Married to Mysterious

CHAPTER TWENTY ONE

With every fiber of my being, I muster all the strength I could and pushed the hunk of a man away from me. I can't figure out all the other emotions I'm feeling aside being furious. What does he think I am? His play toy? A joke? I crossed my hands over my chest and glared at him like my life depended on it.

"What do you think you are doing?"""" I yelled.

He stared at me with a blank expression and the corner of his mouth twitch in a smile. It annoyed me more that he is finding the situation amusing. He is really taking me for a joke.

"I asked you what you are doing?"

He chuckled. He really did chuckled at me and that set me off.

"

"Do you think I'm funny? So now I'm a joke to you? Why did you do that? You thought I was Nadia? Adeel you are a mess! A complete mess! If you love that woman why did you bring me into your mess? Why? You are being cruel do you know that? You are"

I felt my body being jerked and slammed to the door hard. I felt the pain in my my head. His hand gripped me.i closed my eyes tightly the rage in me taking over the pain. How dare he treat me like this.

"Don't. You. Ever. Talk. Like. That. To. Me. Again." He hissed. His fingers digging into my arms.

He look just as furious as I felt and that annoyed me more because he has no right to get angry.

"Why? Why don't I have the right Adeel? Why? What is it with you and Nadia? I feel so dumb marrying you when I don't even know why you two separated."

"You don't have to know!" His voice deadly.

He pushed me aside and turned to leave.

"I'm going to bring it up again. I don't care what you think."

"You are not going to bring it up Hawwa jidda." He spoke calmly in a deadly tone that sends shivers down my spine.

"Then why am I here? Why I'm I stuck up with you? I have a life. I want to have a life. I shouted after him."

That got him to stop walking. He turned to look at me and the anger in his face is replaced by a solemn look.

"Don't make me hate you. I have been trying."

I didn't wait for his reply and entered my room slamming the door behind me.

I touched the bruise on my arms and winced at the pain. I touched my head and there is a lump. It's really swollen. I curled up in my bed and cried. How could he? The man I saw there wasn't the Adeel I was use to seeing. He is capable of hurting me like that. What if he is the real Adeel? What if next time I pissed him off and he goes for my neck? I shuddered at the thought and the possibility of it happening.

The knocking on my door became louder and it annoyed me that he is still there. I ignored him until he started calling my name.

"What is it?"

""Please open the door,"

"Why would i open the door?"

"Please can you just open it?"

"If you are going to come and apologize then save it. I don't want to hear it."

"Jidda please, I never meant to hurt you like that, I... I... don't"

I jerked the door open cutting off his sentence.

"I said i don't want your apologies. How can you hurt me one minute and say sorry the next? Where are you going to lay your hand on me next time?"

"I wouldn't hurt you like that."

"But you will hurt me like this?" I stretched my hands for him to see. "And a lump on my head? Please I beg of you Just leave. Please!"

"Jidd..."

""Don't jidda me! I will really appreciate it if you just leave."

He stared at me for a moment before walking away.

I went back to my room and I didn't went out for the rest of the day.

################################

Seems like hunger is my enemy. I really wanted to stay in my room for the rest of today but I couldn't since I'm hungry.

I walked to the kitchen when an aromatic smell hits my nose and I inhaled deeply my stomach grumbling at the same time. I walked to the kitchen desperate to reach the source of the aroma when I realized the only person that could be cooking in there is the devil himself. I stood by the door watching him cook. He is taking it very serious and for a minute I think he doesn't know that I'm here.

"You can go and wait over there. It will be ready in a few minutes. He said without turning to look at me". So he knows that I was standing.

Note to self : don't think he is not watching, he has invincible eyes at the back of his head

I'm tempted to go and wait for his food but I'm not giving in. I ignored him and picked up a cup and made tea for myself. I picked two pieces of cake and turned to leave when he stopped me.

"I thought I told you to wait a minute jidda, can't you see that I'm cooking?"

"This is what I want to eat."

I quickly walked away to the living room. I keep changing channels looking for something interesting to watch. I was about giving up when I found twilight and settled for it.

Engrossed in the movie I didn't hear him come in until he sat on the seat beside me. I am tempted to glance at him but I didn't.

I tried as much as I can to ignore his presence but it was hard because

1 he is very close to me

2 he is burning holes at my side with the way he is looking at me

3 because I am very angry

4 I'm very curious as to what he is going to say.

"WHAT??" I finally blurted out.

"I thought you will keep pretending that you didn't see me."

"Who said I was pretending?? Why would you stare at someone like that?" I turned to face him with a glare.

"When you are quite you really look like an angel."

What the.. Idiot..

"What are you saying?""

But when you open your mouth you become a witch."

"It's only right since I'm married to the devil himself." I replied instantly.

What ever he was about to say was cut of by the ringing of my phone.

Addda jidddda.. She yelled and I had to move the phone away from my ear for a moment.

Have you gone crazy? What's with you people and yelling? Last time it was feenah and now you too walida?

She giggled and was quite for a moment. The wedding has been postponed.

Again? Why are they going back and forth?

I'm not even excited anymore.

I know how you guys are excited about the wedding. We all are. Let's just hope it brings good. Whats the new date?

In three months. I never knew three months will sound like forever.

I laughed at that. "I'm sure it will come before we know it. And we get more time to prepare."

"Yeah you are right. Just wanted to tell you. I'm hanging up. The groom to be said to call him. "

"I'll call him." My regards to everyone.

She hanged up.

"Who are you going to call?"

He almost scared me. I almost forgot he is here.

I noticed that he lowered the volume while I was on phone. I picked the remote intending to raise it when he held it stopping me.

I looked up in confusion. He stared at me for a moment. Opening his mouth and closing it again.

"Jidda.. About what happened earlier."

"Don't!" I cut him off.

"Jidda..'

"Just don't. I don't want to hear it. If you want to apologize I don't want to hear it right now. " I'm really not ready to forgive him. He went as far as hurting me physically and that is not accepted.

"I'm going in. Good night."

"Why don't you finish the movie first?"

"I don't mind. I watched it a hundred times before."

"Good night then."

I walked away without a second glance even when he is burning holes to my back.
