As soon as we reached, I walked towards Mom and Dad's room. Mum smiled as I walked in and settled beside her. We talked randomly for a while before I placed my head on her lap, laying down simply.

"What happened, beta?" She asked, caressing her hand through my hair. I smiled, closing my eyes, "Nothing."

"Hey, young man! Aren't you supposed to be with your wife now, and here you are! With my wife." He rolled his eyes, visibly annoyed. Mom chuckled, passing him a glare.

I think this is universal! A man wants his woman all for himself, while she always shuts him up with a mere glare. No matter who he is!!

"I love your wife more than you do, Dad!" I teased him more. He nodded his head, settling beside Mom as he spoke, "I'll speak to you when you'll have your own children." My heart skipped a beat, feeling a weird warmth flutter in my chest.

Our children!

I smiled involuntarily and closed my eyes again.

"You didn't retort this time? Speechless?" Dad asked and I knew he was smirking, as I was never the one to back off from an argument.

"Hmm." I just hummed and stayed asleep in Mom's lap.

I sat up after a while, "okay! I'll get going." I spoke and Dad exhaled heavily, "Finally!"

I rolled my eyes, Mom just glared at him again and he shrugged his shoulders innocently. I shook my head at them, "Goodnight, Mum and Dad." I wished before I proceeded to retire to my room.

As I passed by Sasha's room, I heard loud laughter and talks, the voices belonging to Hafsa and Inaya undoubtedly. I decided not to disturb them as I just walked away, into the hall then, finding Asim sprawled across the couch. We had just returned from the masjid after praying Isha prayer. "Why're you still here?"

"I was waiting for you, Bhai.. Ahmed told me to inform you to meet him tomorrow at his centre! After lunch.."

"Oh, okay!"

The dinner was casual, eaten between random talks and teasing. All this while, I noticed Sasha being weirdly silent. She'd usually tease or trouble Asim or Ahmed with something, but did none today.

And beside me, was my wife, eating silently like she hadn't done anything to trouble me before!!

And later as I entered our room, I found her seated on the bed, checking through some folders. She was dressed in loose cerulean blue pajamas, her hair a little wet and left open. She had taken off all her jewelries except for that diamond ring and bracelet, simply elegant.

"Ahad." She called out. I ignored her simply and walked inside the closet.

Taking a refreshing shower, I got dressed into a grey sweatshirt and black track pants. As I walked out, she was standing near the bed, tapping her one foot furiously on the floor-something she did when she was angry.

I stifled a smirk, watching her glare harden. Call this adventure or experimentation, but I was really enjoying this. Then, walking towards the bed, I took the pillow, an extra blanket and proceeded to walk towards the couch. I saw her eyes widen from my peripheral vision, but I was enjoying it way too much now.
