Safeena

proposal

As he took off her dress, he saw the scar on her stomach. He brushed his thumb over it. She looked at him doing that. She brushed the back of his neck asking him,
" What?"
" That scar."
" What about that?"
" It's still there."
" So is yours."
" Mine is nothing."
He bent down and kissed her scar.
" What are you doing?"
" Kissing the scar heals it faster."
" Then I --"
" You just kiss me . That's more than enough."
She kissed him passionately.
He picked her up by her legs around his waist and threw her into the hay in the stable.
" Assem!"
" This is for playing games with me."
He himself then jumped right into it.
Both of them were laughing and enjoying their time together.
" You have become a lot mischievous." She said.
" Look at who is speaking."
" I am feeling so good."
" All thanks to me right?" Aseem smirked.
" Yes, it's all you."
" Will you marry me?"
" What did you just ask?!"
" Will. You. Marry. Me?"
" Is there still a need to ask this question? Hell yes."
He went on top of her and kissed each and every square inch of her. She was moaning his name every time he did that.
" Do you think we should go in?"
" And leave this incomplete? Not at all. " He was breathing heavily.
" They will get worried."
" Right now, I don't care. Let me have you all for myself."
" I am "
" Right now, my plan is to pass you out." She moaned.

Veera and Alfez were talking inside.
" You are not leaving right?" Veera wanted to re-sure.
" No. Hey, we are not going anywhere. Okay?" Alfez assured her.
" Okay"
" Okay. Get some rest now, go to sleep peacefully."
" No, I have to do the dishes."
" I will do that. You go to sleep."
" No no how can I let you do that? No I will do that."
" Why? Why can't I do that?"
" No, you shouldn't, I am there to do that."
" It's not your job. You go rest. I will finish this all."
" But --"
" Stop talking."

He went towards the kitchen and she followed him.
" You won't let it go , will you?"
" Don't worry I won't mess up your kitchen." Alfez continued
" No, not that, I just think you shouldn't -"
" It's alright. I used to do this in my house too. I have a habit of all this. I can cook too."
" You can?"
" Yes ofcourse, I had to learn."
" Why?"
" My parents died as Aseem turned ten. So I used to do everything for us. So I know. Don't worry."
" Oh it's so, I am sorry."
" It's alright. The point is , I know a bit ofcourse not more than you."
" Oh come on."
" No I am serious. You are a really good cook."
" Thank you."
She blushed.
" Where are Aseem and Safeena? Why aren't they back yet?"
" Ahh- I think they are maybe invested in something else."
" Something else? It's too late, I mean they can--"
" They won't get lost or something. Don't worry about them."
" How did he got you out from the prison? "
" He and his intelligence. He planned it all. He entered the palace as a prince and then got the prison examined. He did a lot of work for me."
" How long have you been there?"
" More than a month."
" It would have been tough in prison."
" It was. A lot. I can't get that out of my head."
" I understand."
" Are you sure we shouldn't go out to look for them?" Veera asked.
" It's alright. They will come back after they are done.Alright it's done , tell me how to arrange it." Alfez said.
" I will arrange it , now please go and sleep."
" Tell me ."
" Alfez--"
" Tell me "
" Fine." She smiled.
" What? Why are you smiling?"
" It's nothing."
" What? Tell me, Veera. Why are you smiling."
" Your clothes , they are all wet."
His front was full wet. He didn't noticed because of her influence on him. When he saw her smiling , he smiled too.
" You said you know everything."
She laughed.
" I do know"
" This?"
" Stop laughing okay? It can happen to anyone. "
She laughed.
" It can happen to anyone! It can happen to you too."
" What?!"
He then started sprinkling water on her.
" Alfez no! Stop."
" See, it can happen to you too. Now go on, laugh."
" Alfez." She laughed
Looking at her laughing, he was proud of himself.
She caught him gazing at her. She stopped laughing and blushed a little.
" What?"
" Nothing." He smiled.
" Let me help you." She took the plates from his hands and started arranging them. He couldn't keep his eyes off her.
" You can go to sleep. Alfez , I like doing all this. I have no complaints. "
" Alfez?"
" Alfez are you there?" She jerked him. He was so lost.
" Yeah , yeah. "
" No, what did I just say?"
" You -- ah - you said that-" he stumbled.
" It's okay, go to sleep." She giggled.
" I will arrange everything outside." He said.

" Listen?" Aseem asked her as they laid relaxed.
" Yeah?"
" When you talked about Shaheen earlier, you miss her a lot ?"
" I mean yeah, I do but I feel worried about her more than I miss her. I have no idea what's going on there."
" I can understand. Should I go back and check?"
" Are you insane? No. " Safeena exclaimed.
" But you miss her."
" So ? Are you going to enter into the death race for that ?"
He nodded confidently.
" No. Aseem no."
" I will just go and get you a message from her or something."
" Aseem no means no."
" I will be safe , I have a plan."
" Aseem , do you understand the word NO by any chance? No."
" What if she needs you? I will make sure that I won't get caught. "
" Aseem! I am not going to let you go alone anywhere. Even if you are the strongest person on this earth, I won't let you go alone. You get me ?"
" Fine " he kissed her forehead.
" Good "
" Safeena? "
" Yes?"
" I don't know why, but I think if you need some idea about what's going on in your kingdom, we need to go to Hastipur."
" Because, normally If something happens in one kingdom, it automatically reaches every where. As your news of running away. Do you understand me ?"
" I do get you. So you think we should go."
" Let's just go and check."
" Okay I am ready."
" Not now, princess. Now it's my time. We will see about that tomorrow."
Both of them kept talking until they went off to sleep.

In the house, Veera was waiting for Alfez to go to sleep.
" Why are you not sleeping?" Veera asked Alfez.
" Because you are still awake."
" They haven't returned."
" I bet they will come in the morning."
" How can you be so sure?"
" Both of them are people who take an immediate advantage of their alone time. So don't worry. Both of them are enough to protect each other too. And even if something happens, he knows how to call me for help. So just relax."
" Alright. If you say so."
" Now please get back to sleep."
She was standing on the door when she noticed a beautiful flower outside.
" Look!"
" What?!" He immediately got up and came towards the door.
" That flower, it only blooms at night. Look at that grace. It's so beautiful."
" You want it ? wait."
He immediately went towards it and got it for her.
" Here "
He hesitated to give it to her as he had other plans in his head. He moved his hand back and forth twice. She noticed him doing that. She smiled a little and turned around herself so that he could place it in her hair.
" It -- it looks more- beautiful-- on you."
She blushed. He became awkward again.
" You -- we should sleep - I guess."
" Yes "

After that, in the morning, Veera woke up first. She got freshened up when Alfez just woke up.
He saw her braiding her hair while arranging the flowers. The sunlight hit right on her face. He was so memorized by her that his mouth remained open.
" Hey you woke up! "
" Ah yes yes."
" Come on get freshened up. I will get breakfast for you."
" Sure."
" Alfez , they aren't back yet."
" They aren't?"
" No "
" Okay I will go check."
He freshened up and went out to look for them.
He searched around the house for a bit and then made his way to the stable. There he saw them sleeping on the hay. He touched his forehead and called Veera.
" What?" She looked at them sleeping.
" Oh my god."
" I told you. "
Both of them giggled.
Alfez went towards Aseem and woke him up.
" Alfez?" When Aseem came back to his senses he saw Veera and Alfez looking at him. Aseem gave a big smile.
" What are you smiling for? Get up!"
He gave a big stretch. Safeena was still asleep.
" She is still asleep." Veera said.
" Wait , I will get her in."
Aseem picked her up in her sleep and brought her in.
Veera walked in ahead of them. Aseem and Alfez were walking together with her in his arms.
" Alfez "
" Yes?"
" I asked safeena to marry me."
" And she said no right?"
" Alfez!"
" Just joking. Congratulations to you brother."
" Thank you. And what about you?"
" About me? What?"
" Oh Come on. I have seen the way you look at her. Now just talk "
" It's nothing --"
" Atleast don't lie to me."
" Fine, I think I like her."
" Don't think brother. You like her."
" Fine. I like her. I do like her. She is beautiful, she is kind, she is soft like a feather, she is soothing as the moon, her voice gives me butterflies. I never thought that I would be having such a beautiful woman standing at my doorstep." Alfez blushed.
" You are so in love , brother."
