P.s. the room above is Zayaans room.

Edited.

Inaya's POV:
I hugged ammi, abbu, kanwal, dania and everyone else good bye. By now my face was a mess as I was downright sobbing. It was unfair. How your parents grew you up all your life, provided for you, fulfilled your every wish just for the day when they could hand you over to someone else.

But I guess that was life. It was how it worked wether you wanted it or not, wether it was fair or not. After bidding everyone goodbye, we finally settled into the car. Zayaan opened the passenger seat door for me and helped me get in then himself got inside the driver's seat.

I kept on waving until I couldn't see them anymore. A tear travelled down my cheek as I placed my head against the window. We drove for a while when I saw Zayaan forwarding a tissue to me. I slowly took it from his hands after muttering a thanks and fixed my face.

I felt someone patting my cheek lightly. "Ammi, thori der aur."(mom, sometime more) I muttered as I went back to sleep. I heard a deep chuckle making me frown. That didn't sound like my mother.

I opened my eyes and gasped, moving back. I didnt even realize when I had fallen asleep. My gaze flickered to the surroundings and I realized that we had reached. Zayaan's face was right infront of mine and amusement danced in his eyes. Once I was awake, he moved back and gave me space. "We're here." He spoke and i nodded. Slowly collecting my dress, i got out. But being the clumsy person I am, my heel got stuck in my dress and I tripped. Before I could hit the floor, two arms had grabbed me, stabilising me. "Careful." He whispered near ny ear.

I quickly moved back after muttering a thanks. The door of the house opened and his sisters came outside followed by his parents. "You guys finally came! We thought you wuldnt show up until the next morning." Mehak teased as she took over one side. Zayaan just rolled his eyes at her comment and stepped aside to let them help me.

Mehak and Anum helped me with my dress and we walked towards their house. "We are so happy to have you here bhabi!" Anum exclaimed and I gave her a small smile. "Assalamualikum." I greeted his parents. His father patted my head, smiling, while his mother engulfed me in a hug. "Welcome to our family." She greeted me.

His sisters then helped me to his room where I sat down at the bed. After that they left me and I took my time to study his room. His room was simple yet it had an elegance about it just like him. Honestly, it was very different than I had expected. For some reason, i had imagined it to be more towards the dark colours but it was the exact opposite.

I would be lying if i said that it didn't have a cozy feeling to it.

I heard the door opening and that was when the thought finally settled. It was my wedding night. And that was when my panic mode turned around as I looked around for something or atleast a way to escape.

Maybe it was the panic, frustration, sleepiness or I was simply tired, because the next thing I did was the unthinkable. I picked up the vase on the side table and stood up with it, in my hand.

The look on his face upon seeing me was shock which slowly turned into an emotionless mask as he stared at me."What are you doing?" He stated in a calm voice while I probably looked like a crazy ninja with a vase above my head ready to throw it at anyone.

"Don't come any closer to me or I'll hit you with this." I warned and looked at the vase in my hands. "Are you kidding me? Put that down Inaya." He sighed, frustrated while I just shook my head. "No."

"I'm not going to-" he sighed closing his eyes tightly before opening them and speaking in a calmer voice. "I'm not going to touch you, if that's what you think." He explained as he leaned against the wall. I hesitantly lowered the vase as I stared at him in confusion. "Y-youre not?" I confirmed and he nodded his head as he walked towards me.

He took the vase from my hands and placed it carefully on the side table behind me. I could feel the guilt bubbling inside me as I hung my head in shame. I could feel him staring at me with amusement and I could also feel his body heat knowing he was too close for comfort. "I'll go change." I whispered and without embarrassing myself further, ran into the bathroom and locked it.

I bumped my head lightly against the door as I cursed myself. Stupid Inaya. What would he be thinking about me? I probably looked like a crazy person holding that vase in my hands. I stared wide eyed at my disheveled state. After washing my face and freshening up, I realized that I hadn't brought any clothes. I slowly opened the door and peeked out. He was lying on the bed, texting someone on his phone. He had changed into some sweat pants and a shirt.

I walked towards my suitcase, all the while trying not to look at him. I could feel his gaze all the way walking towards my suitcase. Why did he have to stare so much? Was he a pervert or something. Quickly unzipping my bag, i grabbed the first thing that came in my hand which was apparently a flimsy Lingerie. I gasped and quickly dug it inside before he could see it, my face heating up.

I'll deal with Dania and Kanwal later. I pulled out my pyjamas from the bottom of the bag and hurried back into the bathroom. So much for not embarrassing myself. Ok Inaya. You have to be strong and not make a fool out of yourself anymore. You are going to behave like a mature girl and talk with him confidently. You are not going to cry over someone who left you. I pep talked myself in the mirror. After managing a confident exterior, I changed into my pyjamas and finally stepped out of the bathroom.

His eyes turned towards me as he stared at my hair then at my pyjamas. "Where will you sleep?" I asked. He frowned and looked at me with confusion. "I mean, we both can't sleep on the bed." I clarified looking at him with a confident look.

"And why not?" He raised his brow as he turned his full attention towards me. "Because I don't want to sleep on the same bed as you." I crossed my arms on my chest. "Well then, you can sleep on the couch if you have so much of a problem." He stated in a cold voice. I huffed as I picked up my pillow and placed it on the couch before finally laying down on it.

I was no more mood to argue and besides I was way too tired for this. Without any further thoughts I drifted into a dreamless sleep.

Zayaan's POV:
I stared at her as she slept peacefully. She was so stubborn. A frown marred her features and her lips were pulled in a pout. A small smile took over my features as I stared at her innocent face. As much as I wanted her to sleep on the bed, I knew I couldn't force her or she would hate me for it and probably make up a crazy story about me trying to take advantage of her. I chuckled at that.

How could someone leave her like that? The thought of Ahsan ditching her angered me yet at the same time it pleased me. I felt guilty for getting pleasure out of this but I couldn't help it. I had wanted her for as long as I can remember. I still remember the day, I saw her dressed in a navy blue dress at her cousin's wedding. She had no idea I was watching her, the whole time as she remained busy in laughing and teasing her cousin.

It was at that point when my heart felt something so deep for the first time. But when the time came, she was already committed to someone else. I tried, I tried so hard to be happy for her but deep down in my twisted heart, I had wished for her to be mine. And I wondered if I was responsible for her heart break?
......
