Mrs affandi had very well sensed something was wrong with both of them but kept silent and was waiting for them to resolve the matter themselves before she could interferre.

Zuni was silent. Just too silent. She was avoiding ariz as much as she could. And he was trying very hard to get a chance to speak to her but zuni was not giving him one.
He was getting very frustrated now. Zuni was not talking to him neither was cooking for him. She would only instruct razia over what to cook and when to serve and to top it all off she was not even going to hospital with him.

....

Waking up zuni came out of the room all dressed up and ready to go to the hospital.
She had called an uber and grabbing an apple she rushed out.
Ariz's rooms door was shut today though every morning he would be out waiting for her but yes she was avoiding him so hence she would leave herself ignoring him but today when he wasent there she sighed and rushed down.
After sleeping two nights with mrs affandi, she was back at kamal portion as to not let anyone create any gossip about her.

Standing in the lawn all ready she was now continously checking her phone waiing for her uber to arrive  which was still five minutes away.

"Zunash! Gayee nahin tum hospital." Rafiq had come out all ready for work and asked her. This was the first time he was directly communicating with her after he had moved back at affandi house after his divorce.

"Bus uber ka intezar kar rahi thee, abhi jaati hoo." Seeing him she had remembered all the humiliation she had faced because of this man, who now had the audacity to still talk to her. But being the mature one and not keeping grudges she replied nonetheless politely.

"Zunash mujhe maaf kardo please, mujhse ghalti hui thee or uski saza main kaat raha hoo." He had started but zuni cut him through.

"Dekho please purani baten na dohrao to behter hai. Main aise ziada khush hoo. Or maafi mangne ki zaroorat nahi hai mujhse." She had said sternly. She was eagerly loking at her phone screen. Her uber driver had seemed to be lost somewhere.

"Dair horahi hai to main drop kardu?" Rafiq had said and zuni's head shot up at him. A mocking smile lingered on her lips and she shook her head in a no but before she could say something ariz had come running close to them.

"No thanks, she is my wife, my responsibiity, I can very much take care of her and I will drop her off at her hospital on the way."
He said very bitterly eyeing rafiq. Jealousy was oozing from ariz's demeanour. He had possesively draped his arm around zuni's waist and she looked at him instantly.

"Chalen zuni." He said again holding her hand. he led her to the car and cancelling her uber ride she silently obliged.

Rafiq  left from there the next instant...

"Iss dramay ki zaroorat nahi thee ariz." Zuni had said looking at him who was silently driving his range rover slightly over the speed limit.

"Ye drama nahi tha zuni. Why the fuck was he there? Or uski himmat kaise hui tumhe drop karne ki offer dete hue. Isne ainda aisa kiya na to Mujhse nahi bachega." Seething with anger he said and increased the speed even more and zuni was getting scared now.

"Ariz pehle speed ahista karo tum." She said sternly looking at him.

"Kiun maanoon main tumhari baat? Tum do hafte se mujhe ignore kar rahi ho. Aik baar tumne meri baat suni? Main kehna kiya chahta ho? aik chance explanation ka dia?" He slightly reduced the speak but said all this looking at her. His eyes held rage.

"Ariz main iss wakt tumse larna nahi chahti. Thak gai hoo main bohat." She said putting her head back on the seat and relaxing her nerves abit.

"Hosakay to sirf aik baar meri baat sunlena zuni. Maine jo bola wo ghalat tha per sudden reaction tha. I am sorry, very sorry." They had reached her hospital and parking the car in the doctors car park he held her hands and said and she sighed.

"Hmm, theek hai." She replied.

"Zuni tum mera bachpan, mere halat sab janti ho, main darrta hoo thats it, werna tumhare sath main kuch bhi karne ko tayar hoo chahay family start karna bhi kiun na ho, tum sath hogee to sab sahi rahega  I know that. Maaf kardo yar." He said sounding tired.

"Theek hai, baat karenge iss topic per lekin bad main kabhi. Abhi hath choro dair horahi hai mujhe." Tapping his hand with her free hand she said  and he left it sighing.

"Wapisi per main aunga lene. Theek hai!" He said looking at her.

"Okay." She agreed and smiling alittle he left.

And on the way back she had silently waited for him to come and pick her up. And as per promised he came right after his college.

"Thanks for waiting and not hurrying on an uber." He said as soon as she entered the car.

"Hmm, and thanks for coming." She said smiling. Her heart was now half at ease. His positive attitude always relieved her.

"Aj aik do topics samjhaogi." He asked smiling and shw chuckled.

"Islye manaya jaa rahe hai." She said looking at him raising her brow.

"Nahi yar! Wese to tumhare hath kay club sandwiches khaye bhi arsa hua." He said purposely to tease her and she punched him hard on his shoulder.

"Ab main kabhi nahi banaugi. Jao!" Suppressing her laugh she turned to look out of the window and he chuckled.

Coming home zuni had went inti the room she had been occupying these days to shoeer and  change while ariz had decorated his rooms with flowers around eith a big " i am sorry" banner. He was now waiting outside zuni's room so she could come out and he could take her inside their room.

Blow Drying her hair zuni wore some minimal makeup after so many days and opted for a purple sleeveless gown. She knew no one was home exceot ariz hence sheb thought of wearing it today. 
Forgiving him mentallyy she wanted to mend things between them and give him a chance to speak and also to discuss many things with him. Well for all this she wanted to dress uo for him.

As soon as she stepped out of her room feeling self conscious she was pulled by her arm right into their room next door.

"Ariz!" She yelped at his sudden action.

"Zuni you look incredible!" He had caged her between his arms and was now looking at her from head to toe. His eyes speaking many words.
Zuni looked around ans gasped at the room decor. She smiled seeing the( sorry) banner.
So it meant both of them were putting in efforts to this relationshiop.

"Zuni aik bar baat sunlo meri." Holding her hand he pulled her closer. He had seen her eyes trailing on the banner and her sweet little faint smile also. Plus her getthing ready for him, encouraged him more.

Her heart had missed a beat at his close proximity. It had been two weeks he hadent touched her or been this close and she knew she missed it all. Inhaling  sharply she held her self together waiting for him to speak. These matters had to be discussed.

"Khafa na ho mujhse please zuni. Main nahi reh sakta tumhare bina. Tum mere liye bohat zaroori ho . Main ghalat tha mujhe maaf kardo. Main kiya karoo??
Mera bachpan tumhare agay hai. Mera humesha  se tumhare siwa koi apna nahi raha. Tumhe kisi se bhi share karne se darta hoon zuni.
main bohat sharminda hoo. Main maafi mangta hoon per plz mujhe nadan samajh kar humesha maaf karti rehna. Meri ghaltio pe mujhe daant denaz maarlena beshak se, per kabhi khafa na hona. Mujhe akela na chorna. Tumhe khonay se darta hoo zuni." He had said all that was in his heart. A lone tear leaving his eye. He was regretting it all.

"Or tim ghaltian karna nahi chorogay ?"  She asked still upset, wiping away his tear yhough her own eyes were filling up.

"Main poori koshish karunga per bewakoof hoon na. Kia ariz kamal ki tumhare dil main itni bhi mohabat nahi k iss bar maaf kardo?" He asked looking into her eyes. Little did he know, " zuni kay poore dil main hi ariz kamal tha."

"Mere dil k andar jhaank ker dekhlo sirf tum hi ho ariz. Shayad ab se nahi, bohat pehle se. Tumhare liye main kuch bhi karne ko tayar hoon, tum hazar bar ghalti karo, main lakh bar maaf karungi per aisi baten na karna kabhi bhi dobara." Suppressing her sov she said and unablebto hold back anymore ariz had slammed his lips on her pouring all his love and passion.

His kisses had yrailed down on her neck and he then to her collarbone. Getting lost in the moment she arched her her head back giving him more access.
His hands had travelled to her thighs and pulling back with great difficulty she held his hands.

"Are u sure ariz? I am not on any pills." She managed to utter words.

"I dont fucking care zuni. Mujhe sharminda na karo please. " rubbing his face he had said.

"Ariz sochlo" sighing she said holding him back.

"I want a family, a child with you zuni, which we both can chesrish."
He had said truthfully and suppressing a happy sob zuni hugged him. His embrace felt so safe. Pulling her closer he carried her up and she instantly wrapped her legs around his waist and crashed her lips on his. He had smiled against her lips and shutting her eyes she enjoyed the bliss.
This was home.
