"Shahzaib hum ghar kab vapis jayege?"
Urwa questioned, leaning against the headboard of the bed. In the afternoon Bilal came, and they had a wonderful conversation. Shahzaib and Bilal were more close than expected. Bilal shared various incidents Shahzaib fueled into.Overall it was fun. She enjoyed listening to all the chaos her husband was involved in.

"Kyu mere saath bore ho raha hai?"
Shahzaib questioned, glancing at her for a second and again focusing back on the laptop. There was urgent work which is needed to done.

Urwa shook her head
"Par I think ghar laut jana chahiye main bhi saari zimmedariyan chod ke aayi hu bewajah maa ko takleef hogi"

Shahzaib shook his head as he clicked enter type and kept the laptop on the table near him. When will she understand? He scooted towards her as he held her hand

"Ghar toh hum jayege par thode din baad, tumhari zimmedariyan hai main mana nahi karunga par un zimmedariyo ko tumhari zindagi ke beech main mat aane do"

"Matlab?"
Urwa questioned, turning her face towards Shahzaib.

"Matlab apni zimmedari nibhao par apni khushiyo main compromise mat karo che(6) mahine se ideal bahu, biwi bani ho na? Phir aab maze karo. Aab maine tumhare nakhre uthane hai. Mujhe bhi toh ideal husband banane ka mauko do hmm?"
Shahzaib spoke, patting her left cheek.

"Tum phele se hi ideal husband ho"
Urwa responded, giving him a small smile.

Shahzaib didn't respond as he shook his head. His eyes fell on the clock as he again looked at Urwa.
"Chalo"

"Aab kaha?"
Urwa questioned, raising her eyebrows.

"Chalo bola na maine"
Shahzaib urged getting down from the bed. Urwa sighed but nonetheless nodded.

"Shohar ho tum aakhir baat maane hi padegi"
Shahzaib chuckled as he held Urwa's hand and led her towards the garden behind the house.

"Mujhe yaha kyu leke aaye ho?"
Urwa questioned, looking at him.

Shahzaib didn't answer as he continued looking at her face.

"Shahzaib? Kya hua hai?"
Urwa questioned again.

Suddenly a flake of snow started falling. The gentle dance of snowflakes as they embark on their journey from the sky to the ground is nothing short of magical. A sense of awe and wonder that captivated Urwa's heart and soul.

"Shahzaib yeh dekho snowfall. Kitna khubsurat hai yeh"
Urwa spoke, looking at the falling snow. It was so ethereal and fascinating.

Shahzaib kept looking at her and he spoke
"Sach main bada khubsurat hai"

Urwa looked at Shahzaib as she tapped his face and raised her eyebrows
"Kaha kho gaye the?"

"Kahi nahi"
Shahzaib responded, giving her a small smile. He seems to smile more in her presence.

"Sach main?"
Urwa questioned, walking towards him erasing the distance between them.

Shahzaib nodded his head as he saw Urwa moving towards him.

"Pakka?"

Urwa questioned.

Shahzaib nodded but before he could say anything further Urwa pecked his lips and moved back and laughed seeing his shocked expression.

Did she just kiss him? And left him hanging on thread?

"Urwa"
Shahzaib spoke, his voice laced with seriousness but an underlying edge of amusement coating it.

"Hmm?"
Urwa questioned, giving her one of the best innocent smiles.

"Tumhe toh main"
Shahzaib warned as he ran towards her, to which she laughed and started running as well.
