The CEO's Contracted Wife 12
— H O O R —°°°"A contract. Our marriage contract. And before getting married, I want you to read every condition and term so that later you don't have to ask any questions." I was surprised to hear this. This is literally surprising. Contract marriage? What will he get by turning the marriage into an agreement? And how did this contract suddenly come in the middle? Till that night there was only a marriage proposal with which Zahir had come to me, then why all of a sudden this contact?"Contract? Suddenly? Why?" There were only a few words that I could use. I was so surprised that I had even forgotten how to use the words. "Indeed, Hoor, this marriage was arranged from the very beginning with a compromise. I came to you only with this contract—," "But you didn't tell me anything about the contract that night." I did not give him time to complete himself till it was over and put my question first. "I would have told you about the contract when you would have agreed to the marriag

— H O O R — °°°By 6 o’clock in the morning, Parul had also been released. When she regained consciousness, she cried a lot. She repeatedly apologized to me that she should not have hidden anything from me. But now there was nothing to be gained by remembering the past. Our today was much better. Parul’s health was better now. And what else I needed? Doctors prescribed some medicines for Parul. By giving medicines from time to time, Parul’s condition could have improved completely. And Zahir also spent all this. When we got ready to leave the house in the morning, Zahir took us home too. He did not talk on the way but Parul wondered why Zahir was with us. She asked me whether Zahir gave the money for her treatment, then I told her that Zahir paid the full amount for her treatment. She wondered why I took Zahir’s help but the very next moment she understood everything. She realized that I was definitely ready for marriage. I could not help but sigh. Her mind is sharp enough to pu

— Z A H I R —Another month had passed and today the results of Hoor’s exams were about to come. I knew this and I was also happy that today she will get the result, but my family was happier than me. Perhaps even more curious than Hoor would be today! Because when I got ready and went downstairs for breakfast, my family started demanding from me that I should also celebrate the announcement of the result along with Hoor. What have they understood about me? A crazy? “What type of idea is that? It’s her result, so she should celebrate, not me.” I rolled my eyes, taking the toast and stuffing it into my mouth. “What? She’s your soon-to-be wife, Zahir. Her happiness is your happiness.” Dad gained my attention and I eventually stopped chewing. What did he just say? “Wow, bro! What a line! I loved it.” I looked at my uncle who praised my dad. Dad smirked and bowed his head slightly, uttering, “Thank you, thank you.” I sighed. Once again drama. I continued eating. “Yes, Zahir, Dad is

— H O O R — “Wow Hoor, your results are very good. Your marks are above 90 in every subject!” I heard Parul’s voice. I was braiding my hair at that time and after hearing her words, I rushed to her in a hurry. “Did you check it?” I ask her. It was not that I did not believe in myself, but I did not want to put anything in a misunderstanding. “Of course! You’re wonderful!” She chirped. I glanced at the screen, finding her right. “Phew,” I sighed. Closing my eyes, I folded my hands to thank God. Whatever it is, it is what He wants because It is His Will. And my hard work also pays off only when God does His justice. That is why I thank Him for everything. It is a different matter that in my displeasure, I never remember Him because the sadness and silence inside me is so much that I cannot remember Him at that time. It is such a bad thing, which I try my best to improve. I remember Him in happiness but I want to call Him in sorrow, too. “How’s it going, my lovely daughter?” Dad’s

— H O O R — “Do you truly want this?” I asked him as soon as Parul left. We were all alone, under the bright blue sky, birds chirping around. He turned to look at me before answering, “My family wants me to take care of your happiness from now on. They want me to join you in your happiness.” Here I end this conversation as I do not ask him anything further. My happiness is not cared for by my husband. Instead, my soon-to-be in-laws are very much concerned about my happiness. There is both joy and displeasure in it. Glad that my future in-laws care about my happiness and displeasure so much that my husband needs permission from his family to join my happiness. This great man does not want to do anything by himself. “Come.” He opens the door of his car. I look inside before and then at his face. I do that awkwardly and give me a -what?- type of look. “What? Didn’t you open the door for yourself?” I ask him and here I realize how stupid I sounded. “You think I’ll open the passenge

— Z A H I R —“By the way, do you want me to turn the AC off?” She looked at me as her lips parted. She could clearly see I mocked her. I asked this question deliberately because I know this girl has a problem with AC cars. On that day, she also expressed her concern about the increasing global warming caused by my car like she was in some conference hall. And… My car is the ‘only’ reason behind the increasing global warming, is it? She stated it like that. Like I was some wanted criminal. But I do not want to cause any trouble for Hoor. Or say that I do not want to leave any chance to annoy this girl. This is a golden opportunity for me. Like she enjoys annoying me, I, too, am going to find pleasure in it. “This is your car, do whatever you want.” She rolled her eyes, folding her arms on her chest and looking outside through the window. “Okay.” I turned the AC off for an unknown reason and started driving. Hoor kept peeping outside the window and then no conversation happened be
The CEO's Contracted Wife 18
— H O O R — “So now you tell me what happened between you two. Why did you come back within two hours? You didn’t have to worry about work. If you wanted you could stay till the evening. And, he isn’t a stranger but your future husband, Hoor!” Once again Parul put a queue of questions in front of me without a single pause. I am surprised that on the one hand, I left that strange meeting and went to work —no, actually I did not want to put the burden on her— and this girl doesn't like my coming. Instead of being grateful, she is questioning me. But I think it is normal for her to ask so many questions at once because when I came back, I did not answer any of her questions at that time and straight away started working. I silently asked her to work and let me work also. And perhaps by asking all these questions, now she wants to satisfy herself. “Hoor! What are you thinking? Oh my god, wait! Are you still thinking about the date?! Hell! Now I’m more excited to know…” She jumped on
The CEO's Contracted Wife 19
— Z A H I R —When I came downstairs to eat after taking a bath, I saw that as soon as I entered the dining hall, everyone’s eyes gathered on me as if I was an alien. But when I looked intently into everyone’s eyes, I could see a lot of hope and curiosity. I can probably understand this curiosity. But saying nothing, I sat down on my chair. Ryan was sitting next to me, looking at me as if I had a treasure hidden inside me. I passed him a forced smile before turning my plate and filling it with food. Once it was done, I held the spoon and filled it with rice before putting it in my mouth. I started chewing silently when I heard Rayma Bhabhi’s voice as she asked me, “How was your date, Zahir?” But instead of answering her, I choked on my food and hurriedly held the glass of water. “Are you alright?” All of them asked me once I put the glass back on the table. I looked at them and nodded, “Yeah.” Hell, when do you let me sit peacefully? I wanted to shout but I suppressed the urge.
