You Will Always be Mine

Chapter # 26

Unedited.

Sitting beside her husband on the back seat of the car, Kanwal was trying to ignore the eerie feeling she was having from Ahad, who was silently staring at her with his usual calculating gaze. He didn't look displeased, still, Kanwal felt quite uncomfortable. He was being like this since the morning when she demanded to answer her about his work and after making a phone call, he announced that if she wished to know then she has to go with him to the capital city. Determined, Kanwal quickly wrapped up a few of her clothes and got ready without throwing any questions on Ahad. She didn't want to lose the chance God has given to her, she had already made her mind last night when Ahad told her, that he will tell everything if she asked.

Kanwal trapped Ahad into his own words, he was amazed at how easily he fell into it. But how could he refuse her, when she marched over to him with a serious look and ordered him to answer her. She was looking so adorable at the time that he wanted to hug her tight but stopped himself from doing so. He loves angry and annoyed-looking Kanwal rather than serious and obedient Kanwal. Her frowning face gave him the satisfaction that she was paying attention to him. To what he does or says, it's all in her notice, even if she didn't say anything.

What I am going to do???

He often asked himself, when he got tired of thinking about the ways of breaking the walls that they have between.

All the way from their house in Shareefabad till the base of the capital city, Ahad's full attention remained on Kanwal's every movement. He kept observing how far she can go in swallowing things silently without questioning and he admitted that she has strong stamina. Any other person would've questioned for sure about the sources of his income when Ahad led her to Black Eagles' new private plane. He was planning to throw her into a new situation by taking her to the hotel they own but due to some security reasons he postponed his plan and went to the main base. After landing he got a call from Moosa telling him to wait at the airport for their arrival.

'This guy...' He mumbled and slid inside the car beside Kanwal. Sometimes Ahad also gets irritated on Moosa's sudden change of plans and his mood swings.

"Your friend is coming." Ahad informed Kanwal.

On hearing about Mahnoor she glared at him. She hadn't able to forgive Ahad for not letting her go on Mahnoor's Nikkah just because his boss ordered him to. She wanted to be with her to give her a shoulder to cry on because it was the only thing she could do for her but he didn't let her and for some reason, Kanwal still believed that Ahad is somewhere responsible for this situation of Mahnoor.

"Don't give me that look. No matter how much Moosa listen to me I cannot disobey his orders, especially when it is about his wife."

"Don't remind me that my dear friend is married to HIM." She seethed and turned her face away.

Whether Mahnoor liked it or not, Kanwal has made her mind to support Moosa for the sake of her friend and her family. She didn't know about him at all but she believed in the rumours she heard about him being cruel and didn't want her friend to be a victim of it. Kanwal has a feeling that if somehow Mahnoor able to change her mind a bit, things will get much easier for her and she wanted to believe that it is true, otherwise she feared how things will work out.

"This is our place." Ahad said, stepping out from the elevator on the fourth floor. After leaving Mahnoor and Kanwal on the main base in the capital city Moosa and Ahad instantly leave for a meeting. While both of the ladies sat awkwardly in a huge drawing room until they came back.

Kanwal followed him looking at the cream colour marble floor beneath her feet.

It's beautiful... She thought, staring at the shining floor reflecting the ceiling lights. Suddenly, Ahad grabbed her hand and start walking into the living room. The decor of the house wasn't luxurious as their home but the cream colour theme was making it eye-catching. The soft aroma of the atmosphere instantly calms Kanwal's tense nerves, like she just woke up after a very good sleep.
