AHL-E - DIL

" Arfa meri chai lekar aao" Sameeha shouted from the living room, she was surfing Facebook and laughing at some memes.

( Bring my tea)

" Jee lai Mummy " Arfa replied back from the kitchen. It was just 7 in morning but a total messy and busiest time for her. She had to prepare her Mother in law's tea, prepare breakfast for everyone, wake up her husband. Serve everyone breakfast.Then, she had to eat her breakfast then start preparing for lunch.

So chaotic..

( Yes, I'm bringing)

" Here, is your tea " Arfa placed the cup on the table which was placed in front of  couch, where her mother in law was sitting.

Arfa then rushed towards the kitchen, in fear what if her Paratha gets burned.

After, placing the last paratha in casserole. She rushed towards her room to wake Aryan up , who might be sleeping like kumbhkarn.

{Paratha is a flatbread native to South Asia, prevalent throughout the modern-day nations of India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Maldives, Afghanistan, Myanmar, Malaysia, Singapore, Mauritius, Fiji, Guyana, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago...

Place of origin: Indian subcontinent

Main ingredients: Wheat, Flour, Water, Cooking oil / ghee/ butter.}

" Aryan uthein, it's 8 Am already " Arfa shook aryan softly.

( Wake up)

" Aryan uthein " He  groaned but stood up after arfa shook him for umpteenth time.

( Wake up)

He checked the time and rushed towards the bathroom " Why didn't you wake me up early it's 8:30 Am " He slammed the bathroom door and got in.

Arfa rushed towards their closet and set his suit with a matching tie on the bed. She placed his watch and wallet near it.

Soon, click of bathroom door was heard . Aryan entered the bedroom his towel hanging sinfully on his lower torso. Water dripping down his well built body , showcasing his hours spend in Gym.

He smirked looking at Arfa who was gazing at him. He came closer to her and gripped her waist making her breath hitched. He slowly lowered his face towards her ear and kissed her ear lobe seductively. After few minutes he pushed her back smirking. That's what he always do, leaving her on the edge of knife.

Arfa looked down embarrassingly, he got dressed up in his ocean blue shirt and black slacks. Arfa helped him wearing his blazer.

They both got down and Arfa served him his breakfast. After having his breakfast he kissed his mother forehead who was watching some series on TV and got out of the house leaving behind his wife , who also yearned for him.

After he left, Arfa rushed towards the kitchen clearing up the dining table and making preparation for the lunch. After hours, she went towards the living room to ask if her mother in law needed something.

" Mummy , apko kuch chahiye kiya ? "

( Mother, do you need something?)

" Nhi beta, bass pair mein bohot dard ho raha hai subha sey kiya kare iss budhape ney sata rakha hai " Her mother in law made a pity face.

( No daughter, just my leg is aching is since morning what to do this old age is cruel.)

" Koi baat nhi ammi,Mein daba deti hu" Arfa replied and sat down on the floor near her feet and massaging it.

( No problem mother in law, I will massage it.)

" Bohot sukriya agar tum nhi hoti toh mera kiya hota " Sameeha replied her eyes closed with pleasure.

( Thank you, if you wouldn't be there then what would have happened to me. )

Sameeha - the so called mother in law who is just so lazzy that she don't even move to get a glass of water. She just rules around Arfa. Troubling her here and there . Don't forget that she is taking advantages of being a mother in law.

Arfa was pressing her legs since 1 hour and light snores can be heard she got up and left as she saw that Sameeha was in a deep sleep now.
.........

She went to their room took a shower and prayed Salah. She got downstairs to Shahnawaz's room to serve him lunch.

Poor old man everyone ignored him as his health was Detrioting day by day. People really forget their roots when they achieve their goals. Just the way, Aryan and Sameeha did. The luxury they are living today is all because of Shahnawaz's hardwork. If he hadn't initiated any start up then this JQS Enterprises would have never existed. His passion, honesty , and his sedulous mind has let them where they are today.

They don't even look at him just because he has become disabled due to health. He needs help in standing and walking.

Arfa knocked on the door of  Shahanawaz's bedroom. Yes, Sameeha demanded a different bedroom because she was tired assisting Shahnawaz through night and day.

" Ajayien beta " He replied, as he knew his daughter in law only checked on him and kept a track of his meds to health.

( Come in dear)

" Abbu khana " Arfa said and placed it on table.

( Father, food)

Shahnawaz sat up on the bed, and Arfa set up the bed table and placed food on it. He smiled at her " Always be happy in your life. May God bless you and protect you from evil eyes and evil things always. " Arfa smiled at him and crouched towards the bed drawer and took out a box which had his medicines.

She checked it and placed some tablet on the bed table so that he can have it after lunch.

She made note on her phone what to  medicines she have to buy as the stock was about to end.

After Shahnawaz was done, she helped him washing his hands and checked his blood pressure and oxygen levels and wrote it down in his health journal diary which she maintained everyday.
......

It was soon night, and Arfa was applying moisturizer in her hands when she heard continues message beeping sound from Aryan's phone. She didn't wanted to act like a curious wife but her mind told something else. After debating for few seconds , she just choose to check it for once.

Her heart broke when she saw the notifications bars.

It was texts from a name called Ritika.

Hey !

Are you free?

What are you doing?

Are you with that whore again?

My body is betraying me it needs a cavemen to mark on it.
👅👅👅

I think you are busy?!?

I'm free tomorrow at 2 PM , see you at office. 💋💋

Her heart shattered, she now understood, why he was always in his phone. He was also never at home on Sundays. Aryan came out from the washroom wearing only trouser and plopped down on the bed.

He gazed at her who looked lost. He got near her and started nibbling her earlobe. She felt disgusted and pushed him away. Aryan mistook it as Shyness. He again held her waist but this time Arfa stood up and turned off the lights and slept on her side of the bed. Aryan, glanced at her one last time thinking she is on her periods maybe and slept at his side.

Didn't feel like confronting her.

Whereas, Arfa was awake the whole night, her mind was playing different scenarios of what ifs. She wanted to ask so may questions to him but restrained herself. She wanted to see herself from her own eyes. She decided that she will go to his office tomorrow and check on him.

A wise man said " You can't change someone who doesn't see an issue in his actions. "
