Married Without Love novel Chapter 10

||Mishal's POV||

I was pulled back to reality when the car was stopped. I noticed we reached his parents house. We both got out of the car and went inside together.

There was laughing coming from the living hall of many people. When we reached there, I noticed there were more people. Innaya, Asher, Dr. Izzah and few more unfamiliar people other than mom and dad.

Mom smiled looking at me and came to us. She greeted us and pulled me in a hug.

"Why are you looking weak? Is he not taking care of you?" She asked me, pulling me with her.

"No, he takes care of me!" I said taking Zayaan's side.

"If you say so," She said and turned to the small crowd once we reached there and introduced us, "Everyone, this is my Zayaan's beautiful wife, Mishal. Mishal, I guess you already met Innaya, Asher and Izzah. Now meet Daniel. He is Izzah's husband. He is Jahanzaib, Izzah's and Innaya's father. He is Jafri, Daniel's father."

I greeted them all and Innaya came towards me and gave me a hug. Zayaan sat beside the gents while Innaya and Izzah suggested we should sit outside for ladies gossip.

"If I sat there more than 5 seconds then God knows what I would have done to that idiot," Innaya mumbled in frustration.

"He is not that bad," Izzah said, sitting on the chair, in the lawn.

We all sat on the chair and Innaya glared at Izzah. Izzah raised her hands up in surrender and turned to me.

"I know we just saw each other last week but how are you doing now?" She asked me.

"Just fine!" I said with a smile.

"Mind if I join you kids?" Mom asked with a servant behind her.

"I thought you are a kid in us," Innaya said with a sly smile.

"That I still am," She said with a wink and sat beside me on the chair.

The servant put the bowls of ice cream in front of us. I looked at ice cream and thought who ate ice cream in cold weather.

"What are you thinking, dear?" Mom asked in concern.

"Ice cream in cold weather. I mean who eats ice cream in a cold season?" I voiced my thought and looked at her when she gasped.

"Girls in this condition love eating ice cream and chocolate. Haven't you started giving my son a hard time?" She asked in shock.

I shook my head and looked at the bowl when she handed it to me.
