Zaroorat intezaar nahi karati

Mohabbat ko hi waqt ka intezaar karna parta hai

Workaholic.

The one thing I hated about my husband. Murtasim was a workaholic and everyone knew it. He would work days on end and not get tired. I never minded him working but he comprises his health. His sleep schedule is messed up, he skips meals and doesn't take care of himself at all. He has visibly aged in the past few days. He has dark circles under his eyes, slouched form and always looks so tired.

He has been so busy the past week that we barely see each other. He leaves early in the morning before I wake up and comes back late at night when I'm fast asleep. I'm so busy with my Khaanum duties all day, I don't even get a chance to call or check up on him.

Today was one of those rare days where Murtasim was working from home. I had missed him. His care, attention, caresses and kisses. I had gotten used to his pampering and it felt empty without him. I knew he would be working tonight as well but at least I got to see him.

He was outside with Bakhtu discussing some work. I could see him outside from our balcony window. I remember him telling me earlier today he had a severe headache. Contemplating for a minute, I got up and walked to the kitchen. Everyone was asleep and the only sound you could hear was of my feet carefully padding against the floor as I made my way through the hallways.

I entered the kitchen and got out the ingredients to make some nice coffee. It had been ages since we had coffee together. I turned on the kettle and got out our cups. As I waited for the water to boil, I couldn't shake off the excitement of spending some time with him.

I was worried for him, I love Murtasim and I don't want him to tire himself out. Not only is he a great businessman and Gaddi Nasheen, he is the best husband ever. He has always taken care of me and respected me and my wishes. He is the most considerate person I have met.

He might be a headstrong, fierce and bold leader, but he is just as soft, gentle, caring and a loving husband. He always makes sure to check up on Maa Begum's health and Marium's studies. No matter how busy he is, he never forgets to take care of his family. He needed a rest, a good vacation. I need to add a spa day for Murtasim in my agenda.

The soft click of the kettle halted my thoughts as I refocused on my task. I made him a strong cup of black coffee as he liked and made myself some latte with lots of sugar and cream. I anticipated seeing him as I made my way back to our room with the cups of coffee.

I opened the door to our room, and there he was, perched on the arm of the chaise in our room. He was engrossed in some papers and had an adorable pout on his face as he tried to figure out what he was looking at. I was leaning against the door frame admiring my husband.

He was the very definition of male beauty. He had a handsome charm to him that made him like no other. His impeccable looks mixed with his captivating personality, he was the man of many people's dreams. I always consider myself to be married to him.

In the midst of my thoughts I didn't realise how long i had been staring at him as now he was looking at me. A warm smile graced his face.

'Aise kya dekh rahi ho?' he asked raising an eyebrow.

'Kuch nahi, bas apne shohar ko dekh rahi thi, dekh bhi nahi sakti?' I replied suppressing my smile.

'Kyun nahi, lekin waha kyu khari ho, paas ao na , phir jee bhar ke dekh lena. Tumhara hi toh hun.' He replied flirtatiously. I walked over to him and passed him his cup.

'Ap ke liye coffee, sar dard kam ho jayega.'

'Thanks, I really needed it.' he gazed at me tenderly. I carefully watched him as he took a sip.

'Batao na, coffee kaisi bani hai?'

'Bohat acchi'

'Aakhir banayi kisne'

'Meri jaan nai'

A big smile formed on my face as I took in his words. He moved closer to me and encircled his left arm around my waist pulling me towards him. I felt a warm kiss on my forehead as I snuggled my face in the crook of his neck. As I inhaled deeply, his intoxicating scent drove my senses crazy. I basked in his warmth before breaking the silence,

'I missed you so much'

'I know meri jaan, I'm sorry. Gaon ka itna kaam tha, I had to take care of it urgently.' he caressed my hair and placed a soft kiss on my temple.

'I'm not letting you go anywhere from today' I said as a pout formed on my face. He let out a chuckle.

'Kahin nahi jaa raha, tumhe chor kar jaunga kahan. Tum hi toh mera sab kuch ho, Hmm?'

After a few moments of peace, he pulled back and sincerely looked into my eyes.

'I really don't want to move but I have some work left to finish, i'll come to you as soon as i'm done.' I let out a sigh and nodded before I moved back. I walked towards our bed and laid down. I pulled the covers on me and closed my eyes in attempts to catch some sleep.

Seconds turned into minutes and minutes into hours. Sleep was nowhere to be found. I tossed and turned aimlessly trying to find peace. He must have sensed my distress as he asked,

'Tum abhi tak soyi nahi Meerab?' I sat up straight to face him.

'Nahi, tumhe pata mujhe tumhare baghair neend nahi aati.' I stated sadly as I gazed at him. He was slouched and wrinkles had formed on his forehead. He was clearly tired too.

'I'm sorry jaan, it's taking longer than I expected.' He let out a sigh. After a few moments he patted the spot next to him on the sofa, telling me to come. I picked up the throw on our bed and got up making my to the sofa.

I laid down and placed my head on his lap while he placed the blanket over me. He ran his hands through my hair and placed soft kisses to my head. As I started to doze off, I let out a whisper,

'I love you Murtasim'

'I love you too meri jaan'

I finally found my peace and got some sleep.
