After praying, I settled on bed as he kept the prayer mats. He came and sat beside me. He rested his back against the headrest and grabbed my hand and pulled me towards him. He made me rest my head on his chest. I could hear his heart beats. It was soothing. So I got into a comfortable position and wrapped my arms around his waist. Well he is my husband and I have known him my whole life. I should just go with the flow. I had already accepted him after the talk on terrace. So no point in hesitating. We simply stayed in that position for a few minutes before I suddenly remembered something. I quickly detached myself from him and put my hand out in front of him. He looked at my hand then my eyes before realizing. He took my hand in one hand and started tracing his finger on the mehendi pattern. Just after a few seconds he found his name. I was so disappointed. I clearly told mehendi artist to not make it visible easily. But he didn't even take time.
"How did you find it so quickly?" I asked.
He chuckled "I asked Sara to send your photos and she sent of your mehendi too."
"ughh Sara. Your sister is a Dumbo." I said.
"well she is your sister too." he reverted back shrugging.
He started tracing on my hand and leaning in to place soft kisses on my whole hand. I felt butterflies in my stomach. I closed my eyes as He leaned forward and kissed my cheeks, then near my lips. I could feel his ragged breath on my lips. I opened my eyes to find him staring at me with questioning eyes. I smiled and he smiled back."may I?" he asked. I nodded looking down. He captured my lips in a slow kiss. Then buried his face in my neck kissing softly. I moaned as he kissed at the back of my ear. It seemed to trigger him as he attacked my lips in a passionate kiss. He started roaming his hands over my body. "Kiss me back mahi" he whispered on my lips. I started to respond trying to grasp on it. After sometime I responded with same passion. He dug his head in my neck again. His hands were moving on my whole back going down he squeezed my butt which made me to squeal and stick close to him. He continued squeezing it for a while then moved his hand inside my t-shirt to my stomach caressing it gently playing with my belly button. While his mouth was placing wild kisses on my shoulders now. His hand moved up to my chest and he squeezed my breast which made me moan. He attacked my lips again while his hands were kneeding my breast. He stopped and moving back removed his t-shirt. He looked up at me for a few seconds then removed my kurti. I just closed my eyes feeling the bliss of being in my husband's arms.
..........I was sitting with my cousins in the TV room which is on first floor watching movie but my concentration was not on the movie. I was constantly looking at the window waiting for my husband. It's 11 pm but he is still not home. He informed me that he will be late as he had to finish off the work before going to our honeymoon which is day after tomorrow. It's already been a month to our wedding but we couldn't go on honeymoon because of his office work. I heard horn and quickly got up to reach him when I heard hootings from behind. I ducked my head down and ran away embarrassed. I saw him ascending the stairs looking tired. He passed me a smile when he saw me. He kissed my forehead reaching near me and I kissed his cheeks. "freshen up and come down. I will heat up dinner." he nodded and went to our room. While I went to the kitchen.
......"I don't want to go back." he whispered in my neck. More like whined like a child. I looked at him amused. "why?" I asked.
"I won't get this much time with you. We will get busy. Your college will start and I will have to complete my office backlog. " he said sighing. I sighed.
"We will come on vacation every year, what say?" I suggested. His eyes lit up immediately and nodded continuously like a child who got it's favorite candy. I chuckled at him and just shook my head. He placed his head on my chest and dozzed off.
Today was the last day of our 15 days honeymoon trip here in Switzerland. Tomorrow we are going back. It was bliss. I had the best time of my life. But I am satisfied because I know more moments are yet to come. I kissed his forehead and slept.
........One year anniversary
"Happy first anniversary meri jaan." I said kissing his forehead and moved back. I saw him smiling. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at me. Then suddenly I was flat on my back on the bed with him hovering over me.
"Now that's not how you wish anniversary to your husband babe." he said. I raised my brow at him "Then how do one wish her husband?" I asked Wrapping my arms around his neck. He immediately captured my lips while his hands going inside my pyjama to the most sensitive part of my body. I jolted with the sudden attack then enjoyed it to the fullest. This man here is my husband.
He pulled back leaving me breathless. "Happy first anniversary wifey." he said kissing my forehead. I just pulled him towards me and we celebrated our first anniversary in each other's arms.Next morning after waking up, I saw my husband all ready and rummaging through my wardrobe. I got up and went towards him. Hugging him from the back i asked him what he was looking for. He then turned "I got it. Here wear this and get ready fast. We are going somewhere." "Where are we going?" I enquired but he just pushed me into the washroom.
"Assalamualaikum badi Maa." I greeted my badi Maa and she quickly engulfed me in to a tight hug wishing me. She backed up and kissed my forehead. After everyone congratulated us we started having our breakfast. "I am done. Let's go." Arsalan said getting up. I was giving juice to dadi jani. I wiped her mouth and she blessed me. We set for our destination which is unknown to me. "Arsalan" I called out to him.
"yes meri jaan." he took hold of my hand and kissed it focusing on the road. "You will always be there for me na?" I don't know why suddenly such a thought came in my mind. I just needed his assurance. I have come to love this man who is my husband so much that even the thought of him not being there with me makes me feel suffocated.
He looked taken aback at my sudden question and looked at me for a second and again focusing on the road. I was waiting for his reply. Just after a few seconds car came to a stop. I looked back and saw a building fully ready for being used for whatever it was made. We both got out and he quickly came to me. He cupped my face and looking directly into my eyes said "I don't know why do you even have to ask that but I could just say one thing to your question. You are my life. If you are not with me then I am just a human body inhaling carbon dioxide and exhaling oxygen."
"huh" I frowned then it registered. I glared at him. He started laughing.
"Arsalan that was just slip of tongue. When will you stop teasing me with that?" I whined slapping him on his chest. It was when I was studying medicine. Once Arslan was asking me questions and while answering it slipped out of my mouth that human body inhale carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen. Since then he teases me that how I am a doctor.
"Never." he said kissing my forehead. I just smiled.
He took my hand and we walked inside the building.
He told me it was going to be a hospital where even I will be working as a nutritionist. I was so happy. I got married before even completing my studies. And when I did, dadi jani and Maa fell ill. Doctor suggested proper diet plans could help them both. Badi Maa was tensed so I didn't apply for internship and helped badi Maa in taking care of Maa and dadi jani. But my husband fulfilled that incomplete work. I am so thankful to him.
After looking around we went to movie, then restaurant for lunch. Then we went to mall in play zone. We spent our whole afternoon there. After that we had some snacks and went to beach which is at a distance. There he had arranged a romantic dinner. We danced on slow song. I also gifted him a silver locket with M and I had one with A." Never remove it"I told him.
....
Baby news"Congratulations Dr. Maham. You are 3 weeks pregnant ." My colleague Dr. Ishani congratulated me .I beamed at her and just hugged her tight. "Thank you so much."
She laughed patting my back. I went to my cabin and just couldn't stop smiling. I wanted to just run to Arsalan and tell him but he is not here. He has gone for an important work. He got some news about his long lost friend so he went there to look for him. I wish he finds him. He really misses his friend. He told me once that they were very close but something happened and he just vanished. They Always sticked to each other so when he disappeared suddenly Arsalan was devastated. Ahh Allah let him find his friend.
But no issues. He is coming back tomorrow.
I packed my bags and rushed home. I prayed shukrana namaz and thanked Allah with all my heart. For giving me all the happiness I have and adding this one into it. I feel complete.
........
I heard the car screeching noise and knew it was Arsalan. He informed me he will be getting late.
I went to stand behind the door. He opened the door and called out to me but stopped suddenly when he saw the banner I put across the wall. It said "WELCOME HOME DADDA TO BE" I saw him getting freeze on his place. I hugged him from behind and repeated those words. He removed my hands from hsi chest, turned me around and squeezed the life out of me. I grinned and he started kissing my whole face. I just chuckled. "I am going to be a dadda" he said. And I nodded grinning.
....
Life has been blissful since I have informed Arsalan and everyone else about my pregnancy. Actually it has been blissful since I got married. Alhamdulillah. I sighed. It's 4 months since I told Arsalan about our baby and I am 5 months pregnant with twins.
Arsalan has been pampering me even more than before. But since a few days he looks stressed. I asked him but he just says it's nothing I should worry about. Since a few days I am not having a good feeling too. Maybe pregnancy hormones acting up but there is a constant fear that I am going to lose everything I have. I am trying to be positive but nothing is working.
