Married Without Love novel Chapter 17

||Mishal's POV||

I opened my eyes and sat up when the rays of sunshine kissed me without my permission. I looked at the clock and saw it was almost breakfast time which made me stand up from the bed quickly. I looked on the other side of the bed for Zayaan but it was empty.

"!بیا یو سردی شاور نه"

(Meaning: Not a cold shower again!)

I heard a sharp intake and those words which I didn't understand. I looked up quickly and saw Zayaan staring at me before looking away but I didn't look away from his hard chest.

When I realized that I was ogling at him, I quickly looked away as my cheeks heated up. We both looked at the door when we heard it unlocked and opened a little.

"I hope you both are decent. On second thought if not, I will not mind it. I am putting the keys of your wardrobe here because I don't want my innocent eyes to lose their innocence."

We heard amma bi's voice and the sound of keys fell on the floor.

"And I hope you both had a wild night!"

Amma bi said and giggled before we heard her giggling fade. Zayaan quickly walked to the door and opened it to pick the keys. He walked passed me without looking at me and went to the wardrobe door and unlocked it.

"Go and change your clothes!" He told me before disappearing in the wardrobe.

I quickly went into the washroom and got rid of the clothes which barely covered my body. I quickly took a warm shower then turned it into cold because my body was heated up with not so innocent thoughts.

After taking a cold shower, I quickly stepped out of shower glass cabin and wrapped myself with a towel because amma bi also took the robe from the washroom.

I opened the door of the closet and stepped inside, once I saw it was empty. I quickly changed my clothes and went out of the room.

When I stepped in the dining hall, there was silence, a pin drop silence. Amma bi was staring at Zayaan with a smirk while Zayaan was silently sitting, ignoring amma bi like she wasn't sitting here.

I sat beside him and we all started eating.

"So, how was your night? Roughly wild? Just wild? Or more than roughly wild?" Amma bi asked, innocently and batting her eyes at us.

I quickly looked down at my plate with pink cheeks and Zayaan shot her with his dead glare but it didn't stop amma bi to pass a comment.

"Oh! I get it! More than a roughly wild night!" Amma bi mumbled and I knew she must have her signature smirk on her face.

Zayaan quickly finished his breakfast and stood up to leave. Amma bi glared at him and crossed her arms over her chest.

"Aren't you missing something?" Amma bi asked him in a stern voice.

"No!" Zayaan answered her and gave her a look ‘don't do anything’ when her eyes shone with mischief.

"Don't give that look!" Amma bi told him, firmly then she looked at me with her one side of lips curled up in a smirk.

Oh no!

Before she said something, I quickly stood up with my plate and Zayaan's empty plate and took off towards the kitchen but luck wasn't on my side.

"Stop where you are, Mishal!" She said in her firm voice which held authority.

Busted!

I stopped where I was and slouched my shoulders. I turned to look back at her and saw her glaring at me but soon it was replaced with a mischievous glare.

She turned to Zayaan who was also trying to sneak but when amma bi looked in his direction, he also stopped.

"I think you forgot a kiss!" Amma bi told him or more like scolded him.

Zayaan sighed and went to amma bi and gave her a kiss on her head which made him earn a smack on his arm by amma bi. Amma bi gave him a pointed look and mumbled lines like,

‘He forgets his manners and I have to make him learn.’

"Not me, chimpanzee. Go and give your wife a goodbye kiss," She told him in anger which made me flushed.

Zayaan looked at me then at amma bi but when amma bi gave him a look ‘not mess with me’, he approached me and quickly pecked on my forehead which made amma bi scoffed.

"By kiss means a real kiss and that is on lips not a peck on forehead. If your dada was alive then he would have taught you by his cane," Amma bi scolded him again.
