C8 Chapter 8 The Confrontation.

Rahil's Perspective.

I covered my face with the help of my hand and frowned hard as the Sunrays hit my face. Finally, I gave up and opened my eyes to see a beautiful sight. Izna was sleeping next to me while her hand was tangled with mine. She was looking beautiful and serene. I gently removed some of her bangs from her face and placed them behind her ear. The previous night flashed in front of my eyes and I was again stuck in a whirlpool of indescribable emotions. At a moment, I felt myself burning in the urge to take revenge but the other moment I didn't even want to see her in pain. I untangled our hands and got up from the bed. I quickly went inside the washroom to take a quick bath. The cold water touched my body and calmed my senses. I remembered the incident that happened last night when she asked to turn off the lights. Though I never wanted her to turn it off but than I didn't even wanted to show her my weakness, so I told her to turn it off.

The whole room was filled with darkness which started to push me towards the alley of haunted memories and the dark past. Sweat beads started to appear on my for head while I changed my position for several times.This darkness! I just hate it.

I heard Izna saying something but I wasn't in the position of answering her because I started having a panick attack and was sweating badly when suddenly the darkness fade away and I saw a blurry image of her when I opened my eyes and mumbled something.

I punched the wall in anger when I remembered the way I became vulnerable in front of her.

I came out of the bathroom in just a pair of trousers and stood in front of the mirror, drying my hair with the help of a towel.

'You ain't living alone in this room. Don't you have any shame?' I heard her and turned to see her sitting on the bed covering her eyes with the help of her hand. I smirked slightly and went towards her.

'No problem dear wife. You haven't seen any stranger." I said playfully while she removed her hands from her eyes and quickly got up from the bed.

'You are such a shameless creature.' She said and rushed inside the bathroom while I quickly got dressed and went downstairs.

I came downstairs and saw Mannat setting the breakfast table while Ranbir was busy in a conversation with Grandma. I went towards Grandma and greeted her while she placed a kiss on my for head. We started talking when my eyes landed on her who came towards us dressed in some traditional clothes. She politely greeted everyone. Grandma smiled and give blessings to her by placing her hand on Izna's head. She then went towards Mannat and started helping her.

We all went towards the dinning table to have breakfast. Everyone was doing their breakfast quietly when Mannat broke the silence.

'So, how was your wedding night sister-in-law?' Mannat asked mischievously while Izna started coughing.

'Mannat.' I said and look towards her signalling her with my eyes to drop the topic.

'Come on Izna, speak up.' Mannat said smirking at me.

'Mannat stop teasing Izna.' Grandma said and left the dinning table leaving the four of us alone.

"Come on sister-in-law even granny has gone. Now tell me." Mannat again said while I look towards Izna who smiled at her.

'It was so 'romantic' Mannat.' Izna said looking towards me and than Mannat stressing on the word 'romantic'.

'Right Rahil?' Izna said slightly smirking and fluttering her eyelashes. You sassy kitten!

'Yes, absolutely right darling.' I said looking towards her smiling while Mannat coughed to gain our attention.

I entered inside the room and found her standing in front of the dressing table brushing her hair. She looked towards me from the mirror and than break the eye contact while I sat down on the bed.

'Wow...Impressive!' I exclaimed while she turned towards me giving a sharp look. Such looks won't scare me kitten!

'What's so impressive?' She asked staring into my deep brown eyes.

'You are such a talented actress. They way you pretended like a shy, newly wedded bride was amazing.' I said clapping, which felt like a taunt more than a praise.

'Mister you are no less! By the way thanks for the praise.' She exclaimed with a slight smirk, fluttering her eyelashes.

'Shut up!' I said as I felt a sudden rush of adrenaline in my blood.

'Why?' She questioned with a fierce look while I went towards her and held her arm in my death grip.

'Izna listen to me very carefully. Don't you ever dare to act smart in front of me.' I said digging my nails in her soft flesh while she started to protest.

'Mister! Let me tell you one thing loud and clear, that your plan has failed terribly.' She said daringly, pointing her forefinger at me.

'You want to take your revenge from Daddy by breaking me.Right?' She questioned while I look deeply in her eyes.

'Izna Mallick is just like a dead soul captured in a living body. You can't break a person who's already devoid of emotions.' She said staring deep in my eyes stressing on each and every word while I was startled for a moment. The savage look in her eyes, that challenging smile was enough to instigate me.

'Are you challenging me?' I questioned placing one of my hand on her waist and pulled her towards me with a swift.

'Yes. I am challenging you.' She said boldly while I smirked. Tch..tch...tch..Wrong move kitten! You are gonna regret this for sure!

'Challenge Accepted Wifey!' I said and smirked while she narrowed her eyes at me.

'Best of luck!' She said removing my hand from her waist and left.

I entered inside the room feeling hell exhausted, first because of the reception and than the boys. They really pissed me off. Losing my tie I found her sleeping peacefully on one corner of the bed. Who knows that there is a wild kitten hidden behind that innocent face!

I came outside the bathroom after changing and sat down on the other side of the bed.Staring at her face an evil idea hit my mind and I smirked. I pour some icy chilled water in a glass and threw it on her face. She woke up breathing heavily while her lips went pale. Shit!!! I shouldn't have behaved so harsh!

'Have you gone mad?" She said gasping for air.

'Go and make a cup of strong tea for me.' I said while it was difficult for me to control myself from laughing after looking at her expressions.

'What? You just woke me up at midnight by throwing this icy cold water on my face, for a cup of tea?' She questioned curtly, frowning hard.

'Well to be honest how can I let you sleep peacefully, when I myself can't sleep?' I said smirking while she flickered her eyelashes.

'You are such a jerk.' She said stressing on every word, anger visible on her face.

'Have some respect woman, you are talking to your husband and not your servant!' I said sternly staring in her eyes.

'Respect? Are you sure you deserve it?' She asked staring back in my eyes. This girl is getting on my nerves!
