Penning My Fairytale

What A Dramatic Day It Was

The morning following their wedding, Farjaad woke up with squinted eyes to check the time. However, he found himself in an entirely new situation. Umeed was nestled against his chest, her arm wrapped around his torso, and their legs intertwined. Farjaad thought that Umeed might enjoy hugging someone while sleeping, a habit she had probably developed with her pillows, Aghu Jaan, or even Haya back home. Now, it was him she was clung to. He smiled, a sense of affection washing over him, and gently caressed her hair.

After admiring her beauty for a moment, Farjaad attempted to extricate himself from her embrace without waking her up. He rose from the bed to prepare for a day at the office, heading to the bathroom for a quick refresh. Upon returning, he dressed in his office attire and adjusted his tie. While in front of the mirror, he couldn't resist stealing glances at his newly wedded bride, nestled among the pillows. A smile played on his lips as he slowly approached her, his eyes fixed on her face. Farjaad sat down by her side, gently tucking her hair behind her ear and caressing her cheek. Umeed stirred, feeling a sensation on her cheek, and opened her eyes to find him in his office suit, which left her feeling a bit puzzled.

"Aap subah subah tayyar ho ke kiun beth gaye hain?" she asked with her sleepy eyes.

"Office jane ke liye" he replied.

"HAINNN, aap mazaak kar rahe hain na" Her eyes widened in surprise as she sat up.

"Main kiun mazaak karne laga" Farjaad responded.

"Dekhen Farjaad-" she began, but he interrupted her.

"Dekh hi to raha hoon," he said, a hint of flirtation in his tone, which made her blush.

"Main mazaak ke mood me nahi hoon mujhe sachi sachi bataen ap kiyun tayyar hue we hain" She paused for a bit and spoke.

"To begum apse mazaak kar kon raha hai mai waqai office ja raha hoon aik urgent meeting hai"

"Loooo jiii shadi ki agli subah kon office jata hai?"

"Apka shohar" he replied with a cheeky grin.

"Dekhen Farjaad pehli baat to ye hai apki flirty lines ke chungal me mai nahi ane wali or doosri baat ye ke agar aj ap office gaye to larai ka qasoorwar ap mujhe nahi t'heraye ga" she warned.

"Flirty Lines!!! Umeed flirt kahan kar raha hoon bwi ho tum meri or dosri baat dekho sirf aj jaounga or sirf teen chaar ghante ke liye phir to poore chaar din tumhare paas hi hoon"

"Arghhhh Farjaad aik ghanta ho yan chaar ap aj office nahi jayen ge warna bohat buri larai ho jae gi"

"Acha aik kaam karte hain mai jaldi se meeting attend karta hoon phir hum bahir lunch karenge. Happy?"

"Koi happy shappy nahi or koi bahane nahi chalenge ap office nahi jaenge to nahi jaenge agar ap chahte hain ke mai apne ghar chali jaoun to meeting attend karlain"

"UMEED, kaisi baatain kar rahi ho shadi ke agle din kon subah subah apne ghar jata hai"

"To shadi ke agle din kon subah subah office jata hai"

"Dekho majboori hai warna mai kiun tumhe chor ke jata"

"Meri khaatir nahi ruk sakte?" she said with puppy eyes.

"Umeed please sirf aaj"

"Theek hai phir mai bhi apne ghar ja rahi hoon"

"Arey ye kia baat hui tum mujhe chor ke kaise ja sakti ho?"

"Jaise aap mujhe chor ke ja rahay hain"

After a few moments of contemplative silence in the room, Farjaad retrieved his phone and dialled Miss Mehak's number.
