Waking up ariz touched the space beisde him which was empty. Groaning he woke up and went into the washroom to freshen up. Coming out of his room he saw mr kamal seated on the dining table having breakfast and zuni busy in the kitchen.
Frowns formed on his fotehead.

"Dad apko aur koi nahi tha mila nashta banwane kay liye or pehle to kabhi time per apne nashta nahi kia aj nashta yaad agaya ."
He said rudely and zuni glared at him over the kitchen counter.

"Tumhe kia masla hai? mere mamoo hain, meri marzi." She said and mr kamal smiled giving her a flying kiss from the table and she chuckled while ariz groaned at this affection of mamoo and bhanji.

"Apne baap se na jealous ho larke." Mr kamal said and ariz scoffed.
"Mujhe zaroorat nahi hai." Narrowing his eyes he murmured.

"Betho me tumhe bhi  breakfast bana deti hoo." Zuni said sipping her tea.

"Razia bana degee na". Ariz said .

"Nahi wo mere kam main busy hai. Nano jan ki taraf gai hai meri chezen lanay." Zuni said and started beating eggs to make him some french toast as they were his favourite.

"Oks. "He said looking at her fast moving hands.

"Soye rahe. College nahi tha jana?" Zuni asked looking at him and creases increased more on ariz's forehead.

"Yahan thehra hua bura lag raha hoo kiya? or wese bhi college bhejna tha to utha detee. " leaning on the counter beside her he replied unbothered.

"Kal paka utha dungi. "Handing him his french toast and coffee she said and he smiled bowing his head.

"Ap bhi hospital jaogi phir.? "He asked and she smiled shaking her head in a no.

"Mene chutian lee hain, for a month."

"To filhal khatam karaden. Meri chutian hone wali hain tab karlena to milker kahin tour per jayengay." Indirectly he had mentioned the honeymoon trip and that too infront of mr kamal who cleared his throat at this and zuni sighed at this boy.

"Acha aik do din me start karti hoo hospital." She said,
"Tum jamming chale jao na. College function main tum gaa rahe ho na gana to practice hojayegi."
She reminded and he chuckled.

"Ghar se nikalne per kiun tulli ho mujhe. Chala jaunga. Or gana ganay kay liye mujhe practice nahi chahiye kabhi tumne suna nahi na mujhe gatay. " He said proudly taking a bite from his frenceh toast.

"Hmm ab sunado, tumhari ye hasrat bhi poori kiye dete hain." She smiled widely.

"Aise kaise, awaeen hi sunado! Sath function per chalo or sunlena." Wiggling his brows he said and her smile died down.

"Main kaise? Tumhare apne friends honge sab wahan per. wahan mera kiya kaam?" Getting back to work she tried refusing but she knew denying ariz was a big no. If he decides on something, he does it no matter what, so this was confirmed that he was now taking her along what so ever.

"Meri wife ho na, so you have to come along. I will introduce you to everyone."
Holding her hand suddenly He said looking straight into her eyes and she smiled alittle getting back at her work pulling her hand out of his.

Haan hai na??? He asked again and she nodded her head in yes. There was no way out she knew it .

"Walima hai aj sham kiya karen uska. " mr and mrs affandi had called mr kamal over to their loinge to discuss a few things.

"Aj raat ka to cancel karden bad me karlenge. ab kal sabko pata chal to gaya hoga na kay tragedy bani thee ." Mr kamal said thinking over it.

"Haan dado alag se venue rakhenge aur new dresses jewellery banwayengay zuni ki. I dont want her wearing those things." Entering inside ariz said and mr kamal raised his brows at mr and mrs affandi as to listen to his son because he knew him well.

"Chalo jaise tum log decide karo per mahinay kay andar andar sab hojana chahiye. Sab kuch reschedule karo or kapre bhi le aao." Mrs affandi said smiling at ber grandsin.

"Haan dado karte hain kuch. Fikr na karen." Saying this he left but halted beside the door seeing zuni standing there.

"Theek hai na. Next month ? , till then we will get sometime to settle things down too." He asked and she nodded silently getting inside the room to greet nano and nana jan.

The days after that went smoothly. Ariz had started his college and after coming back he would take her to different designers for the dress selections and jewellery.
Well finally they had ordered their dresses for walima function which was to be held in about two weeks now and ariz also bought her a party gown to wear at the funtion at his college despite her refusing so much.

She had started going to her hospital again and had gotten extremely busy. Nearly all her colleagues were familiar to the replacement of her groom and had also met ariz alot lately as he would often drop and pick her up nowadays.
Everything seemed to become normal now except the tension between them  at night while sleeping on the same bed but at the farthest ends. Because of being tired zuni would fal asleep instantly but ariz always had problem falling asleep because of her present so close but so distant at the same time. He was now begining to lose his cool and control. He was unsure as to how long this all was  to keep on going. Something had to be done about it as soon as possible.

Zuni had been very busy in the hospital and had just returned home in  mrs affandi's car because unexpectedly ariz was not answerimg her calls so she had asked nano to send her the driver.
Getting home she was abit anxious as to see that ariz was not at home either because everyday by this time he was always home or if he had to go jamming he would always let her know.
Sighing she texted ariz as to let him know that she had reached home.

Taking a relaxing bath she went and ate food with mrs affandi and then came and slept for an hour to relax herself.
Getting up in the evening zuni went down to the kitchen and made herself some tea, ariz was still not home yet and mr kamal had left last night and was to return back on their walima day again.
She tried calling ariz again this time and he picked up though his voice seemed very wornout.

"Ariz kahan ho, kis wakt aaogay?" She asked.

"Bus araha hoo. Bhook lagee hai, kuch khanay ka bana lena." He had said and agreeing she turned off the phone. Something just didnt feel right about him.
Shrugging her shoulders she went into the kitchen again and fried some kababs for him and made him a shawarma.

"Ariz kahan the tum subah se?" She rushed out hearing the horn of his car.
"Sorry, got stuck somewhere." Getting inside with her he said but she silenced seeing his condition. His fists were red, his face worn out. Eyes red and puffy. His body all sweaty. But she did not ask and left the inquiries to after dinner though she was getting tensed. Something seemed serious.

"Haath dho lo pehle ariz." She said Seeing him already settled on the dining table where zuni had  laid his food a while ago.

"Bus dr sahiba thori desciplined banen." Waving her off he said and started eating . He never did that. He always listened to her. Furrowing her eyebrows she went and brought a hand sanitizer anyways and holding his hand placed it on them gesturing him to rub his hands now and he chuckled at her actions.

"You are such a hygiene freak dr saahiba." He said and started eating again. Within minutes the plates were empty. Seemed he hadent eaten from the morning.

"Ab mujhe batao kiya hua hai. Tum itne stressed kiun ho or tumhare hath zakhmi kiun hain ariz?"
Coming into the room zuni held his hand stopping him from going anywhere and said looking into his teary eyes.
Having had enough for the day he let it all out in front of zuni.

"She fucking married a professor from my college. She could have married anyone but him. And, and she had this audacity to come and meet me down there so that my class fellows could have pity on me that i have a freaking broken family and my mother has now trapped this asshole professor from our college. Wow!" He said laughing mockingly and hearing his words she gasped. She could understand how hard it was for him or infact for any child belonging to a broken family.
His eyes were red and mental state seemed unstable.

"Ariz mazboot bano. Sab ne agay barhna hota hai." Trying to soothe ariz, she said and held onto him and he hugged her tightly supressing a sob. Hugging him back she patted his shoulder to let him know she was there for him no matter what. Pulling back she held his hand and cleaned his fist with antiseptic swabs.

"Yahan kiya hua tha. Did you fight with someone?" Looking into his eyes she questioned and he shook his head as no." Phir?"
"Boxing?" She asked and he nodded. She knew his love for boxing and whenever he was angry or stressed, the poor punching bag and his fists had to bare the consequences.
Sighing she went and put the things away and came to sleep  beside him.

"Zuni.?" HE voiced and zuni looked at him sitting up but he took her in his embrace. Silent tears still rolling down his eyes. His head rested on her chest. Her breathing was getting heavier but she could not back out when he needed her the most. Silently she placed her arms around his back and started sooting him.

"Ariz, sab theek hojayega. Khud ko saza nahi do." Kissing his head she held him and put his head to the pillow and he snuggled into her silently and smiling she kept quite...
The whole night he slept peacefully cuddling with her and half the night she had raked her fingers in his hair.  Dadi was right.
"Bohat terhe merhe baal hain iske." She thought feeling his silky locks.
