4.Dhamkiyaan🔥

Next morning the hippo alarm clock woke Haaris from his sleep.

"🎶 Wake up wake up its time to shine 🎶 "

He cringed at the alarm song & turned it off quickly.

He got up Grogily & made way to his bathroom but suddenly stumbled upon something & fell flat on it or maybeeee fell flat on Her.

A shrill scream made him cover his ears & open his eyes.

His eyes widened to see his enemy in front of him.

While Inaayat put her palms on his chest to create space.

Haaris cursed under his breath & stood up.

He shouted " Maine kaha tha na mere raaste mein mat aana... Pehle din hi tumne yahi kiya "

Inaayat glared at him & said " Tum jo gaindon ki tarah phail kar so rahe the...toh mujhe yahan sona padha "

Haaris glowered at her form & said "raat se chup chaap bed par sona...agar neeche sone se pneumonia hojaye toh tumne mere behen ki zindagi barbaad kardeni hai.

Inaayat's eyes welled up with tears hearing him.

She fought back " Meri best friend hai woh...Kyun karungi mai aisa? "

Haaris chuckled drily & said " Haan aur tumhari bhai ki wife...yahan tumhare saath koi kuch karega toh tum wahan meri behen ke saath bhi yehi treatment karwaogi "

Inaayat wiped her tears & said " Tum jaise insaan se aisi hi sonch ki umeed ki jaa sakti hai"

she ran to bathroom leaving a fuming Haaris behind.

She did freshened up & came out to see the room was empty.

She took her clothes from her suitcase & went for a bath.

After contemplating for sometime...she decided she would go out & ask Sanam's mother for breakfast because she was dying with hunger as she didn't eat anything since the Nikkah.

She went downstairs to be greeted with beautiful smell of 'Aloo paranthas '.

Before she came out when she heard Sanam's mother calling her.

Rabiya spoke " Arey inaayat beta aagayi tum...chalo jaldi se baithjao mai naashta lagaati hoon"

Inaayat muttered 'assalamualikum' to her & went to sit on an empty dining chair but was pulled away.

Safina was Sanam & Haaris's cousin ( maternal side - Mamu ki beti).

She was of Haaris's age & his biggest follower in everything He did which meant...She hated Inaayat with passion.

Inaayat curled her palm in fists & looked at her in questioning manner.

Safina rolled her eyes & said " This is my chair because Bazu mein Harry ki chair hai...just find another corner or get lost "

Inaayat moved away from her reminding herself She didn't need more Drama in her life.

She took the chair across them & waited for food to be served.

There were servants hired for Sanam's wedding as Rabiya couldn't handle everything alone.

A casserole of full with Aloo paranthas were placed on dining table.

Inaayat served it to Haaris's phupo - Farida (paternal aunt) who was the only person who didn't pass remarks on her during Reception.

Instead kept a hand on her head & blessed her.

Everyone were settled on dining table.

Farida smiled at inaayat & said " Kuch bhi bolo Afsar aur Rabiya...tum dono kismat bohut achi hai... Itni pyaari bahu mil gayi "

Afsar nodded his head & Rabiya smiled at her Sister in law.

While the youngsters rolled their eyes.

Safina , Naimah, safeer were Haaris's & Sanam maternal cousins who were also bullies of inaayat.

While on paternal side it was only Farida who has one daughter who was married & lived abroad.

Naimah fake laughed & said " Arey inaayat itna oily parantha khaogi? Aur aged lagne lagogi...Just have fresh salad dear "

Inaayat's hunger died hearing her...her heart questioned her 'Kya yeh sab saari zindagi sunna padhega ?

Afsar ordered " Khaane ke waqt koi baat na kare "

The youngsters huffed & continued their breakfast.

Inaayat just drank water & went to kitchen making Rabiya frown.

Rabiya followed her to kitchen & spoke " Inaayat naashta poora karo beta "

Inaayat replied softly " Mera pait bhar chuka hai aunty "

Rabiya sighed & thought how she could make Inaayat feel home when her side of family were hell bent to hurt her.

Inaayat held Rabiya's hand & said " Aunty please Sanni ko yeh sab baatein na batayen"

A clearing of throat made inaayat jump.

It was Afsar.

He spoke " Aunty bhi keh rahi ho aur baatein chupaane ki dhamkiyaan bhi de rahi ho? "

Inaayat ducked her head down.

He continued " Pehle humey Ammi aur Abbu bulao phir sonchte hai "

Inaayat's eyes brimmed with tears.

She thought ' atleast inke liye unwanted nahi hoon mai '

Afsar patted her head softly & said " Beta Thora waqt do mujhe...sab ko line mein khara karwaonga "

Inaayat chuckled at his words.

Her smiled died when she heard haaris say " Ammi...mai Safeer, Naimah aur Safina bahar jaa rahe hai... Dinner bhi bahir hoga...Allah hafiz "

Rabiya was about to stop him but inaayat held her hand & shook her head in 'No'

Inaayat was glad they wouldn't be home whole day...Atleast No bullying today.

Rabiya sighed & watched Haaris leave.

Inaayat went back to Haaris's room... Yes!  she could never call it Her room.

She took her phone & texted Sanam asking how she was.

Sanam replied quickly saying she was good & everyone at home were good too.

She asked how inaayat was... To which inaayat replied she was good & her family was taking good care of her making Sanam relieved.

They texted for sometime talking about random stuff.

After which Sanam said "mai aur Ahmed aaj ghar aayenge "

Inaayat panicked thinking what sanam & her brother will think about Haaris's absence.

She said " Abhi toh gayi ho Sasural chup chap wahin raho yahan bohut guest hai... Baadme aana "

Sanam sent her " 🤨😏😒 Acha ji Baatein toh dekho bhabi ki...abhi se Nanand par rok tok laga rahi hai "

Inaayat sent her " 😌 haan ji ab kya karen " While a smile etched on her lips.

Sanam was happy knowing Inaayat was smiling at their conversation right now.

Then inaayat texted that Farida phupo is calling her & said Allah hafiz.

It was Zohr time... She quickly did wudu & performed Salah & prayed to Allah SWT to bless her with strength & patience ,happiness of her families.

Timed passed quickly while she stayed in room   till magrib.

Rabiya knocked & entered Haaris's room to see inaayat folding her wedding outfit & lost in some thought.

Rabiya spoke " Beta inaayat chalo dinner karne aao...Abbu intezaar kar rahe hai tumhare "

Inaayat put away her clothing in a packet & spoke " Aunt-... Ammi woh maine kuch Snacks khaaye the...mujhe bhook nahi...agar bhook lage toh mai khalungi "

Rabiya sighed & said " Dekho beta mai jaanti hoon tum kis haalaat se guzar rahi ho... Lekin khane peene ka khayal rakho...Abdullah sahab ko kya muh dikhayenge hum "

Inaayat shook her head & said " Aise mat sonche Ammi... Aisa kuch nahi... Bas mujhe bhook nahi warna mai khaa hi leti "

Rabiya nodded & said " Theek hai lekin kal se mai koi bahana nahi sunungi "

Inaayat gave a tight lipped smile & nodded her head.

Rabiya left.

It was passed 11 PM & Haaris wasn't home.

Inaayat changed into her night clothes & went to bed thinking if she slept...she could avoid Haaris without any issue.

It was 1AM when the door squeaked & Haaris entered his room.

He removed his leather jacket & threw it on couch.

He then removed his muddy shoes & kept them there.

He removed his watch, wallet & put it on dressing table when his eyes fell on Inaayat who was sleeping in the corner of his bed.

Even in sleep she looked anxious...her hair were braided tightly... He hated braids.

He rolled his eyes thinking ' good for her ' & took his night clothes to change.

He came out after few minutes, laid down on bed & fell asleep ignoring her presence.

Next day Inaayat woke up to see the entire room messed up with Haaris's stuff.

She was clean freak... She liked everything in its place.

She quickly put away everything & took out a pair of clothes,went to freshen up.

She came out to see Haaris was still asleep... She thanked her stars & went downstairs which was the best place to avoid him.

The days passed quickly.

Safina, Naimah & Safeer didn't passed any rude remarks on her but kept glaring at her daily which confirmed her suspicion about Rabiya giving then an earful for their previous behavior.

She came back to Haaris's room after dinner to see the room was messed up again.

In last few days all she did was clean the room...Haaris noticed the clean room but never gave a thought about it thinking ' maids in the house might have cleaned it '

Inaayat cleaned everything again & sat on bed.

Her phone rang... It was her mother.

She talked to her mother then entire family & assured them she was good & was taken care of.

Inaayat's mother - Tahira knew Inaayat in & out.

She knew when Inaayat lied.

She explained to her " Inaayat beta... Humey maloom hai rishte ki shuruaat acchi nahi thi lekin jo bhi hua Allah ki marzi se hua...aapko iss rishte ko nibhaane ki koshish karni chahiye...Haaris bohot acha ladka hai "

Inaayat was infuriated listening to her mother " Ammi itna hi acha laga toh aaplog rakhlein apne ghar mein...kamra(room) tak theek se rakhna nahi aata usse... Kis chote bacche se baandh diya aapne mujhe "

Haaris who entered his room few seconds ago heard her arguing with her mother.

He was already in a bad mood after his father - Afsar Rahman schooled him for half n hour about 'how he should start acting responsible & take things specially inaayat seriously '

It wasn't hidden from Afsar & Rabiya about absolutely No interaction between them.

They were genuinely worried thinking their daughter - Sanam was being treated like a queen by her in laws & husband but they weren't able to give Inaayat an ounce of happiness.

Sanam's rash decision was stressing them...they never thought inaayat could be Haaris's wife obviously due to the age difference but now that it has happened they didn't want it to break...inaayat was a beautiful soul... They wanted to give her all the happiness of the world.

Rabiya always prayed to Allah SWT to put some sense in Haaris & love in between the duo.

If haaris's previous anger was at level 100 now it was at level 10,000 including bonus levels.

He held inaayat from her elbow & turned her to face him.

Inaayat's one hand was holding her phone & other was held by him.

She furrowed her eyebrows not understanding his sudden action.

She started " Haari-"

Her words were cut off by his lips on hers.

He pulled her close to him by placing his other hand on the nape of her neck & started kissing her roughly.

Inaayat was too stunned to even figure out what was happening.

The phone in her hand slipped & fell on floor.

Haaris moved his lips against her in a brutal manner making Inaayat gasp due to shortness of breath.

Haaris pulled away saying " Agli baar chota baccha kehne se pehle do dafa sonchna"

Tears trickled in inaayat's eyes... She pushed him away with full force & ran into bathroom & locked it.

Haaris gritted his teeth & ran his fingers through his hair in frustration.

He was fed up of his parent's nagging.

He never asked to get him married... He never asked to for all these responsibilities.

He felt like he was trapped in a cage.

Inaayat slumped against the bathroom wall.

Tears rolled down her cheeks.

She forgot how long she was hiding in bathroom until the soft rays of sun woke her up.

The sun was up but she was still finding courage to go out.

She hit herself in frustration.

Scolding herself saying " Ek chote bacche se darrne ki naubat aagayi hai meri"

She didn't understand who she was more afraid of...old Haaris? Or the Haaris she faced yesterday night.

Assalamualikum😊
