67. UNDYING ROMANCE

“Qubool hai”

“Qubool hai”

“Qubool hai”

Tears rolled down my cheeks as I heard him saying in soft but firm tone… words more than just words, feelings far more than just feelings…. His words showed how big and deep his regret was for what he did 6 years back. I wiped the tears away…there was no place for them in my life any more as I had him now. I had Hussain now, who was the reason of my smile… my happiness… my life.

“Hussain Asif Wald Muhammad Asif se, Haq Meher 10 lakh sikka e rajiya waqat… kia ap ko ye nikah qubool hai?” he asked bending a little towards me and I felt Mama’s grip on my hand went a little tighter and I gulped down.

“Qubool hai”

I don’t know about everyone but I was sure his gaze was fixed upon me… through that sleek chiffon fabric he must be looking at me, must be listening my heartbeats… must be feeling what I was feeling.

“Qubool hai”

Just two words…. Containing the whole of my life, his life. I could feel the depth the intensity of them once I spoke them… my heart was trembling but words solemn and firm. I knew what I was doing… I was agreeing on giving myself to him… and I knew deep down that with this I was going to become the world’s happiest person… inn shaa Allah!

“Qubool hai”

I spoke looking down, containing my self and Rohail who was holding the papers in his hands slowly and carefully placed them in my lap… and pointed towards a few places where I had to sign.  Mama let my hand go so that I could sign….

Suddenly Taya ji and Shehroz came in my mind that whole scene went through my mind like a movie scene and for a moment I shivered closing my eyes tight….

“Mannat beta!” mama lightly shook my shoulder and I opened my eyes, looking down I gave my signatures.

Baba!... Baba I wish you were here today, I so wish you were standing here by my side, holding my hand as you always used to do in every thick and thin. My heart wept at his thought… at that void inside my heart which was there ever since Baba left me.

Slowly I felt weight over my head… I felt somebody’s hand soft but strong anf firm like a shadow… like a shelter and I looked a bit up, finding him smiling at me softly. Rohail had a tear in his eye and my heart melted.

“Mubarak ho Mannat!” Rohail spoke softly and I smiled.

“Buhat Mubarak ho”

“Mubarak ho’

I heard people congratulating… voices blurred my senses a little, I looked up the sleek fabric that was dividing men from women was now removed and I could clearly look at him. For  a moment I just forgot to blink… forgot to breath as I saw him looking at me intently, his gaze intense and I looked down slowly trying to even my breath inside my cage.

“Buhat Mubarak ho beta” Mama hugged me making me jump out of my thoughts and I hugged back… slowly every one came and wished me and Hussain who was now standing with Waqas, Shehry and Atif.

He was looking amazing in that sherwani… I must appreciate Rida for her hardwork.

“Buhat Mubarak ho beta!” Asif uncle came near me, putting his hand above my head and I looked down, a tear formed its place in my eye.

“Allah tum dono ko dheron khushiyan de… ek doosra ka pur sukoon sath naseeb karey, Ameen” he said softly and a tear escaped my eye… this is what Baba must have saying at the moment…. My heart ached.

“And never think that you have lost your father Mannat beta!” he added and I looked up at his face, I could feel Mama was standing there with tears in her eyes too…. “you are my daughter now, never consider yourself as fatherless till am alive” he said and smiled lightly at the end, I slowly hugged him and he hugged back patting my head assuringly.

“Thanks ….Baba!” I pulled back and he smiled warmly as I called him Baba… it felt so good.

Asif Sahab! Bhai Mubarak ho buhat” I heard Rida’s father saying and he turned to look at him, he left the stage smiling.

My gaze went back upon Hussain who was standing with the boys… laughing over something. I was literally gawking at him when suddenly his gaze shifted on me and I couldn’t look away… he smiled and slowly took a step towards me when Rohail held his arm and hugged him… his face towards me and I could read that little annoyance on his face as he smiled helplessly towards me and I smiled back.

“hey! Congratulations girl’ Suddenly Rida threw her arms around me making me stumble back… “you cant even imagine how happy I am today Mannat. ufff! Yar khush ker diya tum donon ne qasam se” She said, her face shinning bright and I chuckled.

“Are you sure you are happy because of us… or is there something else, I just saw Baktawar uncle taling to Waqas’s father… kia bat hai?” I winked at her and she giggled, slapping my arm lightly.

“well, wo bhi hea…” she said sweetly… “but right now its you and Hussain actually” she added and I smiled.

“just look at him man! He looks hot” She looked at him with her eyes wide open and I slapped her arm tight.

“Shut up!....dont call him hot” I said making a face and she rolled her eyes.

“han han! I know only you can call him and feel him as Hot” she said dancing her hands and I gasped at her loud tone…eyeing her to hush up and she chuckled.

“Q yar! Ub to majazi Khuda hai tumhara… ub kesa shermana?” she elbabowed me and I smiled, looking at the front I saw him coming towards me, my breath went uneven as a strange kind of sensation engulfed me completely.

“Mubarak ho jija ji” Rida got up shaking hands with him and he smiled, bowing his head a little down.

“Buhat shukriya Saali sahiba!” Hussain said smiling and I just looked at his face admiring every feature.

“wesey should I congratulate you in advance yaaa….” He trailed off looking at Rida who blushed a little.

“Umm I guess you should wait a little… I need that proper wali official mubarakbaad” Rida said chirping and Hussain laughed nodding his head while I chuckled at her cute expressions.

“Beta!” I heard aunty coming near me and Hussain turned around.

“Buhat Buhat Mubarak ho” She hugged me as I got up. I guess she already wished him…. I hugged her back, Hussain was looking at my face a cute smile spread across and I smiled back.

He put his hand over his heart and acted as if he was about to faint and I chuckled lightly at Aunty’s shoulder.

“Mom! Mein bhi hoon” Hussain said making a face and Aunty smiled, she opened her arm wide asking him to join us and he hurriedly bent down hugging us both. His arm touched my back giving me a thousand wild butterflies in my tummy and I shut my eyes tight.

“Sada khush raho! Allah her buri nazer se mehfooz rakhe merey bachon ko” Aunty said and I opened my eyes finding him looking at my face from Aunty’s shoulder and I just got lost in to his stare.

Aunty slowly pulled back and I looked down as she touched our cheeks looking at us with the world’s best look… the motherly affection.

“Arey yar! Koi humein bhi moka de dulhan rani se milne ka” I heard Atif’s wife… Sara saying and Aunty turned around.. she smiled softly giving her way and Sara came forward Hugging me.

“Congratulations bhabi! Stay smiling both of you… Always” she said sweetly and I smiled back.

“Atif!” she called Atif who was holding Amna in his hands and he came near us… “laiye Amna ko dejiye zara’ she said and he handed her the little angel. She was definitely too cute.

“Lo janab!...” she handed Amna in my lap and I carried her carefully looking at her innocent pretty face… “Allah kare aesey he piyare piyare buhat sare bache hon tum dono ke” Minahil said and I looked up at her, she winked at me looking at my embarrassed expressions.

“Aaameeen” I heard Hussain saying it a loud and ever body laughed…. While I just kept on looking at Amna, unable to look up any more.

“Mannat Chachiii” Aayan came running on the stage and hugged me from my waist making me smile wide, Hussain took Amna from my arms and I looked down at Aayan.

“Mannat chachii! You are gonna live with us now, right?” he asked and I nodded smiling, his smile was so like Shehry… bright and pure like a kid.

“And Rida Chachi bhi na?” he asked innocently and I looked up at Rida who was standing with her mouth half open and eyes popping out.

“Who told you this? hero” She asked narrowing her eyes.

“Dad!... Dad told me” He replied innocently and Rida sighed shaking her head, despite of looking flushed.

“Acha? Or kia bataya terey Dad ne?” Waqas stepped on the stage, scooted down to Ayan’s level and asked raising his eyebrow.

“that you gonna marry Chachi then she will live with us and then…. Then you will have babies and then I will be able to freak them out” Aayan stick his tongue out while we all laughed aloud. Waqas looked up at Rida who was glaring at Shehry with her blushed cheeks.

“Saley! Ye sikhata hea bachey ko” Hussain smacked Shehry’s head… who was standing near him and Shehry smiled cheekily.

“And he told me about you and Mannat chachi as well” Aayan stated cutely and my eyes went wide… Shehry hurriedly put his hand on Aayan’s mouth grabbing him by his shoulder and every body laughed.

“oye! Chup ker ja…. chup ker ja, q pitwaane per tula hea sab se apne baap ko.”  He whispered forcefully making me chuckle.

“bacho! Dinner is ready… come on” Asif uncle announced and we looked ahead of us.. the tables on one corner were now set up with the buffet.

“Mom! I wanna have that chocolate fountain” Aayan hurried towards Minahil, pointing towards the desert corner excitedly and Minahil nodded her head holding his hand.

“Come on guys! Lets stuff your self… mi hell tired and hungry” Minahil said making a cute face.

“You are always hungry, log maa baap per jatey hen… tum shoher per chali gai ho. Paitooooo!” Waqas rolled his eyes and Minahil slapped his arm.

“Hussain! lao give her to me” Sara stepped towards Hussain and asked for Amna, he handed her carefully in Sara’s lap… “and you make her eat something, she didn’t have anything since morning” she added pointing towards me and Hussain narrowed his eyes,looking at me while I just smiled trying to suppress an alien kind of nervousness building up inside me.

All of them stepped down the stage and headed towards the food while we stayed there, standing awkwardly…. Neither of us saying anything but still it was strange how we could hear whatever our hearts were saying and feelings…. Maybe those were the vibes between us that connected our hearts… our souls.

“Hey! You two… laila majnoo!” Shehry snapped his fingers in between our faces and I looked at him at once, realizing I was gawking at his face once again… so was he. … ‘kuch khao ge ya…. Aankhon he aankhon mein bhook nipta li?” he asked mischevously  and I smiled feeling flushed while Hussain put his arm around Shehry’s neck.

“Tu ek kam kun nai kerta bhai!... ja or ja ker Minahil Bhabi ki help ker” he said in a serious tone and Shehry rolled his eyes…. “tab tak mein bhook nipta loon” he added and I gasped at what he just said… idiot! Ye dono bhaiyon mein bhi kuch rok tok nai… tobah! I felt heat emitting my face.

“Wesey to suggestion teri intiha ki koi third class thi… but chal, chala jata hoon only for Mannat” Shehry looked at me and I smiled. He turned to leave when Hussain tried to give him a kick in his bum, he ran down the stage making me giggle.

HUSSAIN’S POV

They left the stage leaving us there… I turned and looked at her, she was looking down at her hands playing with her ring absent mindedly. Slowly I stepped towards her. She looked breathtakingly beautiful in that white dress… simple, elegant and the prettiest girl even… who has become mine tonight. My heart felt so good.

“Mannat!’ I called her and she looked up into my eyes.

“Mubarak ho” I whispered and she smiled.

“tumhen bhi” she whispered back softly. We just got lost into each others eyes when slowly music changed and a soft tune started playing….

“you look beautiful…. MaashaAllah” I whispered bending a little towards her face and she looked up at me, smiling… blushing.

“so you are… handsome as ever” She said looking into my eyes and I smiled making a kissy face at her when she hurriedly moved her face backwards and I chuckled.

“Come on! Nobody is here” I said carelessly and she kept on looking at me with her eyes wide open. I bent a little more and she hurriedly stopped me with her palms over my chest.

“Hussain!... sab dekh rae hen” She said into a forceful whisper and I sighed deep.

“Hayeee! Chalo phir bhag chalen yahan se” I winked at her and she chuckled, shaking her head.

“theek… chalo!” She looked at me and said in a whisper as if sharing a secret and I suddenly scooped down to carry her up when she backed off at once, I looked up at her… she was laughing.

“Hold your horses hero!” she stopped laughing and I stood straight, rolling my eyes.

“bedard! Zalim! Sangdil!......Patharr dil log!huhn!” I said making a face and she started laughing again, keeping her hand over her mouth and I looked at her …. She looked beautiful, mesmerizing… as carefree as she used to be years back. I just got lost into her charisma…

She kept on laughing when I suddenly snaked my arm around her waist and pulled her in…. her laugh stopped and smile faded into to a stunned look with her mouth half open and her eyes piercing into mine. I raised my hand and touched her lips… they trembled at once.

“your presence makes me forget about the world Mannat!” I whispered looking at her lips and she gulped down, her hands were rested over my arms… “why is it so powerfull? Q bhool jata hoon mein khud ko… duniya ko jab pass hoti ho tum?” I looked up into her eyes and she blinked… nervously.

“why is it always so difficult to stop myself around you? you make it so hard…. To stay even an inch away from you. don’t stop me…..” Mannat stood there in my arms like frozen… lost into my eyes, so was I.

“Hussain! please stop it or else… I … I

“you? you what?” She left her sentence in the middle, she looked flushed…. Her breath heavy and uneven.

“I will start crying” she added making me raise my eyebrow….and I laughed taking a step back, she kept on looking at me like that… weirdly.

“Why are you laughing? Its not funny Hussain! you were freaking me out” she said, complaining and I stopped laughing slowly.

“Mannat! you know what… you should write a book “100 ways of spoiling Romantic moments” I said making quotation marks in the air and she rolled her eyes, blushing a little.

“her jaga romance k liye nai hoti Mr Hussain Asif!” she said trying to act smart and I looked at her intently, her smile slowly faded looking back at me as I took a step towards her.

“And I promise! Jo jaga romance ki hogi whan… I wont let you spoil anything, Mrs Hussain Asif!” I said seriously, and she turned crimson… looking down she bit her lower lip.

 I just kept on staring her face… it felt like an eternity that we stood there. when I started needing this urge to move into a bit more populated area… standing here alone with her was making things difficult for me.

“kuch khao gi?” I asked breaking the weird silence and she shook her head instantly.

“q? bhook piyas kun urri hui hea janab ki?” I asked holding her hand in mine, she was cold…

“hey! Why are you so cold?.... you okay?” I touched her forehead and she smiled, shaking her head, I could sense a little nervousness in her smile.

“am fine… yun hi” she said slowly…. “you go have something” she said looking at me and for a moment I just stared her face.

“Yup! Am hungry man!” I said and grabbing her hand I pulled her down the stage.

“hey! Where?” she asked stopping me and I looked at her.

“to our bedroom” I casually stated and her eyes went out of there sockets made her look even cuter and I chuckled.

“Relax!” I stepped back towards her and touched her jawline…. She just looked into my eyes…. “eat something Mannat! please subha se kuch nai khaya tum ne” I added and she looked down.

“Am not hungry Hussain!” she said making a face and I rolled my eyes.

“But you need to eat….” I said forcefully and then bent down to her ear… “You need energy tonight baby!” my lips brushed her ear as I spoke and felt she shivered a little, looking at my face at once and I winked making her flush all at once.

“Hussain!” she gasped a little and I chuckled…. “shut up!”

“now come and lets eat… otherwise or bhi aesi buhat si baten hen, yaheen shuroo ker doon ga” I pointed my finger at her trying to warn her and she shook her head smiling.

“I can expect anything from you. Hussain!” She said smiling and I smiled back, intertwining my fingers with hers I brought out hands over my heart as walked towards the tables.

WAQAS’S POV

“So, Mom Dad are hell excited… I mean seriously? This month? Isn’t it too quick?” she said looking at my face, her expressions cute as ever and I smiled.

“I don’t think so” I sighed deep, slowly I held her hand in mine and she looked down at as I intertwine my fingers with hers slowly… “I think those 6 years were enough for me, I guess I wont be able to linger on any more” I said almost into a whisper and she remained quiet.

“for me… even these two weeks are hell of a wait Rida! you cant imagine how desperate I am to make you mine” I looked down at our hands, I could feel her gaze was fixed on my face.

“Since when Waqas Riaza has become desperate for a girl?” she asked mischevously and I looked up at her face…. “I mean, you were like that guy who always runs away from them…. and now marriage?” she added and I smiled lightly.

“its your fault Madam!... I would be the same even today, only if you didn’t call me that day for inviting us on Mannat’s birthday” I said and she smiled looming down.

“I don’t know what happened that day Rida! it was like… like magic. You were like magic to me.” I said and she kept quiet, just looking at our hands as I made circles over her skin with my thumb.

“sometimes… we just go mad on our fate, on what happens to us.. without knowing the ultimate results.” She spoke softly, I could sense remorse in her tone… “I was so lost after.. after he left me, have never thought that this day would ever come in my life” she added and my grip on her hand went a little tighter.

“Thanks!” she whispered, still looking down and I let go of her hand…. Cupping her face in my palms I made her look up. My heart skipped a beat when I saw tears there.

“Rida! please… there should be no place of them in our lives now” tears rolled down and I wiped them away with my thumbs…. “I want to make you happy.. with me for the rest of my life. Just leave the past at the back and come with me… in my life” I peeked in her eyes and she slowly smiled, making me feel better.

“I love you Waqas!’ She looked into my eyes and I smiled warmly at her.

“I love you more girl!” I said and pulled her into me, she wrapped her arms around my waist and rested her head over my chest.

“I will never leave you alone Rida! nobody can let go of his most expensive possession” I whispered as I felt she was sobbing over my chest, I held her even tighter assuring her my presence in her life… in her every thick and thin.

“I will never let you do that… I will.. I will kill you agar aesa kuch kiya to” She said forcefully, like a child and I chuckled. She fisted my shirt in her hands and I stroked her head softly.. feeling the silkiness of her hair.

“Ahhh man! I am so in love with this girl” I sighed deep as I said almost to myself and felt her giggled a little bringing a warm smile across my face.

MANNAT’S POV

The only thing I could comprehend at the moment was that intoxication of that smell… the smell of those rose petals that hugged me tight making me close my eyes sinking into the fragrance. That huge king size bed was covered with it all over. Slowly I raised my hand from above my knee and picked up a petal in my hand…. It was cold but soft.

My life was changed the moment Hussain stepped into it… but tonight that feeling was so evident. The feeling that I was his and he was mine… I smiled looking at the petal in my hand when I heard a sound and my smile faded slowly. I looked up and saw the door was opening. I looked down, stretching my hand back over my knees, bent in my tummy.

The door closed back… slowly and I heard that click of the door lock, my heart beat quickened as I fisted my duppatta in my hands the petal was still in my fist. For a few moments that felt like a whole eternity I didn’t feel any movement… I dared to look up slowly, he was standing there at a bit distance I could see him crossing his arms on his torso…. I felt him looking at me intently through that sleek off white canopy over the bed.

Slowly he paced towards the bed and I gulped down as he pushed a side the canopy a little and sat down next to me. I felt he had changed his sherwani… I could see that jeans though my eyes were lowered.

“Mannat!” he whispered softly, I looked up at his face slowly he was staring into my eyes.

“ji” I whispered back, suddenly a strange feeling oozed up in me… maybe nervousness maybe shyness.

 Hussain raised his hand and held mine in his firm grip. He looked down at my hand and his fingers started playing with me ring…I shivered lightly.

“tum….” he looked up at my face… “tum nervous ho rai ho?” he asked narrowing his eyes as if it was the lamest thing to feel right now, of corse Hussain! am nervous… such an idiot you are. I rolled my eyes mentally.

“Mein bhi” he slowly whispered making me frown a little… Hussain Asif! king of romance is getting nervous on his wedding night? Like seriously!?

“what?” he raised his eyebrow at me as if reading my mind and I smiled slowly shaking my head…. “you think men cant be nervous on their wedding nights?” he added, his thumb was making circles at the back of my hand making me feel all butterflyish inside.

“Not sure about all of them but…. You…” I let my sentence in the middle as he chuckled.

“okay tell me what do you want tonight?” he got all serious at once looking at me and I looked back at his face in shock… I mean what does he mean by that even?

“oye hoye! Dirty mind” he smacked my head lightly reading my thoughts and I gasped… feeling flushed in embarrassment… “ I meant what do want to have as a wedding night gift girl” he added in explanation and I smiled.

“Nothing….” I said looking at our hands”  I have you, I don’t want anything else than you, Hussain!” I added and before I could get any thing he bent forward, I looked up at him and got back at once gasping as his nose brushed mine.

His eyes were staring deep into mine and a smirk was playing on his lips… my breath chocked up in my throat as I tried to gulp down looking at him questioningly.

“What happened? You wanted me…. so am here, all yours. Jo kerna hea ker lo.. rokoon ga nai” he whispered winking at me and my heart just started throbbing inside.

We stayed there for a while… with my palms at my back, on the bed trying to stop myself from falling back completely while he kept on hovering over me making it impossibly hard for me to breath.

My eyes searched his deep brown oceans… getting darker and darker with every passing moment, slowly he raised his hand and bringing it at the back of my head he pulled my duppatta down. His fingers touched the length of my hair then my back as he pulled it down and I tried hard to breath properly.

Hussain softly kissed my forehead as he touched the jhoomer I was wearing and slide it down letting it fall on the bed near me, I let a breath out as his lips went down towards my ear…. He took out my earrings one by one making me squirm a little and brought it near my face. My gaze shifted to that and he at once let it fall from his hand. His eyes was fixed on my face… intense, deep and dark.

“Mannat!” he whispered touching his nose with mine and I shut my eyes….. “am not dreaming, right?” he asked and I opened my eyes.

“No… you are not Hussain!” I said and he searched my face, his expressions solemn.

“we are not dreaming… I am tired of dreaming Hussain! I want no more dreams and I know I wont be having much now as I have the reality in my life” I touched his face and he closed his eyes as if sinking in my touch. 

He opened his eyes and I saw a cute happy kind of smile playing on his lips… he pulled back and i could finally sit straight… slowly he moved a little forward and opening the side drawer he took out something.

He hide something at his back making me frown a little while held a small square box in his hand, slowly he looked at me then looked down to the box. opening it up he took out a pair of bangles and shut the box back.

He extended his hand and I placed mine in his… I just kept on looking at the beauty of those bangles… admiring the delicacy. They were beautiful, silver with pink and mauve gems along with some stones that shinned like the morning rays.

“you are looking more like a jewellery smuggler…..” he made a weird face looking at my hands which were crowded already with the bangles and I chuckled.

“May I?” he asked looking at me, holding my hand and I smiled nodding my head.

Hussain slowly and very carefully started removing those bangles from my wrists and I kept on looking at his expressions… cute and full of care. Every now and then he looked up at my face to make sure he wasn’t hurting me and I smiled at him assuringly.

Hussain could never hurt me…..

 He removed all of them and looked at my hinna covered hands for a while… a smile appeared on his face as he made me wear those bangles one in each hand.

“They are beautiful Hussain!” I admired looking down at my wrists.

“yeah! they are looking awesome now” he gave emphasis on NOW and I smiled.

“but I don’t have anything to give you” I said looking at his face and he narrowed his eyes.

“Aww that’s bad” he made a face and I tried to hide my grin…. “wesey! Gareeb banda hoon mein to, saada sa… puppy se bhi kam chala loon ga” he said cheekily and I chuckled.

“well, I guess there is something… something rather speciall” Slowly he took out something from his back and I looked at his hand… the next moment my eyes went wide in surprise.

“Hussain!” he smiled nodding his head and held the watch towards me.

“you still… you still have it?” I asked in utmost surprise… that Rolex man! God! He still had that. Suddenly I felt so nostalgic.

“yeah! but never wore it…just got it serviced a couple of days back” he looked down at the watch… “ you wanted to make me wear it yourself, right?” he said and I smiled…. “so… here it is, pehna do” I took the watch from his hand and looked up at his smiling face. I just wanted to hug him tight… but right now had to fulfil my such a dear and old wish. I was literally jumping inside.

“there you go…..” I made him wear the watch and he looked at that smiling warmly.

“it looks such an old version of Rolex Hussain!” I said and he chuckled lightly.

“Yeah! but I love it…” he said and I smiled back.

“kia dekh rahe ho?” I asked as he kept on looking into my eyes, saying nothing.

“come on!” he held my hand and pulled me a little, getting up from the bed. I didn’t ask anything and got up… my duppatta left there on the bed as he removed the canopy and we came in the middle of the room.

Hussain turned and looked at me, he was still holding my hand and looking deep into my eyes, I smiled slowly.

“I love looking at myself through your eyes Mannat!” he whispered  still looking deep in my eyes…. “I don’t know why, I found myself so much better through them” he added and I raised my hand slowly.

“every time I look into your eyes… I fall in love with you once again and I want to fall in love with you… over and over again Mannat!” he said and my fingers lingered down to his lips… soft and warm.

 “And I fall into this trap of yours…when you look at me Hussain!” he kissed the tips of my fingers and I smiled… “ And I love falling in love with you. I want to fall for you with every passing minute… with every passing breath of mine” I whispered my gaze was fixed on his lips.

Hussain snaked his other arm around my back and pulled me into him with a jerk… I let a sharp breath out as our faces came no more than an inch apart.

“Dance with me” he whispered and I smiled, my hand was placed on his shoulder the other in his grip.

“No music” I whispered and he narrowed his eyes thinking, then to my surprise he spun me suddenly and my hair flew in the air brushing his face as I came clashing with his toned chest, he wrapped his arms around my waist.

His lips close to my ear and I closed my eyes…. resting my head back over his shoulder.

Ek din Aap yun hum ko mil jaen ge

He sang softly making my ear burn with his warm breath and I smiled

Ek din ap yun hum ko mil jaen ge

Phool he phool rahon mein khil jaen ge

Mein ne socha na tha….

He spun me round and pulled me back to him…

Ek din zindagi itni ho gi haseen

Jhoomey ga aasman

Gaye gi ye zameen

Mein ne socha na tha….

We looked into each other’s eyes as he sang beautifully, he held my hand in his and we started moving a little… our feet in sync so were our heartbeats.

I brought the other hand to his face and touched his cheek… his eyes boring into mine giving me fireworks inside.

Dil ki daali pe kaliyan si khilne lageen

Jab nigahen nigahon se milne lageen

I sang softly and he smiled pulling me more into him….

Ek din is tarah hosh kho jaen ge

Paas aaye to madhosh ho jaen ge

Mein ne socha na tha!!!

He bent down and brushed his nose with mine whispering the lyrics and I giggled a little… he pulled back holding my hand in his and looked at me, his eyes fixed on my lips as he bent down again making me feel extremely shy and nervous once again. I took a step back as his lips almost touched mine and turned around… fisting my shirt in my hand ….over my heart trying to calm it down. idiot heart! Throbbing like wanted to come out of its cage

I moved to the balcony, knowing his gaze was still on me….  the curtains flew as the wind blew soft and cold.

Suddenly I felt warmth near me and I closed my eyes… his hands touched my arms and slide down slowly making me tremble a little, his breath fanning my neck my hair….

Jagmagati hui jaagti rat hea

Rat hai ya sitaron ki baraat hea

He sang over my shoulder as he rest his chin over there holding my hands.

Ek din dil ki rahon mein apne liye

Jal uthen ge muhabbat k itne diye

Mein ne socha na tha!!

I sang and turned around looking at his face, I felt my eyes were going moistened all at once and he narrowed his eyes a little…

Mein ne socha na tha!!

I ended almost into a whisper and looked at his face… Hussain smiled warmly at me, assuring me he was there… assuring me he was mine forever!

“I cant believe it Hussain!” I whispered and felt a tear coming out of my eye.

“ I will make you believe in it” He whispered back, staring my face and I felt his eyes going darker and darker, peaking deep into my soul and I gulped down the lump in my throat getting his intentions.

He scooped down slowly looking at me and carried me up in his arms, I wrapped my arms around his neck and smiled at him… he didn’t smile back just kept on looking deep into my eyes.

He brought me to the bed, making the canopy aside with his leg he placed me down carefully and sat near me with his knees placed on the bed… I placed my hands over my tummy lying down.

 I just looked at his face all serious… intense. My breath was calm…it was strange how my heart was at peace now, that uncomfortable… nervousness was gone away. Slowly I extended my hand towards him and he held it softly but firmly, I held his hand tight and got up a little to his face level.

I gulped down as my eyes searched his face… his expressions and slowly touched his cheeks with my hands. My hands cupped his face as I moved ahead and my nose brushed his, his breath fanned my lips but he was still… not moving at all. I looked up into his eyes once again he was staring at my lips.

“Mannat!” he whispered…. “kiss me” he added, his voice deep and thick, my heart started beating fast once again.

My gaze rested upon his lips and bent my head a little left… I closed my eyes slowly as my lips touched his lower lip and I kissed him….I felt fire works inside me, a thousand wild butterflies doing stunts in the pit of my tummy. he didn’t move… his hands still at his sides didn’t even try to kiss me back. Slowly I pulled back and looked at his face his eyes were closed, luckily I could hide my blush.

He opened his eyes slowly and looked at me…. “what was that begum?” he asked, raising his eyebrow and I narrowed my eyes.

“was this a….. kiss?” he asked narrowing his eyes and I felt flushed at once.

“yeah! It… it was” I tried to act normal, he kept on looking at my face stupidly then chuckled making me go insane inside.

“It looks you need expertise” he said very seriously and I slapped his arm.

“seriously! you need to have a solid wala kiss course begum” he winked at me and I felt heat bursting out of my face all at once.

“and I am a very strict teacher” he said and I felt he was up to something… something extremely fishy as a smirk played on his lips and I tried to get back a little and in that I was about to fall back when he hurriedly snaked his arm under my back. I fisted his shirt in my hands and he slowly placed me down on the bed.

“Hussain!... “I tried to stop him as he bent down over me…. “I… let me change at least” I tried to protest but he was already hovering over me. He buried his face in my neck… his nose tickled my skin.

“no, I love you in this dress” he mumbled in my neck, his lips burning my skin.

“But I want to take it off Hus….

He suddenly pulled back and looked at my face… his expressions weird and I suddenly realize what I just said.

“seriously? well. I don’t have any issue…in fact, I can be a great help” he said, smirking down at me and I just went speechless for a while.

“no.. umm I .. I mean… ch! Wo matlab nai tha mera” I hurriedly tried to make it clear and he chuckled.

“per mera to tha” he bent down a little looking at my lips and whispered, making me gulped down.

His nose brushed mine and I shut my eyes tight… his breath was warm over my skin… it got warmer and warmer as lips came close and almost touched mine when I let a sharp breath out…as his hand which was under me, was going upwards over my back. His fingers touched the back of neck and he held the zip of my dress in between his fingers.

“hus.. Hussain!” his fingers slowly started sliding down my zip when I stopped him, his fingers halted in the middle and his eyes searched my face.

“li.. Lights” I uttered and he narrowed his eyes… though it was only the lamp light but even it was seeming too much to me.

“But I want to look at you” he whispered and I gulped down.

“Then sit over there… and just look at me the whole night” giving emphasis on the word JUST I pointed towards the far edge of the bed with my eyes and he laughed shaking his head a little.

“that is so unfair” he said and I bit my inner lip trying to hide my grin. He moved a little forward taking out his hand from under my back and tapped over the base of the table lamp once.. the light went dim, he tapped it again it got even dimmer and he came back to me.

“happy?” he asked, I could see him smiling and I wrapped my arms around his neck… smiling back.

“never happier before” I whispered looking into his eyes…

“let me make you happiest then” he whispered deeply and before I could respond his lips touched mine softly…. Making me forget myself which I had already given to him…. Surrendered in front of his love, his madness.

SHEHRY’S POV

“yeah! that will be cool….. they will love it Shehry!” Minahil said smiling approving to my idea and I smiled warmly, jerking my collar up.

“Bus bus! Ub ziada na itra” Waqas smacked my head and they chuckled.

“Sley! Accept the reality… I am the wisest among all of you” I said forcefully and Waqas rolled his eyes….. “terey maghaz mein bhoosey k siwa ek he kam ki cheez hea” I said and he looked at me questioningly…. Or wo hea

“Rida!” I was about to finish my sentence when Rida spoke up and Waqas looked at her at once.

“Lo ker lo gal!...aenu vekho!  khotey di khotiii” I rolled my eyes and Rida stick her tounge out at me.

“I wonder what that laila majnoo must be doing right now” Atif said, like deep in thoughts and we all kind of looked at him together

“kun Saley! Tu apna time bhool gaya? kia kya tha… woi ker rae hon ge”I smacked Atif’s head and Sara looked flushed all at once…

“oye hoye! Yadeinnnn….” Minahil elbowed her and she smiled hiding her blush… “bachi getting nostalgic han!” Rida added mischevously.

“Sharam ker lo… haya ker lo” Atif said forcefully.

“leh! Apey he bat cherri tu ne… sada ki dosh iss de vich?” I said rolling my eeys and Atif shook his head.

“Man I so wanted to do some hanky panky with Hussain tonight… Minahil! tum ne theek nai kia humein rok ker” Waqas made a face at her and she shook her head disapprovingly.

“guys! I remember our time….” Minahil said pointing towards herself and Atif chuckled cheekily…. “ufff! You people were just too much” she added.

“yar! Wesey maza aa gaya tha us din to” Atif gave a high five to Waqas and Shehry threw his pillow at him.

“us ton bad je dolly aunty de chitter bhi yaad ker lo zara” I said reminding them how I kicked their asses and they laughed.

“Oyeee! Na yad kara yaar” Waqas laughed and I couldn’t help smiling, remembering thoes moments.

“I wish time could stop” Rida said seriously.

“I mean… I want all this to be like this forever” she added and Waqas slowly held her hand in his, looking at her with a smile.

“this will remain like this Rida!” he assured her.

“yeah! I mean… all of you, all of us. This craziness this love and pagalpan” Rida smiled widely… “I just so love this all, guys! Promise me… you people are going to stay like this FOREVER!” she said firmly looking at us and we smiled, I put my hand on her head and patted it firmly.

“don’t worry kurriye!.. we will, inn shaa Allah!” I said and all of them mouthed back inn shaa Allah.

“I so crave for that day… when our kids will be grown ups and will become new dhoombros… like the same crazy and full of life stuff in them” Minahil said, her eyes twinkling with the hopes of bright future and I smiled looking at her.

I looked down, Aayan’s head was in my lap and he was sleeping peacefully… I moved my fingers in his hair and a smile spread across my face.

“ufff Allah! matlab ek naya Shehry…? matlab ek or?” Atif said popping his eyes wide and I chuckled this time.

“ek ko he berdasht ker len kafi hai” Waqas said jokingly.

“oye khaberdar! Don’t say a word against him” Minahil pointed her finger at him….. “he is the best” she added and rested her head over my shoulder.

“yeh cheez! Cheeeti hea meri…aam bat nai. Court mein baron baron k chakey chura deti hea” I flaunted and Minahil giggled.

“yeah yeah! we know” Waqas said nodding his head.

“guys I guess we should sleep now…..” Rida got up from from the couch placed near our bed.

“yeah! am sleepy too” Waqas stretched his arms wide .

“oye! kia bat hea? Something fishy han! Dono ki timings bari match ker rai hea….” I eyed them both and Rida chuckled, blushing a bit. 

“yeah! going on a date” Waqas said rolling his eyes and Rida looked at him at once.

“seriously? but am not even ready Waqas…..” Rida said popping her eyes out and Waqas stood there dumb founded…. Suddenly we all burst up laughing and Rida flushed at once.

“umm I meant.. mentally ready nai hoon” she tried to correct herself.

“bus bus Rida! hum samajh gaye” Sara patted her back and she smiled blushing.

They all headed out of our room laughing and I shook my head… Saley! Kabhi nai badlen ge ye sab.

 I carried Aayan up in my arms… so that I could make him sleep in his bed comfortably.

“Shehry! come back soon” Minahil said whining a little, as I was about to step out of my room and I  smiled.

“Don’t worry begum! Yun gaya … or yun aya” I looked back at her, she blew a kiss towards me.

“Hayee! Begum… don’t make me drop him right here” I warned her and she chuckled shaking her head.

I went out and headed to the room he was staying, I placed him in his bed and draped the quilt over him. Kissing his forehead I turned the lights off and stepped back to my room.

HUSSAIN’S POV

I stretched my arms wide… and felt sudden cold over my body. The warmth was gone… I was feeling cold, my arm moved to my right.. I felt emptiness. My hand touched something hard and cold…I opened my eyes and looked at what I was holding… her bangle. A smile spread across my face as memories of last night splash across my heart…. but thi kahan wo?

“Mannat!” I mouthed and looked around…. I sighed deep as my eyes found her standing near the balcony. I could see her through that chiffon canopy… Her back was turned towards me… her hair falling back on her backing, looking a little messed up. She was wearing… my shirt, the one I was wearing last night, it was going down to her mid thigh and the sleeves going out of her hands… hanging a bit down. she looked cute…no she was looking hot!

“Mannat!” I called her and she at once turned… “come here”

“you are up? Good morning” she said, I could sense her smiling…

“hmm… itni door se good morning? Maza nai aaya” I said making a face and heard her chuckled, she slowly moved towards the bed and stopped coming near the brim of it. I looked at her resting my hands under my head.

“Good morning” she said again, holding the wooden pillars of the bed and I just kept on looking at her face.

“or pass” I said and she tried to hide her grin, she came a little closer with her hands folded at her back.

“Good morning” she whispered this time a smile plastered on her face…. a smile so appealing so attracting.

“or pass” I whispered back and for a moment she just stared my face then I felt  a meaningful smile spread over her face as she stepped on the bed, placing her bare knee over it. she came closer and sat over me on my waist with her hands placed over my torso…her hands were warm over my bare cold skin, giving me feelings throughout my body.

She bent down towards my face and kissed the tip of my nose, I closed my eyes slowly.

“Good morning Hurricane!” her breath fanned my face and  a smile spread across it as I opened my eyes. she got back… and I just looked at her face for a while. She looked beautiful…. I took my hands out from under my head and holding her’s in mine I intertwined my fingers, I looked up at her face and jerked up straight on the bed.

She gasped looking into my eyes as our bodies collided and my nose brushed her’s all of a sudden.

“Good Morning Afat!” I whispered and she giggled a little making me go all in sane inside. My nose roamed over her cheek…our hands still mingled perfectly.

"Subha subha Romance?" she asked giggling and I sighed deep.

"my love and romance for you is exempt from the limitations of time and place Mannat!" I whispered and she stopped giggling.... "this is never ending... undying romance" I added and she bit her lower lips smiling a little. My eeys went down to what she was wearing.....

“you are wearing….

“your shirt!... am loving it, its so you… Hussain! all over me” she cut me up in the middle, whispering against my lips.

“I love it on me” she added, her eyes closed and lips parted a little letting her breath warm my cold skin.

“But I will love it more on the floor” I whispered as my lips touched hers and I tossed her back on the bed.

she gasped in between the kiss as I hovered over her with my hands on either sides of her head over the pillow and her hands grasping my arms tightly. She kissed me back and I deepened my kiss as my hand came down to the buttons of my shirt she was wearing and I started un tucking it slowly….

I moved down my lips from her jawline to her neck and she backed her head off… I rested my lips over her collar bone, my hand still over the shirt near the buttons and her grip over my arms went tighter with each button getting un tucked.

“Huss.. Hussain!” She gasped taking my name as I took it off and threw it… dunno where on the floor or maybe on the bed.

She wrapped her arms at the back of my neck as I wrapped mine around her… sinking into her scent.. her charisma.. her love.

The love that actually completed me… complete us.
