Shah Zain's POV (Edited)

This morning, I woke up tired. I sat on the bed before stretching my arms. Maybe, it's the effect of not sleeping the whole night. Honestly, Shiza's weird behavior kept me up all night. She was all fine when I left than what the hell happened that made her this shaken up. It was completely not making any sense and making me frustrated. I'm even frustrated on myself.

I should be hating this girl. She stole from us. But still seeing her shaken up and almost on the verge of crying made me alert and concerned. My guards stood up on their own and I had the urge to search that person who was responsible for her condition. Her tears stricken face and the trembling of her hands were still printed on my mind.

It was playing like a damn tape recorder. She really did worry me last night. I know I hate her and still hate her for stealing from us but I will never accept any physical or mental attack on her ever by anyone.

My morals are not that low. I will never tolerate a stranger scaring my family or my wife in my absence. I tried to ask her many times to atleast tell me what happened but all she did was zoning out. I decided not to force her since she was already shaken up and I didn't want to add more to her tension.

Speaking of her, I turned to my left side to find her still deep asleep. Well, she didn't sleep well the whole night. I did notice her twisting and turning all the night. I also noticed the way she would act like she was asleep when I would take a turn. I knew she was trying not to show how scared she was last night. I also know that I might be the least expected person for her to show some kind of softness to her. But trust me when I say that I hate when someone touched my family.

And Shiza is my family.

She is my wife. She is my responsibility and I felt really guilty that I failed to protect her. I know I shouldn't feeling like that for her but what can I do. I just can't seem to control my emotions. She was so scared last night. Also, I didn't like the way she just ignored her burnt like it meant nothing. There could be an infection. She is always busy in taking care of dado that she even ignored her own wound.

But weren't you the one who told her to take care of your dado when all she did was taking care of her day and night?

My inner voice mocked at me causing me to close my eyes. Sometimes I felt like a total hypocrite. I stood up from the bed to take a shower. I need to get fresh up. I carefully made my way inside the bathroom not wanting her to wake up by my movements.

As I got dressed for my office, I glanced at the bed and found her still asleep. It's close to 9 now. Should I wake her up? I contemplated on it before deciding on otherwise. She should get some more sleep. She looked tired last night. I grabbed the coat from the hanger and draped it on my arm. I was about to exit the room when my eyes caught something. It was her hand.

The injured one. It was dangling out of the duvet and if I'm not wrong, she could possibly hurt it in her sleep. So, I tiptoed very carefully. I knelt down infront of her. She was facing me but her face was almost covered with the duvet. I gently took her hand and tucked it inside the duvet. I stood up immediately as I noticed her taking a turn. I turned my back to her not wanting her to realize that I was sitting beside her just.

I stood still for few minutes. It was silence. I turned back and found her sleeping. This time her back was facing me. I took a deep breath before opening the door and exiting out. I closed the door on my way and stopped to take a deep breath. What the hell is wrong with me? Why am I acting like a child? I shook my head to clear off my thoughts and descended downstairs.
