The ring
1061 Words
"We have reached. Now, get down from the car."I said.
But she didn't move for a bit.
Uncertainty was written all over her face.
She was in a dilemma. Whether she should come with me or not.
But I was enjoying her situation very much. It was amusing to see her.
Her confused eyes, her quivering lips, and an unknown fear for me.
Everything amazed me.
"You know what, you are wasting both of our time. Now, get down." I said in my authoritative tone.
She turned to me.
"Look, I just want to go home. Please let me go."She said softly.
This time her tone wasn't harsh like before.
But I was getting irritated. She wasn't obeying me.
"Feisty like always, "I uttered.
I got down of the car and then went to her side.
I opened the door and grabbed her arm. I dragged her to the shopping mall.
We stopped near a ring store.
Finally, I left her arm only to hold her hand. Holding her hand we stepped inside.
She was incessantly trying to remove her hand but I didn't leave her hand.
I looked at her. She was looking around the shop. Maybe she was trying to figure out why I brought her here.
Then I looked at the shop keeper and ordered him to show us some ring.
"Why have you brought me here? You should come here with Zayna, not me. So, I would like to suggest you that call her and let me go." she squealed and turned to go.
"Have I asked for your suggestion? Don't use your brain too much."
I pressed her hand hardly making her flinch in pain.
She looked at me in horror.
"Choose a ring."
Now, She was still looking at me in disbelief.
"Why?"
"Because I said so."
"I won't."
"I am glad you didn't choose. Then you will wear the ring of my choice."I smirked.
"I will not ." she refused.
"You will, love."
"You are berserk ." She said being irritated.
I chuckled at her.
I started to look for the perfect ring and I found one.
I know that she would never wear my ring but I knew what to do.
I asked him to bring the ring.
"Look, I am not going to take it. You are just wasting your time and money. You should give this to Zayna."She prodded.
"For God's sake shut your f#ing mouth," I said coldly as she was getting on my nerves.
The shopkeeper arrived with the ring. I took it from him.
"Show me your finger, "I ordered her.
She didn't listen to me. Rather, she clenchfisted her hand.
"Open your hand, Hena, "I demanded. My tone becomes colder than before.
"Ayaan, you can't put a ring in my finger. You are going to marry my cousin. So, why are you h
troubling me like this?" she blurted in frustration but only for me to hair.
"Hena, Don't test my patience. I don't like those people who don't listen to me."My voice was harsh and cold.
It was a treat for her.
"Hena, I am asking you for the last time to open your hand. If you don't obey me, I don't mind kissing you in front of everybody."I gave her my signature smirk.
"You're not going to do anything like this."
"Who said, I won't?
I can go to any extent to get what I want and I mean it." I threatened her.
"Will you open your hand or ...we should give these people a chance to see how much we love each other?"
Her eyes became teary.
"You are blackmailing me," she whispered in a shivering voice.
"Yes my love, I am, "I said bluntly without being ashamed.
She opened her hands. Teardrops streamed to her cheeks.
With my thumb, I wiped them.
"Don't cry, love. Now, let me do the honor."
I took the ring and put it on her finger.
The ring was smaller than his actual size. I purposedly ordered it. I know, she will remove it in my absence.
And I am not going to let her do that.
The ring wasn't entering smoothly. I pushed it harder.
"Uhh.."I heard her. She gasped in pain. Her finger had turned into red.
After trying hard the ring fitted in her finger beautifully.
I felt contented.
I wanted to make her always remember that she belongs to me. This ring will always be made her remember me.
It's a symbol that she has stuck with me forever.
"Hena, look at this ring. By putting it in your hand I have formed a relationship with you. You can't escape from me."I said.
"No! Stop uttering nonsense Mr.Ayaan Qureshi. By putting a ring in my finger you can't form any relation with me." she screamed while crying and ran towards the exit.
I hurriedly paid for the ring and ran behind her.
She was trying to take her purse from the car which I had left in there intentionally so that she couldn't be left.
Light sobbings were coming from her mouth.
"What do you think you are doing?"I asked her.
"Trying to escape from a psychopath." she sneered.
I grabbed her hand and made her sit in the car.
"Just keep quiet. I am going to drive you home."
The whole drive was silent.
Neither of us said anything.
I kept stealing glances of her.
She was sad. Her tears had stopped but eyes were still watery.
As we reached her home, she quickly got down. I also stepped out with her.
When she was about to go I hold her hand and turned her to me, "Look at me. Why don't you understand that I love you?"
She laughed sarcastically.
"You love me???
Don't you have any shame?
How many times should I have to make you remember that you are getting married to my sister?"
I slammed my hand against the car in frustration.
"Hena, why don't you get that I am not interested in her, I am interested in you."
"Really ??
Then you should also get it into your head, I am not interested in you."
Her words hurt my ego.
"So, whom do you interested in? That Imran ....."I asked. My words were coming out like venom.
"Don't you dare to think of any other guy except me? Else.. you don't know what I am capable of doing."I said pulling her dangerously close to me.
"Always bear in your mind. I can go any extent to achieve what is mine.
So, be a good girl and forget that guy. If you don't ......I won't mind remove the obstacle between us."
I gave her a light peck on her cheeks and released her.
Without wasting a second she ran towards her home.
"Silly girl, no matter how much you try to escape from me. You can't.
Because I won't let you."
I chuckled and left for my home.
