Mrs meena's words were haunting amal in and out . She was extremely confused and very unready for ruksati at this stage. She was cursing the night she had given up in her desires . Argh the hormones were crazh she thought.
The words she had said to ghazan were totally opposite, she had always told him that she did not want ruksati with him and now the circumstance had lead to all this.

Having enough if these torturing thoughts, she Groaned loudly and headed to his room.

"Ghazan ami spoke about our ruksati to me and I am going mad. So When mamoo says something about it just tell him we dont want it yet, please because I am not ready neither willing. " getting inside his room, She said it in one go.

"Alright amal, i will do that." Sighing he replied not bothering to look towards her. Her heart sinked at his behaviour. She was waiting for him to growl at her or atleast say something heart wrenching or deny her atleast but his silent behaviour made her feel guilty.

"Jao amal!" He said again bringing her out of thoughts.

"You wont say anything." She murmurred slightly.

"Is there anything to say amal?" Finally turning towards her he said. His eyes and nose felt red.

"You got flue? "She asked getting concerned.

"It shouldent bother you." He replied nonchalantly.

"Ghazan, please. " she whispered pleadingly.

"Please just  leave me alone amal." Saying this he was out of his room before her and she slumped on his couch..

.......

"Amal hey, I am sorry about the other day but your cousin was unnecessarily rude. " it was after university and to aboid the sun amal was waiting for ghazan under one of the verrandas when haris approached all of a sudden, slightly freightening her.

"He is just possesive about me." Giving a faint smile she said and tried walking away from there . Haris was giving her negative vibes and ghazan had told her to keep distance from him and that must have been for reasons because as far as she knew ghazan was good at judging people.

"Why is that? I was not going to eat you anyways." Scoffing he came closer.

"Please just leave haris." Trying to escape she said nervously but he had dared to block her way.

"What if i dont want to." Clicking his toungue he said ans  held her from her shoulders and amal looked at him bewildered for a second before giving him a tight slap on his cheek.

"What the hell, how dare you?" He barked trying to pounce on her.

"You ashole, I said stay away from her!"  Came in ghazans roaring voice and getting a cue amal ran and embraced ghazan in a hug. She instantly felt safe.

(Jo bhi hojaye, apna mard, apna mehram, apna hi hota hai!!! Mehfooz jagah hota hai... khuda sabke mardo ko unki aurto kay liye mehfooz banaye, chahay wo baap ho, bhai ho ya shohar! Ameen)

"Amal go and sit in the car, let me handle him."
Ghazan roared and taking long strides went and held haris from his collars before thrashing him onto the ground.

"I am fuckng filing a case against you in court, you punk!" He said before shoving a.punch at his face.

:Oh really, and why are ypi always clinging onto her? whats that? Consent or  consensual?"  Lauging between his bleeding teeth haris yelled.

"He is my husband, alright. " Amal voiced out before ghazan could utter anything.

"Heard that? Now be ready to face the court. You,Harasser !"
Ghazan yelled leaving from there with amal tagging along.
...

"How do you always end up alone with him amal? You need to be careful and alert , okay." Ghazan said, he had brought her to his office as he had some work to complete there.

"Thats not my fault ghazi. You came in late to pick me up, nearly all my class leaves instantly and guess he follows me around. " she said truthfully

"Where was saira. ?" He questioned.

"Absent. " she replied.

"That asshole. I m not sparing him ever, wonder how many other girls he has harassed"  gritting his teeth ghazan said.

"I m sorrg ghazan for involving you in it."
Holding onto his red fists shw said and he looked towards her with enraged eyes.

"Hath choro mera amal. ( leave my hand amal)" he said pulling back his hand from her soft hands.

Why..? She murmurred

"Tum ghar jao mere driver kay sath, me ajauga. ( go home with my driver, I will come later.)" He instructed, totally ignoring her previous question.

"Kuch ulta seedha mat krna.( dont do anything stupid)" she said before leaving.

"None of your buisness amal. Please leave now and as per your request Iwill talk to dad in a few days to cancel the ruksati. Okay!"
He said dryly and her heart missed a beat.  He was acting like a stranger.

........

"Amal you dont seem alright and you seem to hide everything from me these days. Haris wali baat bhi nahi batai.( you didnt even tell me about haris)"

Saira said looking at her friend and the dark circles around her eyes. They were besties since 4th grade and shared almost everything with eachother always.

"Usko choro , aik ussay bhi bohat bara masla hogaya hai saira and I am very scared now." ( leave that, a greater problem then that has occured) " amal said holding her head in her palms.

"Kiya hua? ( what happened?) " saira asked getting worried as she never saw amal this way. She was the kind of  girl who made others het worried ans instead she seemed extremely worried herself. Things were getting scary now.

"Wo main aur ghazi muree gaye the na to.... wahan...( me and ghazi went to murree and there....)"  She bit her lips to contemplate on her words. It was getting difficult to share this but she had to, to look for a solution.

"Kiya amal? badtameezi ki tumne ghazan se?  ya phir,  asusual you fought with him?" she asked, but Little did she know that amal had just made too much love to him instead this time and that was causing more serious walay troubles.

"Nahi wo ...woo...( that ..)" trying ti utter the proper words she stuttered and giving up she stopped.

"Bolo bhi..  ( talk already!)" Having had enough of suspense saira yelled.

"We did the deed!" Amal said it slowly.

"Kiyaa?  What deed? " saira asked confused and amal slammed her head with her palms.

"Deed, that Deed , the things couples do... Husbands and wife's do... you know making love."  She blurted out in one go and sairas eyes popped out, after digesting her words.

"Na kar yaarrr !!!!ye kia bol ri ho.. ( dont tell me, what are you talking about?)" Saira seemed not to believe.

" Dont judge, agay suno..( listen further)"   amal said making a face.

"Sunao miss.( plz tell)" Saira said.

"I am missing my p... " before she could complete saira yelled,
"Whattt?????"

"Haan, ab ye batao kia karoo..kia hosakta hai,( yes, now tell me what to do, what could have happened.), and I havent told anyone neither I can" amal said on the verge of crying. All this was depressing her. She had never taken this much stress before.

"Amal, you have to tell ghazan atlease if not your mother." Saira sais shaling her head.

"Nahi, never!" Amal shook her head stubbornly.

"Amal you might be preggo. You cannot hide it." Saira said putting in some sense into her brain.

What will be the use of telling ghazan and why shall I tell him, just suggest me something else please." Amal said, tears out of her eyes.

"Ruksati karalo ussay pehle kisi ko pata chale.( just get ruksati done before someone gets to know about it.)  Or before.it gets too late.",. ab nikkah to tha to technically its nothing wrong per rukssti karalo to behter hai" wiping away her friends years saira suggested.

"I didnt do anything wrong right? ,i am his wife,in his nikkah so its halal. Or did i do a mistake?
She asked nervously.

"Its absoultly fine  but you shoud have waited for ruksati amal. People have toungues they still speak. So its better to tell him and get your ruksati quick, there is no other way out." Saira said .

"Oh no!What should i do now?" Sobbing she said again and saira sighed.

"Demand a ruksati quick!!! Are you even listening to me amal!" Saira asked.

"But i am not sure if i want to spend my whole life with him or not. " amal murmurred, sounding totally confused.

"What?  Are you in your senses?   you are saying this now, after all this . Amal hosh karo. ( come into senses)" saira said sternly.

"Aik hosh hi to nahi raha mujhe saira. Kia karoo? ( I have gone senseless saira, what shall I do?" Amal said sighing.

.....

"Why r u here amal? I have been seeing u r not going to uni since past three days. " ghazan asked seeing her sneak into his room..he sat up seeing her walk in.

"I dont want to go. " she said stopping inches away from his bed.

May I ask why? " getting dòwn from his bed he came closer to her.

"I am scared. " she said

Scared of ??? He asked

"Haris.. " she murmurred.

"The same haris that u very bravely slapped amal? Come on!" He said chuckling and she looked at him longingly, she had missed this side of mr ghazan aqdus.

"What if he does that again.?" She said

"Amal u dont sit hiding at home bcoz of harasers but instead u be brave and fight them, i thought u were stronger than that.."
Coming closer to her, he said cupping her face in his strong hands.

"Yeah i am but he gave me neagtive vibes. "She whispered and he sighed .

I have launched a case against him and he is terminated form university,okay."
Assuring her,he  said with a faint smile.

"U did that. Thanks ghazi."  she said looking into his eyes and scoffing he looked away.

"Aise mat dekha karo.  ( never look at me like that) " he said

"Kiun.(why?)"  She asked

"Saira jo subah se yahan thee usne nahi bataya k haris is termisnated .( didnt saira tell u about haris's termination?)"
He asked changing the topic.

"Nahi, I guess she didnt know." She said

Ok..now shabash go get ur things ready and i want to see u going to uni tommorow, ok. " patting her cheeks he said trying to dismiss her. SHe staying in his room too long would create chaos, he knew.

"Ok. "

Go now." turning away he said but she held his wrist halting his steps.

"Ab kiya hai amaloo. ( what now amaloo)" He said and she smiled.  he had called her amaloo after so long..

"Aik aur bat karni hai, importsnt wali . ( i.have to talk about something important." She said, her head bowd down.

"Hmm m listening. " he murmurred.

Nahi ap yahan dekh k sune. (.no look at me and listen)" she said.

Acha bolo. ( fine, speak)" turning around he said and gesturing him towards the couch she pulled him along to sit.

"Acha jee ab bolen apni ehem bat!" ( now tell me yiur important thing)" ghazan said cocking up his brow.

"Ghazan,  ruksari ki bat karo baro se..aik hafte k ander ander. ( talk to elders about ruksati within a week" amal said. He was stunned at this unbelievable turn. Something felt fishy.

"Kiya.?  Khairiat hai tum shayad bhool rahi ho tum mere sath shadi me interested nahi thee. ?" ( are u realising what u r saying. U were not interested in ruksati with me amal" he said sternly. He had had enough of her mind changes.

"And have u forgotten the night in muree?"
She said angrily and he looked away.

"Amal, that was a weak moment!, " he murmurred

"Dont u dare say that. " amal reacted quick and said angrily

"Dont force yourself for that mistake amal. " he said and she sighed.

"But i have missed my periods this week. What about that, I might be pregnant!"
She screamed hysterically, tears rolling down ber eyes in seconds and thats when he realised, how foolish was he? Why had he never thought about it. .

"Amaloo yar.I, I was a fool to not have thought of it and you beared all tgis alone."  Pulling her towards him he hugged her tight kissing her head, he wiped away her tears.

"I am sorry amal. I really am. Dont worry, i will figure something out. I, I am sorry, I will talk to the elders soon."
He whispered and she sighed a sigh of relief wrapping her arms around his waist she rested her head on his chest.
