His Rose

Chapter 12

It was from that day onwards Zaeem and Zaria overcame the obstacles in their marriage together. As Zaeem promised, he spent every day making it up to his wife.

They were happily married for 8 months now.

During the past months, they flew over to England for a week, came back for Zaria's birthday, she turned 21, then a few months later Zaeems birthday came, and Zaria threw a surprise party for him, he turned 28.

Also, Tiffany paid for the problems she put out between the couple, turned out her father and she wanted to break Zaria and Zaeem from each other so Tiffany could have him, Zaeem found out and took away all his investments from them, he now had hold of all their stocks and holdings, in other words, their business had crumbled and they had nothing.

When Zaria found out she was more than happy over Tiffany's punishment for her treachery.

The couple was now playing Cupid for Esha and Ali.

Ali was hellbent on flirting his way to Esha every chance he got while the girl herself was waiting to roast him every opportunity she got.

And it went on and on, but Zaeem and Zaria saw past all the hatred and flirting, they knew they both were meant to be.

Turned out Zaria's mom, was sick but it wasn't cancer just how they had hoped, her mother's sickness was treatable and was currently, going through treatment.

Zaeem and Zaria both wanted kids, they had joked around about it but they didn't openly talk about the matter seriously.

It was a month back when an incident happened.

"Zaeem pass me my phone please," Zaria said, putting the earrings in place.

"Baby we are late," Zaeem muttered,

"Yes, I see that, get the car ready and I'm coming," she said, ushering him out.

After a while they were on their way to Zaeems parent's house, it was just a family lunch.

After they greeted Zaeems parents and Nina, Babar and Hasan they all sat down in the garden when the table was set up.

"Zaria there is something poking me through my collar," Zaeem hissed, tugging at the collar of his white shalwar kameez.

Zaria got up and stood by his side, she saw a white plastic tag stick poking at his neck, she tried pulling it with her hands but it didn't work.

"Wait it's too hard to pull it with my hands," she muttered and she leaned down and bit into the collar tag stick, her hair falling in front of her acting as a barrier.

Making it look like to the people outside that she was kissing Zaeems neck.

"Zee mami what are you doing," came little hasans horrified voice.

She looked up to see him covering his mouth with his tiny hands and the rest of their family looking at them with awkward, shocked, and 'trying to keep in their laughs' faces.

She looked at Zaeem who was trying to hide his smile and it hit her, what they were making faces about. She groaned and pulled the tag out.

"Uhh Z-Zaeem had this stuck in his c-collar," she said, as she flushed and quickly sat in her seat. Everyone laughed and continued their conversation.

"Mama baba look that's cats tummy is soooo big," Hasan said, pointing at a ginger colored cat crossing the garden.

"That's because it has a baby inside," Babar explained, as his son looked at him with wide eyes.
