream
"One by one brief your assignment to the class and summarize what you have learned from the business owners." Teacher orders.Final submission of that problematic assignment is today. Thankfully I managed to complete the work on time so now I'm hopeful that I'll get a good grade. After all I went through a tough process, tolerated the same, humiliating allegations.Samara's doubts about me remained like a lump in my throat. My heart aches every time I think that there are so many people who are misunderstanding me. I'm bearing the fruit of my own action. It was wrong to trick Ashar and his family. I should have been strong enough to condemn Samara's scam that day instead of acting like a chicken and trusting her.I can't blame her entirely when I'm at fault too. Hobsons's fury for me is legitimate. Their accusations are obvious. I'm a stranger to them.I can't expect them to know me or my intentionsAll I want is to clear my name, get out of that cag
Am I married? 35. The Birthday Party
For the first time in months, I get a chance to go out of the mansion and breathe in fresh air. Thanks to Matt. He allowed me to go to shopping with Melanie. Today in the morning when I met him, I asked him that I should buy myself some clothes and he agreed, but with a condition that Aaron will come with me. So he is here somewhere around me, hidden from Melanie. Melanie brought me to a shopping mall where shops are not very expensive. I accepted her suggestion. She came with me because she wanted to buy a dress for the upcoming birthday party at the mansion. I came to buy daily-wear for myself. "Let's go to that shop." Melanie points her finger to some clothing store, "They have good and affordable designs." "Okay." I follow her to the store. I met with Matt today in the morning. He called me to give instructions related to Ashar's birthday party, arranged at the mansion. Around three hundred people are invited to be a part of his silver-jubilee bir
Am I married? 36. The Kiss
Few minutes later, Ashar leaves Samara's side and start gathering all the reporters in front of him. Some young guy comes to him and fix collar microphone on his blazer. Ashar smiles in front of the cameras and speaks, "Good evening, everyone. I thank each one of you to be a part of my small celebration. I proudly announce at this occasion that Hobsons enterprise is going to the next level of success. We are launching our whole new set of latest electronics coming month. They will be better in quality, less battery or energy consumptions and cost effective." Crowd cheers for him. Few of the guests congratulate and shake hands with him. He continues, "Moreover, I want to talk about the nasty rumors related to my married life. The rumors are utterly nonsense. I'm very happy with my wife and we still love each other." Yeah, right. A fake wife. I scowl. Samara comes forward and stands beside him. She holds his hand and smiles at the cameram
Am I married? 37. The Bloody Blush
My eyes widen and I start squirming to make him leave me. He looks daggers at me and grabs my shoulder from his free hand to stop me from moving, "Stay still." He mouths, looking anxious.I begin feeling suffocated because his hand on my mouth blocking the oxygen. Shaking my head several times, I try to give him a hint that I'm unable to breathe. He ignores my intimation, angling his neck to look outside the room as if he's looking for someone.I don't pay attention to our intimate position because of oxygen starvation.I use my strength, push him back a little and then move his hand away from my mouth, "Are you trying to suffocate me to death?" I breathe aloud, glowering at him.Finally I'm able to exhale out all the air, obstructed by him.He groans, "I told you to stay still. Someone is outside the room." My brows flew up in astonishment and it gets difficult to breathe once again.He gives me a nod after noticing my reaction and put his
Am I married? 38. The Guilt
I don't want to give him my birthday gift. He's not worth it. Now I think Samara and Ashar both suit each other. They both are same; plainly rude and not ready to think other people's problems. They think their issues are most important.Just what Ashar wants me to do now to prove him my innocence? To prove him that I don't have any hidden agenda against him or his family? I'm sick of this.Regardless of my anger, I still decide to give him the present I bought because I should thank him through it about my college assignment. It will be rude and mean and I'm not like him who doesn't acknowledge others' efforts for us.I go to his study half an hour later like he said and wait for him. He takes fifteen more minutes to come back. Environment in the room begins to tense as he enters. His eyes fall onto the gift bag I'm holding."What's that?" He walks further to me.Tentatively I move it up in front of him, "It's a birthday plus thank you gift for yo
Am I married? 39. A Call from Foster Home
A week later, I and Aaron both enter into the mansion after coming back from college when my phone starts ringing in his pocket. I stop walking and wait to get back my phone. He put it out and checked the caller ID before passing it to me, "Its Patricia." My forehead wrinkles in confusion at the mention of her name. She has only called me few times when she needs to tell me something important. I put my phone on my ear, "Hey, how-" "Sanaya, please come here." She sounds restless. "Why? Where are you?" Aaron frowns when he sees me getting worried. "I'm at the hospital." She sniffs, "It's about mother. Please come here quickly. I'm so scared." I'm on the verge of panic attack. My eyes widen in large circles, "What's with her?" "She's not okay. We brought her to hospital." "What? Where?" "Please come, Sanaya." She keeps repeating. "Okay, wait. I'll be there." I quickly cut the ca
Am I married? 40. Change of Behavior
Few hours pass, but situation remains same. Mother's condition doesn't change. She has lost lots of blood. Doctors somehow stopped the bleeding, but they have shifted her to ICU for close monitoring.I've sent Patricia home to take some rest because that girl was continuously weeping and I was scared she would pass out so I forced her to go home and come back later.Ryan also went out for some time, said he'll be back in a while. I'm only one right now at the hospital, staying near mother. I'm not willing to go back to mansion at least not tonight. I can't just sleep in peace when here mother is fighting for her life."Hey."I hear the familiar voice. I raise my head up and see Ashar is standing there.Astoundingly, I stand up on my feet and face him. I press my lips together."How's your mother?"I look away from his eyes, shaking my head slowly, "Not good.""I'm sorry." He says slowly.I look at him,
