Author's POV:

_A Few Days of Bliss_

After the Walima, Ibrahim and Noor spent their days basking in the joy of their new life together.
One morning, while sipping tea, Ibrahim teased Noor:

"Mujhe kabhi nahi laga tha ke aap pehle confess karoge" (You confessed first, I never thought!) Said Ibrahim caressing her hair.

"Kisi ko initiative leni thi, warna aap kitne slow thae!" Noor looked up at him as she was laying her head on his lap (Someone had to take the initiative, otherwise you were too slow!)

Achha ji! Ibrahim said keeping his cup a side and started ticking Noor thier laughter echoed in the whole room.....

One evening, while driving Noor to her favorite park, Ibrahim brought up the topic:

"Um..Noor, kya hum ek alag ghar dhundhein? Sirf hum dono ke liye? Aap ko kya lagta hai" (Noor, should we find a separate house? Just for the two of us? What do you think) Ibrahim asked Noor taking her hand in his

"Kyun Aap mere bhaiyon ke aap ko satane se bachna chahte ho?" (Why you want to escape my brothers' teasing?) Noor teases him.

Ibrahim smiled mischievously and said "Woh toh bonus hai! Main aapke liye ek peaceful oasis banana chahta hoon." (That's a bonus! I want to create a peaceful oasis for you.)
"Main bhi chahti hoon, lekin hum apne family ko zaroor visit karte rahenge." Noor whined to Ibrahim (I also want that, but we'll still visit our family often.) He obviously agreed to her demands....

Ibrahim and Noor decided to share their decision with their family.

"Ammi, Abbu, tayi ammi, Taya abba humne ek decision liya hai." (Mom, Dad, uncle, aunty we've made a decision.)
"Kya baat hai, beta?" (What is it, child?) Nagma questioned them.

"Wo hum ek alag ghar dhundhna chahte hain, sirf hum dono ke liye." (We want to find a separate house, just for the two of us.) Noor answered her.
Mansoor expressed concern saying "Kya zaroorat hai? Yeh ghar bhi toh tumhara hai." (What's the need? This house is also yours.)

Ibrahim explained, "Hum chahte hain ki humare liye ek alag space ho, jahan hum apne routines ko manage kar sakein." (We want to have a separate space where we can manage our routines.)
"Lekin yahan reh kar bhi to wo ho sakta hai alag jagah jaane ki kya hi zaroorat hai"(but it can be done by staying here as well what's the need to go somewhere else) Sameena expressed...
"Ammi mai aapke jazbaat samajhta hun par ab hamara nikah ho chuka hai aur baaki sab bhi yahan par hai hum bus ek personal space chahte hai jahan hum dono comfortable hon"
("Mom, I understand your feelings, but our marriage has already taken place and everyone else also lives here. We just want a personal space where we can be comfortable together.") Ibrahim tried to convence her.

After some discussion, their family agreed.

The day arrived for Ibrahim and Noor to move into their new home.

As they bid farewell to their family, their mothers had tears in their eyes Noor hugged them both crying together with them and them all the ladies joined them as it was just like a rukhsati for her...
Ibrahim reassured them by saying "Hum zaroor aate rahenge, Ammi, chachi aap sab apna khayal rakhna " (We'll definitely visit, Mom and aunty please take care of yourselves.)

Their family helped them settle into their new home.

Later:

Their days began with the gentle sound of the Azan, from the nearby mosque.

Ibrahim would wake up first, perform Wudu, He'd then gently wake Noor up for the Fajr prayer

"Assalamu alaikum. Mai late ho gayi?" (Am I late?) Noor asked as Ibrahim woke her up.
"Wa alaikum assalam, Thoda sa bus mai bhi aaj daer se utha to masjid nahi ja paya saath mai salah ada karte hai ? Aap jaldi wazu banakar aajaiye hm?( Just a little even I woke up late today so couldn't go to the mosque let's pray together? Perform your abultion quick hm?)
"Ji! Bus 5 min" (yes! Just 5min)

They performed their salah and sat together doing tasbeeh on each others fingers as Ibrahim kept pecking her in between, resting their forehead on each others.

It was time for their day to start, so they prepared a quick breakfast together, who knew that the arrogant CEO would be preparing food for his wife someday...
They prepared some Parathas and heated the curry their mother had packed for them.
They both left the house but before leaving they both fed eachother 3 dates.

Noor would head to college, studying Law...
Ibrahim would leave for his office, being the CEO of his family's successful business conglomerate.

"Assalamu alaikum, apna khayal rakhna aur achhe se kaam karna 10 baar call mat karte rehna hm?"(take care of yourself do your work properly and don't call me 10 times hm?) Noor ordered Ibrahim as he chuckled before replying...
"Wa alaikum assalam aur Aap bhi, meri jaan. College mein focus rakho." (You too, my life. Stay focused in college.)
Ibrahim then sent her off not before pecking her hijab cladded head.

After their respective days, they'd return home, eager to share stories.

Noor would often cook dinner, exploring new recipes.
Ibrahim would join her in the kitchen, assisting and teasing.

"Aap cooking mein kuch nahin karte, sirf khane ke liye aate ho!" (You don't do anything in cooking, you just come to eat!) Noor complained.
"Lekin maine kaha tha ke mai khana banaunga aapne hi to mana kiya tha na Jaan!!" ( But I said that I would make the food but you didn't allow me to love!) Ibrahim protested
Huff!!!!
They'd sit together, enjoying dinner and discussing their day.

"Aaj office mein kya hua?" (What happened in office today?) Noor asked Ibrahim.
"Office mein ek important meeting thi. Business expand karne ki planning hai." (There was an important meeting at the office. We're planning to expand the business.)
They continued sharing their day
As the evening drew to a close, they'd spend time relaxing together.
Ibrahim would read Quran or Islamic literature.
Noor would work on her studies or read novels.

Before bed, they'd perform Isha prayer, then sit together, reflecting on their day they called their family and spent a lot of time talking to them.
Later, both slept in eachothers embrace cuddling and kinda Noor kicking Ibrahim as well but did he mind it nah! Infact he just hugged her even tighter...
