SEWAN

"Pucha Ziya se?"

   Mir shah pulled his wife aside who was having conversation with house-help about supper for their in-laws, Shayan's parents as they were coming. She looks at him through lashes and shook her head with little bit of hesitation

"Dekhi hi nahi pura din I looked for her everywhere you know Mir sahab wo ek jagha hoti-"

"I gave you one job." Oh great now he's mad "You can't even do that Shehnaaz is it only me who has to worry about our kids? You want to play no part in it at all because you seems to value fucking guest over your kids." He said it calmly but she didn't like what he said every mother cares about her kids and it's not her fault that he's over stressing this whole thing. She understands that he's worried about his daughters but this is not way to deal with it

"Mujhe zarorat hi nahi hai since you are worrying on behalf of everyone! And if you worry so much why don't you ask her yourself huh mujhe ake sunna zarori hai?!" She raise her voice

"Watch your tone sweetheart." He warned, she looks at him more like glare at him with glassy eyes and leaves murmuring something in anger again. Guilt build inside him instantly. He really didn't realise his words until he said them and it's fair if she got upset over it, she obviously worries about them equally or even more than him, he won't justify his behaviour towards her because he was wrong and he admits it but he said those out of frustration and stress. He meant non

     Shehnaaz sniffed wiping her tears. He says he will punish her if she cries but he's one who always makes her cry! She can bear anyone's harsh behaviour but not his. That hurts her real bad, also he never say things like those so it's more hurting for her to hear them first time. She worries about her kids and trust them. She has fate that they will never do anything wrong. What's wrong if Zaafir likes mahanoor? What's wrong if Ziya has crush and instead of hiding she confessed right on time. What's wrong in Ziva liking someone at least she's not making move just have feelings. She's relax because she trust her kids. Mir sahab can think whatever he wants she doesn't care

"Oh gabol?"

    She looked at man in dark grey suit and white dress shirt underneath. His silver chain could be seen under his shirt. His hand was intertwined with pretty Lady beside him but she she looks like her doctor from agha khan hospital? She recently changed her doctor on friend's recommendation and she loves her new shy yet friendly doctor. She's daughter of alam qureshi, lawyer and someone her husband knows

"Doctor qureshi?" She smiles at younger women who smiles back innocently but hesitates. She's always like this timid and fragile with eyes casted down most of time. Looks like she hates eye-contact

"Mrs gabol." Gabool corrected. Huh, no way. Don't tell her she's his wife. Honestly she has never met his wife before but she's surprised how! How can this man have this wife! She's such a sweetheart meanwhile he? He's rude asshole who doesn't even greet his elders. Shehnaaz maybe is same age as this gabol but she's wife of his senior member. Least he can do is greet her. He has some problem with her for sure. Is it because Mir shah didn't marry his cousin because of her? It's not her fault!

"She's one you married on gunpoint?"

"Yes." He smirked proudly this asshole, his wife glanced at him and just let him be. Lucky asshole

"Where are your kids?" She loves his cute twins and has met them when he came last time with them. They will running all over with Ziya and Zaafir playing with them. They lighten up mood of everyone in house

"Wo Karachi hain they have school so couldn't bring them with us." His wife answered in soft voice. They must be on their to larkana. Shehnaaz nodded understanding

"Come in!"

    They made their way inside, where gabol told them he has to meet Mir shah and get something sighed for which he's here and straight when to his study, leaving his wife behind and asked Shehnaaz to take care of her in that stern voice. She just rolled her eyes those days are gone when she was afraid of this asshole. She was having conversations with Mrs gabol when her elder daughter finally decided to grace them with her presence. Shehnaaz had this urge to just ask her who's your damn crush! So she can throw name at her husband and give him more attitude but it can wait

"You know when your father wasn't agreeing uncle gabol to baba and baba give him that nikka-"

"Do you want some pastries!" Shehnaaz smiles nervously. Mrs gabol shook her head politely, Shehnaaz glare at her daughter who shrug

—

"Muma, she's pretty."

     Zaafir whisper in his mother's ear with dreamy eyes while waving at pretty doctor who was leaving with her husband. Shehnaaz gave him look and look at her husband who was already looking at her. She rolled her eyes and makes way inside after seeing couple off. He didn't waste time before rushing after her inside with their kids following behind this is their third fight in same month and they are always ready to witness this thrilling moment

"Shehnaaz!"

"Shehnaaz!"

"Shehnaaz!"

"Shehnaa-"

"KYA HAI!"

    Sidharth was actually taken aback by her response and halt clearing his throat as she comes closer with hands on her hips why she looks scary? He looks around to avoid eye-contact

"Since five of us are here. We are gonna have things cleared out because you four are getting on my nerves!"

"Me also?" Sidharth scoffed in disbelief pointing at himself

"Especially you!" He scoffed again looking away not believing this

"Ummm what did we do?" Zaafir asked

"You like girl from garden?" Sidharth asked turning to look at his son with glares. Shehnaaz winced at his harsh way! Girl from garden! Is he insane, that's why she always prefer speaking on his behalf when family is involved because he has no filter on his mouth

"Mahanooor. Yes." He answered confidently

"She's minor haramkhor!"

"It's not like I'm doing anything! You don't have control over your feeling and mine are as pure as it should be, isn't muma 13 years younger than you." Zaafir pointed at his mother

"I married her when she was 20."

"You knew her since she was 15. You are man after all don't tell me you never had any feeling towards her!" Oh he's so dead Ziya and Ziva both knows when Mir shah clenched his fist while looking at his son for stating some facts

"You know what you need? Ek achi si maar." Mir shah folded his sleeves and before he could advance towards his son. Three of female covered him like shield with Shehnaaz at front

"You can't hit him Mir-Sahab!"

"You heard him."

"He didn't mean it that way please chorde na." She pleaded with glassy eyes. He clenched his jaw while looking at her

"Baba-jani please!"

"Baba!"

    He stepped back letting them take breath they were holding. Zaafir was about to open his mouth and say something on which Ziya immediately covered his mouth and glare at him. Their father isn't in just right mood and it's better to not temp him anyone

"And you whom do you have crush on now?" Now it was Ziya's turn and she's freaking now oh no, she gulped stepping forward while pointing at herself. Sidharth nodded with sarcasm. She chuckled nervously

"Human."

"Name of human." He's not gonna let this go

"It's arbaaz." She whispers

"Who!" Zaafir was one who came forward with surprised expressions. Ziva tried to hide her happiness "No you can't marry him! He's not right for you!"

"Are you her father?" Sidharth glare at his son

"Lekin baba-"

"She will marry whoever she wants if you can do it. She will do it as well and no man has guts to hurt or harm my daughter." He declared

"Really!" Ziya wide her eyes

"Hmm."

   She squealed with happiness. His anger seems to vanish at adorable happy sound she mad. He tried to not smile. Ziya hugged Shehnaaz who pouts hugging back her daughter. Ziva also joins them. Okay it's not for herself she's also happy for her elder sister who would finally marry for love and man she wants instead of arrange marriage

"Now Ziva gets to engaged with person she likes shayan problem solved right?" Shehnaaz asked wiping her tears

"I knew it!"

"I knew it!"

    Zaafir and Ziya both said it same time, making young girl blush well she was very obvious with her behaviour that it was impossible not to notice. Zaafir noticed before anyone but let her say it first. He kissed Ziya than Ziva on head before turning to his mother and giving her kiss on cheek as well. She awwed at his blush and kiss him on cheek as well. Zaafir looked at his father with hesitation and clears his throat

"Muma and baba."

"Bolo."

"I'm sorry if I said something wrong. You know I love you both and I would never want to hurt you with my words-"

"We know relax ."

    Sidharth patted his head with sigh leaving his mouth as Zaafir hugged him. His sisters awwed anger is man's best enemy whoever said this was right. Decision taken in anger always makes you regret and he's thankful that he has always been pulled back from making such mistakes and credit goes to his wife. Not only today she always is pulling him back and never letting him make any move in anger he's grateful to have her. Have them all

"Shehnaaz." He grabbed her hand who was about to make her leave

"Jee?" Look she already forgot she was angry at him and words he said to her. Even god himself gets upset if you hurt such kind hearted person who loves you so much

"I'm sorry for earlier. You are best mother and wife, I meant not even single word. Maaf krdo I will never say such words ever again I promise." He wraps arms around her and pulled her head against his chest to hug her. She hugged him back

"Maaf kiya Mir-sahab." She pressed on his chest and lifted face to look at him through her lashes

"Itna jaldi?"

"Naraz reh kar kya karu. Bore he hojaugi." She whispers. He chuckles kissing her forehead right because he's only one who doesn't bore her. He remembers

"Because I don't bore you." He raise an eyebrow

"Because you are only person who doesn't bore me." She agrees with cute smile. He hummed pulling her more closer

"What about those boys who hit on you even after knowing you are Mir shah's wife, how many were they huh?" He teased and she pretended to count such a vixen. "Gino Gino and 1 boy= one blowjob." She stoped at smack his chest in disbelief before looking behind at her kids to see if they heard. They are busy gossiping

"Zero." She smiles playfully at him and gets out of his grip to leave. He follows her behind. Their kids didn't mind them roz ka hai inka soch kar they continued their talks

"Achaa ek toh hoga hi."

"Nah." She giggles

"Half."

"Huh?"
