Asmara's Pov....

It was 2:00pm when I woke up due to Sara's shouting near my ear.

"Asmara darling get up...Mama is calling you for lunch!"Sara shouted.

"Um Sara...just 5 more minutes na?"I replied.

"Get up and come downstairs!"

"Okay,I am coming!"

I went to the dining table and start having meal.

"What are you thinking Asmara?"

Mama asked sensing my facial expressions.

"Umm...mama nothing!"I replied.

"Is there any problem with Hashim?"Mama asked.

"No mama everything is fine...!"

I replied.

"You look tensed Asmara...is it because of your test or any other reason?"Mama asked.

"Mama..its just because of test!"I lied.

"It will be good beta...don't stress out!"

"Hmm..mama,ok I going,I should study now!"I said and headed to my room thinking about all the things which happened today...

I thought for a while and dialed Hashim's number...I just want to talk to him.

Hashim cut my call at the very first ring...I got tensed,I redialled his number,he again cut the call,after waiting for 5 minutes I dialed his number again...

He picked up the call:"If I am cutting your call...so it means I am busy,can't you understand...don't you dare to call me again...I am in no mood to listen to your stupid blabberings!"

I hunged up the call saying sorry.

"Hey...asmi api you are crying?"Sara said entering the room.

"No..I am not!"I said wiping my tears.

"Everything okay?"Sara asked.

I nodded my head.

"Hashim bhai said something?"

Sara asked.

"He shouted on me!"I replied.

"Why?"Sara asked.

"I don't know!"I replied.

"Api don't take it at heart...he will apologize."Sara said.

"Where is my phone!"I said hastily.

"Right beside you"Sara said giving me the phone.

I grabbed the phone and started typing the text

"Hashim,I won't call you from now on,I didn't have any idea that you are busy.I am sorry,please don't get angry...sorry sorry.

If you need any sorry gift I'll give it to you,anything you want but please don't get angry...sorry."

And I pressed the send button.

Hope he will not get more angry.

In Omar's Cabin...

Hashim was flaring with anger listening to Ahsan...

Ahsan told that he wanted to prove Asmara characterless by editing her pictures and sending it to Hashim and Aliya was the one behind it...she forced Ahsan to do so as she was his senior and she also paid a handsome amount of money for this purpose....

Hashim was about to burst on Ahsan when he got Asmara's call,he cutt the call but she called again...Hashim picked up the call and poured all his furstation on Asmara....

Omar was ashamed because of Aliya's deed.He calmed Hashim down and said he will sort the matter out just give sometime,Hashim stood up from the chair and said"we will talk in home,see you!"and left the cabin.

In the car he was thinking about Aliya's cheap act,he was getting more and more angry...he had just forgot that he shouted on Asmara without any reason.

When he reached his home,he went directly to his room and went for a bath to calm down his anger.

When he came out of the shower,he grabbed his phone from side table and saw text from Asmara he opened it and saw Asmara's cute little pleadings and he remembered that he shouted on her...he cursed himself for shouting at her and really felt low of himself,he texted her

"No need to sorry...!!"

Her reply came in an instant.

"You are not angry anymore?"

He replied"No...meri jaan!"

Asmara:"I was so much worried!"

Hashim:"I am sorry Asmara,I was at fault...you just don't worry."

Asmara:"I am all good now🙂"

Hashim:"Good!"

Asmara:"can I call you?"

Hashim dialed her number smilingly....

Asmara:"Assalamoalaikum!"

Hashim:"W/S...how are you meri jaan?"

Asmara:"I am okay!"

Hashim:"sorry...my talking box,I should not have scolded you but I was really angry at that time so I just lost my temper...so sorry titli"

Asmara:"no Hashim,please don't apologize."

Hashim:"you were talking about sorry gift while texting?"

Asmara:"but you said it was your fault and no need to sorry!"

Hashim said in mischevious tone:"I said no need to sorry...but there is dire need for sorry gift!"

Asmara:"you were at fault so,you should be the one to gift!"

Hashim:"oh little wifey...so you are asking for the gift?"

Asmara:"no no no I don't need...no need!"

Hashim laughed and said:"Asmara you really are my mood lifter...seriously I was so angry at this time but you just made me laugh again...my joker!"

Asmara:"I am not any joker Hashim!!"

Hashim:"oops sorry sorry...my loveliest joker!"

Asmara whined:"Hashimmmm!!!

Hashim while laughing:"ok no more teasings!"

Asmara remained quiet.

Hashim:"Asmara.. have you prepared your topics which I taught you today?"

Asmara:"umm...no,actually I was worried and you know whenever I get any tension I feel so much sleepy!"

Hashim:"yes madam you feel sleepy all the time,I know very well"

Asmara:"ok...don't taunt now!"

Hashim:"why would I?"

Asmara:"I am going to study now!"

Hashim:"hmm okay...but remember don't pick any unknown calls!"

Asmara:"you got to know about that Ahsan?"

Hashim:"yes...I'll tell you tomorrow....till then stop thinking about it,the matter is almost solved."

Asmara:"what you did to him?"

Hashim:"Asmara please be a little patient...I'll tell you in person!"

Asmara:"but..!"

Hashim:"no buts titli,just try to understand...I'll tell you and I haven't harmed him...don't freak out."

Asmara:"ok!"

Hashim:"thanks wifey!"

Asmara:"you will not shout at me anymore?"

Hashim:"no...I'll not!"

Asmara:"If you ever want to shout,you can shout but don't ever get angry."

Hashim:"I will not Asmara...and I am really ashamed of myself for hurting my innocent butterfly...!"

Asmara:"Hashim...I also want to ask something from you but in person...not on the call."

Hashim:"Is it so?"

Asmara:"yes!"

After that they chatted for a while and then back to their work,Asmara started studying and Hashim went to Ayesha and Omar which were sitting in the lounge alongwith Omar's mother and Mrs.Ahmed.

He greeted them and sat on the couch.Everybody got aware of the situation till then.

"Aunty sorry I might get angry while talking but please for Allah's sake,I am requesting you not to interfere in my married life...Asmara is my wife and I'll never hear a word against her...I know her inside out...so please ask your daughter to stay away from my wife....I am so disappoint right now aunty...I am thinking myself as Asmara's culprit....she is suffering from the very first day of marriage because of me,because of your daughter....please ask her to think as if Hashim is dead."

"Hashim what are you talking beta?"Hashim's mother said.

"Let me talk mama!"Hashim replied.

"Aunty...your daughter thought I would leave Asmara if I came to see those stupid msgs or any of the mopped pictures...I am telling you aunty I WILL NEVER LEAVE MY WIFE!!!

So please no more need to put any stunt....!"

"So listen to me Mr.Hashim you have to marry my daughter or else your sister will be divorced...all upto you now...you have to Marry Aliya,if you want to keep your little wife with you then keep her but Aliya will be your wife!"

"Omar bhai?"Hashim said in a shocked state.

"Please Hashim!"Ayesha mouthed with pleading eyes.

Hashim saw towards his mother she nodded asking Hashim to say yes to Aliya.

Hashim nodded negatively and went out of the lounge.

"What they all think of him...he will marry the one who is the biggest trouble...he will never...all are gone mad!"Hashim thought to himself.

He went into his room and took sleeping pills (because of all the drama he was having severe headache) and slept.

In the morning....

He woke up with his father's voice

"Hashim get up man!"

"Baba?"Hashim asked.

"When you came baba?"Hashim asked.

"Just an hour ago!"he replied.

"Hashim actually I came here because of all that matter,you know Ayesha is married to Omar from the past one year...not only nikkah but married so she can't handle divorce...please marry Aliya please!"His Father pleaded.

"Baba I am also married and all this is so unfair!"Hashim said.

"But when Ali came to know all this,he said he will never marry Asmara off to you...he will file for divorce as soon as possible."

"No...I'll never divorce her no matter what!"

"I am going to Ali uncle's house,I'll never let my wife go away...never ever!"

"You are not going anywhere!"

"Baba you can't stop me from doing so!!"Hashim said and went out of the room.

While driving Hashim dialed Asmara's number but she was not picking up the call....Hashim got more tensed.

He reached there in hurry and rung the doorbell.

Mr.Ali came to open the door,Hashim greeted him

"AOA uncle!"

Mr.Ali:"W/S,why are you even here?"

Hashim:"I want to talk to you uncle,please let me in?"

Mr.Ali:"come inside but in drawing room only,not in lounge!"

Hashim:"ok uncle..."

They went in the room,Mr.Ali said"have a seat please!"

Hashim sat on the couch and said

"I know uncle you are very much angry on me but I haven't done anything.It was all because of that Aliya and her family....but I refused to marry her because I don't want to....

Uncle whatever you want,I'll do that but please I don't want to leave Asmara...don't do this to me please..."

Mr.Ali was lost somewhere thinking deeply after a while he spoke:"you will have to marry Asmara!"

Hashim was confused:"but we are already married."

"I am talking about rukhsati and Asmara will go with you to dubai..!"

"Uncle,she is still studying.How will it be possible?"

"Don't take tension about any other thing...just give me the answer whether you are ready to marry or to divorce?...its all upto you."

"I'll marry her whenever you want"Hashim replied.

"Uncle but have you discussed it with Asmara,what if she is not ready?"

"Go and convince her...she will agree definitly"

"Are you sure uncle?"

"Yes I am!"

"Okay...I'll talk to her!"

Hashim said and moved to Asmara's room.

The door was closed,Hashim silently went inside opening the door.

Asmara was weeping silently with closed eyes clutching her pendant tightly.Hashim went near her and stroked her hair while calling her name chokingly:"Asmara!"

She opened her eyes immediately and sat straight on the bed.

"Why are you weeping?"Hashim asked with teary eyes.

"I am not...and I'll not tell you anything anymore."Asmara replied wiping her tears.

"Asmara please!"Hashim pleaded.

"When I asked you about the matter of Ahsan...you said leave it,you never told me anything so now I will not tell you!"

"Asmara...please tell me what happened?Is this because of Aliya's matter or our marriage?"

"You...you are going to get married to Aliya?"

Hashim nodded negatively.

"So what is all this...mama told me that you are going to get married so baba will ask for di..divorce!"

"Aliya was behind hurting my love,my life...how can I marry her and do you think I'll leave you?"

Hashim asked holding her hand in between his.

"Asmara...I want you in my life,till death do us apart,I am not leaving you. but will you do something for me?"

"What?"

"Will you marry me?"

"We...we are ma..married!"

"I know,I am talking about rukhsati?"

"Hashim?"

"I am still a student...how?"

"I am not asking you to quit study."

"But...baba?"

"What about uncle?"Hashim asked.

"Will he agree?"Asmara asked.

"He will...you are okay with it?"

Hashim asked as he don't want to force her against her will.

"Hashim...I seriously don't know but I want you beside me always!"

Asmara said looking directly in his eyes clutching his wrists tightly.

Hashim cupped her face gently and gave her a forehead kiss assuring her that everything will be alright.In response Asmara cried more and hugged him tightly,Hashim wrapped his arms securely around her,feeling peace and calmness but her tears,her hiccups were disturbing his heart.

"Asmara,Don't Cry Meri Jaan...I am always beside you...my lovely butterfly."Hashim said stroking her hair.

"Hashimm...am I any burden to you?"Asmara asked still snuggling in his chest.

"Who said so?"Hashim asked.

"Because I always create problems for you...firstly you were forced to marry me and now you are again forced for rukhsati...I feel really bad for you...I am such a mess and you were forced to handle me but no matter what I can't help staying away from you!"Asmara mumbled in his chest.

"I was neither forced then nor now and I really feel blessed to handle this beautiful mess!"

Hashim said stroking back and kissing her hair.

"I'll love to have a messy life ahead,will you bless me with this oppurtunity soon...I can't wait,In short marry me!"Hashim whispered in her ear,Asmara hit his chest in response,Hashim chuckled still close to her ear.

"Ok...I'll make your life messy!"

Asmara smiled widely and hugged him again.
