It's not short and it's not long either.. I don't know. It fits somewhere in the middle 😂

Kind of rushed the last part. Meh~

I hope you like it..

~~~HUSSAIN's POV~~~

The moment I stepped out of the airport, I allowed the fresh air to greet me. It was cold but, at least not freezing. However, I didn't get to cherish the moment for very long because a large crowd gathered around me, almost crushing me in the middle. My guards instantly took their positions and created a wall between me and the fans. I threw a few flying kisses at them and waved at them before making a run for the door. Outside was a car waiting for me. I quickly sat inside and heaved a sigh of relief. The door, on the side, opened and Shehry hurriedly got inside.

"Why do you always have to leave me alone like that?" He groaned while our driver chuckled.

I gave Shehry an evil smile and threw my head back on the seat. Soon the car roared to life and we drove off. I dozed off soon after and was woken up by Shehry after we reached our destination, the Grewal house. While Shehry quietly dragged himself inside, I sighed, staring at the large iron gate. Another huge crowd coming my way before I can finally spend some time with Preet. Aur abhi toh wahaan bhi pata nahi kitna manana parega.

Chal bhai, Hussain, kuch toh karna parega.

~~~PREET's POV~~~

I swear I was not going to dress up, or apply any makeup or set my hair.

Or glance at the mirror every two seconds.

It just happened.

I swear. Well, not quiet.

"Preet jaldi jaldi haath chala- they have arrived already," Mehek bhabhi nudged my shoulder and I quickly stirred the kheer. Hussain loves it.

I could hear the chattering outside so, as soon as kheer was cooked, I turned off the stove and went outside. Shehry looked at me and I smiled. He nodded and my eyes wandered off to look for Hussain. I couldn't see him anywhere in the room and before I could ask Shehry, he answered my question, "Sorry Preet; Hussain toh thora busy hai- kuch scenes reh gaye the so last minute plans with my assistant directors."

"Oh," I replied politely and blinked. Jiske liye subha se itna sab kuch kiya- woh hi nahi aaya. This is not fair Hussain!

Once everyone was settled again and Shehry started sharing his shoot experience, I excused myself and went to my room. I just want to be left alone as I was quite pissed right now. Har waqt kaam kaam kaam. Just one month and he is back to being himself. You know what? I just don't care. I just want to sleep it off and not think about him.

As I entered my room, I closed the door and locked it. Resting my head on it, I sighed. I turned around to reach for the light switch when a hand slammed against my mouth. An arm snaked around my waist and I stumbled backwards until my back was right against the door. The curtains were drawn so it was fairly dark in the room but, I knew exactly who it was. I smiled against his palm as he slowly leaned in to kiss the back of it, reminding me of our very first kiss.

"Missed me?" He whispered and I nodded.

Hussain removed his hand and cupped my cheeks. "Me too," he said before planting a kiss on my forehead and my smile widened. It is the cutest thing he does to me.

"I am sorry," I whispered back, slowly wrapping my arms around his waist. He exhaled as I rested my head on his chest, listening to his heart.

"Why?"

For hating you a minute ago.

"Bas yun hi." I said instead and he pulled away. "Pre-"

"Surprise!" Loud voices suddenly echoed in the room, making me flinch. The window in my room, that opens in the hallway, sprung open and a dozen heads showed up. One of them was Shehry's.

"Darwaza band kiya toh khirki bhi kar lete!" He advised, mockingly. Hussain groaned while I buried my face in his chest.

"Saale help kar ke khud hi fasa diya!" Hussain said, irritated and I laughed.

"Oye saale hum hain tere aur tu sadda jija! Chal ab bahar aa," Rajveer veerji sneered as Hussain pushed everyone out of the window. While he locked it, I reached for the door.

Holding my hand he pouted, "Abhi Nahi na."

I giggled and ruffled his hair before unlocking it. Hussain groaned before the door opened wide, making Daljit and Gurmeet tumble forward.

Hadd hai yaar.

~~~ATIF's POV~~~

I yawned as a light ray of sun penetrated through my eyelids. I squinted my eyes and rolled over to face the other side. Moving my hand along the silk sheets, I realised that Aisha was not there.

I looked at the clock and frowned. It's 10:30AM and Aisha didn't wake me up. That's strange.

"Aishu?" I called out but, all I could hear was the clock's ticking and birds' chirping. I got off the bed and checked the washroom but, there was no one in there.

"Aishu?" I called out again and received no reply. Now I was starting to panic. Where is she?

However, before I could run outside and check, I heard some noises coming from the kitchen. I walked up to the large double door and saw her, swinging side to side. She softly hummed to a song with her headphones plugged in.

I leaned against the door as she added some ingredients into a large bowl. Then she spun around and halted the moment her eyes fell on me. Her headphones slipped and while she struggle to grab them in time, I laughed.

I quickly glided across the titled floor and caught them before her. I placed them over her head again. I smiled and she slowly slipped her fingers between mine. Aisha lifted my hands and place them on her waist. Her arms snaked around my neck and I slightly lowered my shoulders to match her short height.

I don't know which song was playing but, when she slowly began moving, I did the same.
I found my hands tightly gripping on to her as I pulled her fragile body closer to mine. I just do not want to let go of this girl. Ever.

I remember the psychologist telling me earlier this week that Aisha would either positively react to the treatment or her condition may get worse. No medicines can actually treat her depression; only love can. So, I spend as much time as possible with her but, a part of me is still scared. Scared that one day I'll wake up and all this improvement will be gone. Scared that one day she will stop responding.

Thinking about it brought tears into my eyes and I quickly buried my face in her neck. Wrapping one hand around her, I wiped my eyes with the other.

Damn. I can't afford to lose this girl!

~~~HUSSAIN's POV~~~

"Thank you," a script writer finished the his speech and the crowd cheered. Then a dance performance came on and I silently yawned while others had their eyes glued to the TV.

Right now we were watching the awards which were finally being telecasted. However, I was more interested in going to our bedroom and spend time with Preet.

Since Shehry decided to ruin our little moment, Preet and I didn't get even a single second to talk. Even while having dinner, Gurmeet and Daljit sat like barriers between us.

I huffed and looked over at Preet. She was busy discussing her experience of watching the awards live. She nodded and answered questions but, with a tight smile for some reason. I frowned but, then shrugged the thought away. Maybe she is as tired as I am right now.

Soon the dance was over and they announced nominations for best actors in supporting roles. I zoned out shortly after as sleep began taking over me. Suddenly the room roared to life as everyone began cheering. I looked around confused, until my eyes fell on the screen.

The camera focused on Preet while the anchor announced, "And the debut award for the best female singer of the year goes to Simarpreet Hussain!"

I almost chocked on air as my mouth hung open. I saw her walking up to the stage and then accepting the award- just like we had dreamt of since her first song came out.

"Thank you for all the love and support," Preet said in the mic and walked off. I looked over at her, sitting across the room, while her cousins still whistled.

Her first award was supposed be a huge celebration and the whole time I was busy fighting with her.

Was I really neglecting her? I have been so full of myself that I almost forgot to remember little things about her. Yet, she didn't complain.

"Uhh.. I am really tired so, I guess it should sleep before tomorrow's shoot," I announced and walked back to the room.

How could I be so ignorant? I kept asking myself. The whole time I boasted about my award and forgot to even ask her about her's. I bet Preet has no idea how disappointed I am with myself right now.

~~~PREET's POV~~~

Hussain awkwardly excused himself and I frowned. I know that he wasn't going to sleep- I know exactly why he walked out. But, how does that even matter now? The bottom line is that he is changing and that award night is like- history now.

"Main abhi aayi," I excused myself and everyone cooed. I rolled my eyes as I swam through the large crowd of family members. It's been three years- now they can seriously stop mocking us like newlyweds.

I walked back to the room and saw Hussain sitting with his head in his hands. I sighed as I went to sit with him. He glanced my way and quickly looked away.

"This is why we fought that day," he whispered and I said nothing, "this is why we used to fight every time? Because I was basically ignoring you!"

"Hussain woh sab yaad kar ke kya faida?"

However, he continued, ignoring my question, "I kept blaming you while I was the one at fault." He punched the bed's wooden frame and I gasped.

"No! It was our fault only! We just failed to communicate and that day my mood swings made it worse. That's it," I told him but, he stared at me, unconvinced.

He looked away and I sighed.

"Hussain. Look at me," I insisted, cupping his face, "that time is gone now. It doesn't matter anymore- What matters is that we are together and we are not a pair anymore."

As much as he tried, he couldn't help the sheepish grin that made its way to his lips at my mention of our little Peekachu. I took the opportunity to steal a kiss on his one cheek and pull the other one.

I giggled while he huffed, "you should be glad that I can't punish you right now!"

I asked, sounding scared, "aisa kya karne ka iraada tha?"

Hussain shot me a glare before a smirk appeared on his lips. He leaned forward and I slowly leaned backwards to maintain a distance. He brought his one arm forward and wrapped it around my waist while the other rested against the bed, for support.

"Trust me, you don't wanna know," he gloated in his velvety voice, adding a wink at the end.

I gulped as his eyes lowered to my lips and then met my eyes again. His smile turned softer and used the opportunity to push him away.

"Dur hato," I tried sounding serious. He moved but, didn't let go. Instead, he laughed so, I pulled his cheek again.

"Oww!" He howled and this time I laughed. However, I stopped instantly when I felt his intense gaze on me. Not smiling- just staring. Deep into my soul.

"I promise I'll give you the time and love that you deserve," he softly said and I blinked at him.

Is there anything else that I can ever ask for?

"Acha ab yeh rona band Karo!" Hussain said sternly, as he ran his fingers across my waterline. I chuckled, realising that I was crying yet again.

"I can't help it," I rolled my eyes, as we sat up straight, "you are the best thing that ever happened to me, Hussain- it's so hard to believe that it's actually happening."

He didn't say anything but, kept smiling. His gaze burnt my skin like always.

"Stop staring," I told him, awkwardly and he laughed. "Nahi. Kabhi Nahi! You are my wife and I have the right to."

I rolled my eyes and got off the bed. Before I could walk away, Hussain grabbed my wrist and twisted me around. Snaking his arms around my waist, he softly pulled me closer. I rested my hands on his chest and lowered my gaze. He simply refused to take his eyes off my face.

"And correct me if I am wrong- you like the way I look at you!" He claimed in his raspy voice.

"Nope," I casually shrugged, making him frown. He pouted and I laughed at his cuteness.

"Because, I love it."
