ابھی "ع" لکھوں تو سوچے مجھے

پھر "ش" لکھوں تیرے ہوش اڑیں

جب "ق" لکھوں تجھے کچھ کچھ ہو

میں "عشق" لکھوں تُجھے ہو جاۓ

Abhi ain likhun Tu soche Mujhe

Phir shin likhun Tu soche Mujhe

Jab qaaf likhun tujhe Kuch Kuch ho

Main ishq likhun tujhe ho jaye

After 6 months

The warm breeze brushes against the lush trees. The rustling of the branches creates a soothing sound amidst the silence. The bright morning gives hope for another beautiful start.

The sky is cerulean. Its vastness is so wide that when gazing upward, the fluffy white clouds appear tiny. The weather was so light and beautiful that it can brighten up anyone's mood but it's not the same for one person.

"Yar baat toh sun lo,"

"No means no... You can't change my mind,"

As the world was on its way to start the day, here the man was roaming behind his wife who is not listening to anything he wanna say.

"But dia... Two weeks are too much,"

"You said the same when I say two days... So nope, it's final I am going for two weeks,"

"I won't allow it,"

She finally stopped moving around the room as she looked at the big baby who was far from the sulking rude man she thought he was.

Here stood her husband of 6 months, ready for work but begging her to not go to her mother's house. Same thing he does whenever she planned to stay there.

Leaving the clothes she was packing in her bag, she moved toward him as she stood in front of him and started to tie his tie.

A ritual that started after their marriage, Aarish looked down at her as he circled her waist and pull her close while she works under his intense gaze and tries to act like it didn't affect her.

He placed his forehead on her when she was done with the tie and she leaned into him seeking peace. Feeling the love that his presence provided unknowingly for years, but openly for the past few months.

"Please don't go...,"

Sadia sighed as she thought about the past 6 months of her life. It was indeed bliss, Aarish spoiled her so much.

He took one month's leave from work as he took her on the world tour, one month of pure excitement and thrill for Sadia. And she gets to witness a new side of Aarish Qais Sheikh.

Since the day he confessed his love, Aarish got more clingy, not letting her out of his sight, even not letting her go live at her parents' house.

'How will I sleep without your hugs?' Was his excuse and it always make his bride blush.

True to his words, he fulfilled all her wishes, the bucket list she had, the stupid deal that she wrote, and when Anabia called him, yeah he even completed all that.

"Please dia...,"

As he nuzzled her neck, she came out of her thoughts and pulled away to look at him with accusing eyes knowing where will such things lead. But the man just smirked at her, not at all ashamed of his intentions.

"You know why I have to go and stop doing this...,"

"Well you daily go there... why you have to stay the night and I don't know what you are talking about love, I didn't do anything,"

Another thing she witnessed in the 6 months, this man is a big flirt and a shameless person, he never miss a chance to corner her or express his feelings or intentions.

"We had this talk many times... You don't let me live there, I want a few days away from you... You need space from me...,"

Aarish smirk vanished as he narrowed his eyes at his wife again getting hold of her arms and caging her in his strong arms.

"Why do you think I will need a space from you? Huh? Who is putting these stupid thoughts in your mind? I have told you to stop watching those serials they are a bad influence,"

Feeling the need to facepalms any wall, she looked at his blazing mysterious eyes, the same eyes she started to fall for.

It's insane how much this man loved her for years and never told her, she still can't believe she used to run away from him, and now she doesn't want to leave him ever.

She didn't tell him the 3 magical words yet, but she wants to do something special. He had made her life magical so it's only fair that she returns the favor. And she knows exactly when to do it.

"I don't want to leave you or run away... But since our marriage we are always together, sometimes we need personal space and time for ourselves... I feel like it's always about me... I don't want you to neglect your time for me,"

He smiled at her innocent yet stupid reasoning, why would he want time away from her when he died for this time to come for years?

He caressed her cheeks, looking lovely at her as she returned the smile that causes his heart to bloom like a flower.

"Why would I need time away from you dia... I have begged and pleaded Allah miyan to give me this time... Give you to me so I can cherish this, love this, care for this... I don't want time away from you,"

Her heart swooned at his words but she can't give in to his sweet talking and forget the mission. She had to do this and she will do this.

"Yeah but I need time away from you, I need to sleep in my old bed... I need some me time,"

"Did I do something? Can we talk about it? I am sorry I promise I didn't do it intentionally... Please tell me what happened,"

She wanted to cry for making him worry, she knew if she wants to surprise him then she had to do this. But he is not helping with his puppy eyes and cute pout.

"No, you didn't do anything... God, I just miss my bed... And you know it's not entirely for that reason, mama and Imaan api need me... It's her due date any day now and I promised her I will be there to help... And it's Anabia's wedding in two months, I just wanted to help them,"

Holding on to his waist, she talks as she knew he won't argue about this matter. Everyone was excited about the new arrival. She still can't believe it's 6 months since the day they got the news, too much happen in this time.

They were on their honeymoon when her mama called to tell them about the good news, Imaan fainted while working in the kitchen and they rushed her to the hospital.

The doctor informed them that she was already 3 months pregnant but because it was her first, so she didn't realize it.

Sadia wanted to come back the same day, even Aarish was happy but he somehow convinced his wife to not cut their trip short. She made him promise to get many gifts for the soon-to-be mother and baby, as well as throw a big house party when they return.

So Aarish do what he promised to his dia, and they celebrated the good news. Now Imaan's due date is near and there is too much to do, with the upcoming wedding in a few months, she wanna help her sister-in-law and it was a good cover for her mission.

"Please Aarish bh-,"

The words got stuck in her mouth but he was quick to notice, narrowing his eyes at the woman who will be on his death Certificate one day in the column as 'cause of death'.

"What were you going to say beghum huh?"

"N-nothing,"

"Didn't look like nothing to me... I think you owe me, something wife,"

Looking at the man who was smirking evilly, she moved back and cursed herself for that slip of the tongue. After 6 months of being married to this man and she is still stuck with that stupid habit, people say old habits die hard but this habit will get him killed one day.

"Aese kaise... Come here dia... You owe me something and I demand it now,"

"I don't remember anything,"

"Then let me help,"

Cornering her into the closet wall, he looked at her with intense passion, his sinister smirk and shining eyes promising many evil things and her breath hitched.

"So... You remember when I told you a few months ago that whenever you call me that wretched word... I will kiss you, and if you still don't stop and agree to this...then I will start taking your precious deal things and your chocolate stash... And if you still don't stop, then I will possess this body like the demon you called me and show you-,"

"I remember... I remember, stop there,"

He smirked proudly as he helped his wife walk down memory lane, he tapped his lips with his index finger to claim his reward and her punishment.

"You know... I now preferred that grumpy, rude, and mean bagad billa over this majnu, possessive, obsessive, and crazy husband,"

"Jaisa bhi ha ab apka ha beghum, now stop distracting me and give me my reward,"

Making faces because she knows he won't leave her or let her leave this room, she leaned up quickly and peck his lips while he frowned.

"Yeh kya tha...,"

Now it's Sadia's time to narrow her eyes as she took advantage of his momentary distraction and moved out of his arm, speed walking out of the room as she shouted over her shoulder.

"Itne main itna hi milta ha... And I didn't complete the word... And I will go there and stay no argument,"

He mumbled and grumbled as he moved after her, following her down the stairs, trying to stop her but she is far too ahead of him.

"Hey dia... That's not fair... You can't outsmart me,"

"Well, I just did... Now go to work,"

She entered the kitchen and he was going to follow her and not leave the argument without having the last words when a voice stopped him.

"Oye majnu... Kidhr biwi ke peeche ghoom raha ha Subha Subha,"

He turned away to glare at his friend who was sitting on the couch like he own the place with a smug look that burn his soul but he can't be Aarish if he don't spoil his bestie's mood so he spoke the next words in an equal smug tone.

"Well at least biwi ke peeche ghoom raha ho... Teri tarha Nahi,"

"Hey... I am engaged too,"

"And we all know how,"

And just like that Asher remembers the day, this bastard, and finally gives him permission to do what he wanted for years.

Flashback

After his best friend's wedding, he finally got the courage to go to Aarish and asked for something precious from him. The day he came back from his honeymoon, Asher went to his office and sat there sweating for hours.

He was not saying anything until Aarish asked him what he wanted that he utter those words.

"I want to marry Anabia,"

"No,"

The ultimate response came, he didn't get disheartened tho, though he keep trying for two months, and each day the answer was the same.

He didn't wanna involve family because even when Aarish was not her guardian, he respects his best friend too much to ignore his rejection.

So for the next two months, he boots camped at Aarish's office and after two months of begging and promises of keeping her happy, he got the answer.

"Yes... Hurt her and I will relocate all your bones 100 times painfully,"

Finally getting Aarish approval, he wanted to get Anabia's. He knew she felt something but he wanna know if it is something like him or if he misread her. With help of his new Bhabhi and the best friend of his love interest, and the permission of bade bhaiya, he planned something.

"What do you mean he is proposing to that girl today?"

Imagine Anabia's shock when her brother and best friend told her how Asher will propose to the woman he loved for years.

"He said he is tired of being the playboy bachelor and now he wanna settle down, so he finally accepted his feelings and now he will propose to the girl,"

"Did you meet the girl?"

Sadia smirked secretly as when she nodded and acted as being happy while inside she is doing an evil laugh. Her bestie will pay for all the teasing and the stunts she pulled on her.

"Yeah, she is very pretty... Asher Bhai toh even named her... Asher Durrani ki Rani... It's so cool... Haina,"

"Han...,"

Anabia plastered a fake sweet smile but in her brain, she was stabbing and murdering him.

'So he was just playing with me? Oh, he will pay for doing this to me... No one can play with Anabia Sheikh I will kill that jerk,'

"So where is he gonna do this proposal? Did he share?"

Sadia smiled victoriously at her husband who was making faces but ignored him as she turned to her best friend who fell perfectly into the trap.

"Why are you so curious huh? Are you jealous your nemesis is settling down?"

Anabia looked at her bestie aka her sister-in-law with wide eyes, if not for her crazy brother she would have killed this woman for saying it out loud but she knew she won't be alive to see the next day if this absurd woman get a single scratch.

"Are you crazy? Why would I be jealous? Bhaad main Jaye meri baala se... I am just concerned about the woman... Bechari ki kismat phoot gayi,"

"Han... Han... You are saying this... But the woman is so lucky because Asher Bhai is crazy for her... Btw he is going to propose to her in the gym he owned, he said she was the purpose he made that gym so he will use it wisely,"

Remembering how he made the gym a few years ago because a few months ago she was complaining about no proper and safe gym for females? She thought he did it for her, but she was wrong.

Everything flashed in her mind, the sweet-talking, the flirting, the banter and she just wanted to go and see who he loved so much out of blue.

Maybe after seeing him happy with the woman, she will move on, or maybe murdering them both will help her.

Getting the information she needed she went to the gym after two hours and Sadia just called the man she saw the car leaving the premises.

"Thunderstorm incoming, take shelter and hold tight, over and out,"

Barging in the gym that was closed for the said proposal, she looked for the man but didn't find him.

"Durrani... DURRANI YOU JERK!! WHERE ARE YOU?"

"Chal Asher Rani aa gyi ha... Show shuru karte ha,"

Smiling at his woman's fierce call, he patted his heart and mumbled the words before leaving the hiding and putting on a mask of confusion.

"Anabia? What are you doing here?"

She looked at him with eyes similar to her brother, but she always keep him captive, the fire was always intense in her. And today was no different as she marched towards him and hold the collar of his black suit jacket with a strong grip.

His eyes goes wide as he quickly moved away as a sound resonated in the room. Anabia was confused about the situation but felt angrier when he moved away.

"WHAT AM I DOING HERE? YOU ARE SERIOUSLY ASKING ME THAT?"

"Woah woman... Calm down, what with shouting,"

He again moved a little away, totally scared for his safety as the woman looked ready to kill.

"Stop telling me to calm down... Where is that woman? Where is she? Who are you gonna propose today?"

Smiling at her as she asked the question, he chuckled while she glared hotly at him.

"You find my agitation funny? I will kill you DURRANI!!"

"Damn hold on woman... I found your curiosity interesting... So you are telling me you came here barging in just to see the woman I am gonna propose to,"

"As if you will live to do that,"

Her possessiveness give him all answers he needed yet he wanna push all her buttons so he did just that.

"Well, not even death can stop me from telling the woman I love how I feel,"

"Well, then congratulations because death is here for you... Show me this woman of yours or are you just humoring everyone with this imaginary woman,"

Looking at her with a loving gaze he pointed towards the dark corner, the way he looked at her stopped her heart but the fire in her soul was still blazing.

"You have no idea how many times I imagine life with her... But no she is not imaginary... She is right there,"

She doesn't wanna move, it's like her feet are stuck but she still wanna know what kind of woman owns this man's heart, it's more necessary than air at the moment.

She moved slowly as she moved toward the space he pointed to and stood there for a few minutes.

"Hello... Asher where is she? Is this a prank?"

"Not a prank bia... She is right in front of you,"

"Where... Ahhh-,"

A gasp left her mouth as the whole room illuminated but what she saw made her stunned. In front of her was a whole wall of mirrors, from ceiling to floor and she can now see the woman looking back at her with the same expression.

"Isn't she the most beautiful woman?"

He stood there a few feet away from her but she can still see his reflection, she was still surprised, here she was planning to commit murder today and he gives her the shock of her life.

Pointing one finger towards her chest and one at the mirror she looked at him with questioning eyes, the curiosity and the pleading clear, and he ends all her questions.

"It was a trap haina... It was me?"

A sigh of relief left her mouth, as she felt her tense body relaxing but soon she looked up with wide eyes as she heard his next words.

"I might have not loved you like your crazy brother loved your best friend but I do have some craziness and majnu genes stored away for exclusively you...,"

"Why?"

He smiled as he still looked at her through the mirror, his eyes holding all the adornment he had in his heart for this woman.

"Because no one challenges me like you do, no one can handle me like you do... I can have any woman who will say yes to my every demand but I don't want that... That will get boring after a few years... With you, I know I be on my toes for years... So will you accept me miss sheikh?"

Nodding at the reflection of the man who give passion and fire to her soul, he sighed in relief as he felt relief but it was short-lived as something or something started to hit him.

She was smiling at the proposal but then she remembered what happened and why she is here soon her eyes narrowed as she turned around and dashed to him, hitting him while he shields himself from the powerful yet non-damaging blows.
