"Kaise ho, shukriya?Mujhko Jo
Chunn liya.
Haale dil na keh sake, tumne toh sunn liya."
________________________________I always had kept diary, I used to write everything in it. Everything that was unbearable, something I can't share it with anyone else but Allah. But I had stopped long ago, since Alem came in my life. There was nothing unbearable now, everything had became so much easier in my life since he entered.
"So it is final? Agle Jummah ko nikah hai, Aur parso haldi hai." My father confirmed while looking at Jehangir uncle.
(So it's final? The wedding is next Friday, and haldi ceremony is day after tomorrow.)
Jehangir uncle between Alem and me and smiles gently. "Is it fine with you two?"
I glance at him to see what's he's going to say. He smiles back at his dad and nods. "It's fine with me too." I said.
"What? What are you doing?" I asked when I noticed that he was staring at me and I saw a hint of a smile on his lips.
"Admiring my wife."
My heart stammered in my chest.
My breath hitched.That word slipped from his mouth like a poem,that he wrote for me...
to admire me...to cherish me...."I-I am not... I am not your wife yet."
I stuttered."But you will be soon, Maahe Maan."
I look down at my lap. Fidgeting my fingers. I was damn shy....."Aap sharmaati bhi hai?" His lips turned into an teasing smirk.
("So you can be shy too? Huh?")
"Nahi, main insaan nahi hu. Main nahi sharma sakti na?"
("No, I am not a human. I don't get shy.")
"Woh toh mujhe patah hai ke aap sirf ek aam insaan nahi hai." He said while he was sitting so close to me that his arms grazed against mine.
("I know that you're not just some mere human.")
"Toh main kya hu?" I raised my eyebrow.
("Then what am I?")
"Aap toh mera sab kuch hai..."
("You're my everything.")
"I don't believe you..." I smile teasingly.
"Kaise batau main tumhe, ke tumhare bina main kuch bhi nahi hu, meri jaan."
