"Soha beta jaldi se tayar ho jao ab everyone will be coming. " Aunty said me.

I was in the kitchen helping her with the arrangements of the get together.

"Mooooommmm! Where are you?" This was Alia.

So she came. And I am still not ready yet.

I ran outside towards the room saying, "I have to get ready! Will meet you laterrrrr"

I came into my room and immediately took the black net frock with choridar pajama. Today's theme was black. So I had to wear black.

I wore the dress and.... arghhh! Why is this zip not coming up.

This has to be stuck today!

Frustrated, I moved outside towards dressing table. And texted ifra to come upstairs to help me with this zip.

Yeah haarib met with her when she came to drop me last Tuesday. So he invited her also.

Till then I did a little makeup, red lipstick, did my hairs. I pinned them to my left hidding the left ear with hair. I did a little curl of hair from the end. So all done?

Earnings.... I searched them and wore them too. I saw the white anklet in the jewellery box. This was gifted by zuhaib. I smiled and sat on the stool of dressing table, bending down I began to close to anklet when suddenly door opened. Without seeing who it was, obviously it would have been ifra.

"Ifra thank God tum aa gai please jaldi se ye zip band kar de. Its stuck somewhere and my hands couldn't reach there. " I was still busy with the anklet.

Yar ye payal band nhi ho rhi... waha ye larki kuch bol nahi rahi.....

I frustratedly stood up and faced who was standing in front of me....

My back was towards the dressing table and in front of me was none other than MR. KHAROOS!

Sorry I have discovered a new name actually MR. EGOISTIC!

----------

I forgot my mobile in the room and as I entered the room,

"Ifra thank God tum aa gai please jaldi se ye zip band kar de. Its stuck somewhere and my hands couldn't reach there. " soha said while she was still busy with something in her foot.

Her back was towards me. Her zip wasn't closed and due to her bending, her back was a little more exposed.

I was dumbstruck by the scene in front of me.

I haven't talked her properly in these days after that conversation.

I came home late and goes to office after she is gone.

I still wonder why she rejected the offer.

But right now I was just not thinking, I was too stuck with the beauty right in front of me!

Sheharyar! Yahi ruk ja! Its a trap and you are getting into it.

But she is my wife. I can....

Ohhhoo! So you remember she is your wife?

I put all my questions aside and moved towards her. She frustratedly stood up and her reaction wasn't a surprise. It seemed as if her eyeballs would come out of her sockets.

Her mouth opened and then closed again. She was hiding her back by showing her front side to me.

But little did she know that the mirror behind her is showing me everything.

I smiled and she looked up, "Ap....ap yaha kia kar rahy han?"

She was trying to put her hands behind covering the zip area. I smiled at her innocence.

"Its my room. Mai jab chahu aa sakta hun. " I said while moving a little more closer to her.

Her hair were still fixed on left side, her dupatta wasn't on her shoulder. And her black frock....

Sheharyar please stop it!

"May I?" I asked while extending my hand.

She looked up into my eyes and shock was evident on her face.

She would be thinking why I am being this nice to her.... Dr. Soha! I am playing this game in your way! Gussay se nahi nikal paya tumhara sach par ab piyar se nikalu ga!

She was still shocked and I moved forward, took her hand in my hands and jerked her towards me.

Her hair didn't moved from her left side. Her hands came upto my shoulders and her eyes were on the ground.

Her scent was so intoxicated. I closed my eyes and smelled her.

Sheharyar come back to your scenes!

My inner voice.

I opened my eyes and saw the mirror that shows her back. I turned her around and now her face can be seen in the mirror and her back was towards me.

I looked up and she also saw me from the mirror.

I removed the strands of hair from her back towards her left side.

White skin covered with black net!

A sight of beauty!

I don't know why but I just moved a little down and kissed her right shoulder. Her eyes got shut tightly.

This was an unexpected move.

I took hold of her zip and tried to bring it up with a little power. But it was stuck. I then moved it a little down.

I was noticing her every reaction. Her hands tightly hold the table.

I moved my other hand a little inward to the fabric to pull the zip upwards.

My fingers touched her back and I moved my fingers upwards along with the zip. And finally it got closed. There were strands that were to be closed also. I took hold of both the strands and closed it carefully making a bow.

I then rested my hands on her waist. Her eyes were still closed ,And her breath was as if she had run a marathon.

I smiled and moved my hands towards her stomach making her collide with me. Then I whispered in her right ear,

"You can open your eyes now. "

She did open but stayed glued to her place. I, too was busy in looking her reflection.

We both were busy in each other.

"You are looking bea...."

"Sorry soha! I was stuck with haa.....

Oppss so so sorry...." ifra came inside the room and we both left each other.

"I should have knocked!sorry ! You guys carry on I am going...." ifra was about to go again when soha said

"No! Wait! Ifra" she stopped and I went outside the room.

What was I about to say.... that she was looking beautiful? I really must control my these attractive feelings!

----------

"Being romentic haannnn...." ifra was continuously teasing me.

I was still wondering of what have happened to Sheharyar? Ek dam se yu.... strange!

"Ab ap apni bakwas band kar k neechy chalna pasand karai gi. We getting already late. "

I picked up my dupatta and set it around my neck and we both went downstairs.

---------

"Api! You are looking so gorgeous! " zuhaib praised me while hugging me.

"Thanks mere chotu! You too look handsome! Biwi ka asar ho gaya kia?" I smiled and whispered near him.

"Han shayad" he said while a little blush came to his cheeks.

He is such a cutie!

I ,zuhaib, ifra and alia were standing at one corner.

"Bhabi! Yaha aiye ga" haarib approach me and took me with him.

"Bhabi meet shanaya, bisma, ahmed, talha and awais. These are our best of friends. And guys this is Mrs. Soha Sheharyar Ali! "

"Asalam o alaikum" I said smiling.

"We couldn't meet on wedding. We don't even know when he did the wedding. Or else we didn't thought that Sheharyar would marry soo soon. " shanaya said.

Her expressions were telling that ye bhi kisi ameer baap ki bigri hui aulad hai!

"Yeah the wedding wasn't as such. It was just a ceremony of nikkah thats all. " I replied smiling.

"Toh soha! What do you do? Job or..." talha was about to say something when shanaya interrupted, "Sheharyar Ali ki biwi ho k kon job wagaira k chakro ma pare ga... everyone loves there rest and peace" she laughed.

I smiled a little and said, " actually you are right. But my rest an peace lies in my job and my being independent. And talha I am a Doctor doing my specialization in cardiology."

"Great!" Talha praised me.

"Wase kaha gayab hai ye sherry? Nazar nahi aa raha?" Ahmed asked.

"I don't know I guess In the back garden. " I replied.

"Ma dekh kar ata hun. You guys enjoy the party. " haarib said and went.

After sometimes Sheharyar came and everyone started talking.

Sheharyar was talking to everyone else than me. I was standing at a corner and he was busy with his so called friends.

Kharoos!

"Bhabi! Fiksr not abhi ap k miya jee ap k pas aa jaye gay. Just wait and watch. " haarib came behind my back and whispered. I smiled and looked at him questioningly.

Haarib went in the middle of the room raised his glass of juice and strick the spoon a little with the glass to make a little voice.

"Everyone! Please pay attention here.

I have thrown this party not of me being in Pakistan after a long time but for my best friend who is happily married now..... Congratulations bro! This ones for you! "

Everyone clapped. I smiled and looked towards Sheharyar who was looking at haarib.

"We don't have any stage here so! Couples may come in the center for a little bit dance. Music please!"

I was happy that he would dance with me but no!

He went in the center with shanaya. Great!

I smiled at my own little thought!

Kharoos bhi kabhi achay hue han?

I moved towards the kitchen to see the arrangements of dinner. The song played outside. My favorite one...

Chuttiya na chuttye musay rang tera dhola...

Ek tere bajo duja mera koi mol na....

Bolna mahi bolna...

Bolna mahi bolnaaaa....

I saw him swirling one girl and then taking other in his arms.

Why was I being so much jealous!

Well I have the right! I am his wife.

I moved forward towards him.

Tere liye aya mai toh tere sang jana...

Dholna ve tere nal zindagi bitana...

Ooo kadi naio chorna ve ishq di dor na....

Saray chad jave mahi tu na chorna.....

Bolna mahi bolna...

Bolna mahi bolnaaaa....

I moved towards him and shanaya was the one dancing with him.

"May I borrow my husband please! " shanaya was shocked but then nodded and left.

Flute was being played in the music. He didn't moved. I took his hand and started to move a bit saying, " wife hun! Itna toh huq banta hai mera!"

Tere sang hansna mai

Tere sang rona

Tujh ma hi rehna mai...

Tujh ma hi khona....

Dil ma chupa k dil naiu kholna...

Mar k bhi mahi tussay mu na morna....

Bolna mahi bolna...

Bolna mahi bolnaaaa....

He didn't said anything and left as the song ended.

--------

The party ended. Everyone was gone. Only me, Sheharyar,zuhaib, alia, haarib, sanaya and two more friends of his were left.

We were playing truth or dare.

"Okay now Zuhaib its your turn."

Haarib exclaimed.

"Truth or dare?" Haarib asked.

"Ummm.... dare mushkil ho ga so truth!" He said.

"Beta yaha truth bhi asan nahi hai! So you have to confess something to Alia! Whatever its in your heart!"

Everyone made a sound of oooooo....

"Ummm! That really a difficult one.

So! Ummm... Alia... I..." he was stammering.

"Array bhai mere! Apni biwi sr hi confess krne ko kaha hai Dar aisy raha hai jaise kisi aur larki ko kehna ho kuch" haarib said laughing.

Everyone smiled.

"Alia! I want to say that when I married you, I was least interested in you. I didn't even imagine you as my life partner. But when you came into my life, I swear to God! You were just like an angel. You really are a gift of Allah for me. So thank you for everything. And I love you soo much!"

He said it all and Alia was over the moon. Her smile could tell that. They both hugged and we all smiled.

"Okay now I'll spin the bottle" this was shanaya! I don't know why but I didn't liked this girl. She was too weird and over.

" wooahooo! Soha! Its your turn.

So truth or dare " she clapped.

Itna over excited kiu ho rahi hai ye?

"Dare" I said with confident.

"So..... yeah! You have to kiss Sheharyar on lips for one minute. " she said with no shame.

"Excuse me?" I was too shocked of what she just said.

"Shanaya its not London or NY were these cheep dares could be given! So keep that in limits" this was haarib with stern expressions.

"What have I said wrong in it? They are husband wife and it isn't illegal for both of them. " she made excuse.

Kitni koi besharam larki hai!

"Well! Shanaya whats between a husband and wife should remain in between them. These kind of act of love are not to show the world that you love your wife or husband! These are the the secret moments between two people who love each other. That doesn't concerned this world or its people! LOVE IS NOT THE NAME TO SHOW OFF BUT A HIDDEN PLEASURE!"

I finished my statement and stood up saying, " Its quite late, we should finish this game now. I have to give medicines to aunty so please excuse me! "

I said while moving towards aunty's room.

----------

Its been an hour that I was in the garden. Trying to sort out my life, Sheharyar,my dreams.....

Life...love ...pain...happiness....and the cycle continues...

Some search everywhere for a cure....

something to make them whole...

when all along that was locked away inside bcz many times..

the only thing that is wrong with us is our view of ourselves ....

It was about 2 in the morning. I decided to go and change.

I went to my room and the lights were closed. I closed the door and switched on the lights. The smell of smoking was covering the whole room.

I moved inside and saw him sitting of bed smoking. The ash tray was full. I moved towards the window and opened it wide while coughing.

"Ap ye kia kar rahy han? Pura room smoke se bhara hua hai koi hosh hai ap ko?" I loudly said. But he was still in his same pose sitting and looking dangerous. His head was hung low and he was rolling the cigarette between his fingers.

"Sheharyar! Ap thek hain na?" I moved a little closer shaking his shoulder.

"Why didn't you kissed me?" His question made me straddle. I looked at him disbelievingly!

"Because its an act of love to be performed in private not to show the whole damn world!" I answered in all confidence.

Ajeeb baatai kar rahy han! Dunya se sharam o haya jaise uth hi gai ho!

Baithay rehne do in ko aise hi!

I am not in a mood to give answers to his pathetic questions!

I was about leave. My hand was on the door knob when in a nano second he stood up and caged me in between him and the door.

"I guess we are in private..... nobody is here to see us! You can kiss me now!" He said in husky voice.

The smell of cigarette was still coming from him.

I closed my eyes and turned my face to aside for proper breathing.

I placed my hands on his chest and pushed him saying, " chorai mujhe Sheharyar! "

"Kiu! I am your husband na! I have the full right to be kissed my you! Okay I'll make a little easy for you...."

His one hand was holding my waist tightly, colliding our bodies fully while the other one went back to the strands and......he opened then with a sudden tug.

My eyes widden and I looked at him disbelievingly. Tears swelled up in my eyes but he didn't care.

"Soha.... this is your husband being this near to you.... just wanting to make a romentic environment for you to kiss me..."

He then moved a little down and kissed my right side of neck.

"Sheharyar.....please.....stop" I said in a low tone as tears fall off my eyes.

But he was too busy in kissing my neck.

"What soha!.... hmmmm....

its just me and our small little hidden moments. Just kiss me and I ll let you go.....hmmm" he nuzzled in my neck while pulling the fabric down from my shoulder. Exposing my underlying skin.

I again pushed him but his hold was tight.

"Wifey! You didn't want to world to know about our love moments na.... hmmm... then now we are all alone.... away from this world....what else do you want...."

his voice was killing me. His hands made my skin burn and his kisses.... they were just like poison is being injected into me

He then moved towards my cheeks. He took hold of my right cheek and leaned over but then I pushed him harder and he moved towards my left.

I ran inside to room but..... turned around again because something slipped out of my neck....

Shock evident on my face...... my dupatta was now in his hands.

He moved forward and said, "not so fast Dr. Soha"

"Sheharyar! Sharam karai ma ap ki biwi hun! " tears were continuously falling.

"Tch. Tch. Tch. My darling wife! What am I saying? Just a kiss is what I am asking for...."

He moved forward and whispered, "or you want something else?"

"Did you fulfilled all the rights of me being as a wife? "

I said with disgust in my voice.

"yes! The right you were talking about...

Ishq muhabat and dewana pan right?

So, you want the right of being my wife hmm...?"

I was confused of what he was thinking. He then suddenly took hold of my arm and moved towards the bed saying,

"Com'on I ll make you my wife today!"
