That night, the two became one. The love Mairaaj had for his wife intensified a million times as he embraced her all night long. His hands delicately exploring every inch of her body.
She too never thought that life could be this beautiful. Love could be something so precious, so delicate. The way he left wet kisses all over neck as if he couldn't get enough of her, Noor knew she was on the seventh heaven. Mairaaj kissed every single scar on her back as he gently moved his hands across her back.
"I'm not hurting you, am I?"
She shook her head trying to gulp down the tears.
He moved her face towards him, " kia hua, my love?"
"Mne kabhi zindagi mei nhe socha tha ke mere in badsoorat nishanon ki taraf koi muhabbat se dekh sakta hai. "
He smiled, his smiles even visible in the dimly lit room.
"Tumhari ankhon mei vo hai jo meri rooh mein nhe.Tumhari ankhon ki chamak meri rooh ko zinda rakhti hai. To phir mei tumhari taraf muhabbat se kese na dekhoon."tears fell out of her eyes, " magr meri ankhon mei to koi chamak nhe. Ye to mar chuki hn?"
"ياما مرتني عيون وماسهيت إلا بعيونك"
he replied wiping the tear on her face.Noor didn't ask him what it meant. She knew, from the glimmer in his eyes, she knew."I have passed by many eyes, but i only got lost in yours."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The sunlight peeked through the room as the day finally began.
"Just a few more minutes." Mairaaj begged her as he hugged her, his big bear arms keeping her safe in their embrace...... He looked at her face, even in the morning glow, she looked etheral. Her hairwas delicately lying on the bed. He ducked his head into her neck as he left sweet kisses making her giggle.
"Oh I forgot, mere saath Maahit aur Aliya bhi aaye the." she chuckled when she realized she completely forgot about the two.
"They're adults, they can deal with it. Tum sirf mujh pe focus karo." he said hugging her even tightly to which he
got a whack on the head by Noor."Its 11am. Hame uthna hoga. I wanna see Venice and you have work."
After much persuasion, finally Mairaaj and Noor got ready for the day. Noor wore a simple dress that the hotel staff bought for her from a department store.
"Kahan chalen?" Mairaaj asked.
"Abhi to mei apne hotel jaa rhi hun to check up on Aliya." she replied.
"Lets go then." he said.
"Ik minute, ik minute. You don't have to go to the office?"
He shook his head to which Noor beamed up. They both headed out.

Rightnow, Aliya was sitting in her bed, her hand on her forehead, her lower lip being brutally cut open by her teeth but she felt no pain. Just humiliation as the events of last night came rushing to her like a tornado.
"Oh my god, ye mne kia kiya!!?" she said as she remembered the emberressing things she did last night.
She got off the bed, still in the same white dress, her red hair a havoc. She ran towards the window. It was still Venice. Somehow, she wished it wasn't and that last night was just her brain playing some tricks on her but guess not."God!! " she was pacing around the room.
"He's going to think, I'm such an idiot. How did this even happen?" her speed increasing.
"What if.... I just pretend to not remember? Ahh thats even worse."
Dejected, she went to sit by her bed side. Her eyes fell to the little paper bag on it. She could have sworn it wasn't there before. She picked it up and peeked inside. hangover medicine and a note,
Take this when you get up, nutmeg is really strong so this should help. I'll send your breakfast up.
MahitA smile instantly palyed on her lips but then she instantly remembered what she did and her momentary happiness once again turned into emberressment.
She had already emberresed herself enough. The only way to get over it would be to act cool.
"Right. I'll just pretend its not a big deal."
She wore a simple outfit, and was on her way down.
"Hi, is Mr Maahit here?" she asked at the reception.
"Mr Maahit is at the breakfast lounge. I'll take you to him." the woman replied curtly, her voice thick with the italian accent.
She followed her constantly consoling herself, its ok its ok. be cool.
There he was sitting, a newspaper in his hand, his thin rimmed glasses on his nose. Aliya wanted to go and take those glasses of his face and put them on hers but soon got out of that trance.
She touched her face that was getting way too hot with the anxiety."Hey! mei breakfast uper hi bhijwa deta." he said, smiling.
Aaliya felt her heartbeat picking up like she was about to run a marathon.
"Nhe, Its fine." she said, gulping.
"Ooh blueberries." she heard herself exclaim suddenly but regretted it as soon as the words came out. She emberressd herself just a little over 10 hours ago. There she goes again."Ahmm. Blueberries." she cleared her throat. Maahit let out a silent chuckle at her antics.
In just a few encounters, he felt like he knew her every habit, her every antic her every mischief."I didn't know you liked blueberries."
he said to tear down the anxiety."I actually love them." she replied, a genuine gleam in her eyes.
"Wait, Noor kahan hai. Vo breakfast nhe kr rhi." she asked while cutting a puece of the pancake and sticking it to the fork.
"Yeah, about that. Mairaaj ka phone aya tha. They're together. We're actually supposed to meet them at the plaza in an hour."
"Ahh really." She exclaimed." I'm so glad they made up." she smiled. Maahit couldn't help but gaze at her.
After breakfast, they visited the plaza where the two pairs finally met again.
They visited many places, looking around taking polaroid pictures.
This was a much needed vacation for all four of them.Mairaaj and Noor would secretly look at each other and smile.
"Blehh. get a room you two." Maahit said and Aaliya laughed hysterically.
"Shut up." Mairaaj and Noor said together.
Noor couldn't be more thankful for the peace life was offering her rightnow but she knew that to save this peace, she is going to have to walk through hell and back.
While smilingly walking through the museum, Noor noticed a shadow glooming around the corners. Even after trying to pretend not to see him, the shafow just wouldn't leave. Noor knew exactly whose shadow it was......
Mooen was keeping an eye on her.
