Chapter 11 Possessive much?

From Sahir's Point Of View

Morning

Sultan's Mansion

I know Zaki has been waiting for me in the living area. As I walked out of my room, I saw his glimpse, and how he is frustratingly sat on the sofa. Of course, his room is getting redecorated without his permission. He must have got to know that I am behind all of this. As soon as I stepped down from the stairs, I noticed Zaki marching at me furiously.

As soon as he stood in front of me, he started throwing a pile of questions at me.

"What is this all happening Bhaaijaan (brother)? Staff told me, that you have ordered them to bring changes in the mansion? For what reason, the redecoration is happening in MY ROOM? Care to explain, please? The big cars have also moved to the other side of the mansion and our torture rooms are also locked. This is our ancestral mansion, with a lot of hard work our Abbajan (Father) had built it. We have been born here Bhaijaan! Now suddenly you are redecorating it, Why?"

I can't stop smiling with the thought of Zoya living with me.

"Because she is coming here to live with us," I told him.

Zaki's eyebrows raised up. "Who Bhaijaan?"

"My Madonna I mean Zoya" The moment I said, Zaki jumped in joy.

"What?? Is this true ?"

I nodded smiling at him.

"Ammi...Ammii. Come here quickly" Zaki couldn't contain the happiness. He called Zubaida Ammi and I am completely uninterested in telling her about this news. I watched Zubaida Ammi running towards us worriedly when she heard Zaki yelling. 

"What happened? Sahir are you okay? Zaki are you okay?" She asked. Huh, since when she started caring about me? I ignored her and pulled out my phone to check any messages.

"Yes Ammi, guess what? Good news!! good news" Zaki jumped. He sounded so much excited. I can't help but smile on seeing my younger brother's excitement over my happiness.

"Bhabhijaan (Sister-in-law) is coming here to live with us," Zaki declared it with all excitement. I glanced at Zubaida Ammi. She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion but suddenly her eyes widened in a surprise.

"What? Zoya is coming here? Really Sahir? " She joyously looked at me but I gave her a nod without looking at her.

"Alhamdulillah. After 9 years, I'm going to meet her. This is really good news,

I'm going make something sweet for her " Saying this she happily went inside the kitchen.

I turned towards Zaki.

"Zaki, you know everything. Not even a single mistake should happen. She will stay in the room beside my room, clean it well."

He nodded his head with a grin and the next moment his face fell.

"You gave her my room without even asking me! Where will I stay then ?"

I chuckled and replied, "Storeroom!"

"What? no.. no..You are bluffing" He looked at me suspiciously. I kept my face blank not letting him a hint that I am pranking on him.

I saw him gulping in fear.

"Okay, Bhaijaan anything else?" He asked.

"Yes. Be careful about Zoya should not get to know about me yet okay? So no use of guns and weapons in the house. At least in front of her." I told him.

He nodded agreeing to me.

"Bhaijaan..you don't worry. I'll take care of everything," Zaki said with a bright smile on his face.

I checked the time in his wristwatch.

"Okay, then I will leave for work. Then I'll bring Zoya here okay. Take care of everything as I said"

"Of course Bhaijaan." Saying this Zaki started handling the staff and I left the mansion.

-

I couldn't control my happiness. Zoya will be shifted in my mansion. That means I can have the privilege to see her every day at any time.

Then there will be no going away from me. I'll make sure we will live under one roof forever. My hidden motive for Zoya bringing in my mansion is to get closer to her and make her open up her feelings which she is hiding from me, then only I'll tell her my truth. I couldn't concentrate on my work today, thinking about her. I have sent my men at her hostel, to remove her name from their faculty. I've also made sure that she will not get a place to stay anywhere in the town. Thankfully I didn't have much work today. Just a few deals I sanctioned today. I was continuously checking my watch. I was so impatiently waiting for the time move ahead quickly & when it will show the time I wanted to meet Zoya.

I decided to call her giving up to my impatience. She picked up the call and all I heard her trembling voice. 

"H hello"

"What happened Zoya?" I asked her in concern. Though I know what must have happened to her.

I heard her sobbing. Shit!

"I am coming there Zoya right now," I said and got up hurriedly. I grabbed the keys and left towards her workplace. My actions did not mean to make her cry. I know she must have kept the hope of finding a place to live but the Sultan within me has done a part which is unapologetic enough. I have already spread a warning message to every place around the state that nobody will accommodate a place to a woman named Zoya.

Zoya, there is only one place for you to live. In my mansion! Along with me! And nowhere else.

I reached her workplace driving the car in speed.

I parked my car, outside her office. I don't get the fact why her boss has kept meeting on Sunday? She said it's for newly appointed employees but I did not like it.

I checked myself once in the mirror. I have been wearing her favorite color today. Red!

I got down from my car & stood leaning on it, crossing my legs.

I checked the time again. Why she hasn't shown up yet?

I adjusted my hair, brushing my fingers through it multiple times.

Ahhh there she is!

She stepped down from the stairs and walked towards me, searching for something in her bag.

Look at me Zoya!

I desperately waited for her.

The moment our eyes met, I felt a big relief in my heart. She gave me a small smile & waved looking at me. Her face looked dull and upset. It's because of me. I know Zoya. And it's my responsibility to make up your mood back to cheerful. Suddenly I noticed a man calling from behind her. Zoya turned back to look at him. The man started talking with her smiling.

Who the hell he is? Does he have any death wish? I saw Zoya started walking towards me with the man. All the while, he kept glancing at her.

"Hi, Sahir meet..."

I held her wrist and quickly pulled her towards my side keeping t my hand on her waist, showing my claim on her. The man with her seemed to notice my actions. Zoya looked hesitant first. But thankfully she didn't create any scene.

"Sahir, meet my boss & CEO of this 'Famous event company' Mr.Sodabottleoperwala " Zoya introduced him.

"Glad to meet you Mr. Sahir" He offered his hand to me.

You will no more be glad duh.

"Hello Mr.Opener" I greeted in my style and saw him looking at me with disbelief.

I don't want that opener to look at Zoya more. "Let's go Zoya" She held my wrist and pulled me down to her height.

"Aah. Actually Sahir, his car is damaged and..."

"So? he will take a cab let's go," I said cutting her words.

"Sahir he is my boss " She whispered.

Oh really? Then I have to tell him who is the boss.

She whispered more, "And I already told him that we don't have any problem to drop him"

My Zoya is so naive. What should I do with you Zoya?

"Umm, we can drop you nearby Mr. Sodabottleopnerwala," She said. I gave him a look of warning and dare. He did not seem to understand it. Well, I have my other ways too.

"Ouch" I squealed when Zoya hits me with her elbow in my stomach. I rubbed over it faking a smile. "SURE" I plastered a smile looking at Zoya turned and Opener followed her.

"Mr. Opener will sit with me on the front," I said and he nodded.

We sat in the car. I adjusted my rear mirror to look at her. But then I saw him glancing back at her & mocked at me "Looks like your friend doesn't talk much"

Friend? I am more than that to her.

A man should not cross his limits, especially with my woman. I gripped on the steering imagining that it's his neck. I drive off ahead silently. After passing a few meters, I stopped the car in front of the pharmacy.

"Zoya, can you bring these medicines for Zubaida Ammi?"

"Yeah sure" Once she got down from my car. I noticed him looking all the way at my Zoya in meantime I pulled out my gun.

"Let's talk now"

He looked at me and my gun. His eyes widened in shock.

"Nine years ago, a poor man came to meet me, with the hope of buying land for his business. And look at his fate! He bought the land from me. He had no money in his account but he assured me to pay back all the money."

"S..S... Sultan" I saw his face became pale. Good! Very good!!

"Finally !" I huffed.

He started trembling like a leaf. "I....I...l will pay all the debts & I .. I...I didn't know she is your friend "

"Boyfriend'' I corrected him. Is he blind to see how close I stood with her a while ago?

"I'm...I'm..s.. sorry. I'll make sure to raise her s salary too" He said.

Does he really think Sultan's girlfriend needs money?

"How about..." I touched my gun on his arm. "No looking, touching, talking with her ever!"

He nodded in fear.

"Hmmm...good, and tell me more about yourself Opener. How is your family ?" I kept my gun back to under my seat before Zoya comes.

"G.. good," He said.

"Any kids?" I stared at him

"N...no"

"Then concentrate on that

& stop eyeing on my woman!'' I warned him.

"Y...Yes," He stuttered.

Soon Zoya came and sat inside.

"Zoya Mr. Opener is getting down here," I said.

"Y...Yes...Miss Zoya, I'll go from here, I remembered some work." he said without looking at her.

Very good.

"Oh..okay..bye Mr.Sodabott" He didn't even let her complete.

He left I mean ran away.

Zoya confusingly looked at him. I huffed. I saw her opening the door of the backseat.

"Now come here at the front seat will you?" I said.

"Oh wait" She immediately got down and sat beside me.

I felt peace in my heart. Didn't she notice that I'm wearing her favorite color? I was excepting a compliment from her but looks like she didn't even notice it.

"Why he ran like that?" She asked.

I shrugged. "Don't know...may be " I showed my pinky finger to her.

"Stop it you" She playfully hits her hand on my shoulder.

I started driving towards my mansion.

"All excited to meet Zubaida Ammi & Zaki?" I asked.

"Yes yes very excited..." She said clapping her hands together, I can see her excitement.

"Aahh. You never get this much excited to meet me!" I pouted and she giggled.

"Because Idiot, I meet you every day

but after so many years. I'm going to meet them. I should have met them way before but because of you, I couldn't. Now I'll finally meet them." She happily said.

I wish I could have taken you home long back ago, but situations were not good.

I drive my car on the way towards my mansion.

"Why your house is in this secluded area? Isn't it strange? like still no one had ever bought these lands?" Zoya talked with me while looking outside.

I hummed. I know she will throw some random questions at me & I was prepared for it mentally. She pulled out her phone and scrolled through something. I noticed her getting stressed.

"What happened Zoya?" I asked.

"Why here isn't any network?" She said frustratingly switching off her phone and turning it on again. I wish I could tell her, I have placed network jammers here so no one could track where I live.

"Zoya," I said.

She snapped her head at me "Hun?"

"Why you were crying before?" I asked. Her face fell again.

"I did not get a single accommodation Sahir. Even my Hostel faculty gave my accommodation to someone else." She looked a little pale. "Now where I will live?" She murmured fiddling with her fingers.

"Don't worry Zoya, everything will be fine,'' I said. She wiped her tears. Oh, the bastard me!

I gripped on my steering. I felt a little guilty. She told me how it is God planning an unfair game with her. She even told me how much she is surprised that not a single place in the state can give her a place to live. Her face became small. She looked on the verge if cry. I did not plan to make her this much upset.

"Please don't get upset Madonna. Everything happens for a reason " The reason is me! "Think about Zubaida Ammi. What she will say if she gets to know you are sad"

I said & she nodded her head.

I'll make her every day memorable and happy with me, I promised to myself.

She kept looking outside & surprising over the fact that nothing much changed.

How to tell her now? How much drastically my life has been changed!

From a little distance, I saw my mansion.

"Looks like we are home, Madonna !"

Zoya smiled a little when the gate opened and I drive inside.

I hope Zaki had done his work properly. We got down from the car. She stood there for a while staring at the mansion and the garden. I know she was remembering childhood days. How did we use to play? How did we use to fight?

"I can't believe my eyes. It's just a few days ago we were kids," She said, then looked at me "By the way you are looking handsome in red !"

Did she just compliment me? Oh, my heart!

"Let's get inside" I held her hand and to my surprise, she intertwined her fingers in mine. I felt my happiness reached in cloud 9.

I looked at her and she gave me a heartwarming smile.

As soon as we stepped inside the house, I saw Zubaida Ammi and Zaki running towards us.

I mean towards her.
