to look at those brown shining eyes brimming with tears, to come for her here. She knows the amount of pain she has provided her will shine in her eyes and might as well kill her too.

She feels his hands wrapping around her waist as she stumbles a little and she leans into his touch wanting to disappear from here for good.

"Appi, I am here to meet you". Huda said taking a step near her and she takes one back

"Huda, don't go near here. She might hurt you". Malik- Huda's husband said strictly

She feels his hold tightened around her listening to his words and the anger starts to sweep off him in waves.

"Malik, don't talk about her like that". Huda said angrily and the purity of her soul pierce through her black heart

"I told you we will only see her for a minute and that's all. Let's go. I don't want her to hurt you more than she already has". Malik said holding Huda hand pushing her hand which Huda was holding away

She feels the softness of Huda's hand leaving the roughness of her own hand and her hands were still the same- like rose petals.

"Mind your tongue, Malik. If she isn't speaking doesn't mean that you will keep insulting her". Adam said seething in fury as his wife shakes his hold

Maybe he shouldn't have called them here.

"That's because she knows she is wrong. You have no idea what you have done to yourself". Malik said and she steps back behind him hiding from their view because their words were like a poison thrown at her

She opens her eyes looking around to distract herself as she starts to count the things again when she found her mother coming to them and her eyes at her sister. Her eyes widen as her heart thunder in fear of what her mother would do this time. She steps from behind him to in front of a weeping Huda and still, she hasn't looked at her once.

"You need to leave". She said stern, "You shouldn't have come here".

Huda cries only intensifies at her words and she knows once again she had hurt her little sister heart.

"See, I told you this woman is no sister of yours. We are leaving right now". Malik said dragging Huda away from the venue

She found her mother starting to go behind them but she takes a step holding her hand stopping her steps towards them.

"You wouldn't want to do that or the circumstances will not be in your favour, mother". She threatened

"Let me go. She is finally here and I can have my fun with her". Her mother said pushing her hand

She tightened her hold on her hand, "I won't ever allow you to hurt her again. I promise that I will kill you if you go near her".

"How dare you threaten me?". His mother said angrily

"You know I am capable of doing it". She said smirking watching the colour leaving her face

Her father pushes her hand off her mother taking her away. She walks towards Adam who was looking at the whole scene and he forwards his hand to bring her on the stage and she takes his hand smiling standing beside him.

"Do you have your phone with you?". She asked softly and he nodded placing the phone in her hands as she calls Saqib immediately, "Huda and her husband just left the venue make sure they are safe. I don't want my parents around them and.....update me on her condition".

Adam watches her wall around her shattering as she is trying her best to gain herself back. His heart pained knowing he is behind it because he called her sister.

"I am sorry". Adam said holding her hand making her sit on their couch and she frowns looking at him which only made her adorable, "I called them here".

Her eyes soften as she shakes her head, "We are meant to cross path someday anyways, Adam. You just wanted the person who I love here you didn't know this will happen".

He nodded holding her hand tightly to provide any sort of comfort he could at the moment.

"Izra". Omar said grinning like he had won a trophy making her look at him curiously, "You know what I came to know?". She shakes her head as Omar speaks, "I found that the woman biggest regret remains that she wasn't able to try the cuisines of her own wedding".

She chuckles, "You are absolutely right about that".

While Adam narrows his eyes at his friend, "How do you even know that?. You are not even married".

"Thori sharam ani chahiyeh thi apne dost k zakam per namak daaltay howay tumhae. Wasae zayada kuch nahi karna hota pata karnay k liye logo se pocho aur un k experince se seekho". Omar said smiling, "So, I have a backstage room where we have all the cuisines for you".

(You should have some shame for throwing salt on your friend wound. By the way, you don't have to do much, just ask people and learn from their experiences)

She grins at him, "Saachi?". (Really)

"Ji. Ji". Omar said smiling, "Le-".

"How did you do it?". Adam asked confused

Omar smiles sheepishly, "I threatened them if they don't listen to me I will complain to you".

"How many times have you used that trick?". Adam asked raising his eyebrows

Omar looks at her for escape and she hit Adam arm making him wince, "Ab meri Shaadi sirf ek dafa ho gi aur poori umar tumhay jhailna hai toh yeh kahna toh banta hai. Chalo, Omar".

(My wedding will happen only once and I have to bear you for the whole life. I am meant to have this food. Let's go, Omar)

Before he can open his mouth she was excitedly walking away,"You can't leave me alone here".

He groans watching her exiting the venue carrying her dress gracefully and then she was no more in view. He chuckles after a moment he knows Omar just wanted to cheer her and somehow Omar manage to have a bond with her which obviously started from food from the first day they met.

Throughout their wedding preparations, Omar was the one directly in contact with her and in these days he was the one who was cheering her and he knows that must have helped her having a brother or a friend in Omar.

Even though it annoys him a little he cannot stop her because the smile she has then she is so precious that if it's because of Omar, so be it. He looks around to his guest and he stands without his bride so he turns around slowly taking steps away from the hall too.

"This ladoo is so good". She said grinning as she eats the sweet

"How come you are more interested in sweets?". Omar asked eating his Briyani, "Though your husband did a good job at the catering service".

She shrugged nodding at his words not wanting to stop her eating to answer him.

"Thank you, Omar". She said ending her food, "You are a good brother".

"Don't thank me I love doing it". Omar said smiling, "Acha per yeh bhai wali baat hum dono mai rakhna".

(Ok, keep this brother thing in between us)

"Kis khushi mai?". She asked curiously leaning to him (why)

"Mujhe tumhare shohar ko thora tang kar k maza layna hai". Omar replied grinning (I want to tease your husband to have fun)

"Mera shohar he mila hai tumhay". She said shaking her head then she grins at him,"On one condition". (You found my husband for your fun)

"Jo hukum mere aka". Omar said dramatically making her laugh (whatever you wish, my King)

"I will have all the rights of your wedding". She said smiling

"Aur kis ko duin ga apni behn k elawa". He said softly (who else will I give them beside my sister)

"Yeh kia chal raha hai?". They heard his angry voice as Omar was pushed away from her (what is happening here)

"Is shakhs ki Shaadi nahi honi chahiyeh thi, kitna bewafa ho gaya hai dost ki ab koi izaat nahi meri". Omar said standing dusting his dress (This man shouldn't have married he turned on to his own friend and no respect for him)

"Are you ok?". She asked concerned glaring at her husband who shrugged

"Ji". Omar said shaking his head with a smile,"Tumhari bhi ek shaadi honi hai kah lo warna poori zindagi sochte raho gay".

(You have only one wedding too, eat the food or you will think about it all your life)

"Ok. Leave". Adam said pointing to the door

"Bewafa yaar". Omar said walking away making her chuckle at his sulky face (disloyal friend)

"You are so mean". She said as he sits taking the plate she was eating in earlier and eating from it

"I can be". He said softly, "How are you feeling?".

"Hyper". She said grinning

He chuckles, "Omar needs to stop feeding you, sweets".

"I love them". She said stubbornly crossing her hands over her chest

He leans closer to her making her breathing hitched, "Chalein ab?". (Shall we)

She nodded smiling.

*****

She enters inside his room holding his hand tired from all the people she has to smile for and for no good reason besides that she will be their Queen.

"When will you become the King?". She asked as she sits in front of the dresser sighing that she will have to take these pins out and change

"I decided to talk to father tomorrow and be in two weeks". He said removing his coat walking towards her

He forwards his hand to her watching how her eyes were dropping from the need for sleep. She looks at him frowning but place her hand in his as he made her stand and then she squeals when he picked her in his arms.

"Ab yeh toh ho nahi sakta k ap ittni thaki ho aur mai ap ko phir bhi sub khud karnay duin". He said softly laying her down on the bed (I can't allow this to happen that you are tired and I let you do all the work by yourself)

He moves to her feet removing her shoes throwing them away hating that she has to wear them throughout and the redness on her heel makes him feel bad. He moves towards her upper body sitting beside her as he watches her eyes trained on him and he move forward removing her jewellery from around her.

"I love these". He said playing with her Jhumkas as he remove them

"Only I know how my ear felt in them". She mumbles sleepily

"Here". He said moving to bring her- his shirt to change into, "I am going to turn around so tell me when you are done".

She smiles shaking her head as she removes her clothes throwing them down and changing in his shirt wrapping the duvet around her.

"Done". She said closing her eyes

He turns around smiling as she drifted to sleep and he picks everything that she removes placing it neatly on the dressing. He moves towards her laying beside her and she turns to his side. He looks at her placing his hand on her cheeks as he revives the moment he had kissed these soft petals of her and how he wishes to taste them every single day.

His eyes close down as he kissed her forehead and soon she was laying in his arms forgetting the wars ahead of them.

The next day she heard her phone ringing and even when she has a headache because of the previous night function she opens her eyes to find no one around but heard the shower running. Her phone rings loudly making her hissing in pain but she answered it.

"Why is there no money transferred to my account?". Her mother screamed angrily that her voice escape out of the phone

Adam who was brushing his hair as he exits the bathroom heard her mother screaming watching her closing her eyes in pain and sighing.

"I will transfer them right now". She mumbles tiredly

"You better. Or I swear I-". Her mother started but she cancelled the call

She went to online banking transferring the money to her mother account throwing her phone away.

"Morning, My Queen". She heard his soft voice as he comes near her kissing her forehead, "Did you sleep well?. You can sleep more if you are tired".

"No-no. It's already late, give me a few minutes and I will be out". She said softly running into the washroom

She walks out of the closet after she was done with her dressing and she knows he is waiting for her outside. She bites her lips as she starts to take slow deliberate steps to where he stands in the terrace speaking to someone on call. She walks closer to him taking her time in enjoying how ethereal he looks standing with his arms crossed and his burrow furrowed but even when he looks distressed the firmness in him have her heart rate increase. He was one of the men that she never heard of and to have her with her was maybe her Lord blessing.

She found him in a white suit which means he knows she likes looking at him in this specific colour because it makes his eyes prominent for her. She notices his sharp jawline and how he had again gelled his hair away from his face, not the way he used to do before their marriage. He was more like a young boy before when she met him for the first time and today when she looks at him she knows he was not a young boy- he was a man on a mission to be a King and prosper his country to new success.

And she knows she will always be there for him. She walks closer to him and even when her feet made no sound he heard the softness of her feet on the ground as he turns around ending the call looking at his beauty that he was blessed with. He knows she hates dressing and that was a clear rule she had asked of him and he doesn't mind her in her own clothes because even then she can have his heart but knowing that she had done the efforts for him bloom a new fond of love for her in him.

There were stages of love when you first fall in love you want their happiness. The second is when you can do everything for them. Third, is when everything starts to be stronger when their pain is your pain. Fourth is when you do what they like from you.

And they were in the fifth stage. They started to love doing what the other person likes knowing that they both will appreciate each other efforts. And that is another important part that is overlooked and not taken seriously.

Appreciation.

People need to be appreciated when they do something even if it isn't that much that small appreciation can make a huge difference especially in a relationship that is as delicate as marriage because when two people have to spend "forever" together they need to let other know how much they mean to them and how much their actions mean to them.

"Aj toh meri nazar sirf ap per rahay gi". Adam said as he forward his hand and she place her hand in his which he kissed bringing her closer to him, "Ittni hassen lag rahi hain k lagta hai saari duniya ka noor sirf ap k pass hai".

(Today my eyes will only stay on you) (You look so beautiful it seems that the whole glow of this world came on you)

She giggles blushing at his words.

"Ap bhi toh kisi se kum nahi hain ab lagta hai sub se chupa kar rakhna ho ga". She said smiling placing her hand on his cheeks and he leans into her touch (You are no less now I think I have to hide you somewhere)

"Befikar rahein". He said opening his eyes leaning to her,"Jub ittni haseen begum ho toh koi pagal he ho ga jo kisi aur ko dekhay".

(Don't worry) (When one has such beautiful wife he must be stupid to look at anyone else)

She laughs but he descended his lips at her kissing her softly enjoying the taste of each other.

They enter inside the dining area to find the King and Queen as he pulls the chair for her and she smiles sitting down and he sits beside her.

"Is this the time to come down?". His mother said angrily

At the same time, Alina enters sitting right in front of Adam which didn't go unnoticed from Izra.

"I don't find anything wrong because we came late from the event and then we slept late". He said deliberately knowing that his wife didn't like Alina presence here, "We were tired from everything so we needed rest".

She smirks looking at Alina face losing colours and if it was allowed she would have laughed.

"Thori sharam karo". His mother said taken back by his words (Have some shame)

"You asked for it". He replied shrugging as he passes her the toast he made

She smiles at him gratefully and he shakes his head with a smile as she passes him a toast she made. He hold her hand under the table when she was about to take tea for herself halting her movement. She turns to look at him and by now King and Queen were gone for their duties.

He smirks looking at her helplessness but when she smirks back his eyes widen in horror.

"Arey ap yeh table ki nichy kyun hath pakar rahay hain?. Ap ki begum huin, sub k samnay pakar lein kisi ki majal hai jo kuch kah sakhay". She said smiling extra sweetly at him making him gulp (Why are you holding my hand under the table?. I am your wife, hold it in front of everyone no one can dare to say anything to you)

Alina fumes in anger banging her fork on the table but none of them breaks their eyes contact because now they weren't even present their mentally to care about Alina walking away angrily.

"Yaar subha subha". Omar said entering inside (Right from the morning)

They came out of their trance looking at Omar strolling inside sitting on the chair starting to eat carefreely.

"Tumhara apna ghar nahi?". Adam asked rolling his eyes (You don't have your own home)

"Ji hai, per meri amma ko aj kal meri shaadi ka bhoot charha hai toh yaha bhaag aya". Omar said munching on the toast gesturing her to make one for him (Yes, I have one. But my mother is after me for my marriage so I ran here)

"She won't make for you". Adam said narrowing his eyes at Omar

"Kis khushi mai?. Meri bhi kuch lagti hai". Omar said fake offended (why?. She is something to me too)

"Kuch nahi lagti tumhari, Omar. Mere damag na kharab karo". He said angrily (She is no one to you, Omar. Don't disturb my mind)

"Pehle se he kharab hai mai kaise kar sakta huin". Omar said shrugging and when she passed him the toast he smirks at the fury of Adam (It is already disturbed what can I even do)

"Chalo is ka toh roz ka hai". Adam said holding her hand to take her away (Leave him, it's the same for him everyday)

Omar chuckle looking at them leaving as he enjoys his breakfast knowing that sooner or later his friend will confess his love for his wife. He prays for their happiness and continues to enjoy his food.
