SHUMAYLL 

The ring fit her perfectly, i knew her favorite color is black so i had the ring engraved in black and silver stones 

it was the king and queen ring 

She was not the whole gold kinda girl and our rings would match though 

her birthday bash came to an end after dinner and we had to part ways 

Iqra was already falling asleep 

By the time we reached home, she was sleeping soundly 

Chuckling, I got off and decided to carry her up to the room

abba and mom were already asleep i think as they had come home early whilst bhai and bhabhi were still not home as bhabhi wanted to go some place at midnight!

I opened the front door and then headed upstairs after closing it behind me making a mantle note to check it after i place Iqra on the bed 

After i placed my wife on the bed, i pulled the comforter over her and hit on the ac to 22 degrees before walking out of the room to check on the front door 

Locking the door, i checked the kitchen for food and found some chips 

taking it with me along with a bottle of water, i went back to my room to finish off some pending work 

I set there with my laptop until 3 in the morning when i heard Iqra shuffle around the bed 

I turned around to her and saw that she was seated on the bed, staring at me 

'Why are you up?" i questioned her and she sighed

"Why are you not sleeping?" she questioned me and i smiled 

"Because i have work, now sleep" i said and she shook her head 

stepping off the bed, she stood straight and looked down on herself 

"Eeek, i look horrible! I need to change" she muttered 

i chuckled 

She walked into the bathroom and i went back to work 

tapping away in my laptop, i stopped again when i heard the bathroom door shut 

I looked up to see Iqra walking out, her hair slightly damp and she wore a tees and leggings 

typical Iqra 

"Why did you wash you hair this late?" i asked her and she shrugged 

"You will get a cold!" i tried to reason and she chuckled

"Relax, i am fine!!" she muttered and i sighed 

she took a seat infront of me on the floor and leaned onto the couch as she switched on the TV 

Some cartoon began playing and she set there watching 

I sighed and went back to work 

10 minutes later, i was beside her, pulling her onto my lap 

"What the- Shumayll!!" she whined and hit my chest 

"You know you love me" i winked, brushing her wet hair away from her neck
