"'Tum' nahi, 'aap' bolo," he demanded, crossing his arms like a child trying to act like an adult.
"No chance," she smirked.
He narrowed his eyes, clearly not used to losing a battle.
"Main husband hoon tumhara. Tum mujhe 'aap' bologi. Samjhi?"
"Husband ho toh kya hua?" she shrugged like it meant nothing.
"Ruhi bhi toh Zayan bhai ko 'aap' bolti hai. So why can't you?"
"Because Zayan bhai is older than Ruhi," she said with a sweet but savage smile.
"And so am I."
"Sirf do mahine ke," she scoffed.
Zain clenched his jaw dramatically. "Ishu, don't make me mad. Call me aap, or I'll tell Mumma."
"Ohh, Mumma's boy ko bura lag gaya?" she teased. "Kya karoge? You'll cry?"
He sighed, defeated, rubbing his temple. "It's enough now... dimag kharab mat karo mera."
"Tumhare paas dimag hai bhi?" she raised an eyebrow.
"Tumse toh zyada hi hai," he grinned.
"Haan, isiliye tumhare marks hamesha mujhse kam aate hain... hai na?" she shot back.
He opened his mouth, then closed it again. She won - this round.

Tum aur Mohabbat
Book 2 ββ .β¦ (Not a Standalone) "Mere paas aur koi rasta nahi tha" Ardian finally responded, the weight of his own guilt pushing through. "Unhone... unhone mujhe aapki qasam di thi, Eshal. Mai kaise woh tod sakta tha?" "Toh kya woh qasam unki zindagi se zyada ahm thi?" she demanded, voice trembling with fury and heartbreak. She took a step forward and shoved him-hard. "Kya woh qasam itni ahm thi ki mai unke saath hie na hoti agar kuch ho jata?" Another shove, more forceful this time. Her chest heaved, eyes glistening with tears that refused to fall. "Kya woh qasam itni ahm thi ki mai unhein alvida bhi na keh pati?" She pushed him again, almost stumbling herself. Then came the storm. She slammed her fists onto his chest, not out of anger, but out of desperation. Pain. Grief. Betrayal. "Aap mere saath aisa kaise kar sakte hai?" she cried, each word torn from her soul as she kept hitting him-again, and again, and again. He just stood there, letting every blow land, letting her anger pour out of her like a dam breaking. And when she finally stopped, her shoulders shaking with sobs-he gently reached forward and took her hands in his. He began massaging them softly. His touch was featherlight. Tender. Like she was the one who'd been wounded. Not him. She yanked her hands back as if his touch burned her. Shoved him gently, voice hoarse. "Dhoor rahein." He took a small step back, pain flickering in his eyes. "Mai aap par bharosa karna seekh rahi thi," she whispered, her voice cracking. "Lekin ab... ab mai nahi kar sakti. Aap woh shakhs nahi hein jispar mai bharosa kar sakoon." The words hit like bullets. Something behind his eyes cracked, months of trust and softness they had built reduced to rubble with just one sentence.Complete

The fated ties (Rewritten)
"You left me here alone... can't you see I'm almost blind now?" she said, frustration lacing her voice. Still, no response. "Are you even listening to me? He could be here any time, and I'm not ready yet. What will he say after seeing me like this?" she kept blabbering. She paused, startled by a deep chuckle. Her breath hitched. Wait... why does that laugh sound so manly? She froze the moment she felt a warm breath fan across her face. "Yahi ke kitni pyaari lag rahi hai meri begum," came his husky voice. (That how pretty my wife is looking) "You-u?" she whispered, stunned. She tried to open her eyes, but he gently stopped her. "Don't open them yet. Your eyeliner's still wet," he said. She nodded silently. Goosebumps broke across her skin as she felt him leaning closer, his breath brushing over her eyelids. "W-what a-are you d-doing?" she stammered. "Drying your eyeliner," he replied casually and continued. She squeezed her eyes shut, unable to handle his nearness.
