Laila

I cannot stop myself from thinking about last night it was special I have never felt something like that, I love it whenever I'm around him my heart thumps like crazy against my chest and how my thoughts go frenzy. He has some kind of power on me, magical control over me which pulls me towards him I roll over as the sunlight making its way to the sky making it bright and happy just like my mood today, usually, I don't wake up until the sun is up but today I have been up since it scattered the light making it look beautiful, I met with Amaan's hard chest snuggling up in his embrace, he puts his arm around me his chin on my head "you look even more beautiful in the morning" he whispers smile crept up my lips and tint of red on my cheeks I'm sure.

He brings his fingertips under my chin my eyes shut he plants a soft kiss on my lips"good morning Piharwa" he whispers claiming my lips again, I pull away hesitantly.

(Piharwa - Beloved)

"What happened did I do something wrong?" He asks in distasteful.
"No, no it's just I have morning breath and it's gross kissing like this" I giggle, and he let out a laugh his chest rumbling with the sound and I swear I have never liked a sound of anyone's laughter but his smile has magic.

"Okay, then let's get ready as we have to take a tour of the city Alaya has planned to go Kashmir Point, Mall Road and also to Patriata Chair Lift Road then we have to leave for Rawalpindi also," he says sitting up on the bed.
"Yes, give me twenty minutes to get ready till then will you please take my clothes out you always decide on good ones," I said smiling at him and walking up to the bathroom.

After taking a quick bath I wrapped myself in a bathrobe at least now I'm finally able to take bath on my own, I went into the room Amaan was sitting on the edge of the bed on a call with someone so I didn't make a noise taking the clothes in the dressing area, he has a great taste in clothes all the dresses are either picked by Alaya or him.

As I removed the bathrobe my eyes fell on my body I have lost so much weight since the accident bones visible from every corner of my body and these medicines are also so strong because of which I don't feel like eating, the bruises are clear on my body some of them fading away but few of them will always be there not just on my body even on my heart there is one big bruise at my back I didn't notice it earlier I might've got when I was thrown away because of the explosion, tracing my fingertips on it I close my eyes remembering that awful day.

I wonder why Amaan would want to be with me I mean, why would anyone want to be with a messed up person?

Get it together Laila.

Pushing all the thoughts at the back of my mind, I started to get ready he chose plain mustard Anarkali paired with zari checkered dupatta full sleeves, and thankfully for pants, it was a palazzo I have to wear these until my plaster isn't gone the kurta is long enough no one can notice the palazzo now the only task is to zip my kurta up but my hands won't reach.

Amaan walks unannounced "Maan I'm not dressed yet" I glare at him, fumbling with my dress suddenly shame takes over me and I push him away.

He looks at me bewildered"hey what happened?" He asks coming a little closer bringing his arms to hold me.
A tear rolls down my cheek"why did you agree to marry me Maan?" I ask as a sob leaves my mouth.
"What do you mean?" He throws a question at me.
"I mean why did you agree with this alliance didn't you take a good look at me I'm broken not just outside but inside too," I said taking a step back slumping down on the floor.

"I don't know from where this is coming but I don't want you to be talking this nonsense again," he says rather sternly.

"And as for saying yes to the proposal, I don't know if you have ever noticed but I have feelings for you, and even if all that hasn't happened I would've asked for your hand but seems like Allah didn't want me to wait," he says sitting in front of me. I look up at him my vision becoming blurry because of the tears flowing down, the look on his face showed sincerity.

There was a silence for a moment before he speaks up again " I know the circumstances aren't the ones any of us wanted but it happened maybe Allah wanted that way, Laila you need to start accepting that Khala, Khaloo, and Danish aren't coming back I know it can be hard and I would never say that I understand your pain, but you should know this no matter what I'm there for you and we will get through this together" he says bringing his hand to caress my cheeks wiping my tears.

I pulled him into a hug and burst into tears" it's okay let it all out and remember this Laila, I will be always there standing by your side and in front of your every problem like a shield" he says running his hand trying to soothe me. My cries subsided, his arms still wrapped around me, I can feel the warmth of his fingertips.

"Now let's get that zipper," he says helping me stand up I hold the kurta from my chest so it doesn't fall while he zips it his fingertips lingered there for a while at my back my breathing becoming ragged as soon as his warm lips make contact with my skin on the shoulder.

"Done, and this colour suits you, I'll go and get dressed?" he says which came out more like a question so I nodded, and he leaves the room.

I let out a breath not knowing I was holding in walking out to the mirror I sat down putting my hair in a braid, my bangles and earrings giving myself one look I noticed the end of my hair they are becoming like a broom I have to get a hair cut or just a trim maybe today me and Alaya will pay a visit to some good salon.

My phone starts to ring it was Alaya "are you guys ready yet or not?" She jumps straight to the question, this is what I like about her she isn't one of those who beat around the bush.
"I am, and as for your brother he is taking bath, what about you guys," I said closing the bags which were open when Amaan took the clothes out.
"Oh yeah I'm ready too Afan is also in the bathroom," she says.
"Okay, then we'll meet up in the lobby in say fifteen minutes" I suggested looking at the clock.
"Yeah okay, till then I'll take a small nap" she chuckles and hung up the call.

I laid down on the bed stretching my body a little past week comes rushing in front of my eyes dwelling over how it has changed, how fate plays a crucial role in your life without you even realizing it just like it has with me and Amaan, there was a time when I had no idea of when I will get married the only thoughts I had on my mind used to be when will I get to see my Abba Jaan and now I'm a married woman with an amazing husband who has a kind heart, cares for his family and very righteous one indeed.

"Laila, what do you think about this?" Amaan asks walking out of the bathroom towel draped around his hips water dripping down his built chest my eyes widened at the sight he smirks looking at me.
"What the heck Maan?" I said closing my eyes keeping my hand on it.

"It's okay to see your husband like this I guess, by the way, that look on your face is amazing I love how your cheeks turn into tomatoes," he says removing my hand.
"Shut up Maan, and uh...ahem get ready Alaya and Afan must be waiting for us," I said stuttering.
"Yeah we will go after you give me something," he says with a mischievous look on his face, and his lips tilting up in a smirk.

"What is it?" I dared to ask, my heart racing it can be heard clearly to my ears.
"Something here, or maybe here," he says pointing to his cheeks and then his lips not that I don't admire a view like this, chest exposed, water dripping from his hair but still somehow it feels like I'm not ready for it yet and I know he would never force me into doing something which I don't want to, but I can give a little taste, maybe tease a bit so I stood up keeping my hand on his chest I tiptoe a little bringing my lips near his ear "We are getting late and if you don't want your sister to kill I suggest you better put some clothes on" I whispered in his ear, I heard him grunt.

"Mrs Bashir, I'll see you later on this," he says tilting his head while looking at me I can see the darkness in his eyes, I smirk at him whilst biting on my lower lip and he went to the dressing room.

"Come on let's go," he says fixing his watch, getting up from the bed I draped my dupatta and we entered the elevator.

"Have you packed everything?" Amaan asks.
"Yes all done, what time we'll be leaving," I ask as we entered the lobby Alaya and Afan were waiting patiently.

Before he could answer "What took you guys so long?" As soon as she asks the question blush makes its way to my cheeks.
"Your brother takes forever to get ready," I said smiling.
"Okay, let's go now I'm starving first we'll have breakfast in Kashmir Point then we will go to Patriata and lastly we'll go to Mall Road for some shopping" she states the whole itinerary she finalized.

We left the hotel for our first destination.

The weather was so amazing today soft breeze the sky looking like a perfect canvas just a big plain one where you can draw whatever you want to, let your imagination get wild, as a child whenever I used to look at the sky it gave me calmness and peace in my mind and those clouds looking like giant cotton would look so beautiful and I always used to imagine things, create in my mind like a horse or teddy bear anything it would make me so happy I think it was like this for most of the kids. I imagined going above in the sky jumping on the clouds sleeping there how amazing it would be I know it's crazy but my imagination has been wild since I was a kid.

"What are you thinking Laila?" Amaan asks pulling me a little closer.
"Nothing just reminiscing my memories as a kid," I said smiling.
"You are so cute when you talk like a carefree person, not that I'm complaining about the broody one," he says jokingly receiving a punch from me on his arm.

"You just need a reason to touch me huh?" He says smiling flirtatiously at me.
"Oh please don't think so highly of you, vaise kaha Jaata Hai khush fehmi paalo par galat fehmi mat paalo Maan Sahab," I reply with smiling which turned into laughter looking at his astonishing expressions. He cracks up pulling the bridge of my nose.

(Anyway, it is been said a person should have the fancy illusion, not the misunderstanding Mr Amaan)

*****

The whole day went by so quickly, and it was already time for us to leave for Rawalpindi. Maan has booked a car for us which we will be using to tour around there and we will be staying in one of the Khaloo's ancestors property which is located near the market, we are going to stay there for almost a month Khaloo wanted that way because last few weeks have been hectic and dreadful for both of us, plus now I think that we should give our marriage one chance we both deserve that. As Amaan said no matter whatever the circumstances were, we are together now so it's better for both of us we accept the fact.

Besides, I know I never would've gotten a better husband than Amaan he is perfect in his way, at least he understands me and my choices which I'm thankful for.

"Are we packed Laila, you kept your medicines right?" He asks coming out wearing a jacket, it's getting cold outside now.
"Yes, everything is packed up" I reply wrapping myself in my shawl.
"Okay let's leave then Ahmed Bhai Jaan is here," he says taking the bags.

We did all the procedure for checking out Alaya and Afan were waiting near the car" oh I'm going to miss you so much" she says pulling me in a hug.
"I'm going to miss you too Aloo," I said referring to the name by which I call her sometimes though she hates it, gaining a glare from her.
"You know I hate that name Laila," she says and I just laugh it off.

"Call me when you guys reach there, and Bhai please take care of yourself and Laila too," she says pulling away.

Maan gives her a quick peck on the forehead while Afan helps the Ahmed Bhai Jaan with the luggage, Maan and Afan do their manly hug and we drove off to our destination.

Hello and Assalamaalikum Lovelies!

How is everyone doing?

So how was the chapter I hope the story is not going too fast?

Most probably there will be a leap in the next chapter because I have to finish the story.

What do you think about Laila and Amaan's moment? I hope I'm doing justice to their scenes.

And finally, Laila decided to give a chance to their marriage for which I'm happy.

How many of you are happy too that she is finally accepting everything?

Don't forget to share all your theories.

Till next time.

Keep Reading, Keep Smiling❤❤
