(POV: Zayyan)


In a blink of an eye, it has already been three weeks since I got married. Gradually, I can feel Naina changing towards me. In a good way. I can feel her feelings changing, and it would only be a matter of time till she confesses that she is also in love with me, the same way I am in love with her. Madly so.

I was sitting in my office, thinking about my wife when suddenly, someone barged into the office. I looked up, and of course, it is none other than my stupid friend, Fahad.

"Why do you always barge in? Don't you have hands to knock before coming in? Or your brain doesn't instruct that to you?" I asked. This is my usual complain whenever he does this. Not like I mind, I am used to it. But I am just saying, maybe he will change one day.

"Oh come on. You know I won't stop" he said cheekily. "I came to greet you. You know we have been busy since in the morning. Wanna come join me for lunch?", he asked.

I replied with a smile making its way unknowingly to my face. "Nope, my wife already prepared my lunch and gave me. You can go out on your own" I teased him. That's when I remembered I had something to discuss with him. Something about Yesmin.

"When do you plan on settling down as well?
Don't you have any girl at mind?" I asked. I know fully well that he likes my sister, for some time now. And I have been waiting for him to approach me about it.

"Well, I kinda do, but i don't know if she likes me as well. She is behaving neutral towards me, even ignoring at times ", he replied, with his face downcast and deep in thought . I knew this was the time to get him saying it out. "Aha, I see. But who is this girl? What is her name and who is she?", I asked, keen at getting to know if my guess is right.

"It is Yesm...", he paused and looked at me, a bit weary. I looked at him and smirked," you think you could totally hide from me that you like my sister? How foolish of you to think so my friend", I said.

He seemed to be arguing with his self, before he finally spoke up. "Zayyan, it is not that I wanted to hide it from you. It is just that I don't know how you will react if you found out. And Yesmin still ignores me at times. Soo....". I looked at my friend and just sighed. I understand now why he kept quiet all along. Anyways, if there is anyone that is quite perfect for my sister, then it is Fahad. I only trust him for her.

"As long as you don't hurt her, then I will be waiting for things to work out between you guys" I said, apprehensively, trying to put a strict expression to show how serious I am. He looked at me, as if trying to gauge my words, then finally broke out in a smile. "I promise nothing as such is going to happen."

I have returned home a few minutes ago. It is already 8:30pm. Although Naina is a doctor, she respects my need and tries to make it home as soon as possible. Naina was back already as today was not her night shift. By the time I was home, she has already prepared dinner and was praying when I entered the room. She finished and turned to look at me, while giving me a beautiful smile. No matter how exhausted I am, looking at her smile takes away all the stress in a speed of light. I smiled back at her.

"You are back. Go get some shower and come down for dinner. I will set the table then", she said while standing up. She headed towards the door when I dragged her back by snaking my arms around her waist and turned her around to look at me.

"Zayyan....", she started but I put my index finger on her lips. ""How about watching a movie after dinner? I am a bit tired from work and I know you are as well. You in?", I asked, even though I know she would agree.
