Days are passing normally, marium's wedding day is drawing near. Everyone was so busy with works, Specially meerab. She's the Khanum of the house and also Marium's only bhabi so she and murtasim have more responsibilities in their shoulders.

Today they were going to sent invitation card to their close relatives. Meerab and murtasim had left home early in the morning with this responsibility.

He was driving the car but his eyes are scanning her time to time. She was sitting on the passengers seat while making a pouted face. He wanted to kiss that pout so badly.

"Are you okay begum?", he asked her.
She looked at him cutey and replied," mujhe bhook lagi hai".

"Aww, my baby. Pehle batana tha na. Chalo phir chalte hain samne ke kisi cafe mein", he suggested.

They reached near a small cafe. He get out of the car and opened the door for her while giving his hand to her. Ahe held his hand and came out of the car. Everyone eas Looking at them with an awe. They are such an adorable couple.

As they entered into the cafe he pulled a chair for her. She sits there and he took his seat facing her.

"Dekho yeh bhai sahab kitne pyar se apni biwi ke liye chair pull kar rahe hain, kuch sikho inse", a women complained his husband." Nayi nayi shaadi hui hai lagta hai isi liye, tum yaad karo jaan main bhi college ke time pe tumhare liye yeh sab karta tha", her husband replied.

Murtasim chuckled silently listening to them." Bhai sahab correction kijiye humari shaadi ko 6 mahine ho gaye hain, main phir bhi apki biwi se utna hi pyaar karta hu", murtasim said. Meerab's face turn red. She was blushing hard.

"Aap chup rahiye na please, sab humein hi dekh rahe hain", she whispered." Toh? Kuch nhi hota. Sab ko pata chalne do main apni biwi se kitna pyaar karta hu", he said Looking at her with his dark brown eyes. She blushed hard duo to his gaze.

After their breakfast date they had again started their journey. Now they were going to his mamu's house. After Rohail incident he wasn't ready to visit there but it will look weird to invite them by other hands. So he halfheartedly agreed to this.

As they entered in the house his uncle  Ijaz ali greeted them happily. He hugged his uncle.

"Assalamualaikum mamujaan", meerab said with a smile.

"Walaikum assalam beta. Khush raho hamesha", he replied and placed hia hand on her head." Aao baitho na bacchon", his mami said happily.

"Aaj jaa ke bhai tum dono aaye ho. Shaadi ke itne dinon baad, aaj ruk jao na beta ", mami said.

"Mami aapko toh pata hi hai 15 din baad marium ki shaadi hai, bohot kaam hai hum phir kabhi aayenge", he excused.

"Main chai le kar aati hu, chai pi kar jana"

"Nhi nhi itna waqt nhi

Ijaz understood why he was giving excuses. Meerab wasn't comfortable here.

"Beta salma ko bolna main aur tumhari mami shaadi wale din zaroor jayenge", Ijaz said.

"Maya appi kahan hain? Dikhai nhi de rahi?", meerab asked." Woh apni kisi dost ke ghar gayi hai", mami replied.

"Hum log chalte hain aur bhi jagah invitation dene jana hai", murtasim said while standing from his seat. Meerab followed him.

"Allah hafiz", meerab said.

As they reached the main door maya entered in the house."murtasim tum yahan?", she said with a smile. Muratsim didn't said anything.

"Aab kya apni dost se baat bhi nhi karoge?"

"Sorry but mere paas waste karne ke liye waqt nhi hai, chalo meerab", muratsim said and left

"Meerab aab tum bhi mujhse baat nhi karogi kya? Abhi tak gussa ho?", maya said sadly.

"Aap marium ki shaadi mein ayiye tab baat karenge", she replied while following him.

They arrived home at night and maa begum greeted them happily. Muratsim just threw himself on the sofa.

"Ufff..... Aab waqt aa gaya hai ke", he said in a serious tone.

"Kya?", both maa begum and meerab asked him suspiciously.

"Ke meerab ko driving sikha di jaye, mere se itna dur dur tak drive kiya nhi jaata yaar", he said.

"Allah, mujhe laga koi serious baat ho gayi", meerab exclaimed.

"Aur meri bachi kyun car drive kare driver kam padh gaye hain yahan?", maa begum said raising her brows.

"Wagmh kya team badla hai apne maa saab. Bete ke pith ka dard nazar nhi aata", he said dramatically.

"Meerab beta chalo rest karo jaa kar", maa begum dragged her while ignoring murtasim.

"Koi izzat hai bhi ke nhi bhae, saas bahu koi respect nhu karta. Yaar Murtasim teri kisi ko parwa hi nhi hai", he said.

"Kisne kaha mujhe toh parwa hai", marium said and handed him water.

"Maske  na maro, sab janta hun main koi farmaish hogi pakki wali"

"Han hai toh waise"

"Kya?"

"Mujhe aur bhabi ko kal shopping le jaayenge please?", marium requested him.

"Bakhtu ke sath chali jana mujhe gaon jana hai kisi kaam se", he said and left from there.

*****
He entered in their room and find his wife was looking at the moon. He reached her and hugged her from behind and buried his face on her shoulder.

"Kya soch rahi ho jaan?", he asked huskily.
She turn her face to meet hia gaze and replied," Marium ko miss karungi main bohot".

He broke the hug and turned har towards him." Oh toh isi liye sad hua jaa raha hai, haan marium apne sasural ja rhi hai magar humse milne toh ayegi na", he said.

She nodded her head. He cupped her face and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. She encircled her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. He caressed her hairs gently.

"Ek baat bolun?", he asked.

"Hmm"

"Tum na meri jaan ho. Aise udaas na hua karo mujhe takleef hoti hai"

She lifted her face to see him. His eyes are looking at her with so much love.

"Apko pata hai jin halat'on mein humari shaadi hui thi, mujhe laga tha yeh majboori ka rishta hai jo kabhi sayad normal nhi hoga", she said.

"Majboori nhi tha yeh rishta. Tab maine zimmedari ki khatir tumse shaadi ki thi, magar jis din tumne mujhe game laga kar kaha tha na ke mere alawa tumhare paas apna koi nhi hai, uss din se mere dil mein tumhare liye ek soft corner ban gaya, aur kab tumne mere dil pe kabza kar liya pata bhi nhi chala", he uttered having an intense eye lock with her.

"Yeh baat toh sach hi hai , aapke alawa mera koi nhi hai. Aapki wajah se mujhe ek nayi family mili, itna pyaar mila, apne log mile, thank you so much Murtasim. Main hu kyun ke aap mere sath ho, I love you more than anything", she confessed.

A huge smile played on his lips but he makes a pout." Magar tumne ek kaam sahi nhi kiya meerab", he said.

"Kya?"

"Mere dil mein rehne ka kiraya baki hai 6 mahine ka", he joked only to get a slap near his chest. She rolled her eyes at him.

"Arre yaar mazak kar raha hu, I love you too"

She hugged him more tightly and thanked almighty for writing his name on her fate.
