Living Dreams

He looked at her who was busy talking to her friends. He liked her out spoken personality. One thing he came to know from the talk they had on their first night was that, she liked men with attitudes, with long sleeves and talkative just like her.

He decided to change himself for her. He was impressed by the question she asked him. It was her who suggested to start their relationship with understanding and something made her think that sharing their crush experiences would help to understand things. Probably because she knew about Haroon's university love story.

It did help them after all. He was happy to share his past love life with her. Their life started with no secrets.

"Haroon?" He came out of his trance when his friends came to him.

"What man? You told you don't like this marriage but all the time we look at you, you are staring at her. Falling for her na?" Teases Sid, one of his friends.

"Not falling but fell." Replied Haroon, smiling.

"Aww... Aww... love sick na?" Asked Murat, another friend of Haroon.

"Yes of course. So What? She is my wife right?"

"How are you gonna propose her?" Asked Sid.

"Just now they married. Moreover he needs time to forget that Cobra." Said Thariq, Haroon's brother.

(Shabra is referred as Cobra in his circle of friends)

"Hey, Hey, I already confessed her. I don't even remember that Shabra anymore. I told Zikra about her."

"What?" All his friends asked in unison, shocked.

"I thought of telling her about it." Said Thariq.

"What? Why were you planning to tell her?" Asked Murat confused.

"Just as a brother-in-law. I wanted to break one by one his secrets to her. But it seems like he already said it."

"Wait! Wait! Did you say that you proposed her?" Asked Sid. "No surprise or anything? Just simple?"

"I proposed her on our wedding day. She too confessed yesterday." Replied Haroon recalling the beautiful incident.

"That's okay bro. I will tell Dhathii about Azka miss. You're long time crush." Said Thariq happily who was well aware of his brother's life. But his happiness did not last long.

"What are you guyz talking about his tuition class teacher?" It was Zikra. She came and stood next to Haroon and interlaced her fingers with his.

"Haroon?" Murat knitted his brows.

"What Haroon?" Haroon smiled at Zikra. "She knows about her too."

"You guyz are boring. If you both already spoke about those things, what are you gonna talk after this? I mean, it seems that you have spoken about the facts that you both are supposed to talk when you guyz are old." It was Sid.

"We'll have better things to talk about then."

"Aww aww.." it was Murat again.

"We'll make memories to talk about.." Said Zikra blushing.

"I would appreciate it if you guyz can excuse us." Haroon said to all his friends.

"Okay okay, you take your bride and go wherever you want. We will not disturb you." Said Thariq.

Taking use of the opportunity, Haroon went to the backyard with Zikra which was lit brightly. Unlike the front yard, this place was abandoned. The moon's reflection was swimming in the small waves of the pool.
