Asmara's POV....

I ran out of the room to avoid Hashim's teasings....he kissed me again and on the top of it...I reciprocated...I don't know what he is doing to me...his intimacy is doing strange things to me...I never felt it before....his closeness gives me goosebumps...his husky voice shut all my senses...his whisper passes a current down my spine and his eyes...his eyes make me lose all my sanity...it seems as if he is controlling my body as well as my mind but most of all my heart...it beats as if it is going to explode....Ya Allah what this man is doing to me?

And I am so dumb I said "I love you" to him...I don't even know what I feel for him is love or not but...I love being with him,Maybe its love...I'll ask him what love is because there is no one else to whom I should ask...I'll ask him...yes this is good!

"Asmara!"mama called.

"Yes mama?"

"Where is Hashim?"

"In my room"

"What are you doing here?He came here to help you in studies,and you are roaming around?"

"Umm actually mama I I came here to bring something for him to eat or drink...he is a guest na?"

"Ok...tea,milk or juice?"

"Tea!"I heard Hashim coming towards us.

"I will love to have tea,aunty!"He said.

"Ok...I I will make it"I said and started my work.

"Thank God I am saved otherwise Mama would have scolded me for roaming around...Good excuse Asmara..good!!"I thought to myself.

I made two cups of tea and headed to lounge...Mama and Hashim were gossiping...I served the tea to mama and hashim.

"Mama I am going inside...my phone is ringing!"

I came inside and saw Ayesha Api's missed call.

I called her back...

Ayesha api:"Aoa!"

"W/S api,how are you?"

Ayesha api:"I am fine dear...you?"

"I am good."

Ayesha api:"Hashim is at your place?"

"Umm..yes api!"

Ayesha api:"ok...I wanted to know his where he is as he is not picking my call!"

"He is with..."

"Asmara to whom you are talking?"Hashim said entering the room.

"Ayesha Api!"I replied.

"Your husband...he is mad!"Ayesha api said and I laughed.

Hashim took the phone in his hand and put it on the speaker.

"Why are you both laughing Ms.Ayesha?"Hashim asked.

"Hashim...we were discussing your qualities!"Ayesha api said and Hashim frowned"which qualities?"Hashim asked raising his eyebrow.

"Do you want to get embarras infront of your wife?"Ayesha api said while laughing.

"Call your husband...I am busy with my wife,Allah Hafiz"Hashim said and hunged up the call.

"Hashim!"I said.

"What Hashim...don't you want to study Miss,you are wasting your time?"Hashim said sitting on the couch.

"But it is bad to cut someone's call!"I replied.

"She would have teased both of us so it was not bad cutting her call!"

Hashim said.

"You thought he called that's why you came here?"I asked already knowing the answer.

"I just want to rip him apart...that bastard,but I don't know who he is!"Hashim said angrily.

"Hashim don't do all this...why are you inviting the trouble?"I said still standing.

"Asmara you don't even know what he can do with your picture...you know editing pictures and all that...he knows you and he have bad intentions...I have informed one of my friends,he will tell whose number is this...then I'll sort out all the matter... But you don't take tension,just focus on your study,your upcoming test!"Hashim said in a concerned tone.

"Hmm!"

"Come sit here and tell me which topic you are weak in?He asked in teaching tone.

"Chapter 9 and some portion of 2,3."I replied like an obedient student.

After discussing the very first chapter(9),I was feeling exhausted...

"Asmara!!Asmara!!"I heard Hashim's voice from far away...

"Hmm.."

"Sleeping head...stay awake for awhile just last point is remaining!"

"Okay Hashim Hitler!"I murmured.

"What have you just said Asmara?"Hashim asked.

I bit my tounge,"sorry it was just slip of tounge!"

"Sorry gift?"Hashim said bending towards me.

"Ok no sorry!"I said moving backwards.

"Asmara...argument with your husband?"Hashim said raising his eyebrow.

"No!"I said giving toothy smile.

"Good going wifey...but I'll not leave you without my gift!"

"What you want?"I asked.

"Nothing much just say you love me."Hashim said.

"You love me"I said.

Hashim face palmed himself and said "dumbo...leave it!"

I started laughing.

"You can't fool me around,today I forgave you without any gift because today I witnessed love in your eyes for me and you confessed also!"Hashim said.

"Hashim...what love is...umm I mean I love mama,baba,sara,all of you...So what's the difference?"I asked finally.

"The difference is you love your baba as a daughter loves his father,your mama as a daughter loves her mother,Sara as a sister loves her sister and Me as a wife loves his husband....every relation have different parameters of love....that's it,there is nothing much deep thing in it..."

"Hashim when you said you loved me at that time you also said I don't love you...so how you think now that I love you?"

"Just leave all this,You are not much mature to understand what love is and its better to not discuss it...."Hashim said.

"Okay Hashim...!"

"Good!"He replied.

"Asmara...thanks for understanding me,I'll tell you about this whenever there will be the right time.!"Hashim said and held my hands in his caressing them.

"Thanks Hashim...I was so confused about this topic!"I thanked him for teaching me.

"Hmm...no need dear!"Hashim said smilingly.

"You are going now?"I asked.

"Hmm...yes I should leave now,

Mama and Ayesha must be waiting."Hashim said standing up from the couch.

"Hashim! Stay please."I pleaded.

He smiled,came forward,kissed my forehead and said"Asmara don't do this to me...don't get this close to me that It will be difficult for me to live far away from you?"

"Far away?"I asked.

"Where are you going?"I asked.

"Back to dubai!"He replied.

"Why...when?"I asked controlling my tears.

"After 2 weeks,baba and uncle want me to join their work!"He replied.

"Ok...good luck!"I said faking smile.

Hashim hugged me and said:"but for these 2 weeks I thought I am not going to leave you even for a minute but as you have to study,so I should leave na,just sleep for sometime and then study these topics,your concepts are quite good,and don't stress about that idiot's msgs,just forget about that!"

"Okay"I nodded.

"Your tea was quiet good!"He whispered in my ear.

"Thanks" I forced smile on my face.

His phone started ringing,he answered.

Hashim on call:

"yes Whose number is this?"

"Are you sure?"

"Okay..thanks man!"

"Allah Hafiz."

"Who was he Hashim?"I asked.

"Do you know any Ahsan Malik?"

Hashim asked.

"No"I replied.

"This number is registered on Ahsan Malik's name!"Hashim replied.

"How does he know you?...I am confused,but my friend said he will send me his picture and identity in a while...if we don't know him so how he knows us?"

Hashim said confusedly.

I shrugged my shoulders.

"Hashim but how can we recognize him with just picture?"I asked.

"If We can't recognize him,so that means he is an outsider"He explained.

"Okay!"I replied.

"You will come tommorrow?"I asked.

"Yes I'll titli,your two chapters are remaining"He said.

I hummed in response.

"Allah Hafiz!"He said and moved out of the room.

"Allah Hafiz!"I said and sat back on the couch.

Hashim went out of the room and headed directly to his friends home...his friend(Ali) has the degree in legal hacking.

Ali:"Hey Man!long time."

Hashim hugged him:"hey!"

Ali:"don't take tension,here is his whole bio...he is a doctor,just joined hospital as junior doctor,in your Brother in laws' hospital."

Hashim:"what are you saying...what is related to Omar bhai!"

Ali:"Hashim...he knows about your wife and you but you both have never seen him...so how he knows you,it is related to your brother in law...I am sure!"

Hashim:"ok...I'll talk to Omar bhai."

Ali:"In a good way,no anger,okay!"

Hashim"hmm...I should leave now,thanks bhai!"

Ali:"anything for you bro!anyways congratulations for your nikkah,although you never told."

Hashim smiled and said:"on my marriage I'll invite you before everyone,its my promise!"

Ali:"let's see!"

Hashim nodded and said:"Allah hafiz!"

While driving Hashim dialed Omar's number....

Omar:"AOA Hashim!!How are you?"

Hashim:"Alhmdollilah bhai!...you?"

Omar:"I am good!"

Hashim:"Bhai do you know Dr.Ahsan Malik?"

Omar:"yes!he is junior doctor here!but why are you asking?"

Hashim:"Bhai I want to discuss something with you,can you please meet me with Dr.Ahsan but please don't tell him about me!"

Omar:"Hashim what happened?"

Hashim:"I am coming bhai,please call Dr.Ahsan in your room!"

Omar:"okay Hashim!"

After almost 30 minutes of driving Hashim reached hospital and went straight to Omar's cabin.

"Aoa bhai!"Hashim said entering the room.

Omar and Ahsan were sitting their on hearing Hashim's voice,Omar greeted him and hugged him while Ahsan was a nervous,his facial expression changed suddenly due to shock of seeing Hashim infront of him.

"Dr.Ahsan he is my brother in law!

and Hashim,he is doctor Ahsan.

Hashim forwarded his hand infront of Ahsan for handshake,he placed his hand in for handshake hesitantly.

"I should leave sir?"Ahsan asked nervously.

"Sit here please Dr.Ahsan!I want to ask something from you?"Hashim said.

"Y yes!"Ahsan said.

"Why you texted Asmara?"Hashim asked.

"What do you mean?who is Asmara...I don't know about her!"

Ahsan said.

Omar:"what are you saying Hashim?"

Hashim:"these are the msgs he sent to my wife last night...see this is his number!"

"I haven't send any msgs...I don't even know you!"Ahsan said in his defence.

"But this number is yours Ahsan!"

Omar said reading the msgs.

"Why you did this Ahsan...such cheap and low standard deeds,are you even a doctor!"

I'll just file a complaint against you and you will never be able to practice in hospital...."

"Sir please!"Ahsan pleaded.

"Show me your phone and delete her photo,here infront of me!"

Hashim yelled.

"Relax Hashim!"Omar said.

Hashim grabbed phone from his hand and deleted all the conversation alongwith her picture.

"Why the hell you were trapping my wife...we didn't even know you,you filthy piece of shit...why you did so?"Hashim yelled grabbing his collar.

"Don't you dare to do any of such stunt again,otherwise I will kill you!"Hashim said with anger at its peak.

"Why you did so Ahsan? And how do you know Asmara?"Omar asked.

"Sir...I have my reasons!"Ahsan said.

"Keep your reasons to yourself!"Omar said.

"What you wanted to do with her picture?"Hashim asked.

"I am sorry but I was forced to do so!"Ahsan said.

"Who the hell forced you?Hashim said angrily.

"Sir...it was....."
