Shiza's POV (Edited)

It was such a nice morning today. The weather was pretty windy today since it's the start of December. But nonetheless, it was sun outside with winds flowing to maintain the balance. Today is also the day when Mr. Barzan will come here yet again.

I don't know if I can face him again after what he did at the party last time. That scene was still pretty much printed into my mind. I tried so hard to forget it but it seems stubborn and kept playing in my mind like a tape recorder. That's why when dado told me to make the food, I couldn't response because I was too worried to reply.

Mr. Barzan never gave me good vibes. My working time with him was based on sheer awkwardness and me trying me to maintain my distance from him. I don't know how will I able to bare him today.

Another thing that bothered me was the incident last night. I felt like there's something between Zarnish and Shah Zain. I meant I'm not saying that he is unfaithful but there's some weird kind of air between them. I often spotted them taking secret glances at each other. More often, Zarnish.

She seemed to be too focused on someone who is just merely her cousin and not to forget a husband to a wife. But again our marriage is not like normal marriage. He didn't want to marry me. I was forced upon him. He never liked me.

But then it hit me..

Could it be that.... Shah Zain doesn't want to marry me because he likes someone else? Can it be possible? Does he likes someone else? Did he want to marry someone else? Can this somebody be Zarnish? These type of thoughts clouded my mind and I couldn't seem to pinpoint.

I shook my head to get rid of these thoughts. No, it can't be. If there was than Shah Zain would have told me. He wouldn't have agreed to marry me if he has someone else. Yes, I must be exaggerating. There's nothing going on between them.

A voice broke my sea of my thoughts

"Shiza, beta!" (Dear)

I looked up startled and found dado standing there. I was in the kitchen. She smiled at me before saying

"What were you thinking?"

I lied swiftly

"Nothing much."

She doesn't believe but thankfully didn't say anything. She sighed before walking to me. She then asked

"So have you decided what to make in the dinner?"

Yeah, that's the problem. I mean I know how to cook. But I don't know what to cook. I don't even know the likes and dislikes of this family. I never got the chance too. I shook my head and a look of confusion appeared on her face. She asked then

"Why not?"

I sighed heavily before answering

"I don't know what to make. What if I make something and nobody likes it?"

I let my insecure thoughts into words. She will never judge me. She sighed before smiling softly. She then stated

"Beta, everyone here likes everything. You can make whatever you like."

At this comment, I heaved a sigh of relief. I nodded my head before asking killing myself to even ask

"Should I make something special for Mr. Barzan?"

She fell into a deep thoughts. I was fidgeting with my fingers. I do that often when I was nervous. She spoke after a moment

"I think you should make the Desi cuisine. No one can't not like this cuisine."
