    Shehnaaz knows she has to go through amount of embarrassment, the moment she will leave room. One she can't walk properly, second she has again taken shower. It is normal for husband and wife to do stuff but they also have to face embarrassment at some point of their lives. Especially like hers today. What does husband and wife do being locked inside one room for hours? Answer is very obvious. Amna's gonna tease the shit out of her today

   She tried to hide marks given by her husband but couldn't hide them all. It's impossible when there so many and they are everywhere. She fight urge to blush. Part of her is still surprised and not believing that her and Mir-sahab actually did that. He was currently in shower and as she thinks about him, door opened and he grace her with his presence. She blushed looking in mirror totally avoid looking at him because she's sure he will gives her playful smirks and expressions

    She met her doe eyes with him through vanity mirror as he was standing just behind her. He leaned forward to grab hairbrush. She could smell her body wash off him when he grew closer. She gripped dressing table with blush when his front pressed against her back he's doing on purpose she knows especially when he has that smirk on his face. She looked away from him and pass him hairbrush so he would step back

"Mir-sahab." She turned around to and hold out hairbrush for him while looking down she's not gonna look at him because she knows he's gonna laugh at her shy face

"Dekh kyun nahi rahi mujhe? Abhi tak sharam arahi hai meri jaan hmm?" Instead of taking hairbrush, he bring his hand to caress her hair and tuck strand behind ear, gosh these butterflies. Shehnaaz lifted her face to look at him through her lashes

"Y-yeh len." She forwarded brush. He looked at it for second before taking it from her only to toss it back on dressing table. He pushed her against table. cadging her between him and table completely which caused her to let out small surprise gasp

"Tumne mujhse Eidi he nahi li."

    He reminds her. Yes! She totally forgot about it. She was only brave one among them who use to go to him and ask him Eidi when they were younger. And too say he use to give generous amount of money would be fair

"Oh Haan. Abhi den mujhe." She nodded forwarding her hand with excited smile she loves getting Eidi. One of reason she loves Eid. You becomes real rich after eid is over

"Doon ya nahi?"

"Mir-sahab sochen bhi mat!" She looks at him with wide eyes. He better give her Eidi! He has amusing expressions. This is most she has expressed in front of him nowadays

"Achi biwi ki tarha maango tameez se phir socho ga kuch." He smirked, grabbing her chin to give her hard kiss on lips. What he meant by socho ga! He steps back smirkingly but she help sleeve of his kameez, tightly between her fingers with small pout on her lush lips

    Smirk was long gone when she made that face and breath escaped his lips. She has no idea what she does to him. He kissed her again and cupped her face tightly to make it last longer. He can't get enough of her, she whimper when he bite her lower lip between kiss—Her phone's ringing made her keep palms against his chest to pull him away slightly. He held her both wrists in hand and pinned them behind, she gasped in his mouth as his lips moved against hers roughly

    He pulled back from her mouth and give her smug expressions before moving back wiping corner of his mouth. She looks at him in disbelief with blush on her cheeks and out of breath what an as-she can't even curse him in her own damn mind. He's really a bully who's equally mean, she turned around to who's calling mustafa. She totally forgot to wish him Eid-Mubarak! She glanced at Sidharth who was now sitting on bed with back rested against headboard. He was flicking through pages of her economics book that was kept on side table

   If she talked in front of him. He surely will snatch her phone and won't give her back. She was aware of Mir-sahab's possessiveness, even if she tells him how good friend he is of her. He won't understand

"Call nahi uthaogi" He said in deep voice without looking up from book "Who's calling you?" He met her eyes through mirror

"My friend." She told him turning to look at him. God she can never just lie to him. She's too scared to lie to him ever and it's not like having opposite gender friend is crime "He's calling to wish me Eid-Mubarak subha message kiya tha lekin mene reply he nahi kiya tha." She says further

"Krlo baat." He shut down book completely here we go that's not it. She knows just by the he's looking at her and that clenched jaw "Put it on speaker I want to hear how he speaks to you."

"I am like sister to him Mir-sahab." She whined in low voice getting on edge of bed "He does not have any kind of feelings for me." She says

"Just put it on damn speaker Shehnaaz right fucking now." His stern voice made her lips curved into pout. She pulls her phone out and dial mustafa's  number before putting call on speaker. She looks at him why he's looking at her like that! What did she do to him now!

"Hello Shehnaaz?"

"Hello." She replied

"Itna koi sota hai bhala? Na message ka reply at least khair Mubarak toh likh deti." She looks at her husband who was listening calmly

"Baat yeh ha-"

"Ohoo Shehnaaz ko miss kar rahe ho? Aww cute couple." Hania's voice behind came in teasing manner. shit not now please. She can feel Mir-sahab's gaze burning holes in her head why haina why! She mentally groan

"B-bakwas baatein na karo pleas-"

"Bhen tum iske chere pe smile dekhti jab tumhari call ayi!" Please stop right now. Shehnaaz slowly moved her hand to end call while bitting her lip but Sidharth looked at her sharply with don't you dare hang up  look

"We are having dinner together right now tume mein pick krne ayu?" Mustafa's voice came back

"Nahi mein busy hoon." She immediately replied so she could end call. Her heart is pounding right now and hands have gone sweaty just because of scary looks her husband is giving her

"Achaa. Eid-Mubarak."

"Khair-Mubarak." She didn't waste single second before ending call

"Mir-sahab-"

"Sister huh?" Sidharth raised eyebrow at her sarcastically looking completely normal but he has his fist clenched

"Sister he hoon uski lekin meri dost Hania fazool baatein krti hai he does not have any feelings for me sach mein." Is she that oblivious? sidharth thought. That guy's gentle voice and words were giving away his feelings. His blood was boiling at fact that guy mustafa is in fucking love with her and she's this much clueless

"Mir-sahabb." She whine

"If I say will you end your friendship with him?" He asked now that's childish

"Krdugi."

    He expected explanation on how's he her good friend and all but he did not expect this straight answer. For Shehnaaz friendship means alot but he means more if he's not comfortable with her having friendship with opposite gender. She will end it and she expects same from him even though she knows Mir-sahab does not have any female friends as he's little old thinking type

"Tum use bataugi ke tumhara ek shohar hai and he should know his limits also tell your those friends agar mene unki yeh jahilana teasings suni toh mujhe yeh us university se degree lekr dekhayen." He warned. He won't ask her to end friendship no matter how much he wants to, only because she has recently suffered lose in her life. He will slowly drive this mustafa out of her life. Yes he's toxic as fuck any problem? Also it's not like he's stopping her and going around doing same

"Okayy." She smiles getting off bed slowly while gripping her phone and dupatta that was laying on armchair. Why she looks so happy? He was annoyed that she's happy because she gets to stay as friends with that motherfucker

"Mir-sahab?" She called holding room's door in middle as she looks at him

"Jee Shehnaaz kuch reh gaya?" His tone held sarcasm

"Ap dinner mein kya khaoge?"

"Agar tum bana rahi ho toh nothing janam." How rude. She pouts, she wasn't gonna make it herself she was going to order food since amna also cooks like her or worst. She stared at him who was now laying down with closed eyes and she pretended to be hurt by his words "Light off krke jana." He pointed at switch board

"Ap sorahe ho?" She asks

"Lights off krke photosynthesis toh karuga nahi." Argh. Can't be give normal answers without making her sound dumb

"Toh dinner nahi karega?"

    She being good wife asked even after all his sarcasm. He murmured nahi, she wanted to insist but she scared he must snap at her for not letting him sleep, so she turned off lights as he said and exits room closing door behind

"Finally!"

    Amna smirked from kitchen. She was making coffee for Aryaan  Shehnaaz wants earth to crack open and sallow her whole she thought she can do this but she can't. Aryaan was now dressed in t-shirt and shorts. So they went home and came back here again. Imagine Mir-sahab gets to know that they went back their family house which is fully empty. Just two of them. Aryaan lifted his gaze who was leaning against marble counter watching his lover make him coffee

"What finally?" Aryaan frown now looking between his bhabhi-Jaan and lover what's up with their looks?

"Tum socho she was gone for like hours inside one room with her husband socho?" Amna smirked. Shehnaaz watched girl in disbelief and look for a big spoon to smack her ass

"Obviously sleep amna Mir bhai ne 3 ghante drive kiya tha obviously he was sleeping and she's his wife toh sath hogi." Aryaan shrugged smiling like golden retriever puppy. innocent soul. Shehnaaz genuinely loves him but only sometimes

"Seriously." Amna gives him judging looks. Even clueless person will get right answer

"Stop listening to her yeh tumhe corrupt krdegi tum ese clueless he ache lagte ho Aruu." Shehnaaz said pulling his cheeks. He gave her remove your hands before I grab your hair look to which she immediately let go

"You can't give me these looks anymore bhabhi-jaan mein tumhari." She flips her hair with smirk on which Aryaan scoffed

"Sach mein chalak ho bhai ke samne itni masoom hoti ho ek alfaz nahi nikalta aur behind the scenes tauba tauba." He says while doing tauba. She rolls her eyes and push him aside to get towards refrigerator. It's her habit to open door of refrigerator every second minute to look even if there is nothing to eat

"Dinner mein kya khae?" She asks closing door

"Mir bhai se pucho." Amna said handing over coffee to Aryaan as she leaned beside him at marble counter of kitchen

"Unhone kaha wo sorahe hai he won't have dinner. Unhone toh lunch bhi nahi kiya and breakfast bhi-"

"He is still sleeping?"Aryaan cut her off

"Nahi wo abhi sone gaye hain." She tells him

"Toh itni der se OHHHH.....ab smjha aya!" It clicked him as he looks at amna for confirmation who nodded with smirk than he looks at Shehnaaz with teasing looks "Oho mazey hai tumhare toh no wonder Mir bhai itni der se drive krke aye. You must be missing him." He nudge her elbow. She opens refrigerator door again to take water bottle and leaves kitchen completely ignoring them both with blush on her cheeks

"Achaa thora bhut batao how was it? Achaa yeh batao how does it feel?" Amna trail after it with uncountable questions

"Mir-sahab ko bula kar ayu unse puchlo." She offered with cheeks still heated. she saw their teasing coming. She was ready for this, still can't help but get all red

"Woah look at these all love bites." Amna pointed at ones on her neck. She pull her neckline little to see ones on her cleavage, Shehnaaz look at her in disbelief and smack her hand away. Aryaan coughed wiggling his brows, while drinking his coffee they are too much, she miss maham who smacks amna right on cheek if she teases her. And she's thankful that zain wasn't there because he's extra so extra that he will literally make it his mission to tease her more than anyone in same room

"You know what mein jarahi hoon Mir-sahab se complain krne." She threatens standing up

"ARYYY RUK JA MERI MAA"

   Aryaan shove his coffee aside and grabbed her hand before pushing her back on sofa with panic in his eyes. His cousin will kill. No jokes, he will kill him if he gets to know what are they asking his wife and teasing her about. She looked at amna with folded arms who also nodded saying she will stop teasing her and added for now. Shehnaaz let it slide and get comfortable in sofa

    They were ordering food from foodpanda. It took them whole hour to decide, what to eat and at end they settled on aryaan's barbecue as he reasoned because it's Eid and we should eat like it. Shehnaaz was thankful that she has prayed her namaz on time. She prefer praying namaz with azan because later she gets lazy and now she was reciting surahs on rosary with legs up against her chest and head buried in her knees

     She lifted her head when Sidharth came out of room. Annoyed with phone against his ear he probably forgot to put phone on silent. He has messy hair, falling on his forehead and he's speaking in his Damn raspy voice as he sits down beside Shehnaaz on sofa, very close with arm resting behind her on sofa's head and leg on another. She didn't miss look amna and Aryaan shared who were before watching reels together. She just didn't look at them instead looked down at her rosary

   Sidharth let out frustration gasp and ended call. He turn his head to look at him wife, she was looking at him so innocently and with affection that his all anger vanished instantly, He is blessed. He knows he is when you have life partner like her it means you have been blessed by creator. He watched as she looked away to joined her hands in for seconds dua and pull them against her face before keeping rosary aside on table

"Dinner karenge we have ordered food hum mein se kisi ne nahi banaya." She said before he refuses. What she doesn't know is that he would have eaten anything she made. He just said what he said about not eating if she's making because he was annoyed that she was happy about being mustafa's friend

"Lekr ayo." He nodded. Smile made way to her lips as she nodded immediately and rush out of sofa to get him food. Nobody can love him like she does and he knows. He knows
