Advertisement

😊😘

I was being bored. Its been two days since haarib have arrived, he has been living here because aunty did gave him the permission to live in hotel.

Sheharyar is all time busy with him! Well! He couldn't bring the couch back because aunty said so.

I just LOVE her!

He have to sleep beside me! And I had to sleep more consciously hiding my mark!

These days! All I had to do was listen HIS bak bak daily at night.

Yar koi itna bhi rude ho sakta ha kia?

Par mera plan bhi bohat alaw hai! Is kharoos ko sabaq sikhane ka!

Roz roz ki bak bak ka koi toh badla lun na mai!

Bas kharoos ko apni wardrobe khol lena do! Phir sahi tamasha shuru ho ga.

I smiled on my own thought!

The weather was being windy. Its the best view ever. I was sitting in the balcony on the chair enjoying the weather.

"humm hummmm...mmmm

Ooo ooo... "

---------

Yeah just fix my meeting with them...I ll handle all the stuff later on

And I need presentation of Mr. Hamdan by tomo.."

"...humm hummmm...mmmm

Ooo ooo...

kuch pal toh thehar jao na..

Ya phir loat kr ao na

Yu kehty nhi alvida

Mur jao...idhr ao na...

Tmhy dhoondy meri ankhai..

Tumhy khojai meri bahain...."

I was astonished by such a nice voice.... but didn't know from where it was coming

"Sir?"

" I ll call u later saira!"

I cut the call and search for this strangely beautiful voice...

Singing have always been attractive for me. It helps me reducing my stress. Especially when its this beautiful.

I searched in my room because voice was coming from there. But there was no one in room. And suddenly there was no voice.

Who was she?

I was wondering when suddenly soha can out of balcony with a flower in her hand.

Was that voice her's?

"What were you doing out there?"

She became so scared suddenly like as if she had committed some crime and I have caught her red handed.

" I ....I was just enjoying the weather!"

She replied and then moved towards the dressing table.

I moved and sat on the bed along with my laptop. Once in a while, I take a look at her face with corner of my eye. She was folding the clothes and hanging them in the cupboard.

Why she was looking so beautiful right now. Window was open and the weather was a little cold and windy

And she was looking pretty and her hair....

Seriously I have never been this much attractive to anything but her hair... they are the most silky smooth thing ever

Well! Yeah I have touched them twice when she was sleeping.

And right now when they are being chased by wind and she is trying to tie them... I just want to.....

STOP IT SHERRY! WHAT EVEN ON EARTH ARE YOU THINKING!

"Mujhe kitchen ma kam hai ..."

And she went

I still wonder was that voice was hers?

" umm... aj meri night duty ha...and driver chutti pr gya hua... would you drop and pick me? " she asked me and I looked at her in amusement because she really thinks I would drop her?

How naive ...

"Huh? What! I would drop you? That too at night...who said I would sacrifice my sleep over your stupid night duty"

well...that was a lil rude sherry whatever I don't care...

"Firstly its not stupid...its my job

And if you dont want to drop or pick me up you can simply say

There is no need to insult me every time"

she said this all with confidence

And she went

...but I also saw something else.... WATERY EYES

I think I should...

Dont u dare to think of dropping her sherry!

But by law ..she is my wife I should...

Why the hell I should care about her...

I don't care

But how would she go all alone at night... Hospital is also on about half an hour drive

I said I DON'T CARE

I was fighting with myself...

Why do I care of her. Thank god she wont be here tonight

I would sleep peacefully

With that said I started my work on laptop forgetting about all this drama.

----------

Yar thek hai mana k gussa ata hai! Par har waqat karelay ki tarha karwa hona bhi acha nahi hota.

I went downstairs and saw haarib was with aunty in the garden.

"Ao beta ao! Abhi tumhari hi baatai ho rahi thi!haarib tumhari taarefai kar raha tha" Aunty said.

In k dost ko toh har waqat meri baizati karni ati ha bas!

"Acha!" I smiled.

"Ab jo insan acha hai us ki tareef karni toh banti hai na ! Kiu bhabi?" Haarib is a fun loving man. Exactly opposite to that of Mr. Kharoos.

"Hahahaha par jo insan tareef kar raha hai woh bhi toh acha hi hai na!" I said smiling.

"Wohhh toh phir bhabi hum hain hi aisay! Woh arz kia hai,

Na dil ma koi shikwa na shikayat yaar ki....

Dil wahi sohna jo kary Ibadat Parwardigar ki!"

Aunty and me, both laughed at his shair o shayari andaz.

"Acha bhabi! I have arranged a party on Saturday! So you have to take off and also be ready. All of our college friends and besties are gonna come.

I thought woh mere busy dost ne toh ap se kuch kaha nhi ho ga is bary mai! Ma hi bata du!" He said in his all funny tone.

"Nahi ! Aisi baat nahi hai! He told me about this." I lied, just to show him that we both are happy.

"Array waahh!" He exclaimed.

"Aunty! Woh aj meri night duty hai aur driver chutti par chala gaya hai! Toh can I take the car alone?"I asked aunty.

"Beta itni raat ko kaha le kar jao gi akele aur akele hi wapis...." Aunty was thinking then saw my face and she knew that Sheharyar have said no.

"Array bhabi fikar ki kia baat hai,

Jab haarib ap k sath hai!

Ma chor ao ga ap ko, bas ap rasta bata dena.

Wase bhi raato ko neend kaha ati ha humai " haarib said.

I smiled and looked at aunty for permission. She nodded and I said,

"Okay devar jee!"

"SOHAAAA! SOOOHAAAAAA" suddenly Sheharyar's voice came from upstairs. Everyone became frightened of sudden voice.

But I smiled inside,

Lagta hai Mr. Kharoos ne wardrobe khol li......

I stood up and said, " mai dekhti hun..."

I walked upstairs to my room

Okay soha! You can do it!

Deep breath!

Lets go....

"Jee?" I walked inside and appeared as if nothing happened.

"MERI WARDROBE KO KIS NE HATH LAGAYA?"

Uffff ek toh is insan ka speaker Allah ne in k gally mai hi fit kar dia hai!

"Ahista bolay gay ap? Haarib neechy baitha hai sun le ga toh kia sochy ga!"

I said with my hands folded over my chest.

"Jo marzi sochy! Would you like to answer my question? Where are my clothes?" He asked holding my arm.

"Yeh baat ap aram se bhi puch saktu hai! Gussa kiu karty han har baat par. Ap ki cupboard mai lizard thi. Mne use mar dia par I thought your clothes would have been dirty because of that lizard so I gave all of them in the laundry. Now may I have my arm free please?" I said it all with stern expressions.

Instead of leaving me he hold both my arms and rolled me along with him towards the wall. I was caged between him and the wall.

Ab kia hua soha jee? Nikal gai sari masti! Jaga dia na andar ka beast tune! Ab handle kar is pagal ko!

"Wh....whaa...whaat are you......"

"I. KNOW. WHAT. DO. YOU. WANT! AND WHY ARE YOU DOING ALL THIS DRAMA!

Just do remember that don't test my patience! I am a very low tampered man! Aur jis din mera yeh tamper tot gaya ! Us din tum bohat pachtao gi! "

He said every word in a whisper but so clearly and emphasizing on each and every word.

He then was just staring at me.

No expressions.

No movement.

We both were still! As if the world have stopped!

His gaze got more intensed and I looked everywhere but him, his eyes!

He was looking so deep as if seeing my soul through my eyes.

His eyes now didn't held the fury but.... itheld nothing!

He was out of expressions.

I tried to free myself but all in vein. Instead he came more closer. Since the past whole month! This has been the first time he is being this close to me.

"Sh....sheh....Sheharyar...I have...to go..." sweat came on my forhead and neck. My voice was being stumbled....

Soha! Is se pehly k ye insan koi aur ulti seedhi harqat karai, nikal yaha se!

My mind said and I again tried but his hold was tight then my whole strength.

Then suddenly his right hand came up and he ....

No.

No.

No.

Soha rok issay!

He was about to remove my hair from left side.

Knock. Knock.

"Soha beta! Sab thek hai na?" It was aunty.

Thank God...

Thank God...Thank God...

He suddenly came into his senses and released me. His expressions were as if he didn't knew what he was doing a second ago. He turned around and opened the door and left from there running.

Ajeeb insan!

"Jee aunty! Everything is fine. Bas aisy hi. Unhay un ki cheezai nahi mil rahi thi. You just relax. "

But in the mind I still was wondering about his behavior. Ajeeb double personality disorder banda hai.

----------

Mujhe ho kia gaya hai!

What the hell on earth I was thinking!

I was supposed to be angry at her, instead I just ....

I just wanted to see the left side of her face that is always been hidden.

Why? Who is she to you that you suddenly wants to see her face that too this closely?

Her hair, her eyes, her..... her voice..... her li...

Shut the hell up Sheharyar!

I moved my fingers through my hair in frustration.

This cant be happening! I can't fall for her charms and beauty!

What if she is one that everyone says and not what I think she is....

No! I can't be wrong! I just married her for the sake of Alia! She can't be my wife. She isn't!

Frustrated, I started to look for the file in the drawers of study room.

Where is it.... I had placed it here! I....

Thank God! I found it.

I then placed a blank check in that file too. And moved towards the room.

I have to give this to her before she'll go for her duty.

I entered the room and she was picking up her white coat from the bed. He bag was in her hand and she was ready to leave.

Thank God I am on time.

She didn't paid attention to my presence and was about to leave,

"I wanna talk to you!" I said expressionlessly

"Jee?" She placed her bag on the bed and folded her hands over her chest.

"This!" I handed her the file.

"What's this?" She said holding it and opening.

"A property of about 5 crore and a blank cheque! This is what you wanted right! So now you are getting it. Take this all and get out of my life. " I said with all fury but with low tone.

To my surprise she smiled and faked a chuckle,

"So! Ye qeemat lagai hai ap ne mere dewanepan ki!

Kisi dewane ko itni kam qeemat mai khareedai gay?" She raised an eyebrow.

I couldn't understand what she was talking about.

"If you want more money I'll ....."

"Shhhh...shhh...." she shushed me before I could complete my sentence.

"Janty han ye dewani shayad ap se ishq kar baithi hai. Aur ishq ki qeemat laga rhy han ap?" She asked unbelievably.

"So you now admit that you love me?" I asked chuckling.

"Nahi! Mujhe ap se ishq nhi hua! Ap k us chehre se hua hai jo ap k dost bataty han! Ap ki un khubio se hua hai jo ap ki maa mujhe batati hai.

Aur isi ishq k zor par bas un ko un ka khoya hua beta lutana hai mujhe! Aur....." she picked the file up in the air and moved it round my head saying,

"Aisi soo properties aur blank cheques ap k sar ka sadqa kar k war dun!!!"

Saying this she threw the file on the bed and picked up her bag and coat and was about to leave but stopped before opening the door and said,

"Mr. Sheharyar Ali! Ek baat yaad rakhiye ga.

Muhabbat aur ishq ma zara sa hi farq hota hai!

Muhabbat ap kisi k ishq k badlay mai karty ho aur ISHQ!

ISHQ toh bas insan ko dewana bana deta hai! Ab woh ishq e haqeeqi ho( that love we do with our God) ya ishq e mijazi! ( that love we do with our beloved ones)

Aur dewangi ki had nahi hoti!"

And she left...... making me speechless....

----------

Muhabbat karne waly...kam na hon gay....

terii mahafil mein lekin ham na honge

mohabbat karanevaale kam na honge

" wah re wahh! Kia kehne han ap k Mehdi Hassan sahab! Kamal"

Haarib exclaimed while listening to the song that was being played on the radio. He was dropping me at hospital.

"Ap ko dekh k lagta nahi k ap bhi 19's k songs k dewane hon gay" I said smiling

"Kiu bhai! Humai kia hua?" He questioned.

Zamaane bhar ke Ghum yaa ik teraa Ghum

ye Ghum hogaa to kitane Ghum na honge ....

"Nahi wase hi! Houston ma rehne wala banda plus businessman. How could you find time for all this?" I asked.

terii mahafil mein lekin ham na honge

mohabbat karane waale kam na honge agar

tuu ittafaaqan mil bhii jaaye

terii furqat ke sadamein kam na honge ....

"Janab ye shok mujhe ap k miya jee se aya hai! He is a great fan of old songs. Hum jab bhi sath kam karty han toh we always play slow music like this in the background. It relief stress. " he answered while still driving.

"Aur kia khoob kaha hai, muhabat karne waly kam na hon gay...."

"Yaha se right..." I told him the way

"Achaa wase I didn't knew k Sheharyar ko music pasand ha....

He is always been busy with the work." I said while in my head our recent conversation was still roaming.

dilon ki ulajhanein baDatii raheingii... agar kuchh mashvare baaham na honge.....

terii mahafil mein lekin ham na honge mohabbat karanevaale kam na honge

"Bhabi jee shair par ghor karai! Ap ko ap ki statement ka jawab mil jaye ga.

...."

He paused and then continued,

"Agar kuch mashwar e baham na ho toh!

Bhabi trust me sherry se baat kia karai! Us se dosti karai. I have seen his smiling face. Ye toh bas rudeness ka mask pehny phirta ha jahil kahi ka!

Thora sa beasty type ha par you know,

For every beauty there is a beast!"

I laughed at his statement and nodded.

'Hafeez' un se main jitanaa bad_gumaaN huuN

vo mujh se is qadar barham na honge....

terii mahafil mein lekin ham na honge mohabbat karanevaale kam na honge....

I know haarib! I have seen the good side of his. I believe he have some kind and great personality hidden under this cage of anger.

I was too involved in the thoughts that I forgot about the way.

"Stop! Yeah just stop right here....thats the hospital I work in. " I said in a loud voice.

"Thanks and nobody can be bored in your company. " I said while opening the door.

"Array bhabi jee! Sharminda toh na karai thank you keh kar. Farz hai hamara. " he said while placing his hand on his chest.

"Acha lene kab ao ap ko?" He asked.

"Nahi us ki zarort nahi mai apni friend k sath aa jao gi. And thanks again. " I said smiling and moved out of the car towards hospital.
