scourge (On-hold)

chapter seven

For Ramlat ignoring and suppressing whatever chemistry that is building between she and malik is the right thing to do, she doesn't want to give him any slight hope, she knows the consequences of whatever malik is trying to do, ever since the previous incident that day she do everything she can to avoid him, but been a persistent man like him malik won't take rejection the fact that everyone seems suspicious about something that isn't right going on between she and malik doesn't help,

Two days ago malik confronted her in the kitchen asking her why she's giving him the cold attitude the fact that he doesn't care about the presence of his two cousins makes ramlat want to question if he has some dignity left in him.

"Ramlat zamu wuche salim zai dawo sai ki bashi abincin mai gida ya kai ma apartment dinshi Dan jiya yache he's a bit under the weather." Aunty haulat say and ramlat node from the kitchen.

"Sai kun dawo,
Don't forget my message ummi." Ramlat say and aunty haulat leave with her two daughter's.

They where supposed to go do some shopping for mardiya and ummi's upcoming wedding but Alhaji forbid ramlat from going with them,
There are days ramlat want to hate alhaji for doing what he's doing but she knows somehow she deserve to be treated that way, she sashy around the kitchen and continue cooking the lunch as she humm along the music playing on her earphone.

Walking to the main building with a sigh, malik adjust the neck of the brown jubba he's wearing, he's been dieing waiting for his aunty and cousin to leave, he push the parlour door open and the familiar voice from the kitchen makes him release a satisfying breathe and he walk to the kitchen door, he slightly lean by the door with his legs cross and hand cross staring in amusement as she sing along whatever it is that is playing in her earphone.

Malik know his obsession with Ramlat is gradually escalating, he doesn't have a single control of himself if he's with her, it's obvious everyone is curious about whatever but he careless about that, he scan the pink jumpsuit she's wearing and take a deep heavy breathe before quietly walk inside the kitchen,

Ramlat sense the present behind her but she doesn't want to turn, she turn off the stove with a deep breathe as a hand touch her by the shoulder making her to instantly smack him with the turning spoon in her hand.

"Don't." Ramlat say and turn to face malik who just smile with a slight chuckle.

"Come on Ramlat,
I don't understand why you are doing this, it's obvious you like me,
You find me attractive it's written all over your face,
Do you honestly want to spend your life with this man?
Old enough to be your father?" Malik say and ramlat just stare at him.

"It's none of your business,
Whatever and however i want to do with my life you don't have a say in it,
I am happy with my husband, do me a favor and don't ruine my marriage because of your own selfish interest." Ramlat say and malik stare at her, he feel all his emotion drain.

"Don't speak to me that way,
I like you,
Do you know how many ladies will do everything to be in thesame position as you are now,
Let's get something straight,
Just because i have some mere feeling towards you doesn't give you the Audacity to speak to me that way,
I'm even doing you a favor by wanting to get you out of this thing you call marriage." Malik say pridefully and ramlat just stare at him in bewilderment.

The nerve and ego of malik sometimes makes her wonder if he's normal at all.

"Look malik,
With this attitude of yours i will rather be married to your uncle forever than to be with someone like you,
Obviously your obdurate behaviour and how highly you think of yourself won't impress me neither is it going to make me fall in love with you,
You are an idiot.......

" hey,
Don't call me names,
And for the record wether or not you like me,
I want you and i will have you,
You marrying my uncle won't stop me from claiming you if i want to,
I am better than him and whoever is it that you ever dated,
You will never find someone like me,
You are lucky that i just can't get rid of the stupid feeling i have towards you."malik say in all honesty,
There are few times where he question himself if Ramlat really deserve him, he isn't scared of his uncle he just don't know if she's worth all the trouble he's about hatching.

He know for sure he will have Ramlat if he want but for that to happen it's going to cost him a great sacrifice and go through a lot more of a family trouble.

"You know what malik,
Now i understand why you are still single,
You are every girl worst nightmare,
You are just too excessively impudent and prideful,
Your uncle is better than you because you don't...........

" Don't you ever compare me with anyone, I like you but
I have dignity from here to the moon and you are going to respect me, Regardless."malik say sternly and Ramlat snort staring at him with her hands fold to her chest still holding the turning spoon.

She heard a lot of stories and meet a lot of egocentric people but in her entire 21 years of life she has never meet someone as prideful as malik.

Malik take a deep breathe to calm himself as he shut his eyes with a sigh and massage his forehead.

"Ramlat i don't want us to fight,
You are making this difficult for me,
You want this pretty much more than i do, i am..........

" malik i am happy in my marriage,
I don't have a single whatever it is that you feel towards me, I don't feel same way,
Do me a favor and let me live my life peaceful in this house."Ramlat say and drop her hand with a sigh.

"I........

" Aunty ramlat!"salim voice yell and malik blow some air through his mouth as the teenage boy walk inside the kitchen.

"Ohhh ya malik i was searching for you,
I have my passport ready." Salim say and malik give him a look that makes the teenage boy keep shut.

"This conversation isn't over." Malik say and exit the kitchen as salim give his dad's wife a confuse look and she shrug.
