Hashim POV....

After meeting and talking to my dumbo wife,I got relaxed,she always assume things and one thing which I learned today that she notices little things about me...about us and she gets hurt when I don't talk to her...she really considers me her best friend.

"Hashim,Hashim!"Ayesha came into my room calling my name.

"Hold on,what happened?"I asked.

"Your wife just called me,she asked about your favourite color What's cooking bro,what's the matter?Ayesha asked curiously sitting next to me.

"First tell me which color you told her as my favourite?"I asked,maybe she wants to wear my favourite color today.

"Black!"

"Why black...call her and said its red!"I said.

Her eyes widened"Hashim you are in your senses?"

"Yes I am,tell her its red...please please!"I pleaded.

"Okay but tell me the reason first"she asked.

"I'll tell you but first call her!"I said.

"Okay!"

She dialled her number.

Asmara:"Aoa api!"

Ayesha:"W/S asmi...I actually wanted to tell you that Hashim's favourite color is red."

Asmara:"red? why red?.I mean are you sure?"

Ayesha:"yeah!100% sure!"

Asmara:"okay no problem,thanks for informing api."

Ayesha:"no need dear...ok Allah Hafiz."

Asmara:"Allah hafiz."

"Now why all your teeths are coming out of your mouth,tell me why you said red?"Ayesha said slapping me lightly raising her eyebrow.

"We are going for dinner tonight so I think she wants to wear my favourtite color dress,that's why."I said scratching the back of my neck.

"Oh ho! First date,wow bro and your favourite color is red...well played!"Ayesha said.

"Shut up Ayesha!don't tease me"I glared her.

"Hahahaha...Ok Mr.Hashim I won't tease you!good luck for your date, btw black also suits her."Ayesha said and ran out of the room.

It was 6:00pm when Hashim got Asmara's call.

Hashim:"Assalamoalaikum!"

Asmara:"W/S umm..Hashim when you are going to come...I am hungry actually."

Hashim was again surprised:"you are what?"

Asmara whined:"Hungryyy!"

Hashim smiled:"you got ready?"

Asmara:"yes,just wearing my sneakers!"

Hashim:"ok,I am coming, wait for just 20 minutes?"

Asmara:"20 more minutes?"

Hashim in a sarcastic tone said:"just take a quick nap till then!"

Asmara was overjoyed:"that's the best idea...thanks!"

Hashim face palmed himself and said:"don't sleep...sleepy head,just go in the lawn and have fresh air!"

Asmara:"ok! are you driving?"

Hashim:"yes...titli."

Asmara:"ok ok then we should not talk more...drive safely,Allah hafiz."

Hashim smiled:"Allah Hafiz!"

Hashim's POV...

When I reached there I saw Asmara in the lawn,her back was towards me,hair left open,wearing white and blue lining dress shirt with denim jeans and sneakers She didn't even wear red dress,all my hopes died in my heart.That was ok but carrying her college bag....why is she carrying her bag?I got confused but ready for listening Asmara's logic about this

"Shall we go madam?"I whispered in her ear from behind.

"Ohh!Hashim You sacred me."She said placing her hand on her heart.I kept staring at her as she looked beautiful.

Asmara's look👆

"What happened....Hashim?"Asmara waved her hand infront of me.

"Huh!no nothing!"I replied.

"Let's go then!"she said holding my arm with her both hands and her blabbering started.

"Here!Take this!"Asmara said giving me a gift box and I got my senses back.

"Why are we here ?"I asked as she bought me in her room.

"To sleep!"she replied.

"What?"I said with wide eyes.

She slapped her forehead and said "Hashim!just change your shirt...it's getting late...I can't wait anymore!"

I got more confused with her statement.

"For what?"I asked.

"I am hungry Hashim!"she whined.

"What what are you saying Asmara?"I asked.

"Hashim please I am so hungry."She pleaded.

"Change your shirt please,I bought it myself for you,and you are not even bothering to see it,change into it na please!"

I opened the gift box and saw a red color shirt in it.Oh my Allah,she asked my favourite color for this reason,now what to do,this is my first gift from her,how can I not accept it....but the problem is I never wore red color before.I have to wear it now!

"How's this Hashim?"Asmara asked happily with expectant eyes.

"Nice, It's nice!"I replied.

"Ok Hashim,I am going outside,please come quickly."

I changed the shirt and wore the red one.

"Ma sha Allah Hashim!!you are looking so handsome." Asmara said squashing my cheek.

I smiled but now I have to go restaurant in this red shirt.Allah I never wore red!

"Ok.now my gift?"Asmara said.

"You want it now or after dinner?"I asked adjusting my shirt collar.

"Give me now!"she forwarded her hand.

"Its not bracelet this time so don't put your hand forward"I said moving towards her.

"So what is it?"she asked.

"Close your eyes first!"I said going behind her.

Putting the pendant on her neck,I placed her hair behind and locked the pendant.

"A small beautiful butterfly for my innocent titli..."circling my arms around her waist and I whispered behind her ear,resting my chin on her shoulder.

When I faced her,she had a twinge of red on her cheeks and nose,her ears red and eyes closed tightly.

Cupping her face,I kissed her forehead and said"open your eyes wifey and see the gift."

"No no I can't! I feel shy."She said.

"If you are not opening your eyes then I will..."saying this blew a whistle in her ear.

She closed her eyes more tightly in annoyance.She shouted on me in a high voice.I moved away.

She hugged me tightly"no s... sorry Hashim!"

She moved away a little looking directly into my eyes she said:"Hashim....Hashim I don't know what I am feeling right now,its all so new,but don't go away,I need you please.

I know I lost my control but my ear is aching.I cupped her face and placed a lingering kiss on her temple assuring her that its okay,she smiled and held my shirt's collar.

"I am the luckiest man on earth having you as my wife,my life partner,my better half...Meri Titli."I just kept admiring her.

My phone started ringing,it was Wali.

"Yes Wali!"

Wali:"Hashim!!I am so happy,where are you? am coming to meet you!"

"No Wali,I am busy,I'll meet you tomorrow please!"

"Hashim!I am hungryyy."Asmara whined again holding my arm.

"You are with bhabi?"Wali asked.

"Hmm!"

"Sorry bro,for disturbing yo,go to her,she is hungry"Wali said mischeivously...and ended the call.

"Let's go titli...what you wanna eat?"I asked pinching her nose.

"Umm....pizzahh!"she replied.

"Ok...shall we?"she smiled and held my hand.

In the car....

"Hashim..its so beautiful!"she said holding her pendant.

I smiled seeing her happy.

"But Hashim?"she said in a sad tone.

"This must be expensive...you gave me this bracelet and now this!"

"So?"I asked.

"I haven't gifted you any good thing...only this shirt,I am a bad wife!"she said sadly.

"Asmara...you are my wife,not bad wife and the things don't matter...its just the bond which we share matters!...being a husband I gifted you these things...I bought this pendant with all my heart for you,to just see your smile...I don't need any return gifts,we are not doing any business dear....and honestly I never wore red color before but for you I wore it today!"

"Haw...means you don't like red?"

"No no! I love red"I said.

"Don't taunt now."she said.

"I am not taunting."I said.

"I want to go back home...no dinner!"she said.

"Not this time Asmara...I am not taunting dear I love red color and moreover My love for red doubled up when my wife said:"Ma sha Allah Hashim!you look so handsome"I mimicked her.

She slapped my hand lightly chuckling.

"Come,we have reached!"I said opening the door of her side grabbing her hand.

She came outside and we moved to the restaurant.

Sitting area...

"Order something,which flavour you want?"I asked handing her the menu card.

"Tikka flavour?"

"Tikka flavour?"

We both said in unison.

I laughed and said"ok ma'am...we will order this and tell me the cold drink?"

"Whichever you want!"she said.

I nodded my head and told the waiter our orders.

"Hashim?"

"Hm!"

"I am worried!"

"Why?"

"My entrance test...its in a week or so but how will I pass it?"

"It will be good Asmara...you have already scored well in intermediate"I said comforting her.

"I have scored good but I am bit weak in physics...what will I do?"

"I will help you in it...don't worry

I am free now a days so I'll come there at your house...we will study together...ok?"I said.

"Thank you Hashim...thank you so much!"she squealed in happiness.

Here sir your order....waiter said placing the pizza on table.

"So let's eat now?"I said.

"Its smelling so good!"Asmara said inhaling deeply.

I smiled and said placing a slice in her plate"taste would be more good,eat now!"

"Thank you"she said and started eating.
