Married to Mr. Mafia by Nusrat Jahan (books for 10th graders TXT) 📗

" Don't curl your hand " I scolded him like a 5 year old child. To my surprise , he opened it again and I started covering his wound with cotton . I started feeling uncomfortable under his gaze now . I tried not to meet his eyes as I started bandaging .

" Stop staring at me " I spoke but he didn't stop so I told him what I came to say .

" I am sorry " I looked up , his forehead creased a little but he kept silent .

'' I - umm shouldn't have said what I said downstairs " it was so awkward to apologise .urgh

Slowly his hand raised as he touched my cheeks " what are you doing " my head back away instinctively .

" Because I wanted to see, " he said after a long silence .

" See what " I frown confused .

" That is you for real, " he said in a raspy voice .

" I hope you realised that I character assassinate you " his eyes dug a hole in mine .

" Still you are seeking forgiveness for what you said even though you were right " he leaned on the bedside not looking my way.

" We cannot treat people the way they treat us, " I answered truthfully .

His eyes snap my way … thinking something .

" No matter how bad the person is ?" He raised his eyebrows .

I smiled unknowingly " you can't win people by hate Khalid "

" That's not true " he shook his head, chuckling in the end like he knows how wrong I am .

I sat beside him " tell me who did you win "

" This house , my men , this world " there was arrogance in his voice .

" Did you win Allah s.w.t ?" There was pin drop silence .

I smiled '' Khalid no matter how much money you earn , how many people love you , if you don't have your lord love then trust me you have nothing "

" And you have everything, '' he snapped .

" I do, " I smiled .

" I can hope but you cannot "

" I can love but you cannot "

" I can see light but you cannot "

" I am not drowning but you are " my last word got his attention , as he looked my way with an emotion that I knew deep down he knows what he is doing is wrong but I don't know why he is still doing it .

The real Khalid is behind this mask which he puts on every day

What is Khalid hiding , if he was a bad person ,he wouldn't be in pain right now . He wouldn't have struggled inside . There is something stopping him coming back to the right path and I will find out now no matter what .
