Chapter 8, Its Punishment, Not Love!

Evening

"umm!... I am sure, I messaged you that theme is western, " Arham said, looking at Ayat from top to bottom. She was wearing a long black frock with chuddi-dar shalwar and net dupatta.

"Yes, You did, but I didn't like the theme... therefore I got dressed the way I like, " Ayat said, pressing her to laugh.

"Ayat, it's a theme party..." Arham said, looking at her as she had grown horns on her head.

"Oh yes! if I will go like this then it will be so embarrassing for you...do you still want me to come with you?" Ayat asked blinking at him innocently.

"You know, I am confirmed Ayesha is your sister...same childish behaviour but not going to work on me, sit inside, " Arham said, opening the car's door for her.

"You are ready to get embarrassed but can't cancel this stupid plan, " Ayat asked, watching him with complete surprise. Arham shrugged his shoulder.

"he is a complete jerk!.." Ayat whispered while sitting inside the car.

"what did you say?" Arham narrowed his eyes at her. Ayat ignored his question and closed the door for herself.

"She is... I have no words," Arham muttered, shaking his head as he walked around the car and sat behind wheel.

*******************************

"Didn't like the party?" Arham asked, sitting beside her on the same bench.

"Party is nice..." Ayat said with a smile. Arham watches her eating trifle.

"Then what are you doing here?" He asked, taking the spoon from her hand.

"I didn't like people at the party... Especially those who don't have basic manners to ask for something." Ayat said, glaring at Arham for eating her cake.

"Did someone say anything to you?" Arham asked with a smile, at her taunt and took another bite.

"Some women were giving me free advice."

"Advice?"

"Hmm...They were saying, you are a playboy and I should rethink about my decision to be your girlfriend," Ayat said, taking back spoon from his hand. Arham laughed loudly at that. Ayat watched him laughing while eating. Her eyebrows knotted together, seeing him laughing like mad.

"What's funny?... You being playboy or me being your girlfriend?" Ayat asked,

"You being me girlfriend... If I bring someone with me, that doesn't mean we are in a relationship... We live in a funny world, don't we?" Arham said, chuckling.

"It means you are playboy... That woman was giving me sincere advice and I mistook it" Ayat said, shaking her head a little in regret.

"Girls get bore of me and leave after few months what is my mistake?" He said, shrugging his shoulder, a carefree smile on his lips.

"They leave or you make them leave?" Ayat asked, Arham facial expressions changed to serious. Ayat sensed his silence and turned her face to the side to glance at his face.

"Mr.arham it's means you get bore easily but that is no longer the case," Ayat said, turning back to eating. Arham stared at her with ticked jaw

"I DON'T LIKE HER!" He said in his brain.

"Why not?" Arham asked, narrowing his eyes at her.

"You are trying to get back sana in your life...Its means you quit your job of a playboy," Ayat said, in a satisfied tone.

"Ayat what do you think, why I am doing this?" Arham asked, moving his face close to her's

"because you don't want to lose her," Ayat said in an obvious tone. Arham burst out laughing. Ayat stared at him with confused and annoyed expressions. Arham stopped laughing and looked at her.

"you are funny..." Arham said after clearing his throat. she raised her eyebrows.

"What?... You seriously don't know?" Arham stared at her in shock.

"are you going to tell me anything or will only stare at me with weird expressions of yours? " Ayat said in a displeased tone.

"I am not doing this because I can't live without her.... are we shooting some kind of drama?" Aarham said, shaking his head.

"then?..."

"punishment.....seeing that man with her?" He asked, signing at Rehan who just entered inside with Sana. Ayat looked at them then back at Arham.

"she could have gone to any man, I wouldn't have cared a bit but not him... she shouldn't have cheated with him therefore she needs a lesson to learn...."Arham said, still looking at Sana and Rehan.

"lesson?..... you mean when she will come back to you, you will accept her then humiliate her and will break up..." Ayat asked, praying with all her heart that he will again laugh and call her stupid.

"Sort of..." He said, looking back at her. Ayat stared at him, Her eyes filled with disbelief.

"What's with the look?... When did I tell you, I love her?" Arham said, seeing her looking at him like he broke her trust or something.

"My mistake... I shouldn't have come here with you," Ayat said, getting up with a jerk, Arham held her wrist, making her look at him.

"You misunderstood the situation why are you getting angry with me?"

"You are an asshole..." Ayat said, freed her wrist with her other hand and walked out from there. Arham moves his fingers through his hair, being frustrated as hell.
