????????

Noor..

"What? What did you just say . listen be serious , stop playing these nonsense pranks on me ." I say in an irritated tone . my anger levels are rising . does he really think I am stupid? Mafia , my abbu?

My irritation grows when he doesn't say anything and quietly packs up the chess board . firstly , he is not looking into my eyes . secondly , he said this thing that doesn't make any sense . what the hell is he doing ?

"Hello, mr. Singhania . are you deaf ?" I said waving my hand in front of his face , trying to make him look up and say something .

My anger and irritation go out of control when he still doesn't react and acts as if I am invisible. He gets up and goes to keep the board somewhere .
Why the hell is this man so infuriating.

He comes back in a few seconds and before he could continue his ignoring Noor session , I stand in front of him and hold his face in both my hands . now its good , he will now have to talk to me and he will be looking into my eyes . I do the hair flip in my mind . I am quite smart.

"Now , tell me . do you have proof for whatever you said or was it just a bluff of yours?" I say getting straight to the point .

He doesn't answer and just stares at me with wide eyes . what happened now? This man is just strange .

"Hello , mr.singhania ?" I say and he comes out of whatever daze he was in . he clears his throat and then brings his calm composure back .

"Y-es , I do have proofs of whatever information I have got . " he says in a low tone .

"Show the proof to me. " I say in a confident tone . I am getting doubtful about this being a prank because he does actually look serious . he isn't smiling like he always does while teasing me .

"I can do that , if you leave my face , wife.° he says with a pout that formed because of me holding his face . and then a dread passes through me as I realise . I leave his face with a jerk and step back .

What the fuck did I just do ? I swear I didn't even realise this till he said it. I was just lost in getting him to speak and look into my eyes because I was quite irritated. My reflex actions will get me in trouble some day. I am so stupid . agh . control , Noor .I need to keep a control on myself .

Strangely a red hue covers my cheeks as I avoid looking into his eyes. I turn my back towards him and try to keep myself busy by setting up my pillow and blanket on the couch . I hear his light chuckle . then the sound of a drawer opening follows after sometime.

"Come here , Noor" he says and without looking at him , I go and sit on a good distance from him on the edge of the bed . he comes and sits on the other edge of the bed , placing a black file in between us . I give him a confused look when he opens the file and starts laying out the papers carefully on the bed . after he is done spreading out all the papers , he finally looks up .

"Do you know your father's full name ?" He asks .

"No , all I know about them is that my father used my mother's surname ." I say and start getting restless. He points in a page with his finger .

"His real full name was Iqbal Baig Khan . the Baig Khans are an old money mafia family .the Baig Khan family is behind every big shipment that crosses through our country's borders , both legal and illegal . they do all this openly under the noses of Police because they have great connections with many politicians . they are one of the most respected and are a royal family of the country . all this respect is because your great grandfather and his father were respected men not only in India but in old Turkey too . that is why they still have an easy access to Turkish ports . they have helped the government to form great connections with the Turkish .
Let's get back to the main topic , your father . he didn't want to stay in that mafia family . he wanted to live alone with your mother. Like your mother's family , the Baig khans too didn't accept their son wanting to get married to a hindu girl . your grandfather tried to cage your father but he somehow escaped and started a life with your mother . this is all we know till now . but obviously , I have my suspicions that they had a hand in that accident that killed your parents." He calmly says as I read all the documents . his voice turns blurry as I try to process what I just heard . till now I was just telling myself it is just a prank . but now there is proof that it is true . there are pictures of my father , his documents .

My father belonged to a mafia family .
I belong to a mafia family and my real name is Noor Baig Khan .

The documents fall from my hands . I abruptly stand up and walk towards the couch and lie down . I cover my face with the blanket . I don't want to face anyone right now . I just want the alone . my mind has gone blank again .

I am thankful that he doesn't say anything and lets me be . he turns off the lights and quietly lies down on the bed. Silence takes over the room but there is a storm in my mind . I have lived my whole life thinking that I had no family but now..........
Should I be happy that I finally might have a family now or sad or enraged that the same family murdered my parents , their own son. This situation is so chaotic . do they know that they still have a granddaughter? There are so many mysteries left to unravel in this twisted fate. But I will surely get to the end of this , no matter what I have to go through . I will find out the real culprit behind my parents death .

"Noor" his low voice cuts through the silence of the room .

"Bolo" i say in a low voice as I am feeling quite exhausted. so much happened in one day .

"Chahe tum sirf Noor ho ya phir Noor baig khan ,tum hamesha Meri rahogi Mrs.Singhania. Good night "
He said and strange feelings rose in my heart. A strange Warmth spread in my chest too . I have to suppress these and I will . I bury my face in the blanket and drift of to sleep. Strange husband .

(No matter what your identity is whether you are just Noor or Noor baig khan , you will always be my wife . mine)
