It was Rukhsars reception today , and while things were better between them since last night they had not fully improved .

Neelum was still distant somewhat, trying to protect her heart, they had confessed their feelings for one another but that didn't mean that there weren't any bleeding wounds anymore.

Neelum took out a suite for Ibrahim while she looked into her wardrobe deciding what she could wear.

Finally deciding on a gold saree she took it out, the saree had full sleeves and was very glittery she took it out and started arranging her things , she heard the bathroom door open and out stepped Ibrahim drying his hair with a towel , he carelessly threw it on the bed once he was done and Neelum groaned,
"Ibrahim!" She said , as she turned to him,
"Please towels ko yuh naa phenka karein" she said her tone made him look up with a raised eyebrow,
"Are you okay?" He said as he picked up the towel, and placed it on the rack.
"Gee , please jaldi tayaar hojayein hum late hojayein gay reception k liye" she said going back to the dressing table and looking for her makeup.

"Neelum" she looked up when he called her name ,
"Gee" she said , a thoughtful expression on his face ,
"Are we okay?" He asked , and she sighed ,
"What do you want me to say?" She asked , and he crossed his arms over his chest a frown on his lips,
"Kal raat ko humari baat hui thi , and things were better ? Or was that my imagination" he asked her at a loss of where her attitude was coming from,
She took a deep breath
"Haan humari baat hui thi, but do you really think eik baar baat karne se jo bhi hua humaray beech mein theek hojaye ga? The hurt is still there Ibrahim" she told him honestly as her eyes filled with tears ,

"You sent me away like I was this dispensable person" she said to him,
"It was humiliating" she told him and she saw guilt flash through his face ,
"Mein aap ko apna maanti thi aur eik misunderstanding pe aap ne mujhe itna dur kardiya" she told him ,
"I need time to fully get over the hurt" she told him honestly.
A few seconds nothing was said between them and he finally nodded .

"Neelum , I'm here okay, take asmuch time as you need" he said to her , and she nodded as she wiped away her tears.

"Can I hug you?" He asked her , and she nodded , and he pulled her into his arms pressing a kiss to her temple and whispering sorry in her hear. She let him hug her , feeling his warmth next to herbody she took comfort in it.

"I'm here okay , no matter how long it takes you , I'm here" he said to her pressing a kiss to her forehead.

The reception was a fairly more pleasant event than the nikkah, Rukhsar looked beautiful, and she told her that, she was also smiling and glowing like a newly wedded bride.

Rukhsar and ali were supposed to come back home with them , she helped Rukhsar into the guestroom that was downstairs,

"Tumhe kuch chahiye hai Rukhsar?" She asked her ,
And Rukhsar shook her head,
"Bhabi eik baat pouchni thi aap se" she asked her softly,
And Neelum nodded ,
"Haan poucho" she asked , and Rukhsar blushed ,
"Umm wohh har dafa dard hoti hai kya" she asked and Neelum understood what she meant,
"Nahi , dard nahi hota har dafa, you both need to give yourselves time okay" she said patting her hand ,

Rukhsar nodded .

Neelum got up and headed out, she moved to the kitchen and started preparing chai , knowing her mother in law would like some,

"Do you need company?" She looked up to find her husband , and she smiled , he was trying and she appreciated it.

She shook her head,
"Aap k liye coffee banaoun?" She asked as she poured the chai in a cup,
He shook his head.
"Nahi , mujhe sirf aap ki company chahiye hai" he said flirtatiously.
And she laughed ,
"Buss aunty ko chai de aaoun phir aati hun" she told him, and he nodded .

"Aunty chai?" She said as she placed it on her bedside ,

Her mother in law smiled and patted on her bed wanting her to sit down,
She did.

"Beta tum aur Ibrahim theek ho naa abh?" She asked and Neelum nodded ,

"Abh tou tum dono ki shaadi ko bhi saal honay wala hai, kuch soucha hai family barhanay ka?" She asked , and Neelum looked at her awkwardly
"Umm nahi Aunty......" she trailed of ,

"Tou abh soucho naa beta" she said and Neelum just nodded not knowing what else to say.

Ibrahim was waiting for her when she entered , he had rolled up the sleeves of his dress shirt and taken of the coat, he took her hand in his his Amber eyes taking her in,
"You looked beautiful, ajj" he said to her and pressed his lips to hers , she kissed him back , because she had missed him so so much ,

"Aap bhi din k end pe karte hain tareef" she said to him smiling softly.
And he pressed a kiss to her forehead,
"Aap haath mein hee abhi aayin hain" he said to her , as his lips brushed her neck softly.

She let him bite her beck softly as she bit back a moan , Her arms coming around his neck .

"We should stop" she whispered breathlessly, and he nodded as he pulled back breathing hard into he collar bone .

"Ibrahim" she whispered softly pushing him back ,
"I -l" she didn't know what was holding her back, but it was.

"Hey ,look at me Neelum" he said , cupping her face
"Its okay okay, take whatever you need sweetheart" he said as he pressed a kiss to her head,

"Mujhe nahi patta -" she said and he cut her off,
"Its okay" he said to her pressing a soft kiss to her eyebrow .
He moved back,

"Do you want to watch a movie?" He asked her , and she gave him a smile the killed his heart.

"Lets choose a movie" he said and she nodded.

They had decided on a horror thriller , and Neelum as usual and fallen sleep half way through it already,
Her cheek rested on his chest , he pressed another kiss on her head, And picked her up instead of waking her up, he placed her in bed , tucking her under the duvet.

He got into his side if the bed , and opened his laptop to finish his presentation for a client.

Both of them peacefully side by side of each other , unaware of all the drama that was heading their way.
