"Kabir" a voice striked Kabir's ear drums early in the morning but he moaned and again went to sleep...he was too sleepy as he had just slept a few hours ago

But seemed like the source of the voice was in no mood to grasp this fact because the next second "Kabir" boomed in the whole room making him open his eyes at once.

The source will pay for ruining his sleep ...he lifted his head with sleep deprived eyes...and before he could yell, the retina of his played its role and was too quick to send his brain the message that his dear wife was standing before him.

As soon as the message reached the brain...an unexpected quick response got delivered.

"Motto....it's you ..." he flew out of the bed throwing the comforter and hugged Aazeen tight lifting her up. Her fragrance just made him feel home.

"Oye...kya leech ki tarah chipak gaya hai mujhse" Aazeen smiled rubbing his shoulder but the hold got even more tight.

"Are you trying to murder me..." Aazeen gasped for air as she felt like her bones would get crushed with the tight hug

"Chup kar....kamzor ho kar aayi hai..aur faltu bakwaas kar rahi hai" Kabir came out of the hug and cupped her one cheek.

"What has gotten into you.." Aazeen was surprised

"Aaah nothing...it's just that I am seeing you after so many days na" he said softly

"Kabir just 2 weeks" she rolled her eyes

"Between what have you done to yourself?" Aazeen had a close look at his face which had become pale.

"Tu chali gayi thi na..."

"Divorce ke baad chali jaungi tab toh mar hi jayega nai" Aazeen laughed but Kabir stood there blank with his eyes following Aazeen everywhere in the room.

-------------------------

"Kya hua...you look worried" Shamir asked Aazeen on the dining table as he saw her playing with the food.

"PG k forms aa gaye hain ...aur mai project me busy hun...kaise hoga sab.....I wanted to enroll this year itself)" Aazeen pouted with worry lines over her forehead.

"Don't worry. ...I take this responsibility" Kabir butted in . Everyone was done with the breakfast except these three.

"Arre nahin..tum kyu karoge " she didn't want to bother him...

"Free me nahi kar raha...waqt aane par hisaab barabar kar lunga" Kabir winked

"Ahahan bhai toh phir se chahakne lage" Shamir hooted making Kabir smile

"Done" Aazeen smiled but started panicking when her eyes went to the clock..."Shit only 15 minutes are left...bhaag beta"

"Chalo drop kar deta hun..." Kabir was not leaving any opportunity to be with her...

Seeing no other option Aazeen agreed and followed him.

It took them 10 minutes to reach Aazeen's office

"Thank you Kabira" Aazeen smiled and got out...

"Kabira" Kabir made a face at the new nick name....

Aazeen had only entered her cubicle when a boy went down on his knee before her "Aazeen Shah.... I love you"

Aazeen frowned "Chapet laga deni hai mujhe"
The boy immediately stood up and started laughing "Sorry sorry....Raima just dared me to do this"
Aazeen gave a smack to the boy and let it go but somebody was filled with range seeing this...

Kabir had found one of Aazeen's files in the car and had followed her only to get the shock...

But he couldn't do anything right now...he just gave the file to the peon and returned to his car..

"Damn it" Kabir hit the steering not able to control his anger

Reaching office...he called his assistant in the cabin...

He had to do something about this...the scene had been revolving in his mind torturing him every second..

"She is mine...my wife..." he murmured "I won't let you go ever Aazeen Kabir Ali"

He came out of his thoughts hearing the knock on his cabin door. ."Come in"

Sameer, his assistant entered with a file.

"Sameer...collect PG forms of all the prestigious colleges in the city...I want to have one admission. ...you will get a call from her after an hour...so just verify all the details with her " Kabir ordered while typing something on the laptop..

"Ok sir. ..." Sameer smiled and turned to go when Kabir called his name

"Aaah Sameer collect all the details and come in the cabin..."

"Sure sir"

---------------------

Few weeks later

"Aazeen Ali" Aazeen was shocked to see her name as she clearly remembered she had given the name Aazeen Shah to Sameer when he was asking for all the details ...

And in an hour she was standing in Kabir's cabin.

"Sameer how could you make such a mistake...I had repeatedly told you .. Aazeen Shah..Aazeen Shah.." Kabir roared at Sameer who was in a shock.

"Kabir calm down...ho jata hai" Aazeen didn't like the way he was scaring his poor assistant.

And here, Sameer went into a flashback...

"Sir....Aazeen Shah ke naam se ek folder maine aap ko send kar diya hai..ek baar aap dekh lein " Sameer informed after collecting all the details

"Aazeen Ali" Kabir said in a clipped tone..

"But sir her internship certificates"

"Aazeen Ali ...am I clear?" and that tone was enough for Sameer

Sameer came out of his thoughts hearing his name

"Ye yes sir"

"Accompany Aazeen to her college and gets the changes done"

"Ji sir" Sameer nodded

Aazeen exited the cabin and Sameer was following her when Kabir again stopped him "Sameer"

"Yes sir"

"Make sure the name" Kabir was cut short in between

"Don't worry sir the name will get corrected" Sameer smiled

"An aa an ...... make sure it remains as it is..." He smirked making Sameer confused

"But..."

"No buts do as I say...and u will get a raise" Kabir said playing with the paper weight on his table

"Ah OK sir..." finally Sameer was out of the cabin.

-------------------

"Sir ...it's just the surname which has to be changed" Aazeen had been requesting the administrator for an hour but seemed like he was not going to take any excuses..

"Ma'am let me talk...aap waiting roon me wait kijiye" Sameer asked Aazeen to sit in the waiting hall so that he could have a man to man talk.

"Sir...I know a copy of marriage certificate was attached..but now " Sameer was doing his work by giving the officer more ways to not comply.

After waiting for some time Aazeen decided to go and see Sameer

"Dekhiye...the name cannot be changed. ..it's registered. ...hamare paas bas yahi kaam baaki nahi reh gaya...session has just started. ..so " this time some rudeness was there in the tone of the man...

"It's ok Sameer....let it be" Aazeen came and stopped Sameer from requesting more. She came back to the office with Kabir as Raniya had a plan with her in the evening. Raniya was asked by Azeem to resume her training...so she was in the office.

Raniya was waiting at the reception area for Aazeen. She was oblivious of an adoring gaze which was all over her for quite some time now.

Kabir was going for a meeting when he saw Raniya and smiled at her "Aur aaj bunk mara ja raha hai..."

"Nahi bhai...bas Zee Aapi ka intizaar kar rahin hun"

"Zee...?"

"Aazeen aapi ne bola is naam se bulane ko" Ranjya smiled to which Kabir shook his head at his wife's wierd obsession with nick names.

"Acha jao..ache se enjoy karna" Kabir patted her head like a big brother and left.

-----------------------------
Later in the evening, Azeem was deeply immersed in a file when he got disturbed by a knock

"Come in" He straightened himself

"Hello Mr. Ali..." two men came inside wearing a smile

"Arre aaein aaein..." Azeem stood up and shook hands with both the men..

"Aaj kaise aana hua...." Azeem was surprised

"Mai toh project ke silsile me baat karne aaya tha but Shehryar ke mijaz ne ab topic of discussion badal diya hai" Mr Malik gave a knowing smile to his son.

"Jee mai kuch samjha nahin" Azeem was clueless

"Baat toh mujhe Faizan ji se karni chahiye thi...but guess what my son is too impatient"

Taking a pause, Mr Malik finally spoke
"Hum ek rishta le kar aaye hain"

"Rishta....kis ke liye?" Azeem frowned

"Aapki behen ke liye "

"Jee...meri behen bahut chhoti hai.." Azeem immediately countered

"Sab bhaiyon ko aisa hi lagta hai...." Mr Malik smiled

"Mr Malik Sameera is just 13..." Azeem felt exasperated

"Aap galat samajh rahe hain..hum aapki dusri behen Raniya ki baat kar rahe hain"

"What..." the loud roar of Azeem just echoed in the cabin making both the men sitting opposite to him shudder.

"Azeem....mai sach me unhe bahut pasand ..."

"Shut up" Shehryar's lips got zipped seeing the rage in Azeem's red eyes..."How dare you"

"Azeem...humne kuch galat toh nahin kiya..hum bas rishta maang rahe hain...behen ki toh ek din"

"SHE IS MY WIFE" Azeem's shout exceeded the normal level of decibels creating a deafening silence.

"Aaah....we are so so.. sorry....hume galatfehmi ho gayi" Mr Malik was embarrassed to the core. He looked at his son who was in some other zone. But, a few minutes later, the realisation dawned upon him that he must have seen Raniya with Kabir.

Both father and son left in no time but the Azeem was shivering in anger and just then his phone rang.

Putting the call on loudspeaker, he rubbed his face

"Hello Azeem...mai Zee aapi ke sath mall me aayi hun....aap apne shirt ka size ka.."

"Just shut up....and go home...right now" the thunderous voice just made Raniya's voice quiver on the othet side
"Az...Azeem mai toh bas"

"Ek baar me baat samajh me nahin aati....ye bachpana chhodo....do somethinh ptoductive... office me bhi bas ghumna hai...bahar bhi ghumna hai...sharafat se ghar jao" Azeem was going on and on in his loud tone

"I...I am so..sorry.." listening to Raniya's voice, Azeem could make out that she was crying. He tried to say something when she cut the call. Cursing himself he hit the table. He had taken out all his anger on the poor soul.

On the other side,

"Hey..kya huwa" Aazeen saw Raniya's misty eyes

"Ku kuch nahin aapi.....humein ghar chalna chahiye...." Raniya wiped her tears

"Kya huwa...Azeem ne kuch kaha"

"Pata nahin..mujh par baras pade achanak se...maine bas shirt ka size pucha tha" Raniya was a pampered child in her house and just couldn't take the harsh words thrown her way.

"Tch...yeh husbands hote hi aise hain....bas rob chalana aata hai" Aazeen hugged Raniya comforting her

"Kabir bhai bhi aapko aise daant te hain"

"Uske pair na tod dun mai" Aazeen twitched her lips but then smiled "Kabir toh apna yaar hai..."

Raniya smiled a little and selected a few more clothes on Aazeen's insistence.

----------------

"Aaj Raniya aur Aazeen nahin dikh rahe.." Azeem hesitantly asked seening everybody but the two on the dining table

"Dono aaj bahar kha kar aayein hain" Anabia smiled

"Haan aur hamare liye bhi pack karwa kar laye the......." Hammad said grinning

"Phir bhi yahaan dikh rahe ho" Kabir hit his head

When Azeem had entered the room after coming from office, he didn't find Raniya there. She was with Sameera helping her with some sums.

And now when he entered after dinner, she was already in the bed reading a magazine.
Dropping himself next to her, he opened his mouth to say something but then closed it seeing a hint of anger on her face.

"Raniya...wo mera phone pass karna"
Raniya simply passed his phone without even removing her gaze from the magazine.

After sometime, Raniya switched off her side of the lights and laid down.

Guilt could be clearly seen in Azeem's eyes. Lying next to her, he removed her strands and kissed her on the forehead..."Sorry baby"

----------------

Next day also, Azeem was given a silence treatment from the morning itself.

He was just waiting for her afternoon call when she would check on him if he had lunch or not. It was past two, but he didn't get a call, instead a peon came inside with a food tray.

"Ye.."

"Raniya Madam ne bola tha"

A small smile came on Azeem's lips seeing her concern. He dialled her number "Hello"

"Could you please come in the cabin...haan mujhe thoda acha feel nahin ho raha"

Azeem felt bad to con his wife, but there was no option left. She was not at all talking to him.

After sometime, Raniya entered the cabin with a pouch in her hands.
Some worry lines were adorning her forehead..."Aap theek toh hain"

Without saying anything, Azeem walked upto the cabin's door and locked it.

"Darwaza band kyun kiya aapne"

"Kyunki apni pyaari si biwi ko manana tha"

"Toh ye sab natak tha..." Raniya had an accusatory tone.

"Kya karun..tum mere taraf dekh bhi nahi rahi thi"
Raniya looked at the other side seeing him approach her.

"I am sorry baby....really sorry...kal mera mood bahut kharab tha" Azeem tried to cup her face but she resisted moving her face away

"Itna gussa..." Azeem finally made her face him

"Ab kisi aadmi se uski biwi ka rishta maanga jaye toh wo kaise react karega"

"Kya" Raniya was shocked

"Ji...wo Shahryar Malik kal mujhse tumhara haath maang raha tha" again a rage passed through Azeem's veins

"Azeem mera yaqeen maanein...mujhe iske baare me kuch nahin pata" Raniya at once spoke up

"I know meri jaan....wo un logon ki galti thi"

"Par phir aap mujh par itne bure tareeke se kyun chillaye" Raniya pouted

"Because I am an idiot........please forgive this idiot husband of yours" Azeem joined his forehead with hers making her red.

"Oo..ok...I forgive you" Raniya was feeling butterflies in her stomach standing so close to him

"Bas bolne ke liye toh nahin keh rahi" Azeem asked looking into her eyes to which she nodded in No. Azeem smiled and gave an open mouth kiss on her cheek making her shudder.
