"I am sorry. Hamara wo matlab nahi tha," Anabia said wrapping her arms around his hand.
( I didn't mean to say that)
Anabia was feeling very bad after what she had said to him. She would never intentionally say something that will hurt him. She was just frustrated because he broke the promise.
"Anabia, ghar jao. The driver is waiting for you in the car," Shahzain said pinching the bridge of his nose.
"Jab tak aap hame maaf nahi karenge, ham kahi nahi jayenge," Anabia said in an adamant tone.
(I will not move away from here until you forgave me)
"Stop testing my patience, Anabia. I don't wanna say anything to you which I might regret later," Shahzain said taking a deep breath to calm down his nerves.
Anabia was scared after seeing his cold behavior. She nodded her head meekly as her lips pursued into a pout. She went away as soon as she can.
Shahzain runs his finger through his hair frustratedly.
He wants to be angry but her innocent expression melted his heart.

"Aap dinner kyu nahi kar rahi?" Anam asked Anabia as she was curled up on her bed.
(Why are you not having dinner)
"Hamara mann nahi kar raha hai. Hame bhook lagegi tou ham kitchen se lekar khaa lenge," Anabia said with a hiccup.
(I don't feel like eating anything. I am not hungry. If I wanted to eat something, I will take it from the kitchen )
"Aap ko kya hua hai Anabia? Jab se aap college se aaye hai tab se room mai baithi hui hai. Kuch khaa bhi nahi rahi hai," Anam inquired as she was worried about her.
(What happened to you Anabia? You locked yourself in the room since you came. You are not even eating anything)
"Shahzain hamse baat nahi kar rahe hai. Bohot naaraz hai wo hamse. Hame samajh nahi aa raha hai ke ham kya kare," Anabia said while pulling her legs near her chest.
(Shahzain is not talking to me. He is very angry at me. I don't know what should I do)
"Accha toh ye baat hai. Shouhar ki narazgi aapko bechain kar rahi hai," Anam said in a mischievous tone making Anabia groan.
(So it's the matter. Your husband silent behavior is making you restless)
"Iss liye ham aapko nahi bata rahe the. Aap har cheez mazak mai leti hai. Shahzain hamse sach mai khafa hai," Anabia said shooting her a glare.
(That's why I don't tell you anything. You take everything as a joke. Shahzain is angry at me)
"Aap tension na le. Wo aapse zyada der khafa nahi reh sakte," Anam said in a calm tone.
(Don't take tension. He can't be angry at you for a longer time)
"Hame samajh nahi aa raha hai ke ham kya kare. Shahzain ko kese manaye?" Anabia said in a frustrated tone.
(I don't know what to do. I don't know how to convince shahzain)
"Wo bhi ham aapko bataye ki aap apne shouhar ko kese convince karengi. Aap shadi shuda hai. Aapko zyada idea hogi iss bare mai," Anam said in a mischievous tone making Anabia smacked her forehead.
(So should I also tell you how to convince your husband? You are married. You have more idea about this)
"Hame pata hota tou ham aapse aa kar nahi puchh rahe hote," Anabia said with disappointment laced in her tone.
(If I would have known, I wouldn't have come to you)
"Accha. Bhai ko jaldi convince karle aap. Unki Raat mai Bangalore ki flight hai," Anam said in a calm tone making Anabia mouth gaped open.
(Ok. But convince him soon because he has a flight to Bangalore by night )
"Unhone ne hame nahi bataya ke wo Bangalore jaa rahe hai," Anabia said as her lips pursued into a pout.
(He didn't tell me that he is going to Bangalore)
"Aapka batana bhul gaye honge. Aap jaake unse mil lijiye," Anam said and left her room.
(He may have forgotten to tell you. You can meet him now)
Anabia was busy with her thoughts about Shahzain. She was nervous about how to confront him.
***
Anabia knocked on his door. Her heart was thumping loudly. She heard his voice as she entered the room.
Shahzain was sitting on the edge of the bed while he was putting on his cufflinks. His cold glare sends shivers ran down her back.
"Haaye Allah, aapne toh hamari jaan hi leli. Aapko idea bhi nahi hai aap kitne hot lag rahe hai. Dil chah raha hai kuch karne ka," Anabia said as her breath hitched.
(Oh God, you just took my breath away. You don't have an idea how hot you are looking right now. My heart is urging me to do something)
Shahzain runs his thumb over his lower lips to hide the smile which was forming on his lips.
Shahzain averts his gaze away as he wants to ignore her. He stands in front of the mirror while he runs his finger through his hair.
He felt an arm wrapped around his muscular body.
Shahzain let out a sigh as he knows that Anabia won't let him leave easily.
"Itni kya narazgi hai hamse? Koi apni itni khoobsurat biwi se khafa kese reh sakta hai," Anabia said in a low voice.
(Why are you so angry at me? I wonder how can someone be angry with such a beautiful wife)
"Biwi ke kaam hi aise hai," Shahzain said with a sigh.
(Well, my wife always have her way to piss me off)
"Hame maaf karde. Ham aapko hurt nahi karna chahte the. Ham aapke liye kuch bhi karne ke liye tayyar hai. Ham wahi cheez karenge jo aapko pasand ho," Anabia said with a pout.
(Please forgive me. It was not my intention to hurt you. I am ready to do everything for you. I will do whatever you like)
Shahzain pinned her to the wall while looking at her with desirous eyes.
"Tumhe pata hona chahiye ke tumhaare shouhar ko kya chahiye. Mujhe kya pasand hai," Shahzain whispered in her ear in his deep voice.
(You should know what your husband wants. You should know what I like)
"Do you want me to kiss you or seduce you?" Anabia asked biting her lips.
Shahzain mouth fell open at her words.
"God, Anabia. Tum zara bhi masoom nahi ho," Shahzain said in bewilderment.
(You are not innocent at all)
"Hame pata hai. Aapko kisne kaha ke ham masoom hai?" Anabia asked narrowing his eyes at him.
(I know. Who told you that I am innocent)
Shahzain let out a frustrated sigh and stare right into her eyes.
"Physical touches aren't always necessary to convince your partner. I will forgive you for the day when you will touch my heart. And stop being so horny all the time," Shahzain looking at her.
She nodded her head in embarrassment while averting her gaze away.
"Though I am angry at you, I want you to know that I will miss you," Shahzain in a low audible voice making the tinge of red appeared on her cheeks.
***
Days pass in a blur, shahzain was still not back from Bangalore which makes Anabia restless. She hasn't talked to him since he left.
Anabia was rarely coming out of the room.
Everyone in the family was worried about her. They thought she must be missing Shahzain.
"DadiJaan, aap yaha kar rahi hai? Kuch kaam tha toh ham aa jate aapke room mai. Waise bhi aapke pairon mai dard rehta hai," Anabia said when she witnesses her DadiJaan coming into her room.
(What are you doing here? If you want to talk to me, then I would have come to your room. Even you have pain in your foot)
Raziya bi just smiled at her granddaughter and sat on the bed.
"Hame maloom pada hai ke bohot dino se room se bahar nahi nikli hai," Raziya Bi said as Anabia put her head on her lap.
(I came to know that you didn't come out of your room for days)
"Kuch nahi Dadi. Bas akele rehna accha lag raha tha," Anabia said with a sigh.
(It's nothing. I felt like living alone for some time)
"Shahzain ki yaad sataa rahi hai na aapko?" Raziya Bi asked while caressing her hair.
(You are missing Shahzain)
"Aisi baat nahi hai," Anabia said in a low voice.
(It's not like that)
"Hame sab pata hai. Agar aap shahzain ko miss kar rahi hai toh phir unse baat kar lijiye," Raziya Bi advised as she can't see her granddaughter suffering.
(I know everything. if you are missing him then talk to him)
"Wo hamse khafa hai. Baat nahi kar rahe wo hamse. Hame samajh nahi aa raha hai ke ham kya kare," Anabia said in a low voice while her heart skips a beat.
(He is angry at me. He is not even talking to me. I don't know what to do)
"Agar khafa hai toh aap unhe manaye na. Agar aap dono khafa ho kar baith jayenge to kese chalega. Wo aapke shouhar hai. Aapko unhe samajhna chahiye. Aap khyaal rakhe ke aap dono ke darmiyan koi na aaye. Shahzain aapke shouhar hai. Pura haq hai unka aap par," Raziya Bi said while caressing her hair.
(If he is angry with you, then convince him.
If you both don't sort out the matter then how it will work. He is your husband. You should understand him. You should be careful that no come in between you both. He is your husband and he has every right on you)
"Aapko pata wo hamse khafa iss liye hai ke-" Anabia was saying when her grandmother interrupted her.
(You know he is angry with me because -)
"Kuch baatein sirf miya biwi ke darmiyan rahe tou accha hai. Har baat sabko batane wali nahi hoti. Aapko pata hai, shahzain aapse bohot mohabbat karte hai," Raziya Bi told her.
(It will be better if some conversation remains between husband and wife. It's not important to tell everything to the third person. You know shahzain loved you, right?)
"Shahzain ne hamse kaha ke wo hamse mohabbat nahi karte hai," Anabia said with a teary eye.
(Shahzain told me that he doesn't love me)
"Shahzain ko ehsaas bhi nahi hai wo aapse kitni mohabbat karte hai. Jab aap 3 baras ki thi tab aapke parents iss duniya se chale gaye the. Aap bohot choti thi. Aapke parents ne aapki zimmedari hame di thi. Hame har ek lamha dar laga rehta tha ke hamare baad aapka kya hoga. Shahzain aapki bohot fikr karte the. Aap rone lagti thi tou shahzain aapko chup karate the. Aapka pura dhyaan dete hai. Hame dil mai sukoon ho gaya tha ke shahzain hamesha aapka khayaal rakhenge. Par jab 15 baras ki hui thi tou hamari tabiyat bohot kharab ho gayi thi. Doctors, ne bhi jawaab de diya tha. Ham khwaish thi ke aap aur shahzain ka nikah ho jaye. Iss wajah se aap aur shahzain ka nikah itne jaldi ho gaya tha. Par Allah ke karam se ham thik ho gaye.
Agar aap aur shahzain ke relationship mai differences hai tou aap unhe khatam kare. Aisa naa ho ke aapko malaal rah jaaye. Ham bas yahi chahte ke aap dono hamesha khush rahe," Raziya Bi said kissing her forehead.
(Shahzain doesn't have an idea how much he loves you. When you were 3 years old, your parents passed away. You were so small. Your parents gave me your responsibility. I was always scared of what will happen to you after me. Shahzain always cared about you. He was consoled to you whenever you cry. He always takes care of you. I was always at peace knowing that he will be there for you. When you were 15 years old, I was so ill. Even doctors have answered. I wanted you to marry shahzain. That's the reason, the marriage was fixed between you and shahzain. By the grace of Allah, my health gets better
If there is a difference in your relationship, then sort everything out. I don't want you to regret it in the end. All I want is to see you both happily married )
Tears were building inside her eyes. She realized that she was wrong at understanding him.
Today is just one of those days where she was missing him terribly and wanted to talk to him.
She wasn't exactly sure when it happened or even when it started. All she knew for sure was that right here and now, she was falling hard and she could only pray that he was feeling the same way.
