Another Punishment
To dry her wet hair, she was searching for a hair blower, but she couldn't find it. So she dried it up with a towel and sat in front of the mirror. There were so many various kinds of bottles of perfume placed on the dressing table.
She picked up one of them and started sprinkling it on herself. The scent of perfume was really captivating as it hit her nostrils.
She was wearing a black top with black jeans in which she was looking very pretty. After remembering how fast the time he gave her passed, she stood up quickly and walked out of the room.
As she came downstairs, she ran her eyes around the entire place. In the meantime, a servant approached her.
“Madam, Shah Mir sir has been waiting for you for a long time.” As the servant informed her, she walked behind him and came to a big room. There was a big dining table there. It was so big that almost twenty people could easily sit and take their meal.
Till now, she had seen only the dining room and the room in which she was staying. From both places, it's not difficult for her to decipher that this palace belongs to a person who is a prince.
She found Shah Mir was seated on a master chair where the elder of the house sat. His eyes were lowered while he was waiting for her. From the expression on his face, it's apparent that he is a bit angry.
Taking small steps, she came to him and stood with the chair near him. She left two chairs in the middle and was about to sit on the third one, but before that Shah Mir's voice startled her abruptly.
“Sit here.” Acting upon his gesture, Aleezay quickly pulled out a chair and sat beside him on a chair closer to him. First, Shah Mir stared at her from head to toe and took in the curvy figure of her which was apparent in black shirt and trousers. She was looking very simple, but even in her simplicity, she was looking pretty to him.
On the gesture of Shah Mir, the servant, standing in front of him, went to the kitchen and came back with two more servants and started serving different kinds of dishes on the table. As soon as they got a signal from Shah Mir, they all left the place and walked out.
Shah Mir's eyes were fixed on Aleezay and she, after feeling his heated gaze on herself, was getting a little nervous.
“Why did you come late from the ten minutes I gave you?” Shah Mir asked, boring his eyes on her face. On his question, Aleezay first raised her eyes and looked up at him and then lowered them again and answered him.
“I…I didn't dry my hair that's why I got late.” She answered in a low voice. With that, he averted his eyes to her wet messy hair.
“Next time, be careful. If you get a minute late by the time I give you then it won't be good for you.” Aleezay didn't approve of the way he was threatening and dictating to her again and again for small matters. She felt an urge to scratch his handsome face with her big nails.
As Shah Mir was done with his saying, he picked up a spoon in front of himself. Meanwhile, he happened to listen to the angry voice of Aleezay.
“What do you mean by it won't be good for you? If someone is changing a dress and runs out of your allotted time then does it mean she will…” Before she could complete her saying, she was cut in the middle of it.
“Then she needs to come in whatever condition she is in.” His loud and strict voice echoed in the whole mansion. He didn't approve of the way Aleezay retorted to him. While on the other side, Aleezay, after listening to Shah Mir, was feeling a strange kind of shyness.
Shah Mir started eating food and Aleezay, narrowing her eyes, was still glaring at him. Without looking at her, Shah Mir can feel her eyes on himself. But very soon, she drifted herself to eating and took a spoonful of rice. As soon as she felt the taste of rice in her mouth, she felt it as if her tongue had caught on fire. The rice was too spicy.
In a minute, she drank two glasses of water. Shah Mir was looking at her with questioning eyes.
“It's…it's too spicy,” Aleezay said, making an angle of her brow. In response, Shah Mir didn't show any movement and kept on eating his food comfortably as if it didn't affect him a little.
“Where are you going?” Aleezay was getting angry over his ignoring him. She stood up and was about to go out, but the voice of Shah Mir halted her steps.
“To my room.” She answered, squeezing her anger.
“Why? Who will finish this food?” He asked, making a poker face.
“It's very spicy. I can't eat it.” Aleezay said, making a poor face. Her answer turned Shah Mir's face solemn and strict, and with that, his demeanour also changed into a harsh one.
“You have to eat this. And by the way, you also really like eating spicy things.” He retorted, arching his brow.
“Yes, but who has gone mad to eat such a spicy one.” Aleezay was again speaking to him in her style, making Shah Mir pass a death glare to her.
“I mean, I can't eat that much spicy. All of the dishes here seem very spicy.” She quickly responded, explaining herself to her best. Shah Mir put his spoon on the plate. Now he was completely attentive towards her.
“Right…all the dishes placed here are spicy. But rice is very little spicy from the rest of all these dishes. And in one way or another, you have to finish this plate which you left half now.” On the explanation of Aleezay, he glared harshly at her in anger as he told her.
“But…” Before she could complete her saying, she was cut off in the middle as she again heard his strict voice.
“No more arguments.” He finished and got busy eating his food. Surrendering to his death glare and strict dictation, she, stomping her foot, sat back and started eating her half-finished plate of rice.
During the whole time eating she can't help herself to curse him constantly under her breath.
“Huh, jerk, idiot, thug he eats too many chillies that's why he is so spicy and unbearable.” Shah Mir could easily listen to her muttering with herself, but he didn't react.
Making a poor face, Aleezay was finishing very hard the rice on her plate and along with it, she had also finished almost the whole jug of water placed in front of her.
