"Do you want proof of my love, babybird?" he whispered.
"Do you want to know what I see when I can't sleep?"
The screen turned black.A video started playing.
I gasped.I wanted to scream. But no sound came.
It was us.
That night.Our first time.
Tear...

Just when their lips were going to meet,a tiny shriek caught their attention forcing them to separate. It was Abid. The little boy creeped to the bed between them as Sultan said,"What's wrong Abid?You should sleep by now."
His attendant came running behind him standing at the doorway with a bowed head,"I am sorry master. I will take little master and tuck him to bed."
"Nooooooo. I want to sleep with micchi tonight,"he said throwing his limbs.
"Abid beta be good and obey her."
Suddenly Mishti spoke,"It's okay Sultanji.......let him sleep with us if he insists.I don't have a problem."
Sultan gave her that but-i-have-a-problem look. Yet he couldn't see her sullen face and gave into her demand. He dismissed the nanny and said,"What can I do now?But I can guarantee you that you won't survive his naughtiness. He is way too hard to handle. I just hired four maids only for him. Two of them gave up the job."
"I don't think it's that hard to handle a child,"Mishti replied. She gently caressed Abid who was calming down in her touch. It was a scene for Sultan hard to digest. "I know how it feels to be living without parents. Still I have my dad but......"
Her father neglected her all through his life. His first priority was his second wife and her kid. Even though that house they were staying was made by her mother's money yet she had no rights on it. There was no one besides her when she used to suffer in fever. She had been doing her things since a very young age. "Children are sent by heaven to make us realise what true innocence is. I don't want him to feel neglected like I did all through my life."
Sultan stared at her in awe. She was lovingly putting little abid to sleep. He was going to never let her go. Even if it took a thousand efforts. He would do anything for her. If she tries to leave him for any reason in the future,he won't hesitate to break her legs and make her stay. There was a thin line between his sanity and uncontrollable feelings for Mishti. She sang a lullaby to Abid. Unknowingly herself sleeping off. He watched her sleeping peacefully with abid nestled in her chest. It was a beautiful sight to behold. Sultan had an overbrimming urge to touch her as he raised his hand which advanced at a sleeping Mishti. Somehow he stopped it midway because he was aware of his beastly desires which don't tend to stop once initiated.
"Mrs. Mishti Sultan Khan, you are in my bones and my blood. I'd have to tear myself open to let you go."
When Mishti woke up,abid was still asleep. It was quite morning. She noticed Sultan wasn't there beside them. His side of the bed containing a note which said-"Be ready at sharp 6 at the evening. We will be going somewhere. I have a gift for you in the cupboard. Do check it."
Instantaneously a smile took its place on her love shaped face. She looked to check and found a gift box. She was going to open it when Jubaida begum made an entry. She immediately hid it inside the cupboard but the shrewd woman already saw the box wrapped by a colourful ribbon.
