"Yeh sahi hai.... Nikkah ko ek din bhi nahi hua aur woh chali gayi college." Rukhsar mumbled as she pour tea for her husband

(Not many days has passed of her nikkah, and she re joined her college.)

Huzaifa's face was hidden behind newspaper, but his ears was turned to his wife. Listening to her complains but not saying anything to her

"Chalo theek hai,Kabhi Taya aur tayi ka lihaz na aya par ab toh saas aur sasur Hain hum uske, itna bhi ehtram nahi ki bagal wale portion mein zara sa jhak ke Salam hi keh de." She sat on the chair opposite him and complain, using her hands to act her words too

(I understands that she never cared about her uncle and aunty, but now, we are her in laws too, at least she should respect this new relationship between us,)

"Aap Meri baat sunn bhi rahe Hain ya main hawao se baat Kar rahi hoon?" Huzaifa's lack of response irked her as she irritatedly asked

(Are you even listening to me or am I talking into air?)

"Ji, ji... Main toh bas apke hath ki banai hui chai enjoy kar raha hoon." Huzaifa quickly picked his cup and said,

(Yes, I was just enjoying the tea which you made.)

He knows the nature of his wife very well, that's why he didn't replied to her rambling, beside today his mood was very pleasant,

"Ek ghoont bhi nahi liya aur chai enjoy bhi Karli. Rehne dein, sab maloom Hai ki bhatiji ki koi khamiya nahi dikhti hain apko." Rukhsar's brows creased in annoyance

(You haven't even took a sip of it. I know, you just don't want to hear anything against your niece.)

"Agar Ayla ko aap apni beti ki tarah manegi to apko bhi koi khamiya nahi dikhengi. Achhi ladki Hai woh." Huzaifa gently said while putting the cup back on table

(If you'll think of Ayla as your daughter, you will realize she is indeed a good girl.)

"Achhi ladki Hai par itna khayal nahi aya ki humari salamati hi puch leti college Jane se pehle. Rishte badal Gaye Hain ab, ussey iska khayal rakhna chahiye." Rukhsar picked the white cup and took a sip of it, then replied to her husband

(Very nice girl she is that she didn't even asked how we are before leaving for college,)

Huzaifa took a sigh, looking at other side then again looked at Rukhsar,

"Ayla se fursat agar mil gayi ho toh apne laad sahab pe bhi dhyan dijiye." To avert her mind from Ayla, Huzaifa said

(If you get some time from Ayla, then focus on your son too.)

"Ab Kabir ne Kya Kar Diya? Ab toh Hanan bhi Chala gaya Jo ussey ulti seedhi cheezein karwata tha." Putting her cup back on table, Rukhsar asked as her eyes expanded

(What did Kabir do now? Now Hanan isn't here to teach him weird things.)

"Main Kaif ki baat kar raha Hoon? Kaha Hai woh? Ab Tak utha nahi?" Huzaifa got startled in the mention of Kabir and Hanan

(I'm talking about Kaif? Where he is? He is still sleeping?)

"Sone dijiye ussey, waise bhi kitno dino se kaha sukoon se soya hoga, pehle Rehnuma ki shaadi ki taiyyari phir apne nikkah mein busy Tha." Rukhsar becoem relax when heard Kabir hadn't done anything, then said in the favour of Kaif

(Let him rest, he is tired from many days, first Rehnuma's marriage then his own nikkah.)

"Bol toh aise rahi Hain aap jaise woh na hota toh Rehnuma ki shaadi hi nahi hoti, aur apne nikkah mein Kya Kiya? Sirf qubool Hai kehne mein thakk gaye woh?" Huzaifa fold his newspaper and asked
