Ayena

Part 20

"How often does Afaq gift you things?" Rumi asked Ayena.

"Hmm...well, the last time he had gifted me a dress long time back." Ayena answered.

"Hamza keeps gifting me something every month. Look at this ring,he gave me yesterday." Rumi said flaunting the emerald ring in her finger.

"That's so beautiful." Ayena smiled.

"Ours was a love marriage." Rumi said.

"Is it! That's so nice." Ayena smiled.

"You know what these gestures makes a relationship stronger." Rumi said.

Ayena smiled at her.

"I guess your relationship is different. You act so childish and immature sometimes. Afaq might find difficult to handle you sometimes." Rumi said trying to fill Ayena's mind with negativity.

"Who told you? He never told me anything like that ever. Instead he loves me for my childish behavior." Ayena said.

"That's because you are in your initial stage of your marriage. As time goes he will be fed up with handling your behavior. And you are even going out to study further. What if this distance gives him a chance to go away from you? " Rumi said.

Ayena became quiet which gave Rumi a hint that her work was done. She has spilled the beans of negativity into Ayena's mind.

"OK its time for Hamza to come. I am going to prepare his favourite dinner today. See you bye." Rumi left.

Ayena was left in her thoughts.

"Heyy hello" Afaq patted Ayena's shoulders.

"Hmmm, hello." Ayena said softly.

"Where were you lost? Are you alright?" Afaq asked.

"Hmmm yes I am fine." Ayena said.

"Heyy sweet heart, what happened you seem low?" Afaq asked Ayena.

Ayena just hugged him tightly ,"Am I childhish?"

"Yes you are." Afaq said consoling her.

"What??" Ayena asked wiping away her tears.

"What's wrong with you. You are childish and now I have learned to deal with it. And by the way your nature makes you more beautiful." Afaq said pulling her closer.

"I know but still ...." Ayena was again lost in thoughts.

"What is bothering you? Tell me." Afaq asked hugging her.

Ayena kept her head on his chest and said," You know sometimes I feel like we aren't compatible. You are so matured and I am an immature fool."

"Well you are a fool there is no doubt in that but you are mine and I have no option other than putting up with you." Afaq said caressing her hairs.

"What do you mean? If you get other option you will think about it?" Ayena asked with her wide eyes.

"Hmmm..." Afaq said keeping his hand on his face.

"I just hate you Afaq. You are such a cheater." Ayena pushed him and was about to walk away.

Afaq pulled her and Ayena fell straight upon him ,"That's why I call you a fool. You are Mrs. Ayena Afaq. You are the only girl in my life. My wife is my life. And you are my life sweetheart."
