His substitute Bride

Revenge

Rejection and adversity can upgrade your life because they push you, challenge you, and make you rise up to another level.”

Humna p.o.v

" Why! WHY ! WHY ! WHY " I cried, throwing all the stuff to catch my hand .

I felt uncontrollable anger, fear, and helplessness .

I don't know what's hurting me more that he doesn't think of me in that way or just like Asad he is still in love with Rumaisa while I am drowning with embarrassment .

" Why did I have to imagine him as my prince charming " I grab my hair frustrated , I don't want to go through another rejection again it's painful .

I look at my reflection in the mirror ….

" It's all because of you .." I spat bitterly pointing at myself .

" I shouldn't have such big dreams … it never happens in real life .. never " I cried like a child .

'' no " I wipe my tears " it's because of that i***t Humza who led me into thinking that he likes me "

I clench the sheet on my fist angrily .

Few days later

Granny and I have been spending lots of time since my break down and about Humza. I am ignoring his existence but the fact that he didn't even notice makes my blood boil .

" No no dear.." Granny stops me from putting more spice on the food she is making for Humza .

" But why ??" I question " I mean it's just a few sprinkles ??"

" He doesn't like spicy food at all, " she said as I shrugged nonchalantly . Like I care ….

The moment granny left , I took a peri peri masala " hottest spicy food challenge " I read out loud with both raised eyebrows written in the packet .

Whatever as long as it gave him a taste of the reward of playing with my heart .

Suddenly another idea popped up in my mind like a light bulb and an evil smile appeared on my lips , rubbing my hand excitedly. I took a pomegranate juice and poured a full spoon of chilly , mixing it well .

I flip the packet aside

Little did I know that there was a warning in the back of the paper which I didn't read… one of the most dangerous chilly pepper used carefully

" Is it ready? " Granny came to take the tray but I quickly moved from her grasp .

" Don't worry I will give it to him " I volunteered .

Her eyebrows furrowed " are you sure ?"

" Yes of course , after all he is my husband " I spoke shyly then looked down fake blushing to look more real .

Someone should give me award

" Okay " she said unsure then proceeded to wash the dishes .

An evil smirk appears on my face as everything is going according to my plan .

I feel like some vamp in a dramatic soap opera .

Anyway I took the tray heading to his room , evil laugh all the way …. His room door was slightly open so kick it slowly, giving my body enough space to enter .

He was flipping through some files and his eyes were scanning those lines like some machine. He didn't even bother to look up until I snatched the papers from him. I heard a low growl . His eyes finally snap at my direction with a hint of anger but soon it softens when it adjusts on me .

His eyes dropped to the food then a me " hey " he said standing up then taking the tray from my hand .

I frown at his behaviour ….

Does he really have to be so polite ??? It would have been so easy to take revenge if he was previously bad Humza.

" Thank you '' he said before taking the files from my hand .

I bite my lips.,..... Am I doing right ??? I thought to myself .

" beside she is a kid who didn't even complete her high school and i***t, immature kids who has a long future ahead "

Turning on my heels I walked out of the room… " It's just a little spicy, not that I am trying to kill him, " I mutter while walking out but not far away from his room .

I peep slowly , much to my disappointment he was engross in his stupid paperwork but after some time , his eyes fell on the tray and with a tired sigh before pulling the tray near and started digging .

I don't know what bad crawls into my heart but instead of feeling ashamed of my behaviour . My lips spread uncontrollably in a grin .

Mission Accomplished

I came downstairs happily but something wasn't right . I thought after this stunt I would be satisfied but instead my heart started to feel restless .

Have I done something wrong???

" But it just a harmless prank " I whispered trying to defend myself

Suddenly I heard hurried footsteps making their way down the stairs grunting…

I turned to see Humza struggling in his steps badly , grabbing his hair with one hand into a tight fist , his face almost turning red and his eyes were glossy and red .

He looked like he was choking dangerously .

His eyes found mine and I was frozen to see his state , he looked horribly painful .

" Hu- Humna '' he breathed and tried to grasp my shoulder from afar for help .

Suddenly realisation dawned on me and I ran back to the kitchen , grabbing a cart of milk. I came running , he knelt on the floor with an open mouth and saliva dropping .

Ya Allah what have I done …..

" Drink this " I knelt beside him rubbing his back as tears started to threaten my eyes too.

He aggressively grabbed the cart and started gulping like he has been thirsty for years . Milk spilled from his jaw to shirt .

But it wasn't enough he threw away the cart " bri- brin" he breathed out " more " he couldn't even complete his sentence. I ran back to brink more cart but before I could his body fell unconsciously on the floor with a thud and I felt someone knocked the breath out of me .

" HUMZA …." I shouted at the top of my lungs, horrified .
