Rukhsar
Things felt different.
The next morning she made her way into the kitchen , and there he was .
Her husband.
He stood there flipping pancakes for Inaya , who sat there looking at hin in awe.
It was a usual morning , yet it felt different.
He looked up at her , his eyes meeting hers and he gave a small smile .
"Naashta ?" He said , and she felt so weird in her skin she she shook her head,
"Mein khud bana loun gi" she said as she turned to the fridge.
"Papa is making Pancwakes." Inaya pointed out the obvious.
Rukhsar smiled at the 5 year old ,
"How are you feeling ?" She asked ,
Inaya made a face ,
"Itchy" she said , and Rukhsar kissed her head.
"You'll be fine Inaya" Qasim said trying to reassure her , as he placed two more pancakes .
Rukhsar looked at him again,
"I need to speak with you" she said ,
And he nodded ,
"Bolo?" He asked ,
"Akele mein" she said biting her lip,
He nodded ,
"Inaya finish this up and then you can put on a movie okay" he told the 5 year old who nodded fully invested in her pancakes .
Rukhsar led him to the corridor,
And turned to him only to find him really close to her , she could smell his cologne.
Clearing her throat she stepped back but her back made contact with the wall.
"Thora peeche hojaye" she said , and he raised an eyebrow,
"Tum hojao" he said signalling behind her , a smile coming on his lips.
Rukhsar huffed , feeling her cheeks heatup.
She looked away and he chuckled ,
Moving a step back,
"Bolo ," he said nodding,
She looked at him again, tucking a stray tendril behind her ear.
"If what you said yesterday is true" she started and he furrowed his eyebrows ,
"And you did what you did for me" she continued and he gave a small nod, fully paying attention to her words
"I want you to go over to bhais today with me and fix things with Neelum bhabi" she said quickly.
Not a sound came from him.
And she looked at him his lips were pressed together .
"How does that work ?" He asked ,
"I don't want to have the stress of a strained relationship with my brothers wife , I also don't want you to step in defend me " she said ,
"Agar koi masla higa tou mein khud handle karloun gi" she said breaking eye contact with him.
He breathed through his nose .
She knew he would not like what she had to say but-
"Kab janna hai?" He asked her , and she looked at him in surprise.
"You'll come with me?" She asked again, and he nodded .
"Mujhe pasand nahi hai tumhari khuwaish, par if makes things easier for you why wouldn't I want that." He said ,
"Naashta kar lo phir chaltay hain" he said to her .
Once again she stood in the corridor as he headed upstairs unsure if the new dynamic between them.
