Talia and Moiz looked at him with shock then Talia quickly got up and walked towards him whereas Moiz was just looking at him.
'How this happen Wali?' Talia asked worried while holding his hand and Moiz came towards him as well.
' I don't know. I was holding the glass and it suddenly break. ' Wali lied and looked away as he don't want to show his jealousy to Talia. He felt relief when they both believed on his excuse and didn't asked any more questions.
' Is bleeding too much. Moiz you should call the doctor.' Talia said while getting panicked while Moiz nodded her head in yes, and took out phone to call.
' No, its alright. Don't call the doctor.' Wali stopped Moiz from calling the doctor.
' I will go and get first aid box.'Moiz said and walked out to got first aid box.
' Is it hurting too much?' Talia asked while looked at his bleeding hand.
' Stop over reacting.' Wali said and harshly took out his hand from her grip. She looked
up at him with a hurt in her eyes. Before she could asked anything else, Moiz came back.
'Here it is.' Moiz said while passing first aid box to her . She opened it and start putting bandaged on his hand.
'Thank you Moiz.' Talia said and handed back the first aid box to Moiz.
' Sorry to bother you but I think we should go now.' Wali said and got up from the chair. They walked out after saying their goodbye to Moiz and got inside the car.
' I think we should go to doctor.' Talia said as soon they sat down in the car.
' I said I am fine.' Wali replied harshly and she looked at him on his sudden change of behaviour. She don't get it why he was being suddenly harsh to her. She tried to remember did she did something wrong but couldn't find anything. On other hand he was confused and angry that why he was feeling jealous.
'Your hand is still bleeding.' Talia said and started crying as she can't saw him in pain. He looked at her and was not liking at all that she was crying.
' Why you are crying? What is wrong?' Wali asked but she didn't reply and start crying even more loudly. He don't know how to make her stop crying which now had started making him angry as well.
' For heaven' s sake Talia. Why you are crying? I am not dead yet? You can save tears for my death. ' Wali screamed angrily and Talia looked up at him shocked. The thing which he said so formally means so much to her. It break her heart into pieces. He had no idea how important he was to her. But she cleaned away her tears and stop crying as if she don't wanted him to say more nasty things. Wali sighed in relief that she was not crying anymore, and then silence took place between them:
'Why you didn't tell me about your birthday.' Wali asked out of blue and Talia looked at him. Last Monday was her birthday. She wanted to told him but he looked in bad mood. He went to office in morning and came back late in night then straight went to his room. Talia was hurt but she didn't reminded him afterward . She don't know that Moiz will do anything like this otherwise she would have told him not to do it.
' I don't celebrate birthday. Thats way I didn't tell you.' Talia lied to him otherwise she loved to celebrating her birthday. It should be nothing grand but a small family dinner and gifts exchange. He nodded his head in yes and then rest of drive they sat in silence in their own thoughts. They reached at a home and he got inside the gate, and parked his car . They stepped out from the car and walked inside the home. Then without saying any other word Wali went up to his room. Talia looked at his back sadly and sighed. Then she also started walking towards her room to sleep.

She opened up her eyes when she heard loud noises coming from downstairs. She got scared. She quickly got up and walked downstairs. She could hear noises coming from sitting room. She walked and as soon she entered in the sitting room everyone looked at her. It was her family. Her mother, father and her cute little brother. Her -in-law were also there. She can't believed they all were here.
' Surprise.' Her brother Asad said who was eighteen years old. She came back into her senses then ran toward her dad. She hugged him tightly and start crying. Talia was favourite to her dad more then her mom.
' What happen Talia daughter?' Her father asked worried with her crying.
' I just miss you too much.' Talia said and everyone start smiling. Then she walked and met everyone else in the room.
' How come you all are here.' Talia asked while they all sat down on the sofas.
' Wali call us because he said you are missing us. Also your birthday was last week. He want to surprise you by calling us. He said he was quite busy last week. So couldn't celebrate your birthday. So he called us to celebrate your birthday .' Asad answered and she surprised look at Wali who was already looking at her intensely whereas she quickly looked down. She was beyond happy that Wali called them for her. She can't imagine him doing anything for her. So he knew that I was lying yesterday in the car.
' You all should take rest and I am going to see party's arrangement.' Wali said while getting up.
' Where party is happening?' Asad asked
' It is in hotel.' Wali said.
'Do you need our help.' Mr Jabran (Talia' s dad) asked and Wali shook his head in no.
'No, its alright. You all should take rest. I have called the decorator, they will do all the arrangement you all have no need to get worry.' Wali said and walk out while Talia asked Aisha to make food for them as their was still alot of time in party. Talia spend all day with her family and in-law.

'I think we should go and get ready. Wali brother must be waiting for us at hotel.' Asad said and they all nodded their head in yes then start getting up.They all walked towards their rooms to get ready.
' Aisha, Aisha.' Talia called to her.
'What happen?' Aisha asked while coming out from the kitchen.
'Come with me.' Talia said and Aisha followed her. They both enter inside the Talia's room.
' Choose any dress for yourself.' Talia said while looking at all dresses on the bed.
' Why?' Aisha asked confused so
'Because you are coming with me on my birthday party.' Talia answered simply.
' I don't want to. People will not like a maid in party. It's a family dinner.' Aisha said while rejecting her offer.
'You are my friend and you are going with me.' Talia said. Aisha was about to say No but Talia give her 'don't- even- dare-to-say-no' look and Aisha kept her mouth shut.
' I think I will have this.' Aisha said while picking up blue dress and Talia nodded her head in yes while smiling.
' Okay, now go and get ready.' Talia said and she walk out from her room. Talia chooses red and black dress for herself then went inside the restroom to take shower. After an hour she was ready. She walked and stood in front of mirror while she start putting simple diamond diamond necklace around her neck. She tried to put it on but in vain. She tried to got hold of hook but couldn't when she heard her door opened and then getting close.
' Thank god you are here Aisha, come here and help me to put on the necklace.' Talia called out to her while felt relief. She heard footsteps coming toward her then she felt a hand touches her hands which was on necklace. She felt spark. She quickly moved away her hands then looked up from the mirror, and found Wali standing there looking at her. Wali looked away from her and again start hooking the necklace. She was looking at him from the mirror. After hooking up her necklace, Wali looked up. There eyes met in the mirror and they stared deep in each other eyes. They were staring at each other when the room's door brust opened and Asad entered.Both of them look at him and he stared at them teasingly. Talia start blushing and looked down.
' Sorry to disturb you Romeo and Juliet.' Asad said teasingly and Talia felt so embarrassed.
' Well, I though Wali brother you said you will wait for us at hotel.' Asad asked with the hit of tease in his tone.
' I come back to change because someone spilled a drink on my suit.' Wali answered.
' I though the front room was yours room. How come Talia is here?' Asad asked confused while Talia and Wali got tensed.
' I use that room to get ready. I make alot of mess and Wali don't like messy room.' Talia lied quickly And thankfully Asad nodded his head believing her.
' Hurry up get ready then come downstairs.' Asad said and walk out from the room. And they nodded their head in yes. They both stood there in a awkward silence.
' Do you want anything Wali?' Talia asked to break the awkward silence.
' I need to press my suit but I couldn't find Aisha.' Wali said
' I will press your clothes and I have send Aisha to get ready. She is coming with me as well.' Talia replied and Wali nodded his head in yes and started walking towards door, but then he stopped then turned over to her.
' Talia.' Wali called out to her softly and she looked up at him.
'Please come back into my room as long our parents are here. We meant to stay in same room because we are husbnad and wife. Only Asad have ask us today but yours and mine parents could ask as well in future.' Wali said softly and she looked at him shocked. He actually saying her to come in his room, the room where her presence was strictly forbidden. she thought.
'Are you listening what I am saying ' Wali asked and she came back to her senses then quickly nodded her head in yes. Without any other word he walked out whereas smiled spread across her face.
