Arya's P.O.V.
"Arya, its fucking 2 pm and you are still not back," Alim was shouting at me through the call.
"I'll be back when I'll be done. Stop calling me after every two seconds," I replied back with equal aggressiveness and turned the phone off.
Logan and I were looking for dresses to wear one for the party. I was feeling strange inside. I couldn't tell if Alim was sincere to me or not. He never told me properly why he married me. I pushed those thoughts aside and bought my dress and Mason's gift.
Logan placed the bags on the couch and was heading out when Alim appeared.
"I told you to take her back at 1 o'clock exactly." He was looking at him angrily. Somehow he had managed to make his eyes more black.
"It's not his fault," I spoke before Logan could reply. Alim glared at me before directing his gaze to Logan again.
"You can go, Logan," I told him but he didn't oblige. He looked up at Alim and then again at
A lover asked his beloved, Do you love yourself more than you love me?The beloved replied, I have died to myself and I live for you.I've disappeared from myself and my attributes. I'm present only for you.I have forgotten all my learning, But from knowing you I have become a scholar. I have lost all my strength But from your power I am able.If I love myself I love you. If I love you I love myself._Rumi
Arya's P.O.V.After Alim's confession, the lunch had been silent. It was a peaceful silence settled in between us. The weather outside was cloudy. It was not raining but a light wind was blowing. The couples were holding hands and I envied them. Of course Alim held my hand most of the time but I was not sure if he would acknowledge me in front of all those people. He was like a celebrity for all. And I was a simple girl with weird wishes. Thinking about wishes, reminded me I had to force Tom for something I had been begging for so long. I wanted to go on a long bike ride but he was not allowing. I had freedom of all type almost all my life. My parents were very lenient but the matter of marriage held great importance to them, that was why I was not sure what would be their reaction. And it didn't help that whenever I asked Alim why he had married me. He only replied, 'you are mine' or 'i felt like you belong to me.' I was sure about one thing and th
You love him Don't you Him and his long pale fingers Running down your spine~~~~Arya's P.O.V. I walked all the way back to the apartment thinking about the problem Tom was facing. I wanted to help him but he was not letting me to and that saddened me. He had been a great support for me ever since and me- well I was never that useful to any person.It had turned my phone off when Alim had called me. I wanted to go to the apartment and see Zara but I knew better than that."Why were you not picking up my call?" Alim said glaring at me.I just shrugged which earned me an animalistic growl from him."You are back early?" I asked going around him and taking off the jacket."You came sooner than my expectation," he stated.
Arya's P.O.V."I don't like you."I looked at Alim from under my lashes; a light tremble was evident in my voice."It is not a big deal for you love me."His posture and voice was poised."Why are you like this?"I asked exasperated now."I'm like what?"He looked at me with hooded eyes."Enigma."That was the word that occurred to me for describing him.He shut the laptop down and leaned a little on the table by his elbows."Dangerous."I added after a while."Do you fear me?"Hearing him speak threateningly and menacingly made Sparks erupt in my body.I can never describe what he does to me.I shook my head."Do you fear me?"He repeated in the same low and hushed voice."No.""What is this?"I was scrolling Instagram while laying on the couch when Alim put something in front of me on the table."Oh God, these are so beautiful,"
Arya's P.O.V."You are up."I coughed hard and tried to raise my body up on my elbows. Logan's panicked face came in my view and Zara was standing at a side with worry etched on her face."Are you feeling alright?" Zara came to my side as soon as she saw me struggling."Yes." I coughed again and took oxygen into my lungs. "I'm fine.""Lay down, Arya," Zara said in a pleading tone."Where is Alim?" I sat up straight and touched my forehead to know I had a bandage there."He is busy with something," Logan told hesitantly."Where is my phone?"Zara handed me my phone and I called Alim. On the fifth ring he picked up and a quick and indignant hello came through the speaker."Where are you?""Arya," his voice softened, "are you feeling fine?" He asked in a small voice."I'm fine but where are you?""I'm coming. Don't worry?""Please come soon," my voice raised to an edge becau
Arya's P.O.V.It was the time to go back when auntie Zubia began to scold Alim at his apparent carelessness."Do not worry, auntie. Something urgent must have come up that was why he cannot not make it back. You don't worry," I tried to assure her of his safety and also sided with him because she looked ready to scold him dangerously as soon as she gets to see him.But on the inside I was freaked out. I was feeling like something bad was about to happen. I was fearing. almost everyone had left except us. Alim can not be such careless.Ya Allah please keep him safe and away from harm."Arya." I saw Logan waving at me from a distance."Hey, where were you throughout the whole ceremony?" I glared at him but at last gave way to smile."Um..." He scratched the back of his neck. "I'm here to take you back," he told."Oh okay," I said making an O shape."Auntie Zubia, I got a ride. You can go, I'll
Please tell me I'm not as forgettable as your silence is making me feel.- anonymous°°°°Arya's P.O.V. The chilling air of Islamabad hit up my faintly quavering self full force. The nostalgic scent of my Homeland caused a swift rush of vehemence. After a tiring flight of 12 hours I had landed at my ultimate destination.I pulled myself out the parking and grabbed a cab back to home. I could never wipe the haunting sight off my mind, not for a second. It had evaded my dreams too.I entered the wooden double doors and trudged inside to the mahogany door after ascending two stair steps.The knock at the door and me eyeing everything around brought a set fresh of memories to my mind and tears to my eyes. I brutishly rubbed my
Arya's P.O.V.Two weeks had passed since I had returned from there- away from them. I felt forlorn for no one had attempted to talk to me or to find where I had gone all of a sudden. Not Alim, but Zara and Tom had the contact number of my house.I was perplexed by what I wanted. One moment I would be praying to be always far away from them and sometimes even if they're all I would wish for being with Alim."Arya, come on. Get up. It is 2 o'clock right now," I heard Mom's voice.Mom put the blinds aside and the bright dazzling sunlight entered the room to succeed to the pitch blackness."What have you done to yourself Arya," Mom's voice laced with concern entered my eardrums. I chose not to reply because it was what everyone had been saying to me for quite a few days now."Get up and freshen up yourself. I'm waiting down for you." Mom ordered and left the room.I half-heartedly rose up and proceeded to do what she
