"Noor, Finally got time to meet us." Zyva said before sitting next to kehara. 

"Finally she remembered she has a sister in law and Best friend." Kehara teased.

"I know! It feels great to leave the house!"

"And you wish you could leave Iiman as well." Kehara said smiling. 

Noor looked at Iiman who was playing with the twins Amal and Keyaan. Noor shook her head,"Just for some time!"

Kehara laughed. "I know how difficult it is !"

"It must be more difficult for you." Zyva said looking at Kehara.

"It was! I won't lie I asked Allah so many times what wrong did I do to deserve that! If one was sleeping other one wanted to scream, if one wanted to eat then the other one wanted to sleep. If one was peacefully sleeping then the other one wanted to pinch!"

"Amal?" Zyva asked and kehara nodded. 

"Who else! There was always a crying baby! I was so done with them in just few mouths! I was so happy when I started working. A little time away from them made me realise that, even I have life, dreams and existence."

"I don't know how you do this Kehara! Seriously!" Noor exclaimed. 

"It's all worth it." She replied smiling, looking at her kids. 

"That's true!" Zyva said looking at them too. 

"When are you giving us a niece or nephew?" Noor asked Zyva to which she smiled. 

"When your kids are teenagers so they can babysit mine." 

"Smart!" Noor said raising her eyebrows. 

"So Noor ,how is life?" Kehara asked after some time.

"You are asking as if we are meeting after years."

"I don't want to know how you are in general. I want to know how is life with Zeeshan."

"Yes Noor! One year of being married. How is everything? How is your relationship with him now."

"Noor ! Iiman took your phone from your bag." Kehara said looking at Iiman. 

Noor turned to look at her. She took her bag from the chair and quickly closed it before Iiman could take anything else from it. 

"She will throw it." Zyva said after Iiman raised her hand. 

"It's ok. My poor phone got habitual to that now." 

"You want your phone to break?" Kehara asked.

"I'm just done with taking everything from her hand. Let it be."

Kehara smiled,"Ok. So now answer my question."

"Life with Zeeshan?" Noor said before taking a few seconds of break. Iiman came to Noor and extended her hand. "Amma." Noor smiled before taking her phone from her. "Thank you darling." Iiman then turned around and went back to playing with her cousins. "So yeah Zeeshan." Noor said after some time. "He is difficult. Irritating, annoying, control freak, demanding, caring, loving, kind, humble, sweet and a big idiot." Noor said with a big smile on her face making her friends smile. "He is a good person. You know when we got married, I used to feel so bad for myself. I used to think I have to be sad for the rest of my  life.I thought my life will be just like my mom's but it is not. Zeeshan is not dad. I'm so glad for that."

"You love him." Zyva said smiling. 

Noor laughed,"Well." Noor blushed and hesitated for a second before saying,"he earned it."

"I'm so happy for you Noor." Kehara said with a smile on her face. 

"I'm happy. He makes me happy." 

"This calls for a cheat day! Kehara please make a good feast for your only sister in law!" Zyva exclaimed.

"You are not her only sister in law." Noor said Immediately

"Her only bhabhi!" 

"Can I order something bhabhijaan?" Kehara asked Zyva.

"Pizza will work!" Zyva said Immediately

"Why are you dieting and working out so much! You don't need it." Noor said to Zyva.

"You don't open your mouth. You are slim trim model. I have started gaining weight."

"Kehara had gained weight as well but look now she  is a perfect model."

"She had babies? I had nothing."

"It's always good to work out and diet. We all should do that for our health." Kehara defended Zyva.

"Thank you kehara."

"I cannot do this without a reason ,dieting ! How can you not eat good stuff!" 

"You need a lot of courage for that!" Zyva said pointing at Noor.

"Noor definitely lacks courage or giving up food." Kehara said before taking her phone in her hand. 

"I will never leave food! Food is life!"

"For a girl who never gains weight no matter how much she eats, It's easy to say that!" Zyva said shaking her head.

"I'm so jealous of her for that! How can she not gain weight!" Kehara said. "Hey tell me fast what you all want to eat." 

Everyone told kehara what they wanted to eat and kehara placed an order. Then she went to the kitchen to make baby food. Once done with that she kept it on the table to cool down and sat back with her sisters in law. 

"So how is their business?" Noor asked.

"Alhumdulillah it better! It's so much better. It took them two years but now they are back on track." Zyva said. 

"Alhumdulillah! It's going great. They are not earning the huge profit they used to earn but it's sufficient for us to survive." Kehara said. 

"That's really great." Noor said smiling. 

"What about you?" Zyva asked.

"Same. No job no earning. Thank god his parents work but we don't take money from them. They pay for Iiman's expenses."

"Then how do you both survive?" Zyva asked.

"We have stopped spending money on unnecessary things! His parents pay for groceries and all the house bills. We have nothing else to send on. Just on travelling or if we need something. Shifting here was a good decision but  before we moved here we had already lost a lot of his savings. And Zeeshan tries to pay for some or the other bill or we go for groceries. So we have not much left." 

"InshaAllah everything will be fine soon." Kehara said rubbing Noor's hand. 

"InshaAllah." Noor said looking down. 

"What happened Noor?" Zyva asked. 

"I'm fine with all that but sometimes I just can't take it any more! You remember how much I used to spend on things! I used to go mall once a week and buy whatever I felt like. My mom always used to say me don't spend on unnecessary things and I thought those were necessary things. I wish I could understand that before. I always thing If i had saved that money then maybe now things would have been better."

"Hey, Everything will be fine soon. Trust Allah." Zyva said instantly. 

"I'm still scared. I don't know how long I can keep myself together! I have not bought a single things for myself since the day I got married! I know it's not a big thing but for me it is. Alhumdulillah for everything. It could have been worse."

"You are such a strong girl Noor." Kehara said. " I'm so proud of you!" 

"I'm proud of me too." Noor said making others smile. "Once I had money but I still didn't buy that beautiful red dress because we cannot spend money on such things. I felt so proud of myself!"

Zyva smiled,"You should be." 

Suddenly Iiman started crying loudly. They all looked where kids were playing. Noor quickly stood up and went to her. Kehara stood up as well and went to her kids. "What happened?" She asked her twins.

"Amal take doll." Keyaan said pointing at the doll in Amal's hand. 

Kehara looked at her daughter,"Amal! Why did you take that doll from her?"

"My doll." Amal said hugged the doll tightly. 

"She is your baby sister. You should always share. Give her that doll now!" 

"No!" Amal said shaking her head. 

"Amal!" Kehara said loudly. 

"Kehara it's ok." Noor said instantly. 

Keyaan instantly stood up and went to Noor. He pulled Noor's Dress. Noor bend on her knees. Noor made Iiman sit on her lap. Keyaan instantly extended his car towards Iiman. Iiman stared him for some time before taking the car from him. Keyaan looked at his mother and smiled widely. 

"Awwww! Kehara he is such a gentleman! You better save him for my daughter!" Zyva said.

"Hey he gave his car to my daughter!" Noor said Immediately

"So? He was being a nice elder brother!"

"No!"

"Uff girls! They are small kids! And Zyva your daughter has not even been conceived!" Kehara said. 

"I don't want my daughter to have mother in law like her." Noor said making a face.

"Yeah! But keyaan is too good! Kehara save him for my daughter!" 

Kehara shook her head with a smile on her face and went back to the couch. "Thank you keyaan." Noor said before kissing him. He quickly cupped her face and kissed her on her left cheek. Noor kissed on his nose this time and looked at Zyva, "Look! He loves me more."

"Keyu. Babu come here." Zyva said extending her hands. Keyaan instantly ran to her. She lifted him up and made him sit on her lap before looking at Noor. She smiled at Noor and Noor rolled her eyes. 

"My poor boy!" Kehara said shaking her head. "Amal." She said extending her hands towards her. She came running to her. "Say Sorry to Iiman." Amal looked at Iiman. "Ory."  

"Imu kiss Amal." Iiman being the obedient child kissed her cousin quickly. 

"Aw!" Zyva said. "You know what! You all should go for a good romantic dinner and leave your kids with me!"

"Our kids stay with their grandparents in this case." Noor said.

"they also deserve a romantic dinner! Please!" 

"Zyva is bored to hell these days." Noor said laughing.

"True! I need to start working again!" 

"Then start! They can now afford a new employee." Kehara said. 

"I cannot handle your brother 24×7! As if living with him is so easy to work under him as well." 

Kehara smiled widely,"I can understand. It would be a real torture." 

"And how can you handle someone 24×7? Even if you love that person a lot there is something irritating in them! I cannot bare Zeeshan that much! Being at home is enough." Noor agreed with Zyva. 

"That's true." Kehara said kissing her daughter. 

"So what will you do Zyva?"Noor asked. 

"I have something in my mind but I'm not saying anything now! Let me be sure first. You both will be the first one I will inform." 

"That's ok but Kehara look she is not even telling you her secret career. You want to make her daughter your bahu?"

***

Noor closed her eyes. It was a very hot day today and Hijab didn't help much. Now she was at home, in the living room without hijab and right in froth of the AC. She was relaxating when she heard some voice. She understood someone opened the door. She wanted to be alone but by now she was habitual to that and didn't mind it anymore. When she heard someone coming towards the room she opened her eyes and turned her face to see who it was. 

"Zeeshan." She said with a frown on her face. Zeeshan had tears in his eyes. Noor instantly stood up. She was too scared to go to him. Noor had never seen him like that. She knew if he was crying that means it would be something really bad. 

"What?" She slowly asked.

"Thinks worked between your friend's husband and me. We are opening our own practice soon." 

Noor started crying as soon as she heard that. Finally Zeeshan was going to start working. Finally he would start earning. Finally things would be better. She ran to him and hugged him tightly. Zeeshan hugged her back. They both had tears in their eyes but a smile on their lips. Although they were crying, they were extremely happy. 

"Alhumdulillah." Noor said.

"Alhumdulillah." Zeeshan said with a wide smile on his face.

Zeeshan was a emotional mess. He was happy, excited, sad, everything. He had never felt that before. He was happy. Happy. 

"Idiot Wildan!"

Noor frowned and pulled away,"What?"

"Nothing. Don't ruin the moment." He said before pulling her closer again. 

"Ok." She said before wrapping ping her hands around his neck. They were happy finally. They wanted that moment to pause forever but like always things had to be ruin. 

"Is that Iiman crying?" Zeeshan asked.

"Yes. I will go and check her."

"Ok."

Noor saw Zeeshan was upset with that so she quickly gave a peck on his cheek and ran to Iiman. He smiled widely before turning to look at her. She did not look back and went to Iiman straight. Iiman was crying because she was alone in the room and even after calling for her parents many times, no one came so she got scared and started crying. 

"I'm here. I'm here. I'm here." Noor said while walking towards her. She took her in her hands. "Don't cry baby. I'm here."It took a minute to make her stop crying. Iiman was still sleepy so Noor took the advantage of the situation. When Noor decides to do something she makes sure that happened. In few minutes Iiman was sleeping again. She was watching Iiman sleep when Zeeshan came in the room. 

"She slept again?"

"Yeah."

Zeeshan went and stood next to Noor, looking at their daughter , sleeping peacefully. 

"She is so cute." Noor said.

"Just like you." 

Noor smiled widely,"I know!"

Zeeshan shook a head but after that he smiled," I earned to be loved by you? You think I'm caring, loving, humble?"

Noor's eyes became wide,"What!?"

"Noor Ali Khan Loves me! Should I celebrate it?"

"What what what?" Noor said moving away from him. 

"You love me!"

"Who is the traitor?"

"my darling daughter Iiman."

Noor frowned,"She cannot talk."

"But she is smarter than her mother!"

Noor frowned deeper,"What?"

"She accidently called me. Where was the phone when you were talking about how much you were in love with me."

Noor rolled her eyes,"I don't know. She gave me the phone, then it was in my hand."

"Where was your hand?"

Noor frowned again and "Ah." She tried to think where her phone was. she closed her eyes when she remembered where her hand was. "I was resting my head on my hand. It was so near to my mouth! That's why!"

Zeeshan started laughing,"Perfect!"

Noor moved further away. She was feeling embarrassed and silly. She wanted to run away from him. But Zeeshan went to her and grabbed her hand. "You are embarrassed that you love me."

"No! i just didn't want you to hear me!"

"Why?"

"What why? Who would want that?"

"I liked hearing that ,so me!"

"But do you want me to hear confessing your love for me? You won't even confess!"

Noor looked away, feeling angry about the whole situation. Zeeshan took her other hand and pulled her closer. "I was having a bad time and I was really angry and nervous. But when you said that I forgot all my worries and smiled like an idiot! Do you know why?"

"Because you love to tease me."

He pulled her closer,"No because that made me happy. Because you make me happy. Because you are important to me and because Wildan is an idiot and I don't care about him."

Noor frowned again,"Why is Wildan coming again and again?"

"Forget that. Conserntrate on us."

"I'm. You are the one who should be reminded of that."

"I never thought I would ever say this but you are amazing. You are one of the best person I have ever met in my live. I never realised this before but I'm so happy to be related to you. I feel lucky to be your husband. You and our little girl are the best things that happened to me. Thank you Noor for always being there for me. When I lost my job the first things that came in my mind was that you would leave me but you didn't. You never gave money more importance than me. I can keep talking and there won't be an end. So let's cut things short. Thank you for being there for me and for tolerating me. Thank you for everything. And I love you."

Noor by now had tears in her eyes. She was not expecting that. When she was a teenager she always used to make scenarios in her head about how her prince charming would propose her but never ever she imagined it would be so perfect. Never ever she imagined it would be Zeeshan. 

"I love you too."
