Asmara and Sara were sitting in their room...having the sisters talk...after Asmara met her parents.

Sara:"Asmi...I miss you!"

Asmara:"Saru...me too but you know now we all will stay together...I am so happy!"

Sara:"yes me too but I'll miss my friends."

Asmara:"you are right...me too,I will miss Sana but we will come in vacations na so we can meet our friends."

Sara:"hmm...asmi api but now you consider it as your little sweet honeymo..."

Asmara:"Saraa!!"

Sara:"haha...btw Hashim bhai is romantic or not?"

Asmara:"Saraa...what's your problem!!!"

Sara:"hehe...I know he is!"

Asmara:"you are a devil...stupid!"

Sara:"oh seriously...!"

And their talks continued.

In the evening Hashim came to

pick Asmara up back home as they had the early morning flight.

Asmara hugged her parents and sister...she was again emotional but Her family was cracking jokes time to time to comfort her.

In the car Asmara kept silent and Hashim just focused on driving...both of them didn't talk.

When she got up from car and started heading towards house enterance,Hashim saw stain on her dress!!!

He immediately moved towards her and put his arms on her shoulders.

"Come straight to room!"He whispered in her ear.

Asmara frowned.

"Oh you came!"Mrs.Ahmed was excited seeing them and asked them to have seat with her.

Asmara nodded but Hashim grabbed her wrist and said:"Mama we are a little tired...we'll come just in a while!"Hashim said dragging Asmara with him inside the room.

"Hashim...Hashim,what happened?"Asmara was surprised.

"Nothing...just come na!"Hashim replied.

"Ok Hashim but...!"

"No buts...just change your clothes!"Hashim said softly.

"Why...?"Asmara asked.

"Just wear some dark dress...red or black please!"Hashim requested.

"Okay...I'll change into any nightwear!"Asmara shrugged her shoulder and went to closet,grabbed her dress going to bathroom

When she began to change her dress she noticed the stains on dress which were none other than the monthly period stains.She gasped and felt so much embarrased as Hashim had seen her like this...tears sprung down from her eyes...She changed into her nightwear using her sanitary napkins which were already placed in the drawer in bathroom

She kept crying inside the bathroom trying to control her sobs because she doesn't have that much courage left to face Hashim.

Inside the room Hashim was sitting waiting for Asmara to come out...he himself felt awkward thinking of what he will talk to her on this matter now...the time passed but she didn't come out so Hashim knocked the door...

Knock!!

Knock!!

"Come out titli!"Hashim requested.

And he heard her sobbing loudly.

"Asmara...Hey,titli,come out..you okay,need something!"Hashim got panicked.

"Asmara meri jaan,everything is okay come out na...mama is waiting outside!"Hashim lied.

"I...I am ...coming!"Asmara replied rubbing her tears off her cheeks and wiping her eyes.

After few seconds Asmara came out...Hashim understood in which delimma she was so trying to ease this tension between them Hashim decided to talk to her on this topic at that very moment.

"Come here,sit with me!"Hashim said holding Asmara's wrist and pulling her on the couch beside him.

Asmara sat down but she was continuously looking downwards as she was unable to meet his gaze.

"Asmara...you are fine na,or is it paining?"Hashim asked and Asmara's head bowed down more.

"See here,look at me!"Hashim said holding her chin up with his forefinger and thumb.and she started crying.

"Asmara...don't just don't cry...meri jan,its all normal,I am your husband,you are not exposed in front of anyone else...we are each other's spouse...we have to live our whole life together,we have a long journey ahead,so this is the part of life...hmm...you know...Allah has given these rights to your husband that he can cherish your body and so can you...he can know all about his wife...her little things...he should know his wife better than she knows herself...its not bad...ok....I am all yours and you are all mine,there is nothing to hide...we can share our everything with each other"Hashim said and placed his lips over her forehead kissing her gently.

Asmara hugged him tightly...literally throwing herself on Hashim.

"Meri Jaan!"Hashim said running his fingers in her hair gently.

"Aah!!!"Asmara whinced in pain as she was having severe cramps and her stomach is aching badly.

"Asmara...do you need anything,shall I call mama??"

Hashim asked being concerned.

"Hashim I will do it myself,no need to call aunty...I just need some raisins and lukewarm milk!"

Asmara replied getting up from Hashim's grip.

"Ok boss...I will bring you one,just wait a minute,actually I don't know na which things are good at this time."Hashim pulled Asmara back in his lap and said the last part while scratching his neck.

"Hashim...no,Its not good to order husband!"Asmara said throwing her arms behind Hashim's neck and locking them.

"Is that so?"Hashim asked placing his hands on Asmara's waist and pulling her more into him.

Asmara nodded with a wide smile.

"So what's good...kissing your innocent husband?"Hashim said mischeviously gently massaging her lower back to sooth her pain.

Asmara got shy listening to Hashim"So what...Its my right!"

Asmara said confidently but while saying so all blood rushed to her cheeks making her blush profusely.

Hashim chuckled and said:"don't you want to use your right then?

Its a good chance wifey!"Hashim winked.

Asmara bit her lower lip...

"Hey don't bite them...these are only mine to bite!"Hashim said freeing her lip out of her teeth and pointing towards his own lips he said "You can have these!"

And just listening to him she felt her breath hitched.

"May I?"Hashim titled his head and whispered over her lips brushing his nose lightly on hers...her breaths were erratic,her hold on his neck tightened,her gaze shivered.

Asmara was in a dire need for the kiss as Hashim was brushing his nose over hers.

Hashim huskily spoke again

"May I?"

Asmara closed her eyes and nodded her head immediately.

Hashim thought of teasing her a bit so he said:"ok then,get off of my lap,I'll bring milk!"

Asmara's mouth hung open on the thing which he did to her.

"Close your mouth,I'll come in a while!"Hashim said and exited the room.

Asmara whined out of frustration and jumped to her side of bed burying her face in the pillow.

"Hashim is so bad,I'll talk to him now!"

"Cursing your husband is bad!"Hashim said placing the milk on the table.

"I am sleepy,turn off the light!"Asmara said covering herself with the duvet.

Hashim chuckled and said:"so bossy...aren't we?

Hashim removed duvet off her face and Asmara frowned puffing her cheeks.

Hashim leaned over her and gave a quick peck on her lips:"sorry!"

"I was just teasing you...and it was worth it...my little wifey!but now drink the milk,till then I'll offer prayer and we'll sleep later,the luggage is packed already!"

"JazakAllah Hashim!"Asmara said smiling.

Hashim frowned then raised his eyebrow asking "for what?"

Asmara just passed a smile and said:"let's go...we should spend some time with aunty uncle and Ayesha Api before going!"

"Hey...my wife is smart,I didn't know this before!"Hashim teased Asmara.

"Hashimmm!!"Asmara whined.

"Ji Hashim ki Jan!"

"You are fine now...any cramps?"

Hashim asked.

"No...its better."Asmara replied.

Afterwards they went to living room,had good talk with the family and finally retired to their room.

"Asmara...just sleep,I'll join you in a while,I have to keep tickets and passports in a bag and call the manager beforehand!"Hashim said.

Asmara nodded and tried to sleep but in vain...In these days she only slept on Hashim's shoulder and now she is just tossing and turning waiting for Hashim to join her in the bed but Hashim was sitting on the couch talking to someone on the phone.

"Hashim?"Asmara called.

"Hm?"

"Please...when will you sleep,its already 11:00pm...!"Asmara said.

Hashim got up from his place and went to bed,still talking on the phone he covered Asmara with the duvet gesturing her to sleep.

Asmara removed the duvet and went to couch...she was acting childish because she wanted Hashim's attention.

"Okay so I'll meet you tommorrow...bye Ms.Noor!"

Hashim said and hung up the call.

"Asmara...why are you sitting here...aren't you feeling sleepy?"

Hashim asked moving towards his wife.

"Who is noor?"Asmara asked.

"What?"Hashim said wriggling his brows.

"Noor?"Asmara repeated.

"Um...my P.A,actually baba hired her as my P.A,she is quiet good at the office things."Hashim replied sitting next to her,he felt his wife's possessive side but just ignored.

"Ok!"Asmara replied and kept her head in Hashim's lap straightening

her legs on the couch.

"Asmara!"

"Hashim please sula den na!"Asmara whined grabbing his hands and putting them in her hair,gesturing him to caress her hair.

Hashim was again amazed seeing her attention seeking side:"Asmara...we can't sleep on couch,let's move to bed!"

"No...I am sleepy!"Asmara said in sleepy baby voice.

Hashim scooped her up in his arms,Asmara gasped:"what are you doing?"

"This is not the first time,I am doing it since our nikkah titli!"Hashim replied smilingly.

"Seriously?"Asmara was surprised.

Hashim nodded his head:"but everytime,you were sleeping,so you didn't get to see my efforts!"

and placed her on the bed.

Asmara gave a toothy smile and pulled Hashim on the bed:"let's sleep!"

"Ok!"Hashim replied and straightening his arm he said:"here your pillow!"

"Oh...I don't need any!"Asmara replied mischeviously.

"Is that so?"Hashim asked.

"Yes.!"

"Sure?"

"If you are insisting so I can give my pillow a chance!"Asmara said and grabbing his arm she placed her hand over it.

"You are getting smart day by day!"Hashim said.

"Oh...nahi tou,I am just so innocent!"Asmara replied.

"Yeah!yeah...I can see your innocence!...button nose!"Hashim said pinching her nose.

"Ok,let's sleep na,otherwise we'll get late for flight!"Asmara said.

"Hmm...good night!"Hashim said and snuggled her more into him.

Early morning after bidding everyone goodbye they headed to airport,had their breakfast on airport itself and boarded the flight.

"Hashim...its so scary here,Haye I can't see outside...Allah!"Asmara grabbed Hashim's hand tightly when the flight took off.

"Just a few minutes,it will be alright...nothing to get scared off...just look at me,you know I wasn't expecting that when I'll return to Dubai...my bundle of joy and happiness would be with me...sometimes the third wheelers make us more closer...as Aliya did!"Hashim engaged Asmara in the talks trying to divert her attention as he knew,she will start screaming if she gets more afraid.

"Hashim,you know she is the scariest person I have ever seen,so evil eyes and her actions make me sweaty and afraid...she is just so obsessed with you...!"Asmara said remembering all her encounters with Aliya.

"Leave her...just see outside,we are already in the air...flying!"

Hashim pointed towards the window.

"Oh wow...Hashim,its so nice here,all cloudy!"Asmara said enthusiastically.

"Now...enjoy the journey!"Hashim said and after a while he slept.

Asmara was still looking outside when she heard:"sir...ma'am?"

"Hey..hey,hey...let him sleep,tell me what you want?"Asmara replied.

"Refreshment ma'am!"The air hostess said placing the food and juice on the table.

"Okay...thanks!"Asmara replied with her wide signature smile.

Dubai international Airport....

The flight landed and they came out after the checking procedure was done.

"Hashim...who is here to pick us up?"Asmara asked.

"My friend Ali...he is in the parking area let's move!"Hashim said and they moved outside.

"Assalamoalaikum Ali...how are you?"Hashim said hugging Ali.

"Walaikumusalam...I am fit!"

"Salam bhabhi!"Ali greeted Asmara.

"Wasalam bhai!"Asmara smiled.

"Hashim,its so hot here!"Asmara whispered.

"Get into the car bhabhi!"Ali said and Hashim nodded.

After the drive they reached their apartment which was on the 12th floor of the huge building.There was the vast park infront of the building.

"So check,how's our house!"Hashim said.

"Its so beautiful Hashim..!"Asmara replied.

"Hashim...the food is on the dining table...I am going,call me if you need anything!"Ali said and moved out of apartment.

"Hashim you informed mama baba about our safe arrival?"Asmara asked while they were having meal.

Hashim nodded.

"Let's Take some rest...we'll go outside in the evening!"Hashim said.

"For what?"Asmara asked.

"Grocery shopping!"Hashim said sarcastically.

"Oh I don't want to go!"Asmara replied.

"We'll go to the beach silly...grocery is already here!"

Hashim replied slightly slapping her head.

Asmara smiled cheekily and said:"sorry...I thought you were seriously asking about grocery shopping!"

"Because you are a dumbo!"
