"can't live

Author's p.o.v

It was 11 at night.

Ibtihaj was roaming here and here in his room cause even after trying hard he couldn't sleep alone.

His all anger was faded away by now and gulit had overcome him. He was cursing himself for shouting at her.

A knock broke his chains of thought.

He looked up and saw Arsh leaning onto the door with his arms folded on his chest.

" Where is Anfal?"

He asked standing up.

"Why should I tell you?"

Arsh raised brow.

"Cause she is my wife."

"Yeah that wife whom you insulted in front of everyone."

Ibtihaj kept quite.

Arsh sighed and sat beside him on Sofa.

"She is sleeping in my room. We were watching a movie and she slept in mid."

Arsh said playing with small dive placed on table.

" Why?"

"I told ya already."

"Send her back!!"

"She won't come!! You know Her!"

"Then what? I can't sleep."

He shouted frustratingly.

"Take her back."

"She won't come. You know Her!"

"Well you deserve to be let alone. What you did was not even close to cool. Do you know how badly she cried?"

"I was angry!!"

"So what? You will treat her like trash? That's not a way to handle someone and that too when the one is so innocent. Did you try once to justify her act? She is overpossessive for you that's why she fought woth those girls. Those girls should have also done something that ignite her. You know what! She is that innocent that I asked her smile and she smiled genuinely even woth tears in her eyes. She is the one who tries to spread smiles everywhere and when she sis something exceptional you insulted her to no extent."

Arsh said and Ibtihaj kept quite cause he knew that Arsh was right.

" You could have stopped me earlier!!"

"I tried!! Do you even remember your words? You said that we all have made her a brat. I was about to rip your head bit she signalled me stay back cause she didn't want us to fight over her."

"I am guilty!!"

Ibtihaj sighed.

"Should I make a pickle of your guilt? If she won't forgive then I will fully support her cause you deserve to be not forgiven this time. Even she forgives you then I will ask her to not talk to you cause why would she be the one always to forget and forgive?"

Arsh said smirking.

" You are no less than enemy!!"

Ibtihaj rolled eyes.

"I am the enemy for those who hirt my baby!!"

Arsh held his collar while Ibtihaj raised brow.

"She is sleeping now come on get her back to her room."

Arsh said and stepped out of room.

Ibtihaj sighed and went towards Arsh's room.

He took her in his arms and advanced towards his room.

She quickly encircled her arms around his neck and smiled in her sleep leaving him stunned.

Ibtihaj entered in his room and closed door behind with his foot.

He made her lay on bed and sat beside her.

His guilt deepened when his eyes spotted tear stains on her cheeks.

He cursed himself for doing this to her.

Leaning cl9ser he took her tears on his lips and trailed kisses all the way to her neck followed by tear stains.

She started in sleep and he pulled back.

Moving towards his side he switched off the lights.

" Why you have to get this much jealous and insecure? Huh?"

He whispered grazing her cheek with his nose.

" Why you always forget that I can't keep up anyone but you? I am yours and belongs to you and vice versa.

Jo haq tumhy dy dya hai wo ksi or ko nahi dunga

Tumhara hun or bs tumhara hi rahoonga"

(I won't give the right to someone else which I gave you

I am yours and will stay as yours!!)

He whispered determinely looking at her lovingly.

He placed a kiss at her forhead and pecking her lips he closed his eyes placing his arms around her and his head in the crook of her neck.

Sleep engulfed him while he was inhaling her scent.

Anfal opened her eyes smiling.

"It was indeed the best dream ever. Mr. Monster apologized and even kissed me hayee!!!"

She was squealing when a voice brought her attention back to reality.

She looked up and saw Ibtihaj standing in front of dresser looking at her with amusing eyes.

She looked around and it clicked her.

"What I am doing here?"

She shouted.

"Romancing with me!!"

He said cheekily.

"I mean how I ended up here?"

She gritted teeth.

" This is your room where else you should end up. "

"Arshhhhh!!!!!!"

She shouted on her lungs.

"I brought you here!!"

He said seriously.

"Arshhhhhh!!!!"

She again shouted ignoring him.

"G????"

(Yes???)

Arsh came running towards their room.

" What I am doing here?"

Anfal raosed brow.

Instead of answering her he turned towards Ibtihaj and took his face in his plam examining it.

"What are you doing there? Answer me!!"

Anfal said.

" No lipstick mark means you were only sleeping here."

Arsh saidthinking like he gave most confirmed theory of world.

Anfal jaw dropped to ground while her cheeks turned red.

"Idiot!!!"

Ibtihaj bent down to take his slippers but Arsh ran out and slipper came back after hitting the door.

Anfal stood up and took her clothes and went towards washroom..

_________

It was afternoon and Arsh was moving afyer Amfal since morning cause she was not talking to him.

"Yar bhabhi!!"

He whined.

" Dont talk to me. Was I a burden to you that you hurried to let go of me?"

She shouted.

"Please! I am sorry!!"

He pleaded wot h puppy eyes while holding his ears.

"Why would I forgive you?"

She raised brow.

"I have bought this for you!!"

He said stretching 2 chocolate bars in front of her.

"Yeyy!!"

She jumped taking them.

"Am I forgiven?"

"Yeah but you will help me keeping that idiot at bay. I am in no mood of forgiving him!!"

She grinned opening chocolate.

"Done!!"

He smiled.

He was stunned that how carefree and innocent she was!! How her lips curl in a smile and her heart forgives

so quickly just for a chocolate.

Deep down he wanted Anhaj to get back to their relation but in front of Anfal he was acting to keep her tiny heart happy.

"Anfal where is my evening coffee!!"

Ibtihaj shouted coming towards kitchen.

Birhan was sitting on lichen counter while Anfal was standing beside him and they were laughing on something.

Anfal put straight face looking a t him.

" Where is my coffee?"

He asked again.

"Burhan!!"

"Yes bhabhi!!"

"Ask him to make one himself. I am not free."

She said ignoring him.

"She is saying make yourself. She is busy!!"

Birhan said with toothy grin.

"Anfal you know I like you making my coffee!!"

Ibtihaj emphasized.

"Burhan!! Ask him to bitter someone who doesn't know him."

"She is saying to bitter someone else cause she knows your illmannered self."

Birhan said with toothy grin.

"Anfal!!"

Ibtihaj groaned in frustration throwing steel spoon on floor.

"Birhan ask him to stop creating mess and go out from here cause at the end I will have to clean this."

She said with blank face.

"Bhabhi is asking you to get lost!!"

Burhan exclaimed.

"O you shut up!! I can hear her clearly. When did you decided to be her personal assistant plus translator."

Ibtihaj gritted teeth.

"Excuse me!! You can't insult my brother in front of me. This is not the way go out!"

Anfal shouted.

"What will you Do?"

Ibtihaj took one step closer.

"I will rip your head!!"

Anfal said taking big rice spoon in her hands.

"oh I ma scared!!"

He said dramatically.

" Go ahead!!"

He took one more threatening step towards her.

Just then Burhan jumped down from the counter and ran out.

"Hey Burhan !! Where are going?"

She shouted.

"Woah your cowards brother also ran away. Now who will rescue you?"

He smirked gagging her between him and wall.

"This!!!"

Anfal shouted after thinking for sometime.

"What?"

He asked confused.

Just then she threw a rotten romp to at his face.

"Eww!!!"

He pulled back making faces at its smell.

"Hehe!! Look at your face. You can't cope up with manners Huh? I asked you humanly to get lost but you didn't now face my wrath."

She laughed throwing other tomatoes at him from basket.

"Anfal ki bachi!!"

He groaned wipping his face.

He took other basket from side and started throwing tomatoes at her too.

Burhan show went to gather everyone returned back just to gasp at the view in front of them.

Anfal and ibtihaj's both were hiding behind opposite aides of counter and throwing tomatoes at each other.

Whole kitchen was messed up.

Everyone's jaws dropped to ground.

"Anfal!!"

"Ibtihaj!!"

" Bhabhi!!"

"Bhai!!"

They all shouted and they both stopped and looked at them and at then at each other.

"Actually.."

"Let me.."

"Just come with me bhabhi and take bath."

Before they could say anything Narmeen spoke.

Anfal nodded and left still glaring at him.

" You are stinking!! Go or should I take you?"

Shaaz said and Ibtihaj left cursing under breath.

"Look what I got?"

Arsh smirked displaying the pictures of Anfal and Ibt8haj standing there whole messed up with tomatoes. There were tomatoes all over their face and hair.

Burhan and Shaaz burst into laughter.

"I am forwarding you guys to keep a backup if they delete it from here somehow."

Arsh smirked and they nodded.

Anfal and Narmeen were sitting in Narmeen's room. It was 2 in morning but they dodnt aleep because they had to keep fast for Hajj.

" So tell me bhai is more romantic or you?"

Narmeen asked excitedly out of blue.

"Romantic and He? Hehe don't goes together!!"

Anfal laughed rolling her eyes.

"I can't agree to this?"

Narmeen said.

" Why?"

Anfal raised brow.

"Cause as much as I know bhai then he is a romance freak. You know what! When we were children he used to say that he will keep on loving his wife whole day and night. He used to love the word wife that much when he didn't even know whom she will be. He used to plan about caring for her and giving her a forehead good night kiss. He was so determine to make memories with her.."

Narmeen said excitedly.

Listening about his childhood and perspectives a smile made it's way to her lips.

"Well he is not the way he used to plan!! He is a jerk type Now!!"

Anfal said controlling the emotions pooling up in her heart and making it beat faster.

" Dont say like this!! He cares alot about you!!"

"How can you say that?"

"You know what when you were in hospital he used to miss all his meals sitting beside you whole day and night. He made himself look like a beggar when you were kidnapped. He didn't sleep for whole week missing you and crying for you! When ever I used to go to him I always used to find him holding a ny of your duppata in his hand and he used to repeat one thing that when my Amfal will come back? Ask her to come back na!! I won't argure with her! I wpnt acold her anymore. Jist ask her to vome back to me. I am yearning to hold her. He made one food deed by rosking his life to save aomesone else and Allah rewarded him with hia life back!! No one knows which deed of somesone's Allah like but it's certain that don't keep someone's reward!! "

Narmeen smiled.

It hit Anfal hard.

"Crying for me? No he can't!! He used to say that he won't cry for me."

Anfal shoke her head and refusing the statements of her heart.

" He lied!! He cried alot for you!! You know what bhabhi? I heard people saying that no one can love the woman more than that man who cried for her."

Narmeen smiled.

"Love...????"

A whisper left Anfal's mouth.
