Rehman POV

"Begum Sahiba Kaha hai?"

"Where is Begum Sahiba?" I asked an attendee with squinted eyes, wondering why she had not come down to welcome the family.

She bent down a little.

"We asked her, Sultan. But she refused to come down." Her reply made me lift my eyes a little up and stare at the windows of our chamber for a moment. It was hundreds of meters away from but still visible.

"Is she okay?" I asked further, and she nodded before going away there.

The noise of the Tabla, Rubab, and Tanbur intensified as my Abbujaan's convoy approached closer. With every passing moment, a smile grew on my lips.

"They are finally here," Ammijaan's words caught my attention, and I nodded.

"ji,"

"Hamari Batchi kaha hai?"

"Where is my daughter?" she asked, raking her eyes around. I tied my hands behind me and sighed.

"She has not come down," I replied, and Ammijaan tried to look into my eyes.

A timid smile appeared on my lips, remembering the court's affair. She is bold. She is cute as well.

"Hamari bachi ko kuch kaha aapne?"

"You said something to my child?" she asked, and I turned my gaze to her.

"Kya kahenge hum aapki batchi ko?"

"What would I say to your child?" I asked, and she smiled widely.

"She is so cute, no? I mean, it's not even a single day since she arrived, and I could already feel her mesmerizing presence in the air. She is so lovely. Her smile is so charming,"

"Pagal hai aapki bachi,"

"Your child is mad," I cut her off.

And she immediately glared at me.

"Do you not dare to speak like that in her respect. She is my daughter, my lovely little child," she said, and a wide smile appeared on my face.

She was not aware what was the actual face of her lovely little child.

Suhaagraat?

I did not know wives were that straightforward.

She managed to shock me.

And that kiss?

I could still feel her lips only a centimeters away from mine, right on the cheek.

She is beautiful, though.

She had changed a lot. And her smile is beautiful as well.

Inhaling a deep breath, I looked ahead at my Abbujaan, stepping down his horse, and I shook my head mentally to wipe her thoughts.

"Sultan Rehman Sulaiman," he addressed me, opening his arms wide, and I immediately went for a tight hug.

"Assalamwalaikum, Abbujaan," I wished, closing my eyes and quenching my thirst for his fatherly love of months.

He patted my back hard, and I gently pulled back.

Holding his hand, I kissed his knuckles and brushed them against my eyes to seek his blessings.
