Possession by Laila Ali (ink ebook reader TXT) 📖

"Kia Irtaza bhai apko daratey hein?" She asked, all surprised.

(Does Irtaza bhai scare you?)

"Hn aur wo b bohat zyada." She replied, smiling at her childish behavior.

(Yes and that too, too much)

"Apko unn sei darr lagta hai?" She asked again with her rounded lips, so astonished to hear that.

(Are you scared of him?)

"Bohat zyada"

(Too much)

Zahra took all the situation as a joke but on the other hand, Alizey was astonished that someone even could be afraid of her kindest and sweetest Irtaza Bhai.

"Mein Abhi aaye," With that being said Alizey left the room and came back after five minutes holding a cell phone in her tiny hands, scolding someone on the other side.

(I will be back)

"Irtaza Bhai," Alizey called out on the phone making Zahra vigilant more than ever, "Now you will not be scaring Zahra baji anymore. Apko pata hai unhey tw saans bhi nahi aata jab AAP aas paas hotay hain." Alizey said with a deep frown marred on her cute chubby face.

(Do you know she can't even breathe when you're around)

Zahra's mouth hung open with surprise. She gawked at the Alizey with her surprised-filled eyes. Zahra was taking her as a joke but she called Irtaza and repeated her every single word to him!

"Hn g. Yeh unho ney hi me Kaha hai" She answered on the phone.

(Yes. She had told me this)

"Ok fine. Sorry accepted. But now you have to apologize to Zahra baji as well." Alizey scolded and after getting his reply he handed over the phone to Zahra who was looking at her with mouth agape and eyes wide open.

"Who is it?" She whisper yelled to Alizey.

"It's Irtaza Bhai Zahra baji. I've said every single thing to him you told about him and asked him to apologize to you. Now you don't need to worry he will not scare you anymore and you know he was laughing a lot when I told him that you called her a beast."She exclaimed loudly making Zahra want to slap herself for the moment she called him a beast in front of Alizey. She didn't expect Alizey to call him directly and repeat her every dialogue to him. She thought everyone is scared of Irtaza including Alizey so calling him names in front of anyone won't affect them much.

"Now take the phone Zahra baji he wants to apologize to you," Alizey told.

"No Alizey didn't I tell you that I am scared of him. I do not want to talk to him. Please. Ask him that I am sleeping pleaseeee." She whisper yelled to Alizey so he couldn't hear anything from the other side of the phone but unaware to both of them he was hearing everything which made him dryly chuckle.

Alizey rounded her lips in an O, understanding what she was saying, and attached the phone to her ears.

"Irtaza Bhai, Zahra baji is saying that she is sleeping and she is scared of you so she can't talk to you yet." She said innocently literally making Zahra want to hit her head on a wall. She shouldn't have said anything to Alizey in the first place.

"Ok Bhai," She said and put the phone on the speaker, leaving the room whilst closing the door behind.

"Zahra take the phone now." His deep baritone resonated in the room which made her flinch the very next second. Her heartbeat increased and her shivering thermogenesis clicked in making her slightly shiver. Her body has developed this response to his voice.

She immediately picked up the phone, turned the speaker off, and placed it on her ear.

"Hello. Assalam Alaikum." She greeted in her meek voice.

"Wslam." He replied.

"Why were you not taking the phone?" He asked making her hold the phone tightly.

"Uhh..... I was..as sleeping." She stuttered, lying.

"Ohh. I see." He mused.

She took a sigh of relief thinking he bought her stupid lie.

"So you got awake for a few seconds just to tell Alizey that am a beast. Right?" His voice was playful.

"No I did...not call you..u th..at." she lied, her voice getting small.

"I despise liars Zahra. Don't lie to me ever in any situation." His voice dropped octaves down showing the seriousness behind his words, making her heart beat a mile a minute.

"It won't happen again. I am sorry." She immediately answered.

"Hmm good. What were you doing?"

"Teaching Alizey."

"And everyone else?"

"They all are busy in wedd...ing prep...erations" Her throat clogged on the thought that she was talking about her wedding. Her forced wedding.

She didn't want this marriage at any cost but everyone around her was forcing her into this relationship. She was scared to death of Irtaza so how could she live her whole life with him moreover, she has Daniyal in her heart and she did not want anyone other than Daniyal in her life.

"Aren't the arrangements finished yet?"

"Almost there but only the attire of the bride and groom for baraat has to be selected."

"Ok. Ask Dadi that when I'll come back we both will personally go and select our attire for baraat." He replied and was about to hang up the call when a crazy thought hit Zahra's mind.

"Can I ask you a question?" She breathlessly said.

"What is it?"

She gathered every ounce of courage left inside her and blurted out the next words.

"I don't want this marriage,"
