When Fire Meets Ice - Completed.

I N A Y A

My cramps are adamant on killing me right here, it hurts like every nerve is being pulled out of my body slowly, making it excruciatingly painful.

I got my periods this morning and it hurts like someone has been punching me from inside continuously, the pain coursing all through my back and lower limbs. Now I understand why was I having stomach ache and mood swings recently.

And on top of that, I'm here. In this mall, shopping! Huhh!!

"Take a look at this one". I said, holding out a Navy blue tuxedo, his attention drifted to me and he smiled.

Taking it from my hand, he spoke, "Now this one is amazing".

"Go and try it on once!" I said and he whined, making a face. I glared at him, pointing towards the trial room and he huffed, walking towards it. I heard the staff chuckle around us and when I looked at them, they got silent immediately.

Do I look scary?

'No you look like their boss' arrogant wife!' My subconcious mocked.

'Oh! I'm not rude atleast...' I defended myself from myself. Wow. As if I'm already not crazier!!

He walked out, adjusting the sleeves and I just stared at him in awe, my eyes never ready to look away. He smirked, walking closer as he whispered, "Like what you see?"

I was snapped out of my thoughts, clearing my throat as I held out a black Tuxedo, "Try this one!" He frowned, "Why? This looks just as well!"

I glared at him once again, my stomach ache adding to my annoyance. "Ahad! You either try this, or I'm gonna punch that handsome face of yours". I gritted my teeth.

His eyes widened in mock horror, the expressions soon replaced by amusement as he whispered in my ear, "So you do agree that I'm handsome?" He asked and I smirked, turning my head to look into his eyes.

Standing on my tip-toes, I whispered, "I've always found you breathtaking". I placed a feathery kiss on his cheek and he inhaled sharply, caught off guard by my action.

It was no later that his cheek flushed crimson and I chuckled, looking away. My own face was warm. Thankfully, no one was here!

"I-i'll try this one". He spoke and hurried back into the room. I laughed, knowing too well how he wanted to hide his blushing self.

Oh Mr.Qureshi!! I so Love-Wait! What?

No no! I straightened up visibly, my gaze hardening as I just realised where had my thoughts been drifting!!

He walked out and I avoided his gaze as we finalized the black Tuxedo for wedding. Sasha and Hafsa emerged out of the mall behind us, holding 'n' number of bags, the number unknown! It weren't less than 10 though.

Ahad took them and placed them in the trunk, "You're not going shopping any soon now". He said, making them gasp.

"Bhaii! We can't survive without thaatt".. they yelled together and I laughed at their antics.

He glared at them but smiled anyhow, we settled in the car and left. It was close to 4 pm by now.

He dropped us at home and left for the Asr prayer. I walked into our room, my cramps in no mood to subside and what could I even expect? The wedding is tomorrow, and they would just get worse!!
