Assalamualaikum.

When I say I was not feeling well since few days then that doesn't mean I'm COVID positive Allah na kare (God forbid)😬

Yes I'm not feeling well but for a good reason. Yes I'm pregnant Alhamdulillah🤰 🙈 and this pregnancy sickness makes me weak. It looks so good in the book but in real life pregnancy is not easy.😰 I can't eat everything even my favourite thing. I can't even drink water without vomiting🤮😭 but still here I'm writing stories for my impatient readers. I never liked to kept you on waiting.😥

Please pray for me and my baby's health❣

Arshad's POV,

I went to Asam's room after getting ready. He was struggling with the sherwani buttons and with the small shawl. His face had that frustrated look which every groom held if he was not looking the way he wants even though he looks dashing but still the confusion was there.

"You look handsome, trust me" I compliment going toward him.

"Are you sure, Bhai? This shawl looks good on me? And this button is suffocating all of a sudden" he began complaining. I shook my head smiling.

I was also like this on my wedding day with Sofia. So nervous so confused about my appearance but happy. But with Isha, I didn't know what happened and how my life took a 360° turn. That time I didn't get the chance to feel anything but the pain of betraying Sofia. Isha was nowhere in my mind, I didn't even know her name at the moment of our nikah, only thing that if this didn't happen then that little girl will be killed.

"Bhai!" Asam brings me out of my chain of thoughts. I look at him shaking all other thoughts.

"Han mere Bhai... Sabhiya will faint after seeing you"

"What!!?" He yelled in shock. "I don't want her to faint. I want her to look at me as if I'm the only handsome man on this earth" he said with a dreamy smile on his lips.

"That's what I meant" I shook my head.

After that, I help him with other stuff while putting some knowledge in him about the first night. He blushed not meeting my eyes and nodding his head at everything I say. I laugh at his face which made him pout like a little kid.

Author's POV

Sofia came out of the room after taking all her time with the beautician. She was looking stunning and Arshad felt himself smiling looking at his beautiful wife. Sofia smile back and stood in front of him with a proud smile on her face.

"How am I looking?" She asked raising her eyebrows. She could say like always she makes Arshad speechless.

"Stunning" he could say the only word before wrapping his arms around her waist and placing a small peck on her red tainted lips. Sofia laughs before pulling back. hand in hand, they walk out of the house where Nikah was going to be done.

Isha was coming when she saw them clinging to each other but surprisingly this time she didn't felt envy or any pain cause she was also getting what she wanted, in fact, she was getting more than she asked. She knew from the beginning that Arshad loves Sofia and nothing will change his feelings for his first wife just like nothing will change the love he developed for isha also. She had accepted the reality that she had to share Arshad wholeheartedly.

She slowly walks the front door of the house while struggling with her Saree. Yes, she had worn a saree which Arshad bought for her. She was nervous because for the first time she was going to wear something without covering her head but then Arshad wanted to see her in a saree and she couldn't deny him.

Her feet halted as Arshad step in front of her out of nowhere. He almost froze on his place as his eyes fell on her. After taking Sofia out and leaving her with his family he came back inside to get Isha.

(Song play. Main agar kahu by Sonu nigam)

He ran his eyes up and down on her making her nervous even more. He felt his heart and body betraying him. Hands were itching to touch her, lips were trembling to kiss her. She looks breathtaking. Like a candy he wants to eat. Saree was always his weakness. He always wanted to see Sofia in a Saree but she despite it. She had worn it two to three times for him in the beginning of their marriage and that's it.

Arshad couldn't keep his hands to himself and end up touching her cheeks which cause her eyes to widen in shock. Without moving she ran her eyes around them and thanks to lord that everyone was already out of the house and they were standing in the doorway.

She began taking steps backwards. Her heart accelerates seeing his intense gaze. Her nervous act makes him excited. He steps forward with a small smirk on his face. Lips didn't say a word but still the intense conversation they were having from their eyes were visible. His were saying his intention while Isha's were begging him not to do anything for now.

He corners her putting a halt on her moving back game. Her back hit the walls. Arshad's body was almost touching her. Her gaze was downcast as a blush crept her already pinkish cheeks making it almost red. Her hair fall on her face. He softly touched her cheeks with one hand before brushing her hair away and lifted her face and capturing her lips. Her body stiffened. Eyes widen cause of his daring. They were in a house full of people around them. She places her hands on his chest pushing him slightly which made him agitate he held her hands and pinned her above her head. Isha began trembling with excitement and fear both at the same time. He kissed her, ravishing her lips. Isha refused to give in. She didn't kiss him back, at first he didn't care but then he craved for her innocent lips to scan with him and when she didn't do he moved back growling. "Why!?"

"A.....ap...chorein....log hai..." (Yo...you.. Leave..people are here)" she stammered with a red flushed face and shivering eyes. Her heart was beating wildly like it will burst out anytime. He breathed out before placing his forehead on hers.

"You're making me crazy" Arshad whispered. "You shouldn't be this beautiful and cute that I couldn't control myself. It's not fair" he whined which makes her smile grow up. Arshad moves back cupping her face and stares into her eyes. "I love you to no extent" he brushes her hair strands away from her beautiful face. "Now it's difficult to spend a minute away from you" he was looking lost in his daze. Her eyes filled up seeing his love.

"I love you too" she whispered with a bright smile. He kissed her forehead and wipe her spread lipstick with his thumbs.

"I don't know how will I stay away from you tonight?"

A smirk appears on her lips suddenly. Isha wrapped her hands around his neck.

"Then let's go away from here. Somewhere where no one else should be present other than us" Arshad's eyes grow wide hearing her bold words. He moves back to look at her as if searching for something.

"Okay let's go" holding her hand he began dragging her toward her room. Her eyes widened. She thought he would refuse or got confused and she would take this chance to flee away.

"Nahi..." She stopped. Arshad bites back his smile and turns to her with an innocent face.

"What? You said we should go somewhere else where no one should be there. And your room is perfect." He said with mischievousness. Isha being the innocent one pouted.

"I was joking" she mumbled with a pout at her failed attempt to trick him.

"Correction, you tried to trick me" He burst out laughing watching her cute pouted face.
"You're so cute" pinching her cheeks he said. "You wanted to trick me? But meri Jaan, I'm the master in this game and your just a beginner who needs to learn many things from her master." with a wink he teased her lifting his imaginary collar. She glared at him frowning.

"Your so bad" punching his chest isha ran out of the house leaving laughing Arshad behind her.

"My innocent cat" he mumbled shaking his head.

----------------

Asam's Nikah was done with so much happiness in the air that everyone present there couldn't stop their smile. Many praised isha, Amma Jaan asked her who bought her this Saree for her to which she replied Arshad. She can't say she bought it cause it was very costly. And like everyone knows that Arshad likes to charity isha didn't think that anyone would doubt him or her but like said she was too innocent. She didn't know that everyone knows Arshad was a fond of sarees. Something uncertain rose Amma Jaan heart and Sofia who was standing closely also felt uneasy.

Isha was not looking out of family in fact she was looking member of this house and giving everyone competition there even Sofia. Eventhough isha wore dresses bought by Amma jaan which was too good for the orphan girl or should say for a servant. But Saree? And this expensive? Given by namahram and a boss to the servant -not forget to mention a young girl- was not digestible. No matter how much he loves to charity he will not want to see other girl in something he loves to see on his wife.

•••••••••••••••

Amar began performing with his friends and Arshad couldn't hold himself and joined him dragging Asam too.

Banno
Ki mehndi kya kehna
Banno
Ka joda kya kehna
Banno
Lage hai phoolon ka gehna

Banno
Ki aankhen kajrari
Banno
Lage sabse pyaari
Banno
Pe jaaon main vaari vaari

Arshad step in front.

Ho ho.. o.. ho..

He began while stealing glance at isha who looks down blushing.

Banno ki saheli..
Resham ki dori
Chhup chhup ke sharmaaye
Dekhe chori chori (Repeat once)

Asam repeated the line starting at his bride. While Arshad went toward Sofia while starting at Isha.

Yeh maane ya na maane main toh ispe mar gaya
Yeh ladki hai Allah, hai hai re Allah
Yeh ladki hai Allah, hai hai re Allah

Sofia step down with the bride sabhiya and began singing.

Babul ki galiyaan..
Na chad ke jaana
Paagal deewana..
Isko samjhana (Repeat once)

Sabhiya repeated Asam held her hand pulling her closer.

Dekho ji dekho yeh to mere peeche pad gaya
Yeh ladka hai Allah, hai hai re Allah
Yeh ladka hai Allah, hai hai re Allah

Isha was smiling enjoying the song but not for long as Adil saw Arshad and isha stealing a glance at each other he went to isha asked her to came to the dance. She hesitates but then thinking him as her brother she place her hand and went to the dance floor. And the next line he sing going closer to Arshad with a smirk.

Lab kahe na kahe
Bolti hai nazar
Pyaar nahin chupta..
Yaar chhupaane se
(Pyaar nahin chupta..
Yaar chhupaane se)

Isha also took a part in the song and sing with blushing.

Aa..roop ghoonghat mein ho
Toh suhana lage
Baat nahin banti yaar bataane se

Arshad step closer to them.

Yeh dil ki baatein dil hi jaane ya jaane khuda.

Yeh ladki hai Allah, hai hai re Allah
Yeh ladka hai Allah, hai hai re Allah

He didn't realised when he went closer to her thanks to lord again that everyone joined the dance floor and it hide the both of them from most of the eyes. He held her hand and was about to pull But not for long as Sofia dragged him with her.

Mangne se kabhi
Haath milta nahin
Jodiyaan banti hai..
Pehle se sabki
(Jodiyaan banti hai..
Pehle se sabki)

Asam and his bride lead after that.

Ho..leke baaraat ghar
Tere aaonga main
Meri nahin yeh toh

Marzi hai rab ki
Arey ja re ja yun
J

hooti muthi baatein na bana
Yeh ladki hai Allah, hai hai re Allah
Yeh ladki hai Allah, hai hai re Allah

Banno ki saheli..
Resham ki dori
Chhup chhup ke sharmaaye
Dekhe chori chori
Babul ki galiyaan..
Na chad ke jaana
Paagal deewana..
Isko samjhana
Yeh maane ya na maane main toh ispe mar gaya

Arshad placed his hand on his heart and began singing with a dramatic face.

Yeh ladki..
Yeh ladki hai Allah, hai hai re Allah
Yeh ladka hai Allah, hai hai re Allah
Ye.. yeh ladki hai Allah, hai hai re Allah

Again his feet took him to to isha.

He forgets everything and dance with so much happiness which didn't unnoticed by his mother. Her eyes widened when isha let him touch her waist and everywhere and the smile they both had while gazing at each other tells their admiration for each other.

Amar stopped on his track as well when he too noticed the closeness of Arshad and isha. Arshad held isha's both hands before pulling her. They both were swinging with each other. Amar remembers how isha despises when he or his friends try to come closer or even talk to her. She never let any men come closer to her. She was a modest girl or he just thinks she was.

Sofia also stopped dancing as her partner Amar stopped on his track. She looks toward where he was staring but just then Adil come in front of them and pull isha away from Arshad. Sofia saw them but didn't take their dance as a threat. She ignores it and went out of the dance floor.

Arshad isha also came out of their world and went away from the floor I'm separated ways. Amma jaan shook her head getting rid of her negative thoughts.

---------------

She was passing around the room feeling anxious. Her heart was feeling some kind of fear. She didn't know why her words bother her this much but they did. For the first time, this type of accusation worries her.

"This isha girl is not that innocent like she portraits herself. Or else the maid of the house didn't wear expensive dresses like she usually wears. I've seen her wearing expensive dresses in all the functions of Asam's wedding. And today it crossed all limits. She looks like daughter or daughter in law of this family."

"What are you trying to say?" Sofia asked with knitted eyebrows. Zubaida tore her suspicious gaze away from the girl who was standing in the corner enjoying her cold drink with a beautiful smile.

"Just look at her. Her bright face. Full bloom smile. Her saree and jewellery. Just look at her APPEARANCE. She is not looking less beautiful than you...."

"Yes... Because Arshad gave her all this. You know he loves charity." Sofia said stopping her in the middle.

"Charity?" Zubaida smile mockingly shaking her head. "That dance was not charity. The way your husband stared at her all the time didn't unnoticed by anyone except you." Zubaida held her arm. "Wake up Sofia. Isha is the girl who could lure any man. You need to be careful. Before it's got too late."

She jerks Zubaida's hand. "You don't need to worry about me or him. He is not ANY MAN. He is my Arshad. I know he will never cheat on me. His heart and love only belong to his wife. And it's ME" Sofia answered her with so much confidence before walking away from there.

She didn't think about that conversation after that but now in the dark of the night some fears coming into her heart. She was continuously repeating to herself that she didn't need to concern about this useless conversation but something in her was screaming danger.

"Bhoom!!" She was in her thoughts when Arshad came inside and held her shoulder startling her.

"Ah... You scared me" she turns to him. He smiles at her.

"I'm glad" Arshad tease her with the same smile. Sofia stares at him trying to find any change in his smile and eyes but she found none. There were no changes. His eyes held the same affection that he had for her since their marriage.

"What are you staring at?" Arshad asked raising his eyebrows and wrapping his arms around Sofia.

"I have all the rights to stare at you. Do you have any problem?" she asked encircling her arms around his neck.

"No...I don't. You can stare all you want but before that, we need to freshen up."Arshad said tiredly pulling away. He was very tired and wanted to get into comfortable clothes.

"yeah... I'm also tired. And I've headache too" Sofia sighed rubbing her head.

"Go and get change. After that, I will massage your head and you will be relaxed in no time" he said pushing her to the bathroom.

And like he said after they both got ready for the bed he apply balm on her forehead and massage her till she got relaxed.

Sofia sleep with a smile and finally her heart got peaceful. Her Arshad was still hers. He didn't change. He loves her. And only her.

But little did she knew he loves her but not only her.

-----------------

How was it?

I loved writing the song and dance of all the members. I hope you guys enjoy it too

So, in this chapter you guys understood that Arshad's love for Sofia was still there. He loves isha and somewhere he knew he loves her more but the love he has for Sofia was still the same as before. When he said he loves his both wives then he wasn't lying. Some Muslim man has two wives and only few of them can love and treated their wives equally. Yes, love. Man can love both of his wives and yes it is natural that he could feels more love for his one wife.

I starting writing this story after completing my research. It's not only base on the Internet but real life too. In my hometown many has two wives even my aunt's husband have two wives and both of them are happy on their places.

No, I'm not supporting. I can never. I'm married and I can never imagine sharing my husband but some of the women has this fate and they accepted it. I'm just writing which happen in our society but we new generation refuse to accept this fact.
