As they reached home they read the dua and Salam and entered their home Aaliya changed and went to get the dinner ready and Ehtasham took shower changed and stood to offer namaz.After finishing namaz he went to the kitchen and helped Aaliya prepare and serve dinner ,they had their dinner and cleared up everything and all this while Aaliya's chattering continued half of which Ehtasham dint understand and other half he dint hear.
Then Ehtasham walked to bedroom and got into the bed with his laptop as he still had pending work to be done and Aaliya went on to check if all the doors were properly locked and if everything was in its places after she was done checking everything she walked into the bedroom and jumped into the bed and snuggled into her quilt.
"Aaliya did you read your Isha" asked Ehtasham in a strict voice
"No I will read it after taking a nap or will read qaza in fajr as I am feeling too tired and sleepy" Aaliya said to convince Ehtasham that she was tired
But Ehtasham was adamant "if you are not reading your namaz I won't let you sleep and will pour a jug of cold water on you".
Hearing this she immediately got up as she remembered the last time when he had done the same to her and she dragged herself to the bathroom to make wudhu and came out and started praying.
Ehtasham smiled thinking of how childish she acted and continued with his work.
Aaliya after finishing salah came to Ehtasham read ayatulkursi and blew it on him.
"Come on let's sleep I am too sleepy" she said holding his arm.
"You sleep I will come in sometime after finishing this work" he said and she jumped to her side and again snuggled under the quilt and within minutes she fell asleep.
After finishing his work Ehtasham looked at his wife who was sleeping peacefully and smiled and thought of what would have happened if she weren't there in his life.
Ehtasham never showed his feelings nor he ever confessed it to Aaliya because he never knew how to express his feelings to her. Though Aaliya knew how much he loved her she always wanted him to confess it to her and express it and she tried many times to make him confess but he never confessed his feelings to her.
Aaliya was a bubbly girl who always dreamt of Bollywood type of romance and Ehtasham dint like it as he thought of it as mere show off but Aaliya kept on acting romantic with him.
He thought of all her silly talks and snuggled her close to him and kissed her on her forehead and said I love you Aaliya and I can't live without you the words she wanted to hear when she was awake he used to say them to her every night when she was asleep so that she doesn't hear them.
