Asalam o Alaikum and Hello beauties!!!

Who miss me?

Again sorry for not updating but I promise to get back on track now...

No one really messaged to know if I am alive or well... It's like always update soon and often or update already

No one know what I have been going through... But it's ok... A little disappointed but we will get better...

Your girl just got graduated Alhamdulilah... With amazing grades so I was busy there and some personal reasons which includes my family member health...

This is the reason I didn't update more regularly... But no one care... Why a person who update like thrice or sometime 4 times a week is not updating at all...

It's ok now... I am good... And I am sorry for ranting but I have to get it off my chest... Feeling much better now...

Hope you all are good... I am a bit demotivated... So please help me get more motivation to work and update...

Enjoy the update ☺️

Keep loving and supporting ❤️

"پاس رہتا ہے دور رہتا ہے۔۔۔

کوئی دل میں ضرور رہتا ہے

جب سے دیکھا ہے اُنکی آنکھوں کو

ہلکا ہلکا سا سُرور رہتا ہے۔۔۔۔!!!"

(Paas Rehta Hai Door Rehta Hai

Koi Dil Main Zarur Rehta Hai

Jab Se Dekha Hai Unki Aankhon Ko

Halka Halka Suroor Rehta Hai...)

Azlaan and Rumi arrived late because they were stuck in traffic but Azlaan was not the one complaining he kind of loves each moment spend with her but Rumi was another story.

Amal was also enjoying their company very much. After half an hour much to Rumi's dismay, they reached the mall.

They didn't know where everyone was so they just walked inside and roamed around.

Rumi remembered kinza told her to call them when they reached because she wanted to shop for amal dresses and accessories.

But she forgot to bring her phone at home, she didn't want to ask Azlaan for his but alas luck was not always with us and today is definitely her lucky day.

She stopped suddenly to think about her certain predicament and bumped into Azlaan who was walking behind her with amal in his arms.

He raised his eyebrows to ask about her sudden halting.

"Wo...can you call yawar bhai?"

She asked him with unsure eyes while he answered her with his own question.

He didn't like another man's name from her lips even if it was yawar who was happily married but then shook his head at his stupid thoughts.

"Why?"

"Kinza bhabhi wants to buy amal dresses and accessories... she can't if we have her,"

She replied annoyed and rolled her eyes at his stupid behavior as he nodded at her words.

"Ok, I will... here hold her for me,"

He said giving amal to her and pulled out his phone to call Yawar.

"Meri Bari inka muh hi nahi khulta... Had hai Bhai...,"

He narrowed his eyes at her who was now talking with amal in a baby voice making cute faces. He murmured but then heard Yawar voice on the other side.

After telling yawar about their location he put his phone back and turns his attention toward both his babies.

"Come on let's go to that boutique...they will come there,"

He spoke politely again take amal from her hold. She was going to walk behind him when he turned to look at her.

"Oh...And kitten don't roll your eyes at me again... I promise the consequences will not be good for you,"

Azlaan said walking toward the shop with a proud smirk on his face and blabbering baby in his arms as he left her behind shocked and dumbfounded.

"Come on Rumaisa... don't stand there... I can't lose you... Chacho will kill me,"

Rumi got out of her shock at his next words as he again stopped with his strides and call her.

She huffed in annoyance and followed them with mixed emotions on her face.

....................................

Wajeeh was waiting for Zubaria as she had gone inside the changing room after selecting a light bridal dress.

He was looking at his phone to pass the time.

"Stupid shopping idea... mama ne beti ka rasta saaf karne ke liye bety ko qurban kiya hai,"

He wanted to be anywhere but here, pretending to be happy about all this drama.

He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't notice Zubaria emergence from the changing room. Zubaria cleared her throat to get his attention.

He came out of his thoughts at some voice and when he notices the scene in front of him, he was mesmerized, speechless, and whatnot.

She was looking ethereal like some princess came out of the fairy-tale.

If she was looking magnificent without any makeup and jewelry then what will happen when she will doll up as his bride.

His bride, his possession, he thought with a smirk. He was openly checking her out without any shame in the world.

She blushed extravagantly in embarrassment and lowered her eyes but his eyes didn't move from her.

He takes predatory steps toward her petite form adorned in a simple light blushed pink dress with stone embroidery.

She felt his movement and within minutes he was in front of her eyes with minimum distance between them.

He cupped her cheek and moved her face upward-looking directly into her eyes deeply.

This act was anything but romantic, it was intimidating for Zubaria as she gulped at the sudden change of events.

"Kafi haseen lag rahi hain... you choose this dress for a purpose right... you want to trap me with your beautiful huh,"

He asked smirking with a mischievous glint in his eyes as he saw her wide eyes and shocked face that soon turned red, not with blush but with red hot rage.

He wanted to intrigue her, and he was successful in doing so.

"I have no interest in trapping you... remember we are here for shopping so this is me trying dresses so we can get out of here as soon as possible... now leave me,"

Zubaria said angrily as she tried her best to control her tears that burn her eyes but she will not cry in front of this heartless man.

She was not expecting him to accuse her of such a low act and pushed him away.

"Well that's bad... you are going to be my wife soon... you had to have an interest in your future husband... don't you think beghum?"

He asked innocently and his actions made her want to kill him.

He wanted to irritate her and its working perfectly, as she played in his hands just right.

"Future husband... not husband so please stay in your limits and stop calling me with that title... you have no right,"

She said with blazing eyes and a hard tone while he just smirked at her with victory shining in his eyes.

She was trying her best to not cry in front of this man but he was testing her patience today.

He was a stone-hearted man and he will surely enjoy her breakdown and that's not something she wants.

Saying this she turned to go, remove this dress but his smug voice and next words stopped her in her track.

"Haq ki baat na hi karein tu behter hoga... kyu ke agar baat Haq tak gayi tu bohat purani baatin bhi khul jaye gi... and I can call you anything because if I recall correctly then you Zubaria beghum... you are mine from the start... the ring in your finger is enough to claim my rights,"

He said triumphantly and his mere words burn her soul to the core making it hard to control the tears anymore.

He knew his words will hurt her but the hurt he was feeling for years was nothing to her so why he cares.

"This is only starting Wajeeh... just the start...either I will burn her or be burnt with her,"

He thought as he saw her marching toward the changing room with her back facing him but he notices her shaking body and even if it pains him, he turned a blind eye to it.

She came after changing and goes toward the payment counter with the dress in hand because she didn't want to waste another moment in his presence.

Zubaria was going to pay for the dress but Wajeeh has already beat her and give his shining black card to the cashier who was busy eyeing Zubaria who was oblivious to the fact and it boiled Wajeeh blood as he fisted his hands and clenched his teeth.

He wanted to rip the cashier's eyes for eyeing his women but don't create a scene. He moved in front of Zubaria and leaned in to whisper in the cashier's ears so Zubaria can't hear him.

"Look at my wife again and you won't be able to see anything again because I will make sure of it," he whispered angrily.

His eyes were showing the sincerity of his words and the cashier quickly lowered his eyes muttering sorry.

Wajeeh scoffed at him snatching the bags from his trembling hands and holding Zubaria one hand in other he goes outside, dragging the poor soul behind him.

Zubaria gasped at his touch and the tingling sensation in her hands and body started, her traitor body always betrayed her.

She was confused, shocked but most of all dumbfounded at his actions.

"Come now... let's go and meet everyone... it's enough shopping for today,"

Wajeeh said still feeling angry at that man's actions as he dragged Zubaria with him, and he didn't even notice it until she called him.

"Wajeeh...,"

Getting no response as his grip to tighten on her wrist so she called him loudly this time making him snap out of his angry trance and making him snap at her.

"Wajeeh!!!"

"What the hell woman? What do you want now?"

She flinched at his hard tone but with great courage spoke up again and he realizes his mistake feeling guilty for a fraction but soon masks his expression like always.

"Mera haath...,"

Zubaria said pulling at her hand in his grip. He left her hand and moved ahead after a moment without saying another word.

She just trailed behind him still stunned at his behavior.

"Pagal admi...,"

She murmured rolling her eyes and follows him as he called the others to know about their location and Zubaria prayed to meet her siblings soon and be away from this man as soon as possible.

...........................................

Azlaan and Rumi were walking around the aisle and racks filled with beautiful party wear.

They were waiting for yawar and kinza who approached them, hands already filled with bags.

Azlaan rolled his eyes because he knows its yawar things more than kinza.

That man whined about his wife's enthusiasm for shopping but he was himself a big shopper.

"You guys reached late... we have already shopped everything now just amal stuff remains,"

Yawar said trying to take amal from Azlaan hold but amal hide her face in his neck teasing her father. Azlaan chuckled at her antics and yawar made annoyed faces.

"Yeah... got stuck in traffic,"

He replied eyeing Rumi who was talking with kinza about some shop and their collection looking so relaxed and he just shook his head turning toward yawar.

"Hey, traitor... come here to baba... we have to buy beautiful dresses, accessories, and toys for you princess,"

Yawar again called his daughter but she was in the mood to tease her father.

After five minutes of teasing and arguing, yawar and kinza were successfully take amal from her two favorite people and went to the baby shop bidding farewell to the other couple.

"So shall we kitten?" Azlaan asked amusedly.

He wanted to shop with her but saw her annoyed expressions on his request which were adorable to him.

"I will go find Roshane and Kabir... you can do your shopping,"

She replied hastily wanted to disappear from there quickly. She moved to run away from him but he blocks her way and narrowed his eyes at her.

She lowered her eyes because he was so intimidating and the bulging muscles of his biceps that outline his well-built body are scaring her.

"Don't even think about running away kitten... we are going to shop together either you came willingly or I have to do it the hard way... also everyone else had already done their shopping so its best if we start and not waste time arguing,"

He said sternly but his tone was soft and deep.

She narrowed her eyes at his words but as she was looking at his chest he can't see her face properly but he knows that she was vexed about this whole situation.

He holds her chin with his thumb and index finger, pulls it upward, he can saw a storm of emotions in her eyes but confusion and uncertainty were the most prominent in those beautiful orbs.

Her eyes were the window to her soul and he can see her bewilderment in her grey orbs but didn't know how to assure her.

"Hey don't lower your eyes... they are too beautiful to let down... now come kitten... let's go before they leave us here," he said with adoration in his voice.

She can see the sincerity of his words in his eyes but she was too confused about everything.

Her elder cousin was behaving differently with her and she was not understanding her emotions and feeling when he was close to her.

She nodded her head moving away from him and his touch to follow him toward the racks to look for the right dress ignoring everything for time being and just focusing on her zubi api wedding and the task at hand.

................................................

Palwashy was close to losing her mind, Roshane was trying everything in her power to irritate and annoy palwashy with the help of her partner in crime, while Kabir was enjoying this live telecast and also bought popcorn to complete the scene.

He had nearly died of laughing every time Roshane made palwashy wear something ugly and tacky that she looks like a jokester.

Roshane has again pushed palwashy inside the changing room with a handful of weird dresses a few moments ago.

"I am not wearing these... nope these are for old ladies... and if not for old ladies it always neon... who wear neon green to their sibling wedding?"

When palwashy finally protested about roshane choice of clothes and how horrible she is at this.

Roshane shut her up with the answer that made it easy to fool the Affandi princess.

"I know api... I understand but you know how much I love to spy on people and I find out that azlaan bhai likes such colors. America had dulled his color senses and he like bright colors... I just want you to look good so bhai can only see you,"

Roshane whispered the last words in palwashy ear and quickly nodded her head because she wanted to charm her elder mamu's son.

"Ok I will try these but I won't show you guys... I will come after I check this pile so it might take some time,"

"No problem... you take your time... we will just browse here and there... we also need to buy clothes... you go,"

After pushing her inside the cubicle, roshane silently locked the door from outside by placing the chair top in the knob and turned toward her partner with a grin but frown when she saw her best friend who was laughing his bum off.

Roshane rolled her eyes and dragged him away from the shop so not alert palwashy.

He was laughing wholeheartedly with tears in his eyes and an aching stomach when he looked at her.

"What's so funny idiot?"

"Hey!!! You tricked Madonna into buying the most comical and ugliest clothes they had in the shop and the color... eww... the puking emoji had better color... and using Azlaan bhai was the last strike... it was epic... you... my friend needs Oscar for this. But why did you lock her there,"

"I also need some peaceful time and we didn't shop anything for us... that chamak challo took all the time... that's why... that's the weirdest shop in the mall and it had non-existent customers and two sale persons who were busy gossiping so we can now shop without caring about palwashy api ruining anything,"

Kabir looked impressed at her observations and planning but he still asked smugly making roshane chuckle and shrug her shoulders.

"What if she again gives tantrum about being locked there,"

"We didn't know... we leave as soon as she entered the cubicle to shop... maybe it's the staff or some naughty kids,"

Her answer made him chuckle as they high-fived and looked at each other with wide grins.

"So now we are free from the whining of palwashy api... shopping karein?"

"Naiki aur poch poch... lets go oalf,"

He rolled his eyes at yet another nickname and he just moved with his best friend without any worry and a relieved smile on their faces.

Kabir and Roshane were looking at clothes for themselves for a few moments, roshane also told him how she takes palwashy hand-bag so she can't call anyone.

It's just 15 minutes and they will soon go back to free the princess.

Kabir was roaming the racks when an idea came into his mind and he quickly moved toward roshane who was helping him selecting a few articles of shalwar kameez.

"Hey roshi... I got an idea... what do you say about we twining?" Kabir asked grinning widely.

"Not bad idea Olaf... but I choose the color," she replied smilingly.

"Ok as you wish... let's go before the whining queen get free and kill us,"

Kabir said giggling like girls making roshane grinned at his words and nod toward the cloth racks to look for the perfect one.

..................................................

Rumaisa was done with her shopping within 30 minutes and that impressed Azlaan immensely.

He was observing her every move and expression with hawk eyes.

He has also purchased a dress matching with Rumi but she didn't know that.

He was quite happy with his ninja skills and how he was able to find kurta in that specific color even if in a lighter shade.

"If you are done shopping which I must say is very impressive because this is the fastest shopping with any women I have been....can we go everyone must be waiting for us?" he said smirking.

She frowned at what he meant by any women, did he do this with many girls, of course, look at him he was walking Adonis a Greek God with his looks and personality.

Why am I thinking about his relation and looks, stop thinking absurd things Rumi, she thought and mentally scolded herself.

He saw her lost in her thoughts and her confused face made him realize what he said inflow but he also gets amused at her cute confused face. He called her to justify his previous statement.

"I mean Ammi and both Chachi's took forever for their shopping even phupho was crazy about shopping I heard many shopping manias from them... but you get it done within half an hour,"

He said smilingly and she just nodded at him. Her expression softens hearing his words, she was not aware of her reactions to his words but he was contemplating her.

"Baba said why waste time looking at other things when you love something at first sight... so. That's what I do... I observe everything and whatever I like most, at first sight, I buy it... but only if I need it,"

She replied innocently and didn't know the effect her words had on his heart.

He was looking at her mesmerized with so much purity and innocence that it does things to his heart.

"Yeah, that's right... Chacho hamesha sae baat bolty hai... why look at others when you fell in love with that thing at first sight,"

He said intensely looking at her with the hidden meaning behind his words.
