"Muskaan ... tum mujhe ek chance dogi na" Rohail's hopeful eyes were conveying the desperate state of his mind ... he wanted a chance!!

"Mera dimaag kaam nahin kar raha" Muskaan sighed rubbing her forehead

"Tumhe kuch waqt chahiye" Rohail asked with slumped shoulders

"Nahi...khaana"

"Kya.." Rohail frowned at the unexpected demand

"Khaana chahiye....jaa kar mere liye ek plate bana kar le aayein" Muskaan ordered blowing on her nails

"Ye tum dono bhai-behen ne mujhe naukar samakh liya hai.......us Asim ke bachche ne mujhse subah subah pure ghar ke bartan dhulwa daale" Rohail cursed his brother in law, which was not liked by his lovely wife who snarled.."Hai hi nahin taakat toh mai kya karun"

"Taakat...tumhare bhai ne mujhe harwa diya us din"

"Huh....excuses.."

"Excuses........you think I am making excuses" Rohail couldn't bear the humiliation

"Aur kya......khaana office se bina chhue ghar layenge toh shareer me taakat kahaan se aayegi..." Muskaan took a jab

"Tum apna grudge nikaal rahi ho mujhse" Rohail pouted

"Haan...aur marte dum tak nikaalungi"

"Matlab tum zindagi bhar mere sath rahogi..." His eyes lit up

"Kyun....alag reh kar bhi badle nikaale jaa sakte hain...ghar toh aapka bagal me hi hai........haan agar mere hone waale shohar kahin bahar ke hue toh problem ho jayegi" Muskaan bit her inner cheeks

"What the.........aur ye jo tumhara jeeta jaagta shohar khada hai.." Rohail shouted at the audacity of his wife who shrugged in response
"You are keen on practising celibacy na......toh humaari marriage aise hi annule ho jayegi"

"Tumhe kaise pata chal gaya...tum toh mere sapne me nahin thi" 

"Kaun sa sapna...ye toh haqeeqat hai..." Muskaan had a smirk on her face......her husband bad been blabbering this in his sleep since the time he landed in Dubai.

"Ma..mai consummate karne ke liye taiyaar hun..let's do it" Rohail was now opening his shirt buttons

"Kya..halwa hai kya..." Muskaan exasperated

"Halwa beech me kahaan se aa gaya.....don't distract me...." Rohail marched towards his wife throwing his shirt away

"Arre...din hai abhi....aur waise bhi mujhe bhookh lagi hai"

"Let's tire ourselves some more then I will order your favourite dishes..zyaada bhookh lagegi toh zyaada ache se khaa paogi"

"Baat toh theek hai..lekin" Muskaan couldn't complete her sentence as her husband silenced her with a hard kiss slowly pushing her on the bed..

Muskaan arched her back when Rohail's kisses shifted to her collar bone....

"Bhai..chalein bartan dhoyein..bahut aaraam ho gaya" Asim shouted from the other side making Muskaan push Rohail who took some time to get into his senses....."Muski..." he whined but the next knock made him scowl..
"Asim ke bache .. mai bahar nikal gaya na teri khair nahin..yahin chhod kar chala jaunga tujhe apne Zubair bhai ke paas"

"Huh...meri behen apne iklaute bhai ke sath aisa nahin hone degi"
Asim shouted back

"Tumhari behen meri biwi hai...."

"Toh kya hua... kaha tha na maine..Saari khudai ek taraf joru ka bhai ek taraf...ab zyaada natak na karein aur aa kar mujhe plate dein dho kar"

"Tu ruk" Rohail wore his shirt and opened the door only to receive a fake gasp..."Meri shirt kab nikaali aapne"

Rohail looked at himself and scoffed "Tumhari shirt....."

"Haan jo maine pichle mahine churaai thi aapke wardrobe se" Asim fought back

"Matlab chori ka itna gumaan maine kisi ke chehre par aaj tak nahin dekha" Rohail shook his head...

"Haan toh kitne risk hote hain" Asim frowned "Mujhe waapas kar dijiyega aur abhi ke liye chalein kitchen me"

"Achha ek minute......mai zara apna lunch order kar lun Pizza Hut se" Rohail took out his phone and here Asim's mouth salivated.."Kya order kar rahe hain"

"1 cheese burst .. ek Chicken supreme..phir soch raha hun Subway se bhi kuch manga  lun"

"Mere liye bhi pizza aur burger manga dein"

"Bartan kaun dhoyega"

"Aap aaraam karein..mai Ashar ko kaam par lagata hun" Asim licked his lips and grinned at the thought of melted cheese in his mouth.

Closing the door, Rohail raised his brows at Muskaan and smiled"Shall we continue"

"No.."

"Why..."

"Because I don't want it"

"Jhooti...you were enjoying it a few moments ago"

"Rohail.....mujhe bhook lagi hai" Muskaan whined

"Okay Tintin sahiba..aapki favourite dishes order kar diye gaye hain"

"Ab toh Tintin bulaana band karein..mai aapki biwi hun"

"Haan toh .......... ab toh mujhe tum par aur pyaar aata hai....Tinu chalega" Rohail pulled Muskaan's cheek

"Please....I don't want to embarrass our kids in future"

"Kids..waah...even I want more than one" Rohail grinned

"Aur aap abhi chup nahi hue na to aapki life time celibacy ke oath ko sach kar dungi"

"Now you are blackmailing me..."

"Haan toh........"

"Okay..you can" Rohail pouted and dropped himself next to his blackmailer who ruffled his hair in affection.

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

Zubair was on the couch when suddenly Maham jumped on his lap straddling him....next she hugged him tight.

"Kya hua Mahi"

"Aap bahut ache hain....." she sniffed

"Acha"

"Hmmm...bahut achhe"

"Aur tumhe ye ehsaas achanak se kaise hua.."

"Mai abhi apni friend se baat kar rahi thi aur usne mujhe ehsaas karwaya ki aap world ke best husband ho" she sniffed more

"Well .. thankyou..."

"Maine dusron ke husbands ke bare me suna toh man kiya sabko ek ek jooti maar ke aaun........matlab koi kisi ko physically assault kaise kar sakta hai" Maham was on fire

"Wo log insaan nahin hote Mahi..they are bloody criminals" Zubair gritted his teeth

"Mai kitni lucky hun..ye mujhe aaj pata chala aur ehsaas bhi hua....Mai bahut childish hun mujhe pata hai...but ab mai aapko pyaar karne ke sath sath pasand bhi karne lagi hun.......I used to love you because you were family but now I love you for the person you are"

"Mahi badi ho gayi teen dinon me" Zubair was impressed

"Haan"

Zubair chuckled and then started laughing "What do I do with you..you brat"

"Ummm...make love to me"

Zubair raised his brows.."Ready ho aap"

"Hmm..kabhi na kabhi toh karna hai na...dar ke kya hoga" Maham murmured

"Tumhe dar lagta hai?" Zubair held her chin

"Hmm..bahut pain hota hai na.."

"I will try my best to minimise the pain sweetheart"

"I trust you" Maham whispered and hugged him.

Zubair walked towards the bed with his wife in his arms to fulfill her wish.

After an hour or so, the couple was basking in the aftermath of their union....
"Mujhe bhook lag rahi hai..." Maham whispered in Zubair's naked chest

"Raat me toh tumne bahut khaya tha" Zubair frowned squeezing her stomach

"Haan..toh meri saari energy chali abhi gayi na"

"I did the most of the work..and you are famished" Zubair hovered over her bare body and fondled her breasts

"Aap toh hain hi bade waale shaitaan...aap ko kya energy ki kami hogi......aah" Maham hissed when he went inside the comforter and sucked her buds.

"Zubair.... laa dein na kuch" she started whining making Zubair finally come out of the bed..."Kya khaogi"

"Maine raat me kuch pasta chhupa kar rakha tha apne liye microwave me...wo le aayein" Maham sat up collecting the sheet around her

"Khaane ki chori...matlab is ghar me band nahin hogi" Zubair shook his head and getting dressed up went in search of his wife's Pasta.

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

"Wo fruits pass karein Bhai" Maham smiled at Rohail on the breakfast table

"Kya baat hai aaj tum apna regular egg sandwich nahin khaa rahi.."

"Thoda light khaa rahi hun kyunki abhi hum ghoomne jaane wale hain..Muski ka wo college friend bhi aayega humaare sath"
Maham winked at Zubair who first frowned but then understood his wife's tactics

"Theek hai..tumlog theek se jaana..zyaada khurafat karne ki zarurat nahin hai" Zubair mockscolded Maham who bobbed her head

"Mai rahunga na Bhai..aap befikra rakhein" Rohail smiled taking an omelette in his plate

"Nahin yaar..Mujhe tumhaari zarurat hai Qureshis wale project me......pehle tumhari company se tie up reh chuka hai na unka"

"Haan bhai...but hum kal nahin kar sakte?"

"Nahin yaar...aaj hi wind up karna hai deal...aur waise bhi Muskaan ka friend bhi toh hai..wo dhyaan rakhega uska..mera matlab un sab ka" Zubair looked serious

"Wo kyun dhyaan rakhega...Muskaan tum aaj mat jaao..mai kal tumhe ghumaane le jaaunga" Rohail spat in jealousy

"What is this behaviour Rohail....jaane do use" Zubair reprimanded in a strict tone

"Bhai..aap beech me naa bolein...she is my wife" Rohail was going highly insecure

"Mai uska bada bhai hun aur mai keh raha hun Muskaan jayegi" Zubair said in a final tone

"Aur mai uska shohar hun aur mai keh raha hun wo nahin jayegi" Rohail stood up

"Waah......maza aa raha hai phir se dono bhid gaye" Maham passed a cheeky grin towards her gang who too were eager to see the drama....yes Muskaan was no less.

"Zubair sahi keh rahe hain...wo bade hain.." Maham took her husband's side

"Ye kaun sa logic hai....."

"The great Maham's logic..." Maham posed in an elegant style

"Dekh lein apni biwi ke logics" Rohail scoffed at Zubair "Toh sahi toh hain..she is intelligent"

Maham showed her teeth to every person present on the table receiving her first virtual trophy.

"Sau baat ki ek baat Muskaan nahin jayegi" Rohail looked at Muskaan who was gobbling on her breakfast and didn't oppose

Rohail passed a victory smile to Zubair who just smirked in return.

"Acha breakfast ho gaya...ab chalo" Muskaan wiped her mouth and squealed

"You are not going na" Rohail frowned

"Says who...." Muskaan flipped her hair.."Aap ne dekhi nahin mai apni favourite dress pehle se pehen kar baithi hun"

"Tintin mai mana kar raha hun na"

"Arre mai thode bhaag jaungi kisi ke sath...don't you trust me"

"I trust you ... but wo tumhara dost mujhe acha nahin lag raha"

"Aap mile bhi nahin hain usse aur aapko wo acha nahin lag raha....ab aapka logic kahaan gaya" Maham twitched her lips making Rohail see red.

"Calm down calm down...aisa koi dost hi nahin hai...Aapi was just having fun" Muskaan revealed seeing Rohail go all melodramatic.

"Kya.....mai chhodunga nahin is Mahi ki bachi ko" Rohail gritted his teeth

"Acha...chhu kar dikhaana zara" Zubair challenged

"Bhai...aap use aur bigaad rahe hain"

"Wo tumhe sudhaar rahi thi......." Zubair just spoke a line laced with warning as both Asim and Ashar were present there.

"Chalo mazaak khatm..ab ready ho jao.....hum sab bahar jaa rahe hain" This time Zubair announced making everybody run to their rooms

"Rohail" he stopped Rohail

"Bhai..mai kuch nahi karunga Mahi ko.."

"Really ...." Zubair passed disappointed look
"Pata hai mai tumhe bahut samajhdaar samajhta tha...lekin"

"I am sorry Bhai" Rohail caught up on the context and immediately apologised

"Agar tum shaadi se khush nahin bhi the toh ye kaun sa tareeka tha berukhi dikhaane ka........aur agar stand lena tha toh pehle hi le lete..."

"Bhai .. kuch misunderstandings thin...ab sab theek ho gaya hai..." Rohail looked away

"Jo kuch bhi ho..agar maine Muskaan ko tumhaari wajah se udaas dekha toh mujhse bura koi nahin hoga" Zubair threatened

"Ji...." Rohail just looked down feeling ashamed of his acts...

"Ab jao...." Zubair ruffled his hair and tapped his head which made Rohail smile.."Thank you for giving me a chance..."

"Mere bas me hota toh mai nahin deta" Zubair said in a light tone

"Mai jaa raha hun taiyyar hone" Rohail was not getting good vibes from his brother in law now...it's better he left.

Zubair smiled at Rohail's retreating back and marched towards his own room.

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

"Mai nahin jaa raha" Asim whined only to be dragged inside the horror house.

"Chalo maza aayega" Rohail picked him a little and forcibly brought him inside.."saare hain yahaan"

"Bhai..kis janam ka badla nikaal rahe hain aap mujhse"

"Isi janam ka.." Rohail laughed "Bade bartan dhulwayein hain mujhse"

While the others were not at all scared, Asim was on the verge of wetting his pants. Horror and Asim were two different concepts.......

"Aaahhhh" Asim screamed when Ashar all of a sudden hugged him...."Saale meri kabra yahin khodni hai kya...mai mara na kisi ko nahin bakshunga"

"Phir isi horror house me tumhara kaam lagwa dunga" Rohail giggled

"Muski aur Mahi aapi ko dekho....kuch fark hi nahin pad raha..Zubair bhai ka phir bhi samajh aata hai ki rishtedaaron ke ghar aaye hain lekin.." Asim was rambling to keep himself sane

Finally getting out, he started punching Ashar who was laughing like anything.."Tune hi idea diya na Bhai ko"

"Oye..bahar hain humlog" Zubair hit Asim's head making him pout..

"Acha chalo tumhara mood theek karne ke liye Meena bazaar chalte hain" Rohail said to get a full fledged smile from his younger brother in law.

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

"Ye inka aaj khatma hoga" Zubair  looked at his watch

"Bahut dinon ke baad desi street food par dhaava bola hai inhone..time toh lagega" Rohail smiled seeing Muskaan hog on Paw Bhaji with her glutton gang

"Zubair..yeh lein" Maham asked Zubair to open his mouth...

"Bahut teekhi hai.." Zubair made a face

"Aap toh itne me see see karne lagte hain" she twitched her lips and didn't bother to share her next panipuri but then ordered for a sweet puri for her husband.

"Mujhe nahin khilaogi.." Rohail whispered in Muskaan's ears....."Kyun aapke haath nahin hain.."

"Yaar.. tum na" he made a face .. "Bahut unromantic ho"

"Celibacy kaun practice kar raha hai" Muskaan scoffed

"I will break that tonight....just be prepared" Rohail warned taking a morsel of her paav bhaaji.

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

"Rohail....chalein aaj hum Friends dekhte hain" Muskaan came out of the washroom all changed in her night suit and picked up her laptop.

"Nahin mujhe neend aa rahi hai" Rohail yawned and covered himself head to toe with the blanket...."Aur lights off kar ke tum bhi aao..kal dekhenge"

Muskaan thought for sometime and then kept the laptop back on the table.....

"Aaj kuch zyada thand nahin lag rahi..." she asked packing herself inside the comforter

"Thodi der me theek ho jayegi...." Rohail murmured

And just after ten minutes, Muskaan started feeling warm owing to her husband's fingers which were playing with her navel......

"Ye kya kar rahe hain aap"

"Tumhe nahin pata.." Rohail's voice lacked any grogginess and that made her realize that he was acting all along..."AC remote kahaan hai..aapne temperature down ki na"

"Hmm....because we are going to feel hot " with that he started placing wet kisses on her lips and chin ... Muskaan shivered feeling her shirt geeting rolled up in a bunch on her chest.

Next, she  gasped feeling her husband's naked chest on hers....she could feel his hard contours and truth be told she loved it. The intensity of his  kisses was increasing with time and she could only whimper in pleasure.

Getting themselves out of the fabrics, Rohail looked into Muskaan's eyes intently and she kissed him pouring out all her feelings. He let her take the charge and took a turn bringing her up.

They finally slept in the wee hours of the morning making up for the lost time. They were content now...

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

"Bhai...mai wapasi tickets kata raha hun" Rohail said only to be countered by Maham.."Please ... abhi nahin bhai..ek hafta aur"

"Mahi....office ka bahut sara kaam hai aur Abbu akele hain"

"In dono ko chhod raha hun..." Rohail pointed at Asim and Ashar "Inke college ko khulne me abhi aur dus din hain na"

"Saaf saaf kyun nahin keh rahe ki aap kharch se bachna chahte hain...Muski ..tumhare bhai ke sath kya sulook ho raha hai dekho" Asim complained to his sister who looked at her husband.."Sab ki tickets karwayenge aap"

"Ji ....."  Rohail said Yes in a heartbeat

"Wohooo Muski...not bad" Maham cheered for her sister "Zubair.... aap bhi meri baat aise hi maan liya karein"

"Jee Jaan e Zubair" Zubair gave a full blown smile taking everyone by surprise with his changed avtaar......Uff..ye ULFAT !!

"Kya kehte ho..dus din yahin guzaar liya jaye...Zubair bhai toh mast aadmi nikle" Asim whispered in Ashar's ears

"Haan par ab bartan humein dhone padenge"

"Hmm..bad idea..let's go back !!"

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

"Abbu ... pit thik se" A three year old had donned on a pair of oversized shades probably owned by her father and was now posing

"Aashi .. Abbu thak gaye" Zubair tried to look worn out and his daughter had nearly obliged but next second his wife's voice rang out and again she went into her photoshoot mode "Aashu ek table par chad ke pose do....hayye meri beti kitni pyaari lag rahi hai......Mai hun itni sundar"

"Mahi....mai uske already 100 pictures click kar chuka hun"

"Bas...." Maham frowned "Birthday hai..kam se kam hazaar toh honi chahiye" she passed a flying kiss to her daughter who smiled on her mother's instructions..."Acha baba aap jayein thoda aaraam kar lein party se pehle" she finally had some mercy on her husband and took the camera in her hands.

"Phupho meri bhi..." A boy came running and stood on the chair next to the birthday girl

"Arre Abby...Mama kahaan hai..."

"Aa rahi hain..." Abraar next hugged Aashna and both the babies posed together.

"Abby...present diya aapne" Muskaan's voice made Maham turn and hug her.."My gorgeous beauty"

"Mama...mai toh bhool hi gaya" Abraar climbed down and pulled the gift from his mother's hands.

"Happy budday Aashi" he kissed Aashna's chubby cheek and wished her.

"Ye mera beta Zubair bhai se pitega ek din" Muskaan giggled remembering Zubair's glare when Abraar kissed Aashna on his third birthday infront of him.

"Aise kaise....mere bete ko haath laga kar dikhaayein" Maham picked Abraar in her arms and smothered his face with kisses

"Mama..mela budday hai" Aashna pouted seeing his mother cuddle Abraar and not her.

"Here you go my birthday girl" Rohail came from behind and picked her up. Aashna squealed getting tossed in the air...."Aul aul"

"Mehmaan aana shuru ho gaye hain..chalo chalo" Zeenat asked  everybody to come in the hall.

"Zubair and Maham made Aashna cut the cake and the enthusiastic girl put the first piece in her father's mouth earning a loud kiss.
"Aashu...pictures click karwaani hain" Maham blackmailed her daughter who immediately reversed her hand's direction with the half eaten cake...

She then ran to Abraar and fed him a big piece.

"Kya baat hai..aaj aap gussa nahin ho rahe" Maham was surprised seeing a calm and composed Zubair

"I have decided something...."

Maham raised her brows...

"Ise mai train karunga perfect son in law ke liye...waise bhi ye meri beti ka peecha chhodne wala hai nahin aur fortunately unfortunately meri beti ka yeh kuch zyada hi pasand hai" Zubair smirked

"Aap aur aapke plans..wo bas teen saal ke hain"" Maham sighed and then cut a big piece of cake for herself.....beti ka birthday hai bhai !!!

"Aao aaj Abbu khilayenge" Zubair place Aashna in his lap and fed her a morsel

"Maamu..mujhe bhi.." Abraar opened his mouth to which Zubair smiled and fed him too ...

"Abby..dinner nahin karna" Rohail came with a plate

"Mai Maamu ke plate se khaa raha hun" Abraar smiled at his father who took a seat next to Zubair shifting his son to his lap..."Bhai..abhi se damaad ki khaatirdaari kar rahe hain"
He whispered in Zubair's ears and giggled

"Dhyaan se...itna khilkhilaana bete par bhaari na pad jaye" Zubair glared

"My princess wouldn't allow any injustice to her best friend..." Rohail scoffed and cooed Aashna.

"Sab mile hue hain" Zubair murmured and ate a morsel himself to keep away from the anxiety...it was 8 years ago when he signed up for this crazy world and no.. he was not at all repenting .. he was content with his life....... with some panic attacks here and there !!

Ulfat me barabar ho wafa ho ki jafa ho

Har baat me lajjat hai agar dil me maza ho

Barabar khafa hon barabar manayein

Na tum baaz aao na hum baaz aayein
