His substitute Bride

Set her free

Love and kindness are never wasted.

Humna p.o.v

" What " his voice boomed angrily .

" Come on " I stomp my feet like a child " don't be dramatic " I scolded and a creased form in his forehead .

" I am dramatic " he raised both his eyebrows .

" Yes " I pushed his chest making my way inside of his room .

" What do you think you are? " he turned completely surprised by my gutsy behaviour .

" A girl …" I pretended " a pretty one " and I blushed .

He scoff " I doubt "

" Hey !"

" Anyway, coming back to the topic, " I clasp my hand excitedly .

" You don't like me " I pointed at myself " and I don't like you " I pointed at him .

" Then what's the point? " I jiggle my hand between us .

" Can we stop , you will make my life hell and I will yours blah blah blah. …. Ya Allah… " I exclaimed dramatically and proceeded to fix my black rimmed glasses .

" Look …. We both can live our life happily with someone whom we can love or at least respect, " I explained. " We don't have to live in hate. I mean come on …. Do you really spend your precious life hating someone who doesn't matter to you at all? " I finished waiting for his answer .

For a few seconds he just stared at me , I wiggle my eyebrows .

The corner of his curl upward " you are not that i***t as much as I thought about you " he looked impressed .

I flip my hair proudly .

" But we cannot take divorce just now… we just got married, " he informed, wearing his black shirt looking absolutely dashing .

" Cool " I shrugged my shoulders and walked up to him .

" Till then can we be friends " I suggested.

He glanced at my hand then asked " what are you 5 ?"

I rolled my eyes " no 18 " I said in duh tone .

He shook his head disappointed " get lost "

" What is it ??? Your favourite word " I ask putting hand on my hips .

" Get out… get out … get out .." I Mimic his heavy tone .

" I take my words back " he wore his navy blue coat. " You are an i***t, " he said while fixing his collar .

" And you are meany " I stuck my tongue out , walking out of his room but I swear I heard his deep chuckled

Next day…..

" What ! But he was supposed to be a hero " I cried out loud about the twist in the plot .

I was reading my possessive best friend and it turned out the hero turned out to be an obsessive lover .

'' Poor Jade, " I whispered, leaning on the bed stand .

Suddenly I heard a thunderstorm and my eyes widened …

ITS RAINING ….. quickly jumping off the bed I went toward the window to catch some droplets .

It's late at night , the sky turned red indicating the dark clouds scattered everywhere soaking each and every corner . I giggled, extending my hand outside the window as always. My ideal rainy day would be sitting by the window and watching the rain, catching some rain drops and feeling the chilly breeze on my cheeks . But today it's different. I had a huge lawn in front of me and there was no one to see me without a hijab . The guards are outside the mansion gate making it easy for me to roam free with my hair open in the garden without being scared that I will see myself anyway .

Walking downstairs quietly so that Granny won't catch me and scolding me for having naughty idea of soaking at such a late night , I walked out on tip toe without any noise .

" Yes ! " I celebrated when I successfully opened the door and got out .

Finally…..

Slowly droplets started to pour and I ran in the centre of the garden laughing as it started to soaked my dress ….

It feels so good & feels cold too.

Extending my both arms... welcoming each and every droplet I closed my eyes savouring the moment .

The smell of rain feels fresh,and it's like a new beginning for me and let's all my "mess" go away.

HUMZA P.O.V

I was in my room having conversations with one of my employees who worked outstanding so I wanted to congratulate him personally.

" yeah…. You have done a good job , Appreciate your efforts, you performed very well outstanding next month your - " I stopped talking on the phone when my eyes caught a girl figure in the middle of night enjoying .

" What the hell? " I muttered to myself .

" Sorry sir ??"

" No not you " I hung up walking near my window only to see Humna playing in the rain all alone smiling and laughing .

I couldn't help but blink slowly. Something about this moment blew me away.

She wasn't even wearing her thick black rimmed glasses which cover half of her face and show her eyes like an egg .

An unwilling smile appeared on my lips when she laid on the ground surrendering herself in the rain .

She is innocent as a lamb.

I clench my fist remembering how her own family used her like she is some goat whom they can sacrifice .

After that encounter I wanted to make her life more difficult but her big mouth and brave words forced me to know her history .

It's saying that you should always know your enemy better than your friends .

But after having her background check .

I realised that she is just an i***t , silly and innocent girl who falls prey to her selfish uncle and aunty hands .

She jumps into a deep pit without realising it can ruin her future yet she did . Either she is too innocent or an absolute i***t .

But whatever it is…

I won't let an innocent life be ruined .

I don't love her and she is too young and I need to find Rumaisa .

I love her ...

It's not Humna faults

I have decided to set her free soon...
