AUTHOR'S POV:

they were all still in the hall, trying to digest the unexpected arrival. Annoyance clearly visible on the youngsters' faces.

ALIYA: ammi! why didn't you tell us they were coming too?? i could've enjoyed staying at home better.

AMMI: relax aliya. Even we got to know at the end moment. And do you think your bhai would be ready to come if we would've informed you people beforehand?

ALIYA: they would've stayed at home better.

AMMI: behave aliya. they're your bua's family.

She just made an annoyed face and proceeded to take her place beside zain and rehmat.

REHMAT: any idea how they've appeared here magically?

ALIYA: they informed our parents at the very last moment. Our very intelligent parents knew asim bhai not come after knowing that they were coming too so they chose to keep quite.

ZAIN: bhai has a lot to tolerate now. I don't know how bhabi is going to react.

REHMAT: ohh god give all of us the strength required.

BADI DADI: arre zoya, come here beta. You're back after a long time. It's so good to see the whole family united once again.

ZOYA: yes badi dadi! it feels soo good! everyone is here.

She said, eyeing asim specifically.

ALIYA: aankhen toh ek hi pe hai iski.. sabka naam dikhaawe ke liye liya hai isne.

(her eyes are fixed only at one person. She's taking everyone's name just for show.)

she slowly came near asim and stood in front of him with a huge smile on her face.

ZOYA: hi asim. Long time no see huh. You don't miss me now a days?

ASIM: ughh hii. yeah its been a long time. And you see i think you need rest. We all need rest. We've come here after a long journey.

He said ignoring the last part of her question purposely. With that he urged all the others to go their room while he left to his with aayat.

In the room.

AAYAT: sooo... who is she?

ASIM: umm bua's daughter. zoya. Just a cousin.

AAYAT: judging by the amount of happiness she had on her face after seeing you, it doesn't look like she's just a cousin?

ASIM: you're thinking too much wife. Rest for a while.

AAYAT: yeah whatever.

with that they turned around and what they saw left them speechless. There was only one bed. with no couches. No extra blanket. No extra mattress to make bed on the floor. And the bed sheet on the bed had hearts?

ASIM: ugh.. i don't know who has such a childish taste. I'll ask them to change the sheets. And yeah i'll ask them for extra blanket and mattress-

AAYAT: I don't think that is required. I mean its ok from my side. We can share the bed. And the bedsheet won't make any difference. But if you're uncomfortable then..

ASIM: no ugh.. I guess i am okay with it too. Also asking for an extra mattress would make them think we fought or something like that.

She just nodded and proceeded towards the bathroom to get freshened up. While he sat on the bed lost in his own thoughts.

ASIM: Everything was going so smooth. And she had to come. Can't she just get it in her brain that i am married now and she needs to stay away from me? For once in my whole life i am feeling good after being proved wrong. Yeah i was wrong. Letting aayat close to me will only heal me and not break her. Because I for sure know that no matter what's the reason, I can't hurt her.

But this bitch zoya needs to stay in her limits for me and my wife to make progress. Well we'll be sharing the same bed so ugh.. its kind of a progress i think?

He couldn't stop blushing at that fact. Eventually he had to come out of this thoughts when he saw the door opening and his wife came out.

AAYAT: I think you should freshen up too.

He just nodded and went in.

By the time he came out, There was a maid at the door who was here to call them.

MAID: Badi dadi is calling you both in the garden. Everyone else is there already.

ASIM: yes we'll be there.

the maid just nodded and left.

ASIM: shall we go?

AAYAT: yep.

With that, they both headed towards the garden and found everyone seated there.

Asim and aayat sat beside each other on the grass as everyone was sitting with their better-halves as well.

ALIYA: bhabii!! you sit with uss!! come here.

She pulled aayat with her and made her sit with zain, rehmat and herself. Asim didn't like it one bit and it was evident on his face.

ASIM: saara din bas bhabi bhabi. bhabi ki chamchi. kabhi yeh nahi laga ki bhai ko bhi bhabi ke saath baithne ka dil karsakta hai.

(keep chanting bhabi bhabi all day. Bhabi's disciple. Never has she thought that even her brother would want to sit with her bhabi.)

ALIYA: ok so bhabi.. we've pulled you here away from bhai even tho he's dying to sit with you because we have something very important to tell you.

AAYAT: ughh okay.. what is it?

REHMAT: that zoya. No twisting and turning the situation, but ugh, she's head over heels for your husband. Since childhood.

ZAIN: well,  bhai was the same too during early years.

AAYAT: WHAT?!

Rehmat gave a punch to zain's stomach.

REHMAT: shut up! there was nothing like that! they both were close but he rejected her politely when she confessed and distanced himself.

ALIYA: ok so the point is, its clearly visible that she's shameless enough to try on bhai even after knowing you guys are married. But the thing is during early teenage, the whole family thought they both would end up together and Bua had also come with the marriage proposal but to everyone's surprise bhai rejected the proposal.

It was clearly visible that aayat was burning with anger and jealousy.

ZAIN: its good that bhai rejected her. Hamesha chipakti rehti thi chipkali.

(Always trying to stick to him, lizard.)

Everyone bursted into laughter after listening to this statement.

ZOYA: asim!!!! aww soo sweett!! you saved a seat for me beside you??

ASIM: no thats-

ZOYA: thank you, i am sitting now.

ASIM'S POV:

Damn this girl doesn't have any shame.

I turned my gaze towards my wife and I could already see the fire in her eyes. If looks could burn, Both me and this girl beside me would be ashes in a matter of few moments. Well, judging by the series of expressions on her face while those three devils were telling her something, she probably knows the scene here. I might have to handle things more strictly with those three in the future. They speak more than required. This fevistick beside me kept blabbering continuously. Can't she shut her mouth? That's enough! I can't take it anymore!! I need to go back to my wife.

ASIM: sorry ugh buy I think i should go to my wife. Neither does she nor do I like sitting away from each other.

Without waiting for her reply, I abruptly got up and sat beside my wife.

ASIM: hii

AAYAT: aagayi yaad biwi ki?

(finally you remembered you have a wife?)

ASIM: aayat-

BADI DADI: ok so since everyone is here, I want to tell you that we are going to our ancestral clothing showroom to buy clothes for today's event. I have invited the whole neighborhood to introduce them to the new additions of our family. I want everyone to be at their best.

REHMAT: but badi dadi, we have enough clothes. Why buy more?

BADI DADI: rehmat beta you don't understand. That's a ritual. We buy clothes for the new brides of the family before the muh dikhai. And since i am feeling generous, I want to buy something for everyone. We will get going in a few minutes.

Aayat looked excited. Looks like she forgot about everything. Badi dadi, you're such a saviour.

TIME SKIP

AT THE SHOWROOM

AAYAT: husband! I want you to choose something for me.. We both will match our outfits. okiee??

ASIM: *chuckle* sure.

AAYAT: here!! what do you think about this one-

ZOYA: Asimmmmm!!

Fuck! not again! She's such a nuisance.

ASIM: *irritated* what is it?

ZOYA: remember how you used to choose things for me when we were kids?? I want you to choose for me now as well.. let's goo..!

She didn't even let me speak and dragged me by my hand. I turned back to look at my wife, She had her mouth wide opened, anger evident. She looked at me and turned her back towards me.

I am doomed..!

It's been 15 minutes and this fevistick isn't ready to leave my side. I don't want to be rude that's the reason i was quite. I don't think keeping quite is going to work.

ZOYA: what do you think about this-

ASIM: I am sorry but my wife needs me. You can choose for yourself.

Saying that i turned around, taking fast steps towards my wife- Sorry, angry wife.

AAYAT'S POV:

That girl! I swear to god..! How dare she snatch my husband??? And she dragged him holding his hand?? The audacity i swear! I was sulking to myself while simply going through outfits while Aliya came beside me.

ALIYA: chipkali kahinki. Chipakna chodti hi nahi hai. Shaadi karvao iski koi.

(bloody lizard. Can't stop sticking at all. Someone get her married please.)

AAYAT: tumhaare bhai bhi kuch kam nahi hain. Dekho toh kitni shaanti se khade hain. Jaise biwi mai nahi woh ho.

(your brother is no less. Look how peacefully he is standing there. As if she's his wife and not me.)

From the corner of my eyes, I saw him approaching us. He looked in a hurry. But was i going to forgive him? Nope, not so easily.

ASIM: kuch select kiya?

(did you select anything?)

AAYAT: aapse matlab? aap jaaiye unki help kijiye jinko zarurat hai.

(Why do you care? you go help the ones in need.)

ASIM: aise toh matt kaho. Lao mai select karne mei help karta hu..

(come on, don't tell that atleast. Lemme help you select.)

AAYAT: door rahiye. Mere 4 feet ke daire mei kahin nahi aane chahiye aap.

(Stay away. I don't want you anywhere nearer than 4 ft distance from me.)

ASIM: aayat-

ZAIN: bhaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii come here..!

I saw zain bhai approaching and then he dragged asim from there. I was sulking and again started to go through the outfits. I wanted to wear a saree today. Something different. I've always wanted to wear a saree and after looking at the variety of sarees here, I can't stop myself. I kept scanning through all the sarees to find the perfect one, and one. just one of them completely stole my heart. There's no way i am wearing something else. It was a peachy pinkish banarasi type saree. Not too grand, not too simple. Perfect for a bride. I was busy admiring the saree when Rehmat di came beside me.

REHMAT: aayat my girll this saree is just so beautiful..! it's perfect!! it's made for you!! no second thoughts just go fot it!

AAYAT: thank youu dii!

REHMAT: well, your husband has been staring at you ever since zain has dragged him away. He's maybe figuring out what you're gonna wear today.

AAYAT: well, let him keep figuring out. I am not gonna let him know.

REHMAT: aren't you getting a bit too harsh??

AAYAT: this is what he gets for being quite while a complete stranger was dragging him by his arm.

REHMAT: way to goo tigress.

Di just left and i felt someone's presence beside me again.

ASIM: what have you chosen?

AAYAT: none of your business.

ASIM: It is my business..! We're going to match.. remember??!

AAYAT: well not anymore... you can match with that childhood sweetheart of yours.

I said while giving him a tight lipped smile.

ASIM: aayat don't do this wifey.

AAYAT: oh my god!! you realized i am your wife??!! Damn i thought you had forgotten..!

ASIM: aayat-

BADI DADI: okay if everyone is done then let's leave. We have a lot of work to do.

With that we left the showroom but this time, my husband was behind me like a lost puppy. Well, he deserves that for going with that chipkali.

TIME SKIP

AT THE HAVELI

As soon as we reached the haveli, I entered into aliya's room saying i had to get ready, completely avoiding my dear husband. I know its too much. I'll forgive him tonight. Its just good when he shows emotions.

I wore my saree and i was all ready. The way it fit me perfectly, I knew nothing else would be better. Right now i am back at our room as all my jewellery is here. I looked around but couldn't find asim anywhere. Just then i heard the sound of shower from the bathroom. He must be taking a shower. I was busy in wearing jewellery and didn't observe when he came out. I looked up in the mirror and found him standing behind me. WAIT WHAT?! HOW DID HE GET THE EXACT SAME COLOR KURTA MATCHING MY SAREE?

ASIM: you look heavenly wifey.

AAYAT: how did you know what i was wearing?

ASIM: *smirk* I have my ways.

I needed to have a serious conversation with aliya about this.

ASIM: we look like a perfect couple.. don't we?

AAYAT: i don't know.. go ask zoya.

ASIM: come on now stop sulking.

AAYAT: it's getting late mr. asim aman, would you give me way so that I could go down?? people don't like it when brides are late you know.

ASIM: I will surely give you way, mrs. asim aman, but not to let you go, but to go with you.

I just couldn't hide my blush. So i came out as soon as possible.

ASIM: you look cute when you blush.

That's it. Swallow me ground. Swallow me. It didn't. I hate this!

TIME SKIP

AT THE MUH DIKHAI

LADY: zara dekho toh asim ki biwi ko. Chand ka tukda hai. Jodi bhi badi pyaari hai. Isse acchi koi ladki ho hi nahi sakti thi asim ke liye.

(look at asim's wife. She's dreamy like a moon. The pair looks good as well. No other girl would be a better match for asim.)

All the ladies were praising me. And mr. husband was beside me with a proud smile. He looks good when he smiles. Well, they all said we both were the perfect pair. Exactly! Take that chipkali..!

I turned around to look at her and i could see her burning with jealousy. Huh.. that's what happens when you try to get something off your limits.

TIME SKIP

Finally all the guests were gone and it was only us. I could rest now.

ALIYA: ammiiiii!! can we go to the lakeside haveli? Please please please?? We'll show aayat bhabi around. she hasn't seen it.

AMMI: suree.. if she's ready then why not.

ALIYA: bhabiiii can we goo pleasee??? you'll love it there.

She said, giving me her puppy eyes. How could I reject those?

AAYAT: suree..!

ALIYA: yess!! bhaii lessgooo!!

TIME SKIP

AT THE LAKESIDE HAVELI.

ALIYA: bhabii isn't it beautifull!!

AAYAT: indeed it is.

I stood near the lake admiring the view when i felt someone standing beside me. Yep, it was him. my lovely husband. I had already forgiven him, but it was nice to tease him a bit.

ASIM: abhi bhi naraaz ho?

(are you still upset with me?)

AAYAT: pata nahi.

(i don't know)

ASIM: Lagta toh hai ki naaraz ho.

(it definately looks like you're still upset.)

I didn't reply anything and turned around to leave.

(play the song)

But I heard someone singing and turned around. OH.MY.GOD. I just received the biggest surprise as well as shock of my life.

MY DEAR HUSBAND WAS SINGING A SONG FOR ME??!!!

chand sifarish jo karta hamari..

deta voh tumko bata..sharmo haya ke parde giraa ke..karni hai humko khataa..

Everyone was hooting in the background.

ZAIN: goo bhaiii!!

ALIYA: bhaiii you rockk!!

REHMAT: go bhai get your girl.

I just gave them all a death glare but I couldn't control my smile. I was blushing as well. It had become my hobby to blush now. lol.

Hai jo iraade batadu tumko..

sharma hi jaaogi tum..dhadkane jo sunaadu tumko..ghabra hii jaaogi tum..

ZAIN: ohhooo bhaii iraade nd all haan..

zid hai abb toh hai khudko mitaana..

hona hai tujhpee fanaa...

ALIYA: toh hojaao naa bhaii!

(then do it naa bhaii!)

With that they all kept teasing me and my husband was getting a bit too romantic. change in air i guess.

TIME SKIP

AT NIGHT.

Right now, i am in the bathroom trying to open the hook of my blouse. This shit ain't opening. Ughh what do i do. I was stuck in the bathroom for past 30 mins now. He would get suspicious for sure. just like telepathy, i heard a knock.

ASIM: aayat are you fine.

AAYAT: ughh yeah.

ASIM: what's taking you so long?

AAYAT: um n-nothing.. I-I can manage.

ASIM: you want help with anything.

I think i have no other choice.

AAYAT: ughh yeahh..

ASIM: ok then i am coming in.

The door of the bathroom slowly opened and i could see him in the mirror. He was looking at me intensely.

AAYAT: the hook i-is g-giving m-me t-trouble.

ASIM: suree I'll help you..

BUT

AAYAT: what but?

ASIM: you need to tell me if i am forgiven.

AAYAT: well i'll tell you if you're forgiven or not after you help me.

He just raised his brow at me but nonetheless came forward to help.

He reached for my back slowly and tried to open the hook. I heard a click sound and I knew the hook was opened. I quickly held the blouse together, expecting him to leave. But what he did next made me almost faint.

I felt his lips on my bare back. It was just a mere peck but was enough to heat up my cheeks.

AAYAT: w-what a-are y-you d-doing?

ASIM: helping my wife with her blouse. Do you want me to help you with more?

AAYAT: no! that's enough! you can go now..!

He just let out a loud laugh and went out. This man is going to be the death of me one day.

I changed into a comfortable suit for the night and my body was feeling so light. Finally, some rest.

I came out of the bathroom only to see him waiting for me. I quietly walked towards the other side of the bed. I didn't have the courage to speak to him after he pulled out that stunt in the bathroom.

ASIM: aayat..

AAYAT: hmm?

ASIM: am i forgiven?

I just nodded and i could feel the dip on the mattress indicating he was now lying down. I felt a gentle pat on my shoulder and I turned around to face him.

ASIM: you're really not angry right?

AAYAT: after that song of yours? I would be a fool if i was still angry. I had forgiven you long back.

ASIM: then why didn't you tell me?

AAYAT: I wanted to tease you a bit.

ASIM: you're so cunning.

AAYAT: surely i am! *giggling*

ASIM: aayat?

AAYAT: hmm?

ASIM: can i hug you while sleeping?

I was taken aback by his request. But agreed nonetheless. All i've wanted is to be close to him and I was letting this chance go away..

AAYAT: yes you can.

He came closer and wrapped his hand around my waist and pulled me closer. His other hand was below my head acting like a fake pillow. This moment was perfect. With my mr. perfect. I've wanted this all along.

ASIM: good night wifey.

AAYAT: good night hubby.

I drifted away to my dreamland in his comfortable and safe embrace. Aligarh was already being a magical destination in our life.
