"Ah! I'm soo full. I can't eat more yaar, I need to watch my figure too." Huda said pushing back her plate eating just the half sandwich.

"Oh come on! We're still in 10th grade. What's the point of watching your figure now." Her friend said chewing on her sandwich.

"Of course I have to watch it. I don't want to turn into a chubby teddy like you." Huda cooed pulling her cheek.

Her friend pouted.
"Hey! I'm not chubby. I'm just cute."

"Sure ...sure!"

After finishing thier drinks they went to thier different ways.

It was Saqib's first day at a part time job in that cafe. Even though he was blind, the owner hired him seeing his passion to learn. It wasn't like he didn't knew anything. At the age of 20 he could chop vegetables and fruits and make simple snack that didn't involve fire. Still, he was given the job of a dishwasher as he was still a newbie. There were a lot of school students has there customer as a school was just nearby. Business was going good but the young highschool girls who came, were quite noisy and he wasn't used to such atmosphere. Although, the reason why he chose the cafe was to get used to search atmosphere.

All the customers had left and the cafe was empty so the employees decided to take a break as the owner wasn't around.
"Hey newbie! I am going for a smoke. You're incharge!"

"Huh? Me? But what if someone comes?" Saqib panicked

"Then fix them something. You said you know how to make snacks." The guy said and disappeared

"But.... I...." He sighed. Everyone had already left him alone. He was silently praying that no one should come but to his horror he heard the hanging bell of the door, meaning of customer just walked in.

He shut his eyes panicking. Just his luck.

"Is anyone there?"

He heard a female voice.
"Y...yes coming." He shouted from inside and taking a deep breath, walked out to the counter.

"Finally everyone left! Thank God! I thought I'd starve to death..... I'll have a double cheese sandwich and fries!"

"Uh... ma'am...n...no ones...."

"Please hurry ok. I'm hungry!" She said patting the table in eagerness with both her hands, her eyes still glued on the menu not paying attention to his words. All she could think of was food.

Saqib sighed and went in. He didn't even knew the original recipe of the cafe, nor where all the ingredients were kept. Still he managed to find some ingredients by thier smell and taste and nervously fixed a sandwich fighting through her constant calling. Luckily the fries just needed some heating.

Seriously how can someone be so hungry!

He came out with the order and following the sound of her banging he placed the plates.

"Ugh! What took you soo long? Anyways thanks."
She looked at the sandwich making a weird face.
"Dude! What's this presentation?"

"S...sorry, actually, no one was around soo..."

"Ok ok.... atleast it should taste good "

Saqib gulped.

However, as soon as she took a bite her eyed closed and she moaned.
"OMG! How could a cheese sandwich soo good?! What magic ingredient did u put in this man!"

Saqib blinked.

With every bite she took, she kept complimenting him.
"This is sooooo good!.....yummy!.....wow...ummm.....just wow...superb!.... I'm coming her everyday for this sandwich now!.....dude! I'm your fan!"

Saqib was blushing like a girl! For the first time someone had complimented his food soo much after his parents that he almost felt overwhelmed.

She didn't even see his face though as she was soo engrossed in the food.

"...dude, you should open a restaurant of your own, I'll be the regular customer..."

Saqib chuckled scratching his neck.
"I'm just a newbie ma'am. I.... I can't even cook properly."

"Nonsense! Who said that? You've got the talent bro! To Hell with the world. Do what you like and if anyone dares to interfere then show them the finger! You're an amazing cook and This sandwich was literally magical." She said licking the sauce off her fingers then her eyes went to her watch and she cursed loudly making poor Saqib flinch.

"Look at the time! My mom will grill me into a sandwich!"

Saqib laughed at her unusual statement. He was pretty sure that was humanly impossible.

"Gotta go. Here's the money and tip." She handed him the money without looking at him as she was frantically packing her backpack and wearing her jacket facing away from him.
"Keep the money to yourself and don't give it to the owner. You earned it!" She slapped her arm and ran away.

Saqib gripped at the money smiling goofily to himself.

He was a simple and humble guy never having the confidence that he could do anything big, but what that girl told him got him fired up. So he locked himself in his room and yelled....

"To hell with the world!" He bit his tongue fearing someone might hear him but it felt soo good....just hitting the right spot. So he screamed again...

"TO HELL WITH THE WORLD!" he was laughing like an idiot. It was as if a huge rock was off his chest.

But then he remembered...

He didn't even ask her name...but he could never forget her voice. She became his muse after all.

Saqib and Huda never talked about that incident regarding Rishab ever again. It was as if it never even happened. They were on good terms with eachother. Huda no longer insulted him or anything, instead she respected him even more.

She knew that after knowing about her cheating he could've taken any action against her. If not physical or emotional abuse, he could've divorced her and if not that, he could've easily taken away her privileged. All the money and expensive items that she wasted his money on. However, he did nothing of that sort. Instead, he forgave her for everything. She finally realised what a big heart he had and also, she had a huge place in that heart of his.

Now she truly took efforts to understand him and tried to be a good wife to him.

Saqib was way too happy with this. If not as his wife but atleast she was like a good friend to her. Someone he could open his heart and mind too and who also took efforts to listen to him. She eagerly welcomed him back home and talked and laughed with him for hours.

However, a new problem had arose now that everything was going good....

She wanted to learn to cook!

Oh, the horror it was for him! Being an executive Chef, he wasn't a patient man after all when it came to cooking even with amateurs but he had to be extremely patient with his wife who was a complete....mess!

They practiced at midnight when everyone went to sleep, the time when Saqib used to practice....

"Chop it as thin as you can but mind your fingers." He said standing behind her.

"How can I chop it thinner than this? It's humanly impossible!" She whined for the fifth time.

Feeling for the chopping board he picked a piece rubbing it between his fingers.  His jaw clenched but he took deep breaths to calm himself.

"Huda.... I can cut this one slice of zucchini in 5 thin slices. Of course you can cut it atleast half a inch thinner." He said through grunted teeth.

"Well, you're not human!" She huffed making him shake his head.
"BTW, aren't there different types of choppers for this. Why waste soo much time and energy to do it manually when u can do it with a press?"

"Because than it won't be meaningful. There are protocols for everything." He should literally gotten an award for the way he was holding back his temper.

"You're teaching your wife, what protocol?!" She pouted.

"Please....for Allah's sake don't test my patience. Do you want me to get mad at you?" He questioned a bit heatedly.

She giggled.
"Yes. I want to get you mad! I want to see how you look like when you're angry!"

He smirked.
"If I get angry, I'll make you dice, slice and chop 2kgs of zucchini, 5kgs of tomatoes and peal 10 kgs of potatoes in one night."

Huda laughed and he just sighed.
"I've done that before."

"Yeah, but you cannot do that to me~" she mocked.
"You look cute when you're mad."

He rolled his eyes.
"Do you really want to learn cooking?"

"No. I just want to spend more time with you."

Saqib's face turned red.
"Don't say something soo shocking soo suddenly.

"Why? Will your heart burst? Wow, you even look cute when you're blushing." She teased him getting closer to see his face as he turned away.

"Yes, and you'll be a widow."

She gasped dramatically.
"Shut up. Don't say such scary things!"

"Soo worried huh?"

"Why wouldn't I be? You're my darling husband after all."

He laughed.

"What? I'm serious."

"Ok ok.... first chop this zucchini in 5 different styles."

"Uff! You're a devil teacher!"

She started chopping but by the sound  of the knife hitting the board he could sense how terrible she must be.
"See, like this."

Huda gasped when he suddenly grabbed both her hands from behind and his body pressed to her back. He was showing her how to chop it but she was too disturbed by the rising sexual tension between them to pay attention. Saqib could feel it too but being a professional he didn't budge. However, even a professional could lose his cool when he was this close to the woman he always desired. Thier hearts were on fire, easily audible to both of them.

Unconsciously, his hand was slipping up her arm before slowly and sensually slipping down her figure making her shiver. His hand slipped over her stomach, down to her waist.

"You have such a thin waist...." He whispered in her ear making her close her eyes
".... even though you eat soo much." He grinned. 

"Shut up! Don't spoil the mood!" She whispered and turned her head towards him and he too leaned forward, thier lips finding eachother.

Things heated up quickly and the kiss too became much more passionate.

But suddenly he backed off.
"Uh...um... sorry... I didn't mean too....it just..."

"Shhh...." Huda stepped forward wrapping her arms around his neck as he was already panting.
"Don't be sorry.... it's ok.... I want this too...." She whispered getting closer to his lips with her every word until she kissed him and he was returning it with the same fervor.

Not breaking the kiss they both made thier way to the bedroom stumbling and giggling. Huda shut the door behind them with the leg.

"Want the whole house to see us?"

He chuckled pushing her back to the door as he continued kissing her and locked the door behind her....
